I suggest watching a series called America in color it goes through 1920s to 1960s

2020-10-24 04:21:27 UTC  

Each era has a episode dedicated to it

2020-10-24 04:22:35 UTC  

still laughing when Biden called Abraham Lincoln a racist at the debate

you know you mentioned kids are taught history is boring. This is off the subject of course, but I think a lot of our education problems stem from the fact school makes kids not like learning. Like history is often boring. I'll admit a lot of parts of history can be boring, but there is a lot of excitement as well. Then you have fucking english class making kids hate reading. You try to get kids to like reading by overanalyzing reading material. No on fucking likes doing that except nutty english teachers. And now you have kids that hate reading which is not only a valuable skill, but something that increases their knowledge of the world around them.

Sorry it was completely off the subject

2020-10-24 04:23:35 UTC  

I enjoy history, half the music I listen to is about military history, I watch a youtube channel talking about said songs, and I am reading a book rn about the Ottomans and the Habsburgs, I'm definitely the minority

2020-10-24 04:23:48 UTC  

Yeah I agree captain

2020-10-24 04:24:05 UTC  

^^^Yeah that's accurate

2020-10-24 04:24:20 UTC  

thx, but what kind of historical music do you listen to?

2020-10-24 04:24:34 UTC  

Sabaton or literal historical songs written decades ago

2020-10-24 04:24:36 UTC  

Sabaton, it's mostly metal

2020-10-24 04:24:40 UTC  

Nice

2020-10-24 04:24:43 UTC  

I like listening to old music

2020-10-24 04:24:57 UTC  

It's not really historical

2020-10-24 04:25:24 UTC

@Captain Riker This is exactly what happened to me. I used to love reading before I met an English teacher

2020-10-24 04:25:33 UTC  

I do have the nazi, Russian, Japanese, and American anthems on my phone

2020-10-24 04:25:46 UTC  

I've expanded my tastes in music. So I like of course Sabaton, but I can dig into historical songs, chants, and all other stuff

2020-10-24 04:25:56 UTC  

Curse the English teachers

2020-10-24 04:26:31 UTC  

I downloaded the nazi anthem because of it being censored nearly everywhere

2020-10-24 04:26:44 UTC  

I don't like censorship of history

2020-10-24 04:26:50 UTC  

Sorry Mrs. Mamm I don't want to analyze edgar allan poe anymore

2020-10-24 04:27:02 UTC  

oh yeah censorship of history is mega RETARDED

2020-10-24 04:27:14 UTC  

Yeah if you censor history then you don't know the truth, only what the winners want to show

2020-10-24 04:27:18 UTC  

I don't think I've ever even heard the nazi anthem?

2020-10-24 04:27:33 UTC  

I'll have to listen to it

2020-10-24 04:28:10 UTC  

I listened to it and to be honest I like it because I like pride in ones country I don't like nazis I like pride

2020-10-24 04:28:32 UTC  

I can agree with that

2020-10-24 04:28:38 UTC  

nationalism is a good thing

2020-10-24 04:28:40 UTC  

I respect it

2020-10-24 04:28:57 UTC  

I just can't always respect the ideology on the other side of by rifle sights

2020-10-24 04:29:03 UTC  

Yeah

2020-10-24 04:29:14 UTC  

That's why I like people like Rommel or Robert E. Lee, they didn't fight for their side because they believed in it's policies, like Nazism and slavery respectively, but rather for their country/state

2020-10-24 04:30:01 UTC  

Yep Robert joined the Confederates because his home state was on the side of the Confederacy

2020-10-24 04:30:09 UTC  

Didn't Rommel abandon Hitler towards the end of the war or am I remembering someone else

2020-10-24 04:30:26 UTC  

Robert was a good general

2020-10-24 04:30:33 UTC  

most definitely better than Grant

2020-10-24 04:30:35 UTC  

Rommel was suicided

2020-10-24 04:30:40 UTC  

Ahh I did not know

2020-10-24 04:30:49 UTC  

He was forced to either take cyanide or his family would die

2020-10-24 04:30:58 UTC  

I respect Roberg may not like Confederates but he stuck with his state

2020-10-24 04:31:03 UTC  

Robert*
