Hey, the video I have linked provides an insight to what a war between the USA and China “will” be like. Apparently, an alliance between China and Iran will develop to counter USA’s power. Supposedly, if there’s a conflict between China and the USA, an alliance between China and Iran will tip the balance of power heavily in favour of China. This is because Iran has been developing hypersonic missiles which China will use to effectively take out USA warships in the case that there’s a conflict between USA and China… kzread.info/dash/bejne/oY6FxqSoca29hps.html

In America religion is a matter of money and virtue-signalling : the Reagan phenomenon resulted in the multiplication of Evangelist sects and of like practices among all other religions among all clienteles favoured by that accursed regime that impoverished half of the US for the short-term benefit of the other half : now that the formerly favoured people are going broke in their turn, Evangelism together with many other like cults including modern Catholicism are all experiencing a downturn and people are going atheistic like never before when they don't believe in SF.

The 1900's was the ultimate test of humanities self-limits. Genocide after genocide, two world wars and a dozen or so proxy wars afterwards, the creation of nuclear warheads (the only devices we possess that can destroy ourselves), and the normalization of long-term politicians and cultural stagnation. But despite ALL of that, we still have people in the year 2023 who demand we all erase that history and learn no lessons from the past century of chaos. People today are being willingly ignorant to what has happened in the past one hundred years to gain power and scare people, and with the looming threat of another World War on the horizon, it seems like we could completely repeat the mistakes of the last century. Sure, some of us who know better can see the writing on the wall and act accordingly, but the ones who are in power and actually have a say in this world do not, and because of it we the people are going to suffer immensely for someone else's shortcomings. Sometimes it honestly feels like we as a species haven't progressed philosophically despite all the technological advancements we've made.

"Making $18 an hour and renting a room is much better than being owned by a lord having to join his army and do back breaking farm work with no powered equipment." I agree, however, that is an illusion. It used to be that their was the King and the aristocratic class which was comprised of the Royal relatives and the affluent Merchants. With the Magna Carta the process of the Aristocratic class usurping dominance from the King class. Nowadays the King class exists as a figurehead for the Aristocratic class. I only bring this up because economically speaking it is more beneficial economically for the Aristocratic class for us to be able to move around freely than be tied to the land. Are you in debt? Do you pay Taxes? You are owned. Now we do less, or in some cases more, backbreaking work for differing amounts of pay and live in better living conditions but if it comes down to it we would end up in that position again. And if it ever got desperate enough you can bet that they would reinstitute the draft. This is not a support for any sort of "revolutionary" alternative as those are all lies and simply result in a changing of hands of the reigns of power. (e.g. Communism, Socialism. Each of these are as less emancipating than a red capote is to a bull in an arena) It's merely an observation of what I firmly believe is the reality and its results.

It makes sense now that our current republic's political system was created to mediate the disagreements of respected individuals elected based on their charisma. Between New England merchants/industrialists and Southern gentry landholders both sides were scholarly statesmen and patriots in both houses of congress. The founders of New York and Boston were learned tradesmen like Adams a lawyer and the founders of Virginia chiefly Jefferson were accomplished enlightenment scholars in their free time(which they had alot of admittedly thanks to their slaves) but despite their diametrically opposing views on how to govern the country both behaved as gentlemen were respected and loved the union. Parties were loose groups of like minded candidates and voters contrasting the mass organizations prone to finnancial corruption we have now. Yet today our elite leadership class are made up of careerist bureaucrats not men of character but professional politicians whose only metric of experience their candidacy is judged by is seniority of party membership, ability to vomit dogmatic rhetoric, which university they attended, and the network of connections they made from said university. This is why we call history's leaders statesmen and today's leaders politicians.

“After every successful Masonic Revolution, since the first in 1789, down to and including the Spanish Revolution in 1931, the world soon began to hear of the country's entering upon the path of ‘progress’ by the introduction of ‘enlightened’ reforms, such as the separation of Church and State (or the putting of all religions on the same level), the legalisation of divorce, the secularisation of the schools, the suppression and banishment of religious orders and congregations, the glorification of Freemasonry, the nationalisation of property and the unrestrained licence of the Press. […] Back in 1922, the Assembly of the Grand Lodge of France insisted that amongst the tasks lying ahead was "the creation of a European spirit…the formation of the United States of Europe, or rather the Federation of the World." On this side of the Iron Curtain and in the U.S.A. nations are being invited to give up their national sovereignty to enter a Federation in which those who control World-Masonry would certainly yield enormous power and in which the Authentic Teacher of the Moral Law would not be listened to. On the far side of the Iron Curtain, we see the continuation of what was stated by Mr. Oudendyke, the Dutch Minister at St. Petersburg, and published in the British White Paper of April, 1919. "Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately it is bound to spread in one form or another all over Europe and the whole world, as it is organised and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.” In G. K.'s Weekly, February 4, 1937, Mr. Hilaire Belloc wrote: "As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary Bolshevist movement in Russia is Jewish, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppressions of our deplorable Press." Anyone who carefully studies the rulers of Russia and of the satellite States Poland and Hungary for example, at the present day, will have the same conclusion forced upon him. The opposition of all the branches of Freemasonry, French, Italian, Anglo-Saxon, etc., to the Catholic Church is essential and ineradicable, for it is the opposition of naturalism to the Supernatural Life of the Mystical Body of Christ and to the organisation of society based on the infinite dignity of that Life. In other words, it is the opposition of Anti-Christ to Christ. It will be well to stress this great truth, because of the statements one sometimes hears that English and American Freemasonry is quite different from Continental Freemasonry. In the Encyclical Letter, Humanum Genus, Pope Leo XIII condemns the Naturalism of Freemasonry and not only makes no distinction between the different branches of Free-masonry, but teaches that no such distinction is to be made. He alludes to the controversy about God, or rather about the ancient landmark of the Great Architect of the Universe, between Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry and the French Grand Orient, but says that the fact that there has recently been a controversy about such a fundamental truth of the natural order as the existence of God is clear proof of the inevitably corrupting influence of Masonic Naturalism or Anti-Supernaturalism. The Pope does not exempt from condemnation the sections of Freemasonry that retain the ancient landmark.” Foreword. “Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked.” Dillon, George F. New Edition. 5th September 1950.

On this side of the Iron Curtain and in the U.S.A. nations are being invited to give up their national sovereignty to enter a Federation in which those who control World-Masonry would certainly yield enormous power and in which the Authentic Teacher of the Moral Law would not be listened to. On the far side of the Iron Curtain, we see the continuation of what was stated by Mr. Oudendyke, the Dutch Minister at St. Petersburg, and published in the British White Paper of April, 1919. "Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately it is bound to spread in one form or another all over Europe and the whole world, as it is organised and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.” In G. K.'s Weekly, February 4, 1937, Mr. Hilaire Belloc wrote: "As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary Bolshevist movement in Russia is Jewish, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppressions of our deplorable Press." Anyone who carefully studies the rulers of Russia and of the satellite States Poland and Hungary for example, at the present day, will have the same conclusion forced upon him. The opposition of all the branches of Freemasonry, French, Italian, Anglo-Saxon, etc., to the Catholic Church is essential and ineradicable, for it is the opposition of naturalism to the Supernatural Life of the Mystical Body of Christ and to the organisation of society based on the infinite dignity of that Life.

It will be well to stress this great truth, because of the statements one sometimes hears that English and American Freemasonry is quite different from Continental Freemasonry. In the Encyclical Letter, Humanum Genus, Pope Leo XIII condemns the Naturalism of Freemasonry and not only makes no distinction between the different branches of Free-masonry, but teaches that no such distinction is to be made. He alludes to the controversy about God, or rather about the ancient landmark of the Great Architect of the Universe, between Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry and the French Grand Orient, but says that the fact that there has recently been a controversy about such a fundamental truth of the natural order as the existence of God is clear proof of the inevitably corrupting influence of Masonic Naturalism or Anti-Supernaturalism.

Don’t read Homo Deus. Man will never become God. That’s the lie Harari is insinuating. “Homo Deus” is Latin for Man God. This is to contrast his preceding book “Sapiens,” which promotes a false view of human origins as coming from evolution of order from the chaos, which is impossible. This is the motto: “Ordo ab Chao” perpetuated by the devil. “Do what thou wilt” is also perpetuated by the devil. The devil is the Father of Lies. God tells us (and He never lies) that He created us from nothing. The devil suggests that he molded us from the clay rather than God. The devil says he is the “Grand Architect.” Architects have a vision of how to move around the materials that God created, but the devil never actually created. Jesus was and is and always will be the only Man-God; He is God become Man.

A large change that gradually occured during the 20th century is the move towards innovation driven economy and military. That move made liberalism more and more viable relative to military based societies. Before 15th century tech wasn't important at all so the military advantage went to various hordes that could devote their males to training and war. Later manufacturing got important and the successful societies were those that can mobilize manpower to industry and war while innovation was still slow so it could be borrowed. Now, innovation could be the most important factor when war gets serious so mass mobilization helps less and liberalism gets superior to various forms of collectivism.

Not so sure about the AI and 3D printers, but I do agree with the issue of religion. As the Christian religion ceases to do what its meant to do and people no longer find use of it, new religions will take its place and IMO we are seeing the seeds of it being set with New Age, Tarot, Astrology, Wicca, Mother Goddess Worship, and the Law of Attraction. These things will eventually consolidate into a new religion in America that will replace Christianity. Note I am none of these but having been observing what the youth have been turning to as alternatives to both Christianity and atheism, these ideas could be the core building blocks of a new unique American religion.

always great content

Thank you for making this one.

Interesting synopsis. Great job.

As a leaning conservative American, I see you as a classical liberal. I respect your opinion, you make good points. While I don’t agree with all of your points, I certainly wish the Democratic Party in this country retained the skill of logical argument, and seeing reality. We need more of you in this world, and I hope people will see this as true liberalism. Have a good day!

What things don't you agree with, just curious?

This is a brilliant video, great job.

Don’t listen to all those people making videos against you. They obviously don’t see that you’re not just a historian but also a philosopher and that your “facts” are rough and ready premises for larger discussions.

I am an university student and I already feel like the amount of paperwork we have is ridiculous. I believe this could be the result of people’s declining level of trusting others and their own self-esteem. If you are annoyed or even disgusted by those paperwork, you are certainly not alone. ❤

Every Century has its challenges and no one person can predict how the World will change.

Great thoughts, thank you for sharing. A good few light bulb paradigm shifting mind moments throughout.

Strong work! Love your conclusions.

Do you do debates or discussions on these topics? There are several points that are worthy of push back and/or clarification.

thats what the comment section is for. feel free to clarify.

For your final line, I can pull a scene from Rick and Morty of all places. Rick, the selfish nihilistic genius who crosses the multiverse and has the powers of a god, finds himself in a situation he cannot solve and faces death. He willingly did so in order to save his grandchildren and at that moment he says he is okay with his action. He then immediately finds his way out, says a small prayer to God as he tries to fix the device to enable him to escape, and then tells God "fuck you" as he succeeds. Because of the nature of the event, the other versions of him do similarly and kneel down praying, only to assert there is no God upon escape.

this was a great one thank you very very much!

Great video. Thank you

I personally think we should just go to the 19 century again, more specifically the belle epoque. Here what i think would be the best societal organization for us to follow: classical liberalism was as it's peak, most countries were constitutional monarchies, the most stable and prosperous type of government, people were nationalistic, proud, disciplined, and moral, Christianity was standing strong amongst the great percentage of the population even when science was improving rapidly, technological progress was immense, the standard of living was increasing, instead of a bipolar world that we live, we had 7 or 8 global powers, all relatively democratic with a delicate balance of power, we had cultural identity backed by tradition, customs, clothing and family structures, heck even the bad things of this era like racism and sexism were being solved, since the suffragist movement started in the 1890s and slavery was largely being condemned by almost all nations on the globe, soon this racial superiority probably would disappear too.

Actually, the quote is from Zhou Enlai: "Too soon to tell". Is actually referring to the May 1968 Protests and near-revolution that happened in France, which was being perpetrated by Situationist International at the time...

Great video!

8:37 your understanding of history is substantially simplistic.

It would be interesting to discuss the lineage that connects those modern religions and how they bifurcated historically

Italian and Spanish fascism, though did have a religion behind them and were more compassion. Everyone thinks about the imperial Japanese and third Reich think of fascist but the other two examples did not dramatically have the flaws you described anymore so then the ancient societies are described

Mussolini was not Hitler that is for sure he imprisoned or killed some 2000 opponents and ruled over the cultures and peoples of Italy by force as a Tyrant. Keep in mind that Italy is not 1 people, the people of Po Valley are totally different from people of Sicily and different form people of Rome and people of Venice and Naples, Italy is a group of cultures and people who are very different from each other and Italy as a single country only came to be around 1861 under Napoleon. So Italy is overall a younger country, younger than USA for example.

This is a very good video, thank you

It looks like the soul of humanity died with these wars.

The quote about the French Revolution was from Zhou Enlai. Some things got lost in translation, and he thought that they were referring not to the "French Revolution" but the "Revolution in France", so he took that to mean the 1968 takeover of Paris. It had only been a few years since then, so he commented that it is too early to draw any conclusions. The conclusion I draw from that event is that Baby Boomers are so incompetent that even when they do manage to take over a city, they can't even hold it for a week. With things like the D-Day Invasion or the Moon Landing, the parents of the Baby Boomers gave the world a masterclass in how to get things done. Yet Woodstock showed us that the Baby Boomers themselves couldn't even go to a farm for a few days without turning it into a humanitarian disaster. Also, I don't think the Qin dynasty can be called pre-Axial, since it came after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the major strains of Chinese thought were developed - Confucianism, Daoism, Mozism, and the ideology of the Qin, legalism. The Qin dynasty appears to be a lot more modern in some respects. Filtering of non-practical knowledge, a meritocratic promotion system that was less nepotistic than what came before it, a militarized state, and a draconian legal system.

This might be one of my favorites of yours. It's both well-structured and meditative, which I always appreciate

Pretty good thumbnail my dude, certainly improving!

I always get a huge dopamine shot whenever Whatifalthist uploads a new video! 😃
