“I’ve never heard the word Ayatollah in my entire life. Venezuela? Isn’t that in Spain?”

While Trump wants to lead his youth into a war against Iran where they will face certain death, young people in the US can’t even locate Iran on a map and live in complete ignorance.

This is capitalist society, where consumerism and ignorance are fostered so that the powerful can kill and steal whatever they want without anyone even caring.

    I mean yeah, I’m assuming this is Miami during spring break. It’s where all the failsons and daughters go to get shit faced for a week before returning to the classes they’re failing in.

    Not a great representation of the entirety of the american youth, but in my experience a lot of them think it’s funny to be uninformed. Knowing anything about politics makes you lose aura bro

      Gonna be honest, now that I know they’re in Florida, this video makes a lot more sense.

      The average californian is annoying as fuck, but I’ve never heard a complete drivel of a reaction as in this video. Though I also don’t spend much of any time around inebriated people.

        Lived in Florida for 10 years.

        The average White Floridian is genuinely braindead. You can always tell when someone comes from out of state.

          Socal is also filled with non-whites like myself, so perhaps I’m experiencing the benifets of living in a non-Yakkubian dominated area.

          I would expect Central-Cal denizen to be a lot less tolerable.

              I’ve been around OC, but it’s changed quite a bit as time has gone on.

              Although, now that you say it, I could totally imagine hearing this come from Huntington Beach, though maybe less likely from Anaheim or Cypress.
