Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules

Also, maybe white identity is kind of fucked as a concept to begin with? (media.piefed.social)

I fundamentally disagree with you. The notion that all history is nothing more than a narrative that is inherently political is absurdly reductive and that's one of the tenants of CRT by which I can't take it seriously.

I mean, look you don't believe in Enlighment values, cool. Other people still do. Not everyone thinks the world is purely subjective. Subjectivity is something we can shed through education and practice.

From where you stand what I'm saying seems totally absurd, I have no doubt. Because I am well aware they don't educate with enlightenment values anymore and even when I was doing my undergrad/grad work it was 'old school' to think that way and the 'new school' was the pure subjectivity assumption.

... the idea that you can make a narrative about the past without a political lens is absurdly reductive of our past.

and that’s one of the tenants of CRT.

what

I mean, look you don’t believe in Enlighment values, cool. Other people still do.

... Enlightenment values are, themselves, political, not innate. Or do you think that humanity was born in the 17th century AD? And who the fuck said I didn't believe in Enlightenment values? Have you ever read any of the great authors of the Enlightenment?
