Ran into some major tech issues with this video, but really needed to get it out there. Normally I don't ask, but please share and donate to the fundraiser. Thanks, friends. 💙
Already shared... there's too many I'm trying to break through to.... I live in an area, where most people are still voting for trump...and all the hateful and bigoted ideology that goes along with him.
Eta... forgot to mention how good this content is. And has the potential to actually break through to some.
It's disheartening to see so many people deny what is happening. I'm sure there will be lots of them in this comment section as well in due time.
The generations to come will judge them
@@tylersouza or the government will do what the US did about its own genocide and nothing will happen.
Crt? More like

@@tylersouza nope. They’re being judged NOW.
One of my greatest frustrations is when actions like war, oppression, systemic violence etc are treated as just scaled up versions of 'hatered' or 'human nature' or 'anger'. Because they aren't.
One of the chilling things about systemic violence is that it's so often contingent on the suppression of individual emotions and the building of vast machines of depersonalisation, dehumanisation and automation, not just of the people being violated, but of the rank-and-file people doing the violating, all in aid of a couple of individuals or groups at the top who get to use the whole system as a massive railgun for their own desires.
It's kind of sickening that I've seen even quite incisive, critical people that I know talk about things like war and racism as if they were problems of emotional disregulation or 'natural' outgrowths of 'I don't like x person' and miss the whole machinery and apparatus manufacturing consent for things like statehood and state violence and in doing so hiding strata after strata of entrenched violence and dispossession.
This was a really good, challenging video. Thank you for this one.
What a great comment^
That was well written.
Such a powerful and articulate video! It helped me in my understanding hearing it all broken down like this! The downfall of neocolonialism and oppressive systems is the beginning of uplifting human life! Free Sudan, the Congo, Palestine, West Papua, everyone enchained! ✊🏾
Until all chains are broken, all are in shackles. ✊
It's absolutely awful whats happening in the world, but unfortunately I cant speak out publicly or do anything to cause any meaningful changes. I still live with my bigoted parents and I can't come out of the closet for fear of my own safety. I feel terrible idly watching these atrocities happen and not being able to do anything about it. As soon as I'm capable of moving out I'm definitely going to become a very outspoken activist, I can't keep sitting back and doing nothing while people's rights and lives are being taken everyday.
Keeping ourselves safe is an important part of being able to help others. I’m so sorry you’re stuck in that position right now. ❤️
Try to radicalize them to Marxism
Can you vote yet? Because mountains would move just to get that vote to sway one way, or another.
That sounds awful, I'm so sorry you're stuck RN.
Be safe sweetie, self-preservation first okay!
A couple things for everyone:
1. Nakba is an historical--I don't know if I'll get censored by TH-cam or not, so--"campaign of extermination targeting a specific ethnicity" against Palestinians.
2. Amalek refers to the biblical enemies of Israel. Just like, as a general concept.
Nakba and Shoah (Jewish word for the Holocaust) have the same translation in English.
Calling out and acknowledging the bad is the TRUTH, not self-hate or any other dumb things.
Wanting the world to be better doesn't mean i have self hate. Denying the bad and the bad is weak.
I, too, am flammably european-descended, but mine came in the 60s, so our household was super tied to their home culture. Growing up in an immigrant-culture household in the semi-hostile culture of quebec, and the cheery, sanitized anglo culture of canada, the focus was all on culture and not race, so i never even thought of myself as white. and then i started hearing people being proud of being white, and that made no sense to me, because how can you be proud of something you had nothing to do with, and they all seemed to be assholes, so i definitely didn't identify with them. it wasn't until i got much older that i understood how other people are racialized and that my "not feeling white" was a luxury. I still don't have any fellow-feeling for other white people in particular, but i keep reminding myself that it's complicated, to understate it ridiculously.
The whole talk is great! Thanks so much for your hard work!
Being "white" to that extent, is a very American thing...europe has much more "subdiscriminations" the white of a german isn't the same as the white of a polish person ;)
Innuendo studios has a great video about the power of something (for example race) being the "norm"
The cost of doing business.
You are still a settler (Indigenous person you are colonizing in so called canada). Coming here in the 60’s was still a choice to come be a colonizer
absolutely! no argument from me. my family had a hard life elsewhere and came to take advantage of the life here. it's a reason, but not an excuse. what we have benefitted from was taken from others.
Thank you for this. I have been trying to fight for an end to the slaughter in Palestine since October, but it is disheartening and exhausting and this video spoke to me as I have noticed myself starting to disengage more. That is not an option. No one is free until all of us are free.
I'm Kenyan and trans. I don't usually see white westerners talk about colonialism/systemic oppression due to their constantly upheld reactionary positions and (willful?)ignorance. But this video is pretty good, mostly for westerners I believe. I think it's neat you're openly talking about such, with media being openly biased against BIPOC people and downright enabling genocide in Palestine by platforming blatant Zionists, you're doing a pretty good job at educating them. Not much else for me to add because, not that relevant in regards to this video as they're entirely complex topics on their own e.g DRC, Sudan, neocolonialism etc. And From the rive to the sea, Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸
Amazing video. "No one of us can be free until everybody is free."
Solidarity, Finn. Great work xx
Cobalt is also used in professional paints such as "cobalt blue". Thanks for bringing attention to these issues. I would implore you all to look into Solarpunk theory that explores these topics a little further. Many blessings to you all.
Honestly, the phrase: "they didn't know better", or "this was normal!" Is not a reassuring one to me, but a terrible one.
Because it is true, most people who benefitted from it were willing to accept it as normal.
Would we have? Do we today? Should be the logical next questions that follow, and if you look away today, you would have looked away back than!
Speaking out about this is so important. #FreePalestine ❤🍉
From the river to the sea!
And from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the mafia has to go.
A lot of people I know are able to ackowledge all of this, but then stay there and never transition to real action. Every friend I talk to agrees and is angry and wants the oppression/genocide/harm to stop ect ect... But it's all words and feeling and no praxis.
I've been involved in activist movements (climate, refugee-rights, palestine) for the last few years - getting past the point of thinking and feeling to DOING is hard, but once you do it once you can develop it like muscle memory. I'm still learning how to balance this work with staying healthy, and I haven't always succeeded. I've genuinely needed to turn away at times to breath. But even when I take breaks from active organising I have still set up my life in the best ways I have found to live in reflectance with my convictions (within the constraints of my enviroment): not buying fast fashion, second-hand technology when you need to buy it, I buy food that is ethically certified, I don't fly, I'm a vegan, I donate regularly, I'm divested from inethical banks, I boycott companies. If I can afford it (which I know not everyone can) then I do.
It hurts so so badly to then be sat, often exhausted, and listen to friends and family of similar economic position and time constraints talk about... new cars, new phones, flights for holidays, steaks and meat, buying-to-rent, market investments ect ect. It crushes my spirit when I'm working a fulltime job, plus additional studies, and still break my back with mutliple streams of organising - and people with less commitments won't even come on a single A to B march with me. Whilst saying they care, whilst giving me little verbal pats-on-the-back. It feels like a betrayal. It feels like I have to carry the extra load of their inaction, to act on their behalf. And I try and understand, I try and give them grace, but I get to the point where it would kill me to continue to be friends with certain people. To continue to listen to these conversations, to continue to try to offer opportunies to help and be let down at every one for poor excuses "but let me know if anything else comes up, yeah??? I'll try and make the next one".
I feel like acknowledgement and education is the first step - but I wonder how to help people better make that next one, to action, to lifestyle changes.
Sorry for the rant, and thank you for the video!
In (rightly) linking colonialism with other forms of oppression, I feel that there is one you skip over - class.
We have right-wing politicians in the UK speak of the "white working class" as if the most significant part of that phrase is "white", rather than "working class". While the level of exploitation many of us experience is not as intense as in other countries, the politicians who want to turn us against people based on culture, skin colour, sexuality, who back Israel's genocide, are the same politicians who tell us we should not be greedy when we ask for higher wages, as prices spiral upwards, and the rich get richer. They are the same politicians who are destroying our public services, passing laws to weaken trade unions, criminalising protest.
The history we get taught also hides those who fought back in this country, the Levellers, Diggers, Chartists and New Union Movement (among others). It hides the violence which was done to those demanding better, from Tolpuddle to Peterloo to Orgreave, and across the pond in places like Harlan County. We are presented with progress in rights and lives as something that simply happened, rather than as something which had to be fought for.
As they make our lives worse, they want us to fear our lives being made worse still. We need to counter their narrative. We need to see that we have more interests in common with a worker in a garment factory in Bangladesh, than we do with a billionaire in our own country. All our lives could be made better. An injury to one is an injury to all.
Such a great video, thank you! Educating myself, as a white person, on the endless history of colonialist g-n-cide is really enlightening. The ideology, strategy and tactics are frighteningly similar. An Indigenous People’s History of the United States, Black Jacobins (French colonial violence in Haiti), Inglorious Empire and The Anarchy for Britain in India… and then A Hundred Years War on Palestine and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine… the parallels are truly staggering
Excellent video, as always, and very much needed!
I was talking with some white people in the US about Gaza recently who told me that they weren't following what was happening there because it was "depressing" and "they couldn't do anything about it." One person said they wanted to focus on things they _could_ fix, not what they couldn't. I thought that was very odd. Why would someone ignore problems, just because they can't personally fix them? Why does "fixing" or "doing something" matter? And then I realized that they meant, "I can't do anything to make my bad feelings go away." That one person wanted to focus on problems that they could easily solve because that means there's no lasting emotional burden. If a problem is "fixed," you can go on with your life, feeling like a hero, and forget about it.
I really, really wish white people would work on expanding their tolerance for uncomfortable and "depressing" situations, particularly for situations in which they are not playing the role of "fixer" or "hero." When it comes to Gaza, the US is playing the role of villain, and citizens of the US who are choosing to ignore it are playing the role of enablers. We are like a parent who is ignoring concrete evidence that their spouse is abusing their child because it's "too hard" to think about. And, yeah, it _is_ hard to acknowledge the truth, but what's more important here? That you avoid feeling like a bad person or that a child is being abused?
"I refuse to play cost-benefit analysis with human lives"
Not white, but I always love your videos.
Honestly, thank you for this video. It brought tears to my eyes. I myself have the same points but not your calm tone to spread them.
My heritage is Dutch-Irish-English, so my feelings about my heritage are... mixed. ^_^;;
I think a lot of people with little else to build their identity on latch onto "western chauvinism" because it gives them a story in which they are the main character, without any real introspection or work required.
I knew about the Tuskegee experiments but had never heard of the Mothers of Gynecology or the monument.
Bump for visibility, dogbless you
I loved the video man! It is a shame the lack of subtitles, but you speak facts.
Subtitles are coming! They should be up tomorrow. 💙
One people, one struggle. ✊️🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩🕊
I normally consider myself quite educated on a lot of these issues, and believe that I have done the internal work to get to a helpful, progressive point. But this video has shown that is not the case - I have a lot more work to do, and need to be better at taking action and not turning away from discomfort. Thank you
Another fantastic video Finn. Please take care of yourself. *hugs*
As a poc i also think that even white poor middle class people have been scr3ed up by the system.😢
Like I said in the comments on your short, there ARE absolutely ways to stay involved and preserve your mental health at the same time. At this stage I don't think there's any question that the situation is indeed bad, and the best way to make yourself feel better about it is to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Do what you can, when you can, with what you have, for as long as you can. But DO IT.
I'm white and European, I'm also Irish so my ancestors were recipients of colonialism but also participants in it. Plenty of Irish people "took the Kings shilling" and joined the colonial army. I'd like to hope many did so reluctantly. It never ceases to amaze me that some British nationalists get annoyed when Irish people refuse to wear a Poppy. The assertion that Irish people fought in the British Army and should somehow be honored by me. I'm a recent immigrant to the US. My experience of immigration is very different to my fellow immigrants. I identify as non-Anglo and an immigrant. That's a luxury I enjoy but I'm well aware that it's a choice I get to make.
The Irish identify with the Palestinians because they are experiencing the same settler colonialism as the Irish did. Boycott was the agent of a landlord in Ireland in the 1800's. He was engaged in mass evictions and was fully shunned by the community. It worked. He gave his name to the tactic.
I have noticed that my friends defend racism and colonialism when they identify with the perpetrators. It's worth pointing out that they don't need to.
Commenting only for the algorithm, because this has been articulated with a clarity and compassion in a way I can add very little to. Respect, Finn.
Thank you so much for articulating this.
Thank you so much for this video this discussion is one we really need to have. I truly believe that facing the horrors of the past and is the first step on the road to a better future this is an important part for healing humanity as a whole and as a white person living in north america and having gone through the difficulty that you mentioned in this video I tell it its an important journey for healing of white people too because violence like this not only hurts the victims of this violence it destroys the soul of the oppressor too. Being of irish and scottish descent my people were both the oppressed and the oppressors they were forced of their lands by the British to make way for sheep only to force native american people off of their lands. Dispossessed of our language culture and land we did the same onto others. The first step to healing is recognizing that these things happened and that they have continuing consequences to this day. I'm not personally responsible for their actions I don't need to bear their shame but I do need to break away from the path that they have sent us down choosing to follow in their footsteps would make me guilty of their crimes.
❤. Take good care of yourself, Finn. Thank you for your voice.
You are by far one of the most compelling and convincing speakers I've found on these topics. Thank you for everything you do. I will be showing this video to my loved ones, who I think have dedicated much of their life to the willful ignorance you're talking about.
I'm so excited to get into this. I'm open as well to challenge the concept of how I empathize with others. We're all influenced in some way, both for good and bad.
Another banger vid, Swole! Dog bless you! 🖤🖤🖤
The Maya Angelou clip at the end gives me chills. What an astounding, inspiring human.
Brilliant! A very open hearted exploration of what has been and is toward us choosing how to move forward together. Thank you for making and sharing this and for being.
Well said!
Good video. *Quietly prays to the algorithm gods*
Thanks for taking this important conversation on!
Homie goes Larry Bird mode! Keep knocking shit down properly my man. New subscriber.
Wow, wow, wow.. thank you for this video. You're speaking truth and thank you for saying that ignorance is no excuse for the lack of empathy for what systemic racism has wrought, and that ultimately it started "at home" in Europe and expanded from there.
Excellent video Finn
This is very eloquent and well spoken. It is a precise philosophical cut aimed at induced self-reflection, and it is well done. I can do so very little but subscribe and share your content, but I absolutely will do so, because of how valuable it will be.
I think its...a lot of reasons. The biggest one is fearing the truth will cause the country to collapse. It might, but that doesn't mean the truth should be held back. There is also the more fallacious idea that talking about the problem will entrench it, as if it was all just fading away before.
The only countries that would collapse from that are countries of immigrants in the anglosphere. Not nation states like in Europe. I doubt a Greek or a Czech would give a shit if they learned that wow big companies exploit people shocker
a great discussion, I hope people who needed to hear this watched . cease fire now
free Palestine
Hey Finntastic Mr Fox, Thanks for this video.
I'm German and I can not believe the ignorance I am whitnessing from people who want to claim morality/civility, while ignoring their own History, responsibility and the reason why "human dignity" is the first basic right in our law. Especially in Germany.
I really appreciate the way you phrased all of the difficult emotions ,insights and thoughts into one productive way. Often I'm totally overrun with the sheer ignorance the internet is displaying towards "reality" and this felt like a glimpse of hope through all the toxicity we have to endure. There's nothing more powerful in my book than sincerity and I hope we can make some positive Change.
Take care, thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to the videos you foreshadowed.
thank you for this video
Very well done ❤
These are the truths and people I have been looking for all my life. Thank you so much, beyond words, for your labor.
I need the words to explain this to other people. Swolesome, your work means the world to me, especially right now. You’ve shared so many resources and creators who are also more than willing to speak out against genocide and colonialism. Thank you.
This is one of the videos of all time, especially right now, along with Vivian Strange’s G@Za diaries. I have been asking so many people why they made the conversation personal. But making it personal *_is a choice._*
@@LucifersfursonaI really, really hope it helps get through to others. Thank you so much for always showing up, I always know your comments are going to be encouraging and kind, even on challenging topics. It helps with doing the work when you see other people who are doing it, too. 💙
@@FinntasticMrFoxthis is what’s gonna carry me today 👀 thank you Finn the human (sorry I had to😂)
I got a career placement at a collectivist womens’ clothing co-op and just being connected with other people who care about human beings is so healing. Trying to get to the art collective soon to print posters and silkscreen keffiyeh and 🍉🇵🇸 prints (not for profit, if people want to pay for them they have to donate mutual aid and organizational aid instead. Anybody who wants to fund me can do it afterwards)
When people implore the techonogy and social comforts gained from imperialism, all I can ever think of is the infinitely outpaced progress we lost as humans because of imperialist genocides. What crusades and missions stole. What slavers stole. What the gods employed to keep us sweet have stolen from humanity.
To imply we would not have found ways to travel and communicate at nigh-light speeds, would not have ways to drink and eat and smoke fantastic and world changing things, that we would not have medicine or our meager, hard-won rights without the current framework, when they have all had to be fought for and have been found otherwise through subjugation, murder and torture, all I can feel is loss for what we could have had and could have been. Imperialism flattened and deadened our world trying to impose a fixed state of idyllic childlike bliss onto a world and a people that are alive and must change to survive.
I’m not under a waterfall cuddling on a flat sunny rock with my friends, the sunlight kissing tattoos freshly laid over the two scars on my pecs, enjoying art and medicine, dancing to music, discussing the absurdities of sapience and death long into the night, because of colonialism. It took that from us. It attempts to and often succeeds in replacing itself for the feeling of innate relationship any human has when they look at another human’s face. Dividing us by marginalization and by torturing us in separated groups, imperialism has succeeded at least for now, for as long as we let it, into creating generational horrors that another person not grouped in that way *_cannot_* access 1:1. They are succeeding in othering our pain. I don’t need to understand and feel everything 1:1 to stand by humanity, and the hell being forced onto others is something I don’t want to experience. And I don’t want them to experience it just as much if not more. The reason you as a self are in a state of being that is conditionally protected is nothing. There is no reason. There is no reason your “I” is attached to the particular body it is, and you don’t know where and who you will be the next time you wake up, are born, exist, and think “I am.”
@@FinntasticMrFoxthank you so much this actually means everything to me that I haven’t just been screaming into a void. If I can do even a fraction of your work, I’ll be very proud of myself- that means I can make a difference for people who aren’t just me :)
I've only just started the video but this thought popped into my head: I thought the video was called "why are we so ok being lied to" or something like that. Now I realise I probably never even read the title and just looked at the thumbnail. Does anyone else do that?
Excellent video, really well written and presented. Thank you for the information. All the states that lord over us use indoctrination and gaslighting when it comes to diverting away from their atrocities. That trigger of defensiveness is something we can all relate to
Among everything else relevant which breaks my heart, it also breaks my heart that anyone needs that introduction.
Dog bless, Finn. Bunch of great points here
Thanks for the video. It's also like even if we think we do what we can, but maybe we can do even more than we think.
If you want to learn more, I would highly recommend watching the YT videos:
_"Michael Parenti lecture (1986)"_
_"Michael Parenti - The U.S. War on Yugoslavia (1999)"_
I’m not the target audience but I very much appreciate you making this video. I’ll do what I can to spread it.
Fantastic video, thank you for putting this into better words than I can!
Fantastic video. Or should I say-Finn-tastic.
Thank you for making this
Commenting for the algorithim, but also- thank you for making such thoughtful and important videos.
22:01 on this note, everyone should watch the cost of doing business from the alt right playbook series.
Thank you
Personally, I broke myself of the reflexive need to be a good person a long time ago. I _know_ I'm not a terribly good person, I'm pretty sure I am literally a sociopath. I have _a lot_ of trouble with empathy outside things that directly affect _me personally._
Ancestors and heritage and systems I hate which I had no part in constructing are much easier.

Hi, I haven't had the chance to watch much of this yet. But I recognize the question on the thumbnail. I think the question is presented as a sunk-cost, because of the individuals who've invested themselves into the project personally - so that the project MUST be a good thing. This is besides the material interests - again, at the personal individual level - a person might have in the project, since as you can't rehabilitate nazi germany or apartheid south africa, you can't keep people who maintain evil systems within the governing/administrative system if you change things i.e. they want to maintain 'power', prestige, money etc. So, the sunk-cost argument is maintained, by harm, fraud, projection, murder, propaganda, et al. "Colonialism" is a polite word. I do have to watch this video now, hehe. Thank you.
Beautiful vid
PS but some of the links don't work.
Thank you for letting me know! They should be working now--I think TH-cam may be blocking some of them as they appear differently in the posted description than the editing box. Please let me know if they're still not working. 💙
No problem, just checked the links again and the only ones that don't work still are both of the "US Prison Slavery" links and the first link "Education and Indoctrination and Censorship". @@FinntasticMrFox
@@Yourblackbestfriend Gotcha! They should be fixed now. The Washington Post link will need to be copy-pasted as for some reason TH-cam keeps messing with it when I save the update.

nothing to add, a comment for visibility
Thank you for this video
i'm white and my immediate uncomfortability comes from someone wanting to have a special talk on their bed
What is the best way to go about using verifiable primary sources to follow the events in Palestine? Breadtube pretty much started out pro Palestine, and major news sources were pro Israel from the start, so clearly Breadtube was using something other than news to get its news. What's the recommended technique to avoid propaganda and doctored images/videos?
i use al jazeera english, they have live updates
Solid question. I'm going to second chloebreo--I've been checking Al Jazeera, but the best thing to do is look at multiple sources. Ground News really helps with that (not sponsored, I just use it and find it helpful.) I always seek as many sources as I can on anything that reaches mainstream news.
Given the extent of the bias and propaganda, though: Journalists and reporters in Palestine are incredibly important information sources. I can't speak for everyone in this TH-cam sphere, but I first learned the truth about the Israeli occupation a few years ago from a friend (and journalist) who has been to Palestine. Palestinian people who are able are sharing whatever information they can, which is both incredibly dangerous and essential for the sake of truth when government bodies and media outlets are spinning a narrative. I recommend following Motaz Azaiza, Hind Khoudary, Doaa Albaz, and any other Palestinian reporters/photographers who are documenting what is happening.
I've found that ground news only says what the left, center, and right are saying about given topics, unless you pay the premium for factuality ratings. That experience left me with less certainty about the events I followed than before. (It also has some interesting ideas what news outlets count as "left," though I can live with that)
I'm not white but can I still watch please? ☹️

i think some of the issue (speaking about earlier parts of video) is essentialist identity stuff, and how whiteness is sort of a fake/substitute identity. a lot of white people (me included) have pretty much nothing to connect to identity-wise cause our "authentic" identities have been stripped as well, just in a different sort of way. plus i dont think they realize if it was a different group of people doing the colonizing, and whiteness had been built as the lower class then the script would be flipped. for someone who doesnt get that the problem is the concept of hierarchy rather than who is at the top, they dont have a way out other than to feel like the bad guy. even if you can get the part of the way there they shut down once they think they cant do anything about it

Logically, now and for all of history, the leaders are a minor issue. The main issue is the people, they choose the leaders. So I deduce in order to get actual change in the world. We are going to have to fight to the death each other in war, maybe in a world war.
Which people choose our leaders? You truly believe the fallacy of democracy?
@@maxgrozema1093 No, I know the U.S doesn't have a democracy. My point is that it doesn't matter there is or not. The people throughout all of history determine their societies and therefore the people that "rule" them. I argue that the people are more accountable than the leaders, most of the time, for every society.
@@Multi1 how are the people accountable if they don't and never have held the power over a nation? It has always been ruled by the elite and the upper-middle class, and their dictat looks only out for themselves.
@@maxgrozema1093 nowadays its always the majority people. and the people will trick you into thinking its their leaders who are wrong. nazis were elected. putin is elected. the opposition is jailed because... the opposition is MINORITY.
