in no other country on earth do you get people flocking to historical sites, ppledging allegiance to the current power structure or a sanitized history.

      I mean imagine reporting on some national celebration in the US and asking "why aren't they talking about the Trail of Tears?"

        On :reddit-logo: every time there's a celebration or praising of the Haitian Revolution, mayos will get upvoted for saying "bu wha about all those poor white people that got killed?".

        Whereas on the Fourth of July, bring up the atrocities the revolutionaries and their successors committed and you're suddenly a party pooper.
