Thank you for uploading this. The freedom of speech, alternative media and access to knowledge provided through the internet is easily one of the most valuable assets to empowering the individual. One question though; What about the influence of social darwinism on colonial ideology? It is one of the most dehumanizing facilitators for anti-Semitism, racism and abortion. It easily slots into the paradigm of those who relish the opportunity to classify others as "sub-human" or "not-human" for personal gain.

read losurdo's "counterhistory" book on that and more. It's reversed: colonialism (1500s) => neo-slavery => racism => social darw (1800s).

True, but don't forget that in today's era, it is also SJW's - the ideological opposite - that seek to dehumanize, and use it as a basis for violence & oppression "of bad people" or even Racial & Gender Guilt & false redemption, in a more minor way.
