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.
oh yeah. i got taught the pilgrims like 3 times in middle and high school, and ome of them was after i read lies my teacher told me. my curriculum was better than most i think, because we at least covered some of the 'conflicts' from a perspective CV ritical of the colonizers, but we still didn't teach it as a genocide or anything.
Reading LMTTM in sixth grade was probably the first step in my radicalization
same here. i remember feeling really confused when the author went 'even though all this bad stuff happened i still love the us' because he sure convinced me it was irredeemable. big step in learning to hate liberals acknowledging things but not wanting anything to change.
