Your first example is more like one of those fun facts that are wrong. It doesn't even matter. The second one was true or partially true. An economic embargo is no reason to attack a country. The third one...you should really sue the school if they taught you that. No serious teacher would say anything like that.
That's not an ideology, it's bad teaching. And while not knowing your history is bad and can affect the way you see the world and hence your ideology, it is not nearly as bad as directly indoctrinating kids to make them think exactly what you want. I mean, we're talking about identity politics in math, not a history lesson that missed some points.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe US Embargo on Japan had the explicit intent on weakening the Japanese economy in order to facilitate future military action. Japan attacked in no small part because they thought that if military confrontation would be inevitable, then would be the only chance where victory was possible. There were certainly teacher who would say the last one not even that long ago. It's unacceptable practically nowadays because of wokeness. And yes, that is ideology. Actually, thats almost exactly the essence of ideology. Worldview!=Ideology.
