if we’re lucky, there’s be a paragraph about it between to the paragraph about the trail of tears and the other paragraph about martin luther king jr in american history books.
I highly recommend Lies My Teacher Told Me, American history textbooks are fucking garbage lol
For example, that the US Army hunted buffalo to near extinction specifically to starve the plains natives, it was a deliberate strategy of using starvation as a weapon. I was taught it was just “”“poaching”“” from settlers and that it was all an accident.
that and A People’s History of the United States informs most of what i know.
i also marvel from time to time at how the bullshit that i was taught when i was young can still completely overpower the things i learned in my young adulthood; and it somehow got worse once i reached middle age.
I won’t reveal who reports who, but I will say it was someone else.
The civility rule is NOT ambiguous:
“Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members.”
i was wondering what you said since i can only see that it was removed.
i’ve used milderer sarcasm than you have and my own comments have likewise been removed; i suspect that the fraught relationship that lemmy.world has with the rest of the lemmyverse is fueling overzealous moderation.

Removed, civility.
Which part was not civil?
Calling another user “shitlord”.
Did @[email protected] report me?
Either way, it was sarcasm
the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something

It literally doesn’t matter who reported it, you broke the civility rule. Had I come across the comment organically I still would have removed it.
Don’t attack other users. Full stop.

Yeah I figured you would have picked up on it based on your comments
It was something along the lines: “but have you thought about the right of rich Americans to defend themselves, ****Lord”
