Rather than link, I’ll just repeat myself. It is physically fucking impossible to be unable to resign. You can be talked out of resigning, but when a man genuinely wants to resign, he does so. Claims of being unable are claims.
You’re picking at holes that don’t exist, I didn’t use the word “unable”. This is a strangely desperate dive into semantics.
History only has facts when a lot of people agree on something. When one guy claims he was doing very good things, you must consider that he lie.
The history taught in the U$ does not agree with the history taught in China. You would have us believe that the history accepted by the majority is correct solely because it’s accepted by the majority.
The brainwashed one is me, even though you’re discussing a former world leader, all of which employ propaganda.
You started the conversation about Stalin. You were confident in your knowledge then, but you’re scrambling to avoid addressing your cognitive dissonance at this point.
And you still haven’t answered the question.
If Stalin was so intent on seizing power, why’d he try to resign so much?
You asked, why didn’t he? I’m saying your faith that he certainly tried is inappropriate. He might’ve tried, or he might’ve not. It’s not a question of which side says what, it’s the sheer quantity of different people that helps make an account reliable.
We can say yes, the Holocaust really happened, because such a wide range of people, from Americans to Soviets to Germans agree that yes, it happened. This makes it reliable. If only Americans said it happened, this would be less reliable.
I already admitted just a couple replies ago what I do not know, and what I am unable to know. The one who has failed to acknowledge their own potential ignorance is not me.
Again, that is not fact. You can’t just unilaterally declare one side as fact. You have to acknowledge that maybe it wasn’t a good side vs a bad side. Maybe it was two bad sides vs each other. Maybe both were willing to lie. This is very important.
We admit we lie sometimes. This is why we doubt everything and try to seek consensus in our academic environments.
