A very intelligent young guy at work asked me why Cuba was cut off by US for so many years
That led to his asking what Communism was.
He thought it sounded like a good idea and I explained why it did not work out.
People of my age grew up with these concepts as part of life but when you have to explain Cold War to a young person it sounds slightly ridiculous

You mistakenly said "younger colleagues" instead of "ignorant morons".
