More History Channel.

Used to be some really good shit on there that would teach you interesting history. Then it turned into Ancient Aliens bullshit.

It was even better when it was just the WWII channel 24/7.

Disagree, constant glorifying of war is never good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not sure the shows glorified war. Are you of the opinion that history should be ignored and swept under the rug or do we agree it should be studied and understood?

One could argue that telling people every ancient thing we don't understand was actually built by aliens is worse, at least the shows about war are based on fact.

There's a difference between sharing information and a river of glorification.

Not all the WWII history shows glorified it, but lots of them did and did often. I've heard too much about the brilliant tactical minds that ensured the fall of Nazi Germany and paved the way for democracy and freedom. Too many tank battles are called great, and not enough called tragic. Famines and desyruction of infrastructure ate often mentioned for their strategic effects, and rarely for the rapid destruction of society they cause.

Listen to the rivers and the lakes that you used to.

By having one of its members die in a car crash?

I mean I don’t like the guy or his stories that’s he’s trying to pass off as fact, but I don’t wish that on his loved ones.

No. I'm talking about "The Learning Channel" which started off as a genuine educational TV network that eventually devolved into producing nothing but utterly worthless reality TV slop.

I think they're talking about the people who made Midnight Rescue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don’t know what that is.
