NYT ESPECIALLY LERER HAS TURNED KEY TERMS INTO THEIR OPPOSITES REVISIONISM CANCEL CULTURE

The NYT has written the book since WWI on what I and other revisionist historians call Whig history, history understood and told from the point of view of the present, usually the point of view of the so called winners of history,  not the facts or issues of the past as they actually were or were known or believed to be at the time in the past.

Revisionism means the opposite of Whig history.

Republicanism is merely rightist libertarian Whiggism, not the kind of revisionism I have referred to here.

Similarly there is left Whig history, the kind DK also decries, coming from the NYT quite often, the Left Whig account of slavery in The 1619 as basically the American Story, for example.

Both Right and Left Whiggism are expressions of what I call, and DK calls, postmodernism, but we differ on the scope and meaning of the term, and how it connects to the modernism and liberalism that has gone before.

You been queered both by the NYT as well as the Right media:

Warzel carries the terminological guerilla disorientation Bizarro Alternative Universe wars forward in such a way that you do not know which end is up anymore in terms of gender orientation belief feelings thoughts reasoning, are deeply disoriented, don't know whom to believe, what, why to believe anything, but want to believe the NYT.
