This is how broken our society has become. One of the best and most eloquent historians of our generation has to qualify *what is* "'revisionist history'" because changing one's opinions based upon new data is somehow "weak" and thus "leftist" hence "communist" and therefore "woke." #stupidesttimmes

Please stop using “revisionist history” as a stand-in for falsehoods.
Any worthwhile work of history uses untapped sources, novel methodologies and/or new connections across fields to improve, alter and, yes, revise our understanding of history.
Truly revisionist history is a *good* thing.
