when it comes to africa for example i was taught that they're poor cause their land isn't harvestable or some bullshit like that, and then i find out as an adult it's actually cause western countries fucked the shit out of them and huh that makes a lot more sense
Me as a child in the shit country I live:
- "Dad, why are we poor and not like the cool countries in Europe"
- "Eeerhm... eeeh... dark skinned people don't work and vote peronists"
Then I learned history and shit.
