One of my favorite historical tidbits is a letter from an ancient Egyptian to his friend that's along the lines of "My dude, I don't know what argument you and your wife had, but please apologize already. She's crashing with us and she's eating all of our food."

I mean, yeah exactly, that's WHY you study history, to learn why people did things back then. And when you learn they're just like us, with bad copper and arguments with their wives, you can understand. And apply those lessons toward our own future.

Studying history because you think it's like a storybook full of invulnerable superheroes is deranged

What is the walrus thing mentioned in the shop description? I assume some stupid right-wing meme?

Edit: Wait, he was the one who wrote the transphobic walrus kids book, wasn't he? :doh:

He's the one who did that whole bullshit "what is a woman" movie that Elon so graciously streamed for free on Twitter

There was a massively popular tv show about the life of Henry the VIII. And it wasn't because everyone thinks he was a cool dude.

That guy's just probably really mad Spartans were factually, historically losers, because their ideas about lifestyle appeal to his simplistic worldview and he can't cope with the fact they were terribly, shatteringly wrong.

EDIT: Like you can probably say some poo poo about all the ancient Greek city-states and societies but as far as I understand it the Spartans have the unique distinction of having thrown everything else out to try and focus entirely on martial discipline and warfare and then failed to succeed in that, which, oops!

People who want all their history, stories, movies, etc, to cater to their whims are babies, in essence. And like babies they throw a tantrum when they don't get their way.

one of my really really good friends from high school lives in Japan and translates genderqueer novels and manga and stuff for a living, there really is some good stuff out there

I think it's because Japan is known for having conformity baked into its national Identidy, LGBTQ communities don't exist outside of fetish settings.

It doesn't cross their minds that Japan has its own Queer communities with their own fights for respect.

I remember someone on Twitter posted a research book about the history of Yaoi and it mentioned how exposure to Queer stories could lead women to consider life without a family or even transgenderism.

And how unwitting exposure to queer content is sexual harrasment towards stright people.

If your whole thing is vibes over facts you probably wouldn't make a great historian anyway so when you back out because not enough lip service is being given to Great Man Theory nobody's really losing out on your contributions.

That's literally his followup tweet so yes he's baked Spartans into some projected concept of perfect right wing masculinity and he's mad that people are saying they were bad. Or gay.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I mean, It's basically just Jesus giving us an out because the rules his father put down were bullshit. Dying for our sins is basically just "Look, it's fine, you can't help being jealous or horny, He literally wired you that way. Just don't get weird about it and we're good now. K?"
