Canadian academic Jordan Peterson warns that socialism is so appealing to young people because they are “unbelievably ignorant” about the history of the 20th century.
During an event hosted by The Heritage Foundation this week, the clinical psychologist and best-selling author said that millennials are embracing far-left ideology because they weren’t taught about its disastrous outcomes at school.
“People are unbelievably ignorant of history,” said Peterson. “What young people know about 20th-century history is nonexistent, especially about the history of the radical left. How would you know? They are never taught about it so why would they be concerned about it?”

no their parents were first dumb.
And the video link is where?
a recent quote from one of Freepers:
“...The indoctrination project by the libtards in charge of education for the past 30 years is bearing fruit,..
...The majority of America’s youth today are nothing more than spoiled, selfish, narcissistic babies, who have zero common sense,...”
FWIW, those traits are common throughout what used to be known as Christendom. In my country, it goes all the way to the top with Dear Leader, trust fund baby, Justine Turd-owe.
I think Peterson changed his mind about that. One of the dumber things he ever said though.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”
—Ronald Reagan
I don’t know that the old man’s advice has been followed nearly enough, or by nearly enough people. And now we have the masses of young people who have spent their entire educational careers being propagandized by false ideas, and intentionally kept ignorant of what true freedom is, and what a rare and precious gift it is.

He can’t be right all the time.
Yeah, the kids are basically American Soviets. Of course, that is because it was actually the Soviet’s plan.

It is appalling to me that young people have not been taught history, and I don’t know how it can be remedied, at this late date.
I give him a mulligan on that one.
I believe Peterson walked back that comment. Watch him at recent liberty university convocation.incredibly powerful experience. Peterson has been studying and teaching the Old Testament as literature for years. I believe he’s now studying in the new Testament, and I believe he is going to be dramatically born again, as a result..
Forgetting the indoctrination propaganda centers the parents are paying to re educate their little ones. Revisionist history is a major
Whenever the word “fascist” gets thrown around, it’s a perfect opportunity to remind people that Mussolini was a hard-core *socialist*...editor in chief of the Socialist newspaper Avanti.
His (and Hitler’s) break with the socialists came with his *nationalism*, not really with any fundamental economic disagreement that I can see. And this is why socialists are so reflexively paranoid against nationalism, and believe (wrongly) that all nationalism is fascist.
Socialism is the nurturing mother of Fascism and Naziism, and we should never let them forget it.
