The Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization at the University of Colorado Boulder explores the culture, languages and ideas of the Western tradition, ranging from antiquity to modern society. Its concern, first and foremost, is with the values that emerge from that tradition, and their ongoing role in the institutions of the United States.
Integral to this mission is the Center’s commitment to fostering research, debate and dialogue on the fundamental issues of our time--moral, political and economic. The Center hosts the Conservative Thought and Policy program and provides a forum for free and open discourse across the university community. Our aim is to promote a lively and balanced conversation that respects both conservative and liberal ideals, thus fostering the full diversity of political, economic and philosophical perspectives on the CU Boulder campus.

Jews hate being soldiers. For their own state or an empire they exist in. They threaten (Sampson Option) and blackmail (Wexner, Epstein, Mega Group, etc) the West to defend them in their grifted "homeland". They bully us into defending them. Jews want to be the world sovereign and exception to the rule.
1:15:05 Yes, hello!
This is the center that paid John Eastman a salary as he worked to fraudulently overturn an election, right?
Yes hello
"I mean such an increase in the Russian danger, that Europe would have to decide to become equally a threat, that is, it would have to acquire a will, by means of a new caste which would rule Europe, a long, fearful, individual will, which could set itself goals for thousands of years from now - so that finally the long spun-out comic plot of its small states, together with its multiple dynastic and democratic petty wills, would come to an end. The time for small politics is over. The next century is already bringing on the battle for the mastery of the earth - the compulsion to grand politics." - Nietzsche Also, Nietzsche was an incredibly robust man who consistently exercised as a part of his philosophy in action. Weight lifting wouldn't become popular until the 1950s, so to say that he didn't lift and playing on the perception that he wasn't a physical man is disingenuous. All in all, a great forum. Please do more!

I love Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, but he's wrong about the Third Reich never having a 4-engine bomber. The Germans did develop a heavy bomber, the Heinkel He 177 Greif. It was a 4-engine bomber, where the engines were packed into two nacelles instead of four. This was done to maximize efficiency of parts and lower building costs. Over 1,000 were built. The bomber suffered problems from overheating.
The He-177 was never deployed or even a factor in any air campaign.
DEI looks like this guy getting paid to speak in the name of “viewpoint diversity” when he’s never held a real job or done any real research
Didn’t the center that’s hosting this guy also pay a salary to a fraudulent lawyer trying to overthrow an election?
Diversity and equity in action is this talentless hack getting paid a speaking fee in the name of “viewpoint diversity” at CU. But I’d imagine the irony of making a living off the very thing he derides might be a little lost on a guy like Rufo.

Yeah well Israel did 911 - And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 11:9 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. Daniel 9:11-12 Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel. Amos 5:1 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and will set thee as a gazingstock. Nahum 3:4-6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. Ezekiel 5:8 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. Daniel 9:13-14 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? Exodus 32:21 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testified against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. Nehemiah 9:30 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, they turn aside the poor in the gate. Amos 5:12 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord. Zechariah 1:4 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed her. Lamentations 4:6 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Isaiah 1:4-5 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. Micah 3:8-10 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, unto this very day. For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shat say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briars and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, not be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. Ezekiel 2:3-7 We have sinned, and committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Daniel 9:5 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:1-2 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Hosea 14:1 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Zechariah 1:2 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. Lamentations 5:22 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly. Nehemiah 9:33

Hazony is a gigant. Love his work
Guy’s an absolute moron lol
thanks for presenting Yoram Hazony
ד"ר יורם חזוני, הרצאה מעולה!! אני קוראת את הספר שלך עכשיו. The virtue of Nationalism מדהים אותי איך מצד אחד אני מרגישה שאני לומדת ממך המון דברים לעומק. ומצד שני אתה מבטא באופן מדוייק את מה שאני מרגישה המון המון זמן. יש לך המון כישרון. יישר כח.
Love how he talks about being a peaceful maintainer of institutions when he’s the visiting scholar at a center that tried to overthrow an election. What a clueless hypocrite.
I love how she never gives any concrete examples on how the Benson Center affects the narrative on campus. The Benson Center exists to leach tax money and attempt to overthrow elections.
Anomaly is an honest broker if nothing else. Big fan.
I remember when the Benson Center led the group think that my vote shouldn’t have counted in the 2020 election.
Trucks for Russia were not only Chrysler and GM, but mostly Studebakers. So many, in fact, to this day Russians refer to trucks of this size as "Studes".
VDH didn't mention it but the key part of any military endeavor is logistics. The extremely long logistical trail is a big reason why the Germans lost on the Eastern front. The issue was both long trail and the bombing of rail lines back to Germany reducing the ability of the Germans to support their troops. They tried with aircraft but their air force did not include large cargo type aircraft.
I believe so which reminds me of the huge logistical situation in June of 1944. The D-Day landings and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The allies achieved it. To me that is astounding. Later that year was the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Wow!
Awesome historical perspective on WWII. If only this presentation was required viewing within the American public school system.
He’s worth it
I learned more about Ww2 now than the previous 50 years thx victor keep YouTubing your wisdom
The greatest army? Is this guy smoking hash? The german army who couldn't contain/defeat a mostly peasant red army during barbarossa? The german army who couldn't contain/defeat an underequipped red army who contantly ran out of ammo? Lol The germans, who created a land based army...who planned on covering the known VAST TERRAIN of the USSR...and went in HALF MECHANIZED? lolol The german army who had experience and fought from well dug in defensive positions that failed to contain GREEN American troops? Those guys? The same german army whose elite soldiery failed to overrun underequipped american lines at the bulge? That army? The german OKW actually planned an invasion of Great Britain...an island....with a bathtub navy and twin engine bombers and this guy giving the lecture said they were the greatest army....what a joke. Oh and whats worse? This same german army bombed Great Britain...who was in the rear of the reich, while amassing their limited resources against russia.....for their land army....which is about as dumb as the retarded door greeter at walmart....guess what happens next? Yeah you guessed it...the brits bombed em right back with impunity lololol. Ive witnessed better strategy in a game of counter strike. I could literally go on for days about the incompetence of the wehrmacht starting with their clothes, their weapons' ridiculous rate-of-fire with NO stopping power (many stories exist of how american and russian soldiers would be shot 3-4 times but still ran to cover at half speed), their woeful urban-tactics that nearly ways doomed them...and so on and so forth. They were a laughable military when inspected with a cold unbiased eye.
wtf is a GS-42?
Perhaps MG-42 was meant.
Germany and Japan were trying to overthrowing a world order in which the United States, The British Commonwealth, and France were the flagship civilizations and linguistic cultures, with Russian and China potentially coming up on the side. The German and Japanese nationalists saw correctly that to compete in world power and make the German and the Japanese into the world's leading powers and flagship linguistic civilizations they would need resources on a continental scale like America, Russian and China had or on a worldwide scale like smaller Great Britain and France with their worldwide empires and linguistic civilizations. The Germans and the Japanese foresaw that although they might continue to grow as economic powers, their situation in relation to the giants would only get worse, and they would never have equality as civilizations. So why not go for it while it was still possible given the perceived unwillingness of the West to fight and general poor development of China? This is the story in a nutshell.
Anonymike interesting opinion
You are right in terms of the general idea, but it is important to note that the Allies should be split in to blocs otherwise than you have done it: namely, the USA and the USSR as ascendant radical powers, with Britain and France as extant imperial powers. Germany, Japan and Italy, in this model, could be called aspiring imperial powers. A victory for the Allies over the aspiring imperialists set up for a subsequent (unfought) victory of radicals over extant imperialists. Actually the policy of appeasement might have resulted in a better outcome for the British in the long run (whatever we think of the Nazis).
How to sum up WW2... The free west vs. socialism Yes the National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI) were fighting the marxist socialists (commies) but that doesnt make them anti-socialist. Shia and sunni are both islamic. ha ha, your revisionist history of the NAZI being "right-wing" just blew up in your face with facts, haw haw.
No no no. Absolutely wrong. WW1: Germany and co. try and fail to become serious members of the colonial empire club, are punished for it WW2: Even more desperate (due to earlier punishment), Germany and co. try and fail to become serious members of the colonial empire club Cold War: Having weakened the colonial empire club using WW1 and WW2, and having eliminated aspiring colonial imperialists, "anti-imperial" USA and USSR collaborate to take apart and steal the colonial empires for themselves. You're part-right that Nazis (and Fascists) were leftists, though. Not wholly right. But read Corradini on proletarian and bourgeois nations, for example, and the doctrine is clearly Marxist class-struggle superimposed on nationalism.
You fail to point out where i was wrong! Lol Maybe on the wordage of "free west". But thats not a "gotcha" moment. I fully intent to devote zero energy into looking up the failed prophecies of marx. Or anyone masquerading as an objective knowledge base, while simultaneously touting marxism. The proletariat never rose up against their capitalist overseers. (something that angers the career marxist in perpetual orbit around college campuses)
The German army blamed civilians back home for the loss of world war 1 And before world war 2 ended they blamed the entire war and the lost of the war on one politician No wonder they lost two world wars People who can't take blame for huge mistakes and not only unwilling to take the blame but shifted there mistakes to other people make terrible leaders Most high ranking officers at the end of world war 2 where not upset about what they had done They where worried that what they had done would cost them the respect and honor due a German officer
Really great lecture from one of America's brightest minds. The explanation of the internal army/navy strife in the Japanese military was more thoughtful than I've ever heard. It's always a pleasure when new VDH material gets published.
i think you will find new zealand was in there from day one until the end and so was australia so britain was not the only country, very interesting video i might add
OK, every time he says, "Britain", I will hear, "Empire": I hope that will please you.
I was correcting a mistake. It was a kiwi that saved britian from defeat, yet they failed to defend us when we were under threat
debeeriz he mentioned that Britain included its territories nz aust Canada
Germany never started the war Mr. Hanson - the JEWS started it and planned it.
Idiot
Wiesel is a lying fraud. believe nothing he says. He belongs in jail
I thought that might set you off.
Go to 50:00 in the video. He's talking about the Japanese, but could be talking about you.
So what do you believe to be the truth?
First, I'd like to thank VDH for his steadfast support for the interventions that led to the creation of ISIS. Hard to maintain an empire, even in the form of global hegemony, when you blow all your money on disastrous interventions, and provide security via 800+ foreign bases, in service of foreign powers and global elites (American included). Our military power is not overall put in service of the interests of American citizens. Our Founding Fathers admonished us over and over not to get involved in foreign military entanglements (they admonished us to be wary of taking in too many foreigners too fast as well). We have followed VDH advice over and over at our own peril. VDH is not even impressive as a WW2 in his analysis of WW2. Anybody can easily google GDP figures, armament statistics, troop and casualty numbers. But when it comes to the why's and wisdom of decisions, he just gives you the same old conventional BS mythology and propaganda. Why? For he is the Court Historian of the Neocon Establishment. No matter what interventionist blunder, no matter how great the failure, his reason why all the interventions he pushed for and cheer leaded failed is because our commitment was just not strong enough. But why do we need all these great precedents of the past but to support modern wars in the interest of, you know, the country the whose interest the Neocons put above all else, no sillies it's not America's. I'll give you a list of VDH positions. VDH believes Putin should have been pushed out of Crimea and the whole Ukraine thing was similar to the West's appeasement of Hitler at Munich. How many of you want to risk war with Russia over Crimea, a region that wanted to be part of Russia anyway, and that until not that long ago was actually part of Russia, not just the USSR. Why does VDH hate modern post USSR Russia so much? May have something to do with Israel. For some reason they believe he interferes with their ambitions too much. VDH wants war with Iran, because he believes it is inevitable. He said the Iran Deal was, wait for it, tantamount to the West's appeasement of Hitler at Munich. See according to VDH, Iran is a major threat to US security (meaning Israel's) so it is in our (Israel's) vital interest that America (actually America this time) fight a war with Iran that would make the Iraq War look like a cake walk, to preempt Iran's barbarous nuclear attack against the US (Israel) - (Israel that has 300 nukes). Absurd? Yeah, but Hitler. Or, VDH on if we should overthrow Qaddafi in Libya?" VDH, reply: Oh yes, indeed.."if Gadhafi or his family survives in power after the United States simply got tired and quit, we will also be able to say that this sort of defeat is something quite new in American history." How has that worked out VDH? Libya is a failed state. Qaddafi warned that if you took him out, Africans and Muslims would pour through Libya flooding Europe. Oh and they are. But if we had only more fully committed, I guess occupied, well we indefinitely occupied Libya, things would be different. The overthrow was good, it was the lack of commitment that was bad. Sure, VDH. VDH on his support for the US invasion of Iraq: "Hanson believed that the Iraq War, given the repeated serial violations by Iraq of UN sanctions, congressional mandates, and the threats that Saddam Hussein posed, in a post-9/11 climate, to the long-term security of the Middle East, was a necessary and worthwhile undertaking-and was, after a flawed occupation, eventually a laudable success that had led to a workable government in 2009 and relative calm in Iraq: analogous to the foundations of the successful American occupation of South Korea in the latter 1950s that led to the democratic society of today. However, he stated in 2008 that he, "... disagreed with many of the decisions made about the Iraq war," such as the dissolution of the old Iraqi army.[19] Hanson argued that the "surge" of 2007 had largely won the Iraq War by the beginning of 2009, and that rise of the Islamic State terrorist group which seized control of much of Iraq in mid-2014 was the result of what Hanson sees as the unwise withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq in December 2011, which he blames on the Obama administration.[26] Hanson argued that if only American troops had stayed in Iraq after December 2011, then the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki would have been less sectarian and the Islamic State group would have never emerged.[27] Hanson argued that the December 2011 withdrawal from Iraq was motivated to help improve Obama's chances of reelection in 2012, an act that he compared to being equivalent to the United States pulling its troops out of South Korea in 1955, arguing if only the Americans had stayed in Iraq, then that nation would have evolved into a Near Eastern version of South Korea.[28]" Uh huh...or the common sense analysis that we would have to remain in Iraq for decades in order to forestall the inevitable, i.e. the Shiite majority would take power, align itself with Iran, which would fill the vacuum we left. Oh and thanks for supporting a war that created ISIS in order to take out al Qaeda that didn't exist in Iraq. VDH supported war against Serbia. Serbia/Kosavo was a BS intervention and has not even benefited greater Europe. Our leadership of Europe has led to a situation where Europe will soon no longer be Western, no longer be European, not too unlike our own country, taking in 2 million immigrants legal and illegal every year.
