We barely know history in America...

[u/BobBeats → u/anonmymouse]

History that is whitewashed to make it sound like those awful times of children being maimed in factories were desirable outcomes.

It’s more that a lot of them just make up whatever sounds the best and run with it lol.

As long as we look like the heroes of the story of course...

Actually, we despise history in America. The amount of times I've heard people ask why history is taught in schools is disgusting.

[u/mitkase → u/effurshadowban]

Well, Prager U. Already teaches perfectly cromulent history - we don’t need blue-haired anti-American “progressives” (but we mean communists) teaching our kids that the country has done anything bad ever! Stop making us try to feel bad or responsible! /ffs

Actually, we despise history in America. 

That's because it's in the interest of our power base to have us repeat it. Cuts down on the unpredictability. Good for investment.

Depends if you went to school in a red or blue state

What are you talking about? We know history in America.

Famous explorer and all around nice, reliable and responsible guy Christopher Columbus sailed here and had thanksgiving with the native Americans, who were all so thankful for the free blankets and jobs that they willingly gave away all the land to us so we could settle our Christian nation, free from kings and Brits.

Yadda yadda, we had a small tussle with a few of our southern neighbors, kicked the world's ass in two back to back wars, conquered the moon, then introduced the world to real money and trading which never existed before the dollar.

And that's why we're the greatest country in the world!

(this is all sarcasm for those who haven't picked up on it yet)
