@You.Just.Lost.TheGameyou say that, but northern European countries are some of the most 'godless' or secular. However they are also the most high-trust, productive , and happy countries on earth. Finland is the happiest country on earth , and also one of the least religious. Norway second , little religiosity also. So it's not simply religion that makes a society stable. South America is possibly the most densely Catholic area , however it is riddled with barbarism and corruption. The threat is certainly external, I believe your view is a great stumbling block for many Europeans trying to reclaim their country from the grips of depravity
I'm a Castizo from South America, i've been around, and i've come to the conclusion that almost everywhere is a disgrace except for majority european-descended regions. Call me what you want, but it's the truth. For those with European blood, listen to me, don't let them fool you, don't let your countries become like my own, a dysgenic, moronic corrupt dystopia. You're the greatest people who ever lived, be proud of it.
As humans we are all children of God that makes us equal. But each race is unique in its own race. White peoples are more of a jack of all trades not great at one specific thing but we are good at a little bit of everything so we pull together and make nations great. But when our own people want to attack our nation and bring us to third world levels and call everything racist it makes people want to go to war the European nations have been corrupted with the show of pride
South America was destroyed by western powers. The USA, and UK before them, funded the most corrupt players in every regional conflict so they would have friendly dictators who would pimp out their own countries and sell the colonisers cheap raw materials.
The White Man's Burden in the Philippines: The Americans valued the Spanish language more than the native languages because the native languages were not seen as the languages of civilized people. "As an incident of the educational scheme, literacy qualifications for the suffrage were confined to those who could read and write either Spanish or English. This provision, while designed to stimulate acquisition of English speech had incidentally the efFect of propagating grave misrepresentations of the situation. Attention has often been called to the fact that the qualified electorate is an extraordinarily small percentage of the adult male population, thus indicating that illiteracy generally prevails"---- Henry Ford, Henry Ford (1851-1925) was a political scientist, journalist, university professor, and government official. after Wilson became president, Ford was sent to the Philippines on a special mission, reporting directly to the president
An Absolutely amazing song and video. Really helps emphasize the meaning of Kiplings words which may not be noticed just by reading. I find that tying each line with an image helps to bring out the meaning. “For All we Have And Are,” and “Our Lady of the Snows,” which he wrote for my Country, Canada, are great poems. Kipling was so prophetic. And such a great tune as well. Going to learn it on my accordion. Thank you 🙏🤝.
Simply beautiful. Your rendition of Kipling's masterpiece tugs on my Anglo-Saxon heartstrings like a poetic lyre plucked by my soldiering ancestors with every note sung. Well done, lad.
Okay, this is an amazing song, for several reasons. Kipling's poetry gives us an amazing insight into what these soldiers, explorers, and administrators thought of themselves; it gives colour and energy to the concept of a 'civilizing mission'. You get an inkling of what it must've felt like to those people, and it's hard not to be a little envious. At the same time it's hard not to see his words in an ironic light. 'Fill full the mouth of famine' becomes really harsh in hindsight when taking the Irish Famine or the Bengal Famine into consideration. At the same time there's also a lesson there that Western countries would have done well taking to heart in recent wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan. 'By all ye cry or whisper, by all ye leave or do, the silent sullen peoples, shall weigh your Gods and you'. And all this is wrapped up and delivered to us in an amazing, jaw-dropping production. Chris, I love the stuff you're putting out. Please don't stop. Though if it's mainstream success you're looking for you might have to try some different material :D
Kipling's poem resonates to today - look at how charities try to "fill full the mouth of famine" with varying success. Is this the same impulse in different forms that drove so many in Victorian times ? Regardless real progress will come through education and a mind set to "teach a man to fish" - this seems to be having a profound impact in many countries leading to massive improvements in living standards versus even 30 or 40 years ago let alone 130. Good material delivered with spirit by Chris.
@@mrw6156 Imperialism was actually really good for the "teaching a man to fish" part of that. That's why the conditions in these countries, despite varying degrees of harshness from the Europeans, improved in living conditions for all people. They, after expelling the colonizers, collapsed into near-anarchy and are only now starting to recover.
I mean, no. It's literal. Famine was common before colonization and not after. European agricultural practices, and their spread, damn near ended famine across the globe. Damn near. We can't help corrupt foreigner governments hoarding their foreign aid.
I am not for the imperialism that Kipling wrote this poem to promote but I have to say that with these visuals it really makes me almost want to agree with it. In a vacuum that shot at 2:25 of the ships would make me want to join the military, but we know how that institution is doing these days.
@@chrisgardbardWell, idk if the American relationship with the Philippines counts as imperialism, since we took it off the Spanish after 300 years, so the imperialism was more or less done already when we got there, but he was encouraging America to take up the Philippines as a colonial project and join the rest of Europe in uplifting the world's savages by governing them, so it's kinda promoting imperialism. And we did take that invitation. The Philippines were an American territory for 50 years from the Spanish-American until after WW2. Tbf, the Philippines are really nice for the region, so it's not like that period of American governance was a crippling detriment to them.
@@chrisgardbard True, but none are as slapping as this! Also damn those are some exquisite paintings, had to track a few down by name, especially Soldiers of the Queen. As an returned serviceman (RAAF) I've got a soft spot for pageantry like that. Also, God Save the King!
I don’t mean to bring down the mood, but… Could the whole world be converted? Could this have been done by the European empires? Was this impossible because of, primarily, Faustian hubris? An imagining that the particulars of European norms (not Christian ones) were in fact universal? (And secondarily, greed for wealth and lust for power) Or are some cultures simply less capable of being Christianized? Are some peoples less capable of being Christianized? I am thinking particularly of China. I know that the European empires did good things for their ‘new-caught, sullen peoples’, the most obvious being infrastructure, but if the intent was solely virtuous and not prideful or greedy at all, it *might* not have looked like empire at all. I have come to think that virtue leads to success in the world, but also that sin parasitizes virtue. The fruit of virtue is lordship, lordship produces wealth and power, sin parasitizes wealth and power. Thus, you can only have a universal and eternal order if it is entirely free from sin. Virtue can produce something from the ashes, in which sin still exists but cannot expand its scale of action. When men with virtue raise up a great empire, their sins are given great wealth by which to wreak great evils. Thus it is said of the wealthy, that they have more responsibility to do good and that it is hard for them to enter heaven. That being said, a Christian empire, ruled by fallen men over fallen peoples though it is, still is far better than the atheistic ones of communism or other secular ideologies.

Your view is simplistic. Rudyards poem itself was written as satire. It was a pushback against the goals of Imperialism and hence, colonialism. However, to critique, you need to understand the historical context. Over a century ago, Britain and American colonialism was not thought of as conquering, nor genocide. Imperialism was a paternalistic ideal to civilize those that ‘needed’ to be burdensomely-dragged out of their primitiveness. Therefore, the same people would be replaced with their industrialized better-selves.
The original version is “take up”, but today’s version should be “take off”. I’m rather sick of having responsibility for other groups but not power over ourselves.
@@edgymandrill And that, my friend, is the white man's burden exactly as Kipling envisioned it. We could give it up, yes, but then who would keep the world's light burning? We have to persevere until, as the poem and song says, everyone is really at our level: intellectually, morally, economically,technologically... Or are we gonna allow others to tell us that it's okay to stone a woman for not wearing her face covered, that it's okay to cut powdered milk with chalk as long as it sells, that it's okay to kill another person if he doesn't profess the same faith or political belief or has the same colour of skin that us? Like it or not, the "western world" that the white men built is the furthest advanced, and all of us (not only the "white men" that the poem mentions, also the women and the people of all races) should take that weight and carry it. Too bad there are still cowards that want to elude the weight that, in this new age, all of us are due. I'm not sure I'm even white, I'm spanish and tanned and pretty sure I have gypsy and jewish ancestors, but damn right I'm taking my "white man's burden", and making a better world that I probably will never see. Sorry for the wall of text, got inflammed by the song.
@@edgymandrill I love the musical arrangement and poem, but I do agree that the underlying sentiment was not the best. The act of building ports and roads for the future should be done for your descendants, not sullen and thankless other peoples.
@@artbandit8364 you also have to think at the time that white people never even dreamed of EVER being in the situation we are in now. Still many lives and resources wasted on a fruitless venture, but I suppose that it was also just a part of our more altruistic nature? Or perhaps it was just idealism.
