Where were you when PragerU started dropping videos about historical figures and how did your sanity do upon viewing
#morbid curiosity is a terrifying thing#mfw an educational history video for kids no.195478 is focused more on twisting history to fit an ideology rather than presenting facts#I only watched the Columbus one I truly hope the rest of the series isn't this bad (cope)#each “caramba” that man lets out I could feel my soul being crushed#ohhh those poor Floridian kids#I would go into more details about everything wrong with that video but I think I'd save the essay writing for a later date#(I said as I am typing a Tumblr tags equivalent of one)#I'm not crazy invested into American history (nor am I American myself) but can someone tell me why Columbus Day is such a big deal in US?#I'm genuinely curious#iirc Columbus fucked around in the West Indies and a little bit around Central+Northern South America#(technically North America yes but not *specifically* the US)#(I also see some sources claiming he's been to Florida but only for a bit? Not too sure)#and opened a floodgate for European colonists...That's about it?#he had virtually nothing to do with the founding or unification of what makes America well. America?#or is this a “founding mythology” type stuff? lmao#prageru#history#benny's chatterings
