[_] Historical Revisionism Anonymous 05/23/14(Fri)13:49 No.2393182

  Yeah, it's pretty much like that.

Marked for deletion (old).

  This term makes no sense. Revision is what historians do. This is how we get history: by looking
  over the evidence, and looking for new evidence, and interpreting it with cooler heads as we're
  further separated from the events being studied.

  It would be a sad sort of historian who only collected newspaper articles, and other contemporary
  accounts, and assumed they were all honest and accurate, or as close to the truth as anyone could
  ever get.

  There needs to be a better term for politically-motivated distortion of history than "historical
  revisionism".

  It's just a frog sitting by the box?
  I don't get it

  I understand what you are trying to say (and agree regarding professional historians), but it is
  largely a naive argument over semantic and political correctness. Despite the misnomer, the term
  makes enough sense that you were able to understand the intended usage. So the term is quite apt.
  I could readily call it "negationism" or "Lost Cause (of the confederacy)", but lose
  comprehension in pursuit of accuracy.

  The other part which I find naive is the assumption that negative historical revisionism is rare
  and isolated to the far corners of the earth by the most radical movements. When in fact, it is
  occurring more regularly than you may think. Religious and ultraconservative lobbies find ways to
  pack the jury when it comes to things like schoolboard committees on curriculum and textbooks
  which are distributed nationwide. Industrial and financial lobbies do the same, not so much in
  the Humanities sense, but in statistics and economics: they manage to get their likeminded
  employees hired in ivy league colleges to propagate their narrative. See "The Revisionaries" and
  "Inside Job" if you haven't already.

  And lastly, revisionism is not a practice that is limited to academics. It was and is performed
  by political leaders and a nation-state's media, arguably more effectively than the academics,
  because of the former's ready access to a popular audience. Don't believe me? Think back on an
  event that is remembered differently, or any misquote that keeps getting repeated, or an iconic
  picture which is actually doctored. You repeat something enough and people will believe it. And
  as they say, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants
  on."

  The reality is, historical revisionism has more potential as a political tool than it does
  sitting on the shelves of scholars. Remember, we do not live in an unbiased world.
