Welcome to the awakening , the victors write the history books and the rich withhold the knowledge from the poor. Much of history is romanticized, embellished , short sighted , selfish and simply unfounded .

Exhibit A is the ridiculous usage of the term "Nazi" on this board by the boomers. Hardly anyone has any knowledge about the Weimar era.

winners write history. If you'll notice the "good guys" seem to win every war.

I have no idea what is real anymore. I know there are good people out there. That is what I know. And I know that we all need to guard our hearts and minds and not rely on our own understanding.

In German schools, there’s a weird historical gap between 1918 and 1945. Like the end of World War 1 resulted in an East/west split in the country.

The Yankees wrote the history after that war. The victors always write history.

I’ve been saying it all week: terrorist vs patriot is all about which side of history you end up on.
FYI, the US was quite involved with various Eugenics movements prior to WWII. It’s funny how no one really talks about that now. Wonder why?

It’s not as fake as it is scene through a lens.
Like the fact that the USA government created most of the terrorism in the Middle East and profits off of it.
