  1. Jesus H Christ! Is the millennial generation really that fcuking ignorant? And what of the subsequent generations? Is failing to teach relevant history too inconvenient?

    1. Actually the generation following the unmes seems to be shaping much better. For one thing the Gen Z appears to be endowed with naturally fine tuned BS detectors. Same happened to people who grew up under communism. Rejection of political correctness is the new counterculture.

    2. The current generation would either march to the camps or force you to march to the camps, they really are that stupid.

      1. They are a product of the school systems and we know what’s being taught and what’s being left out by the product that comes out. History can’t be revised so it’s ignored if it doesn’t fit their doctrine.
        We have a socialistic society, we let it grow to full bloom.

    3. I think the kids probably tune out during history class if they have history class at all. In Canadian schools history consists of learning about how evil whitey is and the holocaust. That’s pretty much it. I wouldn’t blame them for tuning out.

  2. Distance weakens historical remembrance. Baby boomers(like myself) had parents who lived through those
    trying times of The Great Depression and WWII. I don’t recall that much was actually taught in my history classes, I personally
    devoured the war books laying about my house(both parents were overseas vets) and was essentially self taught. Then I sought out books about those times in the library. I don’t recall any history class session actually mentioning the mass murder of the Jews. I am saddened about this mass ignorance of that great historical upheaval.

    1. Canuckguy NB – you got me thinking.

      I went to school when history was still taught. I loved it and read history as a kid but I don’t recall anything being taught about the Holocaust or Auschwitz. In the 60’s at university our professor suggested the 6 million number was false as ‘there weren’t 6million Jews in all of Europe’.

      I have 3 grandsons not one of them know history. Current events maybe but history……wat dat?

      1. @abtrapper:
        I am curious what university employed that holocaust denier professor.
        Most kids, if they get any history at all, it would be by watching “Game of Thrones”

  3. Could just be the third generation rule. The first generation (after) remembers. The second generation knows. The third generation doesn’t know and doesn’t care.

  4. If Jewish history has a moral, it is this: Many nations have tried to destroy Israel. Every one of them is now extinct.

    If history as a whole has a moral, it is this: every time it repeats itself, the price goes up.

    If the globalists refuse to learn from the history of Babylon and Rome, and to permit children to do so, they are condemned to repeat it. And this time the price of their vanity and defiance of the God of Israel will be the extinction of the human race, if not all life on earth.

    The nations have two choices: stand with Israel, or die with the Philistines.

    1. Oh, I totally agree. I love history and yes it does repeat itself when people are too ignorant to learn from history. And one thing history has taught me is that those who stand with Israel and God, prosper. Those who don’t, suffer big-time. Just think of Germany, France, Spain, Italy and to some extent, Great Britain of today.

    2. Actually I’m pretty sure Jewish history, at least the one in the bible, is all about genocide and wiping out undesirables.

  5. Canada is the only country that deports Holocaust deniers to Germany while importing them from the Middle East.

    1. Welcome to socialist liberal values. The left also deny the killings by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc.

  6. when i was in school during the 70’s, we regularly had survivors come in and speak with us. and they weren’t all Jewish. we had a Catholic brother come in and speak to individual classes during the day. Brother Stan described his horrible experience in a “work camp” as a Polish Catholic resistor and all of the people that he were killed while he was imprisoned. he still had his death number tattoo on his forearm

  7. The joys of multiculturalism, you don’t need to know anything about any culture or its past. It only matters that you declare them all equal.

    And then they are surprised when they eventually realize that Chicoms or mooselimbs openly despise them.

  8. The reason they quit teaching history is so the younger generations will accept socialist dictators without question, not knowing how things have always turned out in the past, not to mention festering hatred for others who think differently, again, as in the past.

    1. Not really, they were raised by the state to a much greater extent than in the past, and that is the problem.

      1. They were and are being raised by the state and their parents know no better, they too are products of the evolving socialist doctrine.
        Look around Canada now, we see an all encompassing religion being worn in our streets, it’s creeping into our political system and it will creep into our laws as well, it’s already there with Charter rights and multiculturalism to support it.

  9. The Millennials may not be as stupid as the previous generation… They are not investing in a Stock Market that Tanks every 7 years and cleans out all the fictitious gains….. A Stock Market that hypes stock beyond a reasonable value is FAKE! They may not be WISE about past History, but they may be protecting themselves from predictable poverty….

    1. True, mellennials may not want to invest in the stock market, they just want us all to waste money on global warming prevention.

      All millennials should read Matt Ridley’s book ‘The Rational Optimist’ and then pause to deeply reflect. The population of the world is much better off now than at any point in history.

      To all millennials, “you’re welcome”

  10. I don’t think blaming those millennials is one hundred percent correct, look at the quality and quantity of socialist/communist teachers currently in the education system. These uninformed miss guided kids are exactly what their teachers want them to be; Dumb ill informed not able to do critical thinking and easily led where ever the y want. It’s sort of you get what you payed for… just my 2 cents worth…. Steve O

    1. Worse still, to top it all off, look at some of the professors who are tenured in our universities. These people have no history with our way of life, should we question their motives, are they here to tinker with it? Fancy any of our professors going to the ME for example and being tenured in any of their higher learning institutions. They wouldn’t qualify in Theocracies.

      Can we trust exchange students from some parts of the world? Is it smart? Is it safe?
      I remain a skeptic and more so with the present government in this country.
      This is not about race, it’s ideology /doctrine….there is a fine line.

  11. “Millennials: The Dumbest Generation in History?”

    Dumbest in history,
    math,
    geography,
    chemistry,
    physics,
    biology,
    english,
    etc., etc.

  12. White Christians are the next Jews … however … I expect that there won’t be 3-types of Camps … only the Death Camps. Piles of NASCAR T-shirts and MAGA hats …

    1. Kenji, I will suggest that the NASCAR T-shirts and the MAGA hats will be very busy removing those who want death camps from the equation on a permanent basis.

  13. Ignorance of history is important in repeating it, hence the ignorance of this particular genocide.

    But millennials can virtue-signal and put condoms on bananas. That’s progressive, right?

  14. No matter how much we prattle on about ignoring histories lessons and then repeating them, that is exactly what we do.

  15. Incorrect.

    The dumbest generation is the one that raised the weather underground generation. The dumbest generation is the one that voted for Carter after defeating Hitler. The dumbest generation gave up the government, Hollywood, universities, grade schools, charities, to communists.

  16. For almost 5 years, I volunteered at a middle school in my hometown. The smart kids were smart in English and computers. The dumb kids were very good in art and graffiti. On a map without the states and provinces named, about 90% of them didn’t know which way was north. They were pretty sure that there were oceans on the sides, but that was about it. I know why the smart teachers leave. They get tired of hitting their heads on the wall.

    As a young man living in West Germany, I visited Dachau. As an adult I went to Matthausen and Auschwitz. I became an amateur student of history. I wanted to know why wars started. I wanted to know all about what happened all over the world. I just don’t see that hunger and searching in our young people. That happened because we gave over teaching our kids to “professionals”.

  17. Bolsheviks say history begins when it suits their agenda, although 1848 and 1917 are important dates to remember. That may vary as the proletariat needs to be dumbed down. Drugs and free lunches help.

  18. I’m sure they don’t know about the atrocities of Ghengis Khan and his Golden Hoard, the Crusades, the Siege of Vienna, the Barbary Wars, the Mediterranean slave trade, the expansion of the Islamic empire, the Gulags, The Holodomir, or the Armenian genocide either. There are many topics in history that they know nothing about.

  19. They are dumb because the state doesn’t educate them and the institutional left knows that “conservatives” believe in socialized education so that won’t change…… for the better.

  20. I have said this many times but mainly in a work context. There are more ways to communicate than ever in history and communication has never been worse.
    Sadly though, it may not all be the millenials fault. Our politically correct leftist education system balks at teaching history as it occurred and would rather teach history as they wished it had been.
