Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

That's interesting, because in Poland 95% of all history you are taught is "and then they grabbed guns because they were just so fed up with their* shit" and from modern history it's mostly anti-commumist worker movements that were all about general strikes and loud, disruptive protests.
*Russians', Germans', Austrians', king's, ...
So us Americans do get some of "grabbed guns and openly fought" in the history of our revolutionary war, but its taught in a way that doesn't link it to any modern movements that armed themselves. And the people most willing to lean into guns and revolutionary war imagery/iconography tend to be far right wing (and against movement for worker's rights or minorities' rights or such).
