Is the one in five from the Economist/Yougov survey? I was mixing it up in my memory with this one from the ADL on antisemitic attitudes that showed one in five people surveyed believed six or more antisemitic tropes.

I'm still a bit dumbfounded on what to do with this kind of information. It makes no sense. We literally fought the biggest war ever about this, deployed weapons so horrifying they've never been used again, and 20% of people are like "oh yeah let's do it again"?!

Yeah, I got that from the Economist/Yougov survey.

20% of people under 30 strongly agree or tend to agree that the Holocaust it is a myth.

I have no idea what to do with this shit either. The most concerning thing to me is that lots of younger folks have the impressive long-term thinking to understand that our collective futures are fucked if we don't get the climate under control, but seem to be incapable of learning lessons from history. Nazis = bad and Holocaust = it happened, doesn't seem too hard to internalize. The camps are still there for fuck's sake. I realize I'm painting with a broad brush, but I'm not sure how else to explain these numbers.
