I've been "binge watching" professor Roy's lectures for 3 days now! I gotta say I wish I had such lecturer in my years in college... This is just absolutely wonderful way of educating... Every single thing is interesting and engaging! Edit: btw, did you just talk about Michael Oakeshott?!!! Here you go, I fulfilled the prophecy, lol!

Dr. Casagranda, since I came across your KZfaq channel, there has been no day passed for me without listening to your extraordinary past & current lectures. Keep inspiring us with your knowledge. May Allah bless you & your family.

This man is an Encyclopedia. Very informative. So many things make sense now.

Roy Casagranda is a breath of fresh air. Getting to the truth explained with great simplicity.

I love the way he says it was the war against Islam not Muslim. They can defeat Muslims, but they cannot defeat Allah. Thank you for the information

Just finished listening to this over the course of a couple walks. Still in awe at your ability to tell a grand story, leave out the right details, give just enough vignettes and side stories, not drop the main narrative, stay attuned to which references your audience is catching or isn't, disrupt the right myths, give enough room for the uncomfortable interpretation without insisting on it (laying these seeds). It's really brilliant. Plus you said a lot of stuff I've learned to not say aloud and would be shocked to hear from a lectern. I appreciate it so much and am excited for part two (and three)! ❤️❤️

Can't get enough of Prof. Roy 😀 Please share more of his lectures 🙏

Best political science professor in history 👍👍

I'm a Pole. Been looking for islam and christian lectures, listened to some of them (they were awesome, Roy is great lecturer), and then stumbled upon this one. And i generally agree, about this whole Poland thing... But not really. Yes, PiS destroyed our democracy, but not beyond repair (that is partially thanks to UE). They did take over public media, but they didn't manage to take all of them, there is still freedom of speech, just not in public ones (which is still insane enough). We DID apologise for Jedwabne, two times, befor PIS came to power. And PiS coming to power has little to do with Jedwabne itself, which was a shock for us. It's just most old people in Poland are catholic and conservative. Jedwabne approach by PiS is just a consequence of this style of thinking (and don't get me wrong, i do think it is stupid as hell). But, we are not nazi a state/country whatever you want to call it. Our borders are free to all people, and you can see that in our cities for some years now, but at the same time you have to remember that Poland, thanks to nazi germany, was for decades most hegemonous country (coming from one of the least before war) in Europe. There were only Poles. And just like Japanese because of that we are wary of different cultures, and just like USA we are afraid of People coming from unstable Arab countries even more. Changes in Poland have to happen slowly, as we are starting from the beginning, unlike USA where you can find literally every nation in the world, on every corner of every bigger city... Where whole country was created on this premise. You just can't understand it, coming from that environment. And yes, we do have concentration camps, but they do should be called German concentration cams (in Poland) every freaking time, as they were created by Germans, peroid. As for incident you mentioned - yes, we have nazi and stupid guys, yes, we do have idiots as followers this catholic, far right PiS party. But we don't have terrorist attacks. And you also almost never hear about attacks on different nationalities, even though as I said we have more and more of them, and they are something absolutley new in our society. And trust me, ptivate media always report on those. Incidents like those you mentioned come mostly from this uneducated, scared people, who didn't ever see people in jihabs, but hear about terrorist attacks by arabs every day in TV (terrorist attacks which as you mention every time are somewhat a consequence of US involvement in middle-east). Those people don't want to have anything to do with this and are happy that things like that are not happening in here. And it's very, very easy to use those resentments in campaigns, by far right parties. You are smart, mr. Roy, but you are sometimes missing on cultural differences, which lead me to believe, you are a little bit biased. And, in this case, a little bit manipulative. Political changes in Poland are bad. Catholic, stupid masses are destroying this country, our reborn, young democracy is stumbling, but it is not as bad as you say. Yet. And hopefully It will change for the better. And, lastly, I have to agree that the way we are backsliding is similar to Russia. Ruling party using stupidity of old, uneducated, religious, conservative people to gain and stay in power. This is scary, but as I said - for many reasons situation in Poland is not yet as bad. And perspectives looking at our situation and society says it shouldn't be that bad. PS - Hungary is much worse. PS - and oh boy, if you want to talk about democracy, lets talk about jerrymandering, and other aspects of ridiculous voting system that in fact eliminates all but two biggest parties... Lets also talk about corporate and billionare financing of campaigns and polititians who work against public interest and science... I'd say it might be even worse. Democratic backsliding is unfortunately happening, but for some already happened a long time ago ;)

people start clapping Roy: "nah you don't have to do that, its weird" proceeds to chuckle lmfao i love this guy

It’s 1 in the morning & I can’t sleep … simply bcoz Dr. C has a way of explaining/ telling historical moments in an amazing , hilarious way. God protect this guy. This is the 4th lecture I am participating in , let’s just say my priorities in life are changing fast. Thank you. Plus he sounds alot like Jeff Bridges (huge fan) & the resemblance is 👌🏽

Expert warns of impending genocide in India. Gregory Stanton, the founder and director of Genocide Watch, said during a US congressional briefing there were early “signs and processes” of genocide in the Indian state of Assam and Indian-administered Kashmir. “We are warning that genocide could very well happen in India,” Stanton said, speaking on behalf of the non-governmental organisation he launched in 1999 to predict, prevent, stop and seek accountability for the crime. please make video on this one and spread awarness. It is really bad in india and it got worse in last 10 years and it is keep getting worse banning adhan, banning hijab, banned meat.

I like Professor Roy's lectures alot. He tel you the absolute truth which mainstream media and by extension social media don't tel you and always hide from you

I like how fair and transparent this guy. Does not favor one side over the other. And always gives context where context is due.

Roy is so amazing, such a relevant lecturer. The truth that's easy to comprehend!

@31.00 "they deny Aushwitz was in Poland" this is pure manipulation. What we were against was using word "polish death camp" as it may mislead audience that we, as Poles were responsible for this tragedy that Germans did on our land. And as we are aware that no one is obliged to know the advanced history, we just want to name it properly: "former n*zi german ..." Instead of polish. Yes, one may sat that "polish" reffers to geography. Well, we would not have a problem with it if it was about something else than death camp organised by our neighbours who wanted to exterminate us.

Former student of yours, thank you for posting these lectures ! Always making topics interesting and engaging !

Love the knowledge in Dr. Roy‘s lectures it’s so valuable and clear, it develops my curiosity to history more 💯💯❤️ -Love from your Yemeni Fans 🇾🇪

When the countries of the West wage war, it is called a banana, but when the owners of the land defend their land, they call it terrorism 1:48:40 very classic Overall, I really enjoyed the lecture

Great lecture. Thank you from Japan.

Dr. Casagranda, I am a great fan of your style of lecturing. This time you got a couple of things wrong, however: 1. There were over 21 thousands of Polish officers killed in what is widely known as "Katyń Massacre". Some of them were POW, some surrendered and some were Germany's POW's who were transferred to SU. They were all killed by the order of Stalin. A fact he denied so much, that even during the Nuremberg Trial SU's prosecutors were trying to sue Nazi's for that. 2. The Smolensk Plane Crash happened during the landing BEFORE the commemoration, not AFTER it. 3. As a result of the President Kaczynski's death, Bronisław Komorowski -- spokesman for the Sejm (Lower Chamber of Parliament) took over. He was one of the leaders of Platforma Obywatelska - Law and Justice's direct competition. Komorowski then went to become the president, having won the upcoming elections. Also, next year Parliamentary elections saw Law and Justice party loose again. 4. The Tomasz Gross book was widely discussed in Poland. Some of the debates are conducted across the line you pictured here. Huge part of that is also a dispute of exhumation of the remnants of the people buried there, so that proper investigation can be conducted on the nature of wounds and causes of death. No green light from the spiritual leader of the Jewish Community. 5. The Gross book--Law and Justice electoral success line of reasoning is very much over stretched. This is the first time I have heard it.

i enyoy this guy s lectures !! after an hour you still not sleeping and want to hear him explain more in his way !!

Excellent lecture. Learned a lot from it. Thanks professor Cassagranda 🙏

Roy is the most unbiased speaker out there..period 👍

This guy is a great lecturer. I wish i had his footnotes/primary references

Glad I stumbled across his lectures on youtube, initially came across his videos as he was saying something positive about Islamic history and its now ignored contribution to human progress, thought that was pretty brave of him as when it comes to Islam most people here in the west start foaming at the mouth, and take extreme views and behaviours within the world of Islam and present it as the norm Roy does not do this, as a muslim I really appreciate his honesty and research. Since then been watching his other lectures, boy he is a good and engaging story teller, has some interesting views, you can see his concern and love for his fellow human beings regardless of colour, race, orientation etc. I am about his age and would have loved to have met someone like him, so many ideas and views to exchange, keep it up Roy and well done to The Austin School for putting these lectures out there

I always come away learning something new when I watch Dr. Casagranda's lectures. Worth every minute.

Thank you,great lecture.Great insight. Always look forward to it.Peace.P.S we need part 1 and part 3 pls

Thank you for some new material!! Please remember to upload the other parts. I love sinking my teeth into a new one!

We need moreee!!!! 🙏

As Polish citizen i can do firm that Law and Justice is the worst. But also its kinda unfair to say "Poland is...." when describing whay L&J did. They had support from the elderly, the uneducated and the unemployed, by essentially buying votes. Luckily they lost the 2023 elections.

Your videos have mad my knowledge journey worth while... really amazing content. Never stop sharing it

Amazing lecture! Can't get enough of prof. Roy lectures. Unbiased and blunt truth teller, he is simply a global citizen.

the way he describes situations and communicates information is truly a piece of ART.

This is my third day of lecturing - I am gratefull that these lectures are uploaded and I am do excited to watch the next lectures

Dr Roy u are a blessing for history and geopolitical geeks

I recommend we all do our own research.

You are a national treasure, those students are so lucky to hear you every day

I’m glad i’m enjoying this talk on youtube, and that i don’t have to take a quiz on it.. it was packed with info… crazy great

Thank you for this lecture. I'm happy to see it.

He's definitely Left (way left of myself), but I enjoy his style, and he makes some really interesting points. I just discovered him earlier today, and already I have watched 4 videos.

Thank you Professor Roy, very informative. Thanks

You are simply great, thanks for telling us the truth.

love to watch your lecture as a IR student from Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Love your talks Prof. Hope to see you someday.

This lecture was amazing! Can’t wait for part 3. Thank you for the grace work!

Phenomenal. Thank you

At 1:49:38 I believe that the usage of the term "terrorists" there was an intentional irony. But, just to clarify for other viewers, these are called resistance fighters. These people are honorable, because they fight back and blow up invading forces. I can see why they might be viewed as terrorists by those invading forces, yet from an objective standpoint, they are called "the resistance". Differentiating between those two terms is very essential, because there are terrorists from an objective standpoint (ISIS for example). The differentiating factor are the targets, are they civilians who are not involved with any form of aggression, or an invading force.

I've started drumming to the rhythm of your lectures. Cuz I gotta fidget when learning this stuff. Quality stim time

I Just Love DR.Roy He is Truly The Only Lecturer Who Can Break The Ice in An Icy World Full of Madness & Selfishness

This man is a walking encyclopedia of historical and political events in the world...if you listened to his other lectures, of the last 5000 years! Kudos. So enlightening in the meantime entertaining.

A very interesting talk, I have learned a lot from this person. I cannot stop listening to this person.

Thank for all this information .

Pure art. The deliverance of knowledge. Order within chaos. Is what these lectures base on.

This should be watched obligatory by everyone. It's so weird from Europe perspective to hear about many problems that we don't even understand why did they happen and it all begins in US...

Roy reminds me my school teachers: History and Literature. I am wondering where those jewels are now. I miss those lessons. Governments should put these people in the spotlight for common citizens without superior educational opportunities. Believe or not, there are plenty of tutors/teachers like him.

Ancient and modern History being told about its total honest truth and reality. IS ITS OWN REVOLUTION

Excellent knowledgeable speaker..unbelievable

Never missing a beat.....Great talk

This stuff should have 3 or 4 more zeros at the end of the view count :(

Another great lecture by Professor Dude

Seeing the diverse people in the comments and in attendance gives me hope for the world 🌎 thank you roy and thank you to you if you're reading this

Much love from Cologne Sir Prof ♥️

You need your own comedy sketch... You have a great sense of humour and awesome at delivering. Do you have handouts of key points by any chance?

thanks for sahirng this lecture online. stay healthy.

Thanks!

Definitely require part one and two; such an interesting lecture

I learned about this from a Facebook friend. This is amazing. And clear-eyed. It should be a tremendous wake up call.

Thank you

This guy is an amazing lecturer, but I would take his class because I wouldn’t know what to study for his exams. But very informative for sure

33:41 - I am from India and can say he is right about his views for India!

Loved this Although am a bit skiptical (to put it mildly) about calling the man who drove the truck into the barracks of french and US Marines a "terrorist" I mean you do imagine for some Lebanese -fairly- that is a man who might have taken on himself to end a foreign interference in his country at the barracks killing mostly foreign soldiers in the process. I mean I can't understand how it's just normal while we never call say that about a drone operator dropping a bomb on an elementary school in Pakistan. I don't appreciate how it's for granted that anti-american is still terrorist even while admitting America's morally questionable (also to put mildly) reasons to go to war with those people in the first place 🤷 I think that's American internal double thinking 🤔 Although to be fair: I watched hours of this and I have to say I appreciate the fairness to others I mean it's rare to see this degree of non-orientalist take on history from western academics

I think you're right about the gap in the tapes. I remember talking about it on the school bus with someone when it was being reported, and 18 minutes is the number I remember.

Amazing lecture, I wish i was student again.

Looking forward to part 3

Brilliant...

I love this .I should have found you sooner

I tried to find Part 1 but I can't find it. Is it here somewhere with different name?

Can you upload these as podcasts please?

Love this guy.

You could make a nice TV show just from this lecture..

loved it. can't wait for the other parts.

I'm Polish and currently listening to this in Poland and although everything he said about our history is true, it's honestly not that bad 😅 also we've gotten rid of that nazi government in the last election and are now working on our abortion and LGBTQ rights. Give us a couple more years and we'll be the good guys again 😊

WE NEEED PART 1 PLEASE

As to polish officers killed by Soviets in Katyń and other related places it was not 2000 but 22000. As to catastrophe of the plane with polish officials it was while landing not after lift off. Great lecture by the way.

Man is a hench. Brilliant as usual.

WOW! Where have this guy been all this time!? What a scholar! Best greetings from Bahrain.

As per usual, an amazing talk by Prof. Roy.

We need people like this more!👏👏

Please give a part 2/3!!

21:10: "Lawn justice party" sounds awesome! 43:17: Before he was appointed as the prime minister, he was the director of Federal Security Service (FSB), which as I think is an important step in career. 01:10:50: Nowadays most of the jobs are "fake jobs", because of the planned obsolescence. Meanwhile, is that just an accident that the grow of nutz in Plnd after year 2000 went hand in hand with grow of nutz in Ukrn? Or there is a common sponsor/customer of these events that just poured money to "the right" plticians?

Where’s part 1??

26:14 - They weren't coming back from the ceremony, they were going to it and then they crashed.

The clapping at the end lol

I’m new to channel, and was listening and enjoying this, reading all the positive comment. But I must say my radar went off when Roy referred to many world leaders as nazis, (without any facts or arguments). I had to go back and review what I heard. And on some level it’s more of a political speech than academic in nature. There are a few facts here and there and then large conclusions and statements (call to emotion?) without any real arguments or proof.

Where is part 1?

I wish we had speakers/teachers like that in Europe :(

Brilliant speaker. No ums or ahs

Is It part 1 or 2?

I agree with the Professor that there is a relation between a regime´s conception of lgbt rights, its conception of human rights, its conception of reproductive rights and gender equality, and its conception of the rule of law and democracy. I agree that when the conception of rule of law and democracy and equality begins to teeter the other elements will also begin to teeter as well. To rights there correspond duties To right and law and duty there corresponds a fundamental notion of rationality which must be carefully discerned.
