I, as a Nigerian, cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see a westerner who is talking about the history of slavery with such objective lenses. The fact that Mister Starkey even mentioned the Arab slave trade and the practice of castrating African men and raping the women tells me that he one academic worth respecting because he is not simply spouting the "official" narrative for political correctness.

Slavery have existed in pretty much every ancient empire in every continent in it's different forms. What the white people did in Europe was nothing remarkable or especially cruel in bigger picture compared to what has happened everywhere else. Like e.g. in Aztec empire which used slaves as one of their main sacrificial resource. Arabs and Ottomans on the other hand used both Europe and Africa as their source for all kinds of slaves for hundreds of years. From fighters to workers to sex slaves they used, and also sold to others. Like to European nations in later times. It was not called Ottoman slave empire for nothing. Difference is that at point when European nations started to rise in global power, they had developed both maritime and warfare technology to a new level which gave them advance over other most contemporary powers so that they could expand their empires more easily around the globe than anyone had done before them and they had firepower to subjugate others from America to Asia, if anyone else wanted to prevent them doing that. Vikings had already done similar things, pillaging resources, taking and trading slaves, exploring and colonizing new continents before, but in smaller scale. They had colonies e.g. in Newfoundland and Greenland, but they did in hundreds of years before Europeans with much more limited technology and support, thus their colonies seemed to fail. Too far off with no support and supply routes with smaller vessels. But for modern woke left there was none of this, they only focus on things white Europeans did. Like slavery and slave trade had not been commonplace all around long before Europe even had anything to call as empires.

Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon Of Akkad) did an excellent, long video on the real history of slavery several years ago. Among other things I learned was that, at one stage, the richest man in the world was an African king whose kingdom's economy was based almost entirely on the taking and selling of slaves. Another point that occurred to me is that we don't hear about slavery in the East. I find it hard to believe that there was no slavery in the Chinese empires, or the various kingdoms between India and China, but this is never talked about. Why?

Well, actually is not an obscure or conspiracy theory. It´s well known and recognized by historians : Roma, The USA and pre -contemporary Muslim world (mainly the Otoman Empire) have been the more brutal Slavery based Civilizations on Earth. What Mister Starkey forgot to mention was the genocide committed on Native Americans, the substrate upon which the slavery in America was applied.

He was so insightful up until his take on mandatory vaccination of the public against their will. Well.. that take was insightful also... a window into his mindset. Seemingly based and rational, only to then go off onto a plank of mandates and absolute compulsion and coercion being totes ok. 100% agreement is not achievable, and thats ok. Great interview.

he has fallen into the trap of believing these vaccines are as preventative as the polio vaccines. Surprising someone so bright has such a blind spot and I wished KK had the opportunity to push back on it more but Starkey didn't give him the chance

Yes, after a lifetime of hero worship, I am bitterly disappointed. So sad that someone who has great intellect, cannot see how unethical it is to mandate experimental medical procedures. He was born just after WW2, which brings many boomer tropes to mind.

But isn't it refreshing that those who disagree with him in response to your comment aren't demanding that he be cancelled? We can agree to disagree and in the spirit of debate that's a healthy thing. And who knows, maybe Mr. Starkey will think more deeply on the subject and come back with another take on things.

@@PibrochPonder I agree Jim. I wish they’d been more direct and factual in what David was accused of in that he apparently has a history of subtle bigotry. Racism is stupid and for dummy’s (which is actually one of my thoughts in Starkey defence because to me it doesn’t make sense that a highly intelligent person would think less of people because of the colour of their skin) but I also think like you said the way many of these supposed anti woke channels of reason essentially threw Starkey to the dogs cheapened them for me, everyone talks about backbone but there was little of it when the incident happened. As I remember the guys disavowed his comments in the strongest terms and yet if they truly felt like that why didn’t they push for answers in this conversation? Unfortunately I think the truth was they were scared of not disavowing which I think is hypocritical considering the advice they give to others (self preservation maybe) and it also shows that the woke still have a very powerful card when it comes calling out racism, rightly and wrongly that seems to make most turn yellow. No ones perfect but it did make me think a little less of them.

He makes a great older mans case against wokism and I thank him for that. But his defense of the mandates was simply weak. This isn’t polio the effectiveness as well as the effects are not equatable. We were able to get to zero polio yes fortunately so, but we will never be reaching that this time so it should be looked at as the relatively unique situation it is. There is a strong case of battling it as it’s own thing and not a mirror image of polio. He simply isn’t looking at the clear repercussions over time of these ideas institutionalizing. It begins to look more and more like the CCP. Great conversation gentlemen thank you.
@bobibufi13892 жыл бұрын
it is mindboggling really. With his wealth of knowledge, IQ, and first hand experience of how history is written and many times adjusted, he simply decides to blindly trust a presented science he knows very little about but must be aware there are the same dangers of various motivations of men. His argument against body autonomy is truly weak. So we can have all these eloquent academic debates about the importance of body autonomy in western democracy when it does not matter, but the moment it matters he says - i'm sorry you live in a society, your body our choice. Not to mention 99% survival rate for the most of the population and the fact the long term side effects are unknown.

I completely agree. Absolutely it cannot be compared to vaccines who had gone through long term trials. His attitude reminded me of trans activist. It is not enough to decide to take the vaccine, but to think your decision gives you the right to compel others. Certainly to desire others to be given experimental medical procedures they don't want, is more sinister than compelled speech.

@@bobibufi1389 Agreed, and if it were polio he would at least have more of an argument but it’s not polio because of all the reasons you mentioned. And because of all the knowledge that we’ve gained since 1918 it’s not even the Spanish flu. My concern is more with the loss of meaning in peoples lives and their need for God. A society that holds materialism, wealth as the top of the hierarchy will inevitably yearn for more there’s always a pull toward oneness, love. “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Love Dr David Starkey. He helped to develop my interest in history as I watched his documentaries on Monarchy and the 6th wives of Henry the Eighth and reading his books. I think society is becoming too PC (political correct) and I agree with him. People are scared to talk about these things as we are getting discouraged to voice our opinions because of possibly offending people. I have no problem with these topics and I respect that we live in a multi cultural community. I lived in Japan for 10 months on a working holiday visa and had a wonderful time and I am looking forward to going back in the future. I think people need to accept that our history is not always a bed of roses and that history is written by the victors. I myself am non religious but am able to understand and respect others have the right to choose to follow their beliefs

He was misinformed on that point. The data suggests that the vaccine doesnt stop the spread at all. But we dont need it to.
