The Cynical Historian

Parents often discuss the "terrible 2s." I suggest we call this decade the "terrible twenties"

Congrats to the GOP in accomplishing the seemingly impossible by making the United States of America a pariah nation and losing the competition with communist China in only a decade after we were the sole superpower

Everyone hated him in 1920. People nowadays learned why he sucks, rather than pretending that the 14 points speech did anything. I'm quite sure he destroyed his own legacy, so where am I in this?

Should I take credit for how people have turned against Woodrow Wilson?

It has a very clear stance on political violence and it delegitimizes pretty much everything people try to legitimize nowadays. So you will likely have to reexamine your preconceptions

jeez, this is gonna take a long time to edit. 1 hour about the American Revolution

Tenacious B

Every demagogue does

Cannot think of previous instances where the USA or any world power bombed the leader of foreign country like this. A blatant war crime, regardless of how bad the guy was, let alone bombing a girls' school while in-session, killing children - to distract from Epstein allegations

LOL, to borrow a phrase about three decades prior, "If you remember it, then you weren't really there"

Such scintillating rebuttals from reactionaries. Hopefully they finally suffocate from the farts they've been huffing for so many years and finally allow the world some peace

The 1st episode of Daily Wire's "Real History" series quotes well-known chud Simon Webb x4 times, even taking his YouTube channel as "real." See the kind of bigotry you must believe in order to act like Matt Walsh? Watch us go through this turgid garbage youtube.com/live/ypYtW33...

yikes. We were getting too tired of the BS to be that analytical. I encourage you to comment this on YouTube so that I can favorite it

They really be like, "No U!"

In two hours, commiserate with Mr. Beat and myself while we take a look at what the Daily Wire considers "real history." Their denialism bolsters MAGA's authoritarianism, so it's necessary to examine their propaganda. Here's the link: www.youtube.com/live/ypYtW33...

Here we go again

Maybe "public scholar" or "public intellectual" for more generalized terminology. Long before SciComm, there was public history which remains an important component of my profession. Those terms were common for non-historians doing similar things - such as Carl Sagan being regularly called both

If it's on YouTube, there's EduTuber. Dunno what word would apply elsewhere

They fight the Taliban every few years. Have been doing so since the 90s. There were even some fights while we were there

The Daily Wire is doing their own history denialism and we're gonna tackle on on Saturday at 1pm PST. @iammrbeat.bsky.social and I will watch the first episode live on both Twitch and YouTube. Be sure to join us youtube.com/live/ypYtW33...

And Trump has the audacity to lie incessantly about Democrat corruption when he's the most corrupt politician in our entire history. The craziest part is the amount of Americans who believe his projection

The name is a reference to one of the Pharisees. It's biblical

The first book any up and coming HistoryTuber should read is Kate Turabian's Manual for Writers

I basically only use Twitter to repost what I already post on Blue Sky and ban bigots. Bigotry fundamentally opposes history, so I very much enjoy banning bigots. Haha, get rekd losers

While I agree with the substance of this, there have certainly been previous instances of this. Matthew Lyon nearly died because of his persecution directed by John Adams

She's full grown now, right?
