Firstly, you mean generation alpha. I'm in generation Z. I was born in the first year of Gen Z (1995) and I'm in my mid-20's. Gen Alpha started in 2010, and believe, based on my own family's interactions alone, Gen Alpha are old enough to speak to WWII survivours. Probably not enough to give a shit, but definiately old enough to hold a conversation.
Secondly, let's see- raised in 2030's= using internet by 2040's at the latest. That's just 20 years away.

People in the West don't really give a shit about the autrocities carried by the Japanese or the Communists (especially those idiots who still champion communism despite the mass human rights abuses everywhere it's been tried). Many Asians correctly see Japan as Westerners see NAZIzism, and many Eastern Europeans and non-PRC Chinese people (Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) communism the way that Westerns see NAZIism. The only difference is that Japan got away with it, and we still have idiots who champion communismUnited Muscovite Nations wrote:Tbh even that doesn't make much sense, except maybe the part about Europeans and moral superiority. There had been more effectively done genocides than the holocaust, both before and since (e.g. Armenian and Rwandan genocides)
What are you talking about? The Armenian Genocide was Orchestrated by Middle Easterners (the Ottomans) against other Middle Easterners (i.e. the Assyrians and the Armenians) in fact many of the victims were themselves European (the Greeks). The Rawandan Genocide was orchastrated by Africans (Hutu) against other Africans (Tutsi, Tswa and other Hutus). Neither were orchastrated by Europeans.

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Feel free to substitute in the Spanish Netherlands, Habsburg Spain, the Kalmar Union, or any of the other easily-as-significant-as-Brexit political changes in Europe over the years that most people have never heard of.
Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Maybe I’m just a history nerd but I know all of those way way too well. Thanks EU4!

One knows how, for example, in British schools kids have to learn a lot about the Tudors, people that lived 500 years ago? Or how in American schools kids learn about Columbus' arrival in America?
I was just wondering about how in the future, say, 500 years from now, kids in school will learn about Brexit? (if at all)
Will Brexit be just another generic history topic that the history curriculum will skim through, or will it be a huge section in the curriculum?
Please, share your thoughts (if you want to)

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Yeah I've heard of those as well but that's just me and my social sciences. I mention Kosovo and half of the people think it's a rapper, a quarter think it's an Italian sea side resort, and Albanians think "struggle for the fatherland" along with flashbacks to the Kosovo war of 1998

500 years from now the EU will be remembered like the HRE, ie nobody outside of history nerds or EUIV players

Quite a few, I would think.

Who?
This 'Macron' of whom you write is a mere footnote in this inevitable future which - through the power of prophecy - I have graciously shared with you.
No, our God-Emperor is the time travelling and now-immortal Constantine XI, plucked from 1453 by the European Time Police at the very moment that he cast aside the imperial regalia as his city fell to the Turks. Which is, of course, why his body wasn't, has never been, found.
Ankara - and the Republic of Turkey finally joined what we now call the Holy Roman European Imperial Union in the late 23rd century - tried to veto Constantine's appointment in 2368 AD on the basis of cultural sensitivity, but Turkey's accession agreement specifically stopped them from vetoing the choice of Emperor.
