I disagree with the contention that the left has controlled history.

The only thing they’ve controlled is their lies. What they’ve done to history is to replace it with their own invention.

That is to say, on the one hand we have history. On the other, the left’s distortion of history.

Two things which are categorically different and existentially separate.

"I disagree with the contention that the left has controlled history. The only thing they’ve controlled is their lies."

Every day I wake up and I hear people constantly saying "we are surrounded by lies". I say it myself. Don't you say it too?

"What they’ve done to history is to replace it with their own invention."

I think we're saying the same thing, at the end of the day. Maybe I'm just using incorrect words here. The lie is in the mainstream, then the lie is history. Real history has been replaced and nobody sees it anymore. It's been packed away for inconvenience's sake.

"That is to say, on the one hand we have history. On the other, the left’s distortion of history. Two things which are categorically different and existentially separate."

This makes sense in a statistical sort of way but it loses sight of how it's playing out in real time. I think the word "replacement" (you said "replace") is the bridge in which we meet.

If you have the power to replace something, it's something you completely control.
