“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.”

I guess we are cursed with forgetting the past and eventually repeating the same mistakes.
Fuck, I read the title as “The percentage of [idiots] has been greatly exaggerated”. This is bad.
Other variables of the participants would be interesting too. Besides age, the economic background or whether or not their family have a migration history may be explanatory.
Gen Z are actually the greatest generation at believing what ever they see on the internet, their head is almost re-wired this way. More outrageous is better. They are even better at this than Facebook boomers and pretend to be self aware.
When math ain’t mathing, people ask questions.
when you get your degree from facebook with the modules broken down into bit sized memes what can you expect.
People that don’t study history, are doomed to repeat yesterday’s mistakes…
Imagine if Nazi-Germany won. History is made by the victors.
Critical thinking is not taught anymore, the education system is partly at fault but younger generations themselves are also at fault in my opinion. I am a millennial and when I was in school, I found already that most students were exceptionally passive, preferring to absorb the information given to them and regurgitating what they were told during exams, hardly participating nor asking any questions…
I’m not sure why it is, perhaps a product of the fact we were born and lived in incredibly peaceful and stable times which didn’t require us to “stand up” to anything collectively, we didn’t have social movements nearly as large and as consequent as the 1960s or 1980s, didn’t actively participate in any major political revolutions or were too young when they occurred. We are also the first generations have grown and lived with social media, which has surely had an impact and caused a change in values, what young people perceive as useful skills, knowledge and traits to have compared to earlier generations, and certainly damaged attention spans. Yet those aren’t valid reasons to justify figures like these, you can educate yourself on your own, the resources are out there and have never been more readily available than today, but you also have to want to be educated to get there, it can’t be done for you.
Jesus, those statistics are much much higher than they should be.
This feels a bit misleading, what is the methodology? How many people were asked? Where do these people live in the country side or city?
And why does it lump together people who outright deny the Holocaust with people who think it was greatly exaggerated? Because if the question to ascertain that was “Do you think the number of victims for the Holocaust are completely accurate” and someone says probably not then I wouldn’t call them a Holocaust denier.
