Goddamn have you hit on a pet peeve of mine. Especially because I love history and always have. Even long before I was a commie, fucking couldn't get enough of it. I may have been an annoying af libertarian nerd, but even then I was totally open to learning new things about history and changing my mind. But history is the one area where Americans are absolutely convinced their understanding of it is not only correct, but unchallengeable. Like I can spend 10 minutes outlining how the "Stalin killed 20 million" thing is total bullshit, and every American who isn't a commie will just say you're wrong because they just know communism kills. And no they will not provide any evidence or even consider reading more on the matter.
We need a ten thousand word essay to say one nice thing about communism and they just need one single :brainworms: to say one cliche to counter it in their mind. Angloids are the most propagandized people on the planet.
I have an interesting situation where certain people I know consider me the “History Guy” and defer to me whenever I explain topics.
Explaining anything that has to do with communism/socialism and for some of them that suddenly goes out the window. “Historical context? Nah, the Soviet Union failed because communism human nature no innovations no prosperity bla bla”
Libs be like "Ok, we have this story where some dudes burned all the food, but get this, they're the good guys."
"They had the collaborate with the Nazis to get their own nation-state. Because ethnicity should be the basis of government."
