It's very difficult for people to discuss history objectively and instead, people tend to use as many fallacies as possible to make it seem like they've won the argument. They don't care about obtaining the truth, they only care that their position/side wins, and even when they are refuted (and they know they are refuted), they will ignore it and continue using more fallacies.

>>18469176Among true lovers and scholars of history, it isn’t. People are willing to change their mind quite often unless it’s a theory they have a particular amount of autism for or built their entire career around.The people you’re talking about were led to the study of history not because they enjoy learning about the human past or trying to understand it, but were usually led there first by some cultural, political, or journalistic reason. You can never get these people to see reason because they probably formed a conclusion about the topic before they even began to study it.

>>18469176>Why is it almost impossible for people to discuss about history objectively?unless you are white, or of fair complexion like the north east asians, then history is not but a litany of your people's failure to contribute anything of meaningful value to to humanity. So they lie, and try to appropriate the achievements of others in order to make themselves feel better about the past which only serves to set them up for further disappointment because now as then they are still incapable of doing anything but destroy civilization

>>18469176Because the world is a zero sum game and we are stuck having to fight for any material comforts or advantages over our opponents. History is just another battlefield where propaganda is used to either motivate or demoralise a population and with that change a nations trajectory. Just look at the modern West, it's filled with traitors that consistently attack its history, calling out the conquests the West did as evil. This is both demoralising the population and it has the effect of weakening societal connections, civil virtues and the common societal goods of people helping out their fellow citizens. Now we are all atomized and constantly attacked as evil and this is destroying the nation. Unironically the Ancient Egyptians had the correct interpretation of what history should be, an endless propaganda machine designed to empower the state and with that the people. They would say that they never lost a single battle in their entire history and that moralized the people. We need that today.
