The idea that race as a biological concept impacts and shapes the political development of societies is racist drivel and complete nonsense.

How about a video on Ukraine ?
There seems to be a lot of pieces about how El Salvador’s bitcoin adoption was a failure, however after reading a few of them I can see they didn't have anything meaning to prove the title.
How was it a failure?
Seems this is just one of the many times some private interest has tried to smear Bitcoin in fear of it.

The affirmation of our president is worse than what krout understood: he said that we came from "the boats", but when talking about Brazil, he said "la jungla". He was talking about the Amazonian jungle. In the end, the stupidity of the average Argentinian can not be subestimated, not even our president's.

Fun fact: North Korea was, for a brief moment in the 70s, the most economically developed nation in Asia. This was because their government succesfully played off the Soviets and the Chinese against each other, getting massive developmental aid from both. I guess that still didn't turn out great.
PS: I love this 'no punches withheld' Kraut.
Like the Republic of Vietnam. Also Syghman Rhee fucked up.
North Korea started off as the more economically successful state. Historically the North was always the center of Korean geopolitical influence while the South was mainly a center for farming and rearing livestock due to its large arable land area (the North meanwhile is more mountainous and has a cooler climate, making it less well-suited to growing crops). Pyongyang was the capital city of Korean empires and most of the war industry on Korea while it was ruled indirectly by Imperial Japan was situated in the North. If you look at many famous South Korean cities you will see that many are also very close to the North. Seoul for example is less than 50 km from the DMZ as the crow flies.
Then in 1949 Kim Il-sung the Old Big Belly came into power via a general election in North Korea, and to this day the Kim family continues to steal openly from the country's economy.
@@ryanjonathanmartin3933 North Korea was also far more appealing/successful than South Korea for a while after the split due to South Korea being consumed by corruption and state murder etc kind of like South Vietnam. They cleaned up though in the 80s and by the 90s NK economy collapsed and its now a total joke
@@rektanglex Yep. Still amazes me how some people think NK has a sustainable political system. It's total garbage.
NK was never really in the pocket of the Soviets like the Americans pretended at the time.
The Soviets were content to let Korea do it's thing, but the USA was not, hence the zones of control and the USA's 3 year military government that rehired all the Japanese collaborators, banned labor unions, and forcibly shut down protests and executed dissidents.
in the early postwar years, the north was a better place to live while the American occupied South was no better than it had been under Japanese occupation.
"North Koreans are not racially inferior, they're just communists, and therefore politically, economically and institutionally inferior" That's one hell of a burn XD
Equivalent of “just built stupid”
They're barely communist though, strict to the studs they're just a theocratic fascist state with some red paint on it, Vietnam is also "communist" but they're more closer to a liberal democracy and have achieved quite a lot societally and economically.
I'd posit authoritarianism at it's core is a flesh eating disease that consumes the nation inside and out shutting down the organs that support society, poison the blood in it's veins, and devour anything of worth for its own personal gain

As a black man, I find it interesting that in African American communities, there exists a "tension" between American-born black people and African-born black people.
You see, I'm mixed; not racially but culturally. My father comes from a tribe in Africa while my mother was born, raised, and lived in the USA her whole life. Not to mention that I've been to plenty of black majority schools that had both American-born and African-born students.
African-born people tend to complain that American-born people are not religious enough, not disciplined enough, not educated enough, etc. while American-born people make fun of African-born accents, "barbaric" cultures, and the widespread poverty in their home countries.
This isn't even a racial divide... it's a cultural one. But yet in my experience, it may as well be a racial divide, because there are so many similarities between racial tension and cultural tension.
Basically like Europeans and Americans same thing.
Same with Indians. I am indian from India now living in abroad, but Indians born and raised in abroad seem to be cultural different. The Indians bought up in abroad are even more believe in caste system and still hold on to it.
Same thing about latinos born in Latin America and latinos born in the US, I'm mexican and i can't get along with my Mexican-American cousins
The barbaric elements are real.
this sounds like what is happening at Balkans. All whites, but culturally radically different to the point that they kill each others for being from "that other nationality".

Haiti's misfortune is actually a sad tale that honestly deserves a video of its own.
It’s not misfortune. It’s punishment for being the first successful slave revolt.
@@erozionzeall6371 was gonna say the same thing. The US proably owes billions for land stolen from Haiti. Not to mention Haiti was forced to buy it's freedom the France, the county that enslaved them. I'm sure you know this stuff but most people have no idea.
France bullied Haiti out of its national wealth and doomed it to crippling debt and poverty. This was the punishment for successfully rising up against slavery and French colonial rule.
Haiti's early history was at the very centre of world affairs. It's independence inspired the many Latin revolutions afterwards and they had hosted non other then Simon Bolivar. The revolutions success ended Napoleon's influence on the western hemisphere. Tragically the revolution never lived up to it's promises.
@translumination2002 They didn’t end Napoleon’s influence, Napoleon’s influence in the Western Hemisphere was mainly ended by Spanish, Portuguese, British, German and Irish blood. And that’s just the peninsula. Never mind Germany and Russia where the biggest battles were fought
As a southern Italian, who lived his childhood when it was still, by and large, assumed by northern Italians that they were inherently more intelligent than southern Italians, I really appreciated your video. Institutions are everything, as you said. I would add that getting rid of toxic, corrupted institutions is really hard. That is why southern Italians just leave their homeland.
And yet again despite being the most present element in the video we’re ignored. Whatever. From which part if Italy are you ? I’m Sardinian living in Tuscany
Northern italian whose paternal granpa was southern (but moved at age 10 and had too many strokes to remember so he hated southerners) here, i just enjoy the t word priviliges my last name grants me, and the occasional visits from repatriated descendants of distant relatives are really nice
I may be Italian by blood (well half, the other half is Anglo), but I've lived my whole life in the US, and I can't help of think of that line by Furio from the Sopranos.
"Fuck them...but I never liked Columbus"
"Woah, why?"
"In Napoli, a lot of people are not so happy for Columbus. Because he was from Genoa."
"What's the problem with Genoa?"
"The north of Italy always had the money and the power. They punish the south since hundreds of years. Even today, they put their nose up at us like we're peasants. *spit* I hate the north."
Damn, so that's why i was born in Argentina
I attended a large urban Catholic school in NYC in the late 1980s. I'm Haitian-American, and there was a large minority of Black Caribbean, African and Latino students, but the majority of the school were White ethnics from Eastern Europe (Polish, Czech, Romanians) and the Mediterranean (Italians (of course), Greeks, Christian Arabs). 90% of the students at my private Catholic school were either children of immigrants (like me) and immigrants. I met my first WASP in college! Anyway, a Sicilian friend of mine in homeroom would often tell me how Northern Italians considered Southern Italy Africa. I was never sure if he meant it as an insult, because....he actually said it with pride.

It is worth noting that South Korean democracy is a much more recent phenomenon; for decades it was something between a paternalistic dictatorship and a military junta. Perhaps its story could serve as a blueprint for other dictatorships transitioning to democracy.

I have my suspicions that something more happened than "being left on their own" to southern Italians. "Being left on your own" worked amazingly for Ardeal in Romania during the chaos of the 90s. It worked great for many parts of states that were too busy dealing with something else to care about establishing order and putting more restrictive laws. Independent states tend to function beautifully, or states that are governed by a rule of law that promotes freedom. The exception to this is in some parts of Sub-Sahara, for reasons that are obvious to people who aren't naive, but even in the rest of Africa prosperity comes when the government can't oppress.
We have to be careful of this whole "abandonment" narrative, acting as if people can't build their own things. Black people in America were not just "abandoned" by segregation; they were actively restricted from occupying through merit many of the functions in society that would have rightfully belonged to them. THAT is what crippled their progress in society, not the fact that society just let them be. And society now "caring" isn't helping too much either.
How are parts of Africa the exception. The most free countries in Africa are the richest.
@Hello World all the things that you well sythesize were missing in the video and one who doesn't know them, after viewing this video, would go on about blaming the northeners' racism for the underdevelopment of the south, i think this is a very dangerous oversimplification.
Yea it's not like they were "left on their own", more like deliberately underfunded and discriminated against
@@MCArt25 Absolutely. Time and again when I see "left alone" being used as the culprit for why a group of people are worse off than another, I believe it's lacking a lot of context. Being "left alone" is when you can just do whatever you want, and that *clearly* was not the case in Southern Italy.
In the country I live in, there's been a long and difficult history with the arrival and settlement of the Roma (gypsy) people. Wherever gypsies were left alone and just treated equally under the law, they thrived. But in other parts of the country, they were refused opportunities and ended up having to resort to some unsavory things just to get by.
To say that being left alone is discrimination is to go by the logic that the first settlers in Greece were discriminated against by having to build their own Polis.
Now, if someone came in after that and conquered them (i.e., the Romans in the 140s BC), that would probably hinder them a little, methinks.
Thank you for this video, as a African growing up in the West you have no idea how frustrating it is when everyone automatically assumes I have low intelligence simply because of my race, and how people view pursuing an education as me “acting white”.
haha relatable but my ancestors were brought here by ship
I’ve been critical of “Anglo-Saxon” vision. A country can be westernized and Christianized and still be independent and geopolitically equal to “white” countries because the virtues and culture of Christendom isn’t and wasn’t tied to race; that is a myth created by modern secular man.
What's even worse black people is when you start wearing reading glasses like me, everyone suddenly starts treating you like your some gifted genius. The shift of perspective is almost hilarious.
Who says you're acting white though?

@@mementomori845 I'm sorry 😅. What's blood and soil?
@@mementomori845 It means "Son/Child of the Land", ie. natives. It's a racial term to distinguish between ethnic Malays, and other indigenous Malaysian ethnicities, and everyone else in Malaysia(Indians, Chinese, Arabs, etc). Indonesian here, and we have a similar term, "pribumi", means the same thing. It was a government policy veneered as affirmative action, but really was a proactive measure against the Chinese minority. It wasn't as bad as apartheid, but very racist, and effects of it is still felt today.
@@MM-vs2et and it especially led to a lot of corruption in Malaysia
Another common misconception that proponents of racial theories ignore is how incredibly diverse human populations are in Africa (and the rest of the world). Africa is extremely genetically diverse, from the pygmies in Central Africa which are some of the smallest people to the Masai tribe in Kenya which are the tallest people on earth. There are thousands of genetic sub groups in Africa that have long and deep histories of migration and intermixing all over Africa and the world. Racists just group all of them together by the color of their skin and call them "black people". For any racial theory to be true you would have to ignore that diversity.
Exactly. Even Whatifalthist and Masaman discuss this
As far as I'm aware, the point about North Korea 'discovering' unicorns and deluding their population into believing in them is based on a mistranslation and misunderstanding. They were saying they discovered Kiringul, a cave which is very important to Korean folklore and history, which was said to be the home of the Kirin (mythical creature). As far as I can tell the announcement about this wasn't intended to be taken literally to mean that Kirin/unicorns are real, but that the cave from their folklore related to the idea of them had been found.
Ye
Finally, Someone said it!
Kirin sounds like a Koreanisation of the Chinese Quilin, which is a "Mythological" creature that the Chinese had they turned out later to be a Giraffe.
The Kirin is significant in Japanese myth as well. They even named a brand of beer after it. What higher honor is there?
@@moritamikamikara3879 According to Marco Polo, for one. He claimed to have been present when Kublai Khan was presented with a Quilin[sic] as tribute. The creature Polo describes we clearly recognize as a giraffe. Other Kirin sightings are just as easily recognizable as rhinos.
Racism is particularly depressing when you start to consider how much production and innovation has simply been lost by building policy around racism and racial superiority.
As with all things, we must look at the other side of the coin: neofascism gave rise to national socialism, which is racialized, which collapsed in such a spectacular fashion that fascism as an ideology is turbodead. Were it not for the (unwilling) sacrifice of millions of jews, people might still today go "well real fascism hasnt been tried yet", instead its just a dead ideology.

From the 1970s to the 2000s, the Black-American and White-American IQ gap has decreased from about 15 to about 10. So one can either accept the conclusion that Black-Americans have all happened to have genetic mutations that improved their IQ over the course of 1 generation, or maybe, just maybe, environmental factors play a role, especially given IQ scores themselves have changed over time.
Love your videos mate. Amazing that you referenced my country. 11:16 Trinidad is approximately 40% black and 40% indian. Not entirely sure as to how they "built" their prosperity when most of the revenue is oil and natural gas related. Without it the entire country collapses. The same mantra as venezuela or saudi arabia is being followed with little being done to diversify. Crime also runs rampant and we're often compared to Afghanistan. The country isn't the best example of wealth.
That's pretty wild, I'm sure basing almost your entire economy on a finite resource that's on the way out is pretty not good. But like, what do you do, an island only has so many possibilities for economic growth. I'm sure tourism is up there but can't rely on that all the time either. What do you think is up with the crime rates? I checked and saw the violent crime rates have been on a steady increase since like the 70's but I also didn't see the ratio of murders to population size so maybe proportional to population size it could be more balanced but you would know better obviously. is it only violent crime or has non violent stuff gone up like crazy too? I'm sure the pandemic didn't help with that but what do you think the reason for the high crime is? cheers man hope your all good.
It's also weird that he mentioned Jamaica in this example, considering the numerous problems that the country has. The Bahamas was probably the only valid example there, because they did indeed build their own wealth from the ground up and don't have as many problems as the other two.
@@alexczech8468 I think a country like this would need to follow along the lines of what singapore did to become wealth without any natural resources. Or the Norway model whereby oil revenue is controlled by a separate entity from the government and the government has limited access to the wealth with most of the wealth being used to push diversification or invested into other countries for passive income.
Crime is always high over here. We tend to be in the top 10 highest crime rate countries in the world. Because the country is used as a hub for cocaine transportation organized crime and gang crime is always huge. The government doesn't have a clue on how to solve it with recent politicians saying it's just "a part of life" and to be fair I don't know what can be done to solve it either. This isn't a country where you can afford to leave your door open at any time as non organized crime is very common.
Corruption is rampant with government projects costing at least 10 times their original amounts.
Its sucks over here to be honest. There is social mobility dont get me wrong but many people get degrees only to get a salary barely above minimum wage if they get a job at all.
Most if not all government services are also extremely slow which annoys me to no end. You can go to a government hospital and wait for 10 hours before getting service. I once booked an MRI and it took them 1.5 years to call me for it. I even recently got a house plan and the government literally takes 6 months to a year to approve it. A year of you just... Waiting there. These are the things that put the country back really badly.

I hope when you are ready to go that you'll have the opportunities that you deserve. I would recommend if you deicide to come to the US then it might be best to pick a blue state. the conservative party in this county is pretty keen on continuing it's crusade on unions and labor rights for workers. not to mention most of the highest earners don't pay shit in tax so in a lot of red states a few people have so much money but they still have shit schools and infrastructure like roads and bridges and public libraries. Many disadvantaged communities are also in what's called a food deserts where access to qulity resonably priced nutricious food is becoming more difficult. When people already are at a disadvantge financly and with their time, and a mcdonalds is open 24 hours right down the road it enables a difficult situation to break out of. also to be fair the blue states do have a higher income tax but it's obvious that the tippy top still don't contribute enough. I'm sure you are also aware of our supreme court being a danger to woman and now possibly other minorities and marginalized groups. Right wing extremism is on the rise and responsible for about 75% of politically motivated violence in this county but we're hoping to take a step in the right direction in our mid term elections coming up next month.

By your logic, we can’t conclude that whites are taller than south koreans since there is a height difference between south koreans and north koreans due to malnourishment.
Us Italians, and at large the people inhabiting our peninsula have invented and discovered so many great things. From great institution and empires like Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence, to technological achievements like batteries and electricity, the radio, nuclear fission, the combustion engine, the light bulb. We created so many beautiful things, from art to music, with Leonardo and Michelangelo, with Verdi and Vivaldi.
Still, why is it that when it comes to the most horrible creations, we are also the ones responsible? What an ambivalent creative dilemma.
With any culture that produces great things, they can be a great good, or of great evil.
Because we are an extremely ingenious people, in both good and evil. We can create the most beautiful art, make the most important discoveries and commit the most horrible crimes.
Kinda sounds apologistic.
Lombroso did not create the pseudoscience of phrenology, he merely brought it to a wider audience, or made it mainstream tied in with scientific racism.

As a Dominican myself, it's sorrowful and lamentable that our neighbors endured such acts of horror as the Parsley Massacre on the hands of the fascist dictatorship that then ran the country. And further still, that even before and up to the present day millions are yet used and abused as a source of cheap labor for things like agricultural and construction work or as housekeepers in our households (in many cases, under horrendous conditions).
I cannot say that I don't believe that there's something inherent to Haitian culture that inhibits to an extent the formation of strong political institutions and broader social cohesion and economic development, because honestly I have the strong feeling that this might be the case to some degree. But, at the same time, it also seems clear to me that the exploitative arrangement of their existence since the days of Saint-Domingue, that in many ways hasn't ever truly gone away and in which I regretfully must admit my own countrymen take part, is the primary cause for the most crippling of their woes.
I have always held great respect and admiration for the Haitian people. Some of the people I've ever loved most outside of my own family have been Haitian women who took care of me while my single mom worked hard to put food on our table. All my best wishes go to them, and I am happy that we in the DR do actively work to provide Haiti with economic and social relief, and our institutions work to limit people smuggling and allow Haitians to work legally and with full protections, even if it's hard to go against business interests and prevailing prejudices.

Haiti is a story of a miracle happening: a successful slave revolt within a chattel slave system, followed by the inevitable and protracted backlash against the new state it formed. Haiti was frozen out of the global economy as a result of its status as a *former* slave colony. For decades it paid reparations to France, to the tune of $30 billion! How can you call a country a failure when the most powerful nations in the world did not want it to succeed, and what's more, were heavily invested in it not becoming a positive example to their enslaved populations?
@crazypantz3492 The US did succeed fighting one of the most powerful empires. This is true. Many of the rebels were quite wealthy landowners, but many on the rebel side were not. I'd argue more were in the latter camp than the former. It really is a true underdog story for the ages.
Then again, they also had the backing of the other super powerful European state, France. French support was critical for the success of the revolution. Could we have done it without them? Maybe. Probably would've taken longer.
Another point of divergence from Haiti is what came after. We continued trading with Great Britain and with France. We continued benefitting from the wealth generated by slave labor (and even from the trans-oceanic slave trade, due to the carve-out in the constitution protecting it for a period of time).
I'm not saying that the American Revolution was unimpressive or not a good thing. It was both, in my opinion. But there are reasons why the Haitian Revolution that came after it did not result in as wealthy, as powerful, or as successful a country as the United States.
Some of those reasons are geographical. We had a continent to plunder, and they had (part of) a small Caribbean island. But, the people of the United States also benefitted from the white supremacy that had been created in Europe and imported into their colonies. A white supremacy that meant, even as we broke from their Empire, the British still saw us as kin, or at the very least, as people. People with whom they and other European states could do business.
I won't get into all the other benefits white supremacy and colonialism provided the white citizens of the US, but here's a few.
Slavery, as I mentioned earlier, is the biggest one. Followed by our centuries long genocide of Native Americans and the theft of their land. Our war of conquest against Mexico and taking half their land. It goes on.
I see no incongruity between my earlier comment and the evidence you provide by pointing to the American Revolution. The former arguably led to the latter, by way of the French Revolution (in more ways than one), but they differ in many important ways. These differences account for the different long-term outcomes.

As a Brazilian, I've encountered these arguments before, mainly from Argentines that suffer from being terminally online in competitive games.
I've always seen this kind of logic as something only unremarkable people promote. When you are someone that is consistently mediocre in everything you do and know you will never help improve the lives of others, but still cannot internalize you need to change your ways to be someone, then you tend to fall into the pits of racial superiority bullshit.
Because that is the only place where you feel that you are special. Not through effort and merit, but by birthright. Because nothing else in this world will make you feel like you are something, then racial superiority theory will, because even though you are being consistently outsmarted and outperformed by those who are supposedly below you, you somehow are still better and more evolved than them. Somehow and without any evidence of such.

An interesting counter consequence is that one's whiteness can be perceived as a badge of privilege negating any potential for cultural, historical and political trauma. As a white argentine who lives in Europe, it can be incredibly frustrating to be judged when proclaiming to pertain to either a 'Minority' or 'Disadvantaged Community' or to come from a 'Developing Nation' because, 'You're just as white as us!'. Particularly when one's whiteness cannot be consistent wherever one goes. It is easier to be considered 'White' as a Hispanic man in Europe, than it is in the US, for example.
We need to end the distinction, no matter how subconscious it may have become in modern society, that 'Whiteness = Prosperity'

I’m a white, straight Australian with Anglo heritage. This speaks so much for me in the fact that I as a person have been labelled as a “coloniser” a “racist” and a “white supremacist”. I was always labelled this because of one simple sentence i followed: “I don’t care who you are”. This idea of racial superiority just boggles my mind. I refuse to give anyone special treatment because of their complexion or accent, we as humans have exchanged knowledge and cultures since the dawn of our species, the fact that there would be a “lesser race” just doesnt make sense and it sometimes ticks me off that this debate still goes on to this day. All this is doing is just pushing more people to the extremes of thinking that white people are bad or people of colour are inferior. Which is just sad and heartbreaking to see.
They're basically arguing that it is your responsibility to help right the wrongs of the past, which in principle most people can agree with, but when it becomes a "responsibility", the question on what exactly defines "right" becomes very important and debatable, which is where most people start to disagree.
@@leon-jj9dv I don't agree with such a sentiment. Its my responsibility to right MY wrongs, not the wrongs of someone one hundred years ago towards someone else's ancestors, regardless of if the former person is related to me or not.
@@mappingshaman5280 In principle I do agree with you. However there's an argument to be had here. Here's an extreme scenario for argument's sake: Suppose the state you grew up in was founded upon the exploitation of another race. E.g. all the wealth your state has accumulated is based upon slavery and theft. Then I'd argue you do in fact have a responsibility to right those wrongs of the past. By giving back stolen goods for example. Because you yourself have benefited greatly, albeit passively from this past injustice.
In the real world there's no such black and white. There's always grey of course. It just depends how dark the grey of your nation is.
@@EnnoMaffen every state in history has been founded on the exploitation, expulsion or oppression of one ethnic group or another. As an example Rwanda had a history of tutsi oppression of hutus long before a Belgian ever set foot there. The arab nations of the world used to have large Christian populations. Now many of them are high 90% muslim. If you can find a state which doesn't have slavery, oppression, brutality in its history, I will point to you a state which basically has no history.
@@mappingshaman5280 finally, someone with common sense.
I want to point out that large christian population in Arabia converted to Islam either through conquest or trade, but fairness to religious minorities varied depending on the dynasty, the rashidun were fair, the Umayyad were not.
A good example is that my country's history (Algeria) and our neighbors is that of rebellion as even though we became Muslim the Umayyads imposed heavy taxes on my ancestors because they were not Arab. Although we are not innocent as we had a history of piracy predating any Islamic conquest.
So that proves your point, why should the Arab feel shame for what happened centuries before? Why should I feel shame for the piracy done before?
The most interesting part of the two koreas to me personally is that in the beginning, the north was nuch better off than the south, because the Soviet Union pumped so much capital and goods into the country (Think Maschinery, factories etc). However, once the Soviets stopped pumping into the north, and truh Horrendus mismanagement and a greedy elite, the South eventually blasted past the north and left it in the dust. More so, pissing off the entire wolrd by testing nukes in a feable attempt to stay in power dosent help either.
That's the important point way back in the 60s and early 70s based on raw economics data average North Korean would be considered a better off than his Southern counterpart (as you said due to number of investments in the country by USSR).
It just underlines Kraut's thesis that "Institutions matter". You can have large amount of wealth at some point (like Argentina in late XIX century, Venezuela in 1950s, USSR and North Korea in late 60s or Libya in 1970s and Saudi Arabia today) but due to defunct institutions all this wealth would be lost and wasted due to inefficiency and corruption. But even poor countries with working institutions like Namibia, Ireland, Norway or South Korea can become successful.
imo North Korea is a marcher state, whether its overlord is the USSR or the PRC. Now that the PRC subsidizes North Korean economic needs, there is little to no incentive to develop much in domestic manufacturing or other economic sectors.
@@090giver090 Basically one of the most wrong beliefs dueing the korean war is Both North and South korea were puppet state. This is wrong. The north korea leader Kim basically killed every communist leader that was pro china or USSR during the 60s when the sino soviet split happened.
Meanwhile in the south dictator Rhee was not liked by the US. US originally wanted other far right Korean independent fighter to be president and vice president but Rhee assasinated one of them while the other submitted to Rhee. So US choose to support him and he was absolutely a pain to the US. During Japanese surrender he demanded Tushima (a Japanese island that was historically, ethnically, culturally Japanese) to Korea. When the allies refused he had plans to use Korean soldiers that were pro Japanese to invade the island. Also he asked for weapons to invade north korea. US ignored him and announced the Acheson plan. When the korean war happened Rhee wanted MacArthur plan of nuking manchuria to happen. Also he refused to sign the peace treaty. So thats the reason why theres no south korean signature in the korean war peace treaty.
Also Rhee was still anti Japanese during the Korean war. He sent 500 soldiers to sink any Japanese fishermen that tried to fish in dokdo. He killed about 300 fishman if I remember correctly. And this made Japan and the US very unhappy. Finally when US told him they had to end the Korean war Rhee ordered about 10,000 north korean and Chinese soldiers to be released. When the US heard this they had plans to assassinate him but in the end they gave him a proposal saying if he agreed for peace the US would place troops in south korea. This is the reason there are US troops in south korea. US didn't want troops in south korea. South Korea president forced them to. Also later Korea dictator Park had good relations with US at first but it all changed after Vietnam war. At the time North korea had sent multiple assassins trying to assassinate him. The north also sent soldiers to invade south korea multiple time. Rhee actually created a suicide squad made of ex convicts to send to north korea for revenge but it had to be stopped because US declared the Nixon doctrine. This resulted in an incident where the suicide squad got angry, rebeled and tried to kill the president ( search 'unit 684 rebellion') Finally Rhee realized US couldn't be trusted and made plans for nukes. The US agency learned of this and threaten to remove US troops from the Capital. Rhee laughed and said he had now no reason to stop nuclear development. US paniking sanctioned companies in Belgium and France that was helping south korean develop there nuclear energy. Of course Rhee said to the US he had given up but in reality he had already sent spies to Canada to steal nuclear energy. According to south Korean files just before Rhees death they had 90% technically and equipment to make a nuclear weapon.

Kraut does have a LOT of inaccuracies sprinkled through out, so be careful. High level analysis and overview is spot on though.
Very good video. It also adds onto the notion that societal structures do in fact matter especially when it comes to any people group in any country who struggle. However some people ignore that and dump everything on personal responsibility. Especially here in the US where the "pull yourself by your bootstraps" and simply labeling people as being "lazy" are very common sentiments.
Well maybe the idea that "pulling yourself by the bootstraps" is a thing that is possible and legitimate to try is in and of itself one of those societal structures
@@manlymannysmanymediocremem7026 pulling oneself up by the bootstraps is not a societal structure. However societal structures can be built to help individuals pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
@@joshuacowlord2933 Exactly. It is a lot easier to pull yourself up by your bootstraps when you have easier access to money and loans for small business, easier access to higher education and people who are supportive of that mentality.
Just because someone manages to make it to the top without those things doesn't mean the oppressive systems don't exist, just like how someone who is born into a rich family with a college education becoming homeless and a drug addict doesn't mean the system always works.

@@richyhu2042 You just made a pretty good point for personal responsibility.
The rich man with a college degree becomes homeless whilst a poor man can pull himself up by his boot strapps.
This means that even though societal forces laid on these people for their lives to go particurally bad or good it turned out that their own life choices had a greater influence on their life.
You can argue how much what accounts for Individual success but the only thing a man can control is himself.
Funny thing about your belief on if someone is responsible for his problems is that you probably didn t decide that because it depends on your personality.
Pulling yourself up by your bootstrapps is a pretty good societal structure and it is one if it is build into the culture of the society.
Because culture is a fundamental part of a society if you know it or not.

7:26 Just wanted to point out that Antisemitism in Mussolini's Italy was nothing compared to Nazi Germany's, not only did Mussolini had a Jewish mistress who was a member of Mussolini's facist party, so were many jews as unlike in Germany, Italian facist did not see race as being as important as nationality was, so as long as Jews place their nationality as Italias over their Jewish one it was mostly fine. Even after under pressure from Hitler Mussolini did enact antisemitic laws he very lacked luster in enforcing them and arm forces were not even included in any of these laws.
A major feature of Kraut's videos is the whitewashing of German/Austrian nazism and the exaggerating of racial bigotry of every other European society. You will scarcely get a mention of Germanic racist terror in any of his videos about European history of the last 150 years, while videos on France, Italy, England, Russia etc will imply that Nazism either began with them, was a defining part of them during the same era or continued as part of their culture long after the actual guilty parties were subdued. In particular, every use of the British or English flag in his animations is done in a perjorative way, the very country at the heart of defeating his homeland's fascism while the red and black flag of death is barely animated in terms of German speaking lands and quickly skipped over. He has some serious bias.

Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea was by far the more developed, more pleasant place to live with functioning institutions and local democratic organization, whereas South Korea was a US puppet state run by a far-right dictator. Only internal student movements forced the political change in South Korea that led to the level of development we see today, but South Korea still has one of the highest suicide rates among developed nations, for all that capitalism has given it, clearly still the people lack satisfaction in their lives, which is the principle reason for participation in civilized society.

Knowing the persecution southern italians experienced throughout the late 17th century and into the 18th, with the added context of the economic downturn experienced in the south by the time the 1890s-1900s rolled around, this video adds a lot more pitfallings that are hardly elaborated on when dealing with the racial instiutions of both the present day and history. As a descendant of both Northern and Albanian-Southern Italians, and knowing the poverty my great grandparents experienced when they first came to the United States during the first world war, this video gave both more insight into my personal history, as well as that of other cultural backgrounds. I appreciate the hard work and research you commit to these videos. They truly are engaging for both academic and non academic viewers.
Why does Sub-Saharan Africa lack the ancient monumental stone/clay edifices and infrastructure found everywhere else? With the exception of the Aksumite Kingdom in Ethiopia, the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and perhaps the Great Mosque of Djenne, there is a dearth of stone/clay ruins found elsewhere in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia who all were also colonized. One argument I hear was that Africa cities were destroyed by colonizers like the razing of Edo (Benin City) of the Kingdom of Benin (Nigeria). But colonizers didn’t completely raze ancient ruins on other continents, they took artifacts and left the edifices.
I wondered if the the reason was that Sub-Saharan Africa was not connected directly to the rest of the ancient world meaning technological advances that spread along the Silk Road, that diffused from one ancient civilization to another couldn’t cross the Sahara and the dense jungles of Africa. Thus African civilizations had to be built on their own until greater contact with outside world in the Middle Ages say the emergence of powerful states like the Malian and Songhai Empires. Aksum (Ethiopia) mean while had direct, large scale contact with Middle Eastern civilizations and thus the Silk Road and the technologies of Eastern and Western civilizations.
Further evidence is the lack of an indigenous African written language before the 19th century. Except for Aksum and the Nubians of lower Egypt who as I said had ancient contact and trade with the Eastern and Western civilizations diffusing ideas and inventions.

Stone or clay edifices and infrastructure are present in all empires, kingdoms and states for a reason. It requires sophisticated hierarchy and organization to accomplish. They are always built as a result of the concentration of people in cities which is a key feature of civilization. Without substantial stone/clay ruins there is no indication of a centralized state, the most complex form of society.
10:50 I think it’s important to mention that France practically destroyed a lot of Haiti’s arable land through aggressive farming run on slave plantations. After winning independence, Haiti was forced to pay a huge ‘debt’ to France, leaving the government with little funds. On top of this, the country experiences disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes on a regular basis.
Love your videos! Can't wait for the next one already :D
What happened to the three videos where you did a deep dive critique of "race realism?" It was really interesting, and a reference I would go to as a way to illustrate the ways in which scientific fileds like quantitative biology are twisted by bad actors to make innaccurate conclusions
People new to this channel probably don't remember but Kraut has long fought against race realism against far right, white nationalist. Even at the cost to his own livelihood, it wasn't popular among his online groups.
I appreciate that kraut is very principled in his stance against such ideologies. Hopefully we can move on from this backwards distraction for an ideology.
Indeed. By the end, Kraut has clearly come out on top.

The more people you meet in your life from different walks of life, the more true the arguments in this video seem.
Exactly, if you actually meet the people who are racially “superior” or “inferior”, you would find that there really isn’t much difference. Humans are humans and only different circumstances in our lives determine the outcome of our lives.
I love videos like this. Striaghtforward debunking of what nationalists hate to admit; in every scenario, they only look for what they want, never the wider picture that multicultural societies can indeed prosper
You mention nationalism, but what he's saying is that institutions matter, not race. If anything this would be mild support of nationalism (or at least institutionalism), not a debunk of it. Of course nationalism strongly tends to correlate with racism, but this isn't necessarily the case. I dunno, I just felt like mentioning this.
Being a Nationalist doesn't mean that you have to pretend that far away Societies can't be Successful.
As a Nationalist only cares about their Nation, the rest can Govern themselves.

Always humbling to learn from Kraut’s videos with well organised evidence and arguments
A month is just time spent waiting for another amazing video from Kraut.
Holy crap, I did not expect that plot twist about Lambroso at all. Wow. That’s historical irony for you amiright.
An ironic tragedy. I feel so bad for his children and grandkids.
Yes however it is not as if anti-Semitism and proscription of Jews suddenly appeared in Europe in the 1920’s.
As criminologists, I did not expect that as well.
"North Koreans are not racially inferior... They're just communist"
That got me good lmao 🤣
Also true.
I greatly appreciate your work. Thank you, and I hope inspiration for more videos comes easily for you in the future.
Honestly I love that you speak the truth. Much love! ❤️
I must say I completely agree with this video, but Trinidad and Tobago is not 90% African, the whole place is pretty much 1/3 Indian, 1/3 African, 1/3 Mixed. Just adding this because I think presenting the country as 90% African is a disservice, their culture is unique and beautiful due to their mixed heritage. I think highlighting this fact makes the anti-racism argument stronger, since both groups were brought over to be used as slaves in the cases of Africans or Indentured servants, and despite this have became a very successful country not just economically but culturally.
Blown away by how good this video is. Thank you so much for it.
That's a hell of a legacy. When you're own racist notions end up being the basis for racist notions against your own family.
Trinidad isn't 90% black. 50% are Indian (from India).
...and despite the massive possible weath due to petroleum, Trinidad is still poor. The average Trini is poor.
I wish my country south Korea was as ideal as this video portrays albeit briefly.
This video is rife with inaccuracies but I like remembering why I disagree.
It is as ideal as can be
That part of the video is literally propaganda
@@user-mv6yv9ec1b maybe if you only look at Seoul, that might be tru... but wait. It is not. Maybe it's because I'm a non-cishet-male queer person and I live in a more underdeveloped, forgotten part of this country is why I have such pessimistic view for my homeland but I don't see Seoul as being exactly heaven like either.
@@fabio5286 dont get me wrong, North Korea would be such a hateful and terrible place to live in. People like me would end up in their gulags within hours if I was magically teleported there. I have no disillusions about that. Its just that South is no heaven.
The far right is bout to make all of these strengths of South Korea mentioned in this video disappear, and thanks to North Korea who is more than happy to keep the South as enemy to keep Kim's regime(and vice versa for S Korea) and the boomers who were conditioned to blame all of South Korea's problems on the North by the previous dictatorships, their job is made considerably easier.
Funny how the Argentine president said that about Brazilians but early this month his entire cabinet (including some of the presidential candidates for the upcoming election) visited Brazil begging for credit and BR capital while Lula actively mocked him on stage saying jokingly how the IMF were fully aware to whom they were lending money in the past. They returned to Argentina only with vague promises of Brazil putting up some word with the IMF and BRICS if they could lend some more money to the neighbors south.
I... Was not expecting to have my country on a Kraut and having him roasting it so hard hahahaha.
I really, really apreciate having someone from outside to do some research and give its opinion on the clusterfuck that it is our country.
Hope someday you dedicate a more in-depth video on any part or subject of our history.
Cheers from argentina.

11:30 Trinidad and Tobago is actually not majority African, but very mixed with Indian, African and mixed people's sharing approximately 1/3rd of the population, similar to Guyana and Suriname
"North Koreans aren't inferior . . . they're just communists."
That was brilliant.
unfothomably based
Communism is define to be a stateless moneyless classless society not what ever your anti sjw of the day choose to define it
They say nk is communist because is call it so but get angry when nk call itself democratic and the same logic appply
Issue with that is that many people DO view communists to be inferior. Like they general see communists and socialists as nothing more then woke degenerates, which if nothing else is intellectually dishonest
They're not even communists anymore
Ca. 1992
they arent even saying themselfes that they are communist. its just the symbolism tgey still have on their monarchy.
The color of your skin doesn't. But the culture tied to it evidently does.
Race is not skin color
As a Brazilian, I applaud your work! Bravo!
It’s so cursed that this needs to be a video in any way
