We all learnt it and we turned out just fine, millennials have to learn how to respect history 14m 2 likesReply jack92x Disrespectful to those brave folks that fought I thought. If kids can't be taught about our history they'll never develop any kind mental robustness. You have to know your history to not repeat it Freddie... 14m 1 like Reply

That day, Twitter user @Ryan_Butler9[3] tweeted, "Wrap him in cotton wool and tell him everything’s going to be alright. That’s how society is going these days. People young and old should be made aware and reminded of events such as WW2 to realise how lucky they are to live in such world today" (shown below, left). Redditor Den_Dre posted a dumbest man alive image to r/historymemes[4] about Freddie Bentley (shown below, right). The post received over 9,000 points (98% upvoted) in a day.

The ethnic, industrial, political, and technological events of WWII have and will be relevant for centuries to come. Understanding them is necessary to understanding modern geopolitical issues. Suggesting that people remain ignorant in order to tackle said issues is not just ignorance, but completely counter-intuitive.
