Show me where I said all marginalized narratives were burned.

But also, some WERE burned. Lost to history. Gone. As if they never happened.

I didn't say that you thought that and I definitely don't mean to. Are you having a bad day or something? is this a cross cultural communication issue?

All I'm saying is that history being written by the victors is a bit simplistic and not very interesting in terms of how to understand history. If you're interested in history I would have thought you'd be keen to look at examples of narratives that refute that popular trope. I meant no offense.

Fair enough. It's hard to read tone on the internet. Sorry for that.

I'll check out some of your articles/books, sure.
