So it's not a matter of 'they are nazis' but more of an indictment of the american educational system?

It's both. The normalization of anti-semitic conspiracy theory and neo-nazi ideology though internet culture and mainstream politics is a big reason Holocaust denial has become so common - and that is a result of, among other things, the failure of the American education system and culture.

the American education system is being replaced by social media. all that's left is the american babysitter system.

I don't believe the anti-semitic side. Here in Canada, nobody is a nazi. It's not our side of the war.

If there's any legitimate holocaust denial, it's coming from 1 source.
