College kids don't know who Hitler and Stalin are or what they did. That's the scary takeaway here.
another piece of interesting history : stalin and stalinist russia stopped and changed the tide of the war so that germany was stalled.
the appeasers Chamberlain and Churchill nicely got awarded bravery awards in britain. ( and churchill is equally responsible for the bengal famine that killed 4 million indians) .
Well the kids of today have been served a steady diet of tripe in the schools that America is evil, the rich are bad, Conservatives are greedy, Global warming will kill them, while Socialism is good and the Democrats actually care about people.
What are we to expect from young people that have been raised to think with their feelings while being given everything by their parents but discipline ?
Do the kids of today even have the capacity for critical thought?
Is actual American and World History even taught in schools anymore?
Hitler was a demon that murdered millions of people while Trump is doing the best he can to make America Great for Everyone. There is no comparison.
The least I expect is for them to know the villains of the 20th century who murdered millions of people. At least identify them by sight, even if they don’t know all there is to know of them. To understand that being “childish” is not as bad or worse than killing millions of people. Sheesh! They’re a bunch of idiots, and they go to college! It’s astonishing how ignorant people are. Even if they deliberately edited out the interviews of people who did know that stuff, the fact that there are enough ignorants to fill a video segment is enough to make me feel sad for them.
Maybe I expect more of people than I should. After all, there are a bunch of college kids who routinely wear Che Guevera shirts and talk about gay rights. They’re ridiculous.

5 college kids think Trump is worse than Hitler and Stalin. The remaining 50 million do not think so.
But who cares about the vast majority when we can use the extreme outliers to demonize the opposition.
Oh come me on man! You know they aren’t outliers. They are the average. And if you don’t think so, why not go to a college campus and do your own experiment? I’d love to see the results.
The problem with kids today is they never had to work for knowledge. It’s always just a click away. They are the generation with the most access to information...and disinformation.

Most of Stalins murderous purges occurred BEFORE the war with Germany, so odd to try to give him a pass due to "fighting the Nazi's".
Then for good measure, the Bengal famine started with the Japanese invasion.
So honestly, you make excuses for Stalin for what he did before the war started and then blame Churchill etc. for actions after the war started but apparently give a free pass to the Japanese.
I'm not following your logic.
