"History will judge them harshly."
Do you really think that matters to them? They'll be long gone when History--which can't judge anything, it can only be recorded and people learn/remember what took place--"judges" them.
And it'll be too late by then anyway. And they don't care. At all.
Can we maybe choose a different phrase? Like, say, "These vile fascists are total assholes who are destroying democracy and need to be stopped STAT"? How's that?
You're welcome. #ImPissed THREAD🪡 1/…

100% right.
These authoritarians want complete control and expect to write the textbooks. They are *not* concerned about history.
@TCatInReality Thanks! Plus, "History" doesn't "judge" anything. History is not a person.
People use that phrase lazily and it drives me nuts. If you want to say that people will be seen as the schmucks they are, say it. Don't lay it on inanimate "History."
@GottaLaff
I agree.
Just like they're not afraid of "the law" because they expect to write the laws.
The public needs to understand that " history" and "law" are not immutable, neutral facts. They are an exercise in power - and we must take greater care with who we invest with that power.
