Remember the Maine!!!
I had an APHistory teacher in HS who was well versed in our governments use of propaganda and war to drain the Public coffers for their own use. He spent a lot of time with us trying to make us understand how government isnt there to help the People but to rob them. This was during Reagan's first term and most of us at that time were extremely Conservative and after the Carter years and the subsequent economic growth after the 1980 election, along with the geopolitics of Iran Hostage and in sports, the US Olympic Hockey win, Patriotism ran high, so we were a tough sell. You had to live through the 70s to really understand where we were in 1981.
But he pounded us with this theme over and over and his main weapon was the Spanish American War and the real reasons of the Maine FF was to steal the highly profitable Philippines and Cuba from Spain.
Although I wasnt totally convinced, I respected him more than any teacher I ever had and his lessons stuck with me. He was probably the biggest influence when considering how I began my red pill journey with the assassination attempt on Reagan, the Bush family ties to the Hinckleys and the gun grab of the Brady Bill.
