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.
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.
