i figured, but if i asked for books and i got a reply which kinda parses as "listen to a chud podcast while the world dies" i'd be displeased👽

i get confused by a lot of weird takes without having a good background in shitty-but-popular historians. like imagine not knowing about the Black Book of Communism when somebody starts telling you Stalin was worse than Hitler. it's just easier to map their "tree of beliefs" as one of my professors once called it

also Revolutions podcast is pretty great I'm sure they've got some material on WWI events but they cover uprisings in general :) good luck in your quest for knowledge
