  I don't know how to judge people based on maybe... Then what about coins, buddy... There are empires that have been minting their own currency for thousands of years, so why link everything to Rome as if it was the greatest civilization... while the Sassanids were dominant for a thousand and 200 years... before its fall at the hands of... Muslims You speak as if you are the cradle of civilizations... Oh my dear, the country beyond Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization, where cities were built and agriculture, pastoralism, and writing were developed as well. They are the first Arabs hat is important is to understand why we believed in him. See your scholars who believed in him and still believe to this day. Did they believe in his conquests even though he died and did not control the eastern half of the peninsula? So how did the people believe in him because of the Muslim conquests after him?.. Since I saw you repeating, I think and I believe, and you are not speaking from reality or evidence, and it seems that you have not bothered to read the Qur’an to know the personality of the person you are speaking about or what religion he preached and why its followers believed in it. This certainly undermines your entire claims. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZmE0pSNec2tlbQ.html

  I don't think the current situation of Muslims is due to geography. They have significant geographical advantages, such as controlling areas where major continents meet, making them the center of the global economy. If the Umayyads and Abbasids had continued the Rashidun mindset and pushed into Europe, which I believe they could have, the world would be different today. I think they became complacent. Even today, with the substantial oil reserves in Muslim-controlled territories, they should be a dominant civilization. The issue isn't ideological superiority or lack of motivation or bad geography but rather terrible leadership.

  By the time the Mongols invaded, Russia was easily the largest, most wealthy, powerful and prosperous centralized country in the whole of Europe from Lisbon to Kazan, rivaled only by the hypothetical united Germany. Also, note how this sociopath laughs maniacally as he says the Black Death was the best thing that happened to Europe. I bet he's also one of those anti-natalist who propagandize birth control and childfree lifestyle among white people.

  Believe it or not a large majority (i think even right up to the civil war) of the north was unfortunately not opposed to keeping slavery around in the south. Like you said the abolitionists were considered the extremists. The north relied on the south and by extention slavery to some extent for very cheap raw materials for the new industrialized factories to create new products to use domestically and overseas. Many northern elites knew this and used this system to get rich. Even escaped slaves and freed slaves were not treated well in the northern cities and often faced discrimination. People act like the northerners were champions of freedom when in fact most of them really were not

  Confucianism is not as effective and important as people usually think in my opinion.Chinese usually more worship the strongest warlord than other nations because they don’t require some kind of equality between the ruler and the ruled ,just enough envy driving them to hate a wealthier neighbor to compensate the inequality.I think Chinese are not religious enough to have a creation God below him everyone is equal .Even Indian demands more equality between the ruler and the ruled than Chinese.The top class Brahmin in India is not as same sacred as Chinese kings .They Brahmins just are the part of a creation God as other classes in India.

Could touch on topics of western expansion, rugged individualism, and how the frontiersman mindset of 18th and 19th century influences the population today. Also Texas right now is kind of like it was in the 1830s and 40s; everyone wants to move here and many see opportunities that other states don’t have.

I've seen countries hollowed out, turned into pathetic former shells of their former selves, just like my country has been, so forgive me a bit of bitter bias. But now, to my disgust, I see Western nations also inching their way forward into what I term as "corpo-communism", where a handful of unaccountable companies have the same sway and effect as an unaccountable one-party state, creating the same miserable and anti-human conditions.

  Something that has evolved from Marxism is still Marxist. Perhaps heretical, but parentage counts. Something influenced, well, that's debatable by how influenced it was. If a thing was first said by Marx (or Engels), then it is Marxist. If a thing is primarily known because Marx pushed it or said it, it is either Marxist or obscure.

• 
  @lonecandle57864 күн бұрын

  @@AJX-2 Because he is referring to ideas that have long grown past what Marx was talking about and ideas that had multiple influences rather than evolving simply from Marx. Aristotle helped start what became science. This would be like calling everything that can be called a science Aristotelian. If an idea has some things in common with what Marx said, but a whole lot different, it's misleading to call it Marxist. This gives the impression that the idea or theory or paradigm is essentially Marxism with a twist, when really it is vastly different. Such categorization does more to mislead than give us insight about the idea.

  As someone who considers myself left leaning (but who also holds a lot of views that would be considered right wing by many on the left, I.E. I am very pro 2nd amendment), I am very against Communism, because I, well, know history. But I think one of the biggest reasons that modern American capitalism is pushing people towards communism, both those on the left and right, because the American dream that Millennials and Gen Z have been promised is a lie. Obviously Communism is a terrible solution to our societal issues, but masses of people don’t want a good solution, they want an easy solution. So if a populist explicitly communist party comes up in America in the next few decades I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.

You also skipped over the Indonesia, Malaysia. Just these 2 groups account for about half of all the Muslims in the world right now. Then you also had the Ottomans that reigned for 700 years, 300-400 of those years were also their golden age of military dominance.

  nice introductory video however there is many errors of your explanations of both historical and theological facts, for example Shia vs Sunni was not Arabs vs Persians in early Islamic history. The Persians were forcefully converted to shi'ism by the Turks in the 15th century under Safavid rule. Shi'ism in the beginning was more concentrated in Iraq nor Persia. This is just one of many, still it is a good introductory video for people to get into Islamic history.
