The Left Dangerously Brainwashing Millennials Believe That George Bush Killed More People Than Joseph Stalin
Why do you say that, when you own link says otherwise? It says nothing about brainwashing, it simply says many millenials are unfamiliar with Stalin. There is nothing new about youth being ignorant of history, but even so, the very title of your own link says only about one third of the millenials think so, and the actual survey shows is was not even one third. Can you read?

A British tabloid, owned by Russians that you misrepresented. Nowhere does it say that they asked only millennials, and nowhere does it say that the poll is scientific in any way. People who read this newspaper are generally not the sharpest knives in the drawer because, like I said, it's a tabloid. Calm down.

Of course you do. Politicizing, and finger pointing is practically a national pass-time these days.

I admit being ignorant in my youth, but I take responsibility for not paying attention in school. The good thing is that people vise up, and study up as they get older. It has always been the nature of things. Thanks to the internet, learning and researching has never been easier, but other things occupy the minds of the youth.

Millennials believe George W Bush killed more people than Stalin, finds survey | The Independent
Almost half of the Milenials and probably most of Generation Z are non-white and of foreign origin. They have exposure to news and history that's different from that which is written in the United States or Britan, the home of the newspaper cited. They know of the violent repression in Latin America under the CIA and of the recent wars in the ME, Eastern Asia, and Africa from which many of them fled. Bush is not a fair comparison to Hitler or Stalin as their tenures were far longer, and some of these foreign actions extend from before Bush's administration. Hitler's reign of terror lasted 13 year and Stalin's ran for 30+ years.

Liberals wouldn't know honesty if it bit them in the face, so I didn't expect any of them to comprehend that post.

That seems to be a fake article. Try to find the survey the article refers to. There's a link to it. A link that doesn't exist. Or maybe the survey was removed because it's false.

Having said that, if more millennials believe that, I'd say that shows their lack of education and internet skills, since that information is easily obtained on the internet, and they certainly weren't taught that in school. I don't know about the U.K, which is the country that article is for, but in the U.S., liberals aren't telling millennials or anyone else that Bush killed more people than Stalin. That's as ridiculous an accusation against liberals as it is a statement. Only an idiot would believe it, in the first place. The liberals don't need to traffic in outright lies or conspiracy theories, because the truth is so powerful in itself.

You dug up a zombie thread only to whine about a dead link and then demand OP find the original survey? CD posters are getting lazy. I dug up the original annual survey (there have been 2 since) for you as my education and internet skills aren’t lacking.

Here’s the 2018 annual report.
