Ax, that's the dumbest shit I've read in the past ten minutes, and before I was reading something by someone that was saying how funny Ricky Gervais is.
Unreal.
Pseudo-academics with an axe to grind and a desire to show off how big their intellectual dick is through using jargon nobody understands nor is impressed by? God, they irritate me. They claim to be rescuing and giving voice to the "subaltern" classes, the subjugated and overlooked people and their histories from imperialism, yet their writing is so dense that you need very specialised knowledge to actually follow it.
I actually think this sort of bullshit is even worse for the discipline of history than utter non-historical, fictional, fallacious crap like that 1421 book that claims China discovered EVERYWHERE first. At least it's pretty easily recognisable as junk history that shouldn't be taken seriously. It certainly holds no sway within academic history and you can just laugh at it and move on. But this post-colonial crap is already inside the discipline, chipping away. Fucking fuck off.
God. Working on this essay makes me furious. Can you tell!
NP: Colony (Peel Sessions) - Joy Division.
My least favourite JD song, but I love the lyrics on this version.
It's crap like this that make people think history is a boring, bloated topic
You prefer I Remember Nothing, Something Must Break, and The Only Mistake?
Oh god, this is fantastic! I could e-mail all these arseholes and tell them exactly what I think of them, because they're all university lecturers and thus have e-mail addresses posted on the relevant institutions' websites. AWESOME.
Dear arseholes,
I would just like to thank you for killing my passion for history. After trawling through your astonishingly poorly written, jargon-laden, axe-grinding, incoherent, incompetently structured, unfocused tomes of wild leaps of logic, unsubstantiated claims, and outright pseudo-academic paranoia, I simply want to throw in the towel. You have offered historical studies nothing with your theorising. You have driven out of your histories everything but the most asinine historiography. Your dense language is juvenile, like you are competing to see who has the biggest academic schlong. Your work truly seems to be the production of vapid minds with nothing better to do but grab a thesaurus and use it to make some form of word salad. Nobody is impressed. I am sure that disciplines such as Medicine do not have to put up with idle and paranoid individuals like you. Please go away. Please stop killing history for everybody else.
Regards,
Ax
