Your problem is that, instead of encouraging people to learn, you're just dismissing people who don't know one very specific historical fact as "uneducated". People in Europe generally know that America is a democracy and many probably also know that it was the first modern one, but to an average European it doesn't matter that much that it happened in the 1770s as opposed to, say, the 1650s.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoIf you didn’t know it, why not learn it now? Here’s your opportunity, one of today’s 10k. Arguing you shouldn’t need to learn it isn’t impressive in any shape or form. It’s middle-brow level (non)curiosity, and less than welcome here.
- Tainnor 2y agoNever said one shouldn't learn new things. Just that it's unreasonable to expect that "every educated person knows X" - because time is finite.
