Which is more obnoxious?

[BenBurch]

I think both annoy me, but the former is more annoying to me. 

[BackWoodsSouthernLawyer]

Latter.

[John Dule]

The latter has done more damage in the past; the former will proceed to do more damage in the future.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Both are obnoxious (hopefully normal), but

Clearly the latter, as the former tend to be significantly more historically aware but view history through a particular lens, while the latter have no knowledge of history beyond a middle school level and are uninterested in learning more.

[Grassroots]

The former

EASILY the former.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

the former, being more likely to consider themselves extremely enlightened experts.

[Ilhan Apologist]

Clearly the latter, as the former tend to be significantly more historically aware but view history through a particular lens, while the latter have no knowledge of history beyond a middle school level and are uninterested in learning more.

[Vittorio]

They are substantially the same thing - philosophical idealists who hold that history is driven by an interplay of subjectivistic identity monads, rather than material social processes. A black nationalist is functionally indistinguishable from an American Patriot.

I can’t telk if you’re my favorite “new” () poster or literally the worst. Perhaps both.

[SWE]

Both are flawed but the former is closer to reality

[Higgins]

Former.

[lfromnj]

whats 1776 ?

I thought we only reached 243 AID

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

The former may be a generally unproductive perspective to have, but it doesn't challenge objective historical truths. Meanwhile, the latter trafficks in blatant historical revisionism and ignorance (and in a way that continues to scourge discussions on race relations to this day).

So, the latter is clearly worse.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Wi: people who believe human morality has steadily increased along some sort of increasingly upwards zeitgeist throughoutvhistiry.

Absolutely the worst, if only because it is much more common a viewpoint than the other two discussed here.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

You can combine the two with the idiots who say that this country is the most racist it's ever been.

[OneJ]

Honestly, I say the latter.

[morgankingsley]

The first one if you're talking about pure annoyance

[User156728683354]

the former, being more likely to consider themselves extremely enlightened experts.

This. It's the same reason that people calling the Proud Boys "fascists" and "white nationalists" are worse than people calling Elizabeth Warren a "communist". Both are insanely stupid but the latter are rightly not taken seriously by anyone respectable while the former are legitimized by Wikipedia (which is why Wikipedia is completely stupid) and all major media outlets except Fox News.
