@@daddydeadpool9871 problem is that the modern "nationalism" has the same effect as being imperial peons - creating stigma. As long as people blindly react to stigma and not forethink using facts and reason people will keep making mistakes. Earlier it was "adopt Europe at all costs" and now it is "avoid Europe at all costs." Two sides of the same coin.
This is the most accurate description of modern day India I have ever heard from a foreigner. Even our constitution is 90% copied from British. Don't worry, you won't get any hate comments from Indians as most of the Indians agree with whatever you said.
I mean we studied various laws and formed our own, and I think most of the Democratic nations follow the values and principles that originated from Europe, like equality, freedom, fraternity, justice and etc.
Im from Germany. I think India is the country with the greatest potential in this century if it can overcome this colonial daddy issues. It has a culture that has a good chance to adapt to the modern world while not declining into a totalitarian state like China.
it kind of is, body positivism is still an ideology tied to the left, against the white cis male who wants a slim submissive gf, and against the beauty standards imposed by the evil capitalism
He has actually ignored the fact that the Britishers we more interested in dividing India than uniting it, in which they succeeded to an extent. The fact that the real colonial history is not taught in the west they cannot digest that Indians themselves united when faced a common foe that were the British. Also you might look at Maurya dynasty or even Mahabharat, King Bharat, Chanakyas teaching, etc where you will find a united India, you might consider some of them as myth but the fact that these examples are thousands of years old hence they could not have been influenced by the invaders like British who had no taste of civilization then and might be roaming naked in the forest.
@@ak476able the Sikh Empire was extremely diverse and peaceful (may also be since it was richest country in the world at the time) but then 98 years later millions died during partion in the same reign because there was so much hate between different religions and Pakistan was created for Muslims, which I understand despite my Grandparents being kicked out of west panjab for being a Sikh in wrong place (despite Panjab being the land for Panjab and before the British panjab being ruled by Sikhs) I think the hate between the religious has been pushed even further divide and conquer practices have been taken up by the Indian government for decades now and made things only worse, to the point I genuinely believe to protect Sikhi Khalistan should be created as well

Just like clarify some points on India (Warning : This might trigger Indians and British Alike) 1. The reason India's system of government is so much like the British,because it was imposed upon the Indians ,as Indians didn't achieve their Independence,it was given to them as the British Empire was on decline,but the British made sure to put their Stooges in places of power in India ,like Jawaharlal Nehru ,who made sure India maintained good relations with the UK . 2. Even after Independence,most Indian suffer from inferiority complex and most don't even dislike the British ,the reason is the years brain wash ,done by the education system ,which glorified the British ,teaching Indians that the British enriched India with English,Railways and their European Culture,it taught that Indians were inferior to the Europeans ,that Indians were a backward community. So,this and a weak pro- British government caused this confusion among Indian minds. 3.Winston Churchill was considered far worse than Hitler in India. If you were a poor farm worker living in Bengal(India) you really didn't care if some guy killed 6 million Jews on the other side of the world when a fat British guy took the food away from your people and killed 4 million of your own brethren. This is why there is so much hate for Winston Churchill in India.
british system is clearly better than the current indian system. I dont even want to know what kind of shthole india would be if it wasnt for the british occupation.
In my entire life as an Indian I never read a textbook glorifying the British. All education system taught me about railways is that British built it increase their exploitation. Idk where you are drawing your information from.
Where did britishers were glorified in our books? can you please enlighten us, in school i never read something which glorified britishers but they always talked about how britishers were cruel towards the whole subcontinent, i don't know from where you are getting this info. Wasn't ambedkar was the one who was responsible for law drafts(i maybe wrong with the word here, sorry)? I never read any book which said that british enriched india with english railways, eurpean culture and indian were inferiors to europeans or indians were a backward community, you are just making things up and are you sure about the government being pro british as every body has noted that jawaharlal nehru was pro socialist

@@alexanderdesturion4346 "Nothing of note will happen as long as Putin holds power" That's just wrong. Nothing of note might happen in Russia, but Putin has inspired other Populists worldwide. His foreign policies are also extremely interesting and and is very different in its approach to its more powerful bigger brother, Western Europe. Not saying that its a bad thing, but to say that nothing of note has happened is the understatement of the decade.
@@Joseph-do9nz He might have provided sponsorship to populist parties in the EU, but it is a big misconception by the Westerners that Putin is any kind of populist, or even a right wing politician. Consensus among Russian public intellectuals seems to be that his regime is non-ideological and flexible, focusing on internal stability of said regime and trying in futility to keep the geopolitical status quo around them. There is no ideology, no "national interests" because there is no such a thing as "Russian" in Constitution, no ambitions beyond flexing muscles. Now the generation of young bureaucrats and politicized youth is more interesting. When they will inevitably gain power in existing institutions, some big ideas are bound to shape Russian politics, both internally and abroad.

It hurts to hear, but as a german i kinda agree with what you say. The country and by extension the EU seem to have lost all sense of self or direction. It's actually sad and terrifying since all seems well on the surface, but i don't know how secure my future is anymore. I don't know what's on the horizon, but it feels like Europe is losing its status, wealth and identity, like there's a big storm on the horizon... Even just using the word "identity" feels like it could be offensive, as it implies being something, and the ideology of inoffensive individualism is intrinsically linked to being non-descript. A society like that can't possibly survive.
A society cannot survive without religion. "Religion", is a human's direction, it's what gives life its meaning, it can be more accurately defined as a "path" for life. China and Europe are places with very high rates of atheism, even though many atheists consider themselves christian in theory, but in practice they are not, which I still count as atheism. Atheism is a big sign of collapse because when nothing bonds humans to life and together, what can they do? They have less children, thus the economy falls, and thus the whole country falls because the military and police cannot be paid. America does not have that big of a problem because christianity has a stronger foothold there.
@@Novumvir Not really, most people going into the government are atheist. We also have a huge rise of fake christians in gen z. They say they are christian but act atheist and usually have no morales.
@@Novumvir Of course a Society can survive without what you call Religion. Atheism is not the absence of shared believes or moral frameworks. That's just religious propaganda. Atheism usually just means that you believe in a few dumb things less.
@@eran3161 This is the reality. It's not religion that holds society together, it's a moral social contract and the lack of inherent division among people, and sharing a religion is but one way of achieving that goal. It's the easiest, but also perhaps not the most healthy. ATM religion in the west, and the US, is doing more to divide rather than unite, so at the moment, it is doing more harm than good, but this is how religion is unhealthy. It works great while it's working great, but it will turn on itself at the first sign of struggle. Religion needs to love and be accepting first, before people will accept it. Pointing fingers at those outside your religion and yelling 'you are to blame' is undermining the very purpose of religion.
It’s quite simple actually. It’s the ideal of libertarianism having to face the pragmatic questions raised by Robert Heinlein, and since almost all video games does not give you a middle ground for a democracy to solve the problem, people end up going fascism for the pragmatism even though they’d never do such a thing in real life.

Hot take: Atheism will eventually die out due to inability to form a compound cultural value system, most of the majorly atheist populations will end up with a large chunk of the older generation with no incentive or younger generation to sustain them, and die out.
India got conquered by a couple of people who just showed up and demanded Tea. How can one not be incredibly insecure about that. Nowadays they are definitely inspired by the US and even try to hide their culture to try to "fit in".
@Lovely Hitler most (not all) princely states were tributaries to the British. But yeah India was still fragmented at independence, then Sardar Patel united the country.

@@Zwijger sadly yes, many people care jack shit for nationalism, atleast in nordic countries. All europeans have multiparty governments, exept brittain and their legacy setup with lords and 2 chambers instead of just one. Many smaller nations like the nordic countries would gladly give up some autonomy, in Denmark none of the eurosceptic parties have gone into parlament, exept "dansk folkeparti" but that was because they were the only ones that were hardlining against non western immigrants in 2015. And they have begun loosing power again. It would benefit trade, and militaryly, as the nordic countries can't trade internally, the ones with nationalism are bigger places like france,italy, greece(i think). Greece and italy is probably because resistance from the rest of the EU forcing responsable fiscal policy, when previous governments overspent or neglected taxation(Greece). Places like the eastern european like poland and hungrary are countries that are also eurosceptic except the baltics. As they have strong memory of strong entity controlling their country, probably.

well he doens't see any prospect for the E.U., yet he never gives a reason why. his reasons for countries or regions or civilisations continuing on are also rather vague and boil down to ideology and authoritarianism. one weak spot, there are many more. (not a believer in liberal democracy, i'd guess, which he seems to interpret as non-ideological non-authoritarianism). these videos are so packed and the content is presented so quickly that they can hardly be stommached, but as far as my knowledge goes with respect to some of the subjects touched, his claims almost always border heavy misunderstanding. i guess this isn't true for everything presented here. there are some stats and interesting facts and so on, but judged as athe mixture it is, it is, i'd argue, ... mixed.

(And despite the illiberal countries being worse off today by a lot of metrics.) He places very much weight on cultural authoritarianism and its assumed effectiveness.

@M As a devout Christian, I would disagree. I understand Saad's point: The video's understanding of why Jesus was crucified and the centrality of his teaching is off. He was killed for speaking Heresy. Love thy neighbor is only the second greatest of his commandments. Though as the video states correctly, many in the West tend to piece together whatever they like about religion.
14:04 Agree with many of the points about India. One point where I would interject is on hindu nationalism. Hindu nationalism is indeed civilizational nationalism, not a religious one. If you read the writings of its founders, it becomes clear. The definition of "hindu" being used here is in line with what the term was used for historically and how the constitution uses it as well. 1. Before the british, and before the formalization of various religions as "-isms" in the flavor of Christianity and Islam, the term hindu was used to denote the pagans of India. No matter which gods you worshipped, which guru you followed, which sect you belonged to, you were a hindu. A negative definition - of those who were NOT christian or muslim. A positive definition was given with formalized "hindu-ism", of it being vedic dharma, including all the vedic schools of philosophies and sects. But even then, a lot of non-vedic and contradictory schools were also considered hindu, for example the 'lingayats', and even a ton of various indigenous gods and practices who had nothing to do with mainstream hinduism. That is again inline with what hindu means, bcz all the indigenous sects and distinct philosophies, all were at some point assimilated into the larger dharmic sphere by either the brahmins themselves or by the rulers of the time. For example, during the classical era, it is recorded that vedic priests used to go to these indigenous societies, and include their gods and goddesses into the larger hindu pantheon as some or the other form of avatar/variation. So that meme of 36 million or something gods, it is in reality this, that even a lot of households have ancestral family deities of their own, whom only they and their ancestors before them had worshipped. All of these different gods were eventually assimilated into the larger hindu whole, while their ways of life, practices, rituals etc. continued as is, making these various sects and schools part of the larger dharma. 2. And secondly, the constitution itself recognizes this, and states everyone to be hindu, unless specifically defined to be distinct. So for example, christians, muslims, zoarastrians, would be considered by their own religious denominations. For a long time, even jains, sikhs and buddhists were included under the term hindu. And even today, if you are an atheist in India, you are a hindu according to the constitution. Savarkar, the founder of the Hindutva ideology and hindu nationalism, goes to the lengths of finding and defining what a 'hindu' is. Coming to the same conclusion - of the people of India who dont actively subscribe to the larger global pan-islam or the global christendom. And ofcourse, since all the differences amongst the people here, through philosophies, through rituals, culture, practices, etc.(none of which we can really destroy, as it is truly what defines us), doesn't much help with political unity, Savarkar recognized a need for a common identity, and a nationalism on the back of it, if Indians/hindus are to ever stand as a singular unit and fight against our civilizational enemy. Since hindus dont have the political/congregational unity of christianity and islam, it is through a civilizational nationalistic ideology that they must come together, despite differences. A common civilizational identity, representing the longest running continous human civilization, with unique unparalleled values of religious/cultural mutual respect based coexistence, and a diversity that naturally emerges from such mutual respect, manifesting in diverse forms of languages, art, architecture, literature, philosophies, religions, music, dances, traditions, etc. So a common identity of 'hindu', representing this hindu/indian civilization was created(which is again, inline with the historic and constitutional understanding of the term 'hindu'). In this paradigm, eventually even the muslims and christians who were loyal to India and the Indian civilization, and not to the global ummah, were included in this definition. Foreigners who would adopt indic civilization as their own were to be considered a part. And while we cannot wash away these differences, some were considered to be obsolete and a hindrance to the indian society and civilization, as mentioned in Savarkar's "Seven shackles of hindu society". The caste system was one such source of differences, and Savarkar called for and worked for an end to social caste divisions. Hindu nationalism today is THE biggest anti-caste movement in India. Other anti-caste movements are usually hostile towards people's culture, religion, identities and traditions, they are aggressive and try to instill hatred amongst people for their gods, their practices, culture, people etc. And would also want to convert them into either christianity or islam or some kind of revolutionary marxist atheism on back of this resentment. People by and large, even from lower classes(who form the masses), are not looking for this and dont like this. They love their gods, their culture and ways. They simply want to be treated with dignity and equality and feel included. This is EXACTLY what hindu nationalism provides. Hindu nationalists are a fairly conservative people, who advocate for tradition, culture, religiosity etc. but also work against social divides based on caste and class lines. While Savarkar wanted to get everything done in his lifetime and went out of his way to arrange inter-dining, and mixing of people of different castes, for which he recd. massive backlash from some sections of the society as well, RSS/BJP's philosophy is more practical, and they say that real positive social change takes time and in this vain, RSS also arranges activities and events for intermixing of various groups, while giving representation and advocacy to the lower sections of society, uniting all of them under the common larger 'hindu' identity(rather than staying divided in their own caste/regional/ethnic identities) and making them feel included and a part of it. The BJP actively works in formulation and implementation of social inclusion schemes of all sorts, truly give representation to backward sections of society, and also works in formulation of economic schemes targeted at these sections, as without economic independence and power, no real change is possible. This is precisely why hindu nationalists are doing incredible in the democratic processes of India(which are dominated by these same lower class masses), and will continue to dominate in the foreseeable future, despite the ill-informed perceptions and cluelessness around hindu nationalism in the rest of the world.
I think in future we will not need hindu nationalism because we will be strong/industrialized by then, there aren't many threats towards us nowadays But yeah we still need hindu nationalism to protect ourselves and make us better as men
@@pax_indica political identity for hindus and political hinduism will always be needed, and since hindus dont congregate inherently, nationalism plays an important element in political hinduism.
21:55 when a people feels that it's threatened, that's enough of a motivating force. If enough people in European nations believe that foreign immigration is a big issue then that's what their ideology will be about.
Self preservation is an immediate short term motivation for survival, but isn’t a coherent philosophy for continuing through life and the future beyond the present moment E.g. if Europeans stop immigration but still don’t solve the low birth rate Europeans societies will slowly die regardless
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 a future ideology will use the immigration problem as it’s route to power.

Honestly I think currently that the EU is already at that spot of the immigration-crisis. But most people seem to prefer the established and moderate politics over the unstable ones. In belgium the current radical party that would push the anti-immigrant ideology has only seen succes on the flemish side. But all other parties, including their ideological brother, refuse any cooperation (since you cant work with them) and in flanders there also the idea of a free flanders which also support the same far right. Yet up until now the extreme hasnt been able to get into office simply because of majority rejection. And thats talking from a nation thats honestly messy. I think europe will stick to a social-democratic society, possibly trying to further control capitalism with as their reasoning climate change. With the EU remaining the unifying force.
@@GrigRP What about the Spanish, in the 1700's, the Portuguese before them and the Dutch that succeed the Portuguese in the Indian ocean. Its very niche club of partially or global domination, but its more then France and Britain.
I think you've got a lot wrong about Europe to be perfectly honest. In Europe, right wing politics tends to be a belief in the nation state, a rejection of the so-called European identity and a rejection of the extreme measures taken to "distance" from the nations that were. Things like taking refugees, importing immigrants, abandonment of cultural traditions. The European identity is sold as an absolvement of past sins (colonialism, fascism etc...). The right in Europe is a rejection of the idea that we must take in the third world because of our colonial past, drop our traditions, hold disdain for our nations because of our colonial past etc. It's not a rejection of Arabs. Europe is looking to go two ways, several nations are moving toward a unified European state while countries like Britain, Greece, Poland, Hungary etc. Can be described as "Eurosceptic". There is a big push towards a European identity at the moment and it's intentional. We are talking a bank, a parliament, elections, a justice system. These already exist and there are talks for more powers, such as a military (the first uniformed agency of the EU, a border force, was announced only months ago). After Britain leaving the EU we will have to see where the wind blows.
@@Eldueigudbd29473 right wing in europe is normally eurosceptic an anti EU or anti further eu integration , there is few pro EU right wing parties (sadly)
@Callum Williams What you wrote doesnt seem quite accurate. The extreme left rejects the European identity just as much as the extreme right does. So defining it by its nationalistic nature does not seem suitable. "Tradition" also doesnt really count as an ideology. Sure, there is a divide in Europe between pro-EU and anti-EU but it doesnt really seem to be a left vs right thing (it's more center vs extremes).

Just to be clear, I'm not alt right, but I can see the societal shifts that have created their disposition, and how instead of trying to help them society seems far more eager to poke and humiliate and shame and hurt them even further.

I'm afraid I would have to disagree as a Filipino, those who pay attention to the subtle influences from before Magellan Philippines already has (and is still around today) would realize the truth of what I'm saying, it's not obvious but someone who pays much attention to it would realize it. I see the Philippines more of as a place where different cultures from different parts of the world have ended up clustering and mixing together than really being part of Latin America.

You are on point about the inferiority complex. But even though the genetic argument is indusputable the problem with the Aryan Invasion Theory is the word 'Invasion'. The theory AS STATED says that 'the light skinned Aryans "invaded" and civilized the "natives"'. Why should this be the case? They could be barbarians who invaded and then assimilated with the "natives", or there could be a mass migration and assimilation. The Germans and Britishers (who were the last to civilize after the ancients) then used this to justify their superiority based on skin color.

Excellent, as usual. In your discussions on European history and nationalism, there was one concept I was looking for but didn't see. I will have to paraphrase it, but the concept is that Europeans saw nationalism as the cause of WW2 and therefore it's bad. Americans saw nationalism as what allowed them to rally to win WW2 and therefore it's good. Obviously, there are many other factors, but that one seems fundamentally sound to me, being an American who has lived in Europe for a decade.
yes, its the most basic pattern: the winner gets to write history, I've even seen a recent trend in america were communism is now tolerated, not surprising considering most of the "social justice" (or "woke") ideologist lean towards communism, no one seems to care about the crimes against humanity committed by communism which by any scientific metric are worse than 1940s germany or any other ideology... I've seen Jordan Peterson speak about this dynamic and he is worry that we are heading towards a "Wiemar republic situation".... but he is considered an "ultra right wing extremist"...
@@danyks4847 It was not communism that did those crimes. It was Stalin, it was Mao. Under communism there is no state, no money and people are not divided into classes. Communism as you see doesn't lead to crimes, it is just an ideology. Also, both USSR and China were never communist and even they identified as socialist, not communist. In fact there never was any country in history that was communist. However Stalin and Mao commited crimes not in the name of communism, but in the name of themselves and what would be the best for them.
I somewhat disagree. To be called or labeled as a “nationalist” in America is seen as an insult in mainstream media. Usually used by the left as a softer version of “white-supremacist.” I think the west synthesizes their history (as we see in how we’re taught history 1500s and up) as one instead of recognizing it as being parallel and spectate but influential on one another. I think it’s evident that America feels guilt for a lot of things Europeans did during Crusades, colonialism, ww2 etc… same goes for Europe in a reciprocating fashion as well. I think European media feels a sense of guilt or shamefulness for many things America has done like wars in the Middle East, slavery+segregation, American Imperialism, and especially the expansion of the American global economy. America has disdain for Europe being its parent just as Europe has disdain for America being its child.

It’s not that your not important, but you have an unusual set of problems and people can’t decide whether you’re like the US, South Africa, Canada, Britain, or something else entirely
I'm a generally left-leaning guy, who grew up in generally (sometimes extremely) left-leaning circles, and listening to u has been both vindicating and sobering, since I've noticed a lot of the left's troubling trends over my lifetime but seldom had anyone to talk to who'd listen or take it seriously w/out thinking me a bigot. It's also a relief to hear someone on the center-right acknowledge the issues with the right-wing backlash to the left's dissent into madness (even the more reasonable centrists, like JP's tribe, as well as the incels and actual nazis)
Also I think your view of "atheist but mark religious for cultural reasons" in Europe is even more true in America. A vast number of Americans don't go to church or otherwise participate in religion but identify as "christian" because it is part of their American (often racial) identity to be that way. It's reflected most clear in the way they talk about "christian values" when they're really trying to get at vague notions of, on the reasonable side, western culture, and on the unreasonable side, ethno-nationalism. America does have a lot of fanatics, but they live alongside essentially irreligious people.
What you're describing is more secularism since most of the US population still believes in God despite barely practicing if at all the religion they identify with. A religion lite if you will.
@@ThatCrazyKid0007 exactly. Most people may not go to church, but they believe in God. They'll pray. I've been a missionary, and you find people of all walks of life and situations looking for something to believe in. Whereas I talk to people who went to Europe, and it's a lot more closed off. Americans are believers.
It irritates me how so many people say 'Christian values' and really mean 'Enlightenment values'. I don't want to get the blame for a philosophical movement that gave rise to the French Revolution, Communism, Nationalism, Fascism and all the other inadequate replacements for religion that Europe has spent the last two hundred years trying and failing to make work. (Yes, I know this is ironic given the EU flag profile picture. That's sarcastic.)

Hinduism is not really a one single belief system, with 1 founder and 1 book. It's an English word. It is an umbrella term of all kinds of rituals, cultures and practices that originated in the Indian subcontinent, popularized by the British. Hindu is just the Persian term for Indians. Hence Hinduism includes but not limited to monotheism, polytheism, henotheism, atheism etc. In India is simply called Dharma which roughly translates to duty and my place in this world. Hence two Hindus can have vastly different beliefs. Hindu nationalism and Hindu unity really took shape after Islamic invasions, as Islam is very much against polytheism and idol worshipping which was very prevalent in India, still is, and the muslim rulers of India were very much against it, and often used violence to convert people into their religion.
Untrue, Hindu nationalism or Hindutva is a fairly recent concept and a couple of centuries old at the best. The narrator is spot on about the kind of insecurity it stems from and where its prospects lie. Your generalisation is a very simplistic view of Indian history ignoring the several variables.

However, as a second generation American immigrant, much of my mom's beliefs seem to be part of that inferiority complex that the narrator in this video mentioned. She denies the Aryan migration theory, turns a blind eye to the flaws of Hinduism, and has very... interesting views on muslims. As such, while she is fairly tolerant in social matters, much of her religous beliefs just seem irrational.
@@ARCHITACADEMY The Indo-Aryan Migration theory is not substantiated in any respect of the word. The belief that a region the size of the Indian sub-continent would shift their entire culture due to a small scale migration is borderline insane. The only method of shifting an entire culture and ruling over a region that large is through a large scale invasion, the only issue with that theory is that there is no evidence in any shape or form of a large scale invasion (hens why it is no longer called the Aryan Invasion Theory). The Indus River Valley civilization was extremely advanced for it's time and the general Indian population is known for it's intelligence, meaning that the need for some outside source of Indian prosperity that originated within the last few thousand years is categorically absurd. Conclusion: There is no evidence of an invasion or migration, there is evidence of proto-hinduism existing over 9,000 years ago, there is no genetic evidence indicating a substantial difference in the genetic lineage of North Indians and South Indians, and the very basis of the Indo-Aryan Migration Theory stems from British Colonialists tendency to artificially divide a region it is colonizing for the sake of control.

Thanks for your analysis. I would only add that Thailand is a bit of a special case, as its traditional culture is a blend of both Chinese and Indian influences. It was also one of the very few Asian countries never colonized by the West (Japan being the other one that comes to mind), meaning that its culture remains reasonably intact - none of the Abrahamic religions has ever held much sway in this Buddhist country. Of course it’s also true that Thailand is very much a part of the global, capitalist economic system, with all that this entails, including rampant consumerism. Anyway, thanks again.
As a European I agree, our continent has become pathetic! And it is that vacuum that has been filled with complacent consumerist nihilism and/or woke social justice authoritarianism, the latter of which has little to no coherent philosophical basis. Though this will surely doom it in the long run (it can't come soon enough), for as long as it persists it's glaring contradictions combined with it's intolerance are producing a reactionary backlash of national populism, which is at odds with the international vision of the European Union. This video has made me think that the big picture, that is, putting things in perspective, makes these things quite apparent. And yet in daily life, whether it's watching the news, listening to the radio, reading social media feeds or getting an earful from activists, you are told nonstop that there is a war going on for the soul of our civilisation, and that nationalism threatens the world with Nazism 2.0. So I would add something to your list, and that's a proclivity for navel-gazing. Europe hasn't realised it isn't the centre of all civilisation anymore.We don't step back and look at the big picture, because we think that by looking at ourselves we ARE getting the big picture. I really think that's why the rest of the world looks at us with confusion and bemusement. We eat ourselves from the inside out, like there are no wolves at the door. We subvert the roots of our cultures as if they will be replaced by a peaceful vacuum of tolerance, and not just another ideology over which we'll have less control. We relentlessly undermine the USA, the economic, military and ideological backbone of our civilisational sphere, scoffing at it's lack of sophistication, when really, our "sophistication" all too often constitutes a cringing lack of confidence and pride. All that said though, I think you give too little credit to the depth of the European political and philosophical traditions. The problem isn't that we don't have such a thing, the problem is that we've become prejudicially dismissive of that heritage and thus fail to take advantage of it. I also don't agree that post-wokeism Centrism is likely to be misogynistic like the Alt-Right. From where I'm sitting, one of the biggest Centrist beefs with wokeism is precisely how sexist (and racist) it is. Replacing it with their own brand of sexism would just make no sense.
It’s a slippery slope in all directions. Pride in one’s culture/heritage is great- until it slips into detesting others; social justice is great- until it leaves the bounds of reason and vilifies the moderates who aren’t oppressing anyone. Basically the problem is that extremists will always be louder than those who are balanced
The wokeism is sexist in itself but against men's right be equal they want women's rights be better and above everyone else . ( Of course the original wokeism and feminism aren't extremists in itself but lack of sustivication of what to do in a country with rights they are claiming before make them whiteout sense so they become extremists . In Portuguese porque eles já ganharam todos os seus direitos e até um pouco mais pelo menos nós países do 1 mundo. I'm brazilian so my English is not that good!!!
@@Darkwolf_1017 TL;DR is that the continent Europe has lost touch with its cultural and philosophical roots. It has an immense depth of culture and philosophy, we’re just consistently disrespecting it and not teaching it. Wokeness is an incoherent philosophy, and it is producing a reactionary backlash. If we were frank about this issue we could have an honest conversation and actually debate the future of our civilisation, but we in Europe seem incapable of just coming to grips with this fact. My theory is that this is because there’s no sense of urgency to this threat, because we’re still self-obsessed to a certain extent, thinking we still rule the world, not realising that there are outside forces that genuinely challenge us. We need to be honest so we can be resilient and adaptive. And god damn it, we need to stop denigrating our own culture. It pisses me off.
@dark_matters To be honest I didn't really see which religion he smeared. He said positive comments about all of them, even Islam, which I was happy to hear (it's rare that a political/history UA-camr doesn't immediately bash Islam as backwards or medieval lol). Can you specify?

He has actually ignored the fact that the Britishers we more interested in dividing India than uniting it, in which they succeeded to an extent. The fact that the real colonial history is not taught in the west they cannot digest that Indians themselves united when faced a common foe that were the British. Also you might look at Maurya dynasty or even Mahabharat, King Bharat, Chanakyas teaching, etc where you will find a united India, you might consider some of them as myth but the fact that these examples are thousands of years old hence they could not have been influenced by the invaders like British who had no taste of civilization then and might be roaming naked in the forest.

I think most of Whatifalthist's view of America is based on Albion's Seed, a book written in 1989, and therefore he doesn't consider that modern mass migration can't be assimilated in the same way that older more controlled waves were, because this sort of thing didn't happen in America until the mid 1990s. Plus modern political correctness actively suppresses all the old processes that caused cultural assimilation.

@Savage Read my main comment.
Just like clarify some points on India (Warning : This might trigger Indians and British Alike)
1. The reason India's system of government is so much like the British,because it was imposed upon the Indians ,as Indians didn't achieve their Independence,it was given to them as the British Empire was on decline,but the British made sure to put their Stooges in places of power in India ,like Jawaharlal Nehru ,who made sure India maintained good relations with the UK .
2. Even after Independence,most Indian suffer from inferiority complex and most don't even dislike the British ,the reason is the years brain wash ,done by the education system ,which glorified the British ,teaching Indians that the British enriched India with English,Railways and their European Culture,it taught that Indians were inferior to the Europeans ,that Indians were a backward community. So,this and a weak pro- British government caused this confusion among Indian minds.
3.Winston Churchill was considered far worse than Hitler in India.
If you were a poor farm worker living in Bengal(India) you really didn't care if some guy killed 6 million Jews on the other side of the world when a fat British guy took the food away from your people and killed 4 million of your own brethren.
This is why there is so much hate for Winston Churchill in India.
british system is clearly better than the current indian system. I dont even want to know what kind of shthole india would be if it wasnt for the british occupation.
In my entire life as an Indian I never read a textbook glorifying the British. All education system taught me about railways is that British built it increase their exploitation. Idk where you are drawing your information from.
Where did britishers were glorified in our books? can you please enlighten us, in school i never read something which glorified britishers but they always talked about how britishers were cruel towards the whole subcontinent, i don't know from where you are getting this info.
Wasn't ambedkar was the one who was responsible for law drafts(i maybe wrong with the word here, sorry)?
I never read any book which said that british enriched india with english railways, eurpean culture and indian were inferiors to europeans or indians were a backward community, you are just making things up and are you sure about the government being pro british as every body has noted that jawaharlal nehru was pro socialist

I don't know what's on the horizon, but it feels like Europe is losing its status, wealth and identity, like there's a big storm on the horizon... Even just using the word "identity" feels like it could be offensive, as it implies being something, and the ideology of inoffensive individualism is intrinsically linked to being non-descript.
A society like that can't possibly survive.
A society cannot survive without religion. "Religion", is a human's direction, it's what gives life its meaning, it can be more accurately defined as a "path" for life.
China and Europe are places with very high rates of atheism, even though many atheists consider themselves christian in theory, but in practice they are not, which I still count as atheism.
Atheism is a big sign of collapse because when nothing bonds humans to life and together, what can they do? They have less children, thus the economy falls, and thus the whole country falls because the military and police cannot be paid.

These Islamists and the Britishers or Europeans were more or less alike, they were invaders, only difference was there way of governance. He has actually ignored the fact that the Britishers we more interested in dividing India than uniting it, in which they succeeded to an extent. The fact that the real colonial history is not taught in the west they cannot digest that Indians themselves united when faced a common foe that were the British. Also you might read Maurya dynasty or even Mahabharat, King Bharat, Chanakyas teaching, etc where you will find a united India, you might consider some of them as myth but the fact that these examples are thousands of years old hence they could not have been influenced by the invaders like British who had no taste of civilization then and might be roaming naked in the forest.

@@saadshoaib901 Muhammad said "don't be a dick. Except to Jewish people. Be an extreme dick to them"
14:04 Agree with many of the points about India. One point where I would interject is on hindu nationalism.
Hindu nationalism is indeed civilizational nationalism, not a religious one. If you read the writings of its founders, it becomes clear. The definition of "hindu" being used here is in line with what the term was used for historically and how the constitution uses it as well.
1. Before the british, and before the formalization of various religions as "-isms" in the flavor of Christianity and Islam, the term hindu was used to denote the pagans of India. No matter which gods you worshipped, which guru you followed, which sect you belonged to, you were a hindu. A negative definition - of those who were NOT christian or muslim. A positive definition was given with formalized "hindu-ism", of it being vedic dharma, including all the vedic schools of philosophies and sects. But even then, a lot of non-vedic and contradictory schools were also considered hindu, for example the 'lingayats', and even a ton of various indigenous gods and practices who had nothing to do with mainstream hinduism. That is again inline with what hindu means, bcz all the indigenous sects and distinct philosophies, all were at some point assimilated into the larger dharmic sphere by either the brahmins themselves or by the rulers of the time. For example, during the classical era, it is recorded that vedic priests used to go to these indigenous societies, and include their gods and goddesses into the larger hindu pantheon as some or the other form of avatar/variation. So that meme of 36 million or something gods, it is in reality this, that even a lot of households have ancestral family deities of their own, whom only they and their ancestors before them had worshipped. All of these different gods were eventually assimilated into the larger hindu whole, while their ways of life, practices, rituals etc. continued as is, making these various sects and schools part of the larger dharma.
2. And secondly, the constitution itself recognizes this, and states everyone to be hindu, unless specifically defined to be distinct. So for example, christians, muslims, zoarastrians, would be considered by their own religious denominations. For a long time, even jains, sikhs and buddhists were included under the term hindu. And even today, if you are an atheist in India, you are a hindu according to the constitution.
Savarkar, the founder of the Hindutva ideology and hindu nationalism, goes to the lengths of finding and defining what a 'hindu' is. Coming to the same conclusion - of the people of India who dont actively subscribe to the larger global pan-islam or the global christendom. And ofcourse, since all the differences amongst the people here, through philosophies, through rituals, culture, practices, etc.(none of which we can really destroy, as it is truly what defines us), doesn't much help with political unity, Savarkar recognized a need for a common identity, and a nationalism on the back of it, if Indians/hindus are to ever stand as a singular unit and fight against our civilizational enemy. Since hindus dont have the political/congregational unity of christianity and islam, it is through a civilizational nationalistic ideology that they must come together, despite differences. A common civilizational identity, representing the longest running continous human civilization, with unique unparalleled values of religious/cultural mutual respect based coexistence, and a diversity that naturally emerges from such mutual respect, manifesting in diverse forms of languages, art, architecture, literature, philosophies, religions, music, dances, traditions, etc. So a common identity of 'hindu', representing this hindu/indian civilization was created(which is again, inline with the historic and constitutional understanding of the term 'hindu').
In this paradigm, eventually even the muslims and christians who were loyal to India and the Indian civilization, and not to the global ummah, were included in this definition. Foreigners who would adopt indic civilization as their own were to be considered a part.
And while we cannot wash away these differences, some were considered to be obsolete and a hindrance to the indian society and civilization, as mentioned in Savarkar's "Seven shackles of hindu society". The caste system was one such source of differences, and Savarkar called for and worked for an end to social caste divisions. Hindu nationalism today is THE biggest anti-caste movement in India. Other anti-caste movements are usually hostile towards people's culture, religion, identities and traditions, they are aggressive and try to instill hatred amongst people for their gods, their practices, culture, people etc. And would also want to convert them into either christianity or islam or some kind of revolutionary marxist atheism on back of this resentment. People by and large, even from lower classes(who form the masses), are not looking for this and dont like this. They love their gods, their culture and ways. They simply want to be treated with dignity and equality and feel included. This is EXACTLY what hindu nationalism provides. Hindu nationalists are a fairly conservative people, who advocate for tradition, culture, religiosity etc. but also work against social divides based on caste and class lines. While Savarkar wanted to get everything done in his lifetime and went out of his way to arrange inter-dining, and mixing of people of different castes, for which he recd. massive backlash from some sections of the society as well, RSS/BJP's philosophy is more practical, and they say that real positive social change takes time and in this vain, RSS also arranges activities and events for intermixing of various groups, while giving representation and advocacy to the lower sections of society, uniting all of them under the common larger 'hindu' identity(rather than staying divided in their own caste/regional/ethnic identities) and making them feel included and a part of it. The BJP actively works in formulation and implementation of social inclusion schemes of all sorts, truly give representation to backward sections of society, and also works in formulation of economic schemes targeted at these sections, as without economic independence and power, no real change is possible.
This is precisely why hindu nationalists are doing incredible in the democratic processes of India(which are dominated by these same lower class masses), and will continue to dominate in the foreseeable future, despite the ill-informed perceptions and cluelessness around hindu nationalism in the rest of the world.
I think in future we will not need hindu nationalism because we will be strong/industrialized by then, there aren't many threats towards us nowadays
But yeah we still need hindu nationalism to protect ourselves and make us better as men
@@pax_indica political identity for hindus and political hinduism will always be needed, and since hindus dont congregate inherently, nationalism plays an important element in political hinduism.
21:55 when a people feels that it's threatened, that's enough of a motivating force. If enough people in European nations believe that foreign immigration is a big issue then that's what their ideology will be about.
Last time it was Jews this time it will be Arabs and Jews.
Self preservation is an immediate short term motivation for survival, but isn’t a coherent philosophy for continuing through life and the future beyond the present moment

@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 You are correct. So what Europe lacks is not an ideology entirely but a motivation to keep surviving.
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 a future ideology will use the immigration problem as it’s route to power. A right wing government will take power to stop immigration and reverse it and right wing governments generally also push for higher fertility among its desirable citizen groups.

Honestly I think currently that the EU is already at that spot of the immigration-crisis. But most people seem to prefer the established and moderate politics over the unstable ones. In belgium the current radical party that would push the anti-immigrant ideology has only seen succes on the flemish side. But all other parties, including their ideological brother, refuse any cooperation (since you cant work with them) and in flanders there also the idea of a free flanders which also support the same far right. Yet up until now the extreme hasnt been able to get into office simply because of majority rejection. And thats talking from a nation thats honestly messy.

I think you've got a lot wrong about Europe to be perfectly honest.
In Europe, right wing politics tends to be a belief in the nation state, a rejection of the so-called European identity and a rejection of the extreme measures taken to "distance" from the nations that were. Things like taking refugees, importing immigrants, abandonment of cultural traditions. The European identity is sold as an absolvement of past sins (colonialism, fascism etc...). The right in Europe is a rejection of the idea that we must take in the third world because of our colonial past, drop our traditions, hold disdain for our nations because of our colonial past etc. It's not a rejection of Arabs.
Europe is looking to go two ways, several nations are moving toward a unified European state while countries like Britain, Greece, Poland, Hungary etc. Can be described as "Eurosceptic". There is a big push towards a European identity at the moment and it's intentional. We are talking a bank, a parliament, elections, a justice system. These already exist and there are talks for more powers, such as a military (the first uniformed agency of the EU, a border force, was announced only months ago).
After Britain leaving the EU we will have to see where the wind blows.

What you wrote doesnt seem quite accurate.
The extreme left rejects the European identity just as much as the extreme right does. So defining it by its nationalistic nature does not seem suitable.
"Tradition" also doesnt really count as an ideology.
Sure, there is a divide in Europe between pro-EU and anti-EU but it doesnt really seem to be a left vs right thing (it's more center vs extremes).

You are on point about the inferiority complex. But even though the genetic argument is indusputable the problem with the Aryan Invasion Theory is the word 'Invasion'.

Excellent, as usual. In your discussions on European history and nationalism, there was one concept I was looking for but didn't see. I will have to paraphrase it, but the concept is that Europeans saw nationalism as the cause of WW2 and therefore it's bad. Americans saw nationalism as what allowed them to rally to win WW2 and therefore it's good. Obviously, there are many other factors, but that one seems fundamentally sound to me, being an American who has lived in Europe for a decade.

I somewhat disagree. To be called or labeled as a “nationalist” in America is seen as an insult in mainstream media. Usually used by the left as a softer version of “white-supremacist.” I think the west synthesizes their history (as we see in how we’re taught history 1500s and up) as one instead of recognizing it as being parallel and spectate but influential on one another. I think it’s evident that America feels guilt for a lot of things Europeans did during Crusades, colonialism, ww2 etc… same goes for Europe in a reciprocating fashion as well. I think European media feels a sense of guilt or shamefulness for many things America has done like wars in the Middle East, slavery+segregation, American Imperialism, and especially the expansion of the American global economy. America has disdain for Europe being its parent just as Europe has disdain for America being its child.

I'm a generally left-leaning guy, who grew up in generally (sometimes extremely) left-leaning circles, and listening to u has been both vindicating and sobering, since I've noticed a lot of the left's troubling trends over my lifetime but seldom had anyone to talk to who'd listen or take it seriously w/out thinking me a bigot. It's also a relief to hear someone on the center-right acknowledge the issues with the right-wing backlash to the left's dissent into madness (even the more reasonable centrists, like JP's tribe, as well as the incels and actual nazis)
Also I think your view of "atheist but mark religious for cultural reasons" in Europe is even more true in America. A vast number of Americans don't go to church or otherwise participate in religion but identify as "christian" because it is part of their American (often racial) identity to be that way. It's reflected most clear in the way they talk about "christian values" when they're really trying to get at vague notions of, on the reasonable side, western culture, and on the unreasonable side, ethno-nationalism.
America does have a lot of fanatics, but they live alongside essentially irreligious people.
Thats the same with other religions. I know some muslims who identify as such but are not really practising.
What you're describing is more secularism since most of the US population still believes in God despite barely practicing if at all the religion they identify with. A religion lite if you will.
@@ThatCrazyKid0007 exactly. Most people may not go to church, but they believe in God. They'll pray. I've been a missionary, and you find people of all walks of life and situations looking for something to believe in.
Whereas I talk to people who went to Europe, and it's a lot more closed off. Americans are believers.
Participation and belief are two different things. One can be religious without engaging in much ritual, ceremony, or assembly.
It irritates me how so many people say 'Christian values' and really mean 'Enlightenment values'. I don't want to get the blame for a philosophical movement that gave rise to the French Revolution, Communism, Nationalism, Fascism and all the other inadequate replacements for religion that Europe has spent the last two hundred years trying and failing to make work.

Hinduism is not really a one single belief system, with 1 founder and 1 book. It's an English word. It is an umbrella term of all kinds of rituals, cultures and practices that originated in the Indian subcontinent, popularized by the British. Hindu is just the Persian term for Indians. Hence Hinduism includes but not limited to monotheism, polytheism, henotheism, atheism etc.
In India is simply called Dharma which roughly translates to duty and my place in this world. Hence two Hindus can have vastly different beliefs.
Hindu nationalism and Hindu unity really took shape after Islamic invasions, as Islam is very much against polytheism and idol worshipping which was very prevalent in India, still is, and the muslim rulers of India were very much against it, and often used violence to convert people into their religion.

As such, while she is fairly tolerant in social matters, much of her religous beliefs just seem irrational.
@@ARCHITACADEMY The Indo-Aryan Migration theory is not substantiated in any respect of the word. The belief that a region the size of the Indian sub-continent would shift their entire culture due to a small scale migration is borderline insane. The only method of shifting an entire culture and ruling over a region that large is through a large scale invasion, the only issue with that theory is that there is no evidence in any shape or form of a large scale invasion (hens why it is no longer called the Aryan Invasion Theory). The Indus River Valley civilization was extremely advanced for it's time and the general Indian population is known for it's intelligence, meaning that the need for some outside source of Indian prosperity that originated within the last few thousand years is categorically absurd.
Conclusion: There is no evidence of an invasion or migration, there is evidence of proto-hinduism existing over 9,000 years ago, there is no genetic evidence indicating a substantial difference in the genetic lineage of North Indians and South Indians, and the very basis of the Indo-Aryan Migration Theory stems from British Colonialists tendency to artificially divide a region it is colonizing for the sake of control.
Machiavelli is one of the most misunderstood writers of all time, partly because he's heavily slandered but mostly because of linguistic drift.
When you actually read The Prince and read the part about being feared vs being loved, the more modern interpretation of what he meant by "fear", in context, would be respect.
It's better to be respected than loved.
That's really cool, didn't know that before. Thanks!
@@thewarlock539 yeah, he said it was worst to be hated. Tyrants are hated.
It's better to be respected than popular.
I'm Italian. We study Machiavelli at school. And the world's meaning includes fear.
@@leonarduskarolusiuliustant7498 respect really includes a tiny dimension of fear within it. You can’t respect somebody that you feel is a pushover and can be walked all over. You can only respect someone whom you believe can and will stick up for them self when necessary
I am from India and I am a Hindu. What I can see is that Hindus are getting educated and fertility rate is going down drastically but what is concerning is
1) Muslim minority despite of huge subsidy in education is still getting radicalised by Wahhabism
2) they see Hindus as infidel and are dreaming to bring India under Islamic rule as during Mughal period (Islamic rule)
Why do you always call them mughals an not gurkhanis?
Ah of course, english still rule you and they are grumpy that they didnt conquered the gurkhas.
Lmao poojeets
I am also a Hindu from India and I personally believe that we can all get along if we work together for the greater good of all. As Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda had said, multiple paths can lead to the same destination.
@@thelot9880 love from India!
In my eyes, both the muslims and the hindus are being radicalised.

What I love about your videos is how you constantly admit without any shame - and why should there be - what you are not sure of, what you are guessing, or what you know you do not know.
This dude is supremely underrated. Talented speaker and analyst. Also clean from bias. Gets better all the time.
@@cretaceoussteve3527 Sometimes, he doesn't try to hide the bias. He genuinely believes what he says is truth and anyone who challenges his views is insecure.
You just don't notice his bias because you share it, I suppose.
Hea definitely biased in some ways and has even admitted to it. But the knowledge he has to share is quite impressive! I enjoy listening to his talks.
Ain’t even watched and I know this be packing heat
Same, ain't even fully watched, but it's great so far, like always.

Somewhere out there, there is a timeline where Whatifalthist does MauLer-length videos on this stuff, and it is glorious.
Altist, you are allowed to make longer videos. Seriously, this was a fantastic piece of work. Your vids on why the world is going nuts helps put a lot of things into perspective and honestly makes living in this world a little easier. Knowing why things are seemingly breaking down makes things easier to understand and less frightening. Keep up the great work man.
Yeah and there are some people who consider him a clown who just wants to frighten people. They fear that something might change in their little lives, they think that humans are too smart to do such things. Are we really? Not a long time ago, people in the USA voted out one idiot with the name Donald Trump and voted in another, Biden. Czechia, where I live was for a long time ruled by one corrupt dumbass after another.
Drugs, smoking, alcohol are objectively bad things and yet, people still use them. Are we really that smart?
Ignorant fools.😒😒
I wish this blows up
@@juliannasreddin5226 Emotions get in the way, *emotions bad.*
Religion isn't dying, but churches are?
I think you missed the point with Russia and Eastern Europe, these regions have still a strong religious presence in them (except some offshots like the Czechs). In Russia especially, the Church had more and more say in domestic politics, lately and is also promoted by the government.
most eastern europeans are not religious
@@namelessnameless9879 I would say that millenials in those regions are moving away from traditional religions. However the influence and power of the church (catholic, orthodox etc) is still strong.
Whatifalthist keeps throwing out absolute bangers like it’s nothing lol
Never know what to expect. I'm just pissed that I opened this video during my assignment... Hard to stop listening once you play a Whatifalthist video 😞

I know lobsters are supposedly right-wing but what are we talking about here if they're both right wing?
Thanks for your analysis. I would only add that Thailand is a bit of a special case, as its traditional culture is a blend of both Chinese and Indian influences. It was also one of the very few Asian countries never colonized by the West (Japan being the other one that comes to mind), meaning that its culture remains reasonably intact - none of the Abrahamic religions has ever held much sway in this Buddhist country. Of course it’s also true that Thailand is very much a part of the global, capitalist economic system, with all that this entails, including rampant consumerism. Anyway, thanks again.
As a European I agree, our continent has become pathetic! And it is that vacuum that has been filled with complacent consumerist nihilism and/or woke social justice authoritarianism, the latter of which has little to no coherent philosophical basis. Though this will surely doom it in the long run (it can't come soon enough), for as long as it persists it's glaring contradictions combined with it's intolerance are producing a reactionary backlash of national populism, which is at odds with the international vision of the European Union. This video has made me think that the big picture, that is, putting things in perspective, makes these things quite apparent. And yet in daily life, whether it's watching the news, listening to the radio, reading social media feeds or getting an earful from activists, you are told nonstop that there is a war going on for the soul of our civilisation, and that nationalism threatens the world with Nazism 2.0.
So I would add something to your list, and that's a proclivity for navel-gazing. Europe hasn't realised it isn't the centre of all civilisation anymore.We don't step back and look at the big picture, because we think that by looking at ourselves we ARE getting the big picture. I really think that's why the rest of the world looks at us with confusion and bemusement. We eat ourselves from the inside out, like there are no wolves at the door. We subvert the roots of our cultures as if they will be replaced by a peaceful vacuum of tolerance, and not just another ideology over which we'll have less control. We relentlessly undermine the USA, the economic, military and ideological backbone of our civilisational sphere, scoffing at it's lack of sophistication, when really, our "sophistication" all too often constitutes a cringing lack of confidence and pride.
All that said though, I think you give too little credit to the depth of the European political and philosophical traditions. The problem isn't that we don't have such a thing, the problem is that we've become prejudicially dismissive of that heritage and thus fail to take advantage of it. I also don't agree that post-wokeism Centrism is likely to be misogynistic like the Alt-Right. From where I'm sitting, one of the biggest Centrist beefs with wokeism is precisely how sexist (and racist) it is. Replacing it with their own brand of sexism would just make no sense.
It’s a slippery slope in all directions. Pride in one’s culture/heritage is great- until it slips into detesting others; social justice is great- until it leaves the bounds of reason and vilifies the moderates who aren’t oppressing anyone.
Basically the problem is that extremists will always be louder than those who are balanced
Ezcellent reply
The wokeism is sexist in itself but against men's right be equal they want women's rights be better and above everyone else . ( Of course the original wokeism and feminism aren't extremists in itself but lack of sustivication of what to do in a country with rights they are claiming before make them whiteout sense so they become extremists . In Portuguese porque eles já ganharam todos os seus direitos e até um pouco mais pelo menos nós países do 1 mundo. I'm brazilian so my English is not that good!!!
Sir this is an essay and as much as I’d love to read it, it’s way to long for me to read as a YT comment. Mind giveing me a tldr
@@Darkwolf_1017 TL;DR is that the continent Europe has lost touch with its cultural and philosophical roots. It has an immense depth of culture and philosophy, we’re just consistently disrespecting it and not teaching it. Wokeness is an incoherent philosophy, and it is producing a reactionary backlash. If we were frank about this issue we could have an honest conversation and actually debate the future of our civilisation, but we in Europe seem incapable of just coming to grips with this fact. My theory is that this is because there’s no sense of urgency to this threat, because we’re still self-obsessed to a certain extent, thinking we still rule the world, not realising that there are outside forces that genuinely challenge us. We need to be honest so we can be resilient and adaptive. And god damn it, we need to stop denigrating our own culture. It pisses me off.
Generally love this channel, but the "unbiased" aspect always slips just a bit when he discusses religion.
Do you think he's an atheist or unaffiliated with a religion?
@dark_matters To be honest I didn't really see which religion he smeared. He said positive comments about all of them, even Islam, which I was happy to hear (it's rare that a political/history UA-camr doesn't immediately bash Islam as backwards or medieval lol). Can you specify?
@dark_matters That's true. Looking back, he does subtly include images which might hint at his opinion on the topic.
I mean like, who is completely unbiased, though? Everyone is biased, as evident by the fact that there's a discussion happening in this thread.
