I love seeing historic pictures like this that speaks of different times and in no way shape or form have any relation to what's happening nowadays so that we can look at how much further we have progressed from the past.

progressed from the past

And in some ways, regressed.

I think "ish" here is replacing the word "shit", it happens sometimes and I'm not sure where it comes from

[-] gnate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Ah, you mean like how we write "American's" to represent the people that belong to the set of people from America... Or maybe it's just a thing called "plural."

this is very confusing

is this from a movie? is he an actor getting paid to do that?

why?

also, Crash Course is releasing a new series focusing on Native American History

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago

why?

If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I'm not asking why. But I'm definitely getting him some nazi scalps.

IDK but all the men in my family from this generation wanted to go kill Nazis. Funny thing was that the military wouldn't let them. All of them were assigned to places in Washington State.

Imagine a bunch of Oglala men (that guy in the picture could very well be Lakota) being unable to fight in a war.... The Oglala were the greatest warriors in the American Indian wars
