This is the edited, audio polished version of a recent X space interview with an American history professor who spoke out about leftist academia and has been harassed ever since. We discuss many…
I mean, it's funny, even like, I think maybe 10 years ago, Courtney, or maybe 15 years ago, because like I said, I could be terrible ignorant.
I would have said, why, you know, why study history? It's, you know, why don't you go and learn like a trade or something? I would have been like narrow-minded.
But now that I think about it, as you said, it's absolutely crucial because if you don't teach the correct history, in come the Marxists with a distorted perception of history and And as I mentioned earlier, and they do a lot of damage to people's minds.
And you look at earlier, like I mentioned, you know, say with the Native American Indian stuff, the history of America, if you don't tell the truth about what happened, they distort and use that knowledge to actually teach something harmful, you know, and give people the wrong idea about their past, I suppose.
Yeah, it gives them the wrong idea.
And talking about the sorry day, I guess you were talking about down in Australia, the way that history, American history is taught here to students, and I'm talking well before they get to the university level, it is taught in such a way that American children not only have no patriotism, but they do carry this deep sense of guilt and shame of their country and of the system in which they're living.
So why wouldn't they then be open to, you know, the woke movement or to the deconstructionist worldview that's saying we need to tear it down and build something new, you know, part of a global system or what have you.
That's the whole end game there when it comes to infiltrating and subverting history as a discipline.
And unfortunately, And particularly here in the U.S., I'm not as adept in knowing what it's like in Europe.
The left has been extremely effective in doing that and in breaking down the true history of America.
The funny thing is when people study into communism and all the stuff that it's done and how insidious and pernicious and toxic it is, the way I look at it, Courtney, is that every single tactic or method you can think of, they've probably tried it, plus they're going to invent new ones, and they also tailor their tactics to different countries.
if i was looking at america and i wanted to subvert america and i was a communist i would keep pulling out that thread of racism or keep going on about you know the native american indians like i said or push the narrative that america is this global globetrotting imperialist force because it all produces the same effects in the minds of young americans like you said this kind of guilt i mean in ireland okay i don't knock you off track here but in ireland they're pushing stuff like you know white guilt and all this stuff you know even in ireland even the country we didn't have a colonial empire you know one of the few countries in europe who didn't and they distort like they cherry pick and distort the the i'm sure you're going to ask me you're curious a lot about the what's happening in ireland but you can probably imagine what it's like so i'm trying to say
Unfortunately, but you're absolutely right.
It's always tailor-made to the audience, but it's so adaptable, leftism, Marxism, in that you can push all of the buttons, use all of the words, and it can affect a broad audience.
And the purpose is all the same, just to tear down Western civilization, all of our institutions.
And they're doing a bang-up job in that right now.
So, you know, just to be clear, and it's probably me just being a retard here as usual, but the public school system and the university system in the States, if it's a public university, is part of the, I suppose, the state sponsored or state controlled side of things.
Correct.
So obviously you have K through 12 public schools, but then you get your public universities, like the one where I teach, and it does receive public funds.
