New Walsh drop on American Indian history.

Manny years ago I was told that the Cherokee chief that signed the relocation deal with Andrew Jackson was a mix race man that had duel loyalties with the US government. And that was used as an example of why you shouldn't trust mix race people in a position of power.

Historical revisionism at a master class.

With the Indian Removal, he never even examines why it happened, or what it signified. He merely uses primary sources unquestionably as an argument to “how it isn’t that bad” with any Native voices after the fact being basically just Antifa “professional agitators”.

This is basically just a White Buck Breaking series, even down to the visual style

Don't let anyone guilt trip you or shame you for being White.

Totally not insane position. I wonder what he thinks of Palestinian activists being arrested in the UK in Australia for hate speech for their opinions about Israel I'm sure he's a big fan of that.

Now, I haven't brought myself to watch Matt Walsh, so I may be completely off here, but is his argument that it wasn't justifiable or that it wasn't bad for the Amerindians? Those are two different things. If he's saying that everything was sunshine and rainbows, then sure, have his head, but if he's pointing out that the United States government usually treated the Amerindians with more dignity than they usually treated each other, then there's a discussion to be had.

Also complaining about historical revisionism is absurd. History is constantly being revised because information is constantly being discovered, rediscovered, reinterpreted, or reappraised. Revisionism is the closest thing approaching the scientific method in regards to historiography; the narratives that are being revised were themselves revisions of older narratives. Historiography did not stop with Howard Zinn.

Howard Zinn doesn't did a single shit about historical revisionism and will push any bullshit to demonize America. He literally cited David Irving for the number of causalities in the bombing of Dresden.

Even if you disagree with Irving's takes on the Holocaust, his Dresden book is very well researched, since he used documents that were found by himself in the archives.
