Matt Walsh Makes DESPERATE Pivot To...Colonialism? 

Someone should steal Walsh's house and bank account at gunpoint and remind him that this is nothing more than colonialism on an individual scale.

Is he implying that it’s OK to do whatever you want as long as it benefits you? Because colonization certainly didn’t benefit the Native Americans.

I always say, those who support slavery, genocide, colonialism, etc... should be first in line to experience it, since it was so great.

Matt's going with the argument that humans can't be good without the threat of divine punishment. He makes this argument because he's a terrible person.

I think what the MR crew’s analysis is missing is that the service that Walsh is selling is to help his viewers explain their bigoted views to others or when challenged. This is why he presents both the argument that colonization isn’t a bad thing and we are not colonizers. He is addressing how to respond to the types of critiques that he anticipates his audience members will be confronted with and this is also why his audience tunes in. It’s not simply about being in an echo chamber. It’s also for preparation, to both inoculate against differing opinion (here’s what people are going to say about your beliefs and they’re wrong) and as a coaching for how to haughtily respond to anyone who might challenge their intuitions on these topics. It gives these ridiculous perspectives more weight to the people who use them, for the same reason that repeating a lie makes it more believable.

Matt Walsh has now convinced me that every alien invasion movie ever made should have ended with all of humanity being wiped out. You know, for the betterment of the new alien society that would've grown from it. All that fighting for human survival crap was just plain selfish and wrong!

Matt Walsh: Hates cancel culture Also Matt Walsh: Loves absolute rule and complete silencing of dissent thru genocide and colonization

Walsh is a PDF File. Couldn't be more obvious. All the grifters are in some kinda closet, and his, is the kiddie one...

Eric Andre: do you think the British Empire had respect for human dignity? Matt Walsh: Yes! Of course! Eric Andre: do you think they effectively utilized respect for human dignity when R. E. H. Dyer committed the Jallianwalah Bagh Massacre and murdered between 500-1000 civilian protesters?

You know I was wondering when we were going to get to the "White Man's Burden" arc regarding Matt Walsh; can't say I'm really surprised either.

Yep you know what they say when someone enslaves you, attacks you and takes control of your home: "Thanks for all this Human Dignity you gave me!"

Imperialism, colonialism, genocide etc. is just GOOD. Duh? Orwell couldn't even TRY to envision how Orwellian these people actually are. It's truly incredible. Upside down world. Good is evil, evil is good. Unbelievable.

"They were ripping out the hearts of children to their sun gods" Wait til you find out what Christians did in the name of their God, Matt.

"Colonization was a force of good, it was introducing the rule of law, public health, human dignity!" And in other news, an Irish cemetery has been destroyed by the centrifugal force of Matt Walsh's ancestors rolling in their graves.

I have a degree in history, and nothing is more insulting than what Matt is saying about indigenous cultures. The history of the Americas is brutal and I took a class specifically on Mexico. Colonialism was a dehumanizing force and Matt’s audacity in this clip cannot be understated.

"Colonization is good. Now let me tell you why decolonization is GENOCIDAL" Does this man even hear himself?

So, by his logic, if the current trend of society is toward progressiveness, then primitive traditionalists should just accept that as a better way of life a d stop resisting progress, right?

His anti-trans bigotry, Christian and white nationalism, and attitudes towards teenage girls are all different forms of colonialism, so this is nothing new.

"We had to bring civilization to the savages", that's some old school imperialism.

“His gender-affirming outfits.” Dead.

Matt is weirdly honest for a conservative. Like sure he lies all the time but he's honest about his feelings and intentions. He genuinely wants to cause suffering and misery for anyone who's different from him simply for being different from him and thinks those things are genuinely good. Like, he's quite possibly the best argument for the existence of true evil in the modern era.

If Walsh got enslaved by aliens, he'd just understand they had better tech, and be the best most productive slave he possibly can. Good to know. 👾

How he just so casually says that people getting murdered is good for humanity is rather scary

"rural dude" with this soft hands, this well treated and clean skin? Matt Walsh would faint before gettin' the 10th corn cob of the day. I doubt he could even lift an axe to chop a thin rotten branche... 🤠

So Matt Walsh's whole argument is "Genocide of 'primitive' peoples = wholesome and based; while genocide of whyte people = bad".

Conservatism is basically cognitive dissonance.

I will never understand how anyone unironically can lIsten to Matt and think he's correct lmao

Why is it always the "don't tread on me" types who make defenses for imperialism and colonialism?

Look Judge, it wasn't robbery and kidnapping, it was colonization. I came in and introduced the rule of law and now I'm living better lives now! It's good for all of us!

Walsh doesn’t mean colonization. He’s pretending Europeans merely forced Native Americans to join our society, not that we stole their land and killed anyone who defended themselves.

I grew up in nations "founded" by colonialisation, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia to name a few countries I lived in. They were victims from such policies. These countries wealth was taken away to the Empire under the guise of colonialism. They promised so much to the people but offered nothing in the long run. Whole swathes of land was stolen from the Indigenous community and mined for minerals using very dirty and cheap mining methods that polluted the lands, the rivers and the people living near by. Has Matt Walsh ever travelled to these countries that experienced such political policies?

This isn't the first time MAP Walsh has said "colonialism is good, actually"

And at the same time people like Matt would say that former colonies are only poor because they are "lazy" or "too stupid" to run or build functioning societies on their own. He actually wants his subjects to develop stockholm syndrome, so they would serve his needs for all time and treat him like a wise sage or god of some kind. But of course he calling himself a theocratic fascist is just a "joke" .... 😂 Sure, Matt... sure...

"We aren't colonizers! . . .buuuuuut, if we werrrrrrre colonizers that wouldn't be so bad because colonization has always been a force for good."

The banjo just adds a “Deliverance” vibe.

The more I see of Matt Walsh, the less surprised I am that he barely managed to graduate from high school.

"Go learn about human dignity in the silver mines!"

Love the banjo in the background. Can you imagine Matt Walsh playing the banjo? I can't. I know it's a fake background, but is he even fooling anyone? Fooling himself?

Rule of law... public dignity... and also genocide. Ah yes, colonialism so good... 🤔

If you can't trust a guy who only wears shirts you see on Brawny paper towels, who can you trust?

Matt Walsh unironically using Governor Ratcliffe talking points

"Historically colonization has been a force for good." That's it. The internet broke my brain early this morning. I literally laughed like a crazy person when he said that because it's so ludicrous.

Funny, Map Walsh is the one running on the limbic lobe (i.e animal instinctual beliefs) part of his brain.

"decolonisation refers to a genocidal ideaology" sorry since when does walsh have an issue with genocide

As a trans person, watching right-wing media hate machine pivot back to Muslims after the last two years is surreal. I am now honor-bound to support Muslims on this.

I could've been fighting a jaguar to the death or had my heart offered to the sun god, instead I'm on antidepressants and paying rent this is *BULLSHIT*

And don't forget stealing all the resources for your own benefit Matt. I am quite sure that was the most important part of having colonies. 😂

can we really consider that a pivot, or just a return to form?

Sam just wants a better future world for all of us... without Matt Walsh.

The "europe as a force of civilizing good" argument has always been hilarious to me. It demonstrates a *total* lack of understanding of European history, for a start. I mean, look at what was going on in Europe contemporaneously with the colonization period. It was the fucking Wars of Religion. Cromwell. The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Sweden. Oh my god fucking Sweden in this period. Everybody looks at how nice and pleasant the Nordic states are now and just assumes they've been like that forever, but man, Sweden in prior to the Great Northern War was a monstrous war machine bent on murdering every Catholic it could find. Of course, that's somewhat understandable if you look at what the Catholics were doing at that point. Point being, while Europe might not have been practicing 'human sacrifice' as such at the time, they were busily depopulating Germany, hanging children from every other tree, and setting fire to each other's churches based on how many fingers the local priest used to bless people. The only reason the Wars of Religion calmed down was because Europe exported the violence...which worked for a while until the French started experimenting with offensive forms of government.

Dude doesnt even stop to consider "what if my home was colonized?"

Colonization is good for the colonizer, sure. But colonialism is never good for the conquered. And thats the fundamental lack of empathy that Matt Walsh cant feel for anyone who doesnt look and think exactly like himself. Also who does he think was here before the native Americans?

the fact that Walsh is so comfortable in his racism in 2023 is not a great sign

Matt "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" Walsh just unknowingly made the case for Stalinism / Maoism...

The Banjo is an African instrument

Matt "Public Health is a Force For Good" Walsh, I'll take this reinventing himself as a vaccination and quarantine advocate.

The moors who were black Africans brought the rule of law bathing regularly and castle building to Spain Portugal and parts of Italy

Wow! A conservative who's shamelessly defending colonialism and slavery, well that's a new concept, who could have ever imagined something like that happening.

His arguments are so obviously fallacious that its embarrassing, to pretty much claims the ends justified the means essentially. By his logic, he shouldn't have any issue with drug dealers because they better their lives with wealth from selling narcotics to people. Where else would druglords be if it didnt require some people to die?

Matt Walsh defending colonialism? Why he's only done that like 3-4 time already!

i wanna cut off all of matt walsh’s food water and electricity and tell him he has 24 hours to make a run for it 💣💀

I say this with 100% sincerity, Matt Walsh should be in prison for all or the lies and pure hatred he has spread. Hes inspired multiple bomb threats and hate crimes but he'll never held accountable

Rule of law? The founding fathers based our system off the Iroquois and what they had already established. In other words the Indigenous population taught the whyte settlers not only how to feed themselves but how to not act like a bunch of......savages😂

Good on Emma for weaving in Disney's Pocahontas. Check out the lyrics for the song "Savages". When I lived near Jamestown a few years ago, I showed my young daughters that movie and they couldn't believe the awful lyrics to that song and that some humans felt that way about other humans. They were 3 and 5...Walsh is in his 40s.

Literally had this conversation with a family member just before Indigenous People's Day when I confronted them about their derision of the renaming of Columbus Day. I kept trying to talk about the genocide and slavery while they pivoted to the benefits of western civilization (and Christianity), how indigenous tribes were not peaceful with one another, and how Africans sold people into slavery. I kept saying: "sure, but what about the genocide?" I never got a direct or honest response, just deflection.

I look into my flat nightmare rectangle and hear a voice echo that "this is better, this is civilization" I imagine being a humble native farmer with no phone and only my animals and the grace of the earth AND I WEEP

Rule of law = witch trials 😂😂😂 The things we celebrate

Very amusing to frame it that way. "Colonizers brought public health...and smallpox."

Morons, like Matt, don't seem to realize that colonialism was also done between nations of equal development (Romans against Greeks, Greeks against Persians), and even done by less developed peoples against more developed nations (Mongol and Viking conquests and colonization for example). Is he really a fan of the Roman colonization of Palestine? The Jews didn't seem to like it, at the time. The roads and aqueducts weren't enough.

I remember watching Pocahontas with my oldest daughter in the 90s. She loved it. I despised it, still do. It was disgusting & embarrassing.

I’m sure the indigenous Americans saw the ships and said “Hey, Colonizers!!! Cool”

This thing is gonna get ugly. Now that the world is becoming aware of the accurate historical account, they are saying it wasn't so bad opposes to lying it didn't happen

Matt Walsh is at the top of the list of right wingers that trigger me the most.

Matt Walsh only has that banjo because his favorite movie is “Deliverance”. Specifically the Ned Beatty scene.

Friendly reminder that jared from subway + an Al Borland from Home Improvement halloween costume = Matt Walsh

"Human shields" only seem to be an active excuse when dealing with Palestine anyways... since when was that a thing outside of this context

If my name were Mat, I would change it. The guy is ruining Mathew status for all Mats. He's off his nut. 😂😂😂😂😂

I can never watch Walsh without hearing the theme to "Deliverance" in my head the entire time. And you gotta admire Christians telling how much they contributed to the places they stole.

I’m afraid these people are going to get an outsized voice in the upcoming years

So he thinks the Aztecs ruled all of North America? Actually, knowing his educational history, he probably does.

50 years later america blows up the world, while if those indigenous peoples had been left alone they may still be living a sustainable healthy life.

Thank you guys for all the work you’re doing

European colonisation began in the 15th and 16th century and he really said it introduced 'public health and dignity'.... In the 1400 & 1500's? Aside from the fact that there was little to no public health or dignity until many centuries later. This is a point in time where being boiled or burned alive was a common punishment in Europe.

Everyone is better off. Especially those aboriginals still around today. They live extraordinary lives....right Matt? Matt Walsh is a fool. Simple as that. The colonization process of the Americas alone ended with the needless deaths and sufferings of tens of millions. We have to understand that to move on and rebuild the native american territories. Also, they need more representatives in the US and Canadian governments. More American aboriginals in government.

Can conservatives ever NOT have an absolutely insane take on any topic, like ever? EVER??? Why are they always so willing to side with brutality, cruelty and genocide?

"Human dignity" yeah, Bartolome de las Casas would dissagree

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for him. He made a career on one topic and what is a woman, and sooner or later, it is going to run out steam I can say this, when I was a teenager in the 1990s, (and I was NO fan of his) Rush Limbaugh was everywhere. Now, love him or hate him, he knew how to do the radio style show that made up most morning shows of the time. He knew how to do sound bytes, voices, impersonations, one liners and all the stuff that made morning shows take off.He was bascially a right wing shock jock that knew how to engage. Matt Walsh, and a lot of these modern day ones, don't have that. They have zero talent, zero ability to be really engaging and mainly just have platforms where they blandly blabber how much they hate everything. It is not a formula for success or longevity. Sure, he will probably always have his fans that are ready to troll Twitter, and ask what a woman is at the drop of a hat, but he is not going to have the staying power that he seems to think. One trick ponies, finally become boring. Of course, Matt Walsh is not smart enough to realize that. He is not funny, he is not appealing, he just sits there and smugly runs his mouth. His day will end.

Frantz Fanon would agree with him. Decolonisation is a violent bloody affair because the colonises don’t want to let go. So, if you’re going to colonise a place, you should understand the risk and take personal responsibility for what might happen. This is just another case of the right wing, not understanding what personal responsibility is and cause and reaction. They have a terrible understanding about how the world works.

Average Republican: "Have you heard about this new thing called... 'colonialism'? They don't teach that in schools!" Clearly.

Omg! Walsh takes the opposite position of basic decency for clicks!

In Karen Blixen's book she writes about witnessing a Kikuyu court proceeding where a child accidently killed another child with a gun. The trial was meant to appropriate the correct amount of goods to compensate the family who has lost a child and to bring the other child back into the community. It is quite a contrast to European court proceedings with public punishments and imprisonment for stealing food.

Am I in a time loop? I swear I saw this EXACT episode months ago, but then 11:20 in Walsh mentions the recent attacks and I was like "So this IS recent?!" Anyone else feel like they've seen this EXACT F'ING segment before?

Ask the Anishinabee, the Seminole, the Cherokee how great colonialism was/is.

Well, what do you expect of right ideology, its the same reasons they have why we should just submit to corporate and Oligarchs power, they are our betters.

A father looking at the hand and foot of his child. The story goes: "He hadn’t made his rubber quota for the day so the Belgian-appointed overseers had cut off his daughter’s hand and foot. Her name was Boali. She was five years old. Then they killed her. But they weren’t finished. Then they killed his wife too. And because that didn’t seem quite cruel enough, quite strong enough to make their case, they cannibalized both Boali and her mother. And they presented Nsala with the tokens, the leftovers from the once living body of his darling child whom he so loved. His life was destroyed." If colonialism is "so great" would Walsh accept his fate to be that of the Nsala? Knowing that future would enjoy such "rewards". Or does he see himself as the "enlightened man of the west" who goes on to butcher a child?

Keep in mind the time period Matt was talking about priests removing hearts was the same time period people were beheaded and used for decoration, or being boiled alive by the government.

The king of Congo being Christian sure didn't stop Leopold

At the same time the Aztec Empire was killing people, the Spanish Empire was offering Jews up as sacrifices to their god. In a less cheeky tone, I'd add that the victims of the Aztec Empire traded one cruel master for another.

Take his 💰, take his 🪕, have all his flannel… 8:07 😂😂😂 “Take his banjo” cracks me up.

Atilla the Hun provided rule of law to the territories that were under his conquest.
