  1. Agreed. I do enjoy Harris videos but don't agree with everything and he does have some bias. Yet it's me the viewer to learn to separate it as he overly simplifies much.

  2. Johnny seems to be biased with his far left idealogly. Sort of like what you find in college. White man/capitalism = Bad. Type of person to tell you how a man beat his wife to death, but left out how the wife emotionally abused him for years, and smothered his children. The funniest thing about colonial expansion is how such a small population took on the world, because their rule wasn't exactly worse depensing on the culture. They exploited the locals own culture, the infighting between tribes, or just used their own nobels corruption. I mean were the Europeans worse than the Aztecs who sacirificed thousands upon thousands? Ehh Slaves came from Africa, from Africans, and entire African civilizations got filthy rich off it. Johnny makes it sound like Europeans conquered peace loving perfect utopias. Brought sin to them too.

  3. Johnny content reminds me it is made by a bleeding heart college kid that was spoiled rotten. Who never actually knew or went outside the US to other countries non tourist areas. I'm mixed race. Native/Caucasian/Latino, and he blames white men for everything. Like he doesn't know how big the Muslim slave trade was. How African empires thrived off it. He acts like other races or countries have no prerogative or precedence to do anything on their own. That they somehow have no control over themselves, and that their elite weren't also in on the exploitation of their own. No, they can't think for themselves so white men came in, and took advantage of them. I'm sure he thinks Native Americans were peaceful people before white Europeans came. That we were hippies that lived with nature. Like not only were we scalping b1tches, killing babies in raids, but Mezo America was sacrificing each other on unfathomable scales. He suffers from white guilt for sure, and is completely biased against the west.
