And how today looks alot like that
indeed. I think this a logical falacy, believing something because you want too, but it something we have all been guilty of.
santa clause, e.g.,
Let's be fair, every country has had blood on its hands at some point. We just don't shy away from letting people learn our problems in the US... but people don't always see that clearly.
Are you disturbed by what some consider a rise in Hitler's ideas in the United States today, as some news organizations have described it?
In what way?
speaking of how every country has blood on its hands, do you want to hear something that is fucking disgusting?
Idk
The news talks about it a lot
They need to give examples, otherwise I can't research it myself.
most of that is just propaganda to make us fearful. a lot of these "nazis" aren't even real. :/
I believe that is misinformation/ overly exaggerated information meant to divide Americans.
Lets be real we teaching kids Hitler was bad but tell them to praise China afyer they killing millions
Do you think some far-left people would call common conservatives like us "nazis"?
Remember a house divided will fall.
its kind of similar to the whole "KKK is still a thing" that left media puts out. sure you have some racists, but the KKK if it exists at all is more like a weird ass club for crazy people than anything legit.
I don't see any example of such ideals except by the people saying that they are "for the people" and "against oppression"
I believe so mainly because they do not understand the meaning or weight of the word and therefore over use it.
Good point
That is true
The issue we have nowadays is the lack of critical thought, people just parrot what they hear and will almost never research things for themselves or draw their own conclusions based on their experiences.
I'm curious, whaddya got?
I will say the right is more likely to Research tho
But both sides do it
True, and it's why the left is beyond reason, but there are some in the right (extremists, mostly) who fall in this category.
Yes but the number of extremists on the far right is like so low its funny
I think our education system is mostly to blame, and the decline of the importance of families.
Unlike number on far left which is really high
U mean brainwashing oh sorry I mean college
Yeah.
I can't tell you how often I was called a bigot in history class in college.
Happens when left prof are 85% of the teachers
Funny how they want diversity just not diversity of thought
Actually, the prof was great and encouraged debate and critical thought.... it was all from the blue-haired girl with the stickered hydroflask.
No joke
Diversity of ethnicity, anyone who thinks for themselves though is a racist
Ur lucky
Most prof now a days push the liberal talking points
dude i am about to boil over this!! I fucking hate our public education system for this reason. They will teach us all year long about every tainted thing the U.S. has done, not so much to educate us on why we should avoid repeating those mistakes, but make us feel ashamed of being called Americans. On the contrary, they will teach us about how wonderful the Mongolians, the Aztecs, and the Mesopotamians were. Never mind that they were all dadgum fucking pagans who sacrificed their children to fucking rocks and wood!! If someone does take the time to google more in preparation for class discussion and learns about this, our teachers just say something a long the lines of "oh well yes, no country is perfect, but these people were so advanced and progressive! And did you know that the Mongolians and the Spartans were the first to treat their women like equals?" They are even worse when we talk about CHICOM or the USSR. But America? Never mind that we have equal opportunity for everyone, fought a fucking revolution so that our people could be represented in their government, have property, and defend their lives and beliefs with whatever means necessary. Never mind that we fought one of the bloodiest wars the world has seen just to end slavery. Never mind that no country is more desirable to immigrants than America. America is just a bunch of self-interested business men who want to oppress minorities and conquer the world. Even when I was in Texas, our curriculum was this way because it was issued by the gov. and you know the commie insurrectionist got their hands all over that shit. 😡
shit sorry for the rant.o-o
Yeah, I was lucky. From what I heard, every other history prof was like you describe
