If you can’t tell I’m mad at Phipps, not the person who quote retweeted her.
I would go into a tangent about how upsetting this sort of thing is for me but just know I’m a historian myself and hate people like Phipps working in the field. Shit hurts to see
It’s pretty scary that even people who are supposed to be knowledgeable about history get duped by the press. Even when the information is readily available like, anyone can just Google news about Ukraine and set their search parameters to exclude results from 2022 to see that the popular narrative surrounding this war is unfounded. And you would expect historians to research history when analyzing a war…
But that takes effort ): (sarcasm). But fr through, a lot of academia historians are lazy as they could be. Who cares if people suffer from the lies they tell? To them getting public approval matters more than telling the truth.
