Non-U.S. citizens can likely answer the majority of these questions. We'd probably be better off as a society if we understood our history better and had more aware of other thriving countries to learn and collaborate with.
Europe here. I could answer pretty much all of them. Wasn't sure on the dime thing because we just use cents with our Euro currency (but I googled it and now I know) and was a few years off in regards to 1776.... 1492 is a more important year for us, that's when we sent our boy over lol. I'm not from the UK, maybe the Brits remember 1776 better haha.
Im russian-canadian and I answered msot of them, I didnt know about the civil war specifically but it makes sense. I know the stars, stripes...basic math. When he asked the 60mph question I would flipped it on him and said, "96 kilometers, am I correct?" (did that conversion in my head)
Ever read the book, "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America"? Henry Lamb had some interesting things to say about it too in a speech he gave on Agenda 21.
After I watched this video the 1st time, I asked my Gen Z son and his friends (all 18 and 19) these questions, and they got them all right. So all hope isn't lost.
I did the same thing with my 14yr old. I also gave her 10 questions in random, off the citizenship test, every week during summer break. I will be damned if we expect a non us citizen to pass this test, and my child not be able to answer them.
@@8minato Idk about you, but Geography was a subject all in itself during my years of general education. History was separate and didn't blend together with Geography off-rip...
He asked "if you're traveling 60 mph and you've driven for an hour, how far do you travel?" She said 20 mins. She isn't even hearing the question. She's just blank up there thinking about best tiktok twerks
A lot of the mistakes these kids make seem to come from hearing ONE word of the question, and free-associating from that, e.g. the word "war" triggers associations unrelated to the rest of the sentence.
@@faithlesshound5621 Sure, and if you believe that then you are a type of person who "makes excuses where there are none"!! First, the one young girl (question asked: which two fought in the civil war--answer: Nazi's and Germany) who could name all the Kardashian's without missing a beat. Secondly, notice what most of those young people are wearing; New York City for some "Gay Pride" event is my guess meaning this is what Gen Z is being taught in their school system.
I'm kenyan and i could probably answer all the questions he was asking. Seeing American teens struggling to answer questions about their own country is mind boggling
the teachers in american public schools don't care. they don't make learning fun or interesting, they make it as dull and boring as humanely possible. it almost seems like they're trying to discourage kids from learning on their own.

They should be ashamed. Of themselves. Idk what general time span the birth of gen z is considered to be but I was born in 93 and this level of stupidity is mind blowing even to me. It just occurred to me though that while people are quick to marvel at the ignorance of this generation, they just as quickly forget this is the result of the nationwide negligence of our children. Which no one pays much mind to until it dawns on everyone that these are the folks we have to depend on moving forward. So idk what had everyone too preoccupied to care but they sure as hell gave a damn now, when its not quite too late but pretty fcking close.
Liberals statistically are better educated ,that’s a fact. Facts are pieces of information that can be verified with real evidence. In case you were confused.
- "Can you name 3 countries besides the US?" - "I suck at History!" I don't know WTH the US education system is doing that these people can't even distinguish between HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY!
@@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 ikr here in my country (and a lot of other countries (probably more than 175)) ppl arent that bad ngl an 8 or even 7 year old knows more history and math than these people and those kids have a huge disadvantage of not having a fully complete brain too and they still are more knowledgable
When I see videos like this, it's much easier for me to grasp how painfully easy it is to decieve the general public. What hope could folks like this have to discern fact from fiction and lies from truth? Let alone make an informed decision or even form a cogent opinion.
My first thoughts ... I'm gonna start scamming people, something I normally wouldn't do cause I'd feel bad, but these people deserve to be taken advantage of.
I'm glad other people notice this as well. They'll lap up anything they are told by the media yet don't know simple, simple things like these questions.
Gotta love the American education system, i mean seriously ngl when i got here it was so shocking how dumb the classes were lol, im not even that smart, but God damn bruh.
It's not just that they're wrong but that they're wrong ON SO MANY LEVELS. And they don't even understand the most basic categories: seasons are months, time is distance, geography is history, continents are countries, states are cities...
C'mon man. You know as well as I do the people in this video would put Brawndo on their plants. Because they stay glued to social media and advertising, they'd even know the slogan - "Brawndo's got what plants crave! It's got electrolytes."

I saw this video the other day and immediately showed my daughter the video, pausing it for answers. Thankfully she got them all or I was going to feel like such a failure. She's 12 by the way
I’m not embarrassed. I’m not them. I’m not their teachers or their parents. Those are the ones who should be embarrassed. That said, the US education system needs to be burned to the ground.
This is sad but thank you for bringing this to people's attention. We need to be made aware of the failure of our education system here in the U.S. Keep up the good work!
I don't think it's the educational system I went to one of the worse grading schools in my state and I didn't turn out like some of my friends even though they got a diploma and I dropped out ....come to think about it I might be the outlier
Not exactly dude they being going to school like half of there life reason because its not system people are using smart phones just text messages and send memes etc etc today school mostly social life talk to you friends having good time about i got better clothes or better phones going high school and middle school as well doing dumb shit pranks ,party ,all time maybe drugs maybe its the smartphone i dont know
@fggw2 …..I hope you know that your plethora of solecisms and typo ironically reflects the combination of your lack of awareness, education and ultimately how your educational system has also failed you. Re-read your comment, fix your grammar and spelling, and then try to come back and have an intellectual debate 🤦🏾♂️
I’m not even American and I knew all the answers from top of my head - That’s what you get when you teach them identify politics, how to be an SJW and culture. Keep it up
@@dolemites_chain I kinda agree but its also obvious that these kids don't even know what the word obey means if they knew what it meant maybe they could answer what 3x3x3 is bc that's a 2nd or 3rd grade question that 8-9 y/o children answer seems like the education system is wrong either ways though I definitely agree that teaching them how to think could be useful though but that kinda just comes from learning how to do stuff yourself and not spoiling your kid which comes from the parents imagine ur up at 3am (i know for a fact that 99% of kids do this at least once in 2 weeks in my high school) and u need food if u don't know how to cook then you have to learn it yourself so a normal person with thinking ability could easily self teach themselves how to cook via internet which is quite an overpowered tool to have if the kid was used to having everything ready for him every time he wants then he won't want to learn how to cook bc its mostly a useless skill (at this time) for him bc he gets everything he wants by just talking so he will probably just stay hungry or go to bed and when morning comes he can ask his parents to make food or stuff like that so yeah teaching kids to think is a good idea imo too ngl but I feel like schools shouldn't be the ones doing it here schools even say we only teach and give knowledge we don't teach you to behave or think properly (translating is kinda difficult rn bc the word they use doesn't exist on English but that's basically what they mean) bc that's the parent's job to do also, my bad for the long reply I usually like writing, etc so I always end up writing replies with every small bit of info I can fit in there unconsciously
It’s funny because I watched one of his last videos and suggested asking questions like Name the 5 Kardashian sisters and see if they can answer that. I’m sure I’m not the only who suggested it but they got it right and now basic history or math.
@@dolemites_chain exceptionalism? Young Americans are constantly taught to hate their country. It's why they don't know about U.S. history, geography, or how many states there are.
Quite a few people suggest that it's the fault of liberals. Yet isn't educational attainment lower in the Red (Republican-led) states, along with greater gun violence, higher infant mortality and other markers of social dysfunction?
Sorry, you're mistaken. It is a Testament to defunding American education, and the importance "the powers that be" of teaching to a test, not actually a real education.
@@dawnmarieallenkent2495 money's been thrown at education forever. It starts at the home and ends with crap teachers and curriculums that are more feelings based. This original post is correct.
but ive seen videos of boomers and grown ass people failing to answer common knowledge questions as well, were they taught feelings too or is it just american education sucks ass?
Was the low point when the girl who was asked to name three countries said she didn't do history? But you are right social media is rotting everybody's brain. In one of his videos he asked a girl to name all the Kardashians. She could do it, no problem.
The scary thing is that these people are the smartest level that they will ever be. I’m an old man, so I had the benefit of actually learning stuff in school. We didn’t have students on psycho medication , but back then everything fell in the same category. 4 out of 5 doctors as well as parents, teachers, and clergy agreed that it was a disease called “ ants in the pants”, and the cure was swat those ants.
The lack of critical thinking as you pointed out and well thinking in general is the most detrimental thing imo Also feel some of these people were high af but still no excuse
You made a great point about asking smaller kids because they haven’t been poisoned, because my 7 yr old daughter got 4 or 5 of those right when the people he asked had no clue.
We have to remember that these are a few people who made the edit versus how many people were edited out because they were correct. It's just entertainment... Right? Please say, "Right." haha
@@LA_HA of course. Doesn’t change the fact that my 7 year old getting questions right that the few adults shown didn’t and it’s no less sad no matter how many ppl weren’t shown that answered correctly.

I'm calling the defunded police to arrest you for being mean and not agreeing with me. haha. Yeah. I understand.

I don’t want to accept at all the fact that our education system is in a horrendous state, social media and the internet have made it to where this younger generation is controllable by algorithms.

@@jroc1064 Yes. I'm in Educational Research and the devastating effects of this haven't even begun to be seen. Unfortunately, to undo this mess means undoing the entire Educational System and it's enabling unions. So, I just don't know
i'd say genz of america would be more fitting ngl i also go to highschool and i also got these questions right it kinda sucks to know you know more about their country than the actual citizens that live there it kinda just destroys any piece of hope left in there but alteast most countries are doing fine it seems like from this comment section
not really social media itself but more like parents and schools tbh a 9 year old in my country is better at math, geography and history than these ppl i cant belive they couldn't answer how many seasons are there a 5 year old knows that or maybe even 4 or 3 depending on the parents also ppl said "instead of teaching pronouns in school teach _____" and i was like what do they actually teach pronouns? bc we already know them by default here no one teaches that nor do anyone has to teach it they arent even that important tbh i wouldn't mind if someone called me a she by accident its no big deal i feel like it might be americas school system getting worse ngl *but* there is also a huge ton of parenting problems i can see too like who doesn't know seasons and 3x3x3 we didn't even need to start going to first grade (which is where we learn how to write here prolly same for other countries too) to learn other languages including how to write words in them (it was really really basic but we learnt english on kindergarten for stuff like can i get an orange juice? egg hello how are you etc better, good, fine, go and lots of basic words basic kindergarten stuff i'd say its for preparing us to learn English on the future and learning how to write basic stuff before 1st grade also helped with english that early too) so i really feel like its the parents fault when a kid becomes like this bc u only gotta make 1 mistake which is letting them get addicted to social media and the internet, at that age they wont really control themselves and wont know what is more important to them so gotta control a little before they are mature enough not too much but just enough so that they will be a normal person unlike these ppl
yeah i feel like most people there dont actually know how to listen properly ngl which is probably the biggest problem right beside the education system
Over half the kids in my school, openly gave no shits about their education. I graduated 14yrs ago though, and from what I’ve seen it’s only gotten worse. We shot ourselves in the foot with all the hate thrown at the past, now kids have no respect for anything learned there, or for their elders trying to teach them it.
I'm not an American and I was able to answer a lot of the American related questions correctly when I was watching the original video. I learned Utah was a state from watching Prison Break season 2 lol A lot of these things will be exposed to you just from consuming the media whether through entertainment or the news. It doesn't necessarily have to be via formal education. Would love to see them interview tourists with the exact same questions.
As a 19 year old American in trade rn these were the easiest questions I’ve ever seen, I’m genuinely kinda shocked they couldn’t even answer these, I was taught these throughout school, and honestly tbf the school system has gone down drastically, I noticed it in my finale year of high school too
Why does everyone keep blaming the school system? What about the family structure? Some of these here have parents. They must know their kids are stupid. So how could your own child get so old and don't kn anything? As a parent, how are they okay with that?
I'm a non-U.S citizen and I knew the answers to literally each and every one of the questions he asked within 5 seconds of him asking. You guys fucked lol
Our government literally trying to dumb us down because they aren't even trying to teach in schools anymore. They now use schools to spread propaganda.
This is 100% parents fault. Teachers can't do sh** if there is no follow up from parents at home. If you don't have time to raise a child, do not bring one to this world.
I agree , problem is most of their parents don’t know either ‼️ My Grandfather was like an encyclopaedia 👍🏻👍🏻 I listened to every word that came out of his mouth .
Who told you that GARBAGE? First of all you send your children to school to learn these things, secondly it goes to show teachers are in general glorified know nothing MORONS , most of them probably couldn't answer 50% of those questions they are to busy promoting SEXUAL PERVERSION , hell most of them cannot define what a woman is !
This is the real BS !! If you parents are not coming from school it doesn’t mean you have the right to be ignorant and stupid , most of our parents they didn’t have what we have right now to study!! Idiot blam it at parents
🤣 Probably more than most people... and a lot of strange things, too. If working at the airport is anything like depicted on the TV show "Airlines" (with all the crazy, rude, drunk, etc passengers lol), I couldn't even imagine dealing with that everyday. 😆
Rule # 1 never be surprise at the bullshit. They will see you at a check point and still act surprise when you ask them for their passport/boarding ticket.
You nailed it: lack of critical thinking skills. This is the same generation that weren’t taught cursive writing. They can’t even sign their own name in cursive! We’re doomed.
same I really hope random ppl on the street aren't like this that would suck ngl imagine letting those people drive for example or even be a doctor (if they can pass the test for university via cheating there is a risk of them being in a high paying very risky job about peoples lives which would definitely suck)
What’s funny is they probably have a 4.0 gpa from whatever shitty leftist university they attend because colleges now are more interested in making you work than teaching you a real curriculum
@KnightTalk When you say it “doesn’t matter” at 3:38 I gotta disagree, general knowledge about the tangible real world is way more important than Kardashian drama. I’m 20y/o homeschooled for most of my life and I’m so fortunate for that. I went to public school my last three years in order for me to broaden my abilities to communicate and interact with others, to enjoy team sports, and to see if I could make new friends. But what I learned the most was that nobody applies themselves when their whole world is centered around their social persona. It’s sad that most kids in my generation don’t retain such basic and yet import real world knowledge.
i wouldnt say most but like maybe 50% of kids in America here in my country and around like 175 other countries, according to statistics an 8 year old could answer all of these questions and even 7 year olds here learn and know about not only the symbols on our flag but also the lore and history behind aswell to remember and know that those millions of people that have sacrificed their lives for the country we live in will be remembered
As much as this is a terrible reflection of teachers and the education system, parents allowing their kids to go out in the world without basic knowledge is on them. Putting them behind off the start.
I’m 24, so I’m technically Gen Z. This is embarrassing. These are elementary/middle school questions. Basic questions everyone should know. lol but I really think they represent a very small percentage.
@@djeio When I google, it says 1997 to 2012. Most sources include '97 and '98 in Gen Z. That's why I call myself a Zillenial because no one really agrees where the late 90 babies fit in at. lol
Me too. I graduated hs with a 2.6 gpa. But finished college with a 3.6 gpa. I was told in hs that my grades got way better when I actually applied myself. So this proves I wasn’t as dumb as i thought i was, i just didn’t apply myself. But idk about the ones in the video. They are just frustrating.
I absolutely loved your reaction !!! You had me dying laughing at such a sad situation. Jay Leno used to do this on his show. Jimmy Kimmel does it on his show now. The results are always the same. It is truly frightening. Again, loved your reaction !!!
I love how that woman first confused "seasons" and "months" and then got the months wrong. Also, it's one thing to be slightly off, but some of them were not even miles off, they were so far off they weren't even on earth anymore. I will admit though that I didn't know all the answers. Though as someone who has never been to USA, not knowing the year the country was founded isn't perhaps that bad. I was close though. Also, the "Utah" question confused me a bit at first.
"this stuff" matters. It matters. Geography. History. It places you in the world. It teaches you lessons about humanity (... doomed to repeat it...) Except for GenZ, the stuff that seems to matter is pronouns, "tolerance" that becomes hatred the moment you don't agree. And these people are going to be voting in future presidents... 😳
i can clearly say this is a thing for America itself and not all genz here in my country a 9 year old would know all those questions no sarcasm no exaggeration imagine not knowing 3x3x3 or if u went 60mph for 1 hour where u would be that's just unimaginable levels of idk what to say even freshman/9th graders in my highschool know all of these including the stars on the American flag even tho we don't live in america
as a genz i also learned most of these info but it was more like 5 to 9 i'd say the parenting and education system on America is extremely bad bc i literally couldn't find 1 person that lives in my city that couldn't answer these questions even if i had like a month to ask people other countries doing fine tho fun fact there was a literal genius in my class when i went to 8th grade the dude got 90 out of 90 questions right with only 1 hours of studying (only 4 people on my whole country got that good of a score and there is at least 1 million people he was against) i to this day don't know how he can be that good normal people like us get like 4 wrongs usually which is alright i'd say but that good is so hard to achieve with a test like that so i'd say there is definitely hope but maybe not in America unless parenting and education problems are fixed i cant belive these people will be voting for the next president
I want everyone to see that this is what happens to your children when you allow the government institutions to raise y’all’s kids. BE THE PARENT/TEACHER in you child’s life.
@@StellarisIgnis It's both. Also, you mean government schooling, since those institutions are run by the government and not the public. Our education system has been getting worse over many decades. There's the No Child Left Behind program that Bush passed in the early 2000s that did jack shit, then recently Oregon made it law that kids can graduate high school without ever learning how to read, write, or do math. That kind of shit added to parents leaving it up to someone else, or a mobile device to raise their kids, creates the kind of mess we're in today.
The most incredible is that these are young people, most of them just fresh out of school... and unable to answer questions such as naming 3 countries, whatever countries... these people are going to vote sometime to elect officials... but ask them about the whole Kardashians family and they know it by heart... shameful !
Nah man their votes won't count. None of them really do. In a world were the elite try they're best to control everything you do or say you really think they would give us the power to elect who's in charge? Presidents are picked not voted
@@elo2dcrv do you know how long i tried to motivate people to do that, everyone is too lazy, docile or fat. So i gave up, now im getting ready to watch it all fall.
Sadly this has been going on for a long time. Jay Leno did this for years. Of course they don't include most of the people who do get it right. Still, these people vote? Explains a lot.
When I was In high school my world history teacher had us take the citizenship test immigrants have to take. It made me realize how stupid my peers were….out of a class of 40 or so only myself and 2 others passed it
I remember taking the test myself in my junior year of high school, if I remember correctly, I was the first one to finish in about 20 minutes or less. About 80% of my classmates took the whole hour to finish it, not to mention, a few others finished after me. After that, I headed to a different class, my teacher asked how the citizenship test went, I told her I finished before everyone. I told her it was a piece of cake and simple common knowledge that any American should have. However, talking to a bunch of my classmates and friends, not a whole lot of them passed it, a good few, however, not a whole lot.
I took one and I think I only got one wrong. It was "who wrote the declaration of independence". I said John Adams and it was Thomas Jefferson. Rest of my class failed it. I'm a millenial, I wonder if we were as stupid to Gen X and Gen Z is to me.
Oh I know about that test. I failed that questionaire because I didnt learn it. However i am at fault for not looking into myself to educate myself. A fail to me is C and below and I had a C- (73%) on that test.
I supervise approximately 12 gen z workers and it is completely insane what they’re willing to do to spend time staring at their phone, it’s like a damn dog trying to get after a b*tch in heat.
That guy was WAAAYYY too nice. That level of intelligence requires them to be called out, not told they're right. MAYBE that will get them to think or look up some knowledge
People blaming the education system... not once did I hear him ask "How long were you in school for? How many classes did you skip?"... it's not entirely on the education system. I skipped a lot of classes in school and it showed. I had to repeat a few classes a couple times because I never did the work. People acting like just because you drop your kid off at school they have no choice but to learn. Simply not true. I used to lie out my butt when my school called saying I wasn't in class lol.
@@pjbpiano You do realize students are part of the education system right? Without students, there's no school thus no education. So, your implication that it's ONLY teachers, ONLY schools and ONLY parents to blame is invalid. Student doesn't attend class/pay attention in class/doesn't want to be there that's NOT on the teacher. That's not on the school. That's not on the parents. That's on the student. Students are as much part of the problem. Nice try though.
@@thealphastrain101 if a student does not attend class or skips school or does any other things that is outside the control of the school and the teachers, it is on the parents to correct and control that.
@@pjbpiano You can't police your children 24/7. It's fairly clear you don't know much about kids. I could go into the psychology of it, but it'd be a waste of time. Your absolute refusal to see that the students are also at fault is part of the problem lol. But, you can't see that either and will probably just turn it around too. What's a parent going to do after telling their child to "Stop skipping classes" and the child refuses? What then? Ground them? Cool. Take away stuff? Cool. Does ANY of that stop that kind of behavior? Absolutely not. Perhaps your refusal to see that the students are also at fault is because you already see them as lost causes? Why else would you assume that policing your children by strict rules guidelines would do any good for them? Or perhaps the reason the education system is failing because of people like you putting far too much pressure on teachers, parents and institutions? If a child wants to learn, they'll learn. You simply cannot force anyone to learn.
@@thealphastrain101 no. YOU cannot force your children to learn because you have accepted the limited options available to you in how to raise your children. Children will be children and they will always test boundaries. How strong are your boundaries? If you think all the options you have in course correcting your children’s behavior is grounding them and taking away their favorite toys, then you are severely limited in how to educate your children on interacting with the world. And that is not a sign of a parent that is doing all they can to make sure their children are fit enough to go to school and appreciate what is being taught there. Now to address your point directly, the children are the ones being educated by the educated system. They did not create it. They were born into it and they will learn what the system teaches them directly or indirectly. If you have a bunch of ignorant adults, it is because for the most part, the people responsible for raising them (parents, teachers and society at large) failed. Education does not start at school. It starts at home. The parents are the child’s first teachers. Any parent that thinks the class teachers are the people in charge of educating their children has failed already.

Do you know why your point is moot? Because even if they were all cherry-picked and are all only the dumb ones shown, one look at them should tell you that they have a roof over their head, clean new clothes on their backs and food on their plates and don't seem to suffer from any visible or noticeable condition and should have no excuse for not answering at least the vast majority of these questions. So, to reiterate, people like them should not exist or at the very least should be damn hard to find just one like them, not cherry pick a handful of them in an afternoon, at the same street corner.
The look on the commentators face is priceless. We in trouble, bad trouble! I’m an Australian and I knew most of the answers to the US specific questions.

I think if you actually know something you'd know it regardless, it'll just pop up in your head, but if you have to think about it then the pressure might break you yes.
this is not the fault of the institutions they go to. This is their own doing. They decide what they want to learn, and they do not care about history and stuff, they just want to watch tiktoks and twitter

@CommanderTy I work with folks ranging from ~60 all the way down to a 23yo employee of mine. I deal with the public. I’m inside private homes and interact with the public regularly. I assure you.

Well this cheered me up somewhat, I'm always putting myself down considering myself stupid but my perceived insecurity is nothing compared to the actual evidence of American stupidity lol that is utterly shameful, the simplicity of those questions and their struggle with em is an embarrassment
I dropped out of grade 9 after 3 years of being forced to go in 1974 as I turned 16 .. Never attended a class after the second term in the first two years but any question you ask any of these people there I can answer immediately and correctly .. although I wasn't going to school I was absorbing every newspaper every day and I was interested in news stories of world events as back in those days news events were just that , news events and not opinion pieces .. after a few years of dragging my ass from job to job I lucked out and started an IronWorkers apprenticeship in which turned into a career and now I'm retired on a pension .. school back then was overrated and a useless pursuit except in the fields of medical studies .. although social studies some would consider medical I would consider socialist ideology and therefore as useless as any of the other basket weaving courses .. just saying 🖖

That's actually what bothers me about the video. It's bad enough they're ignorant, but please, at least correct them. Some girl's walking around out there still thinking the Civil War was Germany vs Nazis. And she can vote. Not sure how that's helpful for anyone.

Non-U.S. citizens can likely answer the majority of these questions. We'd probably be better off as a society if we understood our history better and had more aware of other thriving countries to learn and collaborate with.
Europe here. I could answer pretty much all of them. Wasn't sure on the dime thing because we just use cents with our Euro currency (but I googled it and now I know) and was a few years off in regards to 1776.... 1492 is a more important year for us, that's when we sent our boy over lol. I'm not from the UK, maybe the Brits remember 1776 better haha.
Im russian-canadian and I answered msot of them, I didnt know about the civil war specifically but it makes sense. I know the stars, stripes...basic math. When he asked the 60mph question I would flipped it on him and said, "96 kilometers, am I correct?" (did that conversion in my head)

A lot of the mistakes these kids make seem to come from hearing ONE word of the question, and free-associating from that, e.g. the word "war" triggers associations unrelated to the rest of the sentence.
The continents question is stupid as it's controversial and the answer can be subjective.
@@faithlesshound5621 Sure, and if you believe that then you are a type of person who "makes excuses where there are none"!!

Is it too late to abort all of you??
I can't imagine how the parents feel watching their kids not being able to answer these questions.
I'm willing to bet they don't care, which is exactly why their kids are the way they are.
They should be ashamed. Of themselves. Idk what general time span the birth of gen z is considered to be but I was born in 93 and this level of stupidity is mind blowing even to me. It just occurred to me though that while people are quick to marvel at the ignorance of this generation, they just as quickly forget this is the result of the nationwide negligence of our children. Which no one pays much mind to until it dawns on everyone that these are the folks we have to depend on moving forward. So idk what had everyone too preoccupied to care but they sure as hell gave a damn now, when its not quite too late but pretty fcking close.
1. No parents or
2. They don't care or
3. They're liberals.
I doubt if the parents could answer
Liberals statistically are better educated ,that’s a fact. Facts are pieces of information that can be verified with real evidence. In case you were confused.
- "Can you name 3 countries besides the US?"
- "I suck at History!"
I don't know WTH the US education system is doing that these people can't even distinguish between HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY!

Re-read your comment, fix your grammar and spelling, and then try to come back and have an intellectual debate 🤦🏾♂️
I’m not even American and I knew all the answers from top of my head - That’s what you get when you teach them identify politics, how to be an SJW and culture. Keep it up
@@dolemites_chain I kinda agree but its also obvious that these kids don't even know what the word obey means
if they knew what it meant maybe they could answer what 3x3x3 is bc that's a 2nd or 3rd grade question that 8-9 y/o children answer
seems like the education system is wrong either ways though
I definitely agree that teaching them how to think could be useful though but that kinda just comes from learning how to do stuff yourself and not spoiling your kid which comes from the parents imagine ur up at 3am (i know for a fact that 99% of kids do this at least once in 2 weeks in my high school)
and u need food if u don't know how to cook then you have to learn it yourself so a normal person with thinking ability could easily self teach themselves how to cook via internet which is quite an overpowered tool to have
if the kid was used to having everything ready for him every time he wants then he won't want to learn how to cook bc its mostly a useless skill (at this time) for him bc he gets everything he wants by just talking so he will probably just stay hungry or go to bed and when morning comes he can ask his parents to make food or stuff like that
so yeah teaching kids to think is a good idea imo too ngl but I feel like schools shouldn't be the ones doing it here schools even say we only teach and give knowledge we don't teach you to behave or think properly (translating is kinda difficult rn bc the word they use doesn't exist on English but that's basically what they mean) bc that's the parent's job to do
also, my bad for the long reply I usually like writing, etc so I always end up writing replies with every small bit of info I can fit in there unconsciously
It’s funny because I watched one of his last videos and suggested asking questions like Name the 5 Kardashian sisters and see if they can answer that. I’m sure I’m not the only who suggested it but they got it right and now basic history or math.
@@dolemites_chain exceptionalism? Young Americans are constantly taught to hate their country. It's why they don't know about U.S. history, geography, or how many states there are.

This is what happens when you teach feelings rather than facts. Or you make sure the class knows how the teacher identifies, yet don’t teach basics.

Was the low point when the girl who was asked to name three countries said she didn't do history?
But you are right social media is rotting everybody's brain. In one of his videos he asked a girl to name all the Kardashians. She could do it, no problem.
When the schools started teaching kids WHAT to think instead of HOW to think they left an entire generation behind...not just one child.
BOOM 💥

Unfortunately true !!
The scary thing is that these people are the smartest level that they will ever be. I’m an old man, so I had the benefit of actually learning stuff in school. We didn’t have students on psycho medication , but back then everything fell in the same category. 4 out of 5 doctors as well as parents, teachers, and clergy agreed that it was a disease called “ ants in the pants”, and the cure was swat those ants.
The lack of critical thinking as you pointed out and well thinking in general is the most detrimental thing imo
Also feel some of these people were high af but still no excuse

i'd say genz of america would be more fitting ngl i also go to highschool and i also got these questions right it kinda sucks to know you know more about their country than the actual citizens that live there it kinda just destroys any piece of hope left in there but alteast most countries are doing fine it seems like from this comment section
As someone who’s part of Gen Z (and was able to answer all of the questions posed), the second hand embarrassment from this is killer.
Social media truly has ruined the brains of thousands, millions, even television.
not really social media itself but more like parents and schools tbh a 9 year old in my country is better at math, geography and history than these ppl i cant belive they couldn't answer how many seasons are there a 5 year old knows that or maybe even 4 or 3 depending on the parents
also ppl said "instead of teaching pronouns in school teach _____" and i was like what do they actually teach pronouns? bc we already know them by default here no one teaches that nor do anyone has to teach it they arent even that important tbh i wouldn't mind if someone called me a she by accident its no big deal
i feel like it might be americas school system getting worse ngl *but* there is also a huge ton of parenting problems i can see too like who doesn't know seasons and 3x3x3 we didn't even need to start going to first grade (which is where we learn how to write here prolly same for other countries too) to learn other languages including how to write words in them (it was really really basic but we learnt english on kindergarten for stuff like
can i get an orange juice?
egg hello how are you etc
better, good, fine, go and lots of basic words
basic kindergarten stuff i'd say its for preparing us to learn English on the future and learning how to write basic stuff before 1st grade also helped with english that early too)
so i really feel like its the parents fault when a kid becomes like this bc u only gotta make 1 mistake which is letting them get addicted to social media and the internet, at that age they wont really control themselves and wont know what is more important to them so gotta control a little before they are mature enough not too much but just enough so that they will be a normal person unlike these ppl
Damn the 60mph question only requires you to be able to listen and use critical thinking, but they removed that from school classrooms now
Well said king👑
And the dimes in a dollar one, and the if you'd been born 10 years ago one.

Fuck critical thinking, the answer is literally in the question. “Sixty miles per hour”. Fucking shocking how people can get that wrong.
I don't think they removed critical thinking. You might be confused with the removal of critical race theory being taught in schools.
Over half the kids in my school, openly gave no shits about their education. I graduated 14yrs ago though, and from what I’ve seen it’s only gotten worse. We shot ourselves in the foot with all the hate thrown at the past, now kids have no respect for anything learned there, or for their elders trying to teach them it.
Your reactions to these people is priceless, and I agree social media is a cancer.

I went to public school my last three years in order for me to broaden my abilities to communicate and interact with others, to enjoy team sports, and to see if I could make new friends. But what I learned the most was that nobody applies themselves when their whole world is centered around their social persona. It’s sad that most kids in my generation don’t retain such basic and yet import real world knowledge.
i wouldnt say most but like maybe 50% of kids in America here in my country and around like 175 other countries, according to statistics an 8 year old could answer all of these questions and even 7 year olds here learn and know about not only the symbols on our flag but also the lore and history behind aswell to remember and know that those millions of people that have sacrificed their lives for the country we live in will be remembered
I feel ya! The f#@ked part is this is our government tomorrow
As much as this is a terrible reflection of teachers and the education system, parents allowing their kids to go out in the world without basic knowledge is on them. Putting them behind off the start.
I’m 24, so I’m technically Gen Z. This is embarrassing. These are elementary/middle school questions. Basic questions everyone should know. lol but I really think they represent a very small percentage.
No baby your a millennial gen z is after 2003
@@djeio Is that true though because the dates keep changing.
@@djeio When I google, it says 1997 to 2012. Most sources include '97 and '98 in Gen Z. That's why I call myself a Zillenial because no one really agrees where the late 90 babies fit in at. lol
@@0xndrej902 Really. Most sources say 1997+ is considered Gen Z.
Generations are typically around 20yrs so I always think 2000 and up but I've seen the late 90's dates too idk i think from 2000.
I used to think I was dumb. Now I suddenly feel like a genius after watching this. 😳
Me too. I graduated hs with a 2.6 gpa. But finished college with a 3.6 gpa. I was told in hs that my grades got way better when I actually applied myself. So this proves I wasn’t as dumb as i thought i was, i just didn’t apply myself. But idk about the ones in the video. They are just frustrating.
Same
I absolutely loved your reaction !!! You had me dying laughing at such a sad situation. Jay Leno used to do this on his show. Jimmy Kimmel does it on his show now. The results are always the same. It is truly frightening. Again, loved your reaction !!!
The last girl had the wrong answer to her own incorrect logic. She wanted to subtract her age with 10 years and still got it wrong.😂
I love how that woman first confused "seasons" and "months" and then got the months wrong.
Also, it's one thing to be slightly off, but some of them were not even miles off, they were so far off they weren't even on earth anymore.
I will admit though that I didn't know all the answers. Though as someone who has never been to USA, not knowing the year the country was founded isn't perhaps that bad. I was close though. Also, the "Utah" question confused me a bit at first.
"this stuff" matters. It matters. Geography. History. It places you in the world. It teaches you lessons about humanity (... doomed to repeat it...) Except for GenZ, the stuff that seems to matter is pronouns, "tolerance" that becomes hatred the moment you don't agree. And these people are going to be voting in future presidents... 😳
Crazy that this was at a pride parade
He should do one at a con/rep rally. Just to see how they compare.
i can clearly say this is a thing for America itself and not all genz here in my country a 9 year old would know all those questions no sarcasm no exaggeration imagine not knowing 3x3x3 or if u went 60mph for 1 hour where u would be that's just unimaginable levels of idk what to say
even freshman/9th graders in my highschool know all of these including the stars on the American flag even tho we don't live in america
My favorites are the questions that have the answers in them and they still can't answer right. Smh
It's no way that Gen Z is this far gone? We literally learned this information before the age of 10 lol.
as a genz i also learned most of these info but it was more like 5 to 9 i'd say the parenting and education system on America is extremely bad bc i literally couldn't find 1 person that lives in my city that couldn't answer these questions even if i had like a month to ask people
other countries doing fine tho fun fact there was a literal genius in my class when i went to 8th grade the dude got 90 out of 90 questions right with only 1 hours of studying (only 4 people on my whole country got that good of a score and there is at least 1 million people he was against) i to this day don't know how he can be that good normal people like us get like 4 wrongs usually which is alright i'd say but that good is so hard to achieve with a test like that
so i'd say there is definitely hope but maybe not in America unless parenting and education problems are fixed i cant belive these people will be voting for the next president
I want everyone to see that this is what happens to your children when you allow the government institutions to raise y’all’s kids. BE THE PARENT/TEACHER in you child’s life.
And have your kids have 0 social skills.
"Y'all's"
Home school or private school
None of these kids issues are because of public schooling, this is on the parents.
@@StellarisIgnis It's both. Also, you mean government schooling, since those institutions are run by the government and not the public. Our education system has been getting worse over many decades. There's the No Child Left Behind program that Bush passed in the early 2000s that did jack shit, then recently Oregon made it law that kids can graduate high school without ever learning how to read, write, or do math. That kind of shit added to parents leaving it up to someone else, or a mobile device to raise their kids, creates the kind of mess we're in today.
The most incredible is that these are young people, most of them just fresh out of school... and unable to answer questions such as naming 3 countries, whatever countries... these people are going to vote sometime to elect officials... but ask them about the whole Kardashians family and they know it by heart... shameful !
Nah man their votes won't count. None of them really do. In a world were the elite try they're best to control everything you do or say you really think they would give us the power to elect who's in charge? Presidents are picked not voted

I hope that he had to interview hundreds of people who DID know the answers to find these few who didn't know.
It doesn't matter. This stuff is so basic that every single person above certain age should know.
Would've loved to have heard a follow-up question. Who did you vote for in the last election? Any guesses?
Pretty sure both sides have approx the same percentage of dumb people lol
Sadly this has been going on for a long time. Jay Leno did this for years. Of course they don't include most of the people who do get it right. Still, these people vote? Explains a lot.
How many seasons are there? May, June July... I was rollin!!!! LOL
When I was In high school my world history teacher had us take the citizenship test immigrants have to take. It made me realize how stupid my peers were….out of a class of 40 or so only myself and 2 others passed it
I remember taking the test myself in my junior year of high school, if I remember correctly, I was the first one to finish in about 20 minutes or less. About 80% of my classmates took the whole hour to finish it, not to mention, a few others finished after me. After that, I headed to a different class, my teacher asked how the citizenship test went, I told her I finished before everyone. I told her it was a piece of cake and simple common knowledge that any American should have. However, talking to a bunch of my classmates and friends, not a whole lot of them passed it, a good few, however, not a whole lot.
I took one and I think I only got one wrong. It was "who wrote the declaration of independence". I said John Adams and it was Thomas Jefferson. Rest of my class failed it. I'm a millenial, I wonder if we were as stupid to Gen X and Gen Z is to me.
Oh I know about that test. I failed that questionaire because I didnt learn it. However i am at fault for not looking into myself to educate myself. A fail to me is C and below and I had a C- (73%) on that test.
Smart teacher.
The Citizenship Test should be standard.
I supervise approximately 12 gen z workers and it is completely insane what they’re willing to do to spend time staring at their phone, it’s like a damn dog trying to get after a b*tch in heat.
They're so dumb it's sad
That guy was WAAAYYY too nice. That level of intelligence requires them to be called out, not told they're right. MAYBE that will get them to think or look up some knowledge
They guy could have called them out but instead he did nothing just to bathe in his own ego
Maybe he lied because they would have attacked him otherwise
Should ask these questions at a Trump rally.
There are stupid people on bith sides. Who do you think is voting for Biden or Trump?
People blaming the education system... not once did I hear him ask "How long were you in school for? How many classes did you skip?"... it's not entirely on the education system. I skipped a lot of classes in school and it showed. I had to repeat a few classes a couple times because I never did the work. People acting like just because you drop your kid off at school they have no choice but to learn. Simply not true. I used to lie out my butt when my school called saying I wasn't in class lol.
The education system consists of the schools, the teachers and the parents. Every element in this are failing.
@@pjbpiano You do realize students are part of the education system right? Without students, there's no school thus no education. So, your implication that it's ONLY teachers, ONLY schools and ONLY parents to blame is invalid.
Student doesn't attend class/pay attention in class/doesn't want to be there that's NOT on the teacher. That's not on the school. That's not on the parents. That's on the student. Students are as much part of the problem. Nice try though.
@@thealphastrain101 if a student does not attend class or skips school or does any other things that is outside the control of the school and the teachers, it is on the parents to correct and control that.
@@pjbpiano You can't police your children 24/7. It's fairly clear you don't know much about kids. I could go into the psychology of it, but it'd be a waste of time. Your absolute refusal to see that the students are also at fault is part of the problem lol. But, you can't see that either and will probably just turn it around too.
What's a parent going to do after telling their child to "Stop skipping classes" and the child refuses? What then? Ground them? Cool. Take away stuff? Cool. Does ANY of that stop that kind of behavior? Absolutely not.
Perhaps your refusal to see that the students are also at fault is because you already see them as lost causes? Why else would you assume that policing your children by strict rules guidelines would do any good for them?
Or perhaps the reason the education system is failing because of people like you putting far too much pressure on teachers, parents and institutions? If a child wants to learn, they'll learn. You simply cannot force anyone to learn.
@@thealphastrain101 no. YOU cannot force your children to learn because you have accepted the limited options available to you in how to raise your children. Children will be children and they will always test boundaries. How strong are your boundaries? If you think all the options you have in course correcting your children’s behavior is grounding them and taking away their favorite toys, then you are severely limited in how to educate your children on interacting with the world. And that is not a sign of a parent that is doing all they can to make sure their children are fit enough to go to school and appreciate what is being taught there.
Now to address your point directly, the children are the ones being educated by the educated system. They did not create it. They were born into it and they will learn what the system teaches them directly or indirectly. If you have a bunch of ignorant adults, it is because for the most part, the people responsible for raising them (parents, teachers and society at large) failed.
Education does not start at school. It starts at home. The parents are the child’s first teachers. Any parent that thinks the class teachers are the people in charge of educating their children has failed already.
I thank God my Gen Z son, 20, and all his friends can answer every single question. This is truly SAD that this generation will be running our country someday.
These folks will be in the underclass, same as their parents probably are now. Those who actually know things will be running things, hopefully.
@@haroldfarquad6886 i really hope that too bc not knowing basic info that an average 7 year old would know in my country (and a lot of other countries (probably more than 175))is really sad ngl i cant belive ppl didn't know how many seasons are there or 3x3x3 its really embarrassing ngl
I'm Dublin Ireland born and raised and I knew those questions about the US. It's bad when you don't know your own countries fundamental history. My country has a vastly longer history than America and I know I would be able to answer most questions. It's a matter of pride to know these things IMO.

Bullcrap i can’t believe thaaaat!
I mean the video will literally only show the people who are completely clueless. I need to believe that they had plenty of footage of people getting it right. The people shown is extremely worrying.
Do you know why your point is moot? Because even if they were all cherry-picked and are all only the dumb ones shown, one look at them should tell you that they have a roof over their head, clean new clothes on their backs and food on their plates and don't seem to suffer from any visible or noticeable condition and should have no excuse for not answering at least the vast majority of these questions. So, to reiterate, people like them should not exist or at the very least should be damn hard to find just one like them, not cherry pick a handful of them in an afternoon, at the same street corner.
just remember, if you find yourself arguing with someone on the internet, it could be one of these people... just leave it xD
They want to open borders but don't know neighbour countries 😳😳😳😳😳😳

To be fair I'm the kind of person if I were to interviewed on the spot, my mind would blank out even though I would know the answers.
I’d answer these even when I’m asleep wtf are you talking about
I think if you actually know something you'd know it regardless, it'll just pop up in your head, but if you have to think about it then the pressure might break you yes.

Not really these kids choose not to listen
this is not the fault of the institutions they go to. This is their own doing. They decide what they want to learn, and they do not care about history and stuff, they just want to watch tiktoks and twitter
@@Silentknight052 Public schools are now nothing but liberal indoctrination camp. Keeping your kids away from these people is one of the best decision you can make.
Good luck with that lmao
The American school nowday teaches your kid the all the New genders and their pronounce...that's all cause real education would make the people to smart to get manipulated by media so they need dump people
1. “Man on the street” style quizzes like this are usually cherry-picked
2. Hopefully the point here is that we need to better fund public education
Those are questions that should not even be cherry-pickable, it's like asking if sun is hot, dude 3x3x3? That's kindergarden tier.
@CommanderTy I work with folks ranging from ~60 all the way down to a 23yo employee of mine. I deal with the public. I’m inside private homes and interact with the public regularly.
I assure you. Every generation thinks that the next gen is less prepared. But honestly they are doing just fine. Social norms and priorities shift but kids today are going to fix a lot of the previous generation’s mistakes. I could get the same kind of answers following Kliepper around when he does his thing at Trump rallies, or Kimmel’s man on the street bite, or outside literally any event. To suggest that having emotional intelligence precludes you from having factual intelligence is ignorant.
I know it feels good to feel smug but seriously. Occam’s razor dude.

I dropped out of grade 9 after 3 years of being forced to go in 1974 as I turned 16 .. Never attended a class after the second term in the first two years but any question you ask any of these people there I can answer immediately and correctly .. although I wasn't going to school I was absorbing every newspaper every day and I was interested in news stories of world events as back in those days news events were just that , news events and not opinion pieces .. after a few years of dragging my ass from job to job I lucked out and started an IronWorkers apprenticeship in which turned into a career and now I'm retired on a pension .. school back then was overrated and a useless pursuit except in the fields of medical studies .. although social studies some would consider medical I would consider socialist ideology and therefore as useless as any of the other basket weaving courses .. just saying 🖖
