Unsure what the implication is. The Kent State shootings are common knowledge in the US, it's taught in schools, no one needs to be tricked into knowing it happened.
You think that all people are american?
No...where did I say that?
Is there some other country that's dealing with a crackdown on student protests at the moment where referencing Kent State would be salient?
You’re talking like everyone is American, and knows all about this. I’m not trying to be a cock, just offering a little insight, it would be a bit like me posting to AskLemmy “what do you think the voting result will be then…is Khan staying?” …3/4s of Lemmy will have no clue what I’m on about.
No, I'm talking like the OP made an allusion to an event that happened in the United States. It's unclear what the OP is attempting to achieve by pretending the shootings at Kent State are some well kept secret.
Youve phrased it like you think everyone should know about the Kent State shooting. PSA ...this is an international website, people dont know everything that happens in the USA.
Nobody anywhere knows everything. This meme format is used for topics people feel are somehow covered up.
e.g.:
Kinda validating my point. I can’t stand when Americans ignorantly default to assuming everyone is American/knows everything about America.
The patient explainer. Kudos.
