Somebody’s DRUNK

[Torque’sHeadBump]

There's a bunch that get appointed through favoritism and diversity policies but thankfully they're usually limited to modern history and the cultural realm at that. You need some actual skills to do any worthwhile research of premodern history or more technical matters, and these types tend to lack them and aren't interested in those subjects much anyway. They're busy combing through 19th century work songs for signs of a gay black community or whatever while the actual researchers are left to do their own thing.

Fair enough and I agree, but as someone who may or may not be in that field (don’t look up medieval historians in Wisconsin, child), there’s some insane shit going in premodern historical research.

However, I think you’re right. Those types tend to go into “Medievalism”, which is pretty much an academic way of saying “I suck at learning the required languages for actual historical research into the Middle Ages.”

I don't doubt it, a lot of the silliness does seem to come primarily from American faculties. I did a search on a catalog for "medieval" and "from: University of California" to have a loff and it was a list of the most woke garbage you could imagine. Tertiary 'research' about complete nonsense, a lot of them felt like parodies.

Yeah, and they're definitely not respected by the guys and gals who do the heavy lifting. It's not like you need to be fluent in Medieval Latin if there's a sizeable body of vernacular literature to work with, but if you can't even transcribe that stuff then I'm not sure why the fuck you're even in the field to begin with, let alone try to provide 'critical' new insights. It's a joke and everyone but them knows it.

Yeah, it is primarily American academics. They’re like the bro joes of the field lol

Are you @AnOminous? That's what I've been told but I try to be nice to kiwis. Someone else said you were @Sexy Senior Citizen but again, no hard proof.

What's the joke behind Terry? Is it Terry Clifford? Can you tell me who Terry Clifford is, kiwi?

Can you tell us what oldb0yz is referencing?

I never want to go "hurr durr Americans dumb, can't do X" because I think it's trite, gay and usually incorrect, but I can't help but think you guys are dealt a shit hand when it comes to this kind of stuff. Trying to do premodern historical research in an overwhelmingly monolingual country, with all the premodern primary sources located on another fucking continent can't be easy. It's like trying to become a marine biologist in a landlocked country with no aquariums.

This is just going to be a list of the people with the most posts though essentially. I'd need a way to weight (heh...) these vs the number of posts they have. I suck at stats though. There's a few ways to slice the data. It could be something like percentage of the rib giver's total ribs. The inverse also makes sense. A percentage of all ribs received were from X user.

Another way could be as a function of their total posts as I mentioned. This seems to intuitively be right, but as I said I'm bad at stats.

There’s some very talented ones who do it, but they’re a minority. Lots of the sources were edited and published by legit scholars back in the 19th century, so it’s not even an issue of accessibility anymore. It’s just laziness when it comes to actually engaging with the material. There are some faggots who legit “don’t believe in citing 19th century historians because they were nationalists.” Imagine being a “medieval historian” and making it a point to avoid 19th century scholarship / source editions. That pretty much removes the entire Monumenta Germaniae Historica…

That's hilariously stupid. Literally "If Carl Benz was a racist, would you stop driving cars?" level.

Jesus.

That reminds me of a dumbass NG article I skimmed recently. "No, child, Medieval Europe was a racially diverse place. Archeologists unearthed 44 graves in a plot in London and discovered that two individuals had some African ancestry."

Sooo... 4% of the inhabitants of a major trading port were Cumias? In a time where 80+% of the population lived rurally? So extrapolating those numbahs, you're looking at a real "mixed race" population of maybe 0,8% of the total.

By these standards, Japan is a multiracial paradise. Or North Korea for that matter, they must have some honkies locked away somewhere.

Or that shit with Cambridge saying that the Anglo-Saxons didn't exist, because white supremacists think otherwise.

I think some lunatic student there even tried to get a lecturer fired because he was giving courses on the Anglo-Saxon and Viking history and that in itself was promoting white nationalism somehow. I don't think that went anywhere, thankfully.
