David Hogg the Parkland activist has been in and out of the news a lot in the past several months.
With VP Mike Pence on the verge of speaking at the National Rifle Association Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Dallas, Hogg is one of the many gun control activists that are upset.
Activists are accusing Pence of ignoring gun violence victims and putting the “gun lobby” over Americans.

Recently, David Hogg has taken it on to explain nonviolent movements and wars, but it doesn’t turn out well for him.
According to ijr:
Parkland activist David Hogg on Sunday posted his thoughts on the world’s major conflicts and how they compare to different nonviolent movements. According to Hogg, wars bring nothing but more wars, and peaceful actions are the path to lasting peace.
Hogg used both World Wars, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War to illustrate his point:
David Hogg✔@davidhogg111
Throughout history violence and war only creates more of itself for example WWI->WWII->Cold War ->Korean War->Vietnam and up to today. While nonviolent moments like Gandhi’s, the suffrage movement or Civil Rights movement lead to peace and long lasting change. Ours will too.
In response, people gave Hogg a hip-pocket history class on how that is not always the case:

I’m going to gently suggest that you stop tweeting on this and take some classes in international relations before revisiting this topic. https://twitter.com/davidhogg111/status/990772803623415808 …
Sean Parnell✔@SeanParnellUSA
Well…
The American Revolution gave birth to the greatest republic in the history of the world.
Civil War brought about an end to slavery.
WWII destroyed the Nazi juggernaut & liberated concentration camps.List goes on & on.
When was your last history class kid? https://twitter.com/davidhogg111/status/990772803623415808 …

Dude… I hope your ignorance is based on your age, and not your intelligence. Your history teachers either didn’t do their jobs well, or you weren’t listening.
