r/marvelstudios - Did anyone else not know that Pakistan used to be part of India before watching Ms. Marvel? Or that it’s only 70 years old or so?

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.

    The modern state of Russia is from 1991. The real fun one is Americans not realizing Israel didn't exist before 1948.

      I actually did learn about Israel's creation in 1948 which in retrospect is pretty surprising.

      Russia libs have a weird belief that Russia is the USSR is Tsarist Russia, all the same but under different names.
