To be fair, it's probably hard to find space for historical knowledge when you've got to memorize 1000 different genders.
lol
What a waste of brain space😂
Bold of you to assume they even know 1000 words
Hey! Don’t be a hate crime, there are one thousand two gend- I mean one thousand five- or crap I mean two thousand fifty… shit! This bull crap is impossible!
Oh Gaia, Oh Gaia! Are we up to 1000? I've fallen behind. Still stuck at 76. 😢 Must study. Must study.

I graduated 2019 and none of these answers surprise me. I remember how dumb a lot of my classmates were and it only gets worse the longer they are out of school.
I graduated high school in 2015 with a scary number of people who at the time weren't capable of reading an analog clock.
I'm a college dropout who accidentally stumbled into being an electrician and often feel like an idiot next to my wife and her all overachieving 8 siblings. A family of lawyers, dentists, engineers, accountants, and businessmen, with every single man save one having the honor of having served in the armed forces. I've been handed way more good things in life than I've earned. When I feel like I don't deserve to be in their presence, I watch these street interview videos with these stupid people and I can feel like I'm doing pretty okay. I may not be super smart or an overachiever, but as long as I'm not as hopelessly stupid as some of these video people, I've got enough to keep forging on.
@@tiagodecastro2929Don't be like that. Brother you are a electrician! We need more folks like you in society. So many desk workers and rich suits sitting at desks. A man of your craft is hands on and gets shit done. You are leagues above being worthless. Keep your head high.
I didn't pay attention in history class.
Still scored the highest on every test because I liked the subject and have a attention span of more than a gold fish.
That bit about the Japanese having myriads of festivals honoring and remembering their past, while American youths only know about "muh slayvery was le bad" was hilarious and sad. Just goes to show that getting everybody in Hollywoke and the MSM to not shut up about it for a decade has clearly left a mark on your young ones.
"Weak men create hard times"
The Japanese have a deep pride in their country, something we should learn from. Especially because in the past they did some pretty fucked up shit, they just aren't making it an excuse to become ignorant of basic history
They have national pride because they don't just allow hordes of randos to waltz in and tear the place up.
I don't know, I saw a video the other day where a Japanese woman didn't know Japan was part of the Axis during WWII.
@@koatamThe Japanese completely ignore their role in ww2, true. It isn't consistently taught.
@@moosestache1769 i mean the germans basically do the same and the japenese were absolute fucking monsters during WWII... they were so cruel even a SS officer intervened and saved people FROM THE JAPENESE who were their allies.
My cousin could be in this video. She thinks she is hot sh*t because her parents are paying for her to go to some "prestigious" art college in Georgia that has an over 99% acceptance rate. She has been teaching my almost 60 year old uncle "emotional intelligence." Which basically means the stuff that you learn as an infant (facial cues, tone of voice, etc...) That art school smelled her daddy's pocket book from a mile away.
@whitmanmaleman I have a friend who after high school suddenly decided he wanted to be an actor after being in the school play. This was a guy who had great grades and was really smart but had absolutely no kind of acting talent. His parents were very disappointed. Anyway he went to “acting” school and After he graduated that he went to some famous acting school in London England. While I was working and going to school,his social media was full of pictures of him having a great time, going to plays, having dinner with his classmates, going to clubs. They were paying to have fun and not gain any practical skills. Well we’re all in our late 20s now. He’s moved back to our hometown, gotten no acting jobs obviously and is living with his parents also working as a waiter at the same place we used to work at in high school. He’s been there for years now.
@whitmanmaleman yeah, it’s a lot harder to get job with an art degree unless you’re a graphic design major. I used to be an art major, but then I dropped out of college because it was getting too expensive for one, and the stress of college was getting to me so I decided to drop out. I’m just thankful in the end I didn’t take out any student loans.
@whitmanmaleman I was working with a guy back in high school to startup a game development studio. And the guy always insisted I go to college, as did everyone else I knew. And I told them why I wouldn't go, "It's a shitty degree that means nothing, and has no real value cause I am already an experienced game designer." They insisted, I went to trades, my friend went to game design college. 2 years out of high school and I am already living a life I have always wanted. And even better in many regards, i am now a designer AND a programmer. My friend is in college, and has the creativity even worse then when he was in high school. I was always the one with the headful of ideas and he knew how to code. But College somehow made his ability to think creatively worse. And has not improved his own coding skills whatsoever.
emotional IQ is some made up BS. it means absolutely nothing when applied
When if your uncle going to ask why is she an idiot?
I know there’s always been stupid youth, but to have that today with volumes of info at one’s fingertips, truly makes me fear the future.
Everyone always talks about Orwell, but nobody talks about Huxley.
Huxley predicted a dystopia where books would be plentiful but nobody would want to read them.
Ignorance is a choice and a shocking amount keep choosing Ignorance.
Sensory overload is a good portion of the problem as well. If you read sci/fi, particularly cyberpunk, you will find overt or sometimes subtle themes of diseases or technological viruses stemming from constant over-stimulation of the human nervous system. Sci/fi has been prophetic throughout its development, all the way back to Jules Verne and arguably some ancient religious texts. I think more credit should be given to these writers and that we, the people in the writer's future, take their cautionary words to heart.
I played the Blade Runner PC game as a little lad in the late 90s, in one instance the protagonist upon being told by a suspect that all "the papers were in order" responds that its fine cause he can’t read anyways. Later on while noticing a partially played chess board he states that he doesn’t know how to play it. Those instances seemed silly to me at the time. A police officer in the dystopian future (set in 2016 at the time) who can’t read… well I see that dystopian future now.
Kids used to at least try a while back.
I remember a friend of mine in college was from Ireland and he was studying to get his American citizenship. He was doing a practice test and was getting frustrated so he had me take it just for fun. It was all simple guesting about founding father and constitutional rights and stuff so I aced it and he was like "how do you know all of this?"
And I told him it's just because that's what they teach us in history class all our lives, im sure he would know a ton of stuff about Irish history that I didn't know.
My explanation of knowing things just because that's what they teach in school was so wrong. The older I get the more I realize just how many people straight up didn't learn shit. I've had people with the audacity to criticize schools for not teaching some particular topic when I very clearly remember learning all about it in my school. Then when I point it out they try to claim that I just went to a rich kid school. Bitch I went to public school in rural south carolina and that shits nationally standardized anyway so your dumbass just didn't pay attention.
It doesn't matter how much funding a school has if the children are willfully retarded. You need to start with the culture at home. If your kid grows up being told to be a gangster he's going to be a gangster and stay stupid no mater what school you send him to
so much this. i went to a highly rated public school in a rich area. they bussed in 'urban youth' from the inner city to meet diversity quotas and give them better opportunities. only one of the bussed in kids actually applied himself and studied, the rest just skipped class, stole things and sold drugs in the hallways. they also bullied the one that studied hard for "acting white".
It's true not all kids can learn.
PERIOD.
I had a friend in high school, just a hair over retarded.
He read at a 4th grade level (I'm being generous) could barely do simple arithmetic.
Yet scrapped by on -D, because the teachers would "socially promote" him, and yet he graduated with our class.
He even fell for the ITT Technical School scam, because he didn't understand the financial contract that he signed. 🤔
And even they issued him a certificate!
Guess that's why it was closed down, for being a diploma mill.
You're right, people have to want to learn. It starts with bringing fathers back into the home and having families teach their children that hey, y'know, it's actually interesting and cool to learn stuff. The world kinda sucks, but it's still fascinating. Our mainstream media is a disaster, too. Some might say by design... but either way, we need to incentivize learning.
If anyone reading this wants to help save this country, a huge step is as such: have a kid that you haven't brought to a museum, even just recently? I beg you to do so. Buy a science book and do some cool, safe experiments at home. Teach them how to fix a leaking pipe or safely replace an electrical outlet once they're of sufficient age to handle that, and show them how it works. Tell them you love them, then light that fire under their chair and get them up and moving intellectually. Teach them how to learn, and teach them how to apply what they learn. That's how you save the country.
My favorite was watching a former classmate of mine post one of those "We didn't learn this in school memes".
He didn't like when I pointed out that we were in the same class when it was taught. He just didn't pay attention.
Preach brother! PREACH!! You are unfortunately so correct about the willingness to be r-t@rded. I’m 42 but remember seeing it with kids in my age group & it’s only gotten worse with the passing of time. No curiosity about the world outside of their own.
I went back to college to do a law masters a couple of years ago. We were studying the law of war crimes and no one knew that yugoslavia existed or that there was a war subsequently. I felt old because i'm old enough to have fought in it, let alone 'remember' it. The standards of general knowledge have tanked here in europe too.
NGL I only know about Yugoslavia because of that one scene in Family Guy when Peter paid Joe Pesci a nickle to say "Yugoslavia."
I'm old enough to remember Yugoslavia, but apparently not young enough to realize it doesn't exist anymore... time to read up on what I missed
I once looked at some text books from 100 years ago, when kids learned in renovated barns. Kids today couldn't do them. Not because they were too outdated, but because they would be considered college level courses today.
I also have this belief that living in major US cities drops your IQ by about 50 points
I've done the same. And you're correct, the ammount of knowledge people were equipped with in elementary school made it easy to understand why high-school was optional until the 1940s.
These kids can barely read a menu. Hell, they can't even count change half the time. Books from a hundred years ago written in basic but competent English is like an alien language for them. Functional literacy is on a steep decline.
True, I have some very old textbooks, which would have been considered "required" learning in 1880. I feel bad for other people my own age or younger, as their IQ is rapidly declining. I have come to see these people with a self-made simile. "Their minds are as open as a sieve. Only the dirt sticks and anything worthwhile goes down the drain." In short, they most likely can name every Kardashian, but can't be bothered to retain basic knowledge on Civics or History, such as our founding date or the year that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, let alone who the President was at that time. Truly, we are a doomed society, but I will still try to keep and teach knowledge to any who'd listen and retain it for posterity.
And even then, I’m sure kids would learn how college farming was rooted in white supremacy that empowers the patriarchy or something like that

I'll be honest, I didn't pay attention in school. And I was a varsity quiz captain for middle and high school. For most of my classes, I literally rode the line for barely passing. Ironically using math to calculate my gpa so I can skip as much math homework as possible and still pass.
That being said, I still did learn things. Just not in school. The internet is a far better teacher then school ever was. Not only for academic purposes, but also for practical skills and even harsh life lessons. I learned more about the horrors of gambling, shady scammers, and how to be weary of strangers from playing an MMO then whatever shitty wishy washy safe for sensitive children shit they taught us in schools. Granted, some of those lessons I learned by metaphorically peeing on the electric fence, but I did learn even as I was scammed out of my virtual goods.
Granted, I am 30 years old. I literally avoided most of this current woke shit up until 12th grade, when a girl told me she was pansexual. It was literally such a foreign concept to me at the time, I legit thought that it meant she could fall in love with a chair or other random objects. I even told her that's a pretty weird fetish. I get it a little more now, and though for different reasons, I still think it, and all this woke shit are just weird fetishes that people are trying to normalizing. Fetishes belong in the bedroom under zipped lips, not being forced into political policies and being taught to children.
Preach dude
I work with some from this generation. One of them went on a rant the other day about elephants being reptiles because of their skin. This was after calling in sick the night before to stand in the parking lot at a Taylor Swift concert to try and hear it since she couldn't afford a ticket. We're doomed.
We need to restrict voting from these idiots. They are going to kill us

Their parents failed them, educators and the system failed them, and the current leadership...in corporations and government are failing them.
....I'd laugh, but then I realize this story was twice layered with sadness...lol
@@PAGrunt I disagree. Never has there been a time when more information was available to anyone. Even children know that they can look up anything they wish to know. They can interact with all the literature from all of history. They don't HAVE to soak up values from Tik Tok. We can excuse children for not being taught better, perhaps, but there comes a point in everyone's life where the responsibility MUST shift. Even children know that someday they will be expected to be adults and even adult losers know that living in their parents' basement is a failure on their part. The latter might be loath to admit it... but they know.

Shame and embarrassment are indeed an effective means of getting people backon track and preventing further foul-ups.
In primary school, our principal used to call on random students every morning to spell words while we stood for the morning prayers, national anthem, etc. I misspelled neighbourhood when I was called on and never misspelled that damn word again because I was so embarrassed. Even on sports days, there were races where you had to complete math problems before running to the finish line, and, being in a rush, I made a small miscalculation that cost me a place. I never made those mistakes again.
@@sianais It looks like both spellings are correct, depending on where you're from. If that makes you feel better? I think neighbourhood is the UK spelling.

Perhaps most of these people shouldn't have the right to vote. Perhaps the founders were right.
They call him a racist because this would mean that less minorities will be allowed to vote. Which ironically makes them the true racist for painting minorities as stupid.
The one crippling problem with that is who administers the test. You already know if they did that today then in five years there would be a bunch of bullshit questions like "name all known 1000 genders,"
Fully enfranchised democracy is among the dumbest ways to run a society. Everyone is not equal, you're not even equal to yourself one day to the next.
I think it should be more than a civics test. If we're going to have welfare "safety nets" for instance, those on them should not have voting privileges. It's completely asinine to let parasitic drains vote to further enable themselves to be parasitic drains.
IQ should be a factor too, and those with a sub-100 IQ should not have voting privileges.
Childless adults have no investment in the future of their people or civilization, and therefor should have no say in its direction or appointing of its leadership and representation.

In both college and high school the only subject I did well in was History. History is the study of documentation. Essentially propaganda so I am not sure how much I value knowing the source material. In my opinion, pattern recognition and understanding that humans are cyclical animals is more important than memorizing books. Understanding the "human pattern" will give you a leg up in dealing with other people in the day to day as well as understanding market dynamics and political shifts.

I went to school in the late 2000s when the phones weren’t as good. When we were in class we would for sure text our friends or talk to each other, but for the most part we were forced to pay attention because we didn’t have anything else to do (our phones or iPods and things like that would be taken away if they saw us use them). A few years ago I took a specialist course and as part of it I has to do a placement in a high school. This makes me sound like a “phones bad” boomer but the teacher would come into class and all the kids would pull out their phones. One kid watched family guy and Rick and Morty every single day. The teacher did nothing about the phones. I think like a handful of kids actually were trying to learn. I offered a few kids help with their assignments and one kid got so mad at me he actually screamed at me to leave him alone. Any time the teacher actually tried to get one of the kids to put the phone away or do work the kid would throw a tantrum and storm out of the classroom. And this was a regular English class, not even some kind of special behaviour class or something. I could not believe it and I thought to myself how scary it was that these kids aren’t learning anything.
Putting special ed in every classroom ruined education. This was going already on in the 90's in most cities. Especially in Cali and NYC.
Society would be better if everyone only had flip phones.
I don't blame teachers on completely giving up on the no cell phones policy in schools.
@@ThePTBRULESAnd cooler.
In my experience, as a student around the 2010s, from my one regular's English class was that most of the class was always doing makeup work for basic homework assignments at the end of a grading period. A lot of the class would seriously have a zero for their overall grade meaning they didn't even turn in anything throughout the whole 6-weeks grading period. Was seriously sad and pathetic watching the students shamelessly begging the teacher to help them pass while I thought it was seriously too easy to pass and they were just lazy. Even in my honors history class, there was probably a handful of my class's students begging the teacher to give them a makeup work assignment that'd allow them to pass where he'd then go back and change some grades. These same kids would be the ones always on their phones and if not they'd be constantly chatting with each other.
I had one honors history teacher early on in high school who actually enforced a no phones policy. He was a calm older looking dude, but was very muscular and sometimes there'd be a scene of a student being stubborn, but usually he got the phone. Him and another teacher would even tally up how many phones they picked up every month. Once got mine taken up having not heard the final bell going off and first thing he immediately went straight for my phone which bummed me out. It was a $15 fee to retrieve your phone back from an assistant principal if the teacher wanted to be hard and not return it at the end of class.

The saddest part about this is that the issue isn't limited to the United States. In my experience, having lived in various countries, I've noticed a concerning lack of awareness among the general population regarding historical facts and knowledge.

It's not by accident.
Some people still care to learn and enjoy educating themselves, but the real problem is when too many idiots try to quiet down those with the right questions/answers because of an inferiority complex.

I've traveled a bit too and in general the youth really are getting dumber, it was difficult to hold a conversation with them. Then the phones come out and their minds go to lala land.
Working just as designed.
The scariest part is: these people can vote, and theirs count as much as yours. I say this as a Brazilian and things are not any better in here.
I DID NOT expect Idiocracy to become I documentary in my generation
...man, I was a slacker who was always forgetting to do homework and had mediocre grades,but...I feel like I've got a sound mind in comparison
This is why people should be required to take an intelligence test before they're allowed to vote or be in any office position or hell any position of leadership whatsoever
What if it was more of a ranked choice, that the higher your IQ, the more points your vote would count for.
You think these people are getting in any positions of power or leadership? Or even possess the drive and conviction to pursue such a goal?
That doesn't work because those in charge will just change the answers to be whatever supports them keeping their power.

I love telling this story. I was an absent student for most of my 10th grades year and all of my 11th. Effectively dropped out. I went to apply for trade school and covid hit and all the schools locked their doors for 8 months. I was offered the chance to finish my high school diploma and i agreed, so long as I finished the 6 classics I would be required to pass and pass my 12th grade year. I did nothing for 5 months, got warned I had 1 month to go, got warned i had 1 week to go and that if I failed I wouldn't be allowed to graduate and would have to restart my 12th grade year in another school.
And got all 5 remaining classes done in 1 week. Not cause I am some kind of super genius. But cause it was all SO FUCKING EASY. I didn't do the work cause it fucking bored me to death putting in any effort for things I already know. Every single class I entered there I knew everything about. And this wasn't some shithead high school this was a prestigious "You need to earn entry" high school. One of the best in the state and a top 500 in the entire country.
I graduated high school 2 years ago. And things are only getting dumber and dumber.
I never got to attend high school and need a GED but even I know this.
Fr I was really lazy during school and barely got a passing grade for most of my classes, but these questions are basic knowledge that all Americans should know. Fucking clown world we're living in
I'm amazed by these videos, because they are hilarious and terrifying at the same time, and that's an awkward mix of emotions. We're friggin' doomed, but at least I'll be laughing all the way into the abyss.
I'm surprised they wake up without forgetting to breathe
Or they don't forget the lyrics to ANY 21 Savage song, oh no they'll never forget those

I'm curious as to who would freak out first;
A heroin addict without a fix or a Gen Z without a cell phone.
I can just picture the latter frantically running thru the house grabbing TV remotes or calculators, pushing the buttons and holding them up to their ears.

I remember history being my favorite class in school, but I also remember them starting to do standardized tests during high school. Everything was multiple choice and there is always one obviously wrong answer almost put there as a joke seems like these kids took it as face value.
Way, way back in the mists of time, my chemistry teacher set a certain multi-choice question: What is a molecule? The answers were:
1. A group of atoms bonded together
2. A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
3. A small, cold furry animal
He was proud of us, as we all - 62 girls - ticked answer 3 😂
You were offered history funny their was a frickin grade gao to get into that in my school
Multiple choice tests are so freaking easy. Try tests where you have to write in the correct answer yourself.
@clogs4956
Did all of you also make l between u & e look like a "t"?
That could be a standard socialist test. Did you choose more than half of the obvious wrong answers? Congratulations, you're now a menial laborer forbidden from using machinery.

Mandatory civics and IQ tests to vote. Needed.
That was outlawed in the 60s
@@JimmyJacksOfficial why I wonder
I would go for all that but what we really want is voters to think long term so I would probably limit the vote to parents who had been married and had at least a child together so they think about future when vote. And also require civics knowledge and English.
@@aguyfromnothere yes also to the English requirement. That alone would be revolutionary
Perhaps a "tiered" ballot with selections based on passing civics and IQ tests with minimal score thresholds for being eligible to vote for local (lowest), state (mid-tier) and national (most stringent) candidates and ballot issues.
They always answer every question in the form of a question.

These are the same people who perpetually speak with an upwards inflection.
I mean, most of them don't know what gender they are from moment to moment, so you may as well be asking a toddler quantum physics questions if you want these kids to know basic American history.
They are constantly seeking validation from their peers. When they don't get it they think that their life is over.

Want stupid? Let me tell you, I work at a supermarket, a customer once said to me "what's the price on this? I don't speak Greek."
Remember that Squidward meme where he just throws his brain in the garbage? That was exactly how I felt.
I had a 70 yr old guy ask me if a t-bone was a good grilling steak. 90% of the population is worthless. Or just good at talking and emails.
Well then, you must be illiterate, because "I don't speak Greek" is an English idiom that means "I don't understand." Google it if you don't believe me.
@@rofylethe idiom is “It’s all greek to me”.
@@rofyle Actually I live in Greece. The customer(who was either Pakistani or Albanian) asked me to tell her the price of a product because she can't speak Greek, ACTUAL Greek.
The reason she is stupid is because there was nothing written on the price tag but the price itself of course, so asking me to tell her what it is because she doesn't speak my language is stupid. She didn't asked about the product, only the price.
Probably one of the greatest idiots I've ever met even though your comment put her to shame.

Last week was not good for my self confidence (1st round of exams be like that) but after seeing how dumb all the other zoomers are, I feel like I’m Einstein. Thanks Gundam
As a college student I was dumb but I was working and going to classes. Limited sleep and stress just makes you as dumb as you are when going to bed at night or just woke up. After getting out of school and getting good sleep and just relaxing, you can think and recall just about everything. I try to think that is the case with them, although I do know dumb older people, but they all on pot.
BY 5th grade I had all this on lock. They dont teach this to my kids. They do know all about RACE and WOMEN issues.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not learning a new language fast enough or certain skills well enough quick enough. This makes me feels like I'm doing ok.
As long as you’re learning, even at a snail’s pace it’ll add up as the years go by

It took me a while before I learned that you don't go to school to learn things. You go to school to become an obedient little dog who would make a good factory worker. You weren't graded on how well you knew the test material, so much in how much bullshit homework and the like you were willing to pump out.

This has been a complaint as long as I've been alive. Now, there absolutely are people out there that "don't retain information", to put it nicely, but at this point, it seems deliberate that most states in the US are basically not interested in any quality public education. And most parents don't do anything about it either.

I live in Europe, had a fun little incident with a teenage girl this friday on the bus.
She stepped on my foot while going towards the bus door. And I mean stepped as in putting the middle of her foot over the area above my toes, balancing her entire bodyweight over my foot and taking the step forward kind of stepping on. I immediately said "well excuse me" to which she responded by removing her face from her phone and straightening up her back, turning her head towards me and staring at me. I told her, "you just stepped on me, you could excuse yourself" in german, the local language. To which she didn't even twitch. I repeated the same thing in french which is also a commonly talked language and I got absolutely nothing from her, she just stared until her stop came and left. She doubled down by continuing to stare as the bus left. Kids have absolutely no respect nowadays, only an urge to go on socials.

Sadly this is pretty much the case no matter where you are, Gen Z all act pretty much the same. They are the first generation to grow up with the internet and social media so behaviors like these are more homogeneous.

I started Assassin's Creed 3 last month and it's incredible how much I've learned about American history with that game.
More than what I remember from my American civilization classes on campus.
Because the American "education" system is an absolutely embarrassing joke, especially for a developed 1st world country.
Same for me, Shin Megami Tensei, and various mythologies, religions and cultures from around the world.
I've learned many things from various games and hobbies. Like my multiplication tables of 28. (the inventory limit of Runescape), how to calculate profit per hour, and even how to fricken read from a combination of the anime and video games from Pokemon. The anime taught me the pronunciation and association, (like Charizard using flamethrower) and the video games gave me the text to learn how to match it with what happened. (like pressing flamethrower on Charizard, and Charizard using a flamethrower attack)
Granted, I think that this stuff is more about having a DESIRE to learn. I think, out of all things, that's what we need to focus on in our education. Even something as simple as googling your shower thoughts, like 'how to catch and cook rabbit' can bring interesting results. Like the fact that rabbit starvation is a thing, and that you need to cook them with fats, or at least eat something other then rabbits too to have a better balanced diet.
The question that gets me is their failure to know the year 1776, that is when the Declaration of Independence was signed for independence from England (Great Britain came later, and then the United Kingdom); because the annual 4th of July announces the date of celebration.

A handful of this knowledge honestly could be picked up on as you go through life and it gets documented into your brain. As with the case for me. All you have to do is pay attention a little. The irony of having a tiny super computer at your fingertips and instead of using that to boost your virtuous qualities, you use it to post cringe and do silly dances. These people have nothing insightful or good to offer anyone, they're unfortunately pawns.
