I was always under the impression Brits were more knowledgeable on history than us Yanks. Perhaps I was wrong or British education has degraded to US levels.

Extreme snowflakery.

What in the world is an “instagram influencer”?

[C19fan]

For some reason, Millenials and Generation Zers follow certain people on social media.

Part of that is simply having a history. We only go back 200 years. They had a heckuva lot going on with their little island for 1000 years prior.

What in the world is an “instagram influencer”?

Usually some vapid twit who posts pictures all day hawking products that they get for free because they hawk products and post pictures on Instagram all day. Some make millions of bucks.

Norm MacDonald has a couple of funny jokes about WWII —

“I don’t care what anyone says — I think Hitler was a bad man.”

“I don’t know if you guys are history buffs, but I’ve been reading about WWII, and I’m starting to not like this Hitler guy.”

The jokes are funny because everybody knows about WWII and no one disputes the evil of Hitler. It’s so obvious. But, if we can keep future generations ignorant, Norm’s jokes stop being jokes at all.

Their mental health is already seriously damaged from all the propaganda and untruth that they have been fed by a decadent society which holds TRUTH in contempt.

Reality will devastate them when it comes crashing down.

But you can't feel sorry for them. If they were not such spoiled, self-indulgent, intellectually and morally lazy fools, they would have demanded TRUTH long ago.

They are already out of school

Sugar coating life. Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

They know that they beat Germany and tell the Germans that at soccer games. People know there was a blitz. Probably a few names are still current. I don’t know if their knowledge - or ours - goes much deeper than that.

What a frickin' whimp.

Ping.

I guess that he’ll avoid learning about Stalin’s Purges, Mao’s mass murder, etc.

Anything that was good about the Brits looks to be a thing of the past. The Marxists have just about destroyed everything good worldwide except in the United States. But we’re certainly not immune.
