re: #132 EPR-radar

So, you actually have a clown on Twitter who is arguing that the US civil war was not fought over the issue of slavery?

This would seem to be the equivalent of young earth creationism for history —- i.e., a synthesis of all possible stupidity into a single thesis.

I have had it happen in real life. I know NJ residents who swear-to-Christ call it the War of Northern Aggression. The amount of revisionism of the Civil War among conservatives/Republicans is horrifying.

I mean, shit, they’ve tried to re-write public school textbooks in Texas to reflect their fucked up view of American history. Twitter’s a playground built for reality denialists.
