This is the logical outcome of a certain party both pushing an identity of male-dominance based on toxicly masculine characteristics, and who also cozies up to White Supremacist orgs like the Proud Boys.
The GOP is and has always been a fertile recruiting ground for white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, and the “manosphere” has accelerated the spread of their core rhetoric (which includes Holocaust denialism) geometrically.
Don’t forget successfully making editorial demands of publishers:
One in five young Americans are fucking stupid or horribly misinformed.
I once witnessed a German person explaining the holocaust to an Israeli person. The world is collectively getting more stupid.
Edit: maybe it isn’t, but social media is definitely helping us reach our stupidity potential.
The world is not getting more stupid, cross-generational memory has always been flawed. If we want to give new generations the tools to build a better future, we either need to teach them to learn from our collective experience (history) or to think of consequences ahead of time (futurology and ethics). Otherwise they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
GOP: mwahahaha… excellent!
They don’t seem to teach it in school in a lot of places.
also one is in 5 actually listened in grade school and learned something.
