    Yeah, the way the history books painted Hitler was like he was a supervillain with the power of convincing people to do what he wants. Now I know that’s probably not true and that the Germans were probably just dumb as fuck pieces of shit that would’ve hammered their own faces if they were told to.

      There were already plenty of examples to show that making people viscerally hate an arbitrary group of people is incredibly easy. The Stanford prison experiment is so well-known because it perfectly outlines our own innate desire to fit in, even when it means becoming evil, despite how much we want to convince ourselves that we’re above it.

  If history is taught correctly, they will know that Americans of today are propagandized to hell by the capitalist oligarchs who are fighting tooth and nail to maintain the hierarchy. That the coercive structure of the capitalist system left people alienated and disenfranchised and largely unable to overcome the sea of misinformation designed to isolate and divide communities.
