I don't think you're being genuine. You can always find people online saying ridiculous shit. You can't control that. But when it enters the sphere of "real politics" it needs to be shutdown. I hate the guy, but even Charlie Kirk could do this. It's a very low bar but I'm not surprised the spineless shitsack Cruz couldn't clear it.

I think there is likely a more even gender distribution of history nerds who are truly interested in history when it comes to topics outside of politics and military. A lot of men tend to use it for ego stroking and fantasizing about being the great men of history, while there is no similar avenue for women in that regard.

The difference is that one is hired by capitalists to protect capital (whether that be slaves or shipments) and the other is organized by communities to protect communities. One is based on greed and self interest, the other is based on personal safety and care for your neighbors. The difference goes a little farther beyond mere belief and emerges from the economic system itself.
