I feel really bad for kids in public school right now learning about concentration camps in holocaust for the first time, because you know that's gotta be confusing as fuck to come home and see everyone cheerleading Israel on the TV doing the exact same shit to Palestinians, then you go back to school and read sad stories about the worst thing that ever happened in the history of the world ™

But it's not framed that way, and a lot of children won't see the similarities. I may not have, once upon a time, as critical thinking isn't encouraged at school. There are many things I think about in relation to economics and foreign and domestic policy which I had to have pointed out to me by more experiened leftists. This frustrates me, as I should have been able to spot these glaring double standards and errors by myself; it also makes me worry about the children of today, who may go their entire adult lives without encountering anything which intellectually challenges them.

Sure, but the ones that do see it are going to be very confused, and God help them if they try to ask an adult to explain
