Some people use history as a cope

[911]

There is nothing wrong with being proud of your history. Laakin i think some people use history as a cope. Particularly white nationalists but I have seen it in other groups. They lack personal achievments in life so they have to hold on to the past and achievments of their ancestors to feel superior. They are stuck in history. Do you guys agree?

Majority of white supremacist are unaccomplished trailer park filth that grew up getting bullied that’s why they gotta brag about belonging to the same race as people who accomplished things that they’ll never come close to accomplishing

People study history to learn from the past as human nature is still the same.

But I guess you have a point, some groups of people do abuse it.

If you're hustling and making moves, your people and pride are definitely not on your mind. Major facts.

So much we gloat about is just a complete accident of nature.

That's one way, a very one dimensional way, of looking at it. We live in the age of the atomised individual. Humans are designed to be connected to their in group. This has always been their genetic kin, their extended family ie their clan, tribe and village. The stories we learn as kids used to revolve around real people we're descended from. Or at the very least share an identity with. The idea the blood in your veins has lived before, 100s of lives and their collective memory that was passed down so you can make sense of the world. Those timeless tales is what history was. Not facts we memorise to pass an exam.

And looking at their history, f*ck yh they're proud. They conquered and explored the world. They went to the corners of the earth and reached the stars. They fought and squabbled amongst themselves for thousands of years. They have thousands of Ahmed Gureys.

Not really. They are just clinging to their identify and what they value. They are no different from YOU who love Somalia despite Somalia not giving u any reason to love it. U just do ma ha?

But with Whites, the nostalgia is only more, because they actually have written words to read on. Ground breaking documents like constitution to ruminate over.

The crappier your history the more you use it as a cope.

I doubt white supremacists are the type to actually pick up and read a history book. If they did, they wouldn’t be white supremacists.

Actually I found that right wingers tend to be more knowledgeable about history while progressives are totally clueless about anything that happened before the civil rights movement.

Not talking about those hillbillies up in the mountains in West Virginia but modern conservatives.

Any rational cadaan should be racists asf.

I’m not inclined to believe your anecdotes on right wingers being knowledgable if you hold views like that.
