That there was cause to use nuclear weapons is a myth. That there could again be cause to use nuclear weapons is a myth. That we can survive significant further use of nuclear weapons is a myth. That there is cause to produce nuclear weapons even though you’ll never use them is too stupid even to be a myth. And that we can forever survive possessing and proliferating nuclear weapons without someone intentionally or accidentally using them is pure insanity.
Sometimes history teachers are the good ones.
Only sometimes though.
My history teacher was adamant that Nixon was the best president in history (aside from all the illegal stuff).
My high school history teacher was a huge :LIB: by this site's standards, but he was a vocal critic of the Iraq War, emphasized the scale and importance of the Eastern Front in WW2, and taught us about how laissez-faire brainworms were a huge cause of the Great Depression and it was pressure from socialists that gave us social security and medicare. By far the most based teacher in my shitty small town.
