Post hoc rationalization.

The polarization-radicalisation idea I'm pretty sure is also theoretical bunk pointing at the symptom itself as the cause.

Far left and far right energies emerge and grow due to underlying social issues. The far right doesn't grow because the far left confronts them. It's literally the opposite. The far right grows from confronting the far left and vice versa.

Street fighting is agitprop theater with violence.

They will always find a way regardless.

Zuckerberg literally lives his life like Patrick Bateman but with an added fetishization of Augustus Caesar to the point of cutting his hair like him and naming his daughter after him.

Zuckerberg has a file on the anatomy of every human being he may come in contact with. Mark Zuckerberg hones his body and mind every day because he believes it will be vital for when he is called upon to dismantle the institutions of the United States and remodel the nation in the image of Rome under Augustus.

Reminded as I was considering making a more "positive" video on my favorite history creators on Youtube, it'd inevitably spark criticism due to mistakes they make and so on.

Making mistakes when working with history is inevitable, recognizing them is part of being a historian. Criticism of you is always going to be harsh from certain people, but my criticism from the perspective of what really amounts to an amateur historian is always going to be a LOT softer if you're humble.

Monument to the "Osvald group" outside Oslo central station. Communist partisans who were sidelined in the post-war narrative.

Monument bears the quote by Å. Sunde: "It was worth it to fight for liberty - for all countries, for all races, for all classes and for all mankind."

Åsbjørn Sunde led the saboteurs under his cover name "Osvald." They were the first, and most active non-military organized partisan group in the Norwegian resistance of WW2.
