Ed Driscoll frequently makes some pretty sound observations, but Everything You Know About the 20th Century is Wrong struck me as twaddle, especially since each of his cherry-picked examples of what I (he did say “you,” didn’t he, and aren’t I, as the reader a part of the “you”?) know about the 20th Century that is wrong held no news for me, since I was well-aware of the facts of those examples long, long before he sought to “correct” my views.
Now, while many, if not most, might hold false memes about the cherry-picked examples Driscoll cites, perhaps even most folks, “you” is far too sweeping a generalization and shows that Driscoll, at least, holds some false views of his own.
Just sayin’.
