That’s what they’re saying today.
This is because of our abysmal schools which no longer actually teach history. The Times knows this, because the Times has been complicit in the Gramscian damage done to our educational establishment since the end of the 2nd World War.
To fix this problem, we need to start teaching history again, not “social studies” and propagandistic crapola about how all cultures are equally wonderful and should be celebrated as such. All cultures are NOT equally wonderful, and quite frankly, some of them should be permanently erased from the face of the planet. (If you want to know which ones they are, consider which ones get a free pass from most of our shitty media — not the ones that are constantly being beaten up in the UN General Assembly.)
A nation which has forgotten its history will not long endure. I hope I don’t live long enough to see that denouement.
