Literally just ask chat.gpt to generate a list of free websites and forums to publish your stuff to and voila you're off to the races.

Yeah there is no single explanation for revolution. Looking strictly to wealth distribution is reductionistic at best. I mean, wealth distribution was arguably better in the U.S. in the 1860s than it was in the prelude to Revolutionary France and yet we had a Civil War lmfao. There are endless examples that disprove this rule. The reality is: popular unrest is extremely complicated, and the factors that lead up to it are varied with fluctuating levels of influence at different stages of development. Sure, perception of wealth is a key component... but its hardly an explainer.

The "wealth distribution" theory of unrest is so thoroughly debunked its insane to see people who still think in these terms. Smh.

Ok so I watched this video and it actually did a really good job at explicating the context of the crusades in ways that a lot of school history readings didn’t for me. I've been notified that the channel is apparently a MAGA pipeline, and I don't necessarily endorse all views held in that channel, but I had to admit: it was refreshing seeing the Crusades explained through a rational, realist lens rather than just chalking it up to "evil bad man kill nice foreign people". And it got me wondering: does anybody here know any good books or book series on ancient European history - the Crusades, the Inquisitions, etc. - that don’t use objectivity as a facade for bashing Western culture? Like, books that use realism and rationality to explain the choices made and provide context into them? I'm looking for stuff as comprehensive as possible. I’m thinking something similar to Shelby Foote’s Civil War trilogy but with European history. Fairly detailed, objective, etc. Thanks in advance!
