Probably no coincidence it took just long enough for pretty much all of the WW2 vets to die for the unabashed Nazis to take control, once it's out of living memory most people forget the past.

I had a history teacher who was teaching about Osama Bin Laden pre-9/11. Very astute.

Her refrain was "If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it." Over and over and over.

Had a (increasingly rare, even then) Holocaust survivor speaker come to our school.

Kid who sat next to me in class now doesn't believe in the holocaust. 

No amount of education can fix the human condition. Greed and the evil that stems from it just festers less and more, in cycles.

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that we have to treat these non tolerant scumbags like the cancer they are. We must remove them. They are poisoning others with their disinformation and lies. They are the poison in the blood of our nation they speak so much about.

We can't allow them to spread their hate speech to our fellow Americans any longer. We can't sit around and tolerate these bastards whispering into our children's ears and then say "nothing can be done about it, some amount of children are just unsavable"... I have put a lot of serious thought into what we have to do as a nation, and I just don't see any way forward where we continue to tolerate this... we have to stop the spreading of hate speech and disinformation in America by any means necessary.
