World History is only from post WW1 to maybe Vietnam. No really, I teach alongside the History department and I see what's on the curriculum. I imagine that the kids are bored af but I don't dare ask. Like does some 13 year old in 2023 need to learn about Stalin and the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact?
BTW I don't teach History.
since we're still in the post-ww2 world order (though it's increasingly falling apart), i'd say that yes, they need to learn about ww2 and what lead to it.
the problem with teaching about the molotov-ribbentrop pact is that they always make it out to be some singular evil thing, with barely any mention of things like the munich betrayal. and of course no material analysis of what actual options stalin had, when faced with a rabidly anticommunist and uncooperative west and the fucking nazis.
and the fascist poles. and and and.
My high school taught that Molotov-Ribbentrop was basically an alliance and an agreement to divide Poland between the USSR and Nazi Germany, two equally evil countries controlled entirely by Hitler and Stalin.
Clearly they should have encouraged parents to have 12 children each while they struggled to modernize their agriculture. Then westerners would never criticize that decision or the consequences of it.
Lmao yeah, it's not like they demonstrate to us every day about how they feel when they see impoverished villages with African families of 8-12 children. Surely they would be more fair :yea:
Lmao it's literally in the name of the disease and people still need reminding because it didn't personally affect them until 2020
It's COrona VIrus Disease actually which is much dumber than yours but also the correct one lol

From 2003-2016, I'd see Falun Gong demonstrations in my city, and I'd totally believe them. I actually had a short debate with a mainland Chinese friend in 2014 over them. If they didn't go Trump and anti vaccines, I might still believe them.
Thanks Falun Gong, you made me a tankie.
If we abducted Scientology members and gave their organs to people in need that would be awesome!
I remember arguing with liberals on Reddit about Falun Gong and I was like "yes I agree they are oppressed and they should be. You people advocate for the oppression of MAGA dipshits all the time, as you should."
But that's not enough, apparently Liberals also believe the organ harvesting allegation on top of that which is bizarre. So they believe that the Falun Gong believes their organs are magical, and they also have to believe that the CPC ALSO believes the Falun Gong have magical organs? This is like when liberals advocate for the Dalai Lama, they temporarily drop their own identity to assume the position that the Dalai Lama is actually magical and controls his magical reincarnations and a spiritual entity is so invested in geopolitics that it will use its magic to avoid mainland China
china sure does seem destroyed right now, its just a smoking crater after these last 70 years, sheesh!
:xinternet: That's it, I'm double clicking the full Communism icon.
Remember that time a bunch of peaceful protesters met in a national capitol and the oppressive regime rolled out tanks on them?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army
Not to be “that guy” but the bonus army thing was directly tied to an attempted fascist takeover of the United States by business interests. It’s literally called the business plot. Basically some very powerful businessmen tried getting a very popular war hero to overthrow the government, they offered him money, guns, power, everything. The war hero refused because he had some loyalty to the USA and reported it to congress, where he was laughed out and never taken seriously again.
The bonus army was supposed to have been armed with guns and stormed the White House, but the person capitalists were counting on bailed before they got the ball rolling. Like yeah those people were vets from ww1 who were there to get their bonuses, but like they also created the silver legion, so frankly I wished the us army fired a Gatling gun into that crowd and killed all of them.
So it only seemed like an organic protest, but in reality it was propped up by capital with the intent of violently confronting the state?
:seen-this-one:
i think your timeline is a little off. the bonus army was dispersed by hoover (and cost him the election). the business plot (1 year later) was an attempt to get smeadly butler to lead a "bonus army like column" to overthrow FDR, who they considered no better then a commie.
good thing butler was a socialist the whole time. they probably should have read his book.
Prescott Bush, George HW Bush’s dad, was one of the leaders of the business plot
Chinese internet censorship started in 2009? Is that what that's saying?
Wouldn’t it be funny if all of the years ended in 9 except one? And it just wasn’t addressed?
i think it's a reference to the ban of Facebook and Google in that year
lmao at “CCP takes over” as a bad thing, as if the other side wasn’t the fascist KMT.
