Howdy r/badhistory! It's time for another edition of modmail madness, the monthly compilation of some of the best (or worst) badhistory takes across Reddit. Every time the sub is mentioned, we get a notification, and we collect the best ones for your perusal.

First, it's been a while since we had a new accusation, but here it is: we're a "fucking cesspool of circle jerking idiots" because we like books as sources. (Bonus for the only reason anyone could critique a youtube video is that it's proving all the established historians wrong!)

There are so many things wrong with this claim about Alexander the Great that we don't even know where to start.

Did you know it took a "humongous toll paid by the blood of the smartest people" to end the Dark Ages?

According to this guy, the quality of life of the average person during the age of Christendom was equal to (or worse!) than North Korea, because they all had less freedom than modern North Koreans and were routinely burned at the stake for things like stealing a chicken.

Anyone who disagrees with TIK does so only because they are socialists. Not because TIK makes crazy arguments with definitions of his own creation. Only because they are socialists.

And finally, things only have one historical cause, not many. That's why all the civil rights movements started at the same time but they could only actually do one at a time.

That's all for the links, so on to the mentions! Each unique thread is counted as a mention only once, regardless of how many times a post might be linked in that thread. In first place, the Mother Teres---wait, wait, I'm getting reports that the Mother Teresa post was NOT the most mentioned post this month! That's right, first place actually goes to Myths of Conquest Part 7: Death by Disease Alone, with a resounding 10 mentions across Reddit! Mother Teresa is still good for second place though, with 8 mentions. And in third place, the shiny new T-34 series got 5 mentions. Altogether, 27 unique r/badhistory posts were linked to 60 conversations across Reddit!

As always, if there's a post you want us to see, just send us a modmail or mention the sub in the comments. Have a great March!
