   I don't suppose it will make you feel any better but I'll bet   
   substantial numbers of the graduates of our Canadian "schools" and   
   "universities" have similar beliefs, even the ones without all the metal   
   imbedded in their faces. Actually, I'd be shocked if many Western   
   countries don't have similar rates of historical illiteracy. It would be   
   fun to make graduates throughout the West watch that video and then ask   
   them to indicate true or false just to get some stats on how many people   
   have been brainwashed. Of course it's not just history from centuries   
   past: I'm sure many MANY young people will recite the "fact" that   
   millions of people have been "genocided" in Gaza and that Israel   
   practices "apartheid" and those are things happening NOW which are   
   easily disproved.   
      
   And then there's the grammatical illiteracy. When did "genocide" become   
   a verb?   
      
   Mind you, that may be an artifact of the rules of platforms like YouTube   
   where you can't say "killed" so you have to say "unalived" to get the   
   point across. I am NOT amused by that weird form of censorship, nor am I   
   amused when someone does a comment video about something and virtually   
   every word is bleeped out and sometimes the video is hopelessly blurred   
   so that you can't even make out what they are upset about.   
      
   How has society morphed into this thing where absolutely everything   
   Western seems to be treated as the most hateful, oppressive thing ever   
   and calls for murder of our own people are routine yet free speech is   
   increasingly suppressed to the point that our delicate snowflakes can't   
   abide a video that shows someone saying "shit" or "fuck" or a person who   
   has been killed in some act of war or terrorism. There seems to be a   
   massive streak of Puritanism running through these revolutionaries....
