>"woah they never taught me this in school!- it must be a controversial secret the establishment tries to keep hidden!!">it's a freely available Instagram reel/YouTube video/book on Amazon/academic journal which can be accessed on the open web without any VPNgenuinely why is this phenomen so popular amongst "history enthusiasts"?
>>18446931its pretty much a lite version of being a conspiracy theorist, they want the thrill of thinking they are doing something forbidden and being above the average person, but are to lazy to actually do said thing so they stick to things they didn't learn in school (or in some cases they did but forgot)
>>18446931>>18446934I bet you think Europa last battle is “forbidden knowledge” lol
>>18446934>>18446939We're literally making fun of people who think that stuff. It's always some listed YouTube or some shit titled "what THEY don't tell you!!!" or "don't want you to know!" I've seen one of those videos that still has monetized ads on it too lmao
>>18446931>"woah they never taught me this in school!- it must be a controversial secret the establishment tries to keep hidden!!">it actually was taught in school but they found history boring back then so they did not listen.
>>18446951I went to school in the 2000s-2010s in a decently middle class area and we genuinely were taught by enthusiastic young teachers who taught us basic critical thinking skills ("who wrote this, why did they write this, when was it written, who benefits from it" etc.) and how to conduct research on topics (how to read journals and indexes, where to find sources and read citations, etc.) and yet my friend then was still bitching about how "the system" was trying to suppress his genius and truth (which only he managed to find) or some shit lmao.
>>18446951>>18446968>tfw they legitimately never covered my favorite historical period/region in school aside from briefly glossing over itPissed me off
>>18446994What period and region is it?Can't imagine an Aussie public school would be able to go too in-depth about like, Baltic Europe in the 1600s
>>18446931Because they're retarded, that's it.
