I'm Spanish and I remember how "clean" they made it look. In particular, I was curious about they saying the natives had "semi-slavery". Jokingly I asked of they were slaves but had weekends off, but the answer was "they were slaves, but had names".

history in schools always was just a bunch of propaganda of a given state

if an history class doesn't make you hate the past, it's propaganda

you aren't killing me, it's more like putting me to bed for the night, giving you some time to live your life.

I'll be back next time you forget.

Except for the history taught in my school.

...Right?

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 21 hours ago

uh huh, cuz our school is the only right one comrade lmao

it's really easy to tell if what you're reading is history or propaganda (or, in more mild terms, a biased view perspective projection). Scientific history doesn't operate in the "who's the wrong one?" realm of questions, purely studying the context, as the casuality chain of any historical event can be traced back up to the big bang if you ever so wanted to. Callng any side to be wrong is inherently political.
