If we're going to punish people for their shameful past, start with the religion which enslaved - more than anyone else - Black Africans. (I'm not talking about Christianity.)
Solving the housing and other social problems is simple . Stop unregulated immigration and reduce populations naturally over time and society will not be stretched. You obviously allow essential people to come as needed to replace those that leave and the numbers do not need to be set in stone just monitored . There maybe times we welcome mass immigration and other times the flow may have to be reduced as now for instance. Its not difficult if want to do it especially as we are an island with a navy still.
A big reason Columbus sailed west is also due to the Ottoman hordes who for centuries had the goal of wiping out western, democratic thinking. Sounds like today, doesn’t it?
No because all the countries of Europe at that time were NOT democracies but Feudal monarchies apart from a few city states in North Italy (eg Florence, Genoa, Venice) which had adopted the new economic system invented by the Catholic church's Cistercian Order in North Italy at the end of the middle ages "the System of Liberty", which Adam Smith studied and wrote about in "The Wealth of Nations" centuries later and Karl Marx renamed Capitalism. This system would overthrow Feudalism, Serfdom and eventually slavery and when combined with the Catholic invention of human rights and social justice together with the Greek and Roman ideas on political philosophy and law it gave birth to democracy during the 17th Century.

They had computed the size of the Earth with surprising accuracy based on shadow lengths cast by the sun at poles of the same height at different locations (allowing an estimate of the curvature of the Earth and hence the size of the globe) and since they did not know about the existence of the new world's land continents they assumed the ocean would be too vast to cross because the ships of that time powered by sails could not carry enough freash water and food for the duration and length of the estimated voyage! Ships at that time traded around the old world by hugging the shore lines and getting fresh water and food from ports in Africa, Arabia, Persia and India along the way! What he did was to sail West keeping as much as possible on the same latitude, allowing for currents and wind patterns, so from the Spanish Canary Islands sailing due West he arrived in the Caribbean Islands. Bear in mind science had not been invented yet - the scientific method was invented by Pope Paul V in 1630s, so none of the navigational technology that gives us accurate measures, maps and navigation had been invented yet - it was all slow progress using trial and error!

Mr Kisin's reconstruction of the motive for Western exploration -- the Islamic conquest of Constantinople -- falls short. Venice (not to mention Genoa) had a historic, longstanding commercial relationship with the trade route to India and points east through Alexandria. There were resident merchants in Egypt doing business with the maritime Italian cities. Portugal and Spain didn't want to pay middleman fees to the Italians.
WRONG. The Venetians had a monopoly of trade via Egypt and Asia Minor with the Mamluks. They grew rich by adding huge taxes and mark ups to all the goods from Asia Minor and Egypt across the area of the Med principally the Adriatic and Aegean seas. Yes the other maritime Italian states also participated in this wealth as (1) they helped spreading the goods from the Venetian trades across Europe adding their own mark up and tax in so doing (2) they were early adopters of the new economic system developed by the Catholic Church in north Italy "the System of Liberty" which Protestant Adam Smith plagiarised and Marx later renamed "Capitalism". The Mamluks were overthrown by the Ottomans who tried to invade the whole of Europe and their war against Catholic instead of Orthodox meant they would kill any Catholics rather than trade. The Ottomans were instrumental in giving the muslims a monopoly of trade across the Indian Ocean. Portugal being on the east outskirt of Europe suffered the greatest mark up of goods from India and China by the time it got to them so they developed the first Europe ships capable of long distance voyages and found the trade routes to India, China and Japan. When the muslims and arabs tried to stop the Portuguese and Indians trading Portugal had to fight and then build forts to defend their trading outposts at the various ports, thus they became Europe's first truly global empire. When Spain concluded its "Reconquista" by expelling the muslim invader colonists who had oppressed them for 8 Centuries they were able to copy the Portuguese in finding trade routes, and settlements along the way, in the Age of Discovery.

Actually ALL the countries of Europe at that time were monarchy and democracy did not exist as we know it! That came later during the 17th Century. It was actually because the Ottoman Turks conquered the Mamluk muslims and as they then tried to invade Catholic Europe, having already taken the Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire territories they banned any trade and contact between the two. Since the first schism when the Orthodox churches broke away from the Catholic church there had been NUMEROUS times when they re-united and then schismed away again. The Caliph feared if the Orthodox reunited with the Catholics the Pope may call another crusade and then instead of Muslims conquering territory gradually he would have to fight all of Christendom together! The reason why Orthodox churches exist today is because the Ottoman Caliph threatened to kill all the Orthodox bishops and make all their churches into mosques if they re-joined the Catholic church!

I think the Columbus story is cool and all, I just don’t think it has anything to do with the United States and I still think it’s weird we have a holiday that honors him. He was a Portuguese/italian, who was sailing for Spain, trying to get to India, and he landed in the Canary Islands, 3 centuries before the United States existed. Make it make sense. He’s a cool explorer, but what’s the connection between him and the U.S.? Also, I don’t understand why wokeism is nihilistic. I think wokeism is a silly modern religion, but in my mind nihilism is the willingness to eschew any belief in favor of pragmatism. Wokeism seems like the exact opposite. It’s an overburdened belief system that’s constantly moving the goal posts. In some sense, nihilism seems like a relief compared to wokeism.
Columbus was a Third Order Franciscan monk who was educated like the rest of the Catholic Church who invented universities and not only knew that the Earth was a globe but had computed its circumference. He believed it was possible to reach India and the Orient by sailing West to attain the commodities that Europe craved but could no longer obtain because the Muslims had conquered the Byzantine Empire and would not allow Christians to trade with them whilst they were at war. Columbus was motivated to find this route so that Europe could peacefully trade with India and China without war with the Muslims, and also to spread the Christian faith to the colonies in India and China where Catholicism had originally spread before the Muslims conquered Persia and the Byzantine Empire. His intentions were therefore noble - trade, spreading of faith, increasing knowledge through exploration. Although it was common knowledge that the earth was a globe it was thought that only ocean water occupied the distance between Europe and India sailing West and the ships of the age were not large enough to carry sufficient fresh water and food supplies for a crew to survive the months the trip would probably take for such a large distance. Most ships that traded in the old world hugged the coasts hence the trade routes around Africa across arabia and the indian ocean. Columbus discovery of the Americas, although he never set foot on the mainland but only on Caribbean islands, mapped the route, currents and winds to show Europeans (and all the world in future) that a western route was possible but much more important the discovery of the new world which started the "Columbian Exchange" - the greatest exchange of goods and peoples in history. The Old world would not have tomatoes, chillies, turkey, vanilla, chocolate etc if it was not for this exchange and more importantly the Americas benefitted - after the ice age there were no horses, nor animals suitable for farming or assisting humans in agriculture eg oxen, dogs, chickens, goat, sheep, ducks. The consequence was that in North America humans lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle where native indians would follow bison and developed their whole culture on that animal for food and leather to make clothes and wig wams and when the herds migrated the natives would move too - causing tribes to always be in a state of war over the best locations! In the few areas where agriculture did emerge such as Aztec Mexico and Inca Peru since there were no animals to pull ploughs they never developed wheels or chariots and became reliant on SLAVERY to transport goods, and do all the hard manual labour eg without oxen to help pull ploughs. The need to for slaves meant the ruling tribe would have to maintain fear in all the tribes it subjugated within and as vassals to their empires - so they would demand slaves both for labour and alos human sacrifices to their pagan idols. This is why when the Spanish arrived in central and southern Mexico they were welcomed and found allies from the oppressed who USED the Spanish to throw off the oppression of the Aztecs and Incas. Similarly in North America rival native tribes allied themselves to rival European powers such as Britain, France, the Dutch. A serious consequence of there being no livestock animals in the Americas is that the natives had no immunity to animal viri which people from the old world have. Thus flu/ common cold which might mutate from birds like chickens (pox) or pigs would kill natives. Intermarriage between people from the old world and new world solved this problem by creating a new race = Latinos who have the best immune systems which have immunity to viri and illnesses from everywhere on Earth! The wealth and resources which Spain brought back from their global Empire enabled them to fight against the attempted conquest of all of Europe, otherwise there would be no such thing as the USA or any other democratic country in the new world or Europe - we would all be living in Caliphates under a theocratic dictator! So it is only right that we should be grateful for the good action of Columbus which found the new continents, the route to the new world and the trade routes via the West to the Orient, that brought the greatest exchange of goods in history that benefitted both the new and old world peoples and indeed created a new race! That ended pagan human sacrifice and slavery (except in the protestant USA which lagged behind the Catholic countries) and increased knowledge and culture globally. If he had not existed the USA would NEVER have come into existence and would probably be a caliphate if and when the Americas were later discovered. What you call wokeism is actually a purposely misleading label to disguise what it really is - Marxist ideology = Socialism of the Fascist subset! Fascists want to replace Christianity and its economic catholic system Capitalism with Atheism and its economic system Socialism. To do so they use Antonio Gransci's "Cultural Hegemony" strategy combined with Fabian incrementalism a "tip toe" strategy. They infiltrate all the middle tier decision and implementation job roles in all the institutions that influence public morals, values, opinions and beliefs so they can then subvert the organisations and use them to indoctrinate the people. That is why all the mainstream and even most social media in USA are controlled by just a few corps who all repeat the same narratives and lies hoping that people who don't know everything is controlled will think the lies repeated often enough by all these seemingly different sources are mistaken as truth and facts! This is why universities stopped in the late 1980s teaching pupils how to think critically and instead tell them what to think - they are centres of Marxist Ideology brainwashing kids into activists who will when graduated go into journalism, legal profession, media etc and subvert those institutions. The tip toe strategy is to stop Christians and conservatives who wish to conserve the Christian values and rights that built the legal, democratic and freedom in the West from noticing that their rights and societal values are being replaced. If they did everything in a big revolutionary change people would resist but by doing things in small tip toe steps people are more complacent and if they do things labelling them as good or compassionate them people won't realise and see the big picture that an Atheist Socialist tyranny is being built! Because each step if mis-sold "useful idiots" of one step/stage/wave will support it until the next or later steps in the progression then shows its not what they thought it was. You see this with feminists like Germaine Grier and JK Rowling who supported feminism when it was hating and blaming men so they could get yet more female privileges, legalised sexism favouring women and 'rights' but then they opposed the step to trans-women. Karl Marx was actually gay - Engels was his lover even though both were married. They developed the idea that all the differences between men and women arise from social conditioning so if you treated boys and girls "equally" in their toys, dress, etc then there would be no difference - just a generic human. Even though the sciences of psychology and biology have debunked this idea Marx's Gender Theory is being taught in schools and Fascists such as Biden and Trudeau have passed laws and policies that compel the use of "gender pronouns". TERFS like Grier and JK Rowling learnt the hard way that the marxist feminist ideology they supported turned on them like Frankenstein's monster because they had been tools implementing the prior step/wave. Hope this helps you.

I do like your commentary, i feel it will greatly help your presence on the platform.
by then, many had already gone west and knew it was not India or China. learn history
but but...what is a woman?
A woman is the other half of what will enable humanity to move into the future!
I think the Columbus story is cool and all, I just don’t think it has anything to do with the United States and I still think it’s weird we have a holiday that honors him. He was a Portuguese/italian, who was sailing for Spain, trying to get to India, and he landed in the Canary Islands, 3 centuries before the United States existed. Make it make sense. He’s a cool explorer, but what’s the connection between him and the U.S.?
Also, I don’t understand why wokeism is nihilistic. I think wokeism is a silly modern religion, but in my mind nihilism is the willingness to eschew any belief in favor of pragmatism. Wokeism seems like the exact opposite. It’s an overburdened belief system that’s constantly moving the goal posts. In some sense, nihilism seems like a relief compared to wokeism.
Columbus was a Third Order Franciscan monk who was educated like the rest of the Catholic Church who invented universities and not only knew that the Earth was a globe but had computed its circumference. He believed it was possible to reach India and the Orient by sailing West to attain the commodities that Europe craved but could no longer obtain because the Muslims had conquered the Byzantine Empire and would not allow Christians to trade with them whilst they were at war. Columbus was motivated to find this route so that Europe could peacefully trade with India and China without war with the Muslims, and also to spread the Christian faith to the colonies in India and China where Catholicism had originally spread before the Muslims conquered Persia and the Byzantine Empire. His intentions were therefore noble - trade, spreading of faith, increasing knowledge through exploration.
Although it was common knowledge that the earth was a globe it was thought that only ocean water occupied the distance between Europe and India sailing West and the ships of the age were not large enough to carry sufficient fresh water and food supplies for a crew to survive the months the trip would probably take for such a large distance. Most ships that traded in the old world hugged the coasts hence the trade routes around Africa across arabia and the indian ocean.
Columbus discovery of the Americas, although he never set foot on the mainland but only on Caribbean islands, mapped the route, currents and winds to show Europeans (and all the world in future) that a western route was possible but much more important the discovery of the new world which started the "Columbian Exchange" - the greatest exchange of goods and peoples in history. The Old world would not have tomatoes, chillies, turkey, vanilla, chocolate etc if it was not for this exchange and more importantly the Americas benefitted - after the ice age there were no horses, nor animals suitable for farming or assisting humans in agriculture eg oxen, dogs, chickens, goat, sheep, ducks. The consequence was that in North America humans lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle where native indians would follow bison and developed their whole culture on that animal for food and leather to make clothes and wig wams and when the herds migrated the natives would move too - causing tribes to always be in a state of war over the best locations! In the few areas where agriculture did emerge such as Aztec Mexico and Inca Peru since there were no animals to pull ploughs they never developed wheels or chariots and became reliant on SLAVERY to transport goods, and do all the hard manual labour eg without oxen to help pull ploughs. The need to for slaves meant the ruling tribe would have to maintain fear in all the tribes it subjugated within and as vassals to their empires - so they would demand slaves both for labour and alos human sacrifices to their pagan idols. This is why when the Spanish arrived in central and southern Mexico they were welcomed and found allies from the oppressed who USED the Spanish to throw off the oppression of the Aztecs and Incas. Similarly in North America rival native tribes allied themselves to rival European powers such as Britain, France, the Dutch.
A serious consequence of there being no livestock animals in the Americas is that the natives had no immunity to animal viri which people from the old world have. Thus flu/ common cold which might mutate from birds like chickens (pox) or pigs would kill natives. Intermarriage between people from the old world and new world solved this problem by creating a new race = Latinos who have the best immune systems which have immunity to viri and illnesses from everywhere on Earth!
The wealth and resources which Spain brought back from their global Empire enabled them to fight against the attempted conquest of all of Europe, otherwise there would be no such thing as the USA or any other democratic country in the new world or Europe - we would all be living in Caliphates under a theocratic dictator!
So it is only right that we should be grateful for the good action of Columbus which found the new continents, the route to the new world and the trade routes via the West to the Orient, that brought the greatest exchange of goods in history that benefitted both the new and old world peoples and indeed created a new race! That ended pagan human sacrifice and slavery (except in the protestant USA which lagged behind the Catholic countries) and increased knowledge and culture globally. If he had not existed the USA would NEVER have come into existence and would probably be a caliphate if and when the Americas were later discovered.
What you call wokeism is actually a purposely misleading label to disguise what it really is - Marxist ideology = Socialism of the Fascist subset! Fascists want to replace Christianity and its economic catholic system Capitalism with Atheism and its economic system Socialism. To do so they use Antonio Gransci's "Cultural Hegemony" strategy combined with Fabian incrementalism a "tip toe" strategy. They infiltrate all the middle tier decision and implementation job roles in all the institutions that influence public morals, values, opinions and beliefs so they can then subvert the organisations and use them to indoctrinate the people. That is why all the mainstream and even most social media in USA are controlled by just a few corps who all repeat the same narratives and lies hoping that people who don't know everything is controlled will think the lies repeated often enough by all these seemingly different sources are mistaken as truth and facts! This is why universities stopped in the late 1980s teaching pupils how to think critically and instead tell them what to think - they are centres of Marxist Ideology brainwashing kids into activists who will when graduated go into journalism, legal profession, media etc and subvert those institutions.
The tip toe strategy is to stop Christians and conservatives who wish to conserve the Christian values and rights that built the legal, democratic and freedom in the West from noticing that their rights and societal values are being replaced. If they did everything in a big revolutionary change people would resist but by doing things in small tip toe steps people are more complacent and if they do things labelling them as good or compassionate them people won't realise and see the big picture that an Atheist Socialist tyranny is being built! Because each step if mis-sold "useful idiots" of one step/stage/wave will support it until the next or later steps in the progression then shows its not what they thought it was. You see this with feminists like Germaine Grier and JK Rowling who supported feminism when it was hating and blaming men so they could get yet more female privileges, legalised sexism favouring women and 'rights' but then they opposed the step to trans-women. Karl Marx was actually gay - Engels was his lover even though both were married. They developed the idea that all the differences between men and women arise from social conditioning so if you treated boys and girls "equally" in their toys, dress, etc then there would be no difference - just a generic human. Even though the sciences of psychology and biology have debunked this idea Marx's Gender Theory is being taught in schools and Fascists such as Biden and Trudeau have passed laws and policies that compel the use of "gender pronouns". TERFS like Grier and JK Rowling learnt the hard way that the marxist feminist ideology they supported turned on them like Frankenstein's monster because they had been tools implementing the prior step/wave.
Hope this helps you.
people think this is a great speech ?
😂
Pretty good if you ask me. I suppose you have better speeches? Yeah.. I doubt it. Prove me wrong, link them here.
@@Ahzahail it's full of hollow rhetoric, false dichotomies and emotional appeals.
its sloppy.
@@alansouthall8221 found the woke tool
@@jasonbender2459 you think that was a take down of wokeism?
mkay
@@alansouthall8221nice word salad there. Now explain using actual examples. What is actually false here? What exactly here is appealing to emotion?
Stop using word salads, if you actually points, use them. Otherwise your making up points because you dont like what your heard
