Americans actually don’t know ANYTHING about history and a lot of vital facts that the world knows intimately.

Frightening and overwhelming ignorance.

The most powerful country in the world is also the least educated. It’s shocking.

They say they don’t know anything about Hitler. Were they living under a rock or stupidity stupid. How dumb do you have to be to not know the name and what he did?

The crazy thing is, is Americans say Hitler or Nazis or concentration camps. But beyond that, they don't really know who the f*** Hitler was, or what the Nazis f****** stood for or what the f*** they were actually doing in the concentration camps. That's scary and I wouldn't wish this on any American to have to wake up that hard. Because if they only think it was just Hitler and racism, they have no idea what the f*** m************ in the camps were living through cannibalism. F****** doctrination, gasing. I don't even know how I can't put it in a nutshell. If it came to my house, I have a whole library, at least 50 books on World War 2 and at least 50 movies. All about nazi Germany. So if anybody wants to debate on anything go ahead and give me a jangle just saying it will be really sad, scratch that it is really sad that our country is as advanced as we are is starting to act like a f****** third world country with hatred.And all of the above

If the maggot king & maggots are successful over the next 3 years in destroying America … things can’t continue normally politically because the democrats will reverse everything … so the maggots are going to need to force in place a permanent authoritarian regime to force all Americans to adhere to their structures & ideology. America will be a dictatorship ran by the minority maggots forced to act, behave & live in accordance with their direction. ½ of America will hate & loathe the other half. America will no longer be America but maga Nazi fascist AmeriKKKa …

Oh, my God I say this all the time my hobby for the last 2 decades has been World War. Ii nazi Germany. I mean, if you come to my house, I have a whole library every f****** book ever written every movie biography ever made. I could tell you the names of all the captains and sergeants from the wearmock to the ss to the f****** SD to the anything. And everything, and I think it's good that people are aware who the f*** Hitler was. And what the ss was doing in the Gestapo, but that's about as far as it goes, they really don't know what the f*** happened, and until people actually know what happened. They're not even gonna know the extent of how f****** it is. Insane? And inhumane, how humans could possibly act mind you? It was supposed to be a 1000 year Reich, it lasted 11 years, but they didn't start rushing s*** until the fifth year. These m************ in our country, we haven't even been. We're not even in our second year. Okay, so don't say I didn't warn you.

I’m nowhere near as educated as you are but I have a few ideas about why some Americans don’t recognize the perils of NAZI ideology.

The US seems to have intentionally “dumbed down” your public school systems. Teachers are disrespected by parents and kids, not paid decent wages. Teachers are forced to teach to the standardized tests even though it’s not the best indicator of learning. And that sucks the joy out of learning. Meanwhile, vouchers are being used to funnel taxes into private schools that can choose their students and reject those who require minor accommodations

Politics has become another sport in America. To an outsider, it seems like you’re always in an election cycle. The dark money has infiltrated the political process and corrupted it along the way. It’s an effective in-group, out-group strategy that prevents many from considering the deeper issues.

The doctrine of American exceptionalism seems like it caused many to take your democracy for granted. It seems that too many are not aware of how the US is viewed by other countries, they just assume that their country is the “good guys” and forgo any oversight to ensure that’s actually true.

Sometime in the Reagan administration, the fairness doctrine was 86’d. Fox calls their programming “news” but it’s not truthful and that’s just accepted without question. The firehose of falsehood is incredibly effective for reinforcing in-group.

There’s more but that’s my first thoughts.
