  • In which John looks at what it even means to live in a global age, as we've been talking about Europe's role in the gobal community for 47 episodes now. But, pedantry aside, the world is more connected than ever, and that has had effects in Europe. Today we'll investigate how trade, communications, and disease have changed the continent.

    There's something eerie about hearing ongoing events described in the past tense. It breaks the idea that there is something special about this time because it is "the present", or in other words, because we happen to inhabit it.

      As one of my friends said the other day, "Let's hope that in 10 years time, we look back and say 'Do you remember that crazy time when Covid swept the world and we had to stay inside until it had gone?' rather than 'Do you remember when we used to be able to meet up with groups of people wherever we wanted?' ... a sobering thought!

    This really didn't focus on Europe that much. NGOs, Covid and so on are global phenomenas. I think there's plenty to talk about when it comes to events that happened after the 2000s and it's a shame that the episode missed a lot of it. Examples would be the tensions in the Balkans or between Russia and Ukraine, rising extremism in countries like Poland, Hungary, Turkey (Erdogans coup), the 2008 financial crisis which hit many European nations especially hard, Brexit, the refugee crisis - just to name a few.
    I hope the series, which has been amazing thus far, doesn't end on this note and won't be scarred to cover the current situations which to be fair, are highly politicised. Nonetheless, keep up your amazing work CrashCourse!

The coup was quickly put down and Erdogan used it to purge the army and administration, to accuse and imprison all sorts of political opponents, human rights activists, minorities, and whoever else was seen as a danger to his increasingly authoritarian rule.
      There is a conspiracy theory that Erdogan himself orchestrated the (rather clumsy) coup, though there is no actual evidence for that.

    3:54 Cars banned in Paris ? Believe me, I wish! I've lived my whole life in Paris, and although our current mayor (who just got reelected, yeah!) is trying to implement such measures, it's never been actually done. When pollution reaches really critical levels, half the cars (based on your licence plate number) are forbidden to circulate, and only for a couple days at most... Meanwhile my fellow Parisians keep buying enormous gas-guzzlers they cannot even drive through the city centre's narrow streets. To be fair, the mayor took advantage of quarantine to actually ban cars from some major arteries downtown, and I hope she won't give in to pressure and these parts of the city will stay car-free... But the battle for our lungs is far from over in Paris.

    If anything, Covid-19 has shown that Globalisation has serious flaws. If one part of the supply chain collapses in another country, it can have serious repercussions on other countries. This kind of interdependence was a factor in the bronze age collapse. I think more nations will be wary of globalisation and more keen to pursue local alternatives in the future.

      Just to make sure I’m understanding you, are you saying interdependence as a whole defined as importing/exporting of goods, collaboration with innovation, peace keeping, international aid, and all the jobs that exist because of relationships between countries, etc. should cease? Self sufficiency is not so easily compartmentalized.

    • @mirelism24
      @mirelism24 4 года назад +3

      You make a valid point because there probably are way more cases in China but we have to work with the numbers they report, which are actually fairly low. Notice that the Hubei province is shaded in a darker color. I think a better question is why isn't Florida as dark as Louisiana? Florida is the 4th most affected state in the US if we focus on a per capita count. Anyways, I'm actually impressed they divided this into regions/states and not just countries. The thing is that they may have made the map some time ago and things have changed drastically in a few weeks.

    Theses are great videos, and really something thats needed these days. Proper stuff.
    However theres annoyance I'd like to point out. You tend to sway things towards point you want to make by ignoring selected facts sometimes.
    Not taking any sides, it's really bad practice as it does undermine some of the message you have, and gives leverage for denialism that should't be given. Critical thinking people are very sensitive to that.
    Here's couple from this video:
    Correctly the amount of victims from Chernobyl disaster are said to be from dozen to 200 000. However, that 200 000 is in Ukraine close to the region, for instance scandinavia (where I'm from) did got worst radiation outside USSR at the time of incident, and that was less than many get from ground radiation in their homes in a year. It's very unlikely any deaths from radiation could be warranted to the incident outside the vicinity of the area.
    Another point you make about acid rains in 70's and 80's killing norwegian spruce. It was feared forests would die globally for it, but you forgot to mention the issue was gone in Europe and Canada come the 90's through strict regulation of pollution. And hasn't been problem since. Same is the case with water pollution from factories in europe.

    • @DaDunge
      @DaDunge 4 года назад

      Also not explaining how the fallout ended up in Scandinavia makes it seems it simply spread there, but really it was dust that was swept up and then fell down as part of rain.
      And he failed to mention that the acid rain problems was solved decades ago.
      He also suggested the rise of the far right was due to liberal economics which is only indirectly true, the far right rose as a result of the financial crash and the Eurocrisis, the formed being caused by liberal economics in the US and the latter by a nature of lending dichotomy in Europe (the banks thought the EU would pay the debt of any country using the Euro in a crisis, the EU having no such intentions). Really the entire series has been like that. I think it is a shame he retired young John, young John was a great way to see issues from two sides, something he failed to do repeatedly in this series.

      Liberalism comes in two main parts economic liberalism and legislative liberalism.
      Economic liberalism wants to keep taxes to a minimum and as a result also government spending to a minimum.
      Legislative liberalism want to keep legislation to a minimum and as a result also the use of the governments violence monopoly to a minimum.
      A neoliberal is someone who pushes both of these, with perhaps a slight bias towards economic liberalism, other terms for the same thing is classic liberal (so it's both the new and the oldest) and libertanism.
      A social liberal is someone who clearly favours Legislative liberalism over economic liberalism.
      There is no official term for someone who is fully biased towards economic liberalism but they are sometimes referred to Order liberals, though it think they think of themselves as a form of neoliberals.
