I’m not demonising your ancestors.
Let’s just deal honestly with the irrefutable facts.
It’s got to be either that or to be in denial.
Judging past events or people through the lens of modern-day moral standards, values, and perspectives is a historical fallacy called…
[blah, blah, blah]
…It assumes people in the past had the same information, options, and moral frameworks as we do today, often ignoring …
[blah, blah, blah]
No it doesn’t necessarily do that.
It is perfectly possible to ask factual questions about the past WITHOUT applying modern moral judgements upon the answers.
So… Nah! That’s just a dodge… presumably from a subliminal motive of denial.
Someone’s filled your head with self-justifying avoidance arguments, bro.
E.g.
Q. How many women were burned as witches in Europe and North America between 1500 and 1750?

”But, but, but… you can’t ask that as that would be to judge past events through the lens of modern-day moral standards, values, and perspectives.”
Yeah you can ask that. You’ve been brainwashed EofZ.
E.g.
Q. How many native, indigenous, ‘brown’ people died due to famines in India during the period called ‘the British Raj’?
Q. How many invader/coloniser white’ people died in India due to famine during the same period?
Q. Why has there never been a famine in India since they gained Independence from Britain in 1948?
eofz:
”But you can’t ask that either, as the question is a historical fallacy which assumes people in the past had the same information, options, and moral frameworks as we do today…”
No. It doesn’t. It’s just asking simple questions. There’s nothing wrong with the questions. Its just that certain people do not like the raw data for various reasons.
