Hey guys: i blocked that guy and i suggest you do the same. Hes weird and called me a slur in DMs and is denying the fact the USSR was a authoritarian state that oppressed millions. He thinks calling my degrees worthless because hes uneducated makes him right and, despite the fact many western institutions are in fact riddled with colonialism and imperialism, historians as a profession have worked to deconstruct those probelms (me included). Please believe professionals ❤️
You keep using AI overview, all the while critiquing my methods of knowledge production? I never said i hate communism you nitwit. And my history program, as most history programs, works to deconstruction western thinking. But the USSR was decidedly not a great state and if you think it is because “the us hates it so it must be good”, you would be very foolish.
I have three degrees and you can say what you want but i am intellectually more apt to talk about this subject because your method of thinking is fundamentally flawed and takes critique to mean hate and “one thing is bad, must mean other thing good!” Kinda caveman thinking. This is why our country is cooked.
No one, and i mean no one, claimed to be an unbiased arbiter of history. Thats like, history class 102. We all bring implicit biases into research, whether historical or otherwise. But YOU have brought a bias against the US thats so deep that you somehow have come full circle for dick riding for the USSR!!! You’re clearly not very smart, so don’t make any rash political statements when you can’t even understand the fact the US and USSR are BOTH bad.
No— i as well as all INCLUDING YOU benefit from imperialism. Which is why i have taken numerous steps to prevent that from seeping into my work. Black studies training will do that. But to try to suggest the USSR is a good state is simply foolish at best and stupidity at worst. Maybe take a glance at many of our homegrown marxists like Du Bois. But oh wait. You’d call him a crock of shit. 😂
So you admit you benefit from imperialism. And the USSR funded and armed anti-imperialist movements worldwide, including Cuba, Vietnam, Algeria, South Africa, Mozambique, Guinea, Kenya, Indonesia, etc etc. So logically it follows, you have a financial conflict of interest with the USSR. Yes?
And it also funded imperialism is South Asia. You benefit from imperialism too my friend. Act like a saint all you want— none of us leave this world under patriarchal racial capitalism unscathed. Unfortunately thats the world left to us. But to try to sugarcoat a horrible regimes misdoings because its the closest we have come to the ideal system is actually inane. See: thats the thing about historians. We work to deconstruct our biases. You clearly dont “oh true scholar”
Hey, ive gotta go to bed. But you know what my favorite part about history is? Theres a term and methodology literally dedicated to correcting previous scholars: its called historiography and its vitally important to every piece of history written. It is a moment of self reflection in which scholars acknowledge the historical wrongs done by the field. And thats the best part: whereas we self reflect as a vital part of our profession: you don’t even know where to start. Goodnight, oh sweet chud.
This is really sad lol. I blocked you because i wanted to go to bed without your weirdly obsessive notifications blowing me up. I have no conflict of interest and get no government money to say the USSR was objectively a bad state. Did you know the USSR killed gay people? Very revolutionary of them 😂. Get a life “scholar”.
