Dude every company does this shit. The whole “announce something twice as bad as what you wanna do so you look good when you roll it back” schtick is as old as sliced bread. I do it to my wife all the time.
Sometimes the find out nobody really cares and they get to do the even worse thing. It’s a win win.
I don’t understand what you mean. You want an example of a history book that isn’t propaganda? Wtf if your goal here? Pick any history book that just tells history. What a stupid question lol
You want an example of an American history book that’s taught in schools that ISN’T American propaganda? First of all, I’m not American. Second of all, it’s a ridiculous ask for someone online to look through curriculum textbooks and find one example of one that isn’t propagandized for you so you can make a point. Like, it’s such a silly ass request that I almost didn’t bother responding to you.
I think I have better intentions than the American propagandists that make the curriculums. I don’t think “telling weird lies about the founding fathers to make them sound awesome” is a necessity, and I question the ability and motives of anyone who makes that part of the curriculum. I didn’t realize this was gonna be a controversial take.
I agree with this comic. Maybe I don’t understand what you were trying to say originally. It seemed to me that you were saying that it was okay to skip the history of other continents to teach only localized history.
I’d argue that world history is more informational and important to make civic decisions, especially in an imperialist world power like the states, than simply localized history. It just seems highly propagandized, and ignores almost entirely the global impact of the actions your country takes.
“Unprofessional” as if being a shitpost mod on lemmy requires or deserves any level of professionalism. It’s the furthest thing away from a profession. You’re hilarious.
It’s not just the CEOs, it’s the shareholders taking the lions share of the profit as well. Workers have been left behind when the efficiency of a company has been calculated and the benefits of the labour have been divided.
Why not just use a different app or something. I use Memmy and there’s zero ads.
