people: >:0
that's true
a lot of teachers have this bias and a lot of history classes cover up things their own
country did, and hold a bias towards it. they speak shit about all the countries did in the past but oh no!! our country bless, bless [country]
ok that went off track but i get your point
idk how to
formulate this bye
I mean.. no. It's mostly the triumphant that writes history the first time, I doubt that Germany is like "oh everyone was wrong we totally did the right thing" or that the Japanese learn that ofc it's okay to occupy Asia and treat others like animals. It depends, obviously.
What bothers me the most is when insignificant countries are like ah yes what we did was important, like no, it wasn't. It was completely irrelevant if some kind of knob from Oslo fought against the Germans because ultimately it was the Soviets that fought the Germans off in Norway so there's that.
no no, i meant that they cover up history. that some things are left unsaid, i've only noticed this in the swedish and american education though (the american... i'm not too sure how it went, but i saw a lot of people talk about it online so i'll take their word for it until i'm proven otherwise).
