While the bright and "civilized" Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.

You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it's entirely untrue.

It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated "opinions" are flung around more than ever.

World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they're not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.

Of course it's not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they're accusing others of.

More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It's hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn't matter much when you don't know what the hell you're talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.

Please educate yourself, you're embarrassing yourself and your people.

The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.

It's ok, americans don't have healthcare so they can afford to wage wars all over the place

I think they're good books, it's just that they're again and again referred to as "proof that communism was horrible" by people who have not the slightest clue how communism actually was besides what the western governments tell them about it

I abandoned it at some point in the second half. It was getting even more interesting but summer was ending and I no longer had as much time.

They hate violence by any means but they'll gladly support military support against the Palestinians. Absolutely zero thinking and logic

It's funny how libs turn into world peace fighting historians overnight completely ignoring what has been happening for years without them knowing or caring
