Incredibly sad that so many people in the imperial core can only learn about history when their superhero entertainment slop barely mentioned it. Watchmen had a scene showing the Tulsa massacre and millions of white people were like, "Wait, that happened?" I guess we need Spider Man 9 to have a scene detailing the Iran-Contra scandal for most people to realize that Reagan wasn't a great guy.

    I legit wasn't taught about that in school either, even in world history classes. The closest mention of the India-Pakistan split came from I think a movie of the life of Gandhi. Yes, fucking movies were a significant part of my education. American education is a straight up joke

      Lol this is how I learned about it too. I think watching theGandhi movie was the only teaching we were given on modern India/South Asia
