  • I’d like to prevent many tragedies, but I’m not sure a single book would change history. I can actually imagine it going very wrong…

    Mein Führer, this book here explains our theories about the origin of the German population and about the natural maliciousness of Jews are wrong.
    — Let me see… Lies, all lies! This here is evidence of their pervasive propaganda against the aryan people.

    — Witchfinder General, a book had arrived… from the unknown.
    — What kind of sorcery is this? “Witches do not exist”. “…These trials were the result of ignorance and greed”. What in the name of God is this blasphemy? A powerful witch is near and these are her evil tricks!

    So I need to think of a better plan, lol.

    Don’t you know? They rewrote history and geography so they get to be the only Americans, while the continent is divided into North and South. Forget all the maps, documents, letters, and stuff that referred to the New Word as “America” for centuries. Forget about the first national documents in countries like Mexico referring to themselves as Americans. Nope. They get to steal the name because #power.

    So now it’s time to read the “but ‘United Mexican States’ is Mexico, so ‘United States of America’ deserves to be America”, ignoring the fact that Mexico derives from the native name of a portion of Mexico City, so it’s not remotely the same (see first paragraph).

    This comment answers the AskLemmy about things that annoy me…
