Observant Christians, Jews and Muslims have very much in common, in that they share very many values and beliefs. The people of modern day 'Western' secular democratic Nations have broken away from their religious foundational values, beliefs and traditions, and are therefore much further removed from Christianity than Christianity is to Judaism and Islam.
I wish he had made a comment regarding the nature of Rule of Law. Many get the idea that if a law is passed by some legislative body, then that law can claim respect that Rule of Law commands. The big question is, is the law as passed a good law, how does the legislature decide that, is it universal in its nature so that it doesn’t favor one set of the electorate over other sets.
"The fix is complicated", said the politicians and elites of late roman empire. I have some respect for fukuyama, his analysis is devoid of any esoterism and word salads. But his messianic ideas about liberal democracies and end of history are so pedantic on their face. Human creativity and complexity is always unpredictable, humans will keep making history and come up with new ideas and political systems and problems, don't sell human imagination and will so short.
I predict that she will be the best diversity hire that Hollywood has ever known. She's a woman, she's brown, she's a feminist, she's an activist who, in her own words, "puts activism into every film that she makes". With Woke credentials like that, she'll be the Toast of Tinseltown!! The Belle of the Ball.
The occupation forces administration of post war Germany, the Nuremberg trials were monstrous travestis of anything close to the true principles of what law and justice had been before the occupation and will only be re-etablished once the occupation ends, the Basic Law is repealed and a real constitution of and by the people of Germany is created and installed. Until then to talk of Germany as a democratic nation is fundamentally wrong, Germany is still under foreign occupation and according the UN resolutions 53 and 107, is still an enemy belligerent, liable to a military invasion at any time the Three Powers take that decision.
It is always a pleasure hearing Dr. Ibrahima Seck on a lecture series. A very knowledgeable teacher. Thank you for giving this enlighten information. I had never to think of slavery within Senegal. It's a whole history that needs to be discuss further.
This presentation needs way more views. My father's family side is from this area and from across the Mississippi. Our history of resistance should known and told. I've spoken to Gwendolyn Mildo Hall (RIP) and to Dr. Ibrahim Seck and a few occasions about our ancestry here and in West Africa. Thank You for the diligent and hard research work.
Brilliant man. I admire his work. For some reason, maybe temperament or status-seeking or TDS, he won't (seriously) discuss the topic of HBD (let alone satisfactorily refute its importance). E.g., he thinks the Mezzogiorno problem (the so-called southern problem) is culture and history based. But where does culture spring from? Northern and Southern Italy have surprisingly different genetic makeup. But he doesn't take this into account. Great scholar nonetheless. And totally unfairly treated with regard to the end of history thesis (which is still largely correct or at least persuasive).
When ruminating on ways the US system should be changed, he uses examples of States that... are significantly less successful than the US. He even mentions Portland! Also, I understand singling out Trump but what he got against Ted Cruz, who is a standard republican? Notice that none of his examples are democrats or democrat endorsed policies.
Why would anyone want to read anything this guy had to say? Did he not write The End of History and the Last Man? The book describing the greatness of Western democracies? Guess he did not know what he was talking about!!
"Thoughts that have been displaced" - There is politics because they have not been displaced rather they have been transformed & they want freedom / breathing room from the framings which Anglo-Western academia has created for them using terms like colonial, decolonization or post-colonial to engage with modernity on their own terms.
To assume that new ways of solidarity can be forged between modes of past & present is naive and can only be seen as a possibility if one overlooks the 'chains of contineous change' before, during & after colonization. All changes are destructive & constructive at same time so while i see a lot of willingness for 'destructive' change among scholar-activists i see them being 'conservative' abt. criticisms of the same changes.

No. You need also political institutions that protect those activities: You need a legal institution that deal with disputes among them. You need a police force to protect them from lawless gangs. You need a military force to protect them from invasion from outside. You need the rule of laws that limit power of the rulers. You need the accountability (democratic process) so that the rulers can be replaced orderly without civil wars.

Nothing has changed at the German Justice Ministry. After Reunification in 1990 the Justice Ministry hand in hand with the Finance Ministry and Parliament legally stole for a third time Berlin apartment buildings from Austrian Jewish Nazi victims, enriching again their State coffers. The descendants in an attempt to seek Justice filed a lawsuit in the USA against Germany for Thefticide and Unjust enrichment. Germany's request to dismiss the lawsuit has been denied. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lFkI-u5iSHM.html
Muslim world is corrupted by their own "holy" book. The book calls non-muslims as "kafirs" who should be taxed (jaziya, tax on non-muslims), coerced and economically boycotted (halal, buy only muslim made), or killed (jihad) - all of this unless they surrender to Islam. This indoctrination and ingrained hatred for the Jews and Christians is why muslims are radicals. Many of them are taught such radical thoughts in madarsas (muslim schools) from the age of 6 to 18 before they actually get to see the real world. The moment muslims cross the 30% barrier in any constituency in a democratic nation, then their ugly demands about shariya laws will surface. If they are majority, then of-course the others are destroyed - we saw how Persian culture was destroyed, how pakistan went from 25% non-muslims to today under 1%, how Egyptians were converted, how Sphynx was destroyed, how Buddhism was destroyed including Bahamian Buddha monuments, How the worlds oldest university (nalanda) was destroyed... Islamophobia is Common Sense! We Christians & Jews (and Buddists, others) better get real about this!
Why no questioning og how democracy is not even working in America where all of the issues used criticise it's effectiveness in other places can be found in spades.....the fact that people see that it is not working there is the most critical factor in the lack of belief in democracy itself.
Highlights of democratic hypocrisy and sweets to low educated public... Democracy is from the Ancient Greek denounced as a unethical and manipulative project to use low class population for keeping power out from the nobles authorities...
And after the war... "A history of NATO ans Nazis" and "NATO's secret Armies" There's also Nazis in Ukraine, with current events and post WWII history. If history does nor repeat itself, it definitely rhymes a lot.
What a joke, he talks about the US as if it's not a corrupt failed state! In the USA 99% of all elections, from federal to local are won by the party who spends the most money. That's not democratic at all. The USA is a failed terror state, funds and arms, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Azov neo Nazis, Saudi Arabia in it's genocide against Yemen, turned Syria into a failed state with open slave markets, etc. etc. etc. Neo cons always leave out the important parts when it doesn't fit their narrative to get a job with the corrupt administration in power in the US at the time.
