  I live in one of those “never forget” nations that promised to never forget something… but it seems that we, too, managed to forget.

      It is more that the rich ensured that education focused primarily on the aesthetic horrors of fascism rather than its material origin. The impetus for bonapartist tendencies was never removed so it eventually returned as conditions necessitated. They rich could not admit it was the system they uphold and benefit from that gave rise to fascism without endangering their positions.

        I want to invite the “aesthetic horrors” but it’s not “the rich”. It’s just human stupidity and laziness in trying to educate children.

  Or he just didn’t pay attention in class when it was taught. A lot of students treat history as irrelevant. It doesn’t help that a lot of public school history teachers are the equivalent of a dad watching World War 2 documentaries.

      I’d say they made the attempt, but if he didn’t listen that much, the problem is them passing him, not attempting to teach him.

        that is definitely a problem of the US education system. The “no child left behind” policy is absolute garbage.

    He doesn’t look that young. I can’t imagine somehow missing the post 9/11 fallout and the war in the Middle East. The 20 year anniversary of it wasn’t as extravagant as the 10 year. But as an American it was kinda hard to ignore.

    If he’s from outside the us and like just turned 18 maybe. But like how does one even miss all of the memes about it? I guess even those have died down too.

    source

    • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      He doesn’t look that young.

      Eh, 9/11 was ~25 years ago. And if we assume that a child under the age of, say, 5 wouldn’t be interested in such things and wouldn’t be exposed to it much, especially if not in the US … then someone could feasibly be up to 30 years old right now and have been too young to notice or care when 9/11 happened.

      And I don’t know about your age standards … but this guy looks like he could easily be under 30.

      source

      • fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I’m very squarely in that age bracket and it was hard to ignore 9/11 if you were at all exposed to any media. I can’t imagine anyone 25-30 managing to entirely ignore 9/11 even without teachers talking about it. Maybe someone with the absolute peak of sheltering could ignore it. But outside of that I can’t imagine anyone in the US 25-30 having no clue.

      i’d say anyone under 35 wasn’t really aware for it.

      source

      • anguo@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        35 might be an exaggeration, they would have been around 9 years old, old enough to remember something.

        source
      • Bytemeister@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah, this is definitely wrong. My younger brothers are significantly younger than 35 right now, and they still remember where they were when it happened.

    History teachers in grade school seem to be either great or terrible. Nothing in between.

    I can see someone born around then or after not understanding the scope of the event. I can think of things that happened when I was born or just a kid where even knowing about it later it just seems like something in a book. You can't know what a world was like before an event if you weren't aware of it.

    How he escaped ever seeing more about it online is another thing, but then again I see lots of reaction videos, many that are probably legit, of people who never heard or saw things, even if they've heard references to it. It's yet another XKCD Ten Thousand moment.

  When I was in schools, American history was Pilgrims, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, The Great Depression, and WWI. Then it was summer. We might have a school assembly in February to talk about MLK.

  source

  • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If you were to ask my teachers, American history goes revolutionary war, then nothing happens for awhile, then the civil war, then nothing happens for awhile, then WW1 had to happen so that we could have ourselves a WORLD WAR TWO! The four years that make up 9/10ths of American history. And then the Japanese signed the surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri and then stuff I-the boomer history teacher-personally remember so it legally can’t be history.

    • mineralfellow@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s so great that the US single handedly won the only war that ever happened in Asia. Good thing there hasn’t been any major conflict on that side of the world since then.

      • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It’s kinda clear how the curriculum was designed, after all according to this class Japan was only discovered in 1939. Russia pops in an out of existence, Korea and Vietnam are fictional and Africa is where Egypt is.

    Did you finish school prior to 2001? Cuz, I mean, that’s everything I learned in school too at that time.

    But my daughter is 13 now, and I can confirm that she has been formerly told about 9/11. I don’t think with as much detail as she will learn in her during her high school tenure, but she at least knows about it.

    • chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh yeah. I was in high school when 9/11 happened.

      • prettybunnys@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        My son asked me if I learned about 9/11 in school … and I was like uh yes, in a way.

        (I was sitting in my psych class watching it happen live)

  • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yep. And with each successively later era in history being more and more rushed because the history teacher was always behind schedule and the big standardized tests at the end of the year ate up a lot of time.

    And then next year, in the next history class, you start over at Pilgrims again!
