It’s crazy nothing came out of the Soviet Union

but of course at the end of WW2 and the nature of the defeat of Germany the Cold War began and this is where the US-Russian rivalry begins really

To this day it’s not the same as before

Now they are buddies w China

they were friends with China before after Mao took over China in the extraordinarily bloody Chinese Civil War

obviously one of communism's greatest victories, if not their greatest cosniderring China is still communist while the USSR fell

China scares me man

but China and Russia also had some border clashes and problems between eachother called the Sino-Soviet Split, though they a being neighbors are still somewhat close obviously

Did u study history

You know hella

sure lol anyone can, jsut read books lol

Facts

i didn't go to school for it if that's what you mean though

i do it for fun cause i'm a nerd

History in school they just force feed you a narrative

I’d rather study on my own

man i forget who i lent my Mao books too, damnit, those are hard a/f to find too, it took me years to track some down

Lol damn

well i mean history in school was oka, i went to a decent public school so their history classes were actualyl pretty good

but obviously there's a lot of history out there, enough for many lifetimes obviously

I enjoyed my US history teacher very much she’d have us argue both sides of topics , bro we even had a topic about is slavery racist. That’s all I was thinking of last night when it was brought up

In 2020 that’s rare to see

lol

well racism arguably doesn't exist, the ism shit is postmodern

but slavery in the US was indeed race basedm pretty obviously

though at the same time it wasn't for the whole US either, but that famous matter of states rights

Yeah they tried native Americans first but they would get sick, wasn’t bc of their race for choosing blacks it was just the best choice

hence it became an issue that was at the heart of the first US Cvil War

But I still believe racism was prevalent then

well no, the spaniards enslaved the native americans and mixed with them

the french and the english not so much

I remember learning they did at first

and then when America proper was founded it was indeed conceived of as a white country, hence some of the argument to not even slavery to begin with since it obviously undermines that

But they kept escaping bc they knew the land

lol no the natives were expelled from the eastern seaboard famously by Andrew Jackson, the Trail of Tears

Before the trail of tears

I’m talking early on

it's because before America in the French and Indian War there was a loto f problems with them, and even after

technicalyl the Indian Wars are the longest series of wars in US History

It was fucked ngl

They’d give money for the scalps of natives like wtf
