Soros? Hah, pull scary words out of a hat, sure! I don't even care if it's accurate or not, because it's hilarious. They can't even go a few days of relative calm without desperately seeking drama. Let's madlibs this one for "generic smear for person in Trump administration":
[Administration official] [verb] at [location] backed by [scary, preferably Jewish rich person]-funded group that helped [verb] [scary person or country] deal with/for [any name ending in Obama or Clinton].

The reason it's so high for young people is because the majority of the world's young people are in developing countries, where you have less access to education and more reason to distrust narratives from other ethnic groups. If you tracked the rate of denial amongst purely the Western population but still with respect to ages, I'd be interested to see the results.

Steve Bannon sucked his own cock at a building whose street address is 666 backed by Kushner-funded group that helped write China deal for George Clinton
The ADL doesn't break it down by age for each country, but it does break it down by age for each religion. Using Christianity as a proxy for the West, the full report (hard to link, on my phone) finds that, weirdly:
Young Christians are MORE likely to deny the holocaust, but are LESS likely to be anti-semitic than older Christians.
Well how many tin foil hat wearing videos on YouTube denying real events originated from the US? A lot, I'd imagine...
Awful idea, since the fastest growing Christian area of the world is sub-Saharan Africa.
Yeah, maybe that was a bad idea
they might publish a full breakdown somewhere, but on my phone at work so can't find it.nature boy

Kelly must be taking a shit and not near him.
At least we know what Fox is focusing on this morning

Awareness being lower among young people is a given. Since it's not a cat meme.
I mean, it is tweets like that what make impossible to control the narrative of the white house. Whenever trump is alone watching tv, that shit happens, and the machine behind him has to readapt to a message that has changed without their knowledge.
Mooch's plan was flawed because of that, everyone that tries to control him will in the end get him angry and get dumped.

The fact that Germany is not in the "highest awareness" category is baffling to me.
More than 5% of Germans don't know what the Holocaust is? Thats shameful.

Those aren't threaded, he or his assistant puts ... to continue the tweet.
Late night/early morning tweets are most likely done by the the Cheeto himself

...conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

What an asshole.
I love how he's still touting his Supreme Court pick as a succes. Literally all he has after 6 months is a fucking justice that he didn't even really select.
This tweet is threaded! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/894512983384129536
But then he stopped threading them again lol
And that he had to break the rules to get on the court.

Not really disputing any of these numbers but any info-graphic that has a word "shocking" in it is a huge suspect. It kind of defeats the purpose of the info-graphic, now instead of processing the data, all I'm thinking is how biased it is (even though I have absolutely no reason to question it's validity besides the language used)...

Daily Caller's "bio" of the bot Trump retweeted:
I mean, the ADL exists to monitor anti-semitism/Holocaust denial, so that's probably why they'd describe it as shocking.
You're giving him too much credit. McConnell did all the hard work for him.
Are there any graphs of the various unemployment rate measures?
What happened in 89-90 that saw such dramatic change? Some unusual deregulation? Technology revolution? End of Cold War?

Technology is part of it, but it's mostly about heavy deregulation from the Reagan years finally being realized.

Yup and it makes the whole thing questionable. I do agree that forced objectivity is kind of a waste of time (even in news it's kind of impossible). BUT it's hard for me to see what's the purpose of info-graphic that is openly subjective. People who disagree with it will dismiss it right away and people who agree with it will just send it out to other people who agree with it.
Probably that the end of the pay rises for the common worker in the 80s started to catch up into the CEOs who decided the saved money could be better transfered to their pockets. And yeah, The trickle down economics from 1980-1988 from President Reagan.
People want to be told what to think. Those that don't can read the graph. It's irritating but unavoidable.

So I've been on vacation since Thursday, and only checking the news occasionally, but it doesn't seem like I missed anything big or interesting
I'm on vacation visiting family and my uncle put Fox News on. They're breaking 'scandalous' news about the Clinton/Lynch meeting and lionizing the Google engineer's manifesto. Such an insane bubble these people live in.
This is so clearly fanfiction.
How on earth does one adjective "make the whole thing questionable"?
There is nothing "subjective" about it, it's based on survey results, which are as objective a way of measuring public opinion as you can get!

This graph also does nothing to inform anyone who doesn't particularly care about the topic. I mean it's clear that people hold insane beliefs and that is particularly true among Israel's enemies. But how is that different that significant portion of US population believing at some point that Obama was born in Kenya? It's simply a slice of data without much context with a word "shocking" thrown into the mix.
Because proportions matter?
A fringe minority is a very different thing than a 63% majority!
It's not clear to many people in the west when people talking about the topic aren't using figurative language re: Israel! This is what makes it complicated!

The topic in question being... holocaust denial? It doesn't inform people not interested in holocaust denial?

Not if education is shitty in the specific country. I mean you can easily find large towns in the US where 63% of people believe that Obama was born in Kenya. US is just too mixed to have 63% agree even on truth (which is probably a good thing).
Just to be clear, I believe it's due to shitty education and government policy rather than anything more shady like this graph is implying (Specifically the word "shocking").
To paraphrase Shinra: Shitty people are not unique to any country, party, or ideological movement. The problem w/ discussing Israel is that like many other topics, people only look at the one we share a language with.
The central problem in the conflict screwing everything up isn't "lack of education", its that among all sides in the conflict, there's a large group of people who want to wipe the other off the map. Literally. Not Figuratively.
