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.
It wouldn't surprise me if most Americans don't realize Germany in it's modern, reunified state dates back to 1990.
Most Americans don't know that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slaveowners :john-brown:
they super don't know that George Washington wanted to be an officer in the British army but wasn't allowed as he was a colonial. Or that the continental army was organised very much like a European army at the time not some ragtag militias
TBF you could just remind them about the fall of the Berlin Wall and they'd get it.
