Comment on Don’t Be a Sucker (1947) U.S. anti-fascist short film
your_good_buddy@lemmy.world 1 day agoI watched this short yesterday, it’s a lovely piece. Most of us weren’t alive in the 1940s. That wasn’t us, it was our grandparents and great grandparents… “the Greatest Generation” of Americans.
We like to take credit for their achievements in WW2 without much thought about the historical context that led to the rise of fascism and tens of millions of deaths in that era.
We’re on track to be remembered as the “Worst Generation” if enough Americans turn out to be suckers.

Tbh “Worst Generation” isn’t nearly as bad as “Last Generation” or “Still Not the Worst Generation”. I’ll take it.
