rgr-pop: SPEAKING of, more or less: this conversation is obnoxious top to bottom and full top to bottom of obnoxious actors but it is great evidence for the argument that all historical claim-making contains the potential for counterfactual or, more importantly, the potential for some freak dumbass white guy to accuse you of counterfactual for saying, perhaps capitalism is bad. as i learned from a historian who gets called a “determinist” for talking too much about banks: name your counterfactual, and be not ashamed don’t know if you know already but probably not bc “obnoxious” is way way waaaay underselling the fact pseudoerasmus is literally a proponent of scientific racism and the way he still gets a hearing with some of these ppl (there’s no way they don’t know this!!) is SUCH an indictment of their motivations and the milieu in general -- source link
