This was great.. the brainwashing for me started in 6th grade in 1974.. Woodrow was the best president!!! Started the League of Nations, the IRS, the school skimmed over Hoover except for his Hooverville camp in D.C. for unpaid military pensions.. then Roosevelt was a God.. the New Deal.. the Unions.. this was taught in a wealthy, public grade school in St Louis MO. High school was much better with Ancient history, and Western Civilization and Anthology (this course studied the organs of man using African tribes, American Indians and Eskimos as examples.. this course would NEVER be taught today.. However, American History was a full year from the Mayflower yo the Civil war and From Reconstruction to Modern Day.. And once again WW and FDR were gods..
I was lucky enough to have a History and Economics (history in junior year, Economics in senior) teacher in H.S. who revealed to his students what was wrong with presidents like FDR (who he referred to as "The man who thought he OWNED the presidency). This was the '70s, and if you were a student (and a parent), you probably were not aware of the how much the leftists had already infiltrated the school system, and were indoctrinating the students -- looking back, I can see the leftists were already indoctrinating when I was in grammar school in the '60s.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” ~ Woodrow Wilson
Wilson enabled Hoover to make 10,000 arrests in one month. He declared that anyone who considered themselves a hybrid American (German-American, Italian-American etc) an enemy of the state.
That's nothing compared to the amount of people arrested during Reagan's time in office. Thanks to his stupid war on drugs the prison population nearly quadrupled.
Actually it hasn't. Teddy Roosevelt was the first progressive president & possibly the GOAT. Wilson was the first POTUS of the NEW progressive party, which they conveniently left out of the video.
Wilson's reputation has sunk into the toilet in recent times thanks to the work of historian-TH-camrs on here (The Cynical Historian and AlternateHistoryHub to name a few and I'm sure the trend isn't just confined to TH-cam) and justly so... so don't worry too much about how people view at the anti-Linc--I mean Wilson! ^_^
For me it sunk a long time ago, when I was a history student in 1973, reading the writings of W.E.B. DuBois for the NAACP’s journal, Crisis, condemning Wilson for his various racist policies.
These guys definitely do very well with history, and it’s sad that it’s considered political incorrectness to talk about history.

Only quibble is the comment about factory work being something people didn't want to do, cuz it's hard work. (Paraphrased a bit) People gravitated to the cities and factory work because 1) it was a LOT easier than what they were doing - farming, and 2) there were more jobs, it was America's industrial revolution after all, farming was super hard labor.
nor did they mention that he was a vegetable in the later years of his administration, and his wife ran the country.. 🤔 there was a lot to describe progressivism - and how it died off for so many years.. common malice, give us the raw stuff - give it hard michael!!
Cool video! Not a huge fan of Wilson, but there are a couple points in his favor I can think of. For one, he was a big proponent of anti-colonialism and self-determination. Also, I don't really think that he had anything to do with the Nazis, unless you mean that he didn't do enough to reign in the British and French thirst for reparations. And arguably, if the US didn't get involved in WW1, the Allies might have lost, which I doubt would be in any way a better outcome. I also don't see much of a connection between him and Bolshevism. In fact, he intervened in the Russian civil war with American troops, but the Bolsheviks won anyways. Finally, in my personal opinion, I think that protecting the world from an evil leader is pretty much one of the only valid reasons for justifying a war. Whether or not WW1 falls into that category is up for debate.
My grandfather turned 21 in 1915. Did NOT want to go fight in Europe. Voted for WW. Never voted Dem again. He obtained a draft exemption because he was essential, he managed a stable. They were essential. My otjer grandfather was NG. He went. Didabled war veteran. Died in 1933 aged 38.
And this man, along with FDR, are two Presidents the modern day Democrats hold in high esteem. Instead of keeping pinned down, they just found a way to benefit from them: the modern day welfare (for votes) state.
@@Natenick5, apparently, sir, you haven't bothered to look at the members of the Woodrow Wilson Center - many of whom populate the networks with contributors and commentators. For instance, Jane Harmon, a former Congresswoman, among others. Knowledge is Power, my friend.
Agreed. Something tells me even if the US did not get involved in the Russian Civil War, future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself said, "We must struggle the infant Bolshevik in the cradle". Therefore, other powers shall still get involved and the Bolsheviks shall use it as an excuse to take power as well as incorporate that into their history books to maintain power.
Wilson's problem wasn't that he entered WWI, it was that he entered WWI too late! If we never entered the war, communism at the very least still would have arose; Nazism likely would have arose as well. The conditions that brought the USSR and Nazi to power could have been avoided or at least lessened had American's joined the war earlier. However, instead we got an exhausted and weathered Germany and Russia, which caused food shortages and general discontent that fueled both movements. Had America joined earlier it would have ended quicker, as we would have been joining when both sides were merely stalemated, rather than when Russia was already starting to fall apart. That is what Teddy Roosevelt (who nearly ran as a republican against him) had wanted us to do. If you want to talk about his war hypocrisy, talk about all the wars he had the us join/start in Latin and South America.
The report forgot to tell how Wilson covered up the Spanish flu. Wilson's decisions then incompetently spread the flu from military camp to military camp then across the world. The military incursion into Mexico was a disaster which set relations with Mexico back decades. You were far to kind.
He was a progressive that even progressives didn't like so why make him the face of the progressive party. This is selective history of I've ever seen it
Progressives hate him now that race has become the central preoccupation with their movement. Until their full blown adoption of identity politics Wilson was still hailed as a hero.
I had hoped for an unbiased view on Wilson in this video, but I guess the best I can hope for is the ability to see both extremes and find my own middle ground. For instance the US entry into WWI creating Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. How? The Bolsheviks were a burgeoning force in Russia prior to the outbreak of war in Europe which pushed the populace over the edge towards revolution because of the war itself, not American involvement. As for our involvement in the post WWI fighting in Russia, that is definitely an embarrassment, and we should not have been there, but it did not empower the Bolsheviks. We fought on the side of the White forces on one front, and attempted to remain neutral on the other minus several skirmishes with Japanese forces. As for Nazism the only way one can claim Wilson was responsible is perhaps the fact that had the US not entered the war at all then perhaps Germany would have won and the terms would have been different, but that is a bit of a stretch. Especially since Wilson did attempt to negotiate more favorable terms for the Germans. He was just too weak to have as much influence in the matter, and we had no stake in the game in comparison. We lost too many lives, but nothing like what the other Entente forces lost. They just were not going to let Germany off lightly regardless of what was the right thing to do or what their newest teammate suggested even if they did owe us a buttload of cash. You should stick with the legitimate flaws in Wilson's character of which there were plenty, and avoid conjecture. ... also it was more after WWII that we became rhe global watchdog. We had returned to a state of isolationism after WWI, and it took all of Churchill's cunning and effort to get us to go all in with Europe and it's perpetual wars a second time.
We have a bad habit of not learning from our history. Currently on the doorstep of repeating parts of it that will lead us into a dark dark chapter. We will probably not get out of
I really don't think it was our involvement in WWI that fed the Bolshevik movement, Nazism, and/or Fascism. But it was what was in the Treaty of Versailles that was the catalyst.
They were, but then Progressivism had been championed by the Democratic Party since Woodrow Wilson, although Harry S. Truman & John. F. Kenedy would be considered Conservatives by today's standards.
@@jakebate1533 JFK, no way. He was left-of-center Democrat there are many who hold near identical views to his in office to this very day. Less than in his time, but they do exist within the democratic party. Modern day republicans would consider him a RINO, not a conservative.
I have mathematically unified physics. THE ULTIMATE (AND CLEAR) MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION (AND PROOF) REGARDING PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE IS NOW DEMONSTRATED, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA: TIME DILATION ultimately proves (ON BALANCE) that E=mc2 IS F=ma, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. (Importantly, balance and completeness go hand in hand.) The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. NOW, A PHOTON may be placed at the center of WHAT IS THE SUN (as A POINT, of course); AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light (c); AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Indeed, ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. GREAT. Accordingly, INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=mc2 IS F=ma. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=MA. GREAT !!! Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=mc2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Consider THE MAN who is standing on what is THE EARTH/GROUND. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.

Great. MOREOVER, a given PLANET (including what is THE EARTH) then sweeps out equal areas in equal times consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND what is perpetual motion; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Stellar clustering ALSO proves ON BALANCE that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Objects (including WHAT IS the falling MAN) fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), as E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/energy is gravity. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=mc2 IS F=ma. THE DOME of a PERSON'S EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. (Notice the flat AND black space of what is THE EYE.) The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND the Earth is blue. THE EARTH/ground AND THE SUN are E=mc2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS UNIVERSALLY PROVEN TO BE GRAVITY in what is a mathematically unified fashion. E=mc2 IS F=ma. The middle distance in/of/AS SPACE AND the full distance in/of/AS SPACE are NECESSARILY linked AND balanced. MAGNIFICENT !!!!!!!!!! INSTANTANEITY IS thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.

Donors have included foundations run by the Koch family, the Scaifes, and the Bradleys. As of 2017, Capital Research Center had received more than $265,000 from ExxonMobil. Just so everyone knows whose views are being expressed here
The only reason he’s called progressive was his economic reforms. The progressive era in the 19th and early 20th century was just a catch all term for “reform” and has nothing to do with modern progressivism
I mean, the video is only fourteen minutes long. Wilson’s malfeasance could fill hours long documentaries. They’re trying to make this stuff digestible for victims of public schooling, you know.
Bankster controlled TH-cam would at the least demontize this video, with all the talk of deficits a Congress still controlled by the people would try talking about money where people who borrow send interest payments to the U.S. treasurey.
The first Progressive president was Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson was the last. Also, life was terrible for black citizens until the end of the Civil Rights Movement, where legal segregation was (mostly) abolished. Slavery wasn’t even illegal until 1941.
Oops, I made a mistake regarding Hoover, who did have a position of responsibility in spite of being in his mud 20s. On the other hand, “He kept us out of war” is not a promise to keep out of war indefinitely. The Germans sank ocean liners and violated international rules of warfare. When they initiated unlimited submarine warfare, they forced Wilson’s hand. They were gambling that they would win the war before the US could mobilize. Wilson tried to achieve a just war settlement. He was naive, but not a villain in this regard.
I would put him as fifth worst President of all time. However I have two issues with this video. 1. Wilson did cause a lot of problems s for the world after WWI, but crediting him with Bolshevism is a stretch. It took the stars aligning for Russia to go Communist most all of those stemmed from the Tsar and then the provisional govt continuing the war and failing to fix the supply problem internally. 2. There is a tendency to other behaviors and label everything disagreed with as progressive including attempts to regulate behavior. It wasn't that long ago that the religious right was trying to control tv and video game content for instance. Prohibition was a joint effort by the religious community, progressives and nativists. I sympathize with similar contemporary concerns like ending the war on drugs but it is counter productive to attach all negative qualities to one side or the other as it leaves people unaware and I'll equiped to combat authoritarian impulses from their own side.
i wont ever understand how anyone could ever regard him as anything remotely good for america. in my humble opinion he's the single worst president the usa ever had, and yes, that includes also that recent one you're thinking of right now, bc they just failed to repair a broken system. WW was the guy who broke it in the first place.
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Basically in this context the term “progressive” entirely has to do with the label. In many ways, neither Roosevelt nor Wilson would be considered progressive by today’s standards, since modern progressivism is heavily rooted in the ideal of achieving social equality (even if you disagree with their approach), something that someone like Wilson was firmly against. I’m not sure how Jackson fit into that. He was not labeled a progressive at the time, and he isn’t considered a progressive now by our modern standards. The only thing he did I’d really describe as “progressive” is expanding the vote. There’s also the fact that if you do go by modern standards, he’s probably one of your average progressive’s least favorite Presidents, while he tends to be heavily defended by those with more conservative or nationalistic views (whether that’s due to a love for traditional figures or genuine agreement with his overall ideology is something I leave up to you). I think Jackson is best described as a right-wing populist (admittedly one who was more exclusionary than most of the modern right save someone like MTG).
Wilson isn't the entire subject of this one video. When it comes to origins of progressivism - Dewey is a prominent progressive of that era with many destructive ideas to quote
@@dorvinion I was asking specifically those questions; it wasn't clear to me, in a scalar sense, or by degree/caliber, how far up or down the totem pole that Dewey was being portrayed. I understand and have studied some of Dewey's works; verily, I know he is a figure much discussed in the origins of progressivis. I wasn't certain, rather, if Woods and Malice were depicting Dewey in a closer to neutral light, or a closer to negative light.
And I wasn't, perhaps by your comment, perhaps not, just so I can be sure: I wasn't insinuating Wilson was the entire subject matter of the video; he and Dewey were the subjects of my questions. Thanks for the earnest and well-intentioned reply!
I'd say it's hard to rank who was the worse Progressive, Wilson or Dewey, cause while Wilson was President and had major impact on the geopolitical future of the US, Dewey had a major impact on the Education system, both Public schools and Collegiate level and when that well was permanently poisoned... It's hard to say who did more damage, both were awful human beings tho and evil to the core, so it probably doesn't really matter much who did more, the fact is they did their damage and their venom has been poisoning the US ever since virtually uncontested.
I am a big fan of both Woods and Malice, but to say that Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman were deported only for their views is demonstrably incorrect. Goldman and Berkman were apart of an assassination plot to murder Henry Clay Frick. They wanted revenge after nine workers were killed in a shootout with Frick's Pinkerton strike breakers, and they hoped his murder would accelerate a revolution. Very similar to how Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols wanted revenge for Waco and hoped their act would accelerate a revolt. Goldman and Berkman may have started as activists, but they would resort to terrorism (aka propaganda of the deed) and to insinuate that only their beliefs were cause for their deportation is very disingenuous.
Theodore Roosevelt had very little in common with "modern progressivism". The ol' Bull Moose considered Socialists like Upton Sinclair to be crazed fools at best.
@@Somewhat-Evil Except he started progressivism. The FDA, the Sherman Anti-Trust cases, the expansion of govt power, that all began with Theodore. The only reason it didn't blow up in his face, or the face of the people who voted for him, is because his "Square Deal" only meant punishing big business for cheating, not for merely succeeding. Like it or not, the origins of progressivism as an idea began with Roosevelt. It was later co-opted by socialists as yet another tool in their mind games arsenal.
The best advice Malice has given i think was to teach your kid a second language. The reason he gave was that it makes it harder to fall for titles groups give themselves and their causes
U.S. entry into WWI was the worse geopolitical decision in human history. No I'm not kidding. Not only did it set the stage for WWII with the Versailles treaty, it also sucked the U.S. into the imperial machinations of the European powers, despite Wilson's high-minded ideals. Allied victory in WWI, which was made possible by U.S. involvement in the war, empowered the Europeans to pick apart the corpse of the Ottoman Empire, allowed them to entrench their interests in Asia and bolstered Japanese territorial claims. The U.S. picked a side in an imperial conflict for which it has NO stake in.
It wasn't the US entry into WWI that made US constant war involvement possible but it was Wilson's fault. Wilson had waged a bunch of intervention wars in Latin and South America before we entered WWI.
They really sound like they're reading something for the first time, and no one bothered to edit it so that they sound like they're talking to each other.
WW = the first, and best example of who Dr Thomas Sowell refers to as the Annointed Class ... that believe they have all of the answers to any problems and they should direct the rest of us accordingly
Another excellent and informative video. Thank you for this wonderful content, I've shared several of your videos with my liberal democrat voting brother as trump cards to win the day.
So to start I don’t like Wilson either his elitist idealistic rhetoric was terrible but what is the point of this argument? By no means would I call the US entry into the WWI as a “fiasco” since we tilted the war in favor of more democratic nations. In a strange way their argument is almost saying Germany should have one the war because then there would be no Nazi’s or communists. At this point the Germans had already smuggled Lenin back to Russia, the US had no part in that. If the war had drug out longer communism would have been more likely to take hold in France and Great Britain since their countries resources would have been furthered drained or destroyed. If you want to attack Wilson that’s fine but this argument takes the wrong lessons away from history.
U.S. entry into the war upset the balance of power which had existed in Europe since the end of the Napoleonic Era. Without American soldiers and industry might Europe would likely fought each other to a standstill as they had in 1870. Furthermore, Wilson's idealistic vision for peace was completely unachievable not just domestically but in Europe as well. Britain and especially France wanted revenge, they were not going to let this bookish upstart from America tell them that they did not deserve a victor's peace. Again, American power afforded the victorious allies to impose their will upon a vanquished Germany and Wilson did not have the leverage to achieve otherwise.
I'm confused by something what is the definition of "progressive" and "white supremacy?" I hear those words yet they mean different things to different people (redefining words is a big problem).

Do you know what bad animation looks like?
Love Tom's weasle photo for Malice - perfect!
This is my favorite series.
Only quibble is the comment about factory work being something people didn't want to do, cuz it's hard work. (Paraphrased a bit)
People gravitated to the cities and factory work because 1) it was a LOT easier than what they were doing - farming, and 2) there were more jobs, it was America's industrial revolution after all, farming was super hard labor.
how was the federal reserve act not mentioned!!??
They do talk about the fed all the time but it should have been mentioned here
They do a lot in the Depression one.
nor did they mention that he was a vegetable in the later years of his administration, and his wife ran the country.. 🤔 there was a lot to describe progressivism - and how it died off for so many years.. common malice, give us the raw stuff - give it hard michael!!
Maybe it was not mentioned because this is TH-cam and it would get censored
Cool video! Not a huge fan of Wilson, but there are a couple points in his favor I can think of. For one, he was a big proponent of anti-colonialism and self-determination. Also, I don't really think that he had anything to do with the Nazis, unless you mean that he didn't do enough to reign in the British and French thirst for reparations. And arguably, if the US didn't get involved in WW1, the Allies might have lost, which I doubt would be in any way a better outcome. I also don't see much of a connection between him and Bolshevism. In fact, he intervened in the Russian civil war with American troops, but the Bolsheviks won anyways. Finally, in my personal opinion, I think that protecting the world from an evil leader is pretty much one of the only valid reasons for justifying a war. Whether or not WW1 falls into that category is up for debate.
I couldn’t stop laughing from that intro! I want to talk about Woodrow Wilson, WHY?? 😆
Wilson brought us Income Taxes, The Federal Reserve, and the UN.
Please please please keep these coming!!
Hi Joe!
Lol you're so great
@12:17 That image of "dropping bombs" was really funny!
My grandfather turned 21 in 1915. Did NOT want to go fight in Europe. Voted for WW. Never voted Dem again. He obtained a draft exemption because he was essential, he managed a stable. They were essential. My otjer grandfather was NG. He went. Didabled war veteran. Died in 1933 aged 38.
And this man, along with FDR, are two Presidents the modern day Democrats hold in high esteem.
Instead of keeping pinned down, they just found a way to benefit from them: the modern day welfare (for votes) state.
Modern day Democrats don't know who the fuck Woodrow Wilson is.
Ummm I’ve never met a modern day democrat with a positive opinion on Wilson. It’d be impressed if you could find one, especially since realignment
@@Natenick5, apparently, sir, you haven't bothered to look at the members of the Woodrow Wilson Center - many of whom populate the networks with contributors and commentators. For instance, Jane Harmon, a former Congresswoman, among others. Knowledge is Power, my friend.
Blaming the rise of Bolshevism on Woodrow Wilson seems like an idea that needs to be better explained to be convincing.
Agreed. Something tells me even if the US did not get involved in the Russian Civil War, future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself said, "We must struggle the infant Bolshevik in the cradle". Therefore, other powers shall still get involved and the Bolsheviks shall use it as an excuse to take power as well as incorporate that into their history books to maintain power.
Im not disappointed about this ad tbh
Wilson's problem wasn't that he entered WWI, it was that he entered WWI too late! If we never entered the war, communism at the very least still would have arose; Nazism likely would have arose as well.
The conditions that brought the USSR and Nazi to power could have been avoided or at least lessened had American's joined the war earlier. However, instead we got an exhausted and weathered Germany and Russia, which caused food shortages and general discontent that fueled both movements.
Had America joined earlier it would have ended quicker, as we would have been joining when both sides were merely stalemated, rather than when Russia was already starting to fall apart. That is what Teddy Roosevelt (who nearly ran as a republican against him) had wanted us to do.
If you want to talk about his war hypocrisy, talk about all the wars he had the us join/start in Latin and South America.
The report forgot to tell how Wilson covered up the Spanish flu. Wilson's decisions then incompetently spread the flu from military camp to military camp then across the world. The military incursion into Mexico was a disaster which set relations with Mexico back decades. You were far to kind.
These two are intellectual studs!
I like this one on the title alone. I’m sure the video won’t disappoint.
It won’t!
Not to mention that Wilson set the stage for two wars in Vietnam by condoning French colonialism.
He was a progressive that even progressives didn't like so why make him the face of the progressive party. This is selective history of I've ever seen it
Progressives hate him now that race has become the central preoccupation with their movement. Until their full blown adoption of identity politics Wilson was still hailed as a hero.

@@roejogan5265 nah, we're just tired of your shit.
I had hoped for an unbiased view on Wilson in this video, but I guess the best I can hope for is the ability to see both extremes and find my own middle ground.
For instance the US entry into WWI creating Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. How? The Bolsheviks were a burgeoning force in Russia prior to the outbreak of war in Europe which pushed the populace over the edge towards revolution because of the war itself, not American involvement. As for our involvement in the post WWI fighting in Russia, that is definitely an embarrassment, and we should not have been there, but it did not empower the Bolsheviks. We fought on the side of the White forces on one front, and attempted to remain neutral on the other minus several skirmishes with Japanese forces.
As for Nazism the only way one can claim Wilson was responsible is perhaps the fact that had the US not entered the war at all then perhaps Germany would have won and the terms would have been different, but that is a bit of a stretch. Especially since Wilson did attempt to negotiate more favorable terms for the Germans. He was just too weak to have as much influence in the matter, and we had no stake in the game in comparison. We lost too many lives, but nothing like what the other Entente forces lost. They just were not going to let Germany off lightly regardless of what was the right thing to do or what their newest teammate suggested even if they did owe us a buttload of cash.
You should stick with the legitimate flaws in Wilson's character of which there were plenty, and avoid conjecture.
... also it was more after WWII that we became rhe global watchdog. We had returned to a state of isolationism after WWI, and it took all of Churchill's cunning and effort to get us to go all in with Europe and it's perpetual wars a second time.

I really don't think it was our involvement in WWI that fed the Bolshevik movement, Nazism, and/or Fascism. But it was what was in the Treaty of Versailles that was the catalyst.
Actually Progressives were Teddy Roosevelt’s party
They were, but then Progressivism had been championed by the Democratic Party since Woodrow Wilson, although Harry S. Truman & John. F. Kenedy would be considered Conservatives by today's standards.
@@jakebate1533 JFK, no way. He was left-of-center Democrat there are many who hold near identical views to his in office to this very day. Less than in his time, but they do exist within the democratic party. Modern day republicans would consider him a RINO, not a conservative.
I have mathematically unified physics. THE ULTIMATE (AND CLEAR) MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION (AND PROOF) REGARDING PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE IS NOW DEMONSTRATED, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA: TIME DILATION ultimately proves (ON BALANCE) that E=mc2 IS F=ma, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. (Importantly, balance and completeness go hand in hand.) The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. NOW, A PHOTON may be placed at the center of WHAT IS THE SUN (as A POINT, of course); AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light (c); AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Indeed, ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. GREAT. Accordingly, INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=mc2 IS F=ma. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=MA. GREAT !!! Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=mc2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Consider THE MAN who is standing on what is THE EARTH/GROUND. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. Great. MOREOVER, a given PLANET (including what is THE EARTH) then sweeps out equal areas in equal times consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND what is perpetual motion; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.

Stellar clustering ALSO proves ON BALANCE that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Objects (including WHAT IS the falling MAN) fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), as E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/energy is gravity. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=mc2 IS F=ma. THE DOME of a PERSON'S EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. (Notice the flat AND black space of what is THE EYE.) The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND the Earth is blue. THE EARTH/ground AND THE SUN are E=mc2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS UNIVERSALLY PROVEN TO BE GRAVITY in what is a mathematically unified fashion. E=mc2 IS F=ma. The middle distance in/of/AS SPACE AND the full distance in/of/AS SPACE are NECESSARILY linked AND balanced. MAGNIFICENT !!!!!!!!!! INSTANTANEITY IS thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.

Literally ended the progressive era he was not progressive lol
The only reason he’s called progressive was his economic reforms. The progressive era in the 19th and early 20th century was just a catch all term for “reform” and has nothing to do with modern progressivism
All good stuff, any reason not to bring up the 16th amendment and the federal reserve?
I mean, the video is only fourteen minutes long. Wilson’s malfeasance could fill hours long documentaries. They’re trying to make this stuff digestible for victims of public schooling, you know.

Great Episode.
Fabian Society ? Look them up ? Wilson didn’t care for “ Deplorables” ? Was he the first one to bring Academia to Washington ? 😤
Love these video's!
His PIG books are awesome.
The first Progressive president was Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson was the last. Also, life was terrible for black citizens until the end of the Civil Rights Movement, where legal segregation was (mostly) abolished. Slavery wasn’t even illegal until 1941.
TY for the truth…
Oops, I made a mistake regarding Hoover, who did have a position of responsibility in spite of being in his mud 20s. On the other hand, “He kept us out of war” is not a promise to keep out of war indefinitely. The Germans sank ocean liners and violated international rules of warfare. When they initiated unlimited submarine warfare, they forced Wilson’s hand. They were gambling that they would win the war before the US could mobilize. Wilson tried to achieve a just war settlement. He was naive, but not a villain in this regard.
Love that weasel reference at the top.
I would put him as fifth worst President of all time. However I have two issues with this video. 1. Wilson did cause a lot of problems s for the world after WWI, but crediting him with Bolshevism is a stretch. It took the stars aligning for Russia to go Communist most all of those stemmed from the Tsar and then the provisional govt continuing the war and failing to fix the supply problem internally.
2. There is a tendency to other behaviors and label everything disagreed with as progressive including attempts to regulate behavior. It wasn't that long ago that the religious right was trying to control tv and video game content for instance. Prohibition was a joint effort by the religious community, progressives and nativists. I sympathize with similar contemporary concerns like ending the war on drugs but it is counter productive to attach all negative qualities to one side or the other as it leaves people unaware and I'll equiped to combat authoritarian impulses from their own side.

i wont ever understand how anyone could ever regard him as anything remotely good for america. in my humble opinion he's the single worst president the usa ever had, and yes, that includes also that recent one you're thinking of right now, bc they just failed to repair a broken system. WW was the guy who broke it in the first place.
Y’all realize Teddy Roosevelt was a the first progressive President, right?
I would say Andrew Jackson was our first progressive president but your right the word wasn’t invented until the early 1900s
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Basically in this context the term “progressive” entirely has to do with the label. In many ways, neither Roosevelt nor Wilson would be considered progressive by today’s standards, since modern progressivism is heavily rooted in the ideal of achieving social equality (even if you disagree with their approach), something that someone like Wilson was firmly against. I’m not sure how Jackson fit into that. He was not labeled a progressive at the time, and he isn’t considered a progressive now by our modern standards. The only thing he did I’d really describe as “progressive” is expanding the vote. There’s also the fact that if you do go by modern standards, he’s probably one of your average progressive’s least favorite Presidents, while he tends to be heavily defended by those with more conservative or nationalistic views (whether that’s due to a love for traditional figures or genuine agreement with his overall ideology is something I leave up to you). I think Jackson is best described as a right-wing populist (admittedly one who was more exclusionary than most of the modern right save someone like MTG).

What was the general disposition that was trying to be elicited with John Dewey? In comparison/contrast to Woodrow Wilson?
Wilson isn't the entire subject of this one video. When it comes to origins of progressivism - Dewey is a prominent progressive of that era with many destructive ideas to quote
@@dorvinion I was asking specifically those questions; it wasn't clear to me, in a scalar sense, or by degree/caliber, how far up or down the totem pole that Dewey was being portrayed. I understand and have studied some of Dewey's works; verily, I know he is a figure much discussed in the origins of progressivis. I wasn't certain, rather, if Woods and Malice were depicting Dewey in a closer to neutral light, or a closer to negative light.
And I wasn't, perhaps by your comment, perhaps not, just so I can be sure: I wasn't insinuating Wilson was the entire subject matter of the video; he and Dewey were the subjects of my questions.
Thanks for the earnest and well-intentioned reply!
I'd say it's hard to rank who was the worse Progressive, Wilson or Dewey, cause while Wilson was President and had major impact on the geopolitical future of the US, Dewey had a major impact on the Education system, both Public schools and Collegiate level and when that well was permanently poisoned... It's hard to say who did more damage, both were awful human beings tho and evil to the core, so it probably doesn't really matter much who did more, the fact is they did their damage and their venom has been poisoning the US ever since virtually uncontested.
He also rewrote American history, completely leaving out the contribution of blacks.
I am a big fan of both Woods and Malice, but to say that Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman were deported only for their views is demonstrably incorrect.
Goldman and Berkman were apart of an assassination plot to murder Henry Clay Frick. They wanted revenge after nine workers were killed in a shootout with Frick's Pinkerton strike breakers, and they hoped his murder would accelerate a revolution.
Very similar to how Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols wanted revenge for Waco and hoped their act would accelerate a revolt.
Goldman and Berkman may have started as activists, but they would resort to terrorism (aka propaganda of the deed) and to insinuate that only their beliefs were cause for their deportation is very disingenuous.
A little weird that his 2 biggest/most impactful blunders, the federal reserve and the income tax, weren't mentioned. But still a good video overall.
This better mention Teddy Roosevelt, the ACTUAL origin of progressivism.
Theodore Roosevelt had very little in common with "modern progressivism". The ol' Bull Moose considered Socialists like Upton Sinclair to be crazed fools at best.
@@Somewhat-Evil
Except he started progressivism. The FDA, the Sherman Anti-Trust cases, the expansion of govt power, that all began with Theodore.
The only reason it didn't blow up in his face, or the face of the people who voted for him, is because his "Square Deal" only meant punishing big business for cheating, not for merely succeeding.
Like it or not, the origins of progressivism as an idea began with Roosevelt. It was later co-opted by socialists as yet another tool in their mind games arsenal.
Lincoln was the real progressive origin.

U.S. entry into WWI was the worse geopolitical decision in human history.
No I'm not kidding.
Not only did it set the stage for WWII with the Versailles treaty, it also sucked the U.S. into the imperial machinations of the European powers, despite Wilson's high-minded ideals. Allied victory in WWI, which was made possible by U.S. involvement in the war, empowered the Europeans to pick apart the corpse of the Ottoman Empire, allowed them to entrench their interests in Asia and bolstered Japanese territorial claims. The U.S. picked a side in an imperial conflict for which it has NO stake in.
It wasn't the US entry into WWI that made US constant war involvement possible but it was Wilson's fault. Wilson had waged a bunch of intervention wars in Latin and South America before we entered WWI.

So to start I don’t like Wilson either his elitist idealistic rhetoric was terrible but what is the point of this argument? By no means would I call the US entry into the WWI as a “fiasco” since we tilted the war in favor of more democratic nations. In a strange way their argument is almost saying Germany should have one the war because then there would be no Nazi’s or communists. At this point the Germans had already smuggled Lenin back to Russia, the US had no part in that. If the war had drug out longer communism would have been more likely to take hold in France and Great Britain since their countries resources would have been furthered drained or destroyed. If you want to attack Wilson that’s fine but this argument takes the wrong lessons away from history.
U.S. entry into the war upset the balance of power which had existed in Europe since the end of the Napoleonic Era. Without American soldiers and industry might Europe would likely fought each other to a standstill as they had in 1870.
Furthermore, Wilson's idealistic vision for peace was completely unachievable not just domestically but in Europe as well. Britain and especially France wanted revenge, they were not going to let this bookish upstart from America tell them that they did not deserve a victor's peace. Again, American power afforded the victorious allies to impose their will upon a vanquished Germany and Wilson did not have the leverage to achieve otherwise.
Not taught in public schools.
