The last thing I want to do is engage with you, but let’s talk this out.

I said to the victor goes the spoils.

He said, “simplistic, a lot of conquered people told their stories.”

I said, “I never said they didn’t, but a lot of those stories were lost because conquerors are particular about their narratives.”

And that’s really it. I’m not at work now, so the language is a little less compressed on my end. I had to get to the point yesterday.

Fair enough. It’s hard to read tone on the internet. Sorry for that.

I’ll check out some of your articles/books, sure.

Because you’ve put words in my mouth.

Show me where I said all marginalized narratives were burned.

But also, some WERE burned. Lost to history. Gone. As if they never happened.

You don’t follow my thought process, or you’re being willfully obtuse?

Simplistic, but marginalized narratives were also burned in big bonfires at times, as well.

History is written by the conquerors.

To the victor goes the spoils, as they say.
