Does history have an inherent left wing bias of recording and describing past events?

Given that liberals and academia have married each other since the birth of philosophy in western civilization, it would go towards a left wing bias.

user, I...

You have to be 18 to post here kiddo.

>liberals and academia have married each other since the birth of philosophy in western civilizatio
liberalism is an 18th century invention

>Given that liberals and academia have married each other since the birth of philosophy in western civilization, it would go towards a left wing bias.
>Most scholars and intelligent people are left-wing so probably.
>No, history is written by the winners. Though facts have a right-wing bias.
>Facts and reality have a liberal/left wing bias.

And people wonder why this board is so shit.

The general idea behind liberalism have existed more or less the same for thousands of years. The idea about equality and freedom is something thats plagued the western mind since Plato.

It's funny that since together with Plato's freedom and equality we have, censorship, socialism, nationalism and totalitarianism

Stop applying all these enlightenment spooks to a pre-modern society you faggots. This is a HISTORY board

Censorship/nationalism/totalitarianism are not liberal idea in either freedom or equality.

>Plato
>equailty and freedom
You do not know classical philosophy, friend. Equality was not even on the radar, and ancient Greek conceptions of freedom is nothing like 21st century American conceptions of freedom.

Have you read Plato's Republic? I suppose you don't... that's a book that describe a perfect society according to Plato, in the second chapter, were he describes what virtues are need for soldiers, the spend 4 pages talking about how important is censor about everything that would make soldiers coward, like drama or tragedy; in chapter four he describes how the government should centralize and take control of peasants and craftsman production, in the same chapter he describes how kids should be teach to be loyal to the polis more than anything, in chapter five he states how ideas and people that goes against the polis should be removed, in chapter two he says how children shouldn't be teach about things that would make they don't trust the polis...

>No, history is written by the winners
If this is true how did Germany got away with playing victim post WW1?

No kidding. The right sold it's soul to the Bushes and the evangelical voting block. It took the internet and fucking Veeky Forums to point out the blatant failures of the cuckservatives in reaching its' own aims.

The left has gone insane from victory on issues that are non-issues. It is not beautiful that an 8-year old child is "brave" enough to come out as trans. The previous sentence is a species of debasement that would've seemed impossible 15 years ago. Meanwhile China ex filtrated the background checks of virtually everyone in the US with a SECRET clearance and higher. The irony that it was done (or found out about) during OPM's LGBT month.

The left has gotten addicted to the taste of sugared words. Anything that might imply that a (non-monetary) difference of ability and valued is screeched against. You have lardasses regurgitating the moralism of obesity. And instead of good information, they're given self-esteem boosts by fellow morlocks.

As I've said in many threads, we'd rather squander trillions on conditions that would reasonably prevented by diet and exercise. But I'm not a moralist, that vampire of human cognition. The fatties could eat a diet of bacon, eggs, and coconut oil and lose weight faster than what official dogma prescribes. Sugar is a far far worse enemy of health than fat. The thing with eating mostly fat and protein is that you understand what "saitation" feels like. It's a feeling most Americans have probably never felt. You eat and then you can't eat anymore. But your stomach isn't "full". It's just that your system for regulating eating, and the hormone Leptin, isn't being cucked by massive amounts of carbs and insulin resistance. It'd also help if we ate 1-2 large meals a day so that the fasting state can actually activate and empty the garbage dumpsters of your body. So to speak.

But we'd like to spend trillions treating acute symptoms of conditions that, in retrospect, are almost weep-inducingly preventable.

German is commonly know as aggressor in a defensive war

Plato existed nearly 2500 years ago. The concepts have evolved over time to become more that what it was. However Plato's concept of equality still includes the basics principle of equality with regards to politics.

The Greeks had a concept about equality, that equals should be equals and unequal should be unequal.
For instance every free male should be treated equally, since they have the same amount of capacity and virtue, slaves and women should be treated as inferior, since they have less capacity and virtue. People with exceptional capacity, like Heroes or athletes should be treated as superiors.
That's the Greek equality.

>The concepts have evolved
no, they are different interpretations of the ideological concepts freedom and equality. With different end goals, values and metaphysics. American liberalism did not “evolve” from Hellenism.

This is the only acceptable answer.

>if I keep saying this it's real
Absolute Bolshevism.

In fact, the modern ideology that most resemble the Hellenic is Fascism.

Lmao dude I didn't say anything about the Republic, and yes I have read it. Holy shit every time somebody brings that book up on this board it just turns into, WELL I READ THE REPUBLIC HAVE YOU? I'M GUESSING NOT. Cool dude you read Plato's Republic congratulations. Again:
>freedom and equality we have, censorship, socialism, nationalism and totalitarianism
Nice enlightenment spooks. Unless you think sign and signified are the same and universal (in which case you are retarded), these terms are post-enlightenment constructions, and while you're free to interpret Plato's Republic as reflecting them it's disingenuous to retroactively apply them to his work. It's much better (especially in the field of history) to use the author's own historically specific terms.

>Literally half of Plato's writing are enlightenment spooks now
Good revisionism my friend.

>Greeks talk in favor of freedom and equality
Classic philosophies clearly support freedom and equality
>Greeks talk in favor of censorship, state owned mean of production, nationalism and eugenics
They clearly didn't wanted to mean this, implying that they support this things is and enlightenment spook

Lol

Is this bait?
