Ahistorical both sidesing garbage. Read a book some time, TV pop culture and Reddut comments aren't a substitute.
It kind of takes learning reality to understand contextual differences.
It might sound lazy when people tell you to educate yourself but that's what is required.
If you want to be spoonfed an education on history you should take a history class.
Don't be a condescending prick, comrade.
They're definitely misrepresenting the situation, like @ComradeSharkfucker explained, and I think it would be great if someone could make/share a FAQ so we wouldn't have to keep typing this by hand. But telling people to read a book some time is the arrogant crap that alienates us from the people we need on our side. More people are reading this than the person you replied to.
They are here in bad faith and treating them like someone here in good faith is civility fetishism. There are also already plenty of comments providing correction.
Be direct and honest with people.
