Sad reductionist stripping away creativity to leave nothing but a hollow husk of bare information, as if all information must be presented in utilitarian brutalism exclusively. You're view is about as sad as your own attempts at passive aggression.

So in other words... literally people all over the world, not in the US. Because that's exactly what happens in China, hell even in Europe where they speak English...

As it has been throughout history? What is your point besides stating obvious, self-evident truths that have existed throughout history? History has always been written about the rich and powerful and privileged. You sound a little defensive, perhaps because you were not born into such privilege. But tell me, what have YOU done with your life that is so worth of note in history books? Because so far you are just a complaining pissant.
These are all very minute, if they even register, improvements when you step back and look at the grand scope of things...
