Comrade Fakename posted:Why would you expect the vast majority of people to have learned history beyond that? For most people in the UK, history goes like this: Now times The Beatles and the Swinging Sixties WW2!!!!!    ??? WW1, Queen Victoria and the British Empire! ??? ??? ??? The Tudors! ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Caveman times, probably? In the year 263, England was part of the Roman Empire, an earlier name for the EU.

no, history did not exist before 1066 and also the Brits did nothing wrong ever (at least that's what I was taught in school)

As his dad was apparently dead and later recovered, have we ruled out the possibility that he was actually an alien with regeneration powers?

Personally I don't see why a historian would be necessary for a show about woodworking. I mean you're the one that brought historians up, though it doesn't seem to be working out for you too well so I understand why you might want to pretend you didn't

88 being a Nazi thing is not that arcane a piece of knowledge to have. You don’t have to be terminally online to know one of the single most famous Nazi symbols in modern history.

justcola posted:I thought just being on the internet for longer than 5 minutes would show you enough obscure references (to Nazism) you might look into it. Even just googling 'common nazi symbols' brings up a bunch of stuff. It'd be like if they did a show about chasing tornadoes called Stormfront. Be right back, writing a quick pitch to The History Channel.

I feel I have a better understanding of Tik Tok than facebook, as I don't see any reason why you'd use the latter nowadays. Just full of absolute garbage, even the Daily Mail is more left wing than half the poo poo on there. As Liverpool, Lancashire, Manchester and now Sheffield are on Tier 3 lockdown, are the government just moving left to right on a map of the North deciding where goes into lockdown next? A lot of the comments by MPs and Mayors remind me a bit how nobody really said anything in the last ten years of austerity, but now that BUSINESS is under the boot and they can't get a rent holiday or afford anything, this seems a step too far for some. Nothing will happen of course. Yorkshire next, then onto the next map; Birmingham, Leicester and the mysterious 'East Midlands'.

Don’t rule out the possibility that the win for the nazis is “evidence of left wingers destroying our traditional open culture with their intolerance (of massive loving nazis but they’re confident the news won’t present it that way).”
