“The nation state aims to bind massive numbers of people in a territory together with myths of common cause, culture, and patriotism. This allows a single government to extract much more revenue and build much bigger armies. And this large scale government rose with the industrial era, because countries required large scale armies to defend the industrial production in a given area.”

This Gen Z writer pretends to know something about history and extrapolate future events from it.

But he knows nothing, and is ignorant of any real history.

And we have a bunch of freepers eating it up becaus3e they don’t know history either.

It is both sad, and worthy of ridicule.

99% of the time I read someone saying something along the lines of “History teaches....” I can be assured I will hear both terrible ‘history’ and execrable ‘teaching’.

Complex events have complex causes. While Truman was right in saying “The only thing new is the history you don’t already know”, that more refers to analysis than prediction.

Ridicule is the lazy man's argument. How about you actually refute it?
