Sometimes I find myself pulling pages of reliable primary and secondary sources to combat a position and support my position in a tiktok comment section about history only for me to remember I’m spending $200k and dedicating a fuck ton of time and pressure to ultimately go into a career dedicated to history and I kind of just sigh and remind myself I deserve better

#this is inspired by a comment I left saying how the majority of arguments that are for dropping the bombs by Hiroshima and Nagasaki are #prepaganda by the west #and a few people were not very happy with me #my guy #I spent $15k last semester to take a class on atomic power that spent probably half the semester on the bombing #I got 100% in it #I know what I’m talking about #also dealing with a few people who are defending the iron cross as not a Nazi symbol since it was used before then #it doesn’t make sense in the context of the tiktok but whatever #my favorite thing to reply is how I’m writing my thesis about the Nazi army which includes the history of the German army up until then but #thanks for the advice of looking into it more #it’s a white lie #my thesis is on the Battle of Stalingrad but I know the history behind the iron cross I just have more oomf when thesis is said #don’t even get me started on how it’s wrong to compare dictators #StALiN aNd MaO kiLLeD wAy mOrE tHaN hiTLeR wHy DoEs No OnE eVeR tALk AbOuT tHeM #first off #a fuck ton of people talk about all dictators you just don’t read or research #second it is so fucking disrespectful and insulting to compare genocides and ‘worse’ dictators to live under #you can compare and contrast that’s cool #but ranking how bad they are compared to one another #get a life #rae’s rambles
