After watching this video, I’ve began to realise why the term “genocide” is becoming so aggressively overused, especially in the context of the current war in Gaza
Get AI to scan all these academic papers and analyze "fads" in language and thought over time, like Fynn-Paul's claim that "genocide" recently arose in the 1970s and became dominate after 2000. I doubt Critical Theory happened separate from the revisioning of genocidal capitalism.
@@markmcflounder15 A view that colonial markets exploited whatever, including peoples' lives. Or other people's pre-colonial markets. It's not a scholarly phrase but it's implied in the literature when colonial history is critiqued. The literature does use other phrases, like cultural genocide.
Genocide & Logical Consistency Some 8 million natives died from disease & therefore this was gen-o-side. Where did the Bubonic Plague come from? Is this likewise a gen-oh-side??? Or are those making the compliant against the Europeans also in denial???
There is plenty of documentation from Indigenious students with life stories of how the schools helped to prosper their families. Residential schools operated over a hundred yrs with only a small time period and scattered schools, of nasty teachers. Most were good.

@@TanyaJoyce that's one way of reframing it, but then how does that frame non- consensual sterilization? Or access to basic necessities ie: clean drinking water or the laws against openly speaking their ancestral language or practice of their cultural and spiritual beliefs? When you remove the knowledge of an ancestry by removing the children from their culture or their ability to communicate with their elders then you effectively have 'killed' that culture. This is aside from the LARGE amount of deaths that did occur because they were considered less than their colonizer counterparts. This is not new in history, it happened many times in many locations. The difference is that now there is open and 'loud' communication about it. Pretending it happened differently than it did or only understanding one point of view about it, does not change the truth of what occurred and to some degree is still occurring today.
Well I guess back when you could become a CEO with just a firm hand shake on an interview, Buy a house for 35 cents, and get an doctorate for a hand job. This is how one thinks

Over 100,000 people is genocide
Great talk. We need as many of these woke refutations as we can get! I'll definitely be getting the book.

This is pretty typical leftist distortion & dodge
What is capitalist genocide?
Critical Theory is propaganda & horribly false & demagoguery
Where was gen-o-cide used for native Amer. before 2000?

Name one
@@Mr.Witness Talk to the Indeginious. An honest one will tell you.
@@ce3547 Lived experience? Really thats your source\evidence? Go out and find a “honest” indigenous person ?
How do I verify their honesty ?
@@Mr.Witness How are you verifying their genocide stories today?

More please.
I find it interesting that bad academic work leads to bad politics and laws.
This is very dangerous.
Thank you for that interesting talk. I'm so grateful for this channel and your website. Just preordered Lynn-Paul's book. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for pushing back against the lying accusations of the "historians".
Not Stolen. An excellent read that I highly recommend.

@@Ever_Hermost of them died from disease you left out that part.
I would like to hear Prof. Flynn-Paul address the Marxist dialectics of the genocide rhetoric. (Ah, so he does briefly later on.)
