thinking about how not only my brain problems but also the way i was taught history in school has just completely fucked up my sense of time
#watching a video and was shown a picture of a person in colour#and then was told that it was like 40 years ago that that was taken#and it felt like i just got kicked in the spine like. what? colour photos? that long ago?#and then i realize that 40 years ago was only the 80's#and then like. how some things in history classes were framed to be older or more recent just to fit a narrative#like how most pictures you see of MLK are in black and white to put the thought in your head that this was Forever Ago#there are photos of that man in colour. they just never show them.#because this is Ancient History of course#but then things that were split by centuries are framed as all being homogenized Oh Here's Those Three Ancient Guys#bc they Only teach egypt greece and rome bc obviously nobody else fucking existed around then#what do you mean humans have been in north america for millenia whites were the First Ones To Find It#and it was So So Recent ago that sometimes ppl still call this place The New World (it's not. fucking. new.)#but also slavery was So So So long ago look all of that was in the past and it's history and we don't need to worry about it bc It's Over#(no it's fucking not. prison labor and outsourcing labor to countries with a lack of labor laws is still fully slavery :)#i love how sometimes the shit the right complains about is also the shit they fucking caused#like 'everything's made in china nothing is American™️ anymore >:('#but then immediately 'why should we pay people to work >:( i'm gonna make other countries work for me bc they're cheaper >:('#i hate this shit i wanna just become moss
