About time fb started taking this kind of misinformation serious. From the article I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact
>>According to a recent survey of adults in the US aged 18-39, almost a quarter said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, that it had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure.
Like how does something like this even happen in a first world country, as someone from outside the US someone who grew up thinking the US had an excellent education system and kids there had more access to data the world and almost everything, I honestly am having a very hard time processing the fact that this many people believe the holocaust didn't happen or was exaggerated. Is this a failure in the education system? Like, what the hell is this?
- ShamelessC 6y agoThat survey question seems psychologically primed to get people to doubt themselves enough to agree with the third option (weren't sure). A better statistic would be just the number of people who believe it to be a hoax. I hope that number is much lower than 25% but the past four years have showed me there's a much larger threat of bigotry and fascism in America than I could have ever imagined.
