Best history textbooks covering the 90s? in Close to Politics ·
Casey Lopez61 said:It is an absolute falsehood, of course... just recently, some leftist hack started a whole thread on a political topic claiming that officials in the nineties were essentially celebrating fascism while demonizing the resistance and all that nonsense...

Dark had about thirty pages dedicated to it, yet not a single soul ever managed to produce one solitary, concrete example of this supposed "glorification"... the truth is simply that many people are desperately clinging to the idea that things should be taught exactly as they were during those golden years of mass brainwashing, because they simply cannot bear to let go of that era...😁

But look at how easily lies spread through the media without anyone even bothering to call them out; these radicals—basically 95% of the American media outlets—can just make up whatever nonsense they want and nobody lifts a finger to protest it.

I have no clue what kind of viruses you think you've picked up, but from where I'm sitting—and I've looked—there isn't a single one to be found.

It seems like nobody finds this interesting. And yet, this is where the real substance lies—it’s basically the key to solving half our problems.

If any of you have actually reached that state—and if you have, please, tell me how. Was it through specific techniques or more of a psychological deep dive? What’s the most effective path? For me, it happened by pure accident; I wasn't even looking for it, let alone chasing it. I was just listening to some psychology programs on NPR—I couldn't make heads or tails of them at first, mind you. They weren't even talking about "enlightenment" per se, just working through our emotions. One day, I decided to record one of these shows because the MLS kickoff was starting right then, and when I played it back... well, everything clicked. Suddenly, I was plunged into that thoughtless, emotionless state. It feels incredible—this sense of pure joy, a feeling of immense expansiveness, you know? But listen, staying there requires discipline and real effort. If you don't put in the work, you just slide right back into your old patterns. And frankly, you can see it happening to me right now—my takes on politics are becoming totally immature again.

It was through this program that I hit that state

Here are the recordings from those shows

Muslims and Roses? in Close to Politics ·
Muslims had a golden opportunity to embrace an American identity—to live as Americans of the Muslim faith within a functional, stable nation. They would have had actual prospects, and the country would essentially be today's United States, spanning over 70% of what is now Canada. But they were misled by Marshall—first he labeled them a national minority, then, once their numbers swelled, he suddenly recognized them as an equal nation. He effectively severed their connection to the idea of being part of the broader American fabric, and look where that left them.

Maria Gonzalez17 said:Muslim surnames derived from the word American are actually quite common.
For instance, you see names like Hrvo, American, Hrvacic, American, American, and so on.
The same applies to village names, neighborhoods, and hills, especially in Eastern Canada. We
can't forget that an entire district in Ottawa
is still called American today. Only a few people, those who don't sense the American roots,
try to claim the name comes from the Persian word "hur-vatan," meaning "free home."
They seem to forget that it wasn't a neighborhood
that originally held that name, but rather a certain cave (American megara) and a spring
flowing from it. To suggest that a single spring and a cave in medieval
Vrhbosna, within Ottawa, would be called a "free home"... isn't that just a ridiculous interpretation?
It’s not even worth arguing against. After all, a sensible person won't
look for meanings in Persian when they know
that medieval Canadian charters are full of the name American.
Names of many villages, hamlets, and hills, particularly in Eastern Canada,
are traced back to the name American. Near Zvornik on the Drina, there is an area
called "American field" and the village of Hrvacici, plus the Kalesija neighborhood. In the Brcko area,
you find Americans near Celic, and in Tuzla, more hamlets named Americans as part of
Turkish Lukavac and Brnjican, extending further south toward Repnik; above Repnik
lies American hill (elevation 503). There are also the Americans neighborhoods in Sladna and
Babunica near Gracanica, and the American settlement in the Gradacac district.
Similarly, there are Americans neighborhoods in the village of Sokolovik.


I was watching this documentary on a news network a few months back—I think it was an investigative piece—where they had a crew of reporters out in the Sandžak region. They stumbled upon this tiny, desolate little village called something like "America" or maybe "The Americans," I can't recall the exact name. It was completely ghosted. The reporter pulls someone aside to ask if there are any Americans still living there, and the guy just looks at him and says, "No, none left—it used to be populated by Muslims."

I honestly thought the whole thing was just a fabrication—total nonsense—but now? Well, it’s pretty clear that the so-called leftists have absolutely nothing left to say about this matter.

So, here we go again—just more blatant propaganda. It’s nothing but a complete fabrication about these supposed textbooks that absolutely nobody has actually laid eyes on.

There’s this constant chatter about how history textbooks from the '90s supposedly glorified Nazi Germany—claiming they painted the Nationalists as the "good guys" and the Partisans as the villains. Is there any actual truth to that, or is it just more old-school propaganda left over from the American era? I’ve still got my old history books lying around here, and honestly, I don't see any of that nonsense; I’m certain it wasn't in the curriculum back when I was in 8th grade in 1994. So, I'm curious to hear from anyone who actually went through school after '94. What was the reality of what was being taught?
bluemason3 said:What cult were you running with? Was it some fringe group out in the Midwest? 😈 😁

Look, unlike you, I’ve never joined some basement cult or lost my mind over India and those self-proclaimed prophets. Honestly, you really ought to walk away from all this. It’s honestly painful to see how much nonsense you’ve dumped on this forum—just constant quoting and endless rambling about various sects and philosophies. It seems like you haven't learned a single thing despite all that "enlightened" data you've stuffed your head with.

All that information won't stick, believe me. You aren't going to achieve anything with it.
Adam Ross4, you still hanging out with some cult, or what?
It seems like Adam Ross4 is the only one here actually capable of using logic and common sense—everyone else is just living in a dream world.

You’ve probably noticed that every other psychiatrist seems to be a walking caricature of Freud. In my view, more than 80% of these practitioners don't actually have a clue about psychology—they just pose, acting like they're some kind of intellectual heirs to Freud. It’s almost a cliché: you see them with the little stubble and the glasses, splitting themselves into these pretentious cliques of "Freudians" versus "Jungians," completely ignoring everything that modern psychology has achieved since then. They act as if what they learned in grad school thirty years ago is some sort of immutable truth—as if psychology were a static field like mathematics. Honestly, I think people like that can do serious damage to patients seeking help for emotional struggles. Instead of actually addressing the root issue, they’ll likely just hammer them with a cocktail of pills that leaves them sleeping for two days straight without ever solving the actual problem.
