its so insane to me how people will maintain the perspective that occupying armies have to fight by carpet bombing villages and refugee camps because theyre dealing with an enemy that blends in with civilian populations and not realize or refuse to admit thats because theyre fighting civilians who are forced to take up arms against an occupying power

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

pros and cons of reading biographies of your fave historical figures

pros: you learn more about their personality, cute little details, acts of badassery, get to know history better, etc

cons: they all die in the end. they all fucking die. what the hell man. i didn’t sign up for this. every time i read someone’s bio it gradually becomes more sad near the end. i hate it. why did you die you piece of trash get up i said GET UP you’re not dead nah bro don’t give me that shit
