Date: April 22nd, 2026 1:48 PM Author: Guy Debord Watergate is the most overrated news story of the 20th century -- of course boomers LOVE Watergate. Great Depression is correctly rated. Indirectly led to the welfare state, Hitler, etc. |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 1:54 PM Author: Junko Enoshima Overrated: the Declaration of Independence: the British Empire peacefully banned slavery 30 years before the US killed a million Americans to do it, and the Brits didn't even need any highfalutin rhetoric about self-evident truths to do it.
Underrated: The Industrial Revolution and its reception in the United States. |

Scumbags probably needed to learn more about Antietam and Appomattox whilst Losers needed to learn how to replace an air filter and change a tire.

Date: April 22nd, 2026 5:35 PM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. history education in the US is generally extremely bad and the kids remember almost nothing, so in some sense, it's all underrated. but objectively 'overrated' content would be regime narratives which calcified into 'history' for political purposes. something like 'the underground railroad' didn't really exist as advertised. it's a function of regime narratives from the WWII era designed to suppress racial unrest in the US.
one category which is absent from a lot of US history teaching is the indian wars. not 'custer's last stand,' which has also become a regime narrative over time. but the actual battles and campaigns which defined the borders over time. even battles the US lost, like st. clair's defeat.
i suspect this is because it 'frames' US-native relations in the 'wrong' sort of schema, as one of mutual combat, rather than one of unilateral victimization.
demographic shifts in american cities in the 1960's are hugely important to the modern nation (whites fleeing crime and supercharging the suburbs, etc.), but stuff like that is way too politically-charged for the system to touch. |
