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 got interested in the Sandinistas (and subsequently the Iran-Contra affair) when I was a kid who was playing MGS Peacewalker for hours straight. Just the fact that a Commie guerrilla group was portrayed as part of the “good guys” blew my mind.

    Comrade Kojima?
