Because it often comes up re The Calamity and Ludinus I did do some looking into the history of the phrase "History is written by the victors" and, spoiler alert: there is some accuracy to it, but it is REALLY popular among people who were, I think it's fair to say, wrong and should not have been writing history (eg: the Confederacy)

#ludinus like: during the war of godly aggression #cr tag #in all seriousness i feel it ties into what i said in tags about cults #it's one thing to be like what we learned has distinct biases that should be analyzed and addressed #it's another to be like THROW OUT EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER KNOWN and people who do the latter tend to get sucked into conspiracies #unfortunately a rapid sea change vs. a slow and thorough investigation is frequently just as biased and wrong
