we shouldn’t trust historians to teach us history because they are people with biases. instead we should learn from instagram influencers, who would never lie to us.
people are saying. i’m sorry hold on a minute
Yeah, there’s a series of videos where they question whether Helen Keller was a real person or else “faking it”. Worst of all, the argument for why she couldn’t have been real is that no deaf and blind person could “do all that” referring to her extensive education, the 12 books she wrote, world travel, and work campaigning on things like civil rights and women’s suffrage.

I think my least favorite commentary is from this writer on Medium saying: “Generation Z literally does not believe Helen Keller existed. And frankly, I’m having a hard time accepting that she did myself. I don’t feel bad or wrong for it … Does it stem from our own insecurities — could it be that a blind, deaf woman with more success in life than all of us is too much to grasp? Possibly.”
I amend my statement. Disabled people should be allowed to hunt Helen Keller-deniers for sport.
I should be allowed to hunt tiktokkers for sport at my discretion.
