Fun fact: The CIA invented the term conspiracy theorist to cast doubt on anyone who questioned the official story of the JFK assassination.

Bonus fun fact: History is full of examples, going back to the ancient world, of rich and powerful people secretly conspiring together to increase their wealth and power.

Knowledge of history is a crime... Or soon will be.

Only if you know the real history! So many of my idiot, leftist friends think the Indians were peace loving people and that all white people owned slaves in America. One of them is a history major too...

Just ask them who the cowboys learned to scalping from lmao.

My general stance is that every culture or nation will do something shitty in its timeline. Moorish invasion of Europe. Crusades. Hitler. Trail of Tears. Uyghur Muslim death camps. Therefore no culture can claim to be morally superior and no culture deserves to continue just because it existed first: see Aztecs and Mayans.

History is being rewritten in near real time today. This election is just one example of many.
