Critical Theory of Post-1900 History

The application of Critical Theory to history after 1900—examining how recent history is constructed, how it serves contemporary politics, and what's at stake in its telling. Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: Who writes the history of the recent past? How do contemporary power relations shape what's remembered and what's forgotten? How are histories of trauma, revolution, and resistance told—and by whom? Drawing on memory studies and critical historiography, it insists that post-1900 history is never just the past—it's the present arguing about itself through stories of what just happened.

"We know what happened, we were there, they say. Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: do we? Memory is selective, contested. The same events are remembered differently by victors and victims. Post-1900 history isn't settled; it's fought over. Critical theory insists on asking: whose memory counts, and whose is erased—and what does that tell us about power today?"

You're A Slave to History

A term used by individuals who are malding in order to project their own problems and actions onto others.

You're A Slave to History. Even after calamity, you fight against the only order that can guarantee the safety of your people. You, solely are responsible for this.

The most extensive and inclusive voter fraud operation in the history of the presidency

Joe Biden's EXACT WORDS!

Hym "I don't know how you guys didn't find and clip that immediately! Your excuse likely ✌️✊️✌️social cohesion✌️✊️✌️ or something. I mean, you make things so much harder than the have to be. Watch this, here's this: 'Why do people think the election was stolen?' And then the other guy shows the clip of Biden saying 'We have created the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud operation in the history of the presidency' and then people are like 'But there isn't any evidence' and it's like 'what evidence would there be?' And all of this is irrelevant because I TOLD YOU not to shut down the country. I said it explicitly! I told you not to do it AND what would happen. You didn't listen. Now look at everything. Terrible. Bad job."
