I wonder if anyone could analyze education about war (and fascism) and how it correlates with the downfall of the History Channel.

It used to be wall to wall WW2 documentaries. And prior to streaming, sometimes there was nothing else on. So the channel was on A LOT while I was growing up.

Then they started with the Ancient Aliens and Ice Road Truckers shit and eventually phased the actual history out entirely.

Now it seems like the people who grew up during that period know nothing about this shit.

At least with Pawn Stars they would loop the items back to history a lot of times. (Don't actually remember if Pawn Stars was a history channel show.) But yeah, reality TV slop just filled so many channels.
