Heresies Ep. 8: The War on Our History -- A Cultural Revolution
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- History is a major battleground in the culture wars. Our past is being weaponised in the most cynical of ways. Heroes like Winston Churchill have been marginalised and recast as pantomime villains. Education, the media, the arts, indeed all our institutions, routinely judge our country by its very worst historical moments. Meanwhile, all that is great and good is either glossed over or expunged completely. Put simply, the revolutionary impulse to destroy has all but conquered the instinct to conserve.
What can we do to reverse this situation? In "The War on Our History", episode 8 of our acclaimed documentary series #NCFHeresies, Dr. Philip Kiszely, a lecturer in cultural history at the University of Leeds, seeks to explain what is going on -- and why.
Dr. Kiszely, charts the intellectual course of events that led to the institutional capture we call "The Long March"; from Kierkegaard and Antonio Gramsci to the rise of post-modernism under Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida's deconstructionists. Features interviews with Prof. Frank Furedi, Calvin Robinson and Inaya Folarin Iman

Superb programme. Intelligent, clearly-argued and interestingly presented. Good contributions from Calvin Robinson et al. It's an appalling thought that it is inconceivable that our national broadcaster would give it air time. This illustrates the huge gulf between our institutions and the general population. Thanks to You Tube we're not condemned to having our intelligence insulted by such institutions. Thank you Mr. Kiszely.
I liked the contribution of the first woman, pointing out that liberation movements used ideas from the Western Enlightenment as their foundations.
It's a bit of a shame that the government has turned off the motor way cameras round Kent so pensioners spouting easily proven lies in the daily wail cannot see the 4 day tailbacks of exporters trying to get goods out of the country now that they have taken back control
@@jeremysmith8035 They say a fine whine improves with age, but in your case that is not true. It just gets annoying to hear the same old far left winge. Get over it. Get used to the concept of democracy, hard though that is for the hard left to understand, since you prefer authoritarian government and adherence to central dogma.
Well done Phil!! Clearly argued, marvellous. Calvin Robinson‘s comment that original sin has been replaced by ancestral sin is absolutely spot on!!!
As someone whose politics have taken a sharp turn to the right in recent years I must say this has made me much more understanding of the human plight generally and appreciative of our rich heritage. Plus it's just way more amusing in all senses of the word, something I didn't expect years ago. More power to those with their heads screwed on.

15:00 to 17:00, the recounting of his assault: awful to hear. Just as bad to hear the reaction of some of his colleagues! Great film!
I’m sorry you were attacked,that must have been terrifying.I really enjoyed listening to you & your guests 🙂
super discussion and timely as we need to awake to the propaganda and misreprentation of the left. Dr. Philip Kiszely, a lecturer in cultural history at the University of Leeds - well done you.
I am a white Anglo Saxon English man and proud to be English
Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Thank-you for his excellent program and for your suggestions as to what one person can do.
Great film and of course not only related to GB but also the rest of the EU since diversity undermines more and more a general identity in all countries and their societys ..
We need to understand why conservatives completely failed to conserve.
The centre Right went for Classical Liberalism and the Left for Progressive Liberalism and we then wonder why tradition was lost.
The cultural dynamics of the West from 1945 have been moving in one way only.
Just watched the film in full. Its still staying inside the Liberal paradigm unfortunately.
English conservatism is about preserving, or conserving, the ‘English Classical Liberal Tradition’. Individualism, free speech, voluntary association, property rights, consent of the governed etc. Conservatives in England are Liberal in a Protestant Christian framework of family, the golden rule and loving thy neighbour (or at least not hating them as that makes you the thing you hate. Have compassion and try to help them become better people, less tribal, more accepting of the community that they live in) amongst a lot of other things, a hierarchy of values, so to speak.
@@Dude0000 yes, that's why we are going under.
Just adding, Capitalism has been the bulwark for Liberalism and open borders Globalisation. Capitalism has nothing to gain from tradition, traditional values, the traditional family unit (one parent working) and strong borders.
International finance is funding so much of the Woke agenda. Bank of America and PayPal funded BLM.
And Individualism will always lose to the collective.
Well put and absolutely true.
@@rickshaw2779 the Classical Liberal position paved the way for our decline, collapse and even our demographic replacement. It's been an establishment safety valve to stop people moving to Nationalism or more radical positions.
@@shaunpatrick8345 wrong. Capitalism loves mass immigration as its cheap labour and future consumers for capitalism. That's why all centre Right parties support immigration. Capitalism doesn't have to increase pay and conditions, or invest in training if it can just import labour.
Capitalism is only focused on profit.
Globalisation is driven by Global Capitalism.
This is such goody quality content / keep up the good work pls ))
Excellent
Some very good points but why the 1972 Carnaby Street outfit?
He is from Bury, need I say more.
yeah, very 70s lol

Commonality, such as this presenter with his "koolchur," must be kept down. That is the political challenge.
THE slave trade? which slave trade...
The one that ended 200 years ago. No one is alive today who was either a slave or a slaver. No one is alive today who put an end to slavery.
I am “British and proud” of being British.
Yet many that have flocked to these shores for a “better life” would jeer at this pride.
However, If said I was “Black and proud” of being black.
many of those that had jeered the first statement, would applaud the second statement.
These same people would claim that only the British are racist, while not recognising their own racism.
Wow so very sorry you were set upon and attacked in such a horrific way:( and some peoples’ reaction to it :( thank you for doing this important documentary.
Yes, as Phil mentioned, some of tbe comment from co-workers was more hurtful than the actual attack
To discuss issues of inequality, injustice, exploitation and dehumanisation in Manchester without discussing the hideous treatment of the white working classes there, is a surprising achievement. The mill, mine, and factory workers of the 19th century, and even those of the 20th century who came back from two world wars to face homelessness, criminally low wages, useless schools for their children, and, until 1948 and the NHS, total lack of adequate health care, would have considered the welfare payments and services offered freely to immigrants today to have been luxury. Wokery is the attempted theft of the majority's history, and is very useful to the modern exploiters. Stop being squeamish: stamp on this culture of lies.
Very well said.

Good luck with that, St George’s day isn’t even a bank holiday.
NCF certainly has the best dressed people in it's ranks. I learnt the hard way too, although not quite as dramatic. Walking back home one evening I was almost mugged. When I mentioned the description of the muggers I was accused of racism and told there was sociological reasons why it happened.
I smell bullshit.

@@evolassunglasses4673 and at the heart of everything is religion. Christianity or Woke. They’re the 2 main ones, even if you don’t think you are. Individual or group identity in its most basic framing. Many atheists are much more ‘Christian’ than ‘Woke Vicars’ for example. Christianity has a value system and belief in God is just the ‘faith’ part. The values make you a ‘cultural Christianity’ and many atheists fit into this. Unfortunately, the tribalism mindset, or collectivism that’s inherent in developing countries, and Europe to a lesser degree, has taken over the institutions, thus are anti-English. That’s why they hate England, they’re culturally foreign to it.
@@Dude0000 unfortunately Christianity wasn't strong enough to save us from Liberalism and Globalisation.

Except in this society I would argue we live within cultural pluralism, not multiculturalism. It is the same as the US. Thus a good definition would be;
"Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, whereby their values and practices are accepted by the dominant culture, provided such are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society."[wiki]
The 'laws and values of the wider society' evolved from a

Can I ask about the whites taken into Slavery in the Near East from say 632 onwards?? Here's a thought in Arabic haram means forbidden. A collection of females for the pleasure of the sheikh is harem, a word not a million miles from haram. The western white females that had babies those were disposed of in a pretty inhumane way. According to the standard Islamic narrative or Sin.
I believe that, as they say, Knowledge is power. Learn more about your own history, the history of this country, England the country I was born in and love.
Have an answer for those that spew out the rhetoric with no real knowledge or context.
Arm yourself with facts, not to argue necessarily but to question, it's amazing how many flounder after a couple of questions.
Well said.
They stopped teaching History in our schools in 2002.
Fantastic, congratulations to all concerned. From a British Scot in Bulgaria who would love to see his country again. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that would involve a time machine as opossed to an plane. Keep up the fight.
10mins in and it's missing the most crucial factor in the emergence of "wokeness", being the moral-psychological paradigm. The shift from a traditional religious regime, to a secular egalitarian regime where minorities are sacralised, in which the internet has accelerated and radicalised it's excesses. One of the characterising pathologies or complexes of the modern west, is the radical phobia of bigotry and racism (to black people) being that most powerful. This charged complex is always in the psychological background of our everyday life and culture. The result is that in culture, when England (or the west) is presented, it is trivialised, deconstructed, mocked. The very fact that the modern world happened to emerge in the west is becoming a racist conspiracy theory. The very fact that being a minority, presupposes that in many ways being alienated is an unavoidable fact, is replaced with the idea that simply being unusual, is being a victim of a supremacist system of privilege vs oppression. Last of all, the west being that place where egalitarian discourses were born, has been replaced with the idea that the west created bigotry.
I despair at the denigration of Western culture by these woke extremists, and their fundamentally racist ideologies. They have no sense of nuance, no sense of humour, no appreciation of history within the context of the times.
I bumped into a gentleman to day at the supermarket we talked about the state of the country he was 84 but he said to me that he loved his country which is what I have been saying for years it's good that there are people who do love this country and are willing to speak up for it
But can we save it against the forces of open borders Globalisation?
I think we are moving to bulkanization.
We maybe able to save some of our people and civilisation.

But...he's 84... And will soon be gone. Who will replace him?

Someone in a dingy in the English Channel …
I’m 84 and used to love “my” country. But I don’t have a country anymore, so there is nothing to love.
I have lived in various areas and places in England and have found that the cities in particular are like those of a a third world country with their litter strewn and graffiti daubed street. Manchester City where I now live has during the summer has a stench of vomit. faeces and urine which due to the rain does occasionally mercifully get washed away and throughout the year there is cloying sting of cannabis being openly smoked on the streets. I wonder if this purposefully being allowed by the current Mayor of Greater Manchester so like the proverbial frog in the pot of slowly heated water we get used to it as this is going to be our future and that of the UK.
We are in the ashes of civilisation.
Given how shitty and piss soaked some of the side roads around Piccadilly gardens have become it is hard to understand why the council can't improve the area with some free to use public toilets. Certainly a worthwhile expense to the municipal coffers of out city.
@@nick-jo3hy maintaining public toilets costs money that the council would rather spend on diversity and inclusivity training. Also they become an attraction for drug taking, the homeless, sexual activities, and undoubtably end up being vandalised.
There is so much here. But your response from your tutors is something I struggled to understand but having done an art degree at mmu I saw it more clearly. Rumour had it that one of the tutors encountered something similar in london. But admitted to his own mistake and felt he was to blame. These people are so embedded in this ideology that they even become its sacrifice.
Nothing but the highest respect for Dr. Kiszely for his sober, dispassionate view on the topic.
The road to Hell is paved with good intention !
Actually Britain was colonised a few times: 1: By the Romans, 2: By the Angles and the Saxons, 3: by the Vikings and 4: by the Normans.
Studying History and understanding how nuanced and complicated it is, is important.
You could say that, that did us a lot of good. Brings it down to a Monty Python line…”What have the Romans ever done for us”
Great point, But some that came over to colonise stayed and intergreated over a long time, and some did return to their county. So we evolved over hundreds of years.
Colonized or conquered? Understanding the nuances is important so you might like to delve into the history of the Great Heathen Army,
In a certain sense Treelinius your point is a little bit nonsensical. If a population is replaced then over time the new population becomes de-facto the native population. There is no one left to remember or regret a people's passing. That which never existed does not have a hold over the future. Our problem is that we exist in the transition when these things can be both seen and regretted. Sure a thousand years from now when England is no longer as it is today with a population that will be unrecognizable, no one will notice or care.
@@tomasstride9590 Its not an uncommon view amongst Historians to say that Britain was colonised. The new arrivals interbred with the locals - but the Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings et al certainly weren't from here, but they set up shop and stayed. But yes you're right, after a long enough time, the population blends and no one cares anymore.
But im sure they cared at the time.
I don't agree with Phil's disparaging comments about "keyboard warriors". For sure you get more sense from talking to the cat than an anarchist about British history, but that's the point. When you debate these regressives (I refuse to use the term 'progressive') online you have to constantly bear in mind that you are not trying to convince them, you're talking to the people who will witness the discussion and the argument. THEY can be convinced. They can be swayed. They can have their eyes opened. Social media is an incredibly powerful tool. I don't see the cause can be furthered by giving it up to the wokists.
I'm completely with you Vandpubsell.
He seems to be saying not go go out in your life and talk to the ordinary people around you because they are some how less worthy of your time than he is !
I do understand where Phil's remark about keyboard warriors comes from. It can be extremely mentally tiring to try and help an indoctrinated radical wokiest to see any sense of reality, in fact it is often impossible. I still do try though, but they inevitably resort to name calling as they can not formulate a reasonable argument (hence me choosing this current name as I thought it may have to make them think a little harder before they spurt out nazi, islam or trans phobe, but it doesn't).
An example of what I have come up against in the last couple of days has made me doubt their sanity! I have found myself having to defend the rights of children not to be r4ped by the "progressive MAP community" aka Minor Attracted Persons. These vile people advocate the removal of the age of consent because the find it "oppressive", if you haven't heard of this term put it in the search bar as there are videos here about them, their end goal is to legalise peadophilia. Then I had an exchange with someone who thought that uncontrolled illegal immigration across the channel should be made legal because these people "are just wanting to better their lives"...but they couldn't comprehend that our infrastructure, culture and quality of life could be negatively impacted even the slightest...not even the environmental destruction of the countryside being concreted over at an alarming rate could give them a change of thought. I won't give up, I will continue to challenge the cult of wokery...but at the end of the day big tech holds all the cards...I have been terminated from youtube several times for "hate speech" or more accurately "wrong think" for simply questioning radical opinions.
@@simonmuhamed1071 I understand his remark too, but I still think he is wrong. As I said, you likely won't convince the woke, but you might convince the surfers who bump into the discussion. Given the power of social media, I certainly dont think surrendering it to the opposition is a good idea. We've had too much retreat and too much compromise in too many areas of public life in the false hope of a quiet life.
All very well put. Yet it’s hard to fight ignorance with eloquence. As you say, you may as well talk to the cat !
It may one day come to fisticuffs !
Well historically that’s happened before.
Sorry to hear of your run in with the Somali immigrants or as the woke would prefer..... true Britons with an equal history going back millennia or some such lying BS. 🤥

It's up to us to keep our history alive through our support of what has defined us. Our culture will be subsumed if we fail to treasure and celebrate it, so we need to be active and vocal at every opportunity.
Excellent, though heart-breaking.
I would be interested to know whether or not your horrific encounter in the park was recorded as a hate crime or racial incident etc. If not then you can challenge any statistical claims made in passing by those 'concerned' fellow 'academics' as flawed.
19:00 Calvin hits nail on head ... "removing whiteness" is what decolonisation is all about. If you hear that term, just do not accept it has any meaning unless the person defines it exactly as it is.
Colonisation is seen as a Western stain...But if we look at history in a logical way we see that the Human Race has a an almost endless list of instances where strong societies/countries invade weaker countries extract wealth and taxation and subjugate the indigenous population: The Roman Empire, The Carthage Empire, The Byzantine Empire, The Mongol Empire, The Spanish Conquistadors, The British Empire etc etc People were no doubt treated horribly in the formation of these empires but historically it explains how Human Society and the world has moved from point a) then to point b) now....Is this important information or do we just zero on on the European elements and decide it means Western Society and White People are a blight on the modern world? and the guilt of our forefathers contaminates everything?
Nick ... excellent points. Slavery ... actual physical purchase and total control of human beings ... still exists in the world today but nary a peep is heard about it. And sexual slavery and trafficking of humans is, unfortunately, alive and well yet knowledge of it or discussion of it is actively suppressed.
It is only one racial group being vilified while other racial groups are not actively condemned for the very same offences.
That informs me. It helps me understand that the 'principles' and 'values' being trumpeted by the wokerati are merely Psy Op strategies and tactics in a very different and cloaked and subversive attack on traditional Christian culture, and, indeed, the Word of God, upon which the West was born.
Someone else made the point in these comments that many atheists, while denying a specific sovereign deity to one degree or another, still hold to basically Christian culture as preferable to other 'choices' of culture largely because that is the culture, thoughts, principles, values, etc. they grew up in and have decided it seems right and good to them. So, even if one denies or rejects the founder, it still seems best that, basically, the Ten Commandments might be the way to go.
I think developments in the next few decades will bear this out and that this is the real reason why traditional conservative minorities in America are scorned.
'Thou shalt not steal' has been rejected by the woke in favor of 'hey, you are oppressed, so go loot and steal because you deserve it.'
Besides the advantage of hastening the destruction of current civilization, the woke nihilists champion the cunning criminal mind. As in the days of Pontius Pilate, they say, 'Give us Barrabas!'
'Man is his own god. There is no god but Man' ... Karl Marx.
@@Zandanga I'm not religious but I agree completely that our species is lost with out the precepts and simple moral underpinnings that religion afforded for thousands of years - Zealotry is generally rained in over time by sensible moderates in any faith. But this new Woke movement of the special self is eating us up and seems to have no moral scaffolding just a momentum towards a reimagining of society by the few special people who believe they understand what is best for all of us

Those who control the past, control the future. Well done NCF. Fantastic documentary
Congratulations to all involved - a great discussion about such a vital subject. As a keen history reader myself - particularly the history of various empires around the world - this programme certainly kept my attention.
Thank you. As I work with the public, I joined the free speech union last year and started talking... I started muddying the waters, trying to make the past a bit more grey rather than black & white.
Why would you want to muddy the waters?
@@Offshoreorganbuilder My experience dealing with the few 'Woke' I have encountered is the live by absolute certainty that the world is black or White/good or bad/virtuous or wicked. They see themselves as on the right side of what little history they have learned by cherry picking facts. Muddying the waters means that nothing is quite as crystal clear as they once thought they were.
@@majorbloodnok6659 Hmm ... I wonder when we will see the first film on slavery, showing the village elders in Africa, say, selling black people to the *other* slave-traders from England, America and the rest?
*That* would go down like a lead balloon.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder Yes it would, this is a point I make whenever the subject comes up; along with the story of the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron.
"....... I joined the free speech union..." Excellent idea and sadly a sensible protection before verbalising the 'wrong' ideas.
Excellent production, with some good advice at the end. Thank you for making this available.

I hope her project does well. I fear it will fall victim to a narrow vision that seeks to sow hatred and division in what is - despite it's faults - a tolerant and liberal country.
Loved the narrative, loved the quiet, understated assertions and clarity. Most of all, the clear statement of what is self evidently true. That we [and our history] are doubtless flawed, chequered, filled with triumph, desperate sadness, loving, vindictive & vicious. However, to view the past, without seeing it through the prism of the values, perceptions & probity of those times is a deeply flawed excursion. Thank you for a well crafted vignette.
100 % spot on examination of these days we live in. Superb work folks !
Social justice warrior's is a deceptive and a manipulative term, anarchist agitators is more accurate and descriptive
They're not anarchists. They could not do any of this without the state. The state enables this. If the state wanted to stop them it could do that because the state pays their salaries and refuses to enforce property laws. Anarchism is the only way out of this, ie., a private law society that enforces private property rights. If the universities were not subsidised by the state to do this they couldn't. If damaging private property required compensation or imprisonment enforced by a private security firm they'd stop. Therefore, a stateless society is the only future if you want to prevent the commie takeover.

Great contribution from Frank Furedi. Very clear view of how history is being used versus should be used.
Philip Kiszely did not touch on the relevance to the "culture war" of globalisation. A phenomenon that is not just economic but, in the west at least, has also lead to groups with vastly different interests trying to share the same territory.
A direct result of this is the attempts of new groups to try to rewrite the history of the indigenous population. As they sense themselves to be more and more in the ascendency they also want to control the narrative - because it reinforces that ascendency.
Despite that this inevitably leads to what Kiszely is complaining about, he is unlikely to touch on it. He is, in essence, a liberal academic, so raising it would invite too many uncomfortable questions about the damage caused by mass immigration
Right. Touch on questions that would reveal that the whole project is obviously Marxist. Diversity is a blue communist aka cultrual Marxist attack on Western civilisation aka patriarchy aka bourgeois culture. They gave up on "La Revolucion!" and instead opted for the "long march through the institutions" and diversity. It's communist revolution but the slow way by way of replacement of the culture.
@@TomTabaczynski Agreed. What's scary is that Kiszely still cannot bring himself to go where he logically needs to go, even after being beaten half to death by the problem.
The Wonderful British Empire founded the great country of Canada!
well done. well articulated..... non antagonistic and simply holding the line for decent values.
I just read about this in a book addressing a wholly different topic. Here’s what the author said that is so prescient: “Special interest groups and one issue political coalitions take nonnegotiable stands based on irreducible demands formulated out of social dogma. It is as though such coalitions regard their own standards as so impeccable as to be quite above the vulgarity of political intercourse, the very essence of which is compromise in favor of the common good. These groups wish to dictate what the common good is to be. And while such groups may often act and sound “political”, they are in fact private eschatological totalitarianisms whose tactics are pious aggression.“ Aidan Kavanaugh, “On Liturgical Theology“ p. 3.
"pious aggression" = Power hungry commies masquerading as well intentioned do-gooder ideologues aka wolf in sheep's skin. Keep it simple.
The doctor is most definitely in the house! A really incisive, thoughtful analysis of the state of the nation. It doesn't just point to problems, which is the easy bit, but actually proffers some potential answers, which is much harder. Lovely to see Phil back where it all began for him too.
I remember watching television documentaries about the 60s, as a boy in the 1970s and 80s. The sole focus was on the clean sweeps of fusty, dusty, supposedly out of touch institutions, and the ushering in of fresh, new ideas. Something about it didn't sit right with me, and I was left wondering where my beloved, staunchly Catholic grandmother's culture and traditions were going to end up. I'm as contemptuous of this revolution now, as I was then, despite being raised in a household, that championed the myopic iconoclasts I saw on the screen.
Both the Cultural Marxists AND Global Capitalism wanted to sweep tradition away unfortunately. Capitalism has nothing to gain from tradition, traditional values, the traditional family unit (1 parent working) and strong borders.
We need to understand the role economics/ international finance has played in this.
@@evolassunglasses4673 but what is the alternative to Capitalism? Anything remotely Marxist will only increase the suicide rate of the indigenous working classes.
If i wanted to inform someone i knew about what's wrong with this country I would invite them to watch this series of videos first.
Another brilliant addition to this insightful series. Every episode should be required listening for students about to start university.
Thankyou for this. Fantastic content.
Isn’t it interesting that this obsession to rewrite history directly coincided with the scrapping of history as a compulsory subject. Back in the 50’s I remember learning about the Indian mutiny and I always knew whose side I was on.
I find your desire to rewrite history to present uk as a Christian white ethnostate is slightly more alarming and thus might have some thing to do with why you elected a compulsive pathological liar who's book about churchill is a massively poorly written attempt to recast churchill as some kind if folk hero when it's full of lies invention and and complete misreading of his history
@@jeremysmith8035 These are facts, of course, and not just your opinions?
@@Offshoreorganbuilder the fact are that Johnson has built his entire life out of lying to save his skin and telling people what they people what they want to hear,he's a chancer who used brexit for his own career and he now feels that he can get away with anything
@@richardshortall5987 It is actually. Astounding that you think otherwise.
@@jeremysmith8035 please understand, Globalisation destroyed the nation state democracy decades ago. It's a sideshow.
Slavery hasn’t existed in England since about 1080.
And it was the British who forced most of the world to abolish slavery.
Well done Phil.
criminally underviewed. very good doc
I'm secure in my history and take no notice of revisionists.
Our current dilemma has far more to do with Friedrich Hayek than Gramsci. The "left" have not taken over. The left in Britain effectively dissolved in the 1960s as it pursued neo-Marxist identitarian policies under the banner of the New Left. It followed this path because it couldn't resolve the heinous nature of the Soviet regime nor how to organise wages fairly. So it gave up. Just ask yourself, if the left are winning, why is the divide between rich and poor greater than it has ever been? The situation we are currently in is the logical outcome of the Neoliberal agenda enacted by the mainly Conservative political class in Britain over the last 40+ years. The rest is hot air.
Capitalism has actually been the bulwark for Liberalism and open borders Globalisation.
My ancestors were conquered and then oppressed by the Romans, and then later overrun by Germanic tribes from areas now known as Norway/Denmark/northern Germany/Netherlands.
Am I a victim, who is excused of all my own personal failings?
How is your life a failure
@@ashlibabbittcroakedit9108
It's not, but I was just wondering whether I would be absolved of any failures, because of the systematic oppression of my ancestors.

He was speaking rhetorically.
A fine well argued video Phil..
The woman discussing Equiano project, he was not a 'Slave' he was bought, or gifted to a sea captain, however the captain treated him as his son, and granted him freedom, so why this woman LIES, to make him seem better, is beyond reason.
It was Britain that went to war against slavery in 1808 that had the greatest effect on slavery. Prior to that all people were openly sold as slaves, not particularly black people. Africa was responsible for the most slavery of the time but they were just as happy to sell a slave of any colour. The ships were just ships not slave ships. The ships arrived in Dakar with wine etc. from Europe and Africa's main export was slaves so that was what was bought. This was simply trade and not racism. The ships did not want to cross the Atlantic empty as that is very dangerous. When Britain decided that this was wrong, they decided that the slave trade was wrong, nothing to do with the colour of the people. Britain is now criticised for destroying Benin but the King of Benin was a great power in the slave trade and faught to keep the slave trade alive as he was making millions from it. British history involves the ending of slavery whereas every country on this planet has slavery in its history.
Utterly brilliant! Thank you.
Wonderful!!! The NCF should replace the BBC!
It now seems that personal and historical trauma has been added to our understanding of history. It would only seem natural to want to erase/demonize/deminish the causes of such trauma but by doing so we lose the material we can learn from. The needed dialogue will be as painful as the original wounding but who should participate?.....delicate snowflakes or sterile academics? Neither seem to represent me.....the bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Fantastic. Loved it! Good to know I have a brother in the Lord, in Calvin:-) It was also a joy to hear the heart of a teacher as Phil advised us on the personal, private, steps we can each take. I'd love to share this with our church. Thank you.
I was disappointed with this. We all know what "the long march through the institutions" is about, but the video content was like a pond-skater insect - skimming over the surface from one place to next without presenting a clear logical thread. Calvin Robinson was easily the best and most erudite contributor. Furedi, unsurprisingly, gave a totally post-Marxist instrumental view of what the study of history 'is for'. The point that the woke are trying to either erase or rewite history isn't in dispute, nor is it a new phenomenon - this is what historiography is about. The "victor" or dominant elite in society get to write (or re-write) history, in order to prop up, maintain and extend their world-view. The issue is how does larger society reverse this growing takeover, or are we as helpless as those agrarian peasants when the elitist, middle-class Bolsheviks took power in Russia? Nor was there any context given that this wokeism is a global phenomenon, sourced from the insanity inside American universities and promoted by supra-national interests. The thing about war is that there are casualties but Dr. Kiszely didn't mention this - the people losing their jobs, the new cliques being created because no-one gets a job unless they conform to the new political orthodoxy, the fear culture and its effect on freedom of expression and social harmony. And the ending seemed to offer rather trite 'solutions' - engage in Burke's localism, church & family - and read history: all which I found rather patronising - and woefully inadequate in the face of the existential threat to our western liberal democracy.
Globalisation destroyed the nation state Liberal Democracy decades ago.
Bulkanization is probably the best chance to save some of our people and civilisation now.
Absolutely excellent!!!
Join Tommy and Anne Marie in Telford on Saturday 29th Jan. 👍👍
Excellent video. Well made and on the money. Well done.
This is like being married to someone who never lets you forget the mistakes (perceived or actual) you’ve made in the past. “It is better to live in a corner on the roof than inside the house with a quarreling spouse”. Proverbs 25:24
Accentuate the positives, not all the time, but the lack of strong, workable ideas on this channel speak volumes. Offer solutions and you may find that your ranks swell.
I was at Manchester in the late 1970s and saw the beginnings of the tendency. It is not a trend to alter history but to destroy it. Students, then, as many now, are interested not in the objects of their crusades but in power. Crudlely, boss instinct ran riot... but it was nicely justified bu expiation of assumed guilt. If we persist in judging history by today's 'values'- what shall become of it when change inevitably alters them? This is the arrogance of iconoclasts and those attempting to colonize history, even as they claim to be doing exactly the opposite. Such ideologues are not interested in humanity but in feeling good and condemning all who disagree in the slightest. It makes them feel good and special.
Intolerant and arrogant academics created a generation of students who follow the example set by many of their teachers.
These films are besutifully-made. A delight to watch. Congratulations to all who made them!
Excellent! Thank you for producing this.
Very well produced film.
Fantastic report, thank you very much.
What an excellent programme! When I experience this type of video it gives me hope for the future
Every one of those "protestors throwing the statue unto the river should have been thrown in after it. Let the punishment fit the crime.
It seems to me the discussion regarding history occurs against a backdrop of assumed multiculturalism (all cultural behaviours have equal merit) - rather than cultural pluralism. Hence a decolonising, cynical, ethic can occur in which dominant Western narratives are relegated in prominence and marginalised narratives promoted and placed alongside the Western narratives so as to achieve an ontological and epistemic equality - that is, all have equal ontological and epistemic merit.
I think this ethic can be found in postcolonial theory's decolonisation program.
So decolonisation can weaponise the past by using restropective bigotteering/moral presentism - analysing the past using today's ethical norms from postcolonial 'theory' and hence attribute a negative moral valence to aspects of the past.
I found Frank Furedi's comments excellent in this regard.
So interesting and so dreadful that you were beaten up…..the background music was unfortunate but thanks for a great programme.
The heresies series is the best thing on you tube
I'd love see a film length overview
