Do you ever question how the narrative shifted from class warfare to nationalism and war between capitalist states? The tragedy of World War One repeated on a smaller scale?

They give McClellan bad intel during the Civil War, allowing the South to extend the war for three years.

Weezer band member idiots: " The Pinkertons sounds bad rear end"

People who have no idea about history: "Yeah that sounds like a cool idea, it is great that you know a little bit about history, unlike me, your agent"

Recording company: "Hey these guys like what they like, and they are succesful with their one song that was ever good, Buddy Holly which sucked really badly, but it sells, lol what the gently caress did they say their album name is ok god drat that is stupid but whatever they can sell their poo poo, they know how to sell garbage poo poo which belongs in the trashcan for morons, good for them"
