Sweet: we can't judge historical figures completely by modern standards.

Wokeists:

Important point. You can’t help but view history from your own perspective, but you’ll never understand it unless you push yourself to see events as the people involved in them would have seen them. You can look for people in that time whose views correspond to our modern perspective, you may or may not find them. If you do, it’s useful to ask why these people saw what others of their time did not. And to notice if they were respected, or ignored, or persecuted, and why.

Sweet! Some logic still exists in American academia. (I wonder how long he’ll last...)

I wonder what the wokeists’ judgment is of ‘buffalo jumps’ by Native Americans - or if they extend their lazy judgmentalism to the other sometimes gruesome habits of primitive cultures...human sacrifice, cannibalism, ownership and debasement of females...

Well at least they didn’t beat him half to death or to death like they did in Mao’s China.

We are so screwed.

All these historians must never have joined the Debate Club in school. They cave immediately.
