Simplistic, but marginalized narratives were also burned in big bonfires at times, as well.
Sorry I don’t follow. I think we agree that if nobody survives or people are forced to exist in a hostile culture it’s harder for them to propagate their stories.
But if we go too far we ignore the work of the brilliant people who did manage to preserve their account of events. From Indian perspectives on Indian war of independence vs Sepoy Uprising, to native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, Maori people and so on fighting generational struggles to preserve their recounting of events and be acknowledged.
Show me where I said all marginalized narratives were burned.
But also, some WERE burned. Lost to history. Gone. As if they never happened.
I didn’t say that you thought that and I definitely don’t mean to. Are you having a bad day or something? is this a cross cultural communication issue?
All I’m saying is that history being written by the victors is a bit simplistic and not very interesting in terms of how to understand history. If you’re interested in history I would have thought you’d be keen to look at examples of narratives that refute that popular trope. I meant no offense.
I don’t really know why you replied to my comment with that, nor why you’re being hostile right now
