And that's because now we are two, three or four generations removed.
The reality is, is that many people don't really know what the history of World War Two really was and what the Holocaust was.
You know, millions of people literally were just killed.
You read about it in history, you learn about it.
But you're thinking, oh, well, that was, you know, forever ago.
The world's changed now.
But has it.
Really?
I think it connects directly to present day.
Holocaust should be a warning to what happened when you had hate crime and you had all these issues and someone who was very, very powerful.
Because people in Germany sadly clung to what he said.
They listened to everything he said and they went with it.
He basically pitted people against each other.
It's terrifying.
I remember watching the Insurrection live on TV.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this is happening like in our country.
Some people are Republicans.
Some people are Democrats.
You're looking at the world that used to be so much more unified.
But that doesn't mean people can't work together.
You can't even talk to people anymore.
These philosophies, a lot of them are the same in nature, but they're different.
Then you get to social media, which can either be a really great thing or a really bad thing.
And I feel like politicians today, they they use Twitter as like like a weapon.
Social media influencers, you have politicians.
You have very powerful people that can spread a message very quickly and misinformation.
It spreads really quickly across social media platforms like Snapchat or Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Twitter especially.
But there's no way to stop misinformation.
It will always be there.
When misinformation and disinformation is repeated over and over.
And it's almost like, if you appreciate America, then you hate everyone else.
And that's a terrible message to bring across.
Where do you think it comes from?
Anger.
He basically said that the Jewish people are to blame for World War One.
They're to blame for all the economic problems in the country.
Being angry about one topic or one thing and hating someone else because of it, because people don't know how to channel anger.
Life's too short to be spending so much time on hatred.
You could be spending so much more time on love.
So why spend time on hate?
