Tulsa race masscare. I had an American flatmate who hadn't even heard of them before. Apparently not something they were taught at school.

Here in Sweden we had the Ådalen shootings, which lead to decades of social democracy and improved worker's rights. It's all going down the drain now thanks to the bourgeoisie and alt-right influence campaigns.

I love the collapse.

    There are a lot of bad things covered in our schools, but that wasn't one of them. I learned about it from an HBO show, sadly enough. We did learn a lot about the massacre of the Native Americans. I certainly don't know much about other countries checkered past, but something tells me they editorialize their history when they can. Heck, I know the UK wouldn't have time for Maths if they tried to cover all the terrible shit they've done (I know the US wouldn't either).

    Here in Sweden we definitely didn’t give much room for the horrible stuff we got up to during WWII.

    We like to pretend that we were neutral, but we were rather on board with the Nazi philosophies in a lot of ways. Racial biology was a big thing, and we did experiment on our native population.
