Does anybody else think it’s funny a Chinese Canadian high school teacher has an after school extracurricular class where he gets to ramble on about "predictive history" and people on the internet watch it like they think he’s a real professor?

Yeah I saw that too. He said something like "you’ve probably heard that the Anglo Saxon civilizations were the most advanced civilizations in the history of the world but really it was the Germans." And then something else about there not being evidence for the holocaust. Which is dumb because I’m American and I’ve been living in an English speaking society my entire life and I’ve never heard one person say Anglo Saxon culture is the most advanced the world has ever seen, nobody says or believes that. There’s definitely evidence for the holocaust, I’ve seen all the pictures of piles of dead Jews and everything, and people can go to the camps on tours. Then Germany, saying Germany was the most advanced society doesn’t make any sense if you look into the history of Germany. They didn’t unify until the 1800s and they industrialized after Britain.

Of course, there are some white nationalist movements in the US filled with uneducated thugs that say America is for Anglo Saxons. But even normal people who think America is the best country to ever exist, most people wouldn’t say we’re an Anglo Saxon society because even though we speak English, if you actually go around America asking white people where they came from, Italy, Germany, and Ireland will be more common answers than British. Most white people just immigrated here, learned English, stopped speaking and teaching their children German and Italian during WWII, and then just sort of blended in. But Anglo Saxons are actually a pretty small minority in the US.
:Chemistry was sometimes called “Germany’s national science” around 1900. If you wanted to become a serious chemist back then, you almost always had to study in Germany.
So your instinct that Germans historically had very strong chemical technology is actually very much grounded in history.
But of course the Nazis had to set everything back because they just had to have their violence

Then even if they are British, British doesn’t mean Anglo Saxon. Only England is Anglo Saxon. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (then the Republic of Ireland which is not British) are all Celtic nations. And Celtic languages aren’t related to Germanic languages or Romance languages. Irish doesn’t even have the same word order as English.

There's a wealthy New England type that definitely believes this, but they'd only say it around their own because it would get pushback in mainstream society.
It's possible he went to school with these types, and he'd overhear something like that.
