Like what? Do you mean like should we or shouldn't we enslave people to build the Pyramids? Is that what you mean? Like, that's just how it was back then and so its like, okay? So like, that's just how it is now days, so like, whatever Dang is doing with this is like, morally alright? Put a bow on this for me.

If someone came up to you and said “I supported X side in the hundred years between England and France” 1) are they on the wrong or right side of history? 2) would anyone in 2025 have their moral sensibilities hurt?

  People would struggle to answer because "which side do you support in the hundred years war" is the wrong question. A better question would be "do you support the social structures (e.g. nationalism, monarchy, etc.) that contributed to the hundred years war". Or stated another way, the premise implied by your question is incorrect. Its perfectly possible that both England and France were on the wrong side of history.

    No. because the issues that France and England fought over do not serve any modern day political purpose. Nobody can use them to fuel their cause. But the idea that it’s due to “nationalism” still does which is why you are able to confidently boil down a hundred years into one word. And once again, not me the absence of emotion. Saying “they’re both right” or “they’re both wrong” elicits nothing.

      Can you boil down the Inquisition into one word? I'm confused, so you found an example that works for you and then like, our examples are not workable I guess? I'm very open to you being brilliant with an incredible thesis at hand, but like, seriously give me your thesis - what the are you talking about?

  Dude, okay, so let's enter your Pokemon gym: Your rules: 1) I cannot use my sensibility to look at the last 200 years (huh? okay.) 2) I need to now make sense of geopolitical beef between England and France around 1300. 3) Then I need to tie this all back to how this all leads to not be being able to determine, morally, what's going on today. Are these the rules to becoming the pokemon master in your gym? I'll continue if I have all the rules down. I'm excited to attend your world class mental gym and get the greatest of all mental gymnastics training.
