Post Body

Howdy r/badhistory! Every time someone mentions this sub or links to a post from here, we get a notification. We compile those notifications for you to be amazed by the best ones (or baffled, if you prefer).

First off, Jordan Peterson may or may not have "helped many people", but any help he has given certainly hasn't been in understanding the field of history.

Jordan Peterson fans continue to have a time; much like TIK, they expect you to watch hours-long videos to offer any criticism.

What helped workers rights and labour movements create change? Was it strikes? Unions? Labour actions? Intersectional reform movements? Nope, apparently it was only the presence of the USSR. Quick, someone better tell all the labour reform from before 1917 it wasn't really real.

Petition to replace the Hole Left By the Christian Dark Ages with the Hole Left By the Urban Renewal Dark Ages.

While you partied, Shad studied the blade, but only well enough to become a "third rate fantasy author."

This just in: we stifle all conversation with our rule that you can't make jokes as top level replies. An interesting criticism, considering such a rule doesn't exist and never has.

What makes a town Polish? r/OldPhotosInRealLife discusses.

There are two entirely different conversations happening in this discussion of the Ottoman Empire.

And finally, apparently the Mongols had no administrative structure in their conquests except for vaguely getting taxes, somehow.

That's all the best notifications from this month; let's get to the mentions! Every time a thread is mentioned, we record it. Mentions are counted only once per unique top-level post, or else we would drown in the Mother Teresa mentions every month. Even with our one-time-only policy, Mother Teresa still got mentioned the most, as she was linked in 15 unique threads (this includes the 37 times she was mentioned in that one r/AskReddit thread). In second place was the criticism of Shaun's atomic bomb video, with 4 mentions. And finally, Shad's longbow shenanigans were mentioned in 3 different threads. Altogether, 27 r/badhistory threads were linked in 47 unique places across Reddit. That's all for this month--have a good September, and we'll see you in October!
