i like tumblr because occasionally i’ll be recommended a 12 year old post that depicts something so absolutely my shit that it makes me believe in art again
History is written by the people who write stuff down.
The people who write stuff down usually work for those who won.
Sometimes people who win either don’t know how to read or don’t care about reading. Vikings sure won a lot of battles but nobody knows what they thought about it.
Also lately every time people try to tell me that history is written by the victors, I think about the Vietnam war. The US lost that war, but if you’re an American, when was the last time you heard a Vietnamese perspective on that war?
History is written by people who write stuff down and the narratives around history are made by the perspectives you’re exposed to.
Also, think about it. The soviets lost the Cold War but you can still read what people from former soviet countries think about that whole thing. Some of them are on tumblr right now making blog posts. Just because you don’t read something doesn’t mean it isn’t being written.
Have you ever taken a look at some of those ancient Egyptian battle carvings? The ones with the pharaohs looking giant in their chariots? A lot of those depict the pharaoh in question winning the battle decisively when in fact there’s evidence that they lost. Sometimes quite badly.
