Addendum the mention that 'Rhodesia' is a "transglobal nation which never abolished any of the good old morality laws" is meant as an #LiteralMeaningInsinuation, which #LiteralMeaningConnotation.nnotes a type of #PleaNostalgiaRetrospection for a #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland - what #IRLScholarSvetlanaBoym describes as a #PleaNostalgiaRestorative where #TheoryDeclinism.ist impulses are able to imagine a #NarrativeStableMorality of #TheoryRetrospectiveIdentities

@ClarenceFurlan [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: Mitch qui continu avec sa bull shit #woke.
Il aime bien mettre la bisbille entre les PN et les francophone.
En tant que Rhodésien ça lui fait un petit velours.
Informes-toi donc auprès d'historiens, archéologues et autres qui ont fait de vrais recherches. [URL redacted] [URL redacted]
"Mitch continuing with his bull shit woke.
He likes to start bickering between the PN and the French speakers.
As a Rhodesian, it's a little comfort to him.
So get information from historians, archaeologists and others who have done real research."

#IRLAuthorEricBedard "Basically, Montreal is no more 'Mohawk' than Quebec is 'Wendat'. The first are the descendants of 'domiciled' indigenous people converted to Christianity who arrived after the founding of Montreal while the second are the descendants of political/humanitarian refugees whose historic lands were in the 'Pays-d'en-haut'. True "reconciliation" comes through "truth". And if it is good to criticise the written sources of 17th century Europeans, the same critical sense must prevail for indigenous 'oral' sources. I add that history, as a discipline, the quest for a certain truth of 'facts', has neither skin colour nor nationality."

Supplementary #ReasoningFallacyBiasSurvivorship [Wikipedia] "Survivorship bias occurs when a social or political process causes many units to drop out of the sample, while those which survive and enter the sample exhibit peculiar features, consistent with their survival, that makes them non-representative of the larger population. Left uncorrected, survivorship bias can lead to biased conclusions. Therefore, standard practice is faulty. Standard practice is to estimate a conditional probability function, such as the probability of autocratic survival conditional on access to resource rents, on all units in a cross-sectional and longitudinal data set that spans the globe. Using all of the relevant data would seem to assure most scholars that they are not inducing bias through selecting a biased set of cases; but with survivorship bias, the bias is built directly into the data set."
