#Tomorrow's history is today's politics lads. Don't forget that.

Tbh the whole 'bloodclan bans families and hates Cat God' thing really reminds me of the anti communist bullshit I was fed in highschool history class.

Every day I count my lucky stars that I got educated in a well-funded school in a blue state. My teachers were shockingly good in hindsight, I didn't get half of the same propaganda some of my friends in other states got.

#One of the coolest things that we did in my high school history class was #My teacher actually taught us the dawn of the soviet union and the rise of stalinism #AND THEN pulled out a book they had to read in their college course! #Which taught the SAME story from the other side. Exactly as a teenager in the soviet union would learn the story #It blew my third eye RIGHT open #And I think it became downright formative because I've never been able to look at the concept of history lessons the same way #Both the American story and the Soviet story framed their home nations as the righteous entity #And I guess the narrative concept of 'framing' had never felt SO REAL before #Same events just described differently... how much can change from wording #And later that year when I learned about the american whiskey rebellion I thought of a farmer uprising in the soviet union #Yknow. Thinking about it. I wonder if this at all contributed to why I made the Educator role... #Tomorrow's history is today's politics lads. Don't forget that. #And they will laminate the shit and the mud along with the truth. #Bone babble
