Interesting far-left wing take on the term 'Western Civilization' and on supposed "white nationalism"

the fuck is wrong with you people.. can't at least one platform just be about the music.. get ouda here

WWI is also when people start trying to make courses in a Western "canon." https://soundcloud.com/historiansplaining/update-and-teaser-for-myth-of-the-month-8-the-west

You guys are now *accepting* the idiotic premise of Ancient White European identity just so you could draw a distinction between them and the Jews? I mean, come on - there are less harmful ways of showing Ben Shapiro is a dumbass.

Ah yes, colonial programming! Because colonialism just wouldn't have made it without the theoretical background of racially pure fairy tales. For fuck's sake, people...

Yes, remarkable how the Croatian extras weren't 16% Hispanic, 13% African, and 5% Asian. You fucking dunce, Nima.

I'm watching National Geographic's "The Greeks," which aired on my local PBS station. The series is really keen to distinguish Greeks from other peoples of the eastern Mediterranean. Have you seen this series? Any comments? https://shop.pbs.org/national-geographic-the-greeks-dvd/product/NGTG401?productId=102379526&cp=&sr=1&kw=the+greeks&origkw=the+greeks&parentPage=search

i wish i could get paid to say misinformed shit and then have a live audience applaud me

The uninterrupted line of Western Civilization only goes back to the Frankish and other German Barbarians who invaded Rome in the 5th Century.

Should you ever decide to have a spinoff podcast on the use and abuse of Classics, I will be listening!

In 2019, Clint Eastwood's RICHARD JEWELL took aim at two institutions — the FBI and the media — that were supposed to save America from Trumpism. We discuss one of the veteran auteur's most beautiful films, which is also one of his most loaded and ambiguous political hot-potatoes.

#463 - Jewellbilly Elegy

The term "Western civilization" has long been a staple of the American Right, but with the recent resurgence of white nationalism, it is having something of a comeback. Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly are hosting a two-week Mediterranean "cruise thru history" to "explore the roots of Western civilization." The Intellectual Dark Web's Jordan Peterson tells us “The West is Right,” while The Daily Caller and Fox News are busy “celebrating the West." Neo-Nazi Matthew Heimbach hails “Youth for Western Civilization." Both the traditional and so-called alt-right ground their worldviews in a fictional moral arc of "The West” that bares little resemblance to reality.

Learning from the past and applying those lessons to the present is a good thing. But in pop political discourse, the Classics have been misused and abused to promote an origin story that never was - a white Greco-Roman world birthing our noble, so-called “Judeo-Christian” American empire to gloss over a history of exploitation, imperialism, slavery and conquest.

On this episode, we’ll explore the right-wing obsession with the ancient world, it’s influence on neoconservative empire-building and alt-right white nationalism alike, and how our common cultural understanding of the ancient world has been perpetually white-washed to promote a clash of civilizations narrative and racist pseudo-science.

We are joined by Dr. Sarah E. Bond, Associate Professor at the University of Iowa, and Dr. Cord Whitaker, Associate Professor at Wellesley College.
