    Actually History isn’t always written by the victors… This is the origin of a lot of persistent and false memes…

    You may remember history but your reading comprehension needs a little work

      What does writing history mean to you? Making memes no one knows about, isn’t. Making memes that enter public consciousness (as the word combination “a lot of persistent” seems to suggest or at least leave open) maybe. But what do I know, I lack basic reading skills apparently.

        Writing history is more than just what’s actually written down. Stories passed through word of mouth, that stick around, are a part of history a la German Scientists making themselves seems smarter after losing. Which is a reoccurring trope throughout Media.

        So yes, history is sometimes ‘written’ by the losers
