I learned about all that in high school, but it was AP. Generally though, the extent of modern international history taught at American public schools rarely ventures outside of Western Europe.

People love bringing up the holocaust


But where is the uproar about the half million Gypsies who were murdered in the holocaust? The only explanation I've heard is: 'Well, every country in Europe hated the Gypsies.'

Why is the poliboard giving a pass to a second Holodomor currently going on? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I think most people (who are aware of them) fully-acknowledge the wrongs of the CCP in the Cultural Revolution and (for instance) of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

The Holodomor is harder for some to grasp, because people were not lined-up and shot or herded into execution chambers. On its face, they died of starvation during a famine. You have to look deeper to see anything more than that, and most people never bother to look beneath the surface.

Yet I bet 90% (at least) of the American general public couldn’t tell you a damn thing about the Holodomor. Or the gulag archipelago.


This board won't read more than three sentences unless it's related to food or travel. What did you expect of everyone else?

If you want to get these soft brains to latch on to anything, you will have to provide pictures, and appeal to their emotions, for without that they are useless and will simply gloss over it. Critical thinking is absolutely not something that drives them. It’s why they are so easily manipulated to action in this country. If it appeals to their emotions, and can make them look good in front of their peers, then they are all about it. Otherwise, critical thinking that deviates from their pack of numb skulls requires real courage, and why have courage when you can feel good and people think well of you that you find useful in life?

You know why, but we aren't allowed to say.

Lets just say they are prominent in media and finance.
