I'm Native. I've been saying this argument for ages. People usually don't believe me when I say that Hitler was inspired by the genocide of Native peoples like me. I wish we lived in the era where Nazi's were scared again. I think we should make that reality again.

When Americans think about Nazism, they tend to think of a funny-looking little man shouting "Nein! Nein! Nein!" - they typically treat it as something foreign, not as something that is intrinsically American. Friedrich Ratzel was a German geographer and ethnographer who lived from 1844 to 1904. Early in his career, he travelled to America and studied the USA's "Manifest Destiny". When he returned to Europe, he wrote a book about it, coining the term "Lebensraum". His ideas became popular in the German Empire and were used to convince settlers to move to the German colonies in Africa, and to justify the genocide of the native populations. When the Nazis took over, they recycled Ratzel's ideas, but applied them to Eastern Europe instead of Africa. So it's not that American fascists like Matt Walsh are using Nazi arguments - actually, it was the Nazis who used the rhetoric of American fascism and started WW2 in Europe because of it.
It was also rooted in the decline of European imperialism. Germany had been Europe's rising power and most people said it was poised to replace Britain but that didn't happen and it continued to decline. America is an empire in decline and fascism often is a reaction to that. An attempt to cling on to a sense of superiority rather than just accept reality and work within it. In the inter-war years while Germany was no longer the Continent's undisputed superpower it was still Europe's most populous country and a world leader in science and industry. If it had just remained like that it would have been larger and stronger today. But the desire of many especially in the military to return to a day of glory ultimately made things worse for everyone. The whole idea of the superiority of Germans was heavily rooted in denialism. They were trying to deny that Germany was not the dominant power of Europe anymore.
@linagreenlyfe6705 There's a picture of Hitler that was published in the German "Stern Magazin" in the year 2000 ("Der Teufel auf der Kiste", Stern 2/2000). The picture shows Hitler standing behind a guardrail on the deck of the battleship Bismarck, waving at a crowd of spectators. The photo was taken from one of the sailors and it reveals that Hitler is standing on a stool to make himself look taller. If that picture had been published back then, the photographer could have ended up in a concentration camp. Greatness isn't just about physical dimensions, it can also be about attitude. Hitler was a small man with delusions of grandeur. You can find that picture if you do a Google image search for "GRÖFAZ Der Größte Feldherr aller Zeiten auf der Kiste".
During Thanksgiving last year I had to hear from my family how they don't feel bad for what happened to indigenous people, using much the same arguments as Matt. They said they contributed nothing to the world. I pointed out that the potatoes, corn, turkey, tomatoes, and chocolate that we were eating were all originally cultivated by indigenous people. They didn't believe me, saying that tomatoes are from Italy and potatoes were from Ireland.
I wonder what are their feelings towards Arabs, Persians and Turks. I guess they see them as nothing but savages despite having contributed a lot to the world, particularly during the Middle Ages.
Yeah - I'm use to right wing BS but hearing a mainstream conservative talk openly about how genocide was good is pretty sickening and obviously shows how mask off they now are
That's because you're an ideologue. I disagree with him, but if you have a physical response to hearing an opinion you don't like, you have mental issues.
It annoys me but his is how history is taught if it isnt "woke", that genocide and subjigation from or for white supremacists of the past get watered down or rationalized as necessary and justified but only in other countries with brown or asian people, its bad. Or how America only shows Africa in a good light, if its tied to South Africa, despite it being one of the most racist countries in the 19th century.
As a Jew it always astonishes me how little non-Jewish Americans know about the Holocaust. Went on a school field trip to a Holocaust museum once and it was a very strange experience. Just seeing a lot of my peers learn about what was to me at least pretty central parts of the Nazi regime. Recently lost a friend to the Black Israelite movement and i cant help but think its a direct result of his lack of education on the topic. From Florida sadly btw.
there is just too much history to learn and to know. if it's not part of a country's history then a student won't learn much about it in schools. my country (the Netherlands) was occupied by the nazi regime, therefore it became a part of my country's history and therefore it was taught to me, in-depth. you probably can tell me much more about the Civil War than i was ever taught at school.
@Raziël lmao i wish atleast in Florida education on the civil war ranges from something that happened that ended slavery to something that happened that had nothing to do with slavery and was about states rights.

I'm American. I can confirm that we never learned anything about our genocidal and racist past. When I first heard about it, it was through the Internet and I also learned at least some of it late into high school and also in college. That's it. I feel ashamed of my country's past and ashamed for not knowing about it sooner than I did, even if neither were my fault. I am also ashamed that my country had yet to completely and fully admit to said past. I admire Germany's willingness to admit to its own awful past.
@@TheCosmicFailure that's amazing! In my school we covered a whole lot of different religions and mythos. The Egyptians, Romans, Indians. Norse mythology, Hinduism. So much stuff.

I suspect it's main purpose was to make money off 4th graders. Which that's fine. Point is, we didn't learn shit about our native peoples despite having a very diverse education. I wish we did. Ra is cool, but the native tribes in my area are much more relevant to me.
Matt talks like he would be high up in the food chain if we lived in a post apocalyptic world. He’s the kind of man that would sacrifice his own family so he can be safe.
Hey, my Dad sacrificed me during a crisis, then died from a heart attack anyway. I've only lost my Math talent, for now, and my prospects of holding a job, especially in Education which is where I excel. Nazism is literally incest-cannibal Neanderthal Warlord ideology.
The Holocaust Museum has an entire page about lebensraum, German for “living space.” And that page has information that essentially says that Hitler and the Nazis used the American treatment of Native Americans as an influence and a goal for how the Nazis wanted to use Eastern Europe, Soviet Union after they won the war.
So everyone heard that? Walsh endorses more powerful people taking stuff. A big group could colonize all of his stuff, that's what makes sense to him, sounds like permission

I'm a former Rogan listener, and what turned me off to him is realizing he would have been a Nazi. I used to think he would be a PG Wodehouse type--but he began to push back less and less and it made me realize he was becoming very sympathetic to fascism, because he started to accumulate wealth and started feeling like he could be insulated.
Notice how also in recent years he’s become more and more prone to believing insane conspiracy theories. Fascism requires conspiracy theories, and falling for them makes you more susceptible to fascist propaganda.
Judging from watching Rogan and some others (Maher, Miller, etc), it sure seems like, no matter how liberal they acted, when a person acquires a significant amount of money, they automatically also acquire a nearly sociopathic desire to make sure than no one ever takes a penny of it from them.
The kindest thing I can say about Rogan is that he seems very stupid instead of just malicious. He's probably spent years surrounding himself with and being lovebombed by the far right so now their beliefs are thoroughly mixed into the soup that occupies the space between his ears.
Rogan should've been left when he compared Black people to planet of the Apes and saying about his step biracial child saying that she had the body of a black person but the mind of a white person. So yeah it's very telling the type of person that he is
Bro, this country is fucking scary, my social studies teacher in highschool (I graduated 2016) spent weeks teaching us Ayn Rand, and my english teacher hosted a debate on "vaccination" where kids would come up and cry about how vaccines gave their syblings autism... It's funny, because even the selected works that were given to me on Ayn Rand were really suspect, her philosiphy in general really put me off, and I didn't know at the time just how full of shit she was. The popularity of Matt Walsh is really concerning though, thanks for the video.
My school did a damn good job for being in the south. we didn't read any ayn rand, but we read about christian missionaries making things fall apart in africa. making "fuck the police" part of history class, basically shitting on america to get us engaged in class discussions. i think the diversity really more than cancels out living in the south cuz my city is 50/50 pretty diverse, we have hbcus and civil rights museums and are just surrounded by allota red. which unfortunately makes us a target. they just caught a guy on A&T campus with a ton of weapons including holy water and a chainsaw, tons of guns and ammo

Had she been more consistent to her beliefs she would have opposed a big government meddling into the lives of the Natives and subjugating them to its laws.

Most Americans think of fascism in aesthetic ways ONLY. Uniforms, marching, arm salute, little mustache, government does "stuff". All we know is fascism bad, America fought Nazis, America good, therefore America can't be fascist. Nazis have been reduced to just being the bad guy in movies, doing comically evil things for no discernable reason. We're essentially taught you're able to identify "bad guys" by just looking at them, like a "vibe check". It's incredibly dangerous (and intentional) that most people don't recognize the tactics or talking points that fascists use to gain power.
100% thank you for pointing this out. It even comes back around further to support fascism because you're reducing a whole group of people to like a vibe check like you said. So all they need to do, is that *this group of people* also fails the vibe check essentially and then you have people saying that _____ is actually fascism when it's not.

@@notrod5341 It kind of seems like that feature of being induced by corporate profit motives, and enforced by hidden algorithms, may be a key feature that differentiates the modern "New Fascism" from the Fascism of the 1930s, even from Il Duce's ill-formed 'corporatismo' ideas. Technology has enabled an entirely new form of it, and I don't mean the ability for Fascists to organize and persuade on social media and exchange ideas. That's bad, but it's not actually a new thing. I mean specifically the kind of Fascism that happens without any real public discussion or input at all. Unlike Hitler, TH-cam has no need to deploy rhetoric and convince the public they are right. The public is hardly even aware they are doing anything in the first place. That's a new thing, I think, a Fascism that thrives on secrecy and public complacency, rather than ideology and public participation.
I learned a lot (for an American) about WWII and the genocide of natives. This is because I’m from Massachusetts, a blue state that always ranks top for public education, and I took AP classes in history. Something I wish we looked at more was the rhetoric of the Nazis. Mostly my teacher would say “hitler was pretty charismatic and was good at propaganda.” We never talk about Germany’s history of antisemitism and how the nazis co-opted that for their own political gain. We also never read texts from nazis, usually just secondary sources. I read a lot of texts from Holocaust survivors, and we looked at propaganda posters, but we never analyzed the rhetoric leading up to it. Suddenly it’s the 1930s and Germany is full of antisemitic Nazis. That’s the problem I had with my education
One day in May 1933, pristine white-shirted students marched in front of Berlin’s Institute for Sexual Research - that safe haven for LGBTQ people - calling it “Un-German.” Later, a mob hauled out its library to be burned. Later still, its acting head was arrested.
Failing crony Capitalism always leads into recession, depression,inflation when people are lead to believe things are changing for the worst and certain minorities are to blame so embrace fear of change, right there authoritarian fascism steps out of the shadows and seems like the better choice, time after time, all throughout history, the normies fall for this every time and many liberals just scoff and think they can reason it all away . Humanity is racing towards danger again. fascists gotta fascist.
Exactly! Edmund Burke was lukewarm to democracy at best because it risk unsettling nobles like himself and his peers. My teacher once told me "if voting changed anything, do you think they would let us do it?" I mean, look at the shit and hoops regular people had to jump through just to vote at all.
True, but some Social-Democrats and especially Centrists (and extremely rarely, Communists) also have a penchant to become that thing. But I guess you talk "systemically". Well, "systemically", Capitalism leads to Imperialism, which leads to Fascism in the absence of Socialism taking power, so almost everything could lead to Fascism, depending on how deep into Capitalism you are as a Nation and what kind of crises the system faces to resort to violence, and if the general populace is rebellious or not, and if yes, if they succesfully resist.
I would say that moderate conservatives tend to try and weaponise fascism like a rabid dog on a leash - dangerous but still very much under their control, but eventually that dog breaks free and mauls them along with everyone else.
I would argue that the United States has been a fascist country for a long time, it's fit the bill for ages. It's like a fascist state with two parties, one representing bare corporate fascism, the other representing that and christofascism.
I vote that some courageous, heroic Americans settle Matt Walsh’s house. He’s clearly never contributed to the world in a meaningful way, so breaking down his walls, eating his food, and selling him and his whole family into slavery can only be for the greater good of humanity as a whole.
This is one of the most informative things I have ever watched. As an American it never occurred to me that our genocide of the natives inspired Hitler. I never connected the dots between our manifest destiny and the living space Hitler wanted so bad. I never thought about how our nation did not have to reconcile our genocide. Great work and thank you for informing me.
What surprised me was that Hitler grew up reading the same kind of garbage, racist "Wild West" stories that I grew up on in the 60s. If anything, that crappy apologist take of "taming the savage land" was _more_ popular then than it had been while it was still actually happening. America was absolutely _mad_ for stories of slaughtering the barbaric natives, for most of the 50s and the 60s. I'll go out on a limb and say that nobody made that connection then, either. Rather than think about how Hitler was inspired by our forefathers, it may be useful for us to contemplate how we ourselves were raised on a steady diet of literal Fascist propaganda, decades after Hitler's defeat. (In fact, it occurs to me that the first of the big hit Western films we already appearing in the late 40s, immediately after the war.)

Russians never learned from history and are now making the same mistakes again. There is barely a difference between todays Russia and the Soviet Union of old. History is not 100 % repeating itself, but it has a tendency to rhyme. Plus, what was done back then, affects people in the present.

As a Hispanic w/a Mexican mother born & living in Texas, I find it humorous when I hear comments about how we should go back to Mexico…these brainlets don’t know that a large chunk of the southwest belonged to Mexico at one point.
and to the discussion of "barbarism": one of my academic mentors is an expert on human sacrifice and one thing she points out to this point about the alleged necessity of colonialism because of certain groups violent practices is that the very same conquistadors who were horrified by Mexica human sacrifice would take their kids to the public hanging in the square. She advocates for an expansion of what we include in our idea of human sacrifice. For example, Roman gladiators and beast hunts should be considered human sacrifice because these ceremonies were often dedicated to the gods and had cultural significance. The same thing goes for witch trials and public hangings and beheadings in the Europe that did the colonialism and used human sacrifice to justify it. TLDR human sacrifice bad, europeans also did human sacrifice so
Gladiators were more like professional boxer or wrestlers; yes, it was dangerous, but purposeful deaths were rare. Sometimes death penalties were made into shows where convicted people had to fight with each other or animals, or were tossed to animals, and those were really close to human sacrifices if not outright so. And public executions do take away value of life same way as human sacrifices.
I can see it, but I feel like there should still be more of a distinction than the examples you gave. As was pointed out, the gladiators were much more a sport than something one could associate with human sacrifice. I can agree with the witch trials, to a certain extent. Perhaps there should be an umbrella term for these things, or maybe there should be distinctions between “human sacrifice” as the umbrella term. While I agree with the concept your teacher is developing, when I think “human sacrifice” I generally think of a religious practice with semi-willing human participants that are offered/offer themselves to appease a deity to avoid a calamity. There isn’t much spectacle beyond the specific ritualism that goes into the sacrifice itself. Gladiatorial combat was as much about the fighting as it was anything else about it. Even the witch trials, to an extent, were a perverse exercise of a rampant mob justice system. Perhaps it ultimately boils down to ignorance in my part, through the vehicle of a flawed education system. Maybe the human sacrifices I learned about had more cultural, judicial, or athletic, significance to them that I’m unaware of. However, if they don’t, I still think that human sacrifices, gladiatorial combat, and witch trials, would still be distinct enough to require their own specific subset descriptions if they were all brought together under an umbrella term.
I'd say holy wars and conversions at gunpoint are about as bad as human sacrifice; they're all killing in the name of a religion. And Discovery-Age Spain was the same Spain of the Spanish Inquisition, which extended into the New World.
I’m 16 and trans, and unfortunately I didn’t get taught too much about the extent of the holocaust and other genocides, so I’m still learning things even now, and this was a great video!

Well, both Australia and America were founded by the same nation of arrogant colonizers so it's perhaps no surprise we both did colonizing with the same rhetoric. The roots of Fascism are found in the attitudes of colonial Britain. Who knew?
Sherman Alexie explains in his writings how the natives had very different concepts of land and property ownership. It wasn't an exclusive deal. Land and property were meant to be used for the good of all. So when the natives entered into agreements with the settlers, and then the settlers acted like the land now belonged exclusively to them and tried to back this up with force, of course this angered the natives.
There was also the doctrine of discover that stated no non Christian could legitimately own property so the colonizers also entered into treaties they were well aware were legally worthless and could be violated and they regularly were.

A lot of ignorant conservatives in the comments here. It's not AT ALL controversial to say that right wing america is explicitly fascist, that conservativism is inherently at least slightly fascistic or that fascism is by definition a right-wing ideology. It's well established and anyone who have analyzed even a little bit of fascist and conservative rhetoric would see it. Fascisms core trends are: Obsession with preservation of tradition, emphasis on the 'natural order' of hierarchy, percieved danger of progressives destroying the 'natural order', contempt for marxism, opposition to feminism/socialism/animal rights/gay/trans rights/ multiculturalism/disability rights etc, contempt for non-standard sexual expressions (gay/trans people), contempt and distrust for femininity/softness/empathy/'the weak', emphasis on myth/religion as instruments of social order (not nececcarily literal truth), distrust of intellectuals/academia/scientists, want to eliminate progressive institutions (critical and progressive academia), theocratic tendencies. Often patriotism or nationalism, emphasis of 'western civilization' or ones nation as supreme. This is EXPLICITLY, nazis and right wing persons STATED ideas and goals. This is fascism. The more threatening they percieve "progressive marxists" to be to 'the natural order' of their society, the more they tend to genocide of some or many minorities that are recieveing rights and recognition from the progressive left - which fascism thinks is 'degenerating' traditional orderly categories, which they take as the core of their society. First it is "we don't want them visible in society", then it is "they shoul not exist like that, they must conform or go away", then the final conclusion is to actually persecute them. Strip them of rights, bully them, sow disgust for them, emptionally, mentally, and finally physically harming them. Tell me the american conservatives aren't currently running a campaign exactly like that, towards trans people. I've read both mein kamph and Anders Breiviks manifesto (norwegian right wing mass murderer) and their ideology is virtually identical to american conservativism. As in the trends I listen above. The american conservatives are just not that explicit and are not yet explicitly calling for violence. They only strongly imply it, and sometimes explicitly defend it. The american conservatives might not all be full fledged fascists, but it IS strongly and exponentially FASCISTIC, and for the most part explicitly fascist. Definitionally so. It's not in the slightest controversial to anyone who has read anything relevant. Fascism is reactionary against progressivism. It's inherenlty irrational, conservative and internally self-contradictory. It's fear based, but seeks to transmute fear and frustration through populist appeal and rhetoric, to inspire anger and contempt for the percieved "threat" of progress and it's symtoms - visible minorities.

On the topic of Americans actually confronting our country's past, I am of the opinion that most conservatives are not capable of empathy until they find themselves in that position they previously lambasted another for being in. It's why we get phenomenon like "The Only Moral Abortion is MY Abortion" from conservative women or how conservative men talk about "The Right of Conquest" until the day they feel their personal sovereignty has been challenged.
Or like how conservatives rail against "big government" and "overreach" but invariably support the most draconian laws that restrict human behavior, as long as its not their own behavior being outlawed.

Ayn Rand and Matt Walsh are basically saying animals don't deserve to live because they are not as technologically advanced. They view Native Americans as animals.
That is not true. A human being who values the lives of others is not the same as that uncivilized human being who thinks he can take as many lives as he wants. Ayn Rand referred to the seconds. Many native peoples were violent with other natives. The history of the conquest of America is full of examples of native peoples allied with Europeans fighting other hostile natives. The best example is the conquest of Mexico, which is a conquest of the natives themselves helped by 200 Spaniards and Hernán Cortez.
Not to mention that the fundamental difference is not technological, nor biological, but cultural. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to live in a culture where you can be snatched from your home and taken to the top of a pyramid to have your heart ripped out to prevent the corn from getting weevils.

The quotes from Ayn Rand shows how awful American libertarianism is, or at least the ones that evoke Ayn Rand's name as an influence in their political and economic beliefs.
Once you start digging into it you quickly realize what an elitist ideology it is at the core. I've seen many libertarians who despite all the talks about "freedom", were some of the most staunch defenders of dictatorships (Pinochet, Franco), monarchies and the Lost Cause. Take a look at Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell, Hans Herman Hoppe, etc.
@@marcello7781 My father is like this, at its core libertarianism is supremacist, it believes in hierarchies being something inherent to 'human nature' and sees capitalism as a way to determine who 'deserves' to be at the top, when libertarians talk about 'free speech', 'property rights', etc; they are not including those that are at the 'bottom' of the piramid because they are seen as inherently lesser and deserving of any blight that they may suffer; it is why so many libertarians praise when some minority achieves a priviledge position because it 'proves' that is possible and therefore anyone who doesn't achieve it deserves to be where they are and if they happen to not be completely apathetic or acknoledge that there might be some 'good' people there they will engage in performative, self-complacent acts of charity like giving a homeless person a penny while vehemently opposing any attemp to help homeless people as a collective.
She must be inspiring to them due to her hypocrisy as well. She spent her final years in the US but was never a landed immigrant or citizen, so she was undocumented, and she survived by collecting Social Security, which every libertarian is against. I thought that anyone too old to work but with no savings had to be put to sleep.
So, if someone broke his door down, beat him in a fight, and shot his kids, Matt would follow his statements through and declare that person as his master and a hero.
13:48 he talks about how great this is, but if we still lived like this, Matt Walsh isnt taking anything from anybody and he and his family are starving to death. Unless his wife is a huntress of some sort, they're starving.
As far as the Soviets go, while I would say comparing them to the Nazi's in general is lazy. The moving around of populations under thier control was to a level driven by a goal to destroy regional and local identities and "Sovietize" the population. Which can be argued to be a kind of cultural genocide. You can also argue a few of the famines were partially driven by an attempt to destroy certain racial and cultural groups.
On the first, absolutely. On the second, absolutely not. The Soviet famine was exactly as "man-made" as every other one in history. Historians are pretty much universally agreed that the "holodomor" was the result of failed collectivization efforts and a poor harvest, and not a deliberate attempt to persecute anyone. The last serious historian to suggest it was a genocide was Robert Conquest, a self-described "cold warrior" on the side of the USA, who predicted that the opening of the Soviet archives would support his position that the famine was a deliberate act of persecution. Instead, to his credit (he was a serious historian, after all!) he was forced to concede they showed the exact opposite - Soviet leadership saw the great famine as a huge tragedy and a propaganda defeat. This was the exact opposite of what they wanted! Collectivizing agriculture was supposed to end famine, was supposed to massively improve their agriculture and give them food security, after all, autarky was a major goal of the Soviet union. If you remember this the idea that the famine was deliberately inflicted on anyone becomes an obvious nonsense. It's also worth recognising that, after the great famine, the Soviets *did* end the centuries-old pattern of regular famines in the region. But that's not to say the Soviets did nothing wrong! Stalin sent aid (which seems odd if this were deliberate persecution, but I digress), but it was inadequate - and the opening of the archives revealed that the reason for this inadequacy is because Stalin wanted to keep the famine quiet, as it was (as I mentioned earlier) a major failure of Soviet ideology and a huge propaganda defeat. This is the actual crime of Stalin - he was willing to let his people starve to death to avoid taking a political hit. Absolutely ghoulish and evil behaviour, and I would call it a crime against humanity! But not a deliberate act of persecution, not a genocide.
This, a good thing coming from a bad thing in the long run doesnt make the bad thing good. By matts logic the holocaust was a good thing because it got us einstein in america and project paperclip got us on the moon
Exactly, another thing is that you need to look at the past through the eyes of a person of that time. In the future our descendants might look at us like if we were the assholes.

I’m a Social Studies teacher in the US. I can promise you most kids now know the bad shit Columbus did and don’t like him. In my own classroom, when it was Columbus Day, all of my students were shitting on him, and instead, we celebrated the other holiday on that day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
@@jokehu7115 It doesn’t sound healthy for kids to know that Columbus committed genocide and that it’s bad, and openly expressing that it was terrible? Okay, go off.
@@klrl93 no these are historical People that lived centuries ago. Its the job of the teacher to just say the facts; good and bad. Like i dont get American culture on historical people. It feels like it’s more about emotion than trying to learn what happened in the text, why it was written down and what this meant in the big picture.
@@jokehu7115 And I did tell them the facts of the matter, and their reaction was negative because genocide is awful. Part of my job is to teach them empathy and critical thinking. I did not lead them to disliking Columbus, they already had that feeling because of his raping an murdering of indigenous people. I stated that he claimed to discover America and he did some pretty cruel things. Many students stated, “No he didn’t, there were people here already. Didn’t he kill a bunch of people? So why do we celebrate him?” I gave them an alternative with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Middle school students can come to those conclusions on their own with basic facts given to them.
@@klrl93 yeah honestly good job, be objective, tell the truth, and try learling what the sources meant. Dont lean in the innocent nature indian but also not the savage one. Race is bullshit only people in power and being afraid you don’t understand matter. But now im saying my political leaning so oops hahhaha
Some Native Americans weren't allowed to practice their religions in certain states up to the middle-late 1900s, and some of the church re-education schools for indigenous children were only closed in the 1990s. The repression isn't ancient history, parts of it still happen today. It's not the soul-ripping stuff of the past, but it's still sad.
I often disagree with you on stuff. But your analysis at the start of this video is really solid. So many people don't even know what fascism is. Like, they think that for a state or group of people to be fascist they have to be there with death camps and a whole war machine on day 1. So many are so comfortable in our relatively stable society that we've all grown up in, that they just don't even recognise these fascists that are gaining more and more prominence for what they are. Matt Walsh is absurd with his Back to the Future what ifs. Ridiculous person. And he says how no black American would want to leave for an African country, well of course not, they're Americans that have grown up their whole lives in America. Idiotic justifications for having committed atrocities.
I think it's because Ben Shapiro comes off more as an opportunist and Jordan Peterson gives more "old man yelling at clouds," especially these days. Matt Walsh is so much more actively, knowingly malignant than either of them, and doesn't put much effort into trying to convince you otherwise. He's basically a walking example of the "Death of a Euphemism". Jordan and Shapiro could have been Fox news talking heads 20 years ago. Matt Walsh could only exist after 2016, when being unapologetically monstrous was objectively proven to be a winning strategy for conservative politics at the national level. People watch Ben Shapiro when they want to feel rational and superior. They watch Jordan Peterson when they want to feel deep. No one watches Matt Walsh for any of those things. They watch him to feel that any word or act of pure, unfiltered hatred they could possibly conjure would be righteous, applauded, and in the grand scheme of things, kinder to future generations that will no longer have to share the world with whatever he's telling them to destroy. He's offering his audience what many if them have always wanted: absolution through violence. In short, a crusade.
i don't understand what walsh's probkem is... why cant you just say: "wow, what our ancestors did was terrible. im sorry for what was done to your ancestors. lets make sure something like that won't happen again." acknowledging your ancestors flaws doesnt make you personally a part of what happened two centuries ago.
I know, this just baffles me as a white Aussie. I have no problems saying the white invaders here committed genocide, & I benefit from it today. And even though it wasn't specifically my blood ancestors, that's only cos the invaders had been so "successful" before they arrived there was virtually no-one left to harm. They would've agreed with those actions though, & most importantly, they & I benefited hugely from the stolen land & our white privilege.
The reason is it cuz he's a fucking animal and he wants to keep all of that barbaric Behavior wide open for him to potentially engage in whenever he feels like it. He's a very very stupid and uneducated man and talks himself around in bulshit circles like people who don't know anything often do
@@BradLad56 LOL, you have no idea who my ancestors were. And you're deliberately misunderstanding my comment: I said myself that my ancestors arrived AFTER the invasion & genocide, _& that it's irrelevant._ You clearly don't understand Aussie history either, if you think the fact that they dragged out boatloads of convicts & set up a penal colony somehow means it wasn't an invasion. ...But hey, maybe you're one of those people who deny that ANY European colonisation was an invasion.
While I completely disagree with the Daily Wire folks, I must say that I found the way you described how the history of Soviet war crimes in eastern europe was written by Germans highly problematic. These war crimes are pretty much confirmed at this point, and even soviet soldiers admitted them.
Matt Walsh has logic is like a murderer going around killing people and then being like well look if I didn't go around killing those people you guys would have never had the opportunity to catch me.
Fuck this is a good one. Really deep dive and profoundly unsettling to see it laid out like this. This goes hard. More people need to know the stuff this vid goes into.
From their perspective those pesky Latinos are actually superior. They not only steal jobs - they also are lazy and abuse social programs. I couldn't do both at the same time. I'm too white apparently It's the same thing with antisemitism. The way they describe Jewish people makes me think that they're inherently superior. Why persecute them then?
I can't speak for all Americans but the only people I know who still celebrate Columbus are mostly older and white and most likely conservative, also many Italian Americans use him as symbol for Italian pride for some reason even though the things he did were not for Italy
I didn't say I thought he was one nationality or another. I merely stated the fact that many Italian Americans celebrate him as part of Italian American heritage. Similar to the way Rastafarians celebrate Hailie Selassie even though he was not involved nor believed in their religion.
@@MalBeats I know, I was just saying that it's ridiculous that the "Italian"americans celebrate Columbus day, because he was genovese (not Italian), he only served the Spanish and he was a piece of shit.
I think they focus on men becoming women also because they see “women” as objects to gratify them and so they can’t fathom anyone being a woman who isn’t for that purpose. That’s why they get so mad when a larger woman is in a swimsuit magazine too. They can’t just not look if they don’t like it, they become furious. They don’t see women as humans.

"Why is America so DAMN BIG?" By BadEmpanada Is an excellent video on some of the historical throughlines of the ideologies of Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum. Definitely worth consideration as are many of the videos he makes... on his main. His second channel is much more, uncouth.
BadEmpanada is a wild character who seems genuinely driven to argue against the dumbest ideas out there, not motivated by money or fame, those are just a means to an end to keep up his platform of being passionately argumentative afloat. He is a very educated dude who is firm in his logic, almost always providing compelling arguments that are grounded in morality, a vast knowledge of history and politics. He seems personally angered by atrocities and injustices which reveals he has a genuine and deep empathy and a sense of humanity, but somehow he's kind of unlikable and antisocial. A true enigma who has definitely shone a light on some very important topics in a rigorous and detailed approach.
@@sammfshieldsYup that's how I feel about him. Genuinely passionate guy who cares in an antisocial way lol. I wish he cleaned up his act, it really let's people dismiss him easily when he does insane shit like harass people on twitter
So, the people who came to America and claimed the land were heroes for doing so? I'm glad Matt Walsh thinks that! I guess that means he will welcome other people coming to America from different countries, claiming the land as their own and integrating their culture into it!
I'm 40 years old and watching this video today is the first time I'm hearing about how Hitler was inspired by the the American West. It's easy to keep a nation complacent when you keep them ignorant.
I’d like to live in a time when “genocide bad actually” isn’t controversial
Apparently that time hasn't existed yet, which is terrifying.
And I'd like to live in a world where anyone slightly to the right of Mao isn't straight up labeled a nazi.
That will never happen we are humans and humans are naturally bad. Our Neo Pagan movements and ethno nationalist movements will win white ethnostates are the future.
It’s not controversial commie
I'm Native. I've been saying this argument for ages. People usually don't believe me when I say that Hitler was inspired by the genocide of Native peoples like me. I wish we lived in the era where Nazi's were scared again. I think we should make that reality again.
Seeing as I was actually taught these things were bad in school, I am really amazed at how much the School system glorifies some of our history.
The Jews had it worse than your people since the Romans. And there is a lot of examples though history, and much closer to Germany.
It really boils down to "the strong win over the weak, that's how it's always been and that's how it should be."
its scary how uneducated people are in america, and it isnt a mistake

Matt Walsh: punches a baby in the face
Matt Walsh: Why should I be ashamed of my victory? Simply because I am better at fighting than this baby? I won this war, and I am proud of it. I will never apologize. I won't be silenced.
Could also work as Matt Walsh defense argument for murder.
He also thinks drug dealers should be executed.
For someone who claim to be pro-life, he sure does find ways to negotiate the idea that killing people is based in some instances.
That's more Dennis Prager
@@julesdalli9716 that’s because he wants to kill black and poor people.
Are you comparing the colonists killing the natives to an adult hitting a baby? I hope you see how that’s counterintuitive to your argument.
When Americans think about Nazism, they tend to think of a funny-looking little man shouting "Nein! Nein! Nein!" - they typically treat it as something foreign, not as something that is intrinsically American.
Friedrich Ratzel was a German geographer and ethnographer who lived from 1844 to 1904.
Early in his career, he travelled to America and studied the USA's "Manifest Destiny". When he returned to Europe, he wrote a book about it, coining the term "Lebensraum".
His ideas became popular in the German Empire and were used to convince settlers to move to the German colonies in Africa, and to justify the genocide of the native populations.
When the Nazis took over, they recycled Ratzel's ideas, but applied them to Eastern Europe instead of Africa.
So it's not that American fascists like Matt Walsh are using Nazi arguments - actually, it was the Nazis who used the rhetoric of American fascism and started WW2 in Europe because of it.
Wow the more you know
"America First" was first coined by a Nazi apologist, the Nazi Regime also drew a lot of inspiration from American segregation and Jim Crow.
It was also rooted in the decline of European imperialism. Germany had been Europe's rising power and most people said it was poised to replace Britain but that didn't happen and it continued to decline. America is an empire in decline and fascism often is a reaction to that. An attempt to cling on to a sense of superiority rather than just accept reality and work within it.
In the inter-war years while Germany was no longer the Continent's undisputed superpower it was still Europe's most populous country and a world leader in science and industry. If it had just remained like that it would have been larger and stronger today. But the desire of many especially in the military to return to a day of glory ultimately made things worse for everyone.
The whole idea of the superiority of Germans was heavily rooted in denialism. They were trying to deny that Germany was not the dominant power of Europe anymore.
1) This needs to be top comment
2) Hitler wasn't a funny little man. In fact, he was 5'10" which is somewhat tall for that time period
@linagreenlyfe6705 There's a picture of Hitler that was published in the German "Stern Magazin" in the year 2000 ("Der Teufel auf der Kiste", Stern 2/2000).
The picture shows Hitler standing behind a guardrail on the deck of the battleship Bismarck, waving at a crowd of spectators. The photo was taken from one of the sailors and it reveals that Hitler is standing on a stool to make himself look taller. If that picture had been published back then, the photographer could have ended up in a concentration camp.
Greatness isn't just about physical dimensions, it can also be about attitude.
Hitler was a small man with delusions of grandeur.
You can find that picture if you do a Google image search for "GRÖFAZ Der Größte Feldherr aller Zeiten auf der Kiste".
During Thanksgiving last year I had to hear from my family how they don't feel bad for what happened to indigenous people, using much the same arguments as Matt. They said they contributed nothing to the world. I pointed out that the potatoes, corn, turkey, tomatoes, and chocolate that we were eating were all originally cultivated by indigenous people. They didn't believe me, saying that tomatoes are from Italy and potatoes were from Ireland.
Thank you for at least trying to get through to your family
You ate tomatoes during Thanksgiving? That's just wrong.
Tomatoes are fascists
I wonder what are their feelings towards Arabs, Persians and Turks. I guess they see them as nothing but savages despite having contributed a lot to the world, particularly during the Middle Ages.
@@marcello7781 Everyone is a savage if your audience is stupid enough.

It literally made my stomach turn hearing Matt Walsh talk about the courageous American colonizers.
Yeah - I'm use to right wing BS but hearing a mainstream conservative talk openly about how genocide was good is pretty sickening and obviously shows how mask off they now are
@The Kavernacle just curious what made you a communist what made you see the lies of the American government and neoliberal capitalism
That's because you're an ideologue. I disagree with him, but if you have a physical response to hearing an opinion you don't like, you have mental issues.
It annoys me but his is how history is taught if it isnt "woke", that genocide and subjigation from or for white supremacists of the past get watered down or rationalized as necessary and justified but only in other countries with brown or asian people, its bad. Or how America only shows Africa in a good light, if its tied to South Africa, despite it being one of the most racist countries in the 19th century.
They should feel the same about illegal immigrants - brave, slow-moving colonizers.
As a Jew it always astonishes me how little non-Jewish Americans know about the Holocaust. Went on a school field trip to a Holocaust museum once and it was a very strange experience. Just seeing a lot of my peers learn about what was to me at least pretty central parts of the Nazi regime. Recently lost a friend to the Black Israelite movement and i cant help but think its a direct result of his lack of education on the topic. From Florida sadly btw.
Jewish history is marvelous and super relevant, people need to study and learn more about it.
there is just too much history to learn and to know. if it's not part of a country's history then a student won't learn much about it in schools.
my country (the Netherlands) was occupied by the nazi regime, therefore it became a part of my country's history and therefore it was taught to me, in-depth.
you probably can tell me much more about the Civil War than i was ever taught at school.
That sucks. Leave Florida if you can...
@Raziël lmao i wish atleast in Florida education on the civil war ranges from something that happened that ended slavery to something that happened that had nothing to do with slavery and was about states rights.

I'm American. I can confirm that we never learned anything about our genocidal and racist past. When I first heard about it, it was through the Internet and I also learned at least some of it late into high school and also in college. That's it. I feel ashamed of my country's past and ashamed for not knowing about it sooner than I did, even if neither were my fault. I am also ashamed that my country had yet to completely and fully admit to said past. I admire Germany's willingness to admit to its own awful past.
I'm American and I did. My 8th grade teacher took over half of our term about the native Americans. We even had to research tribes for our projects.
@@TheCosmicFailure that's amazing! In my school we covered a whole lot of different religions and mythos. The Egyptians, Romans, Indians. Norse mythology, Hinduism. So much stuff.
I remember a single day where the native Americans were mentioned. Along with a two day field trip to a Native American, "experience," and teaching place. We didn't learn much there. I suspect it's main purpose was to make money off 4th graders. Which that's fine.
Point is, we didn't learn shit about our native peoples despite having a very diverse education. I wish we did. Ra is cool, but the native tribes in my area are much more relevant to me.
My education had an entire unit committed to native communities. What they didn't mention was the massacre of them...
Most Americans learn the basics. The scarry thing is politicians trying to remove those lessons.
Matt talks like he would be high up in the food chain if we lived in a post apocalyptic world. He’s the kind of man that would sacrifice his own family so he can be safe.
Hey, my Dad sacrificed me during a crisis, then died from a heart attack anyway. I've only lost my Math talent, for now, and my prospects of holding a job, especially in Education which is where I excel. Nazism is literally incest-cannibal Neanderthal Warlord ideology.

@Fidel Catto
That would be the best case scenario
The Holocaust Museum has an entire page about lebensraum, German for “living space.” And that page has information that essentially says that Hitler and the Nazis used the American treatment of Native Americans as an influence and a goal for how the Nazis wanted to use Eastern Europe, Soviet Union after they won the war.
So everyone heard that? Walsh endorses more powerful people taking stuff. A big group could colonize all of his stuff, that's what makes sense to him, sounds like permission

I'm a former Rogan listener, and what turned me off to him is realizing he would have been a Nazi. I used to think he would be a PG Wodehouse type--but he began to push back less and less and it made me realize he was becoming very sympathetic to fascism, because he started to accumulate wealth and started feeling like he could be insulated.
Notice how also in recent years he’s become more and more prone to believing insane conspiracy theories. Fascism requires conspiracy theories, and falling for them makes you more susceptible to fascist propaganda.
Judging from watching Rogan and some others (Maher, Miller, etc), it sure seems like, no matter how liberal they acted, when a person acquires a significant amount of money, they automatically also acquire a nearly sociopathic desire to make sure than no one ever takes a penny of it from them.
You would have been a nazi too
The kindest thing I can say about Rogan is that he seems very stupid instead of just malicious. He's probably spent years surrounding himself with and being lovebombed by the far right so now their beliefs are thoroughly mixed into the soup that occupies the space between his ears.
Rogan should've been left when he compared Black people to planet of the Apes and saying about his step biracial child saying that she had the body of a black person but the mind of a white person. So yeah it's very telling the type of person that he is
Bro, this country is fucking scary, my social studies teacher in highschool (I graduated 2016) spent weeks teaching us Ayn Rand, and my english teacher hosted a debate on "vaccination" where kids would come up and cry about how vaccines gave their syblings autism...

The popularity of Matt Walsh is really concerning though, thanks for the video.
The sad truth is that America isn't the perfect country.
You should check out Radical Reviewer's videos on Ayn Rand books. He does a pretty good breakdown of why her entire philosophy is shit.
My school did a damn good job for being in the south. we didn't read any ayn rand, but we read about christian missionaries making things fall apart in africa. making "fuck the police" part of history class, basically shitting on america to get us engaged in class discussions. i think the diversity really more than cancels out living in the south cuz my city is 50/50 pretty diverse, we have hbcus and civil rights museums and are just surrounded by allota red. which unfortunately makes us a target. they just caught a guy on A&T campus with a ton of weapons including holy water and a chainsaw, tons of guns and ammo

Most Americans think of fascism in aesthetic ways ONLY. Uniforms, marching, arm salute, little mustache, government does "stuff". All we know is fascism bad, America fought Nazis, America good, therefore America can't be fascist. Nazis have been reduced to just being the bad guy in movies, doing comically evil things for no discernable reason. We're essentially taught you're able to identify "bad guys" by just looking at them, like a "vibe check".
It's incredibly dangerous (and intentional) that most people don't recognize the tactics or talking points that fascists use to gain power.
100% thank you for pointing this out. It even comes back around further to support fascism because you're reducing a whole group of people to like a vibe check like you said. So all they need to do, is that *this group of people* also fails the vibe check essentially and then you have people saying that _____ is actually fascism when it's not.

@@notrod5341 It kind of seems like that feature of being induced by corporate profit motives, and enforced by hidden algorithms, may be a key feature that differentiates the modern "New Fascism" from the Fascism of the 1930s, even from Il Duce's ill-formed 'corporatismo' ideas. Technology has enabled an entirely new form of it, and I don't mean the ability for Fascists to organize and persuade on social media and exchange ideas. That's bad, but it's not actually a new thing. I mean specifically the kind of Fascism that happens without any real public discussion or input at all. Unlike Hitler, TH-cam has no need to deploy rhetoric and convince the public they are right. The public is hardly even aware they are doing anything in the first place. That's a new thing, I think, a Fascism that thrives on secrecy and public complacency, rather than ideology and public participation.
Even worse that you can say Nazi shit and not be demonitized.
I learned a lot (for an American) about WWII and the genocide of natives. This is because I’m from Massachusetts, a blue state that always ranks top for public education, and I took AP classes in history. Something I wish we looked at more was the rhetoric of the Nazis. Mostly my teacher would say “hitler was pretty charismatic and was good at propaganda.” We never talk about Germany’s history of antisemitism and how the nazis co-opted that for their own political gain. We also never read texts from nazis, usually just secondary sources. I read a lot of texts from Holocaust survivors, and we looked at propaganda posters, but we never analyzed the rhetoric leading up to it. Suddenly it’s the 1930s and Germany is full of antisemitic Nazis. That’s the problem I had with my education
One day in May 1933, pristine white-shirted students marched in front of Berlin’s Institute for Sexual Research - that safe haven for LGBTQ people - calling it “Un-German.” Later, a mob hauled out its library to be burned. Later still, its acting head was arrested.
The rights natural evolution always leads to fascism.
Failing crony Capitalism always leads into recession, depression,inflation when people are lead to believe things are changing for the worst and certain minorities are to blame so embrace fear of change, right there authoritarian fascism steps out of the shadows and seems like the better choice, time after time, all throughout history, the normies fall for this every time and many liberals just scoff and think they can reason it all away . Humanity is racing towards danger again. fascists gotta fascist.
Wait, it's all Fascist?
Always has been.
Exactly! Edmund Burke was lukewarm to democracy at best because it risk unsettling nobles like himself and his peers. My teacher once told me "if voting changed anything, do you think they would let us do it?"
I mean, look at the shit and hoops regular people had to jump through just to vote at all.
True, but some Social-Democrats and especially Centrists (and extremely rarely, Communists) also have a penchant to become that thing. But I guess you talk "systemically". Well, "systemically", Capitalism leads to Imperialism, which leads to Fascism in the absence of Socialism taking power, so almost everything could lead to Fascism, depending on how deep into Capitalism you are as a Nation and what kind of crises the system faces to resort to violence, and if the general populace is rebellious or not, and if yes, if they succesfully resist.
I would say that moderate conservatives tend to try and weaponise fascism like a rabid dog on a leash - dangerous but still very much under their control, but eventually that dog breaks free and mauls them along with everyone else.
I would argue that the United States has been a fascist country for a long time, it's fit the bill for ages. It's like a fascist state with two parties, one representing bare corporate fascism, the other representing that and christofascism.
I vote that some courageous, heroic Americans settle Matt Walsh’s house. He’s clearly never contributed to the world in a meaningful way, so breaking down his walls, eating his food, and selling him and his whole family into slavery can only be for the greater good of humanity as a whole.
This is one of the most informative things I have ever watched. As an American it never occurred to me that our genocide of the natives inspired Hitler. I never connected the dots between our manifest destiny and the living space Hitler wanted so bad. I never thought about how our nation did not have to reconcile our genocide. Great work and thank you for informing me.
The Nazi "Lebensraum Theory" is literally based on America's "Manifest Destiny".
Look up Friedrich Ratzel.
Go read about how Hitler was inspired by eugenics in the US and you’ll realize how stupid IQ tests are and how much this shi still oppresses people
The segregation inspired him too.
Our treatment of Black people during Jim Crow laws were a direct inspiration as well.
What surprised me was that Hitler grew up reading the same kind of garbage, racist "Wild West" stories that I grew up on in the 60s. If anything, that crappy apologist take of "taming the savage land" was _more_ popular then than it had been while it was still actually happening. America was absolutely _mad_ for stories of slaughtering the barbaric natives, for most of the 50s and the 60s. I'll go out on a limb and say that nobody made that connection then, either.
Rather than think about how Hitler was inspired by our forefathers, it may be useful for us to contemplate how we ourselves were raised on a steady diet of literal Fascist propaganda, decades after Hitler's defeat. (In fact, it occurs to me that the first of the big hit Western films we already appearing in the late 40s, immediately after the war.)

Russians never learned from history and are now making the same mistakes again. There is barely a difference between todays Russia and the Soviet Union of old. History is not 100 % repeating itself, but it has a tendency to rhyme.

As a Hispanic w/a Mexican mother born & living in Texas, I find it humorous when I hear comments about how we should go back to Mexico…these brainlets don’t know that a large chunk of the southwest belonged to Mexico at one point.
and to the discussion of "barbarism": one of my academic mentors is an expert on human sacrifice and one thing she points out to this point about the alleged necessity of colonialism because of certain groups violent practices is that the very same conquistadors who were horrified by Mexica human sacrifice would take their kids to the public hanging in the square. She advocates for an expansion of what we include in our idea of human sacrifice. For example, Roman gladiators and beast hunts should be considered human sacrifice because these ceremonies were often dedicated to the gods and had cultural significance. The same thing goes for witch trials and public hangings and beheadings in the Europe that did the colonialism and used human sacrifice to justify it. TLDR human sacrifice bad, europeans also did human sacrifice so
Gladiators were more like professional boxer or wrestlers; yes, it was dangerous, but purposeful deaths were rare.
Sometimes death penalties were made into shows where convicted people had to fight with each other or animals, or were tossed to animals, and those were really close to human sacrifices if not outright so.
And public executions do take away value of life same way as human sacrifices.
Witch trials were a little more than mere human sacrifice I think…l
I can see it, but I feel like there should still be more of a distinction than the examples you gave. As was pointed out, the gladiators were much more a sport than something one could associate with human sacrifice. I can agree with the witch trials, to a certain extent.
Perhaps there should be an umbrella term for these things, or maybe there should be distinctions between “human sacrifice” as the umbrella term. While I agree with the concept your teacher is developing, when I think “human sacrifice” I generally think of a religious practice with semi-willing human participants that are offered/offer themselves to appease a deity to avoid a calamity. There isn’t much spectacle beyond the specific ritualism that goes into the sacrifice itself.
Gladiatorial combat was as much about the fighting as it was anything else about it.
Even the witch trials, to an extent, were a perverse exercise of a rampant mob justice system.
Perhaps it ultimately boils down to ignorance in my part, through the vehicle of a flawed education system. Maybe the human sacrifices I learned about had more cultural, judicial, or athletic, significance to them that I’m unaware of. However, if they don’t, I still think that human sacrifices, gladiatorial combat, and witch trials, would still be distinct enough to require their own specific subset descriptions if they were all brought together under an umbrella term.
I'd say holy wars and conversions at gunpoint are about as bad as human sacrifice; they're all killing in the name of a religion. And Discovery-Age Spain was the same Spain of the Spanish Inquisition, which extended into the New World.

Sherman Alexie explains in his writings how the natives had very different concepts of land and property ownership. It wasn't an exclusive deal. Land and property were meant to be used for the good of all. So when the natives entered into agreements with the settlers, and then the settlers acted like the land now belonged exclusively to them and tried to back this up with force, of course this angered the natives.
There was also the doctrine of discover that stated no non Christian could legitimately own property so the colonizers also entered into treaties they were well aware were legally worthless and could be violated and they regularly were.

POW POW, Rambo, John Wayne! 6:12, yeah it’s exactly like that.
A lot of ignorant conservatives in the comments here.
It's not AT ALL controversial to say that right wing america is explicitly fascist, that conservativism is inherently at least slightly fascistic or that fascism is by definition a right-wing ideology. It's well established and anyone who have analyzed even a little bit of fascist and conservative rhetoric would see it.
Fascisms core trends are: Obsession with preservation of tradition, emphasis on the 'natural order' of hierarchy, percieved danger of progressives destroying the 'natural order', contempt for marxism, opposition to feminism/socialism/animal rights/gay/trans rights/ multiculturalism/disability rights etc, contempt for non-standard sexual expressions (gay/trans people), contempt and distrust for femininity/softness/empathy/'the weak', emphasis on myth/religion as instruments of social order (not nececcarily literal truth), distrust of intellectuals/academia/scientists, want to eliminate progressive institutions (critical and progressive academia), theocratic tendencies. Often patriotism or nationalism, emphasis of 'western civilization' or ones nation as supreme.
This is EXPLICITLY, nazis and right wing persons STATED ideas and goals. This is fascism.
The more threatening they percieve "progressive marxists" to be to 'the natural order' of their society, the more they tend to genocide of some or many minorities that are recieveing rights and recognition from the progressive left - which fascism thinks is 'degenerating' traditional orderly categories, which they take as the core of their society. First it is "we don't want them visible in society", then it is "they shoul not exist like that, they must conform or go away", then the final conclusion is to actually persecute them. Strip them of rights, bully them, sow disgust for them, emptionally, mentally, and finally physically harming them. Tell me the american conservatives aren't currently running a campaign exactly like that, towards trans people.
I've read both mein kamph and Anders Breiviks manifesto (norwegian right wing mass murderer) and their ideology is virtually identical to american conservativism. As in the trends I listen above. The american conservatives are just not that explicit and are not yet explicitly calling for violence. They only strongly imply it, and sometimes explicitly defend it.
The american conservatives might not all be full fledged fascists, but it IS strongly and exponentially FASCISTIC, and for the most part explicitly fascist. Definitionally so. It's not in the slightest controversial to anyone who has read anything relevant.
Fascism is reactionary against progressivism. It's inherenlty irrational, conservative and internally self-contradictory. It's fear based, but seeks to transmute fear and frustration through populist appeal and rhetoric, to inspire anger and contempt for the percieved "threat" of progress and it's symtoms - visible minorities.

On the topic of Americans actually confronting our country's past, I am of the opinion that most conservatives are not capable of empathy until they find themselves in that position they previously lambasted another for being in. It's why we get phenomenon like "The Only Moral Abortion is MY Abortion" from conservative women or how conservative men talk about "The Right of Conquest" until the day they feel their personal sovereignty has been challenged.
Or like how conservatives rail against "big government" and "overreach" but invariably support the most draconian laws that restrict human behavior, as long as its not their own behavior being outlawed.

That is not true. A human being who values the lives of others is not the same as that uncivilized human being who thinks he can take as many lives as he wants. Ayn Rand referred to the seconds. Many native peoples were violent with other natives. The history of the conquest of America is full of examples of native peoples allied with Europeans fighting other hostile natives. The best example is the conquest of Mexico, which is a conquest of the natives themselves helped by 200 Spaniards and Hernán Cortez.
Not to mention that the fundamental difference is not technological, nor biological, but cultural.

As far as the Soviets go, while I would say comparing them to the Nazi's in general is lazy. The moving around of populations under thier control was to a level driven by a goal to destroy regional and local identities and "Sovietize" the population. Which can be argued to be a kind of cultural genocide. You can also argue a few of the famines were partially driven by an attempt to destroy certain racial and cultural groups.
On the first, absolutely. On the second, absolutely not. The Soviet famine was exactly as "man-made" as every other one in history. Historians are pretty much universally agreed that the "holodomor" was the result of failed collectivization efforts and a poor harvest, and not a deliberate attempt to persecute anyone. The last serious historian to suggest it was a genocide was Robert Conquest, a self-described "cold warrior" on the side of the USA, who predicted that the opening of the Soviet archives would support his position that the famine was a deliberate act of persecution. Instead, to his credit (he was a serious historian, after all!) he was forced to concede they showed the exact opposite - Soviet leadership saw the great famine as a huge tragedy and a propaganda defeat. This was the exact opposite of what they wanted! Collectivizing agriculture was supposed to end famine, was supposed to massively improve their agriculture and give them food security, after all, autarky was a major goal of the Soviet union. If you remember this the idea that the famine was deliberately inflicted on anyone becomes an obvious nonsense. It's also worth recognising that, after the great famine, the Soviets *did* end the centuries-old pattern of regular famines in the region.
But that's not to say the Soviets did nothing wrong! Stalin sent aid (which seems odd if this were deliberate persecution, but I digress), but it was inadequate - and the opening of the archives revealed that the reason for this inadequacy is because Stalin wanted to keep the famine quiet, as it was (as I mentioned earlier) a major failure of Soviet ideology and a huge propaganda defeat. This is the actual crime of Stalin - he was willing to let his people starve to death to avoid taking a political hit. Absolutely ghoulish and evil behaviour, and I would call it a crime against humanity! But not a deliberate act of persecution, not a genocide.

I did not lead them to disliking Columbus, they already had that feeling because of his raping an murdering of indigenous people. I stated that he claimed to discover America and he did some pretty cruel things. Many students stated, “No he didn’t, there were people here already. Didn’t he kill a bunch of people? So why do we celebrate him?” I gave them an alternative with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Middle school students can come to those conclusions on their own with basic facts given to them.
@@klrl93 yeah honestly good job, be objective, tell the truth, and try learling what the sources meant. Dont lean in the innocent nature indian but also not the savage one. Race is bullshit only people in power and being afraid you don’t understand matter. But now im saying my political leaning so oops hahhaha
ur so informative
Some Native Americans weren't allowed to practice their religions in certain states up to the middle-late 1900s, and some of the church re-education schools for indigenous children were only closed in the 1990s. The repression isn't ancient history, parts of it still happen today. It's not the soul-ripping stuff of the past, but it's still sad.
Prectuion of paganism is very odl and wide practicve.
We were Murderers and Thieves for thousands of years. So it's ok. - Matt Walsh
I often disagree with you on stuff. But your analysis at the start of this video is really solid. So many people don't even know what fascism is. Like, they think that for a state or group of people to be fascist they have to be there with death camps and a whole war machine on day 1. So many are so comfortable in our relatively stable society that we've all grown up in, that they just don't even recognise these fascists that are gaining more and more prominence for what they are.
Matt Walsh is absurd with his Back to the Future what ifs. Ridiculous person. And he says how no black American would want to leave for an African country, well of course not, they're Americans that have grown up their whole lives in America. Idiotic justifications for having committed atrocities.
Matt Walsh gives me such a bad feeling in my gut, in a way that his buddies like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson don't
I think it's because Ben Shapiro comes off more as an opportunist and Jordan Peterson gives more "old man yelling at clouds," especially these days. Matt Walsh is so much more actively, knowingly malignant than either of them, and doesn't put much effort into trying to convince you otherwise. He's basically a walking example of the "Death of a Euphemism". Jordan and Shapiro could have been Fox news talking heads 20 years ago. Matt Walsh could only exist after 2016, when being unapologetically monstrous was objectively proven to be a winning strategy for conservative politics at the national level. People watch Ben Shapiro when they want to feel rational and superior. They watch Jordan Peterson when they want to feel deep. No one watches Matt Walsh for any of those things. They watch him to feel that any word or act of pure, unfiltered hatred they could possibly conjure would be righteous, applauded, and in the grand scheme of things, kinder to future generations that will no longer have to share the world with whatever he's telling them to destroy. He's offering his audience what many if them have always wanted: absolution through violence. In short, a crusade.
i don't understand what walsh's probkem is...
why cant you just say: "wow, what our ancestors did was terrible. im sorry for what was done to your ancestors. lets make sure something like that won't happen again."
acknowledging your ancestors flaws doesnt make you personally a part of what happened two centuries ago.
I know, this just baffles me as a white Aussie. I have no problems saying the white invaders here committed genocide, & I benefit from it today. And even though it wasn't specifically my blood ancestors, that's only cos the invaders had been so "successful" before they arrived there was virtually no-one left to harm. They would've agreed with those actions though, & most importantly, they & I benefited hugely from the stolen land & our white privilege.
Because they want to keep their options open,sanitize these so it doesn't sound so unreasonable if such an event was to occur again
The reason is it cuz he's a fucking animal and he wants to keep all of that barbaric Behavior wide open for him to potentially engage in whenever he feels like it. He's a very very stupid and uneducated man and talks himself around in bulshit circles like people who don't know anything often do
@@BradLad56 LOL, you have no idea who my ancestors were. And you're deliberately misunderstanding my comment: I said myself that my ancestors arrived AFTER the invasion & genocide, _& that it's irrelevant._ You clearly don't understand Aussie history either, if you think the fact that they dragged out boatloads of convicts & set up a penal colony somehow means it wasn't an invasion.
...But hey, maybe you're one of those people who deny that ANY European colonisation was an invasion.
@@BradLad56 Yep,time makes ot ok to colonize and genocide
Im American and I completely agree with you.
While I completely disagree with the Daily Wire folks, I must say that I found the way you described how the history of Soviet war crimes in eastern europe was written by Germans highly problematic. These war crimes are pretty much confirmed at this point, and even soviet soldiers admitted them.
Yeah absolutely. War brings out the worst in everyone and the Soviets absolutely committed atrocious acts particularly against East German women.
Superb video!
What an excellent, in-depth breakdown. Thank you.
Much love from the old homeland of Kaliningrad, USSR
Matt Walsh has logic is like a murderer going around killing people and then being like well look if I didn't go around killing those people you guys would have never had the opportunity to catch me.
Fuck this is a good one. Really deep dive and profoundly unsettling to see it laid out like this. This goes hard. More people need to know the stuff this vid goes into.
The American conservatives keep bellowing about how Latin Americans are slowly taking over. He should should be happy with that.
From their perspective those pesky Latinos are actually superior. They not only steal jobs - they also are lazy and abuse social programs. I couldn't do both at the same time. I'm too white apparently
It's the same thing with antisemitism. The way they describe Jewish people makes me think that they're inherently superior. Why persecute them then?
This is one of the darkest and most disturbing videos I’ve ever seen. But it’s a necessary eye opener.
I can't speak for all Americans but the only people I know who still celebrate Columbus are mostly older and white and most likely conservative, also many Italian Americans use him as symbol for Italian pride for some reason even though the things he did were not for Italy
Good job, you can't even differentiate between Italians and Portugese.
He wasn't even Italian. The Italian nationality is a fairly new thing...
I didn't say I thought he was one nationality or another. I merely stated the fact that many Italian Americans celebrate him as part of Italian American heritage. Similar to the way Rastafarians celebrate Hailie Selassie even though he was not involved nor believed in their religion.
@@MalBeats I know, I was just saying that it's ridiculous that the "Italian"americans celebrate Columbus day, because he was genovese (not Italian), he only served the Spanish and he was a piece of shit.
He was Italian and so was Mussolini
I think they focus on men becoming women also because they see “women” as objects to gratify them and so they can’t fathom anyone being a woman who isn’t for that purpose. That’s why they get so mad when a larger woman is in a swimsuit magazine too. They can’t just not look if they don’t like it, they become furious. They don’t see women as humans.
It’s the same reason why they go after gay men more than lesbian women
@@rickybobby5153 Exactly and they try to mask it in some type of morals like they’re just raging angry because god hates it but they never have that same energy for two girls hooking up.
"Why would you join the American Nazi party when you have the American Republican party?"
Underrated.
I can’t even stomach this, Matt Walsh is nauseating.
matt walsh being slightly elongated in the thumbnail made me laugh really hard i dont know why
I had to pause after he said "well, we may not have genocided the most brutally, but dammit we did it the best!"
"Why is America so DAMN BIG?"
By BadEmpanada
Is an excellent video on some of the historical throughlines of the ideologies of Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum. Definitely worth consideration as are many of the videos he makes... on his main.
His second channel is much more, uncouth.
BadEmpanada is great!
BadEmpanada is a wild character who seems genuinely driven to argue against the dumbest ideas out there, not motivated by money or fame, those are just a means to an end to keep up his platform of being passionately argumentative afloat. He is a very educated dude who is firm in his logic, almost always providing compelling arguments that are grounded in morality, a vast knowledge of history and politics. He seems personally angered by atrocities and injustices which reveals he has a genuine and deep empathy and a sense of humanity, but somehow he's kind of unlikable and antisocial. A true enigma who has definitely shone a light on some very important topics in a rigorous and detailed approach.
@@sammfshieldsYup that's how I feel about him. Genuinely passionate guy who cares in an antisocial way lol. I wish he cleaned up his act, it really let's people dismiss him easily when he does insane shit like harass people on twitter
So, the people who came to America and claimed the land were heroes for doing so?
I'm glad Matt Walsh thinks that! I guess that means he will welcome other people coming to America from different countries, claiming the land as their own and integrating their culture into it!
09:30. Matt Walsh "Ends justify means." 😬
I'm 40 years old and watching this video today is the first time I'm hearing about how Hitler was inspired by the the American West. It's easy to keep a nation complacent when you keep them ignorant.
