minus-squaremlg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months agoUS History (College and any sane public school) actually does do a good job of describing all the crazy stuff the country has pulled against people. It just conveniently skips explaining anything global in the past 40-50 years that has a direct effect on lots of things happening today. Stuff like SEATO, Israel, how OPEC was neutralized, Iraq, Iran, KSA, Israel again, Afghanistan, 9/11, etc.
