Robert Maxwell's life story is just completely insane, its a picaresque novel, its like
the life stories of Cervantes or John Smith.

I mean I knew she was wrong 'un but that really is beyond the pale. Straight to the scaffold with her!

A history TikToker's viral claim that Ancient Rome 'didn't exist' is getting backlash from academics

It's not the first time @momllennial_ has made provocative history-themed videos. In one video posted in late October, she appeared to suggest that the name "Jesus Christ" could be translated to "clitoris healer." In June, she posted a TikTok where she appeared to speculate that Alexander the Great was actually a woman.

I think it's not how you do lots of things.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Clearly it is how you harvest some attention, however.

one down, one to go.

 

[Corpsey]

The rich/powerful getting away with noncing = merely the most route one outrageous crime they get away with on a daily basis.

One of the powerful aspects of Dante's inferno is the idea that if you could *see* in visceral form what sin looks like, you'd be properly repulsed by it.

In other words if corporate tax evasion and fraud looked like noncing, there'd be a mass uprising. But it looks like something boring and complicated and *possibly* excusable, even necessary, even virtuous.

 

[Corpsey]

Perhaps conspiracy theories can be partially understood in this light too -- the real, labyrinthine, tedious, paperwork borne conspiracies translated into lurid, emotionally exercising cartoon form.

 

[Corpsey]

Conspiracy theory -- the rich/powerful deliberately cultivate noncery and the covering up of it as a demoralising signal to the masses that they can't do anything about ANYTHING the lizard people do.
