    I hate how history books refer to things like the “patronage system” or “spoils system” as if they’re legitimate systems and not just open corruption.

    I guess it ties into my general hatred of how history textbooks tend to treat history as a bunch of isolated facts to be memorized rather than trying to connect the dots in an insightful way.
