Holly hell what a moron! (guy in the video not the poster).
How can ANYONE not know about the massacre at wounded knee its a pretty famous historical moment, shit i know of it and im not American so its not part of my cultures intimidate history (which the doufus in the video clearly sounds like he is).
The idiocrisy is well and truly in effect isnt it......
Never heard of it. Only heard about it thanks to Bioshock and just assumed it was probably a real thing. Apparently I was right.
Get taught no American history over here in Aus, unless you take history classes I guess but even then they mostly focus on the Cold War, WW2 and various revolutions in high school. Funny thing, the end of year year 12 paper last year had a picture of I believe the "Storming of the Winter Palace" picture/painting/W.E. In it there was a Mechwarrior 'cause apparently they just get these pictures off Google -.-
Really I'd consider it somewhat like Gallipoli. Probably big in some parts of the world - we sure as hell learn about it - but I doubt its something that everyone knows, or even most people. Historic battle for Australia, but I don't expect less related countries to remember it the same.
