did you know that there are 3 white people who 'support' BLM for every black person?

this makes it a white movement.

also rich black people only support BLM to virtue signal

also young whites only support BLM because of progressive propaganda

Surprised nobody posted this yet.

Shaun takes on the infamous Molyneux once more and addresses a video I've wanted to see someone tackle for some time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_nVCWPgiA

This is something I've never studied too in-depth. One thing Shaun brings up that I was clueless about was how disease spread through the natives. I always vaguely heard it describes as white guys came, close proximity with the vulnerable natives got them infected, etc.. Shaun states that this isn't the case and a lot of deaths weren't the result of initial exposure but happened later when the native population were so weakened from colonization that this is what caused epidemics.

And he ends with a beautiful quote:
Shaun: (summing up the idea of White Guilt which of course Molyneux believes in) "White people hate themselves and are are so guilty about the sins of the past that they're ignoring reality and deluding themselves in the present. And, well, it's not true. [...] Reading the history of what happened to the Native Americans I was often outraged, sometimes disgusted, but I never felt personally guilty, just saddened by what people can do to one another. Acknowledging events from the past in which white people have been in the wrong isn't driven by guilt, just honesty. Understanding is not guilt. Hiding from the historical record, cherrypicking from it, whitewashing it to erase atrocities committed - well, that is REAL guilt in action right there."

A great, informative video as always, although I kind of wish I heeded his warning about learning of the details of Sand Creek.

I just watched this Shaun video independently. It's a part of US history that I didn't know a whole lot about, and honestly hearing anyone, even a nutty cult leader like Molyneux try to make apologism for what was done to these people is infuriating. And it doubly bad, given that Stephen is Canadian and Canada's horrible mistreatment of natives was still ongoing within his adult life. So it really comes across more as a justification of what his society has done contemporaneously instead of ancient history. Note this isn't to absolve us Americans of what we've done recently to natives, but force boarding schools and otherwise shackling people to reservations seems a bit worse than what the US has done in recent decades.

Virgin soil epidemics are a real thing, of course, & a lot of those deaths really are just unavoidable accidents of history. But a lot were also down to the actions of the colonisers preventing re-population & helping diseases to spread through internment & removals & so on.

It's a part of the history people like Stefan leave out when they're making excuses.

Same with the US. But at least natives aren't bound to reservations anymore, which they were in Canada until the 1970s IIRC. It's poo poo that we've provided such poor spaces and conditions for people on reservations, but it becomes something completely different when the ghettoization is forced.

Does Molyneux really believe that "gene expression" means that whatever happens to people doesn't matter as long as some genes are still around? That is one of the more monstrous ideas I've ever heard.

It sort of follows with the whole idea that race is a real biological construct that a lot of the right bandies about, but yeah it's got some horrible end results. It's also part of that stupid idea people have that it's cool as long as your genetics get to continue on, which shits on kids needing adoption pretty hard.

Lipstick Apathy
To make this as explicit as possible: Molyneux is nakedly a white supremacist. He sees everything in terms of conflicts between cultures/gene pools, and this white guy is very much rooting for his home team. His lies about history are all a smokescreen to hide his real view, which is that anything is justified if it furthers the interests of the white race as he understands it.

Look, I just think someone should state the obvious.

Virgin soil epidemics likely killed off the majority of native peoples in the Americas, but the Spanish were happily massacring even before smallpox and other European diseases had taken hold.
