    There’s ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn’t enough or doesn’t work.

    We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,… and yet we’re here.

      We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We’re here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK’s I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There’s lots of room for improvement.

      Trying to educate people who insist on being lost beyond salvation is a waste for everyone involved. If they love the sword so much, let’s let them die by it and let’s move on past their era.
