finally bothered to read about great man theory and I gotta say, that’s some pretty beta reasoning there

-
@aud 19th century "thinkers" were on some serious shit
-
@[email protected] weren’t they fucking just? Drugs and a looooot of patriarchy/racism.
-
@aud copying the homework of ancient Greek rationalists and changing it a little so the teacher doesn't notice (and also to make it more Roman and racist)
-
@aud my personal read on 19th century philosophy is that the bulk of it is just really cringey Rome cosplay
-
@[email protected] well, you just made me want to read it purely so I can also make more specific mockery of it. Because that is ridiculous and also basically modern manosphere shit to a t.
-
@aud that stupid thing is near trigger for me
firstly, because it _should_ be hypothesis, and if we can rewrite so much other history why not this?
secondly because it is such a self-evident pile of lols (cf. rewriting from point 1)
absolutely ridiculous shit, that's like catnip to the same kind of minds that will describe themselves in type1/type2 (or any other such popsci phrases) terms
-
@[email protected] seriously! I don’t know what I expected, but what an absolute fucking load of self serving garbage. It’s not a theory, it’s a free handjob.
-
@aud no, those can be nice
-
@[email protected] fair at least a handjob is honest about what’s going on.
