War on europe is kept mostly vague

When your uniforms are Hugo Boss...

I remember from my textbook, rise and fall of ww2 germany is compiled into 1 paragraph.

@Der Kommissar Where is this?

lol

@xorgy Indonesian school textbooks

Ahh, yeah.

indonesia?

The 4th most populated country in the world?

Well, Germany kinda made fascism look reel bad; which would contribute to explaining why Indonesian schools don't make a big deal about it.

Indonesia currently has a semi-fascist government, it seems.

More like our textbook is focused on japanese invasions and imperialism

Not really, it is far from fascism

Sure, that bit is missing here in NA as far as I can tell.

oh phew... it was all a myth guys ..

But it's mostly because Indonesia wasn't invaded and occupied by the germans

Apartheid's final reckoning: Zimbawae 2 - South African Bogaloo

In fact, if you only get American sources, you might have a sympathetic view of imperial Japan. A lot of people here feel guilty about the A-bombs, and the concentration camps.

ikr

Wtf https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1050075473349230594?s=19

have to discuss the necessity and legality of the bombs every month in a political discord that im in

@wacka ＭＹＴＨＩＣＡＬ

So it was deemed rather non-impactful for the textbook's purpose to potray the inhumanity of japanese occupation during ww2.

people keep saying it was unethical unnecessary and genocidal

funny... if its a myth and never going to happen... then why are they so worried for people just prepping? 😛

obviously because the racist whites might use this as an excuse to re-instate apartheid

@Abel As soon as he goes against (D), it is suddenly okay to call him a "negro".

Now, if there's a clear horror potrayed in my schools' history books, it would be the dutch's VOC aka dutch east india company.

I mean, I'm surprised they aren't just calling Kanye a hard-R "nigger", if they're willing to go that far.

I mean why everyone have to be mad about colonization?

If this happened on fox, people would be talking about it for months

its like bro just get guns lmao

But since it's CNN, its all right

Of course.

thats because nobody listens to CNN anymore when it comes to this

Funnily enough, CNN's branch in Indonesia is one of the few most neutral news outlet for us.

lol

They have competent journalists and casts here

Thats totally possible, they probably work more or less independent

brb moving to Indonesia for the fair press coverage

Tbh, press coverage here is somewhat fair (when you're talking about national news networks)
