A country that defeated fascism. It was something of a group effort! America didn't actually do much fighting in Europe until towards the end of WW2, but they did play a vital role in supply and logistics. Britain couldn't have fought without their industrial backing.

[@vylbird8014]

@crazy knight teleported from medieval times I understand that is part of it. The USSR collapsed from within, but a major contributing factor to that collapse was the massive amount of military spending they needed in order to maintain a credible deterrent against possible American or NATO attack. Don't give America too much credit for fighting against dictatorships though: They also backed plenty of dictators to secure them as allies. The thinking was that a mostly-capitalist dictator in the pocket of the US is a better outcome than them being overthrown by a communist regime or becoming an ally of the Soviet Union. Among their many questionable actions was providing funding and training to what would become the Taliban. They could be arguably accused of doing the same today in Saudi Arabia - backing a tyrannically oppressive government that stands against every value the US stands for, because it is vital to have a military ally in the region to stand against a possible threat from Iran. Sometimes international actions are driven by ideology - but more often, by pragmatism. Better a tyrant on our side than a tyrant against us, right?

My first exposure to the reality of American history was a BADASS middle school social studies teacher who one day had a little chat with the class about Christopher Columbus sailing the ocean blue. She made us read the first chapter of “A People’s History Of The United States” by Howard Zinn. When I say she was a badass, I mean that shit. She rode a Harley to school every day it wasn’t raining or snowing, once called the football coach a piece of shit to his face after she caught him making fun of a LGBTQ Student, She made us all watch videos on system into racism in America. She was a true blue socialist, and made no bones about it. Yet she was also very sweet, and kind, and literally would make sure that every kid knew they had a place in her classroom. Mrs. Roach was the realest person I’ve ever met, and I still go and visit her as often as I can. she was a MASSIVE outlier in childhood education though. The woman was Ivy League educated with a PHD in American history, and took a job way below her true level of expertise to make SURE that we knew this countries past. Yet she never brought a bleak thought about the future, she always made sure that we had faith in what America could be. She always could contextually make her point, and honestly made every kid that went through her classroom came out better on the other end.

1:40 in and I can't help but mention that while they are most definitely lying about the USA, that's actually true about Australian history but the point isn't to make us hate our country. The point is for us to acknowledge the wrongs of the past and how that affects today.

7:55 I've had to deal with a lot of anti-social personality structures. Blaming the other for what they have in mind, or are doing, is typical. This is a way to legitimate the actions. It followed by: if you can do that to me, then I can do that to you. It's polarised dialectics. This dysfunctional application of thesis-antithesis-sythesis lights their path. They inverse an aspect. Make it anti. So it's thesis-antiantithesis. To accomplish the wished for synthesis. Words are not anchored in reality.

My Public School History Education was, Christopher Columbus was a brave genius who fought against the establishment, Pilgrims and Native Americans were all nice during Thanksgiving, James Town was just there and anytime they attacked the Natives it was because they attacked first, Goerge Washington and Thomas Jefferson were heros that loved freedom, Slavery was bad but Abraham Lincoln was good, Segregation was so long ago and racism is gone, everything America did during the Cold War was justified because freedom, and the interventionary wars were because of freedom

The only reason I learned about how the USA was shit in hs is because I took an ap course (college course)

They’re literally arguing that an attack against America is an attack against you. Lol

Prager U: America defeated communism and fascism. I think it was Britain and the Soviet Union that crushed fascism.

when i was in the second grade, i was taught that christopher columbus would order natives to find them gold, and would amputate their fingers if they came back with none when i was in the third grade, i was taught that the people on the mayflower would shit into buckets in front of each other, and when they arrived to new england, and saw remnants of native american civilizations who all died of the diseases columbus brought over, they assumed it was a gift from god when i was in the fourth grade, i was taught about the ongoing conflicts between natives and colonizers in the 1600s through a documentary dramatizing the events that took place, and one of the natives in the video actually showed up to the school and we got to ask him questions in the fifth grade, the crt television was wheeled out, and we watched a vhs tape about early twentieth century racial tension in the united states, and it featured a real video of a lynching i dont know, maybe all my teachers were cool, but i never got these snowflake history classes that many people claim they got when i was a child, i got the exact one that pragerU apparently hates so much

I wish my high school was communists ☹️
