Most people don't care because they benefited or at least they think they did from some or all of these atrocities.

Fed government used to give European immigrants free or cheap land and people think that's grate. They are unable or I willing to connect the dots on how that land was acquired. In their minds it is two different events.

Or banking industry being tied to slave trade but bring that up is uncouth in "polite" company.

The regime relies on people having these reactions, otherwise people gona start asking the hard questions.

The same kind of white washing efforts that's making places like Spain go fascist... Again.

And current. School curriculums are being actively modified to completely eradicate acknowledgement of our real history. It's tragic.

I tried to buy this book a couple weeks ago at a nearby mall at your recommendation and the propietor asked me to leave after he had to look up a summary to figure out what section I could find it on. Lol
