I'm so sick of Marxist history that rewrites reality and strawmans the circumstances behind the war.

'White man is the root of all evil and is to blame for all your problems!', is now the common doctrine, it's no wonder that we're in the midst of entering another civil war meanwhile racial tension is on a high.

Fuck these liars, thieves and murderers.

Fuck communists

It is so cultural Marxism. It was taught semi-okay when I was growing up but still unfortunately got the PC gloss-over. Luckily one of my best friends at the time was an uber military nerd and his dad was like a wacky libertarian sci-fi author. So I have been aware of this bias and slant since I was pretty young.

The whole "evil white man" narrative doesn't even pass muster b/c obviously whites were involved in the eventual freeing of the slaves. In all honesty, in a way what kind of offends me is that Civil War history isn't even black history at all, it only had an effect on black history. Just like one wouldn't say that WW2 is a part of North or South Korean history per se.

I think of my own relative from PA who fought at Gettysburg and can't help but wonder if he had cousins, friends, etc. who fought on the other side. Also, I refuse to accept that had my great-great-great whatever lived 50 miles to the south that he was some kind of monster.

It's just all so damn glib.
