Is history irremediably corrupted?

Yes, it's called academical discipline of History.

You're being the retard here, anon.

Well, isn't it a discipline that evolved a lot and continues to do so, after people realized that there was something fundamentally wrong in the way we learn history? In the end if you're a researcher, it will take you years of effort to remove the first layer of bullshit, before going to sources that are not necessarily lying, but are still (((rarely))) objective. While you did this effort to access to a "maybe", 10000 idiots will scream a lie louder than you, and won't concern about its legitimacy.

In the end, for who do we probe history?

When you put yourself in a bubble where there are no consequences for being and idiot and saying idiotic things, this tends to happen.

>>3264352
how would you enforce consequences for saying stupid things?

>>3264360
If you truly want to make a difference, try to think of ways to combat causes, not effects.

>>3264386
what would be the cause then?

>>3264404
The currently accepted social norm for "normal" way of life.
Not even going to bother to list everything, because it basically is everything, from politics through academia to media and everyday life itself.
Everything is fucked and the more fucked it is, the more apathetic and cynical people become. Western civilization collapse is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

>>3264294
Just look at any controversial wikipedia article. The loudest side always wins.

>>3264446
Then why would you prone combating the causes, since they appear overwhelmingly unfightable

>>3264306
Academia is completely controlled by radical political ideologues. History is being destroyed and rewritten in service of their agenda.

Because putting out fires while retard runs around with matches and gasoline and other retards are constantly joining in, is an exercise in futility to the T.

The task might seem gargantuan, but it's NOT downright Sisyphean, compared to the alternative.

Trying to heal rotten society through inspiration and encouragement will net you better results, than trying to go "oh oh oh, ACKCHYUALLY, it's not like that!" at every single imbecile produced by that society, who remembers something wrong.
