I'm using my D&D campaigns to de-radicalized a few of my friends. I've been running a series of campaigns over a few years now, each on taking place sometime after the last, and creating a grand history and timeline of the world. As time progressed, their former characters have passed from living legends, to simple legends or folktales, and eventually myth; their existence being highly debated. At one point a few of my friends got very upset that a Professor was basically slandering their old characters. That it wasn't fair to critique their actions using information gleaned during modern times. They [past characters] didn't know the Orc tribes they scattered weren't invading but fleeing a draconic threat and environmental collapse. How would they have known? But their complaints fell on deaf ears as the Professor said: "True, in the past they [past characters] were regarded as heroes for countering Orc invasions. But we know better now that they were nothing more that bloodthirsty xenophobic conquers and nothing more." Boy they did not like spending time hearing me speak ill of their old characters, no matter how good and heroic they were.

@Skiritai You obviously haven't read the Bible. There are MANY times God (and I shouldn't have to specify who that God is) lets his and other people suffer, simply because they have turned from him. In the scope of God being the creator and maintainer- our suffering as humans is a very minor thing, after he has promised us eternal life. No one complains here, when having to work harder for guaranteed earthly promotion at a job.
@@JesusIsKingAndSavior It's not necessarily that earthly matters are unimportant, that's a rather gnostic stance. In my opinion the religious philosophy that makes more sense of the existence of evil is that of the philosophers who propose that suffering is necessary, for various reasons. It teaches discipline, character, gratitude, etc. and also that I firmly do hold to a belief that free will is an important facet of God's relationship to humanity.
@@Zetact_ Agreed. In order for people to have free will (the "image of God", let's say) and act responsibly, they have to learn to use it properly. This is where the consequences of actions become disciplinary teaching tools. That means a lot of trial and error despite having a set of instructions to go by. As I see it, this life is our "childhood" on the eternal scale, so those of us who choose to learn and embrace life as it was intended can get things right in "the world to come." The necessity of the "Day of Judgment" is for those who simply refuse to engage in that process and self-improve. We all know the types. We're talking about many of them in this video. No matter how much time and how many miracles they're offered, they'll never choose to get with the program and even try to sort themselves out. So they can't be allowed to pollute the next life for everyone else who does. In the meantime they serve as a very instructive example of how NOT to approach life, though. Also, how can a God who claims to have given us free will then shield us from all the consequences of our decisions? Without consequences, decisions are meaningless illusions, and thus not truly decisions.

I'm trying to remember the quote. It was a French ambassador from the 1960s I believe. He said that the 20th century set a VERY dangerous precedent: Victory in war is now rewarded with total moral purity and authority, while defeat is rewarded with everlasting repentance and the indelible mark of "villainous criminal". Thus, great powers of any future war will fight like brutal demons, knowing that defeat will mean a century of slavery and punishment.
@@nicholashodges201precisely. The statement is an implicit declaration that the speaker intends to manufacture consensus through violence, and they are too self righteous to even sense either that this is true or that it would be immoral to do so.
There's also something hilariously common with this phrase, the people using it tend to also have the most surface level black and white understanding of history.

This reminds me of a conversation I had the other day. Me and a coworker of mine were talking about World War II, and how his grandfather served in Normandy. He said that his grandfather demanded that a German prisoner strip off his clothing so he could take them as souvenirs. When the German soldier refused, he said his grandfather bayoneted the soldier in the chest three times, and said the blouse still had the bayonet holes in them. It was difficult for me to not call his grandfather a murderer. Which reminded me of when people justify their actions by saying that they are “on the right side of history”.
@@MadsterV true, I'm just generalizing for likes. It doesn't help people's emotions when they are encouraged by friends and doctors to take SSRIs for any bad feelings
A moral man does not claim to be on the right side of history. A moral man cares about what is right, not how others will see them in the future. Those that care what history thinks of them are pursuing praise and safety, not morality.

"You can't truly recognize external evil until you inflect, and recognize, and reconcile with it, within yourself. To proclaim one is righteous, externally, without reconciling with one's inner evil, is to become an agent of evil, whilst claiming to be an agent of good. Yin, and yang. If you haven't recognized, acknowledged, and reconciled with your own inner evil, you aren't qualified to tell others what is 'good' or 'evil' externally, because you still haven't accepted that it exists within yourself. This is the difference between the red and the blue. The right, and the left. One is conscious, self-aware. The other is narcissistic, and cannot face itself. Is akin to narcissus, addicted to the distorted reflection of the water. Unable to turn away, and face the undistorted reality of the mirror. The narcissistic, have allowed the narcissistic, to metastasize in your country's brain. What do any of you truly know of evil, if all you've ever done is point and shout (externally). Recognise yourselves in totality. You can't just ignore half of yourselves and blame everyone else because you're too scared to look in the mirror. This is the infection that has been allowed to spread into the brain of the countries of the western world. Narcissism " The road to hell is paved with 'good intentions'. The 'kingdom of heaven' is 'within'. Those who are not fully consciously and psychologically developed (whole, reconciled, no longer disordered), should not be permitted to influence the 'brain' of the country. (metastasis) Healthy cells vs cancerous cells. Psychologically healthy (Reconciled and whole. People) Vs Psychologically unhealthy (Narcissistic, self-righteous, paving the road to hell, with their 'good intentions', because they refuse to aknowledge the s* on their knees). I'm an atheist BTW.
@@jrddoubleu514 its the reason why half the shit "woke" people say is just a projection of their own mind onto the people they have been told to hate but it isnt just them who do it.

In one fanfic I read recently, there was a woman to who THE CAUSE defined her. It was everything for her. So long as she had THE CAUSE, she did not have to think and confront herself. And then she was forced into a situation where she was forced to examine her life. Broken and trying to effectively commit suicide, she told the one who arranged for her to be in the same hell she trapped him in, 'the examined life is not worth living.' Ultimately, that is why the 'right side of history' is. It is fleeing from examining their lives and themselves, desperate for the answers to already be found and known so they do not have to be faced with the awesome and terrible responsibility of making a decision for themselves.
I had a friend who was so concerned with this phrase that he would get triggered and angry whenever it was satirically used in Hell Divers 2. One night he got really drunk and explained to me that because he’s such a morally good person that he has issues playing a satirical video game. 🤦♂️ Needless to say I exercised my freedom of association soon after.
I am atchaly the most moral person: everything I do is moral, my views on everything are the correct views and anytime anyone dose anything I don't like that's a crime against my humanity
The phrase "on the right side of history" is also similar to "for the greater good." Both attempt to absolve the speaker for the actions they will commit. A great example is attacking men who nolonger want to participate in a society that openly berates and attacks them. Being told we just chose the wrong one, just quit whining and get back in there. For the individuals who have weighed the pros & cons and decided they'd rather be alone, there are a lot of people on both sides of politics (false dichotomy) who attack us. Many fear the collapse of society. I fear it too. But I won't be a sacrifice of convenience for an undeserving society. I proudly say, I am no hero.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Don't you get the uniparty system is a distraction? They are both equally as bad. They both tax you to ☠, they both treat you like cattle. While you pick a side and think you are doing so good picking the right side (of history) , they are playing you for a fool while they put up a performance for you so you actually think you are making a difference.
Morality is not relative. If it was, there would be no reason to bother with it. And the reason people believe their morals are the correct ones is the same reason they chose those morals. Who would choose to believe something unless that had reasons to believe it was true for everyone?
@@WideMouthstrange reasoning. My value's and my morality are the one's I believe are best. But at the same time, I can perfectly acknowledge that other people have different values (which is demonstrably true). Therefore, values are in that sense not universal. This is precisely why we seek to live with people who share common values.
Just remember, nobody who actually believes something about themselves EVER needs to say it out loud. If you've got it, you never need to tell anyone, they already know. Having to tell people "what I am" is the quickest indicator that A) You aren't it and B) You know it and C) You really want everyone else to believe it because you don't. You'll never meet a person who has something to truly brag about, believes it, and then feels the need to tell everyone about it. Bragging is self reporting.
Essentially yes. It’s in the same vein as a guy who goes about talking up his fighting abilities or how bad ass he is.. the real bmf is the guy who is quiet.. that’s the one you don’t want to tangle with.

Around 10 years ago, at College, I got kicked out of class because I laughed at my professor when he quoted that old MLK chesnut "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice". He asked me what was so funny and I said that history is written by the winners and that if the Austrian painter won we'd think he was moral. That's when he threw me out.
If you don't have faith in God, then sure, this means nothing to you. Albeit that also means there's no right or wrong, seeing that it's predicated on moral absolutes dictated by said God. I have an unshakable faith that there is such a God, and ultimately, His word is what dictates right and wrong. Wherefore being on His right side is where I desire to be. Not some arbitrary moral grandstanding for whatever is popular in these godless hedonistic times.
If modern day authoritarian leftism is “the right side of history“ then I look forward to being remembered for the rest of human existence as having been on the wrong side of history.
It must really get the left's panties in a twist that they're basically dominating the culture and (in America) practicing some of the worst of authoritarian abuses of power, and yet still want to claim some sort of underdog, revolutionary status. You can't really fight The Man, when you _are_ The Man.
I never put in this level of thought into the phrase, but there was always a smugness I got from, like asking, "Hey, don't you wanna come sit at the winner's table?"
Yes, but in a generous sense I guess the right side of history is that what ultimately exists long term, and brings the most prosperity, and least suffering amongst the options, if it means anything at all
It's no coincidence that every single one of the bloodiest, most amoral, most merciless and sadistic dictatorships of the last couple hundred years have declared themselves to be on the "Right Side of History".

When in reality their names have at most a generation or two before they're forgotten. They're going to be nameless nobodies to history, regardless of whether they claim to be the right or not.
This goes all the way back to Marx. The communists believed that they had figured out how history worked; that all of history was about class struggle. So they presumed to know how the future would unfold (i.e. the proletariat would win) and they would therefore be on the right side of history. That's why their loses don't dissuade them, because they believe that they will eventually win.
Just remember, the Communist Manifesto was once called the Communist Confession of Faith. It is a religion with a sickle and hammer in place of a cross.
This started after Obama. It means the individual saying it is the apex of moral superiority for all time. Not just for our time or the past. But for all time. They judge people from 150 years ago for things like slavery but think that no future society will judge them in such a way. Indeed, they think the future society will hold them in awe and try to emulated them. Arrogance in its purist form. I have thought about this for awhile. These people are the moral busibodies CS Lewis talked about. Glad you did this video, Sargon.
I often interpreted it as like. “In the future people will look back at us as the good civil rights activists and you as the bad Jim Crow southerners” But that still shows they don’t have a nuance understanding of history and can only see it as good/bad.
basically, they're looking back at the past and seeing that the people whose movements who have died out were also, in their eyes, immoral, so because today you are immoral, you will die out too, and in the future their inheritors will look back at you the same way. which, even if it ends up being true, is not an argument.
2 Timothy 3 - But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Don’t. It’s a snippy response that is predicated on fatally misunderstanding the phrase as meaning that the winners were always morally right. That is not what is being said. I’m actually confused why Sargon opted for a strawman here rather than to engage with the actual meaning. The speaker believes that their position is morally correct under our shared ideals, but it is not currently recognized. For a simple example we could look at at when slavery was acceptable and recognize it is in conflict with the ideals of freedom even at the time. It merely took time for people to widely recognize that the practice and the ideal had always been in conflict. History has an arc of justice because the ideals remain the same, we just learn more about achieving them. The right side of history is declaring they have figured out a conflict between our ideals and our practices early which people will come to agree on given time. (Under the assumption that the resistance is based on the human resistance for change which cannot be argued with, but can be outlived.) Now, you could argue that maybe the ideals will suddenly change instead. That humans just on mass decide that freedom is bad, injustice should triumph, safety should not exist, and suffering is better than happiness, etc. The sun also might not rise tomorrow, but we’ll assume it does since it’s highly unlikely to change. Now, mind you. They could still be wrong. But we shouldn’t engage with strawmen.
@@ryonalionthunderwhat you said is just a bunch of words. You made no actual point. Sargons point is still completely correct. The right side of history has been wrong so many times, just because there have been times when it wasn’t doesn’t negate that fact. It’s not a straw man at all, I don’t know what you’re talking about. It seems more like you just tried to confuse readers but make no actual point.
@@ryonalionthunder your assumption is wrong, even something you view objective as slavery is entirely predicated on democratic ideals were political rights are more important than human condition. Everything is a trade off, even scientific advancement, there is no morally objective system. Morality is entirely derived from the ethics of individual human interactions.
@@CivilizedWasteland You didn't read. It's not about a morally objective system, it's about identifying a contradiction between an action and the values you already agreed on. For comparison. We get better at playing chess over the course of history. There is no objective chess system. There's just the rules we already agreed on and then determining whether a strategy can be improved. It'd be foolish to say chess isn't objective as though that's an argument against a improving a strategy.
The right side of history: "We've run out of people in society to vouch for our awful ideals to, so we're going to pretend that people who haven't been born yet are in favor of our world view and opposed to yours." It is nothing short of the outsourcing of morality to a generation that has not been born yet. It is Keynesian economics applied to morality, if you don't have the approval to go ahead with your ideas, find a way to print more approval, invent an imaginary people of tomorrow who will look back and judge us from your point of view.
Yeah, I wish Sargon would have mentioned the origin of the term too. Kinda like how pretty much all communist theory is based on an extremely small cult which has only admitted members of the intellegencia and most people who hear of it think the people who believe it are complete nutjobs.
The right side of history is a perfect phrase for them. They and their dogmatic adherence to whatever the current thing is and that it is always the right thing even if just the day before it was the wrong thing.
"The right side of history" is a modern euphemism for "the ends justify the means." Basically that any amount of evil can justify pursuit of a vision of the future.
It’s funny. CS Lewis talked about this, saying that the reason that the second coming will happen unexpectedly “even when there is so much work to be done” is because “people will excuse the worst atrocities for some future utopia and only at the end, when it all comes to a sudden end, so they see the murders, the atrocities, the deaths.” (Somewhat paraphrased)
"The right side of history" is such a loaded phrase. Keep in mind that this is the side of moral relativism, but they sure do want to push only their ideas as good and moral. It also assumes the current moral system is permanent. The way we live would be considered evil, lazy, and self-indulgent in so many other places and periods of history. Are we to assume that they're all wrong?
The instant come back to anyone claiming this is "No, I AM on the right side of history" leaving them left spluttering because there is no true way to prove it either way anyway. If they argue just keeping repeating it like a toddler, it's their MO anyway so they cannot construct anything when faced with their own childish thought processes.
It's a weird thing to say, you are right, they are materialists atheist by design yet employ language of belief. A living contradiction. Iconoclasts and idolaters at the same time.
I don't care about being on the right side of history, because I don't worship history. History is a strange god to appeal to. I'll worship something else.

So they can't be allowed to pollute the next life for everyone else who does. In the meantime they serve as a very instructive example of how NOT to approach life, though.
Also, how can a God who claims to have given us free will then shield us from all the consequences of our decisions? Without consequences, decisions are meaningless illusions, and thus not truly decisions.

Thus, great powers of any future war will fight like brutal demons, knowing that defeat will mean a century of slavery and punishment.

The red-pilling of Carl has been amongst the most satisfying to watch of the online political commentators.
"You can't truly recognize external evil until you inflect, and recognize, and reconcile with it, within yourself.
To proclaim one is righteous, externally, without reconciling with one's inner evil, is to become an agent of evil, whilst claiming to be an agent of good.
Yin, and yang.
If you haven't recognized, acknowledged, and reconciled with your own inner evil, you aren't qualified to tell others what is 'good' or 'evil' externally, because you still haven't accepted that it exists within yourself.
This is the difference between the red and the blue.
The right, and the left.
One is conscious, self-aware.
The other is narcissistic, and cannot face itself. Is akin to narcissus, addicted to the distorted reflection of the water. Unable to turn away, and face the undistorted reality of the mirror.
The narcissistic, have allowed the narcissistic, to metastasize in your country's brain.
What do any of you truly know of evil, if all you've ever done is point and shout (externally).
Recognise yourselves in totality.
You can't just ignore half of yourselves and blame everyone else because you're too scared to look in the mirror.
This is the infection that has been allowed to spread into the brain of the countries of the western world.

In one fanfic I read recently, there was a woman to who THE CAUSE defined her. It was everything for her. So long as she had THE CAUSE, she did not have to think and confront herself. And then she was forced into a situation where she was forced to examine her life. Broken and trying to effectively commit suicide, she told the one who arranged for her to be in the same hell she trapped him in, 'the examined life is not worth living.'
Ultimately, that is why the 'right side of history' is. It is fleeing from examining their lives and themselves, desperate for the answers to already be found and known so they do not have to be faced with the awesome and terrible responsibility of making a decision for themselves.

The phrase "on the right side of history" is also similar to "for the greater good." Both attempt to absolve the speaker for the actions they will commit. A great example is attacking men who nolonger want to participate in a society that openly berates and attacks them. Being told we just chose the wrong one, just quit whining and get back in there. For the individuals who have weighed the pros & cons and decided they'd rather be alone, there are a lot of people on both sides of politics (false dichotomy) who attack us. Many fear the collapse of society. I fear it too. But I won't be a sacrifice of convenience for an undeserving society. I proudly say, I am no hero.

That's why their loses don't dissuade them, because they believe that they will eventually win.

basically, they're looking back at the past and seeing that the people whose movements who have died out were also, in their eyes, immoral, so because today you are immoral, you will die out too, and in the future their inheritors will look back at you the same way. which, even if it ends up being true, is not an argument.

"The right side of history has been wrong so many times" is a phrase I will start using from now on.
Don’t. It’s a snippy response that is predicated on fatally misunderstanding the phrase as meaning that the winners were always morally right. That is not what is being said.
I’m actually confused why Sargon opted for a strawman here rather than to engage with the actual meaning.
The speaker believes that their position is morally correct under our shared ideals, but it is not currently recognized. For a simple example we could look at at when slavery was acceptable and recognize it is in conflict with the ideals of freedom even at the time.
It merely took time for people to widely recognize that the practice and the ideal had always been in conflict.
History has an arc of justice because the ideals remain the same, we just learn more about achieving them.
The right side of history is declaring they have figured out a conflict between our ideals and our practices early which people will come to agree on given time. (Under the assumption that the resistance is based on the human resistance for change which cannot be argued with, but can be outlived.)
Now, you could argue that maybe the ideals will suddenly change instead. That humans just on mass decide that freedom is bad, injustice should triumph, safety should not exist, and suffering is better than happiness, etc. The sun also might not rise tomorrow, but we’ll assume it does since it’s highly unlikely to change.
Now, mind you. They could still be wrong. But we shouldn’t engage with strawmen.

I've read history books, the right side of history is whatever side is still around to write the books
The right side of history: "We've run out of people in society to vouch for our awful ideals to, so we're going to pretend that people who haven't been born yet are in favor of our world view and opposed to yours." It is nothing short of the outsourcing of morality to a generation that has not been born yet. It is Keynesian economics applied to morality, if you don't have the approval to go ahead with your ideas, find a way to print more approval, invent an imaginary people of tomorrow who will look back and judge us from your point of view.
One of our best modern day thinkers. Thank you Carl ❤
"History" means "The End of History", aka the Hermetic God they are trying to manifest via the dialectic (alchemy)
Yeah, I wish Sargon would have mentioned the origin of the term too.
Kinda like how pretty much all communist theory is based on an extremely small cult which has only admitted members of the intellegencia and most people who hear of it think the people who believe it are complete nutjobs.
As a writer, I have my villains (who believe themselves to be the good guys) unironically use this exact line.
The right side of history is a perfect phrase for them. They and their dogmatic adherence to whatever the current thing is and that it is always the right thing even if just the day before it was the wrong thing.
"The right side of history" is a modern euphemism for "the ends justify the means." Basically that any amount of evil can justify pursuit of a vision of the future.
"But for now, I'm just very tired"
Me, too, Sargon. Me, too.
Hunter S Thompson's The Wave speech captures this dynamic so beautifully
It’s funny. CS Lewis talked about this, saying that the reason that the second coming will happen unexpectedly “even when there is so much work to be done” is because “people will excuse the worst atrocities for some future utopia and only at the end, when it all comes to a sudden end, so they see the murders, the atrocities, the deaths.” (Somewhat paraphrased)
"The right side of history" is such a loaded phrase. Keep in mind that this is the side of moral relativism, but they sure do want to push only their ideas as good and moral.
It also assumes the current moral system is permanent. The way we live would be considered evil, lazy, and self-indulgent in so many other places and periods of history. Are we to assume that they're all wrong?
