Dixville posted:Not to defend her, but some people that have to work with very difficult stressful jobs that involve death and pain/ suffering will use humor as an outlet for that stress. I know it doesn't seem funny at all, it's actually extremely awful but I'm just saying this is not uncommon to see with people in the medical field especially, gallows humor type stuff that's hard to get when you aren't in on the joke because you don't deal with death in your work. Like I wouldn't have laughed at that at all and I'm not saying it's good that she posted it. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it and make it make sense. Maybe that's my mistake. This is from a while back but yeah. I had an older friend who passed away recently who was a paramedic. He told me about his first night on the job. "I wasn't shocked by what I saw, but I was shocked by my coworkers joking attitude." Then he soon found himself cracking jokes along with them. He explained it like this, "If you don't laugh, you get sad. If you get sad you start to cry. If you cry, then you breakdown and you can't do your job." I also had a friend who worked in a bar and the guy who owned it was the local undertaker (something strangely common where I'm from). My friend said he would drop things in conversation that would make most peoples hair stand on end. I'm not trying to defend elise, I honestly don't know much about her or that saga.

It's a thing that happens with all kinds of people, even parents and pet owners; making casual jokes about weird, gross and/or terrible poo poo they deal with enough that it's become routine, because it's just a part of life.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:This is actually referencing another video where some LPer with the nerdiest possible voice insisted that it was a reference to Skyrim and not, y'know, the Wounded Knee Massacre. I remember the quote "Booker DeWitt, wounded in the knee." Real gamers know that they’re both ultimately referencing Turtles in Time

As a non-American, I'd never heard of it before playing Infinite, and I just assumed it was some battle somewhere (or possibly even fictional). It's really not as notable here (I still know pretty much nothing about it).

In my experience that is kind of taught in the last few months of history and it gets zipped through because of poo poo there's 2 months left and we gotta get past WW2 and we're at the civil war.

In my schooling, any events that night remind the students that American westward expansion was conquest instead of expansion into mostly-empty land was conveniently skipped over, including Wounded Knee. I had heard the name but knew nothing about it

Said aunt grew up within an hour and a half of Wounded Knee. poo poo, I grew up there too and didn't learn about it until after we moved.

I had heard the name but knew nothing about it Yeah this is depressingly common, or the trope that they were welcomed onto the land by Native Americans. Most history books gloss over the extermination of Native peoples and takeovers of their lands. Even when they do mention it (Trail of Tears is a great example) it's usually only a paragraph or two before getting back to "here's what we did with the land". Never mind the fact that a lot of Native people were forced into "Christian" schools to be "civilized". Fun fact: you can actually blame Texas for all of this!

i think it's legitimate and fine for a non-american to be unfamiliar with historical us atrocities. like why would a brazilian guy learn about wounded knee in high school or whatever? much less excusable if you're from the us though.

I guess things are really different in different parts of Texas. I learned about all of our atrocities and how bad they were in school and I went to school in Texas.

Yeah we in WI learned about Wounded Knee; it’s also really easy to pass all your history without actually learning the things that happened though. In my experience the class was either someone reading at you for an hour or putting on a video and falling asleep.

I once saw an American goon get indignant about the existence of residential schools in Canada who believed that no such thing had ever happened in America. Sometimes people just don't get taught things. School system's a bit of a gamble.

To be fair the US policy was less 'resident schools for 100+ years to erase culture' and more of a 'we tried, can't civilized these savages, dump them in lovely areas and let them call it their own land' and then just let every exploitive business imaginable set up shop 5 feet across the boundary line.

pentyne posted:To be fair the US policy was less 'resident schools for 100+ years to erase culture' From wikipedia: American Indian boarding schools, also known more recently as American Indian residential schools, were established in the United States from the mid-17th to the early 20th centuries with a primary objective of "civilizing" or assimilating Native American children and youth into European American culture. pentyne posted:and more of a 'we tried, can't civilized these savages, dump them in lovely areas and let them call it their own land' and then just let every exploitive business imaginable set up shop 5 feet across the boundary line. the american indian wars my guy

USA also had residential schools and a long inglorious history of trying to school Indians on how to be god-fearing WASPs. Dartmouth, of all places, was founded to train Indians to be Puritan proselytes—“civilizing and Christianizing the children of pagans” is still in the charter iirc, or at least the Dartmouth alums in my family trot it out whenever they hear about students doing crime The land clearances and other ethnic cleansing stuff was also going on often at the same time, just to be clear. But yeah the residential school thing is not unique to Canada

Also the American frontier was way more violent, from the Mississipi to the Pacific was basically one big racist warzone for decades
