If you can’t tell I’m mad at Phipps, not the person who quote retweeted her.

I would go into a tangent about how upsetting this sort of thing is for me but just know I’m a historian myself and hate people like Phipps working in the field. Shit hurts to see

    History, economy and politics form an essential triangle - dropping any of the three turns you into a walking collection of disconnected and misunderstood facts, a kind of trained (in this case fascist) parrot.

    In other words, countries such as USA are full of people/authorities with all kinds of worthless, in fact harmful, “degrees” but the system needs them exactly as such.
