Rumsfeld Rules: All generalizations are false, including this one. (He may have stole that ‘rule’ 🤪) ruclips.net/video/afyrQLB9mW8/видео.htmlsi=YLFgDVj3It9gDSk7

Civilisation is in decline when we consider people like Peter intellectuals!

The woke are masters of the 'stolen concept.'

Narcissism is the problem!

If the Substitution Hypothesis is correct, would the antidote be as simple as reversing it?

Icelandic fairies are analogous to Santa Claus 🎅

Another incredible chat with deep wisdom

Balkanization is a better word.

Where does the KGB /soviet policy (as desccribed by defector Yuri Bezmenov) of subversive oikaphbia fit in with all this?

Woke-ism is a relegion ..... Activists are priests ..demonstrations are church ,,,,coming out is being born again ..being white is original sin......believing a man just has to say hes a woman is the eucharist (a priest bleese wine and it beccaomes the literal blood of christ).....sex change /harmones is an exorsism ......canceling is excomunication.....Racism is the devil ....questioning the dogma is heracy ....

16:10 Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn. Would love for you both to read this. It may help save us all.

As someone who is working on understanding my cultural roots so that I may know where I'm headed, I'm proud to call you my friend!

So interesting to see these crossovers, the internet does wonders sometimes.

Reminded me of a Camille Paglia video. Though her’s is more of a stream of consciousness cathartic expression 🤪 ruclips.net/video/NJMD2rBuZtE/видео.html

OIKOPHOBIA. Look it up. This man is so correct!

You begin by deifying architecture because of it's usefulness to the society in which it exists. By this metric we should judge music on the value it bring to the context in which it exists, which would imply Taylor Swift to be 'better' (your idea) than Beethoven. Yet you persist in your baffling pursuit of 'syntax' as the benchmark by which we should evaluate music. At no point do you attempt to clarify what you mean by this either but it appears to be mainly about tones, with no reference at all to rhythm. The disdain, and disingenuousness with which you cherry pick a long studio recording of Bach to place against a short iPhone video of a Justin Bieber concert makes me think you went into this thought experiment with your mind made up and wanted to make some intellectual nonesense to support your superiority. Why not present some of the amazing current music that is pushing the boundaries. Sungazer's 'Cool 7' for example pushes the limits of what is possible rhythmically in completely new ways. And don't be so predictable as to play the 'they're not big' card. Sigh. I also wonder how the intensely syntatically rich musical traditions of Indonesian Gamelan, Persian classical music, Indian classical music and the huge array of rich non-Western musical expressions fit into your colonial superiority. At the end of the day, I don't care if you prefer rennaisance era classical music to Norwegian Black Metal. Like you said, that's subjective. What I intensely object to is trying to imply that this is in any way 'superior' and supporting that with demonstrably flawed arguments.

Amazing!!!

Thank you so much, Dr. Beckeld! I just came across the word OIKOPHOBIA today in a comment on RUclips. It explains EVERYTHING! I'm busy reading all your articles I can find!

So it is liberalism which fuels this.

Beautiful

Not a pop hater but its insane how simple it is, like same keys same progressions, and the ones really doing all the work such as song writing and production dont get any recognition, whereas to be considered anybody in classical music you had to have an amazing piece for every key every instrument and a total knowledge of theory in order to compose, it's insane how music devolved instead evolved over the centuries, like every genre became simpler and simpler

I will listen to your video later, but before that let me say this: David Snowman is someone deeply worried about his side of history being on the trending down, I listened to his lectures, he is full aware of the colossal issues of the west and he absolutely dislike it , he is not a fanatic however his view of the world is definitely tilted sharply Arguing with him or rebutting his views is maybe important for you but it will have zero impact on him and his supporters With that said I wish you and David all the best

Great! Again!

My wife and I do not feel any self contempt and teach our children to love our culture. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

Speculative philosophy of history??

Excellent speech. The Catholic countries are faring better than those of N Europe. Catholicism is the main target and the ultimate obstacle.

👍

We know nothing of what you said.

my music is syntactically complex and sounds good 👍

There is music by Sami Youssef like that ruclips.net/video/ZwObY6KMBXs/видео.htmlsi=uvpx_yl5yzHwDZ8Y really amazing, wonderful, and unique. How can it be compared to classical music? Because I see a difference in the use of musical instruments, as Sami Youssef’s music has a varied use of instruments, and classical music was mostly piano and strings. I really like classical music but just thinking If you are afraid to open the link, this is the name of the music track: (sami yusuf- L'amour vivant | when paths meet vol 2.)

Love the content Dr. B

Your content is very good

שלום עליך, חברי הטוב

Wonderful

Have you ever read the book or watched the movie Ender's Game? I just watched it, and it feels like an Oikophobic mess. It almost seems like it was based on the current Israel war, although it was made far before it. Spoilers: It basically teaches that even if we are faced with what is seemingly an existential threat, we should not fight back, because there's a chance that the enemy doesn't mean harm and is just misunderstood. If we didn't know this, and if we acted as if the enemy truly was a threat, and we then inflicted major casualties on what turns out to have been a misunderstood group, then we forever bare the guilt for our crimes (again, despite the fact that we acted in self defense based on all available data). In the movie, they call this ultimate battle "the battle to end all battles" or something like that. This refers to their goal of completely neutralizing the threat, not because the threat deserves to go, but because the threat is too dangerous. This sounds a lot like the Israel war, but instead of coming to the conclusion that we must sometimes do extreme things (like the nuclear bombs in Japan) to end war, they come to the opposite conclusion. They basically advocate for the side that is asking Israel to lose their war, because the number of casualties is disproportional. (There's also other bad ideologies, but I'm focusing only on this one.)

Gentleman/scholar 🙂👏

What an absolute idiot! Completely disregard averages in statistics to be able to cherry pick. A load of waffle talking about ifs and buts. The fact that people have been brainwashed into thinking america is one of the freer countries is laughable.

Wonderful, Dr. B ❤

Even Plato's Republic requires religious belief in something.

Bravo!! Especially about your comments on multiculturalism and its historical record.

And on the other side does History not show cultures who follow a more religious doctrine are more bigoted, come to violence and war oversaid religions?

Had Comrade Enver Hoxha lasted a little longer in power, I’m sure his atheist model would have worked out just fine 🤪. Ironically enough, when many quote the line “God is Dead” it is citing a line from a piece of Nietzsche’s work in part warning about the very thing you are arguing here.

Yet, when religion declines we also happen to see the greatest growth in economic activity and technology whether that be the Age of Enlightenment or modern times.

Where/ when has this mass atheism developed prior to the 20th century? An honest question.

Social decline and moral deracination - that sounds familiar… I was also under the impression that we are the first guinea pigs heading towards utopia, so thanks for shattering my ignorance. The full video is called “The Substitution Hypothesis” if anyone else wants more of this.

Very helpful, thank you

There's so much to explore in this line of thinking. To an extent the founding of the EU was an expression of an assertive, top-down, delusion of European elites to do away with the dark, unmentionable, legacies of nationalism, imperialism, colonization, and in a sense a branding exercise against the US - rough, uncultured, a bit stupid, and unpredictable. The supra-sovereign delusion was driven by cultural self-loathing. The 90s Balkans conflict was also an irruption of that barbaric nationalist sentiment. The Europeans were embarrassed and ashamed by US air power acting decisively in the Balkans. And then outraged that the sanctified UN was bypassed in the Iraq context. So, time and time again European self-identity expressed in opposition to the US version of modernity. The US hubris in liberal interventionism is paralleled by European hubris that Europe had a sacred duty to clean up after US-led wars in the Middle East. And that it would succeed. (Succeed how? Has any mass migration EU state ever set success measures or metrics for the way the policy is going? Most seem terrified to even collect statistics.) How can this all happen, and continue for almost 10 years? A disastrous policy is usually overturned by voters after a couple of electoral cycles. I have a hunch it lies in the supra-sovereign delusion - that the connection between voters and governments, and between governments and the EU, means European policy is completely detached from voter sentiment. Voters are also detached from policy, and detached from any lingering sense that they may share responsibility and accountability for the policy. I've always thought that politics - as in electoral politics - is downstream from culture. That suggests some long and arduous years of stasis, before crisis finally changes the game.

What’s with putting up quotes without giving the source? Perhaps I missed the references but I don’t see them clearly set out. While I vociferously disagree with these bilge concepts I do look at these anti-Eurocentric illiterati so as to better understand their views. I’ve yet to find one of substantial intellectual heft, most are like James Blaut or Eric Hobsbawm, very rich in self-aggrandizement and plaudits from corrupt academicians but poverty stricken in the depth required by real historians.

So, the ones who enable us to have higher rates of banned chemicals and known carcinogens in our food, who have viewed poor people as no better then cannon fodder and rank-and-file workers for generations, and who seek to undermine the freedoms they say we have , they are our “own?” I’m not sure that I agree . Or at least, moralistically it does not strike me as problematic, if this Oikophobia is in reaction to the opinion / perception that a country is not serving its citizens properly. Then again, if there are those that can justify xenophobia then I can justify Oikophobia against an aggressive / corrupt / dishonest state
