Does anybody else think it’s funny a Chinese Canadian high school teacher has an after school extracurricular class where he gets to ramble on about "predictive history" and people on the internet watch it like they think he’s a real professor?

He's a holocaust denier. There's a lot of jewhate on both sides right now, so he's positioned to grow his audience even more.

Yeah I saw that too. He said something like "you’ve probably heard that the Anglo Saxon civilizations were the most advanced civilizations in the history of the world but really it was the Germans." And then something else about there not being evidence for the holocaust. Which is dumb because I’m American and I’ve been living in an English speaking society my entire life and I’ve never heard one person say Anglo Saxon culture is the most advanced the world has ever seen, nobody says or believes that. There’s definitely evidence for the holocaust, I’ve seen all the pictures of piles of dead Jews and everything, and people can go to the camps on tours. Then Germany, saying Germany was the most advanced society doesn’t make any sense if you look into the history of Germany. They didn’t unify until the 1800s and they industrialized after Britain.

For the majority of history there was no country called "Germany."

Of course, there are some white nationalist movements in the US filled with uneducated thugs that say America is for Anglo Saxons. But even normal people who think America is the best country to ever exist, most people wouldn’t say we’re an Anglo Saxon society because even though we speak English, if you actually go around America asking white people where they came from, Italy, Germany, and Ireland will be more common answers than British. Most white people just immigrated here, learned English, stopped speaking and teaching their children German and Italian during WWII, and then just sort of blended in. But Anglo Saxons are actually a pretty small minority in the US.

From AI, (come on googling stuff is boring)

:Chemistry was sometimes called “Germany’s national science” around 1900. If you wanted to become a serious chemist back then, you almost always had to study in Germany.
So your instinct that Germans historically had very strong chemical technology is actually very much grounded in history.

But of course the Nazis had to set everything back because they just had to have their violence

Then even if they are British, British doesn’t mean Anglo Saxon. Only England is Anglo Saxon. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (then the Republic of Ireland which is not British) are all Celtic nations. And Celtic languages aren’t related to Germanic languages or Romance languages. Irish doesn’t even have the same word order as English.

There's a wealthy New England type that definitely believes this, but they'd only say it around their own because it would get pushback in mainstream society.

It's possible he went to school with these types, and he'd overhear something like that.

Agreed.

Maybe with the elite in the east coast, although, there are a lot of Irish people there, so for example, there are a lot of Catholics in Boston.

I think one of the innovations of American racism is its inclusive racism. In Europe, it’s different. In Germany it still seems like Germans and Slavs are kinda suspicious of each other. I didn’t see any actual racism but I heard Germans say things like if you speak German in Eastern Europe people will attack you. No clue what the level of truth in that is, but the fact that some people believe that is notable. In America everybody’s white. Even on the victim side, in America everybody’s black. In some parts of Africa I wouldn’t even be considered black, but America has the most simple racism because we have a lot of boys in Alabama and we had to make it nice and simple.

But the Anglo Saxon thing is weird though, it’s like 1600s type racism "these Italians!" Like what are you even doing with that in 2026?

Honestly I’ve heard it’s similar for Asians. Like in America, Japanese or Chinese or Korean it’s just the same thing and people think of them as one group. But in Asia they have beef with each other.

I guess there are some white supremacist weirdos in the US who fetishize Japan because it’s a contradiction in Nazi ideology, it doesn’t really make sense because the Japanese aren’t white Europeans. So they try and pretend Japan is just soooo different from China, but none of them know enough about Japan to say why or how Japan and China are different. And if you look at the stereotypes they use and make a list of Japanese stereotypes and Chinese stereotypes, there’s basically no difference other than maybe anime and communism.

But honestly American racism is kind of dumb because for example people will say things like "blacks enslaved their own people in Africa" as a retort to complaining about slavery. Which is sort of dumb because blackness as a race is a thing white people made up. Black people have more genetic diversity than all populations outside of Africa put together. And they have incredible cultural diversity. There are lots of different languages and ethnicities in places like Nigeria for instance. Before Europeans colonized the place, they wouldn’t have had a concept of enslaving black people because everybody in Nigeria was black so obviously anyone who was a slave would have been black and now after being colonized everybody there is still black. But it’s pretty obvious they’re not categorizing themselves into groups based on blackness because given the context that would be stupid if 100% of everybody is black.

And it makes sense because black Americans look sort of similar because they’re all from the same part of Africa, they’re mostly Nigerians. But if you look at somebody from Nigeria vs Somalia vs South Africa and actually look at their facial features, they don’t even look similar. But Americans made up these stupid theories about how they’re all the same and inferior. Or not like Bantu South Africans but indigenous Khoisan for example. They look totally different.

It’s just dumb. It’s like saying all whites are homogenous but you won’t see me playing in the NBA like an enormous Serb.

West Africans are genetically blessed. Ever go to Senegal? Those guys walk around like they spend all day in the gym but they eat a high-carb diet.

Ghanaians are some of the funniest people on earth. You won’t win the exchange. I like Tanzania and Ethiopia too. Can’t say much for Somalia. It’s been a basket case since its one epic period of an imperial sultanate.

Honestly I don’t really have anything against Somalians. It’s one of the poorest countries on the planet right next to one of the busiest trade routes in the entire world, that’s just a recipe for being stereotyped.

I mean, between Somalia, Yemen, and Eritrea, none of the countries in that region turned out great. I think that mostly geographic. They’re all different culturally, Yemen is Arab and they have the Houthis and Eritrea has a weird retro-Italian / North Korea like totalitarian vibe.

Although to Eritrea’s credit, Eritrea is a pretty interesting country. It’s just its interesting in the same way North Korea is interesting. All the buildings and everything looks Italian but there are no Italians.

I think the main problem is when it comes down to it Yemen and Somalia are in the same position. You have a bunch of poor people living in a desert with no future, next to billions and billions of dollars in shipping. There’s no incentive to build something. Imagine you’re starving and there’s a billion dollars just sitting right there in front of you.

Although it’s ironic since areas like that are the worst places in the world now, but in antiquity, Egypt was actually pretty wealthy and surprisingly progressive. For example, women could actually own land. But now those sorts of places are more regressive. So there’s some weird way that technological progress changes what the ideal climate is for civilization to prosper. Then Ethiopia also resisted European colonization much more successfully than the rest of Africa. So those places were strong at one point, just not any longer.

I’m not an expert on Ethiopia but from what I understand, it’s sort of similar to how in Japan, Japan was never colonized because they had a centralized state with the emperor at the top, and during the Meiji restoration they made a centralized top-down effort to modernize to resist European colonization. In Ethiopia they also were ruled by an emperor but I know less about the details but somehow they successfully fought off the Europeans for a while.

Although, in terms of the difference between the modern state of Ethiopia and Japan, I doubt it’s the entire reason, but both resisted European rule until World War Two, except Ethiopia lost to Italy and Japan lost to the United States, and I’d imagine losing to the loser of a world war would probably put you in a worse position. Don’t think that’s most of the reason but I’d imagine that factors in somehow.
