Definition of unpatriotized history

  • All patriotic messages are contrasted with an unpatriotized element. For patriotized history, the unpatriotized element is the unpatriotized history.

The question of recurrent items in this diagram element category

The unpatriotized element is not one of the diagram element categories for which there is a small set of items that are used over and over, so we don't provide a list of them here. While there are certain events that tend to be changed or removed from patriotic messages, the set is huge. Although there are certain events that get changed or removed over and over in texts about any one country in any one time, there are many countries where the US has done things at many different times, so the list is still very long. In future we may provide a partial list of these types of events, organized by country and time. Meanwhile, for people who are interested in recurrent unpatriotized elements, we suggest looking at the lists of patriotic changes, because the different examples of any one patriotic change will often show similar unpatriotized elements.
