There seems to never be an end to the barrage of people who need to re-write history to accord with their own ideology.
But here we are again.
And it takes a pretty admirable determination to patiently, over and over, unpack the lies and the rhetorical sleights of hand. So a big thanks to Lachlan Peters for doing it. #denialism #ideology #cambodia

Whether it is white supremacists denying the evils of slavery, Holocaust deniers, Russians whitewashing Stalin or those trying to downplay the murderous waves of Mao's policies, I find the sin of rewriting history to serve ideology is maybe the worst intellectual sin of all time. Mostly because it unforgivably ignores the testimony of lived experience. That, to me, is beyond contempt.
