    No, not really. There’s a lot of whitewashing of US history, especially in textbooks. If you ask the average American they wouldn’t even call anything the US did “genocide.”

    I recommend reading Lies My Teacher Told Me.

      That’s what I mean. The US is built on genocide and colonization just like “israel”, but they try to not be open about it.

        Oh no that’s new. Back when the genocide was in a more active phase and there were “Indian Wars” they were very explicit about it.

        But today, you’re right, they just teach a few key atrocities and handwave the other hundred million. I must have misread lol

        I think that’s just the different stages of settler-colonial development.
