They only dialed it up like 10% for that game. Not a lot of exaggeration was necessary.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

I was trying to explain this to a European and they really just were not getting it. "All countries have nationalism!" "all countries have exceptionalism!" : (

"No, like the American stuff makes Italian fascist art look tasteful."

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

To be fair many Europeans do think Italian fascist art look tasteful.

In 1976, a crane accidentally dropped The Rescue while moving it to a new Smithsonian storage area in Maryland, thus reducing it to several fragments.

fucked up content aside the white savior appears to be wearing a burger as a hat? what the fuck did those even exist yet

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

CW: racism

spoiler

Greenough wrote that The Rescue was meant to "commemorate the dangers & difficulty of peopling our continent, and which shall also serve as a memorial of the Indian race", but also "to convey the idea of the triumph of the whites over the savage tribes"

American whites on the North American frontier in the 19th century were every bit as evil and deranged and Israeli settlers in the West Bank are today.

I don't know why, but Athena chilling with Ben Franklin is the funniest shit

The deification of Washington and Jefferson in the US via statues and namings of roads, schools, parks, etc far exceeds the total amount of public respect (via statues, murals, etc) given to the Kim family in the DPRK.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

At least communist founders are portrayed as human lol
