I find most of the folks espousing "nuance" and "narrative" are, in the end, really just arguing against positions they don't agree with using high brow language. Case in point would be to point them to David Irving's work on holocaust history and watch them flee from "nuance" and back to "truth".
- olavk 8y agoDo you think that "nuance" means that everything is equally true? I think that is a strawman. Holocaust deniers are factually wrong just like flat-earthers. Understanding that there is no single concise objectively true narrative of history is not the same as having to believe that the pyramids were built by aliens.
