Rob Rogers @Rob_Rogers Aug 22 Yes, President Trump actually said that the Smithsonian is focusing too much on “how bad slavery was” and he plans to set the record straight. Good people on both sides and all ... #Trump #Smithsonian #woke #racism #slavery #museum #RevisionistHistory #lies

"As we endeavor to survive a regime based on barrages of lies, truth should be even dearer to us; facts are part of our arsenal and what we are defending; accuracy and honesty and carefulness are essential ways of being the opposition."

"It’s unclear how Trump intends to positively spin slavery, the Wounded Knee Massacre, and the Japanese incarceration during World War II. There are great aspects of American history, but we don't become greater by whitewashing the truth about the low moments."

"Saying slavery was an atrocity and slave owners monstrously ran concentration camps from their pretty villas is only divisive if you’re a racist."

Historian Thomas Lecaque is responding to Trump's takeover of the Smithsonian and his fascistic determination to erase real history in order to create shiny, happy pseudo-history

He writes,

"I would never have learned the basic facts about the world that grounded me in objective reality for my entire life had it not been for the Smithsonian, and all the other museums around the Mall.

So "it’s fitting that the man who would be king is rewriting history in the Smithsonian to suit his alternate reality."

Jim Stewartson frames what Trump and the Republicans want to do with the Smithsonian (and with history itself) as "epistemological totalitarianism, or the seizure of the means of knowledge by the state."

He notes that he grew up outside DC, the son of a single mother. He was a poor student, but learned voraciously, often by visiting the Smithsonian.

"The past week has seen a dizzying bombardment of fake reports, propaganda and even pressure upon institutions to revise our history.

In the past few days alone, Trump replaced the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner with an unqualified Heritage Foundation hack. He brought in an 'expert' to lie about household incomes."

"Eugenic and nationalist imaginaries are retelling the same old stories of a favored 'race' with God-given superiority and the church’s blessing to steal land predestined to be colonized.

Joyce Vance notes that when Trump purchased a golf course in Virginia, he placed a plaque with made-up history at the site claiming that "great" soliders of both North and South died there:

"'Write your story the way you want to write it,' Trump told reporters who pressed him for any evidence to support the supposed history he attributed to the site.

Stunning! Proof that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it:

A revisionist view blaming Winston Churchill for WWII and downplaying Nazi atrocities is gaining traction in the U.S., especially among Trump’s MAGA base. Promoted on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson’s platforms, “amateur historian” Darryl Cooper claims Churchill was the “real villain” and that death camps were mere logistical failures, not genocide. Despite widespread condemnation, including from Yad Vashem and Biden’s White House, the controversial podcast’s popularity soared, with followers like VP JD Vance. Is this dangerous distortion reshaping history for political ends?

OK. It is time to debunk some oft-repeated #misinformation about #Socialism / #Marxism / #Communism. A common talking point you will hear from people with #rightwing #political views is that the #Nazis were not on the right; they were actually #leftists. To "prove" this claim, they will point out that the word " #Socialist " was part of the official name for the #NaziParty. The full name for the Party was the "National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party". Boom! Argument over! Right? Wrong. The claim that the Nazis were not on the #politicalright—that they were really on the #politicalleft—is a #RevisionistHistory" LIE. ⬇️

The inclusion of the term "Socialist" was actually a very #cynical ploy, meant to deceive #Germans into supporting the Party. You see, in the early 1900s, Socialism was skyrocketing in popularity with people around the world belonging to the #Proletariat (more commonly referred to as the #workingclass). Back then, the word "Socialism" did not have all the negative connotation it has now. To the average worker, "Socialism" was regarded warmly and was thought to be a pro-worker ideology (which it absolutely is, regardless of all the attempts to smear it). The Nazi Party very intentionally appropriated the term in an attempt to win the hearts and minds of working class Germans who maybe had not read the Marxist #literature but, through #CulturalOsmosis, had a vague notion that Socialism was good.

In reality, the Nazis were staunchly opposed to Socialism and its concept of working folks of all races, in all countries united in #solidarity with each other. REMEMBER, the Nazis were horrifically #racist! They wanted to conquer the world and rule over any "nonGermans" as #oppressors. This #racism and aspiration to conquer the world were in direct opposition with the principles of Marxism.

Quoted from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

"In September 1919, Hitler attended a meeting of one of these groups in Munich, the German Workers' Party. This small political organization sought to convert German workers away from Marxist Socialism. At the meeting, Hitler's public speaking skills attracted notice. He was recruited to a leading role.

In 1920, Hitler changed the Party's name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party. "National Socialism" was a racist and antisemitic political theory. It had been developed in Hitler's native Austria as the antithesis of Marxist Socialism and Communism. Marxists, for example, advocated for the global solidarity of the world's workers. They called for the abolition of nation states. National Socialists, however, sought to unify members of the German Volk in complete obedience to the state. They called for a strong state to lead the "master race" in the "racial struggle" against "inferior races," especially the Jews."

When a fact contradicts the will of fascists and their despotic leaders, that fact is simply deleted, rewritten, or covered up, and there are numerous examples of the fascist US despot Donald Trump doing precisely this. I present here one such example: a research paper showing evidence that immigrants have lower crime rates than the baseline non-immigrant population. This contradicts the Despot’s will that most crime is caused by illegal immigrants, and so the research is erased.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250121225514/https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/undocumented-immigrant-offending-rate-lower-us-born-citizen-rate

The fascist bloc of the US have been doing this for many decades now, it is just that since the despot seized absolute power a few months ago, the fascists have been more unabashedly rewriting history than they have ever before in my lifetime.

EDIT: I should say, this is the entire reason why the fascist despot defunded the NOAA organization. NOAA, in the natural course of doing their jobs predicting the weather, kept on discovering too much hard evidence that climate collapse is a real thing. Since the will of the despot is that climate collapse is false, the despot simply covers up the facts by firing the scientists who predict the weather.

Look, I’m in New York right now.

I’ve been out for the afternoon running various errands.

👉 In MAGA mythology, I should be afraid to leave my apartment.

It should be an urban hellscape where you get murdered if you try and buy a loaf of bread.

⭐️And the reality is New York is, in fact, one of the safest places in America.

But what will happen eventually is that
—I don’t quite know how it will work because crime data are initially supplied by local police agencies,
🆘 but the FBI summaries of that will probably be corrupted quite soon.

Just in general, if what we are actually going to be seeing is inflation,
quite a lot of inflation, we’re going to be seeing enormous pressure to report that,
first of all, things were worse.

💥The retrospective description of what America was like in 2024 is going to bear no resemblance to the actually pretty good state of the nation right now.

🔥Also, we’re going to be seeing a lot of pressure to not admit things that are going wrong.
