“Don’t know much about history…” —Sam Cooke
"Don't know much biology..." -Sam Cooke some more
"What the fuck is a science book?" -Sam Cooke, 2025 Remastered Version
Or as a young man in the navy, being told to make sure to act right in foreign countries...."you'd never want to have to deal with their legal system."
I remember being a kid wishing there was more world history being taught. Seemed like we got a touch of world history in 6th grade and 9th grade but between those spaces was all US History
I remember HS history was incredibly neutered. It was still America is Heroes. There were small cracks, like Japanese internment camps. Or the Trail of Tears. But they had a single paragraph or two. I remember reading about the Vietnam war and how people "feel" about it.
Only during college did I read about real history. Things like our meddling in the Philippines. Our meddling in South America. Our meddling in Southeast Asia after WW2. Not to mention real American history, like Black Wall Street.
The worse is that the text books are owned by conservatives, so expect even more neutering/white washing. Combined with religious folks hating modern education and homeschooling, and we got ourselves some backwards ass folks.
MAGAts got raised?
MAGA
Morons And Genuine Ass-holes
I was raised to love my neighbor, to respond to hate with compassion, to tell the truth even when it hurt. I was taught that these were Christian values and by extension, American ones. We were the country that believed in freedom of thought, the integrity of history, and moral courage.
But now I see many of the same people who taught me those values embracing a movement built on denial, grievance, and revisionist history. They’ve tied themselves to a man who mocks truth, glorifies cruelty, and demands loyalty over integrity.
And the saddest part? We used to look at other nations and say, “That could never happen here.” But it is happening here. And it’s not being forced on us, we’re choosing it.
The cost of that betrayal isn’t some distant consequence we’ll face down the road. It’s already here. The values they abandoned didn’t slowly fade, they were cast aside, willingly, and replaced with something hollow. This isn’t a detour. It’s the destination. And the people who once preached righteousness have no intention of turning back.
It was always happening in the States, just less so or people didn’t care whether or not the history of slaves or whatever was real or not.
It was a slow burn in 'murica that grew into a raging inferno.
Those adults then got treated real poorly, underpaid, abused, and replaced. Now state media is great!
As a kid I distinctly remember American conservatives bombing half my country to keep Russia away from this hemisphere. Now they suck Putin cock
As a kid, I distinctly remember protesting (two separate decades) to stop the middle east invasion. I remember even when it was announced, it was deeply unpopular.
And here we are again.
Fall Out Boy has a song line “goes to the desert the same war his dad rehearsed, came back with flags on coffins and said we won oh we won”
My dad shipped out to the sandbox when I was a kid. Come time for me to sign up, guess where the action was. Next group will be moving to Iran I suppose and we’ll just have a Starbucks in every goddamn ME country before the whole thing implodes at home
My parents said "Quit eating that school glue, shithead!".
curious how almost everyone missed the point of this post
😆
I mean, yeah. Two different things can be true at the same time.
I also remember that the USSR was mocked because their citizens had to show papers to move around inside the country. With all the warrantless searches allowed within 50 miles of the border (aka a huge part of the USA) and the huge amount of scrutiny that you face to even fly within the USA, it doesn't seem quite so funny anymore.
