And now for something completely different......
"INSANE: Young Americans Don't Know ANYTHING!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufmcubp2szg
Truth or contrived video fiction? I will not say.
The video is either a tragic reality or a humorous few minutes for a Sunday morning.
I post as a comic relief from Covid antivax and political rigamarole
Here is another: "What is the square root of 4?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HusMMz1-8sg
Ignorant (and frightened) people are so very much easier to control: The highly effective strategy of the Democrat/Communist Party (many of which are just as irretrievably ignorant and irrationally frightened ... of most everything.)
It’s worth noting that videos of this type can easily be manipulated. For example, ask 100 people who won the American Civil War. Three people say England. Only show those three people on the video.
(My default position these days is “it’s a scam”. I dunno. Maybe I’ve become too cynical.)
Didn’t watch the video but the title reminded me of the old truism, “Your children will stop thinking you area complete idiot when they start paying their own mortgage and their own taxes”
Sadly, this truism is increasingly obsolete...as am I.
Saw a closing piece on Jessie Water show the other day with the questioner asking young people on the beach in caulifourkneeyuh about Memorial Day and what it meant. We’re doomed if those are the typical responses. Editing to make the number look larger of ignorant folks? I hope so.
Send your kids to government schools and this is what you get. But, wait, there’s more: if your kids are young enough, you’ll also get gay-indoctrinated gender confusion.
Yeah, they never tell you how many people they sampled, which would really help. It’s just too easy to make a single compilation of just the clueless.
They’re just acting dumb. Doesn’t mean they know the answers. They just don’t like their mental space being invaded so get on camera and feel like your opinion is important. While you’re at it give a non-answer. Doesn’t cast anything.
Every child should spend his first twelve years living and working on a farm before he is permitted to visit a large city.
We have to remember, there are a lot of conservative young people out there. Are there enough of them to change things? Who knows? Our stoopid generation has left them with a heavy lift. Go get em young man....and woman!
For example, ask 100 people who won the American Civil War. Three people say England.

Nobody won. Over 600,000 casualties and incalculable destruction.

The task before them is daunting. Demographics, culture and ethos in today’s iteration of America are strong headwinds.
“Every child should spend his first twelve years living and working on a farm before he is permitted to visit a large city.”
Rumspringa!
Works for the Amish. Very few leave, ‘the life.’
I think that’s right. Jesse Watters did a lot of this stuff, and I got the feeling he chose the most stupid to put into the video.
Or maybe I’m just an optimist...
This.
Drives me nuts when the firebrands on FR keep calling for CWII. They seem to know nothing about the first one.
Yesterday at church (I go on Saturdays as a Messianic Christian), our pastor told us of a video taken at University of Washington in Seattle. Someone asked, “If I, a white male, said I identified as a female Asian grandmother, what would you say?”. According to my pastor, pretty much all the respondents said, “If you want to identify as that, it’s your truth and perfectly fine”. The interviewer also asked what they’d say if he, at 6 feet tall, identified himself as 7 feet tall. Again, the same response...”If it’s your truth, that’s okay”.
Could it have been a joke? Possibly. But, given WHERE the UW is located, perhaps not.
Notice how these young people take delight in their ignorance?
But, I bet each one of them could list all the Kardashsians(sp) and their current and previous spouses.
The next civil servant ar won’t be as nice as the last one mostly cl ar lines and pretty uniforms.
Think more the Spanish civil war, not the blue vs. grey.
