On the opposite side of the Faith debate I saw this in a paper.

It has occurred to me that the Lord is sending Trump a message in Hurricane Harvey and the events that have followed.

Trump has ignored the messages of scientists who have been God's messengers in the attempt to make responsible his people down here on earth. Trump has made light of what these climate scientists have warned, and Trump has further rejected agreements among nations that would minimize and perhaps even correct the failures to act for the last 150 years.

We may have to face additional crises if we do not obey what is obvious care of the Earth.

"Something something Gaea-sus saith unto xir prophets, 'Lo, say unto those pale-skinned mongrels: Cease you to drive SUVs and turn again unto dwelling in mud huts, while your kings dwell on high in palaces between which they commute by private jet, lest I send another bad storm and endanger My chosen race, those of the skins of brown.

"'Checketh thy privilege, lords of shit.'"

Having a massive hurricane in an area that is very prone to hurricanes is not climate change. Swear to god, these people believe The Day After Tomorrow was a documentary.

The worst hurricane to ever hit the US happened in 1935 so this isn't anything new. Harvey is just the worst one in a decade. But of course everything is Trump's fault.
 
That's also pretty standard. Our concept of people from the past is pretty much black text on white paper; we're taught history as if it were lists of names, dates, and statistics, or "the biographies of great men", with no efforts at teaching that time is all one piece and that human nature means we'll do it again and again until the clock runs out. The people of the past were brute savages who lived in caves and believed that the world was flat, we're told, and we are the most enlightened and brilliant. Our "education" fails to make the past real to us, and it doesn't really touch our lives.

So when something bad happens in our own seeing, people who've not made an effort to connect to history meaningfully will see the Bad Thing as new and original and worse than anything that has ever happened before. And it's doubly so for people who have no empathy, because anything bad that happens to them is worse than anything bad that happens to anyone else.

And also Anti-Trump Hysteria. There's that, too.

They'll also connect the Bad Thing to fiction that they're fond of, such as all the comparisons to Harry Potter and Star Wars. Comparing real life to fiction isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but the fiction they're using isn't deep nor does it actually comment on current events.

To put it another way, people compare Trump to Voldemort saying they're exactly alike when anyone with some semblance of reality will tell you Trump is not an immortal wizard who plans on conquering the world. If someone compared Trump to say, Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World and strictly applied their themes, then the comparison would actually be legit. But no one does that, so we're left with Trump=Voldemort comparisons that make no sense, but it's the only thing they can connect to real life with.

It really depends on the educator. Some of us had history teachers who helped made it more engaging. One of the problems though is this culture of fast paced media saturation. One big thing happens, later, everyone forgets. It only eats up what really matters, barring some needed good change.

Oh, no doubt, but most haven't been so fortunate, and there's still the underlying broadbrushing and bias (e.g., the Crusades were an excuse to murderize brown people; all women were legally cattle until Suddenly Suffragettes; the Holocaust was only about killing Jews and brown people, etc.).

And then you've got the people who don't care if something is true or not, as long as they're not triggered by the reality that they're only human, just like everyone who went before, and it's possible that they might be just as wrong and just as flawed.
