Thomas Hobbes "life is nasty, brutish and short" quote is one of the favorite saying touted by history and international relations professors. Because history and the majority of modern intrastate/interstate issues are not pretty.

I'd actually be interested in hearing why you think otherwise?

I don't think otherwise, but you're doing fierceawakening a pretty big favor there by equating that with Hobbes.

I don't know that I'd go as far as Hobbes. But I mean exactly what you say: that history is not pretty. We make it sound so for kids, usually, and -- eh. Sometimes I think that's fine, as they may not be developmentally ready to handle, to use my example below, "Lincoln did some awesome things but was kind of a dick." But sometimes I think that does a disservice, because it teaches people to believe a rosy picture when history is actually messy and fraught with people doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons and even having creepy as fuck reasons when they do the right things.

Doesn't make history bad to study or unrelentingly creepy or anything. But no, it's Not Pretty, and someone already inclined to misanthropy doesn't seem to me to be likely to look at it and go "Whoa. I was wrong. YAY HUMANITY!!!"
