Stages of noticing
(media.scored.co)
Went pretty well actually. The class covers a large time period so not going into great detail on anything, including the world wars. Teacher is older lady and more open to debate than others I've had. I didn't redpilI on WWI much. She asked the class what we wanted to cover in the next class. I said I would rather go into the lead up to ww2 than ww2 and the class agreed. I brought up the holodomor after she clearly wasn't going to mention it and then went into how it was jewish led and that along with Weimar degeneracy led to Hitler and ww2. She covered the rise of fascism in Germany, Italy and Spain. I stopped her each time and mentioned how it was a response to Communism in each country. She agreed and elaborated surprisingly. So while it wasn't a conpro seminar, the "kids" in the class definitely walked out being exposed to things they'd never heard before and it wasn't "one day for no reason at all". Didn't cover the holocaust at all. Move into post ww2 tomorrow. We'll see what happens. I built my reputation as the smart old guy throughout the semester and now have rapport where I can get away with things and the teacher listens and the class know I'm not the crazy old guy. It's all been part of the plan and it's worked out great. Wrote a film review on Schindlers list. We'll see how that gets graded lol. Having a lot of fun and feeling good about the little I'm able to accomplish. We will cover Israel and Ukraine before the end of the semester. Should be interesting as well.
