Does there, in truth, exist a "right side of history"?

Only temporarily. What's considered the wrong side historically may just as well be seen as the right side in a century or two.

No. Right and wrong don't exist, morality is a social cosntruct.

The "right side of history" is just a battle cry used by moral fascists to convince everyone that their cultural victory is inevitable. I call it a battle cry because it's only ever used to condemn others or reassure their own that they are correct.

this.

By looking at it through modern values, we can say that there are. But as another anon said, contemporary values are fickle in the grand scheme of things.

Morals are just opinions based on emotion and custom.

Wie es eigentlich gewesen, so no.

There was a time where Napoleon was on the wrong side of History.
And Augustus.

Technological progress
Maybe personal freedom, but who knows.

Generally things like starvation and extinction isn't good

This. Enlightenment and Victorian Era Europeans thought they were on the right side of history and now they're lambasted for being condescending arrogant racists. The same will happen to the big thinkers and scholars of our time. It doesn't matter anyways, after enough centuries have passed all that matters to historians is what you actually contributed to society, not how mean your views were, that is if you're even remembered at all.

>>445802
Yes.

Everything opposed to Whig historiography is wrong.

Doesn't make morality any less real

Whichever side is more beneficial towards humanity. If one side wants to exterminate millions of people, and the other side doesn't, then the second side is better.

Genghis Khan is seen as a hero nowadays because of the economic benefits he brought in spite of the millions killed because of him.

Absolutely not and the people that use that phrase are usually the biggest cretins ever, but can we stop having this thread please? If this is going to become a constant thing at least include funny screencaps of people being BTFO for saying it or cringe material.

What's really funny is how critical theorists try to lambast them for that right now

60 years ago, everyone agreed, wether they supported it or even if they opposed it, that Soviet communism was the way of the future.
