If you manage to pass through primary education you are going to get a purely cursory run down of history. Even still, in primary school with AP courses considered you’re still going to get the Pearson Approved version of history (or your national equivalent) unless you have a truly based teacher, in which case at most you’re getting the Howard Zinn version of history, at last in America.
In collage unless you’re majoring in history or some form of humanities, you’re getting the required 101 history courses which I’m sure are not much more advanced then your 12the grade history with simply more writing and reading to do.
Underestimation is I think a bit of an understatement when most bourgeois education is going to ignore material history as a baseline, let alone discuss history and economics in any systemic way, which would absolutely require the level of knowledge you have. At most you’re bridging into the CRT class of history, which is often a kind of material analysis that is lacking a class analysis that comes to any conclusions on those class lines.
Unfortunately, much of your knowledge is relegated to the all-you-can-eat-trivia-night-wing-basket of history (no offense). The kind of display you put on is like a parlor trick to most average individuals. To be met with a “you must like trivia” when making a point using historical materialist facts. For those who have never had their worldview challenged, its like bringing a revolver to a fist fight, except you don’t know its a fist fight, and your interlocutor has never even heard of a revolver. One shot out of the barrel puts them on guard, they complain that you’ve broken the rules of the fist fight, and that what your doing is clearly disingenuous. No honest person would do such a thing, they imagine, and therefore you can only exist as a dastardly do bad. Meanwhile you are just trying to discuss History, on some objective bases.
