This is nigh impossible to answer. I need to know everything you've been taught before I can decipher what you've been lied to about.

>>424401462 youre right, i definitely could have worded that better. well i'm from australia, and i got thinking, if all of a sudden all of the media said things like "america is spreading lies saying our soldiers killed and raped entire villages in X country" to try and cover something, how many people would believe it? what has australia (or america, britain etc) done that has been kept from us? for the record im sure my sentences still sound like im retarded.

When I was a kid we were taught about how great this Revolutionary war hero named George Rogers Clark was - how he captured a British fort without firing a shot was generally really cool guy. The George Rogers Clark trail was nearby so he was a local historical figure I guess. Years later I read an unvarnished biography of the guy - he was an appalling, savage psycho.

>>424400853 The myth is that lies are uncommon, or that complex conspiracies happen. Human life / society is propagated, supported by and made up of lies from little white ones to big giant ones. People have a difficult time analyzing this because we are "cells" in a giant machine, our perspective is highly limited as individuals and the bigger structures in society have an interest in keeping us ignorant. OP what do you think about this? Mankind is not the prime organism on this planet, ideologies are.

Random guessing time: -Small unofficial wars/assassinations in Asia/Africa/South America -Biowarfare capabilities -I suspect we've had some dodgy voting stuff happening with electronic voting Having spent a good deal of time in China, Tibet isn't a secret. What the gov't has managed to do is make people look down on Tibetans as inferior or suspect citizens.

>>424402365 the bigger structures as you call them (im assuming you mean governments etc) definitely have an interest in keeping us ignorant, otherwise everything would be out in the open. but why? why would it hurt if everyone was taught about the japanese american internment? it really seems like it would bond us together a bit more, instead of being taught that only the opposing side in the war did bad things

>>424403248 It does so immensely. Even if non-Chinese versions of Tibetan history are taught, no one gives a shit. It also means Tibet and its natural resources are seen as a complete waste on the Tibetans.

>>424403417 Same here. History is written by the people who are left. It's best to educate yourself and to do it properly. There's nothing worse than someone not investigating multiple sources of information and then drawing conclusions based on articles and texts, without looking for multiple viewpointt.

>>424403859 In that case (and since you brought up Tibet), you could look at actual Tibetan history. For a good while, the Tibetans were the warlords, invading China and destroying their cities. They've got quite a complex history. If you're American, you should really try to find out more about the US gov'ts history in South America and the interventions (read: wars and assassinations) they've done down there.

>>424402817 I agree with you. Unfortunately the vast majority of citizens wish to be ignorant, they wish for life to be easy, and they want to feel good. This is a recipe for disaster. No one wants to have a serious discussion, learning is stigmatized and ignorance based ideologies such as nationalism and religion are given room to spread. Flat out, people don't want to think, they want short term rewards. Getting a pay off through thinking takes a long time, getting a payoff through non-thinking you get a very quick payoff. No upper class conspiracy to eliminate the middle class is truly necessary, people have done it to themselves. The root problem is that human emotions and survival instincts are wired for a short term payoff, this was supremely necessary when survival was our main concern. If you don't go find shelter, food or a mate immediately you could die in the next hour from starvation or exposure and your genes wont get passed on. I feel like I'm rambling. tl;dr The primitive caveman wiring in us makes us desire quick pay offs. Thinking is hard. Shut up Oog and eat steak, fuck cavebitch.

>>424400853 i dont know but, thats the kind of thing im always talking about, when you're conditioned to believe that the world is completely normal, anything straying too far from the norm is considered crazy, regardless of whether its true or not almost every person in a high position of power is evil, which is ironic because in 99 pct of movies the good guys win, we're conditioned to think that, when really its the complete opposite, the person willing to step over other people to get to the top, will get to the top its really a corrupt system, but i dont know how to fix it, maybe if we judged politicians on morality and not political experience, but idk, fuck everything lol

do people who arent from australia know of ned kelly? if so, without googling him, what are your opinions on him? here in australia were taught (well i was) that he was a bushranger who stood up for what he believed in, pretty much a robin hood kind of story. the reality was quite different, i guess like george rogers clark

>>424405448 Absolute ideas of good and evil are silly. The reality is that everything is a shade of gray. All people in positions of power being evil is a mythological construct. I would wager that most of them are decidedly normal. The true rule that governs things is Darwinism, not some sense of morality. Good and evil are imaginary constructs.

>>424406294 American/Canadian here (dual citizen, grew up between both, slight more time in the US). We learned about him in school in Canada, but I've never heard him mentioned in US schools. A lot of Americans know the name though. Most people seem to have the folk hero idea of him, although a few (including the teacher who first told me about him) had him pegged as a selfishly motivated criminal who was later adopted as a figurehead purely for being anti-authoritarian.

Op, not sure if you can get it in your country, but there is a book called "forbidden archeology" by michael cremo. It is full of historical lies, lots of stuff that is never talked about because it goes against the established history.
