Given recent events in the Middle East, in which Woke Marxists throughout the world have indicated their total alignment with Palestine against Israel even in light of atrocities, the idea of "decolonization" is back in the center stage. Academics and activists across the West are not only celebratory of the violence in Israel; they are also mocking the general public for failing to realize that "decolonization" is intrinsically a violent, brutal process. What's going on here? Where do these ideas come from? The answer is that these ideas come from a postcolonialist named Frantz Fanon, who wrote his radical and troubling books in the 1950s and 1960s. These have become the academic gold standard for generations of radicals ever since. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reads through French Marxist Jean-Paul Sartre's famous summary of Fanon's Wretched of the Earth and shows that decolonization is little more than a Gnostic rebirth ritual perpetrated through murder. Join him to understand this reaction as well as the so-called "strange death of Europe" and what we have in store as the postcolonial aspect of Woke Marxism fully awakens.

He was like most of them: ugly.
The 20th century existentialists are an odd lot. They have excellent, insightful things to say about how language works and dealing with modern nihilism, but then they turn around and support the most radical forms of neo-Marxism.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a left leaning friend of mine the other week. He was worried about right wing "dog whistle" rhetoric from local Republicans. I noted that each of the quotes he was worried about required extra steps on his thinking to make them a problem. Whereas the explict things that Democrats currently advocate for and implement are on their face terrible. There is a certain blindness that exists among people who are so caught up in the appearance of compassion that it makes it difficult for them to recognize horrendous ideas so long as they are presented in a clinical academic way or with a soft and pleasant speaking tone.
Evil often presents itself as compassion or niceness right up until the gates close and the shooting starts
Yes. While it is common to say Hitler operated only from Hate, he would have claimed he did everything he did because he loved Germany.
When one wonders how someone might rationalize to themselves a horror like putting a bomb on their child to kill jewish people, 'love' and ideas like creating 'living space' for the collective in-group are central. Some might say they love the out-group so much they'll permit terror, open borders, no rule of law. But that's not love. As it tokenizes others to exploit them for a feeling of personal moral worth. The more suicidal the policies are, the greater the perceived value. And usually this is done by people who will not suffer themselves and have no concern for the suffering it'll create in others.
It's always funny how the only people who seem to be able to hear the racist "dog whistles" supposedly coming from voices on the right are the people on the left accusing them of doing it.

Every single universities in the Western World, especially the english world, have been captured by this genocidal ideology. And they're exporting this to other countries. Just wonder, what's your friend's major?
My teachers were pretty good minus a couple. Sad to see it's going sideways.

@backintimealwyn5736 He probably doesn't realize that his family and himself are going to be the victims of his leftist rhetoric and ideology.
In Israel, a lot of people got red pilled the hard way.
A lot MORE people need to get Red Pilled on the fact that every aspect of Mass Migration in the West are Jewish. Funding, the ships, the NGOs, ect.
Gonna be honest, at the very least outside of Israel I doubt any large number of people have been "red pilled" or convinced of any new imperative despite the very obvious contradictions in display. And in Israel even the outrage is simply programming by Tel Aviv.
Rather they just recieved new programming that just so happens to look like "red pilling" but they also must still hold on to the old programming too.
"Muslims bad because jews now dead", BUT STILL "we need to take in as many refugees as possible". And it's looking like the next batches will be Palestinian...
Yep. I saw Jonathan Grenblatt raising right wing talking points on Fox today and found it amusing.
8:42 its almost strange how blatantly satanistic this is. Not in the modern "oh im an edgy atheist and I call myself a satanist to make religious people angry" way, but in the genuine, following to the teachings and character of the devil.
It's anti-Christ in nature. Anti-Christ movements are ones that look like they have innocent or even healthy intentions but then turn into this. Leftists think they're the compassionate side is what I mean: on the surface they think they're the good guys but then their real intention is satanic. Charismatic Protestants talk like they're people of God on the outside but they're really all about indulging in spiritual sensuality and emotional pleasures rather than giving up the world. The Devil uses really convincing, sweet sounding tricks to lead people astray.
the temple satanists you're talking about don't claim that, to be edgy, or make religious people angry....
they claim it (as athiests) so they can use religious freedom laws that favor christianity, to defend first amendment protections and other freedoms legally. it's a legal crowbar that, if used well, can be a great tool for maintaining a healthy plural republic.
I was all for them, as a libertarian, until they jumped the shark and went all in on the vaxx...which i was sure they would fight for a religious exemption to (but they didn't)😪
that said: i agree with you on the rest, look at the rituals at CERN or the statue on top of the NY courthouse...thats a totally different thing. they are true believers.
Absolutely, like James I am an atheist but understand the deep roots of Christianity very well having studied theology at a non woke university and I have come to realize that Satan is real when human beings allow the character of Satan to characterize their thoughts and actions. It's the reason why I was never tempted into Satanism, you give things real power when you embody them, even ironically.
Sartre: We are our choices.
Also Sartre: We choose to encourage murder.
Mao's useful idiots
Dude, what the hell. Lindsay is talking about ritual murder, and violence as a means of self perfection. As well as violence, justified by communist identity politics. If calling that bad is "hand wringing" I don't know what to say. At the very least, self perfection should be not be a reason to engage in violence, that is just insane.
Violence is a last resort when things go really wrong, and is certainly, not, justified in the name of communism, or Dugan style "Traditionalism" or "Christian nationalism." Only in defense of life, or liberty, when it won't obviously do more harm than good, should violence be considered at all, to be justifiable.
@GeneralPotatoSalad He is just one of the reasons why I'm highly skeptical with Jewish intellectuals. They tend to be subversive politically and pathological with sexual categories, orientation. No wonder that they have always been at the front for totalitarian systems like communism. The sexual deviance and trans ideology also originates from the Frankfurt school, like Fraud, Eric Fromm, Kinsey etc. Beauvoir only strives on them, Lindsay could have been a bit specific on this.
@@alanjackson1568you're right, but things ARE really bad right now, and self defense is NOT only for the individual, self defense can also exist, for someone's community, city, country, race etc, and should be proportionally protected(the violence neccesary to eliminate the threat and nothing beyond that, because unlike the left, we should be morally superior men of character, who protect what is our duty to protect but not indulge in ritualistic psychotic revenge violence).
We had decolonisation decades ago. They usually took the form of independence ceremonies, or in the case of Hong Kong and Macau, handover ceremonies. All we hear about on the news today is post independence barbarism in new nations turned failed states.
Remember how big the protests in Hongkong were ? Then Covid just suddenly appeared and they had to face complete and utter tyranny ?
China clearly released Covid as a tool to implement dictatorship in their own country and everywhere else.
These states are also covertly manipulated by Western nations to get the political outcome they want. Countless Western supported coups and civil wars. Financial control.
The argument is that what you are talking about was only formal/legal decolonisation.
They are hung up on the idea that even though they are not formally under empire, they are still spiritually embedded within a colonial paradigm, and the decolonisation yet to be done is about breaking out of that.
It makes sense (if you are the right kind of insane): we got rid of the colonizer yet we are doing worse than before -> it's because we have ourselves become colonialists and slaves to colonialism. The proposed sollution is that we turn ourselves into something entirely new, and Fanon seems to think that this transformation may be achieved by literally becoming a murderer.
Why not return to what we were before the colonizer showed up? Because what we were has already lost to the colonizer, returning to that state just invites a repeat visit from the colonizer. We need to become something new, something better, not just than the tribal self left behind, but better than even the colonizer.
@@cobusvanderlinde6871One of the most interesting post-colonial stories I've seen is, weirdly enough, the first graphic novel follow up to Avatar: the Last Airbender because of how well it understands that there really isn't any way to undo history.
Basically, a piece of territory that had been taken from the Earth Kingdom by the Fire Nation 100 years prior had developed a hybrid culture which advantaged people of Fire Nation heritage but was still sufficiently distinct that people of Earth Kingdom heritage no longer considered themselves part of the Earth Kingdom.
The young reformer in charge of the FN decides to decolonize by handing all conquered territory back to the EK only to find himself subject to an assassination attempt by the half EK daughter of the colonial governor.
After realizing that no one in the colony actually wants to be part of the EK, he comes to the conclusion that giving the colony back would mean ignoring what the people in the colony actually want and suspends the hand-over. Which then nearly leads to war, until a compromise is worked out where the colony is granted autonomy and is recognized as the unique cultural entity that it had become.
The author, appropriately enough, was from Hong Kong.
What a weird coincidence that all of the decolonized states in Asia are mostly successful and almost every single decolonized state in Africa is a literal dumpster fire.
I have a friend who is involved in the decolonisation of institutions. She is the sweetest, most pacifist person I know. I am quite sure she has absolutely no idea what she has got herself involved with. It breaks my heart.
My cousin is like that, but is now so far into the cult that she is hardly tolerable at family Christmas. I really hope she snaps out of it because I like who she is underneath the ugly ideology.

I see very strong similarities with what you are saying to what is happening in Australia right now. We have a constitutional referendum (this Saturday), in which they are trying to install what could easily be described as a race based Soviet, a fourth branch of government that would sit above the elected parliament and provide "advice". This is called "The Voice" and proposes that aboriginal Australians (the exact definition of that is unclear and subject to some plasticity, but that's a whole other can of worms) would be given special powers above all other Australians.
The rhetoric of the small group of activists, some of whom are open Marxists or Communists, who are pushing this is deeply rooted in post colonial theory. They want to take everything, literally everything, from non-aboriginal people in Australia.
From the polling, it is looking like this proposal will be voted down with somewhere around a 66/33 No to Yes ratio. However, I fully expect to see a strong retaliation from the activists, possibly including violence. To be clear, there is very little political violence from normal aboriginal people (other forms of violence are a different story sadly), but there is a small core of largely Marxist activists who are very dangerous and who hide behind the shield of calling anyone who criticizes them a racist.
Sounds like every other movement that is trying to agitate everywhere all at once. Be strong Australia.
As a fellow Aussie I totally agree with your assessment. I still harbour fears that in spite of polling and the apparent general disposition of the nation, somehow ( through dishonesty and corruption ) this referendum will succeed.
As you say - everything Lindsay is describing here is EXACTLY what is occurring in Australia. Striking how strong the corellation between ‘Yes’ campaigners and Marxism is - although James explains that perfectly here.

A "colonizer" appears to be any unbeliever anywhere who refuses to pay jizya and submit to the sovereignty of "divine law" as exercised through the "amir of the believers" (or caliph).
It’s annoying that they always try to turn lizard brain ideas into poetry.
When evil shows it’s face that’s when it’s both strongest and weakest. Strong because it’ll do absolutely anything to consolidate power. Weak because it’s finally been exposed.
Thank you for this lecture. Many people do not understand what does decolonisation mean.

The ideology of "decolonisation" do not mean "giving former colonies independence, far from it.

All of this havoc is important.
If not us, it will be our children and grand children facing this challenge.
Instead, let it be us who rises to the challenge.
If Western Philosophy can't circle the wagons, and find the will to resist this attack, it does not deserve to exist.
Resilience is required, and we will either meet the challenge, or a better philosophy will emerge
Or a worse philosophy will envelope our society for a generation or two, trapping it in a self destructive and insane downward spiral of Communism until it inevitably collapses in on itself after untold levels of human suffering have been imposed on the population. 'Cause y'know...history has shown us time and again that just because a new philosophy has taken hold doesn't necessarily mean that it is by any means 'better' than that which it supplanted. You could likely trace this cycle further back than the fall of Babylon if we could find written record of it.
Better? Surely that would not be what is killing it.
"Better" only in that it survives whereas we die.
The materials of Western Philosophy will die but the idea won't. Whether we like it or not, the quicker we shed the material on our own terms the better. All the simpleton hordes see and can be directed towards is the physical, they can't be taught to understand the idea as such a small percentage will understand it and a further smaller percentage will in turn hate it or teach others to hate it - so there really is not point in investing in this. Clearly "they" don't and for good reason. Once the "immigrants" or "oppressed" understand that Western ideals are really the best shot the everyman has at a dignified existence.
Shed the physical, leave the cities and get off the exposed and failing grid asap. Establish smaller outpost communities now or join one. This whole experiment needs to be completed in their minds and when it is, everything will be collapsed like a blackhole sucking everything back into it.
Well said. We are surrounded by cowardice everywhere, myself included until recently. Time to stand
Here's my issue. The only way to stop this is for both sides to want peace or for one side to be eliminated. They have created a situation where the peaceful path is now impossible.
All the more reason for native residents to stock up on pork and pork byproducts. Save the grease.
If zionists return land to those who were in the area before them, no one needs to die.
Beyond that, the real issue is zionists have a religious zealotry whose "end of history" has a prophecy of them ruling the world from Israel. Realize they are the driving force behind most modern wars, boshevism, BLM, and all the other things this channel rails against, which are the tools they use.
There can be no peace with people who prioritise child abuse in their agenda. These people can’t be met half way. It’s all or nothing now.
Nothing has changed . Every few years this happens
The peaceful path was never possible because one side has always demanded the death of every man, woman & child who doesn’t submit to the mad whims of a prolific ancient pdf file.
Fun fact: from the 1974 Palestinian Liberation Organization 'Ten Point Program', article 9 states:
9. The Liberation Organization will strive to strengthen its solidarity with the socialist countries, and with the forces of liberation and progress throughout the world, with the aim of frustrating all the schemes of Zionism, reaction and imperialism.
Way before we noticed the woke, they knew exactly who "progressives" and their "liberation" cultists will stand with when they carry out terror attacks against civilians (which they continued doing under Arafat well after the Oslo Accords).
Sounds like Sartre was Charles Manson’s go to guy.

It's a little different in Fascism, because of the nationalism; afaik they believed the nation, all classes, should rise up in struggle against the decadent part of itself. Sorel himself was maybe more nationalistic than these decolonisation guys.
@courtilz1012 True, though I'd say revolting to overthrow the foreigners in control of your country is an inherently nationalistic act, whether Sartre would have acknowledged that or not.
That isn't even the objectionable part, though. Armed revolutions can be justified, and ending out-of-touch foreign rule is a pretty good one. The objectionable part is classifying a form of killing as an absolute moral good (the difference being political vs racial motivation). And that's the common thread there.
Keep up the great work James. More people need to hear this stuff.
Historically its been eager cooperation to trade for better or unavailable goods and services. Most of the World was still in the stone age, or nearly so before colonization. How about surgery, and antibiotics among a myriad of other things
Theyll probably say they're Probably racist or (insert grievance here) ect ect... not that they're the product of the renneissance and the enlightenment and our increased understanding of how the world works.

What is happening in Australia?
@@Miguel23gt ruclips.net/video/_Yu0YixPFiw/видео.html
@@Miguel23gt On contact with the Australian continent initially, we had a native population of varying degrees of organised Hunter gatherer societies, they are ethnically related to Melanesian people. Over 500 hundred language groups are recognised today.
Indigenous Australians is the most used term today. This group has serious lifestyle issues which are a direct result of them coming into contact with developed products like alcohol and gambling and the historical trauma expirienced as a result of some historic injustice, that's undeniable, but today the biggest problem is the cycle of substance and domestic abuse expirienced by young Indigenous Australians, and the poverty expiried by communities in undeveloped rural areas.
There is a class of politicians and activists who make their living on championing Indigenous issues. many of them are (partly) indigenous, and the Australian parliament has a higher indigenous population than Australia.
The voice is a political movement to get an advisory committee made up of indigenous representatives. On Oct 14, this sat, we'll vote as a nation on whether to enshrine it, the voice, in our constitution.
The yes vote campaign is mostly made up of the previously mentioned indigenous issue interest groups. On multiple ocations, culturally informed representation and bureaucracy has been tried to tackle indigenous issues, each failure of the last appears to be used as justification for the next. The voice represents the most recent attempt at using culturally informed representation and bureaucracy.
On it's own that is enough to doubt the voice. But instead this has turned into a situation where every opposition to the voice is met with accusations of racism. Many yes voters seem to have decided the vote is to end ingenous disadvantage, they've convinced themselves that the voice equals this sentiment.
But the voice is just more government and it will cost us billions, if not trillions over its lifetime, should it get in and we need to get it out in the future. The indigenous issues interest groups will keep it locked in legal proceedings for decades.
The only group pushing back in Australia is the NSN. Tom Sewell will show you the way.
These type of people never actually make contact with reality do they? Like they never feel the consequences of their own ideology.
You can run from reality but you can't run from the consequences running from reality forever.
They lack the critical thinking to understand the consequences are a result. They feel them, just don't understand why their ideas aren't providing the results they thought. Getting people to understand their compassion has been weaponized is next to impossible in my experience.
One thing this misses is that Marxism is ultimately for the Inner Party oligarchs not the Outer Party proles; the ultimate beneficiaries are insulated from ideological consistency across this barrier. The oppressor/oppressed binary is meant to serve the Hegelian “Masters”, who remain immune to the dialectic.
In other words, the Outer Party believes that it is ideologically consistent to align with decolonization and the “marginalized” (hence they align with Hamas), but they still ultimately will comply with the Inner Party, which insulates Israel from consistency because it is the home to many of its oligarchs. This is why, for instance, “the Squad” will support Palestine in theory but ultimately vote in favor of Israel (e.g., see AOC crying about Israel funding but still doing it, see Omar apologizing in a struggle session in February 2023). The Marxist slave society “liberates” the slave only where it does not interrupt the oligarch’s power. The Western leftists who support Palestine have not realized that they need to adopt doublethink and reprioritize their angst more specifically against Western colonizers (i.e., against themselves and the West) while ignoring the actions of the Hegelian “Masters”.
And we will see this play out. The DNC will eventually vote for whatever wars Israel wants, and the UN will contradict itself also to serve these ends.
Outer party, inner party...nothing but circles within circles. Those in the farthest ring are the useful idiots used as cannon fodder for the innermost circle.
I'll always send with israel.... as I have since the 2000s.. and they'll have to kill me cos I'm not changing my mind. Israel has more in common with the west than hamas does with its brutal Islamic religion which is incompatable with western civilization but has more in common with marxism, fascism and nazism. Also...marx was originally German I think and classical people didn't consider Germany as part of the west, I can be more accurately described as central Europe... which May explain why so many anti Western philosophies came from Germany, because they're not western..They're FOREIGN ideologies and philosophies.
It's amazing you're quoting satre. When I studied him in my philosophy class they never mentioned he was socialist.
Theres only two reasons.. A: Probs cos they don't want people to know or B: james is incorrect somehow (and I need to do some research into this to see for myself) and he's not.
But I've somehow got a feeling he is but even if he's not he's probably got socialist leaning sympathies
I am starting to love using "decolonizing" as an ironic punchline.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
So...did Israel do any of this before - or after - Hamas attacked them? Because if they did it in response to Hamas levying an assault on them, it's entirely disingenuous to pretend that Hamas bears no responsibility. There is no world in which Palestine is free to attack Israel, and Israel should be forced to just sit there and take it. Even if there is a disparity of force, if one man strikes another the man that was struck is entirely within his rights to retaliate. That's basic natural law. You poke a bear with a stick, you find out the bear has fangs and claws and will not put up with your nonsense. A small country picks a fight with a larger country - it costs them dearly.
The misery experienced by the innocent is justified by these mental gymnasts along with the suffering caused by other blockades and sanctions as blood offerings to their true God Mammon
Difference? Israel itself sees it as "violence" and is pained by it, while Hamas cheers and provokes it with celebration shouts, "God is Great". Very different. Israel warns to evacuate, even has a small bomb that shakes a building as a secondary warning before leveling it. Again, very different. Hamas is proud, Israel is sad and some very ashamed. Your choice.

The decision to make Islamisation of the country the rhetoric of decolonization, and to have might make right, would return to haunt the country during the Civil War in the 90s.
Absolutely
Is Hamas ideologically Marxist?
Hamas is anti-Jewish and Marxists hate Jews.
It’s less about Hamas themselves and more about he rhetoric in the west from so-called academics.
Nope they are ideologically Islamicist.
Who actually created Hamas? My guess would be the Anglo-American establishment.

Military tactics against the West work well because 9f the Golden Rule. Prior to any invasion by military the future battlefield must be shaped. This goes back to Sun-Tzu and has been used by every invading group. The Russians caused Holodomor to force the movement of refugees, poor, old, sick and in their ranks embed military. They wound up taking all of the nations that later became Soviet bloc states but the main thrust was to cause the collapse of Germany because 9f its engineering capabilities. In all historical wars there is a period, usually long, when the 4 point Yuri Bezmenov, ideological warfare ramps up. Demoralize---- You're facing millions of poor people invading your country like locusts. If you harm them you will be Hitler but if you don't you will be overrun. You don't see millions of people overrunning Islamic countries because they have closed cultures. Our enemies will win w/ out firing a shot because they now own the USA thanks to $$$$TRILLIONS of debt. On the Yuri list we are already in NORMALIZATION. People are getting sterilized while being convinced they're getting a sex change, that's DEMORALIZATION. Muslims can read and watch Yuri Bezmenov videos too and say, "So, this is what they were doing to us, let's do it to them!"
Actually, I've learned to avoid having fugazzi and beer together.
The violence (of decolonization) is a feature of asymmetrical warfare, of which terrorism is purportedly an action of last resort. Israel's response in Gaza to Oct 7: 5k civilians + 13 Hamas dead (allegedly).
Are the decolonization refers to people liberating also from capitalism
@@jirehla-ab1671 well they're definitely linked, but I myself wouldn't characterize like that.

The problem is dictatorship is the only answer to the racism problem. Unfortunately, it is not possible in countries like USA or Australia, which have very dark histories of racial oppression and will be the status quo for generatiins if the Opressed dont GRAB their Liberty back. And the current disposition has been skewed to one side for years which also controls the narrative. Even the smallest gains for the oppressed are so likely to be denied by the Imperial & neo-liberal despots and thats why the global position is by default skewed against expropriation without compensation in South Africa despite the majority of South Africans not benefitting from land taken from them and atrocities during apartheid or invasion. Not only did the value of natural resources stolen not get compensated by Britain to South Africa, or in Australia to their indigenous people let alone for the dire consequences including cultural disconnection , the same proceeds were also used to benefit of NATO and the E.U. The same axis that supports Israel but invaded Africa since 1700s and that unconscionably shipped Africans wholescale, is now quite happy to get Coltan from Congolese Children who dont go to school for their Iphones. I think its just repulsive to live in such delusion and for such people and their high falutin who put value in phoney accents, yapping bucketloads of hogwash at a mile a minute all the time to be the moral police. The majority of Westerners dont have an inkling of the reality that people suffer daily to enable their comfort. One day sooner or later they will sober up and it will be equalized in life or in death.
Does that mean decolonize France... from MENA people. Birmingham? Luton? London? etc.?
Thank you
Will they be giving back to hospitals, schools, infrastructure,... And capital?? 🤣😭.... And surely we can stop sending them "more"😭😭
We should never, ever have allowed these people to survive once they started espousing these ideas.

As an indigenous English man it's curious this only works for people without liberal tolerant ideals.
The UK is being colonised by an uncontrolled flood of migrants not seen since the Romans withdrew in 440AD.
But we are not allowed to rediscover our lost innocence or boil over with rage. We are required to sit back and watch.
Why? Find a way! My grandfather fought in the RAF. Unfortunately, we're no longer sure he was fighting the right enemy...
Someone mentioned Charles Manson.... Ive gotta throw Jim Jones in here too. Hope Lindsay covers Jim Jones as I'm willing to bet he was influenced by this as well.
Why not address the root cause, the folks who can be found at the bottom of every rabbit hole. The group that created communism, the group behind the russian revolution ( they weren't russians ), the group behind the civil rights movement.
Rockwell's short animation with the ducks illustrates our current situation.
@@boys-ie5tt that's not an argument and your labels are useless. Try again...
Well, lets put it this way: due to the development of roads involved in colonizing, and industries; one major recipient of benefits of colonization *is the colonized*; as the end result is buildup; otherwise the occupation is totally unfeasible and unsustainable at best... no state that has the competency to annex another area is that inept.
I think this a loop sided and biased view of Decolonisation. Decoloniality, in simple terms can be seen as the "how" of decolonisation. In words of Walter Mignolo, who is the key theorist in this area, Decoloniality is "an epistemic disobedience, de-linking and reconstruction" via "recognition and Implementation of subaltern reason, eliminating the universality of western thinking". Reducing the whole discourse into notion of "violence" and aligning it with the issue of "Pelystyne" and "Ezraile", is again an exclusionary and of course Eurocentric approach.
Everyone has colonized.👎
"the nation marches forward" this isn't that far off from Fascist philosophy. Like, at all. Read some Gentilé and some Mussolini, this is pretty much their take
The opening guitar chords sounds a little like, Season of the witch by Donovan

So the second largest place on earth that speaks Russian isn't Tel Aviv? Weird...
All the countries in Europe would be justified in following Fanon then since they are the natives of their countries, which these fools seem to overlook.
One would wonder why people read crazy stuff like Fanon’s and follow it unless they practice witchcraft.
I have no idea what I just heard.
I'm an atheist so all the labeling of calling everything gnosticism is stupid from my point of view. I think you could describe these things without going into all the pseudo-religious nonsense.
Sometimes, the impression a people have that they’re oppressed isn’t just a figment of woke leftist intellectual subterfuge, but a brute reality. I respect your work generally, but it’s important to make a distinction between artificially generated and actual victimhood. When it comes to the trans or blm movement, you go way back to Hegel (who never imagined what his work would lead to) and meticulously detail the evolution of ideas from there to what is happening in western society today. When it comes to the Palestinian issue, which began over a century ago with the Balfour declaration, or earlier with Herzl and the invention of romantic nationalist Jewish Zionism in the 1890s, or before that with dispensationalist Christian Zionism by Darby in the 1830’s, or earlier antisemitism in Europe… you seem to be deliberately blinded to the historical and philosophical roots of this issue. Why is that?
Ya know what Ive noticed in these books he quotes from, are the use of the words MAN,WOMEN,HE,and SHE. So there ya go in this new world the lgbtquebsksnebd doesn’t exist

Does this loop end?
I would like to hear your thoughts on the conflict itself rather than just the woke interpretation. The palestinians are not woke, and do not do the things they do for ritualistic reasons, any more than anything can have ritualistic effects. Also, palestine is an apartide state and not just a colony, though i can see how marxists would conflate the two.
Why is it always back to Marx. Insane. And they try to deny is so hard 😂
😮😮😮
You should have your personal property stolen. See how you feel after that.
Totally psychotic.
USA decolonized from England. But I guess that’s acceptable violence.
And I guess colonization is peace? This channel should be named New Speaks instead, lol.
Sartre had fully knew what he was doing. He was a classical marxist and accelerationist. He wanted more bloodshed because it would accelerate dialectics towards end of history. Its insane but there's sinister logic in his thought.
Sartre sucks
One thing I didn't like about Black Lagoon
I say we should be indifferent to the whole situation. In a way it does not really involve us but we are being placed in a precarious situation where we must "speak up." And anything we say will be used as rhetoric against us. Simply being against unethical acts should be enough. But (as we know) there is counter-rhetoric against anything we say and do for the sake of "the cause " I choose not to join the game.
