      This is missing the point. It’s a part of history. It obviously had enough purchase in history and linguistics. What kind of historian obfuscates history? And what a feeble, petty reason as “it was not used as prevalenty”. Can you really be intellectually serious?

      Obviously had? No, that's not obvious. You clearly have not read any of the arguments in this debate. Changing a term because of the baggage is not "obfuscating". You seem to have quite a few biases and bad faith motivations, given the far-right content on your account.

      Why are you letting bigots and white supremacist weirdos have the final say over how scholars should, in perpetuity, define terms that originate (without malice) in primary sources? Why grant them that power? Who's really empowering these people? I hope you see your error.

      Your point is based on the privilege of believing that bigots and "white supremacist weirdos" don't master, aren't a threat, and are "fringe." This is demonstrably untrue

      They are very much a "fringe". We have genuine crime stats to prove that. If you don't think that the power and social purchase of white supremacists has diminished since [insert a year..1900?] I don' know what to say to you. It's not a matter of my "privilege", but an objective

      I’d invite you to read my mentions or those of anyone who’s advocated for a shift (especially scholars of color) in terminology when you say it’s a “fringe movement.” It’s a sea of white nationalism and white people claiming we’re trying to erase their heritage.

          If you want historical accuracy, we would barely use the term anyway. It’s a latin term that was used either by authors outside of England or by a small set of kings. We’re now using the term to refer to a bunch of situations where our sources don’t use it.

          Nobody has said not to use it when sources use it. We’re not erasing it from Asser’s Vita Alfredi, for instance. But it was a specialized term not unlike the term “Anglecynd,” which no one complains has been “erased” bc scholars don’t regularly use to refer to the early English.
