It is accepted that we live in a nation of declining education. The teaching of adequate history is history. The teaching of fundamental skills necessary to reason away the flawed logic of the hoards is woefully lacking.
I don't fear the increase of the phenomena that you have observed. I recognize it for what it is and speak out against it, but there's only so much we can do. It is the result of globalist designs and the natural progression of outcomes related to them. Ultimately, it is the fulfillment of prophecy.
In God's own time, this world is screeching to an ugly end. Sin is bad. The human race isn't smart enough to govern itself from a sinful existance. God is the only way out.
I hate to boil it down so susinctly, but time is short and the events you observe with horror only serve to prove it. IMO
This is certainly part of the problem. An additional factor, however, is that most in the West have become lazy intellectually. The general populace is persuaded by glib and superficial historical analogies, such as was examined in this Judt essay. People are generally taken by the use of these broad caricatures since most of the time they tend to be highlights of history and thus easily understood.
It is more laborious to actually examine the logical inference that is being claimed. It is more difficult to actually find out for oneself the historical and contemporary process which is being impugned (here the nature of Israel). It requires one to actually open a few historical texts and examine the material. To read something other than fiction. To spend some time with the material outside of the usual several hours in front of the T.V. Unfortunately for the mass of people these necessary steps are evidently too much.
