People just don’t like to hear the most detrimental countries to the world was the hailed western countries Britain, France, Germany of course the US and others were absolutely a reason for majority of problems in the world today from genocides to robbery of the highest degree to spreading elitism between tribes and border disputes after the end of colonialism not to mention neo colonialism of countries like the Congo, the Ogadenia war was because of borders by Europeans countries not taking into account actual borders sorry that the truth hurts but no other country has matched “the west”
The problem with Johnny Harris is he muddies the waters, and it makes people want to feel bad and feel some sort of compassion where really none is deserved. I don’t know if he does this intentionally or if he thinks he’s being moral to some caliber by upholding his own leftist views
I think he muddies the waters so we cannot criticize him. It's a little trick. And he probably shares the sentiment with the WEF the West must be destroyed. I get that vibe from Johnny.
I often asked myself the same question, ultimately I believe the strongest factors are a strong tribalism and hate for the West, a perceived moral superiority (we westerners are bad and responsible for all the world's problems but I know it and I'm better than you dirty colonialist), and also, the anti-western ecochamber is a very well oiled machine sponsored by actors all over the world from China to Russia to Muslim countries to Africa, Latin America and even our countries are full of traitors, so once you end up in this loop of hate and disinformation it's very likely to get stuck.
Johnny Harris is paid Chinese/Russian propaganda. A lot of what you see on the internet is paid propaganda by foreign intelligence agencies. TELL EVERYONE.
Johnny Harris is like the “douchy hipster from 2013 that charges you $10 for coffee” of journalism. He always tries to look so intense, dramatic and so perplexed over every single video he makes. If only he spent as much time on the content of his videos as opposed to the aesthetic of them 😒😒😒😒😒
My friends and I hosted the consevative British celebrity Michael Walker, creator of The Scorpion magazine, durin the 80s. One time he had had a few drinks, and, so, when he heard me to declare that I was a bit Norman, he excitedly accused me: "Freebooter! Despoiler of English liberty!".
I remember watching a video from this guy a while ago and thinking "this guy is basically the 'alt' news guy who isn't actually 'alt'" so easy to see through his pretentiousness
The skipper, who was celebrated in the movin picture, actually behaved in a thoroughly nithing manner; and the closest things to heroes were among the passengers and crew.
It's really bizarre because the whole thing is about how foreigners stole Somalian property and resources but people like him don't seem to have the same moral qualms about the pirates stealing cargo from others in addition to holding hostages and executing people.
Last I heard, the Somalian piratical trend hadn't fallen yet, but I may not be up-to-date. It was the only non-poverty job available. All pirates were under rulership of a lord or president of a neighborin land, I forgot which one.
In the beginnin the pirates were descendants of the Scandinavian culture, toward the end of the Golden Age, many other kinds of folks had been recruited, hence the loss of nobility. New Providence was a very mixed population. LaFitte, king of Galveston Island, was a jew and a slaver.
Here in New Orleans we had our own Pirates here. The 2 most known were the brothers. Pierre & Jean Lafitte, and their #2 man that was in charge of all of their Cannons. Was Dominique Youx. Depending on which source you use they had between 500-1,000 ships, boats, between 5,000-10,000 fighters. They pretty much had their very own navy. Also they had Weapons needed for the fight. 5:27 Andrew Jackson had been fighting in the Indian wars in Florida and Mobile Alabama. An all of his Fighting Kentuckians. Were either completely out or almost out of Gunpowder, Musket Ammunition, and Flints for the muskets. An of course the Lafitte brothers had everything they needed. I’m sure someone is going to bring up it was a waste because the war of 1812 was over because of the treaty of Ghent was signed 14 days before the battle of New Orleans. There’s documentation here in New Orleans at the University of NO aka UNO, at LSU, and over in Great Britain. Knew that the Treaty of Ghent was signed, but it wasn’t Ratified yet. The British knew that if they were able to take control of New Orleans they would control the Mississippi River and split America in half
Johnny Harris is an exceptionally good RUclipsr with an amazing editing team. He is however an awful and dishonest historian with HEAVY political bias. I would love to see him in a live debate against you, he'd be trashed without his editing team making him look good.
Jesus, he (Johnny Harris) actually made me feel sorry for the prates at one point. But then, my brain kicked in and said, "wake the f*ck up!" I am a HUGE Johnny Harris fan, but this one was disappointing, as there is NO WAY to morally justify piracy and murder.
30 years of Buccaneers were (but only relatively) "good guys". Drake was cruel and, moreover, a freemason. He did good service, but was not exemplary in his character. Golden age of piracy after the buccaneers was not so good. Buccaneers were mainly workin under charisma of Charles 2, who stayed at my family's house, the sister of Geo. Carteret on Jersey, early durin his exile.
“They paint the world in shadows and tell you to stay close to the light, their light. For in the shadows there be dragons.” - James Flint “Black Sails” It’s a great line full of meaning but it doesn’t really apply to pirates in my opinion.
USA actually won the Battle of Mogadishu, though the battle was sabotaged administratively by infiltrators in US govt. toward the end. Both the documentary and the movin picture are tops. Which documentary I no longer remember, but the maker of it spoke to the camera and was a man maybe about 40 years of age? Losses were much more on the Somali side than on our side. The incident with the helicopter was blown out of proportion in the reportage. The net result of the battle was overwhelmin USA victory, up until the treason of US govt.'s infiltrators and/or infiltratrices.
I love your channel and the information that I receive from it. I’ve been following you for a while and as an Indian, I really like that most historical facts are resurfaced by you. I also happen to be gay, and it actually makes me really happy that the West exists. Because without it, equal rights wouldn’t have been possible anywhere in the world.
Is it not the point of journalism? 1. Take a look at an issue. 2. Accept the relativism of viewpoints on the question. 3. Explore and deliver the viewpoints of each side. Assess trustworthiness/truthfulness of respective statements.
Yes it is unfortunately Jonny is not being a journalist in this video. He is claiming that piracy (theft,kidnapping, and murder) is completely justified because the Somali government didn’t creat an exclusive economic zone.
they were pillin. Pillage is a noun the act of pillin. To use it as a verb in lieu of revertin to the original verb "pill" is illiterate and so irresponsible it isn't even funny.
Why take the verb "to pill", make a noun of it "pillage", then use the noun as a verb rather than to revert to the original verb? Who was in charge while this was bein spread about the would-be English-speakin masses?
The only way you can say it is harmless. Would be if they got on the ship got supplies left and let the ship go on it why. Basically a smash and grab that is basically the only way you can say it was not harmful is if they just stole a couple of things and then let the ship go on.
There was a moral argument for stopping foreign commercial fishing. And anything beyond is highly immoral. Somalia needs a government. Foreignern exploitation only happened after collapse. The reason it collapsed and hasn't ever renewed is on the Somali. They constantly have tribal warfare and Islamic hardline terrorists who make the Taliban appear moderate (Taliban now want to promote tourism and I've seen vids of people actually being tourists there and it seems the idea was actually influenced by what those "extreme tourists" said to Afghanistan's new government. One of them was kept under house arrest for months because they suspected him of espionage). I wonder if the shady companies can get punished somehow as dropping toxic waste into the ocean doesn't only affect Somalia itself. If Somalia as a whole is ungovernable, maybe it should be split into smaller states that are. I hold that opinion about numerous African countries with constant ethnic or tribal tensions, which account for the majority of armed conflicts in SSA. Décolonisation shouldn't have happened within the arbitrary borders between the different colonial administration units.
You should really rebrand yourself. You're more of a pundit than a historian. Historians are supposed to be impartial and stray from injecting their bias into their research. Your political bias shows just from looking at the titles and thumbnails.
He’s not portraying them as good or bad, he’s proving context. This isn’t a zero sum game, where one side is all good, the other all bad. Saudis aren’t hijacking ships for some reason

Dude like to point out what Europeans did and just likes to leave out all the other African, Middle eastern, and Asian countries...
Its like these people think we are only one to do war crimes pretty much.
He's covered China, Russia, Africa, Israel, and Hamas.

Why does Harris always sound like he’s scolding us but we’re not worth raising his voice to?
That’s what a man sounds like
I don't know? But I understand you.
This is my favorite channel. You are the man! I hope you are able to continue dispelling these types of people.
I agree

10:18 Can I go rob a bank, then don't know how to open the valut then leave, and claim "My action was kind of harmless" to the judge?
The skipper, who was celebrated in the movin picture, actually behaved in a thoroughly nithing manner; and the closest things to heroes were among the passengers and crew.
Yeah I’ve noticed a lot of popular narratives concerning things like Somalian piracy being justified starting to form.
It's really bizarre because the whole thing is about how foreigners stole Somalian property and resources but people like him don't seem to have the same moral qualms about the pirates stealing cargo from others in addition to holding hostages and executing people.
What's his next video about? How the Sicilian Mafia started with good intentions?
😂
They just want to provide protection for local businesses
Man, i really enjoy your content. Glad i subscribed, keep up the good work bro!

Henry Morgan's uncle's genealogy is available by repeatedly clickin "father" and "mother" links on Wikipedia. Almost 100% Norman, viking culture.

DO NOT KID YOURSELF, if what you say is TRUE..... Then explain Balnahard - Colonsay????
BOOOOOOM , where's the big mouth WOKE now????
In a nutshell.
Is it not the point of journalism?
1. Take a look at an issue.
2. Accept the relativism of viewpoints on the question.
3. Explore and deliver the viewpoints of each side. Assess trustworthiness/truthfulness of respective statements.

they were pillin. Pillage is a noun the act of pillin. To use it as a verb in lieu of revertin to the original verb "pill" is illiterate and so irresponsible it isn't even funny.
7:46 they have enough of government to claim an economic exclusion zone, but not enough of one to accept waste materials??
Why take the verb "to pill", make a noun of it "pillage", then use the noun as a verb rather than to revert to the original verb? Who was in charge while this was bein spread about the would-be English-speakin masses?

Bro you’re the best my insporstion
Ah yes Johnny Harris the communist and revisionist historian
You wouldn’t believe how many historians are Marxist aligned, it’s painful trying to learn about ww2
What is it that makes people feel there always has to be a good guy and a bad guy…sometimes they are all bad guys 😅
To be fair if the country is recognised anyway why would you have to apply for the zone? I don’t know much about international law
Please more critiques of Johnny Harris’ videos. There is so much misleading history he espouses…

Whites vs North American Natives in the US. Making a historic commment based on a scene from a movie?
Option 1 earn money through work.
Option 2 Do this shortcut cheep methood 🤡
Harris sucks.
thats rude, but lowkey agreed
Why not use green screen?
Also best to look at camera when you are talking.
Johnny harris would be so great if he wasn't a liberal.
RUclips is just getting worse and worse

Use to enjoy this Johnny guys content until he spewed some absolute WIBBLE about the wars and politics....hes an NPC

What
I’m an American but this is so funny.😂
Why 1812? Bloody waters?
