Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In which John Green teaches you about Imperialism, but not from the perspective of the colonizers. This week John looks at some Asian perspectives on Imperialism, specifically writers from countries that were colonized by European powers. We'll look at the writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani from the Middle East, Liang Qichao from China, and Rabindranath Tagore from India. these voices from the countries that were colonized give us a sense of how conquered people saw their conquerors, and gives an insight into what these nations learned from being dominated by Europe. It's pretty interesting, OK? A lot of this episode is drawn from a fascinating book by Pankaj Mishra called The Ruins of Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia. You should read it. SUBBABLE MESSAGES! To Ellen, from Charles: I love you, you are the best. Arrr. To Crash Course, from Shawn, Mike, Sophia, and Jake: Thank you for using humor while educating and inspiring. [Thanks guys! ] You can directly

The indian and the chinese guy are sore losers, and you mr. green obviously suffer from self-serving white guilt. Cause last I checked, in India they have the caste system, meaning you were born to work for pennies to feed the elite and in china they have confucianism, meaning know your place and leave the rule to the elite. Western colonialism was just bullying the bully, and in the context of that era it wasn't that big of a crime. Oh, I forgot to mention the Arabs who retained the slave trade up until 40 years ago. I'm out.

When John says -P. S. Just wanna confirm that I'm not advocating for authoritarian rule in the Unites States. - Whatever you say John, we know what you really feel. Also he mentioned that he'd be a great emperor of the Mongol Empire under the title 'Genghis John'. I mean who could say that and not advocate for authoritarian rule?

I'm a Filipino. I've always envied other countries' rich -organic- heritage because our country has been under the rule of foreigners most of the time in history, like, we're so mixed now, we're like browns trying our best to be western people. Hard cold truth. (We have no prominent empire/kingdom written in history -)

-10: 15
so true what Rabindranath Tagore has to say there
the age belongs to the west and we can be thankful for their science and modernization, but
in the process, they exploited those who were helpless and humiliated those who were unfortunate

11: 34 they worked? Sorry John, but when over half the population lives on less than $2 a day and the rate of people dying due to lack of access to resources and preventable diseases, I'm gonna have to disagree with you.

It's funny cuz imperialism is reversing all these people that they conquered enough flood in Europe and the Europeans don't like it anymore that's what you get what goes around comes around.

Feel that most people also thank of wanting power and us is a system we-re power is shared no control so some of the criticism of the system sort stems fro people wanting power
reply

I know it is a joke but they wouldn't call you Genghis John. Genghis is the given name for the Mongolian while Khan is his title so it wouldn't be correct.

-6: 20 awh, but in that sense, imperialism of Japan was successful,
because they became imperialists themselves.
you could say they surpassed their master

It's funny, I read comments about flame wars and hate, but I never see it. Can someone tell me where in the comment section the hate is?
