Lol isn't a peoples history an attempt to highlight and bring forth marginalized stories and histories that are largely left out of mainstream historical revisionist texts that focus on the 'winners'?
I feel like a patriots history would just be a boring retelling of the history we were taught in middle school (native Americans had a lovely supper with colonists etc)
Right it's not some radical book. It's just telling stories we like to conveniently ignore. The book is facts. The only criticisms I see from the right are that a) it's not true (which is made by chuds who just don't know history at all), or b) it's bad because it only "focuses on the bad" and trying to portray America as bad. No thought given to whether America actually is bad, because we just have to assume that and not question it....
Well they rationalize the Leftists critique as revisionism (I've seen them using that phrasing). I know historians don't think a People's History is a great historical text cause it only focuses on one side, but... that's kind of he point haha.
The chuds are too lost in the sauce to do anything remotely close to critiquing America's actions

Right, they say "revisionism" but to them that really means it's something that challenges what they believe but they don't want to think about it.
