The current main model of public education in the United States is based on ideologies that were pushed by organizations created by and for the richest Americans of the early 20th century. Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie. They say themselves what they did to do this, and they describe it in no uncertain terms in quotes. Today we discuss the effect that these organizations had on education, and discuss quotes by these men, the advisors that ran the organizations, and the helpless educators who watched their former system be destroyed in favor of a system that helped the manufacturing giants have enough human capital to run their firms and make themselves more rich.   As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases“Dumbing Us Down”:https://amzn.to/3FWI8kxAudible AUDIOBOOKS, free trial:https://amzn.to/3TJOARA Reach me on Discord, https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6Jj#podcast #culture #history #Americanhistory #robberbarons #progressiveera #publiceducation #publicschools #schoolchoice #educationhistory #therichgetricher #caste #classsytem #anthropology #culturalanthropology #educationisascam #historyfacts #historical #antiwoke #woke  #anthropology #freespeech #freedom #libsoftiktok Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

How do we decide what genocides to care about? What genocides/atrocities get the most attention, why? Some genocides are ignored, and others are featured prominently. The Rwandan, Armenian, and other genocides are ignored largely, at least compared to the Holocaust. The prominence of the Holocaust above other genocides is harmful to perceptions of future and current human rights abuses, as it allows one evil to be hoisted above all others, and as a result, make current genocides appear not as bad.

In the world there are many countries, regions, territories, etc. that have overlapping land claims. Where one group claims territory that another claims. This can be two countries, such as border regions between India/China, Japan/Russia, Indonesia/Papua New Guineau, Israel/Palestine. It can be separatist nations like Chechnya, Catalan, Kurdistan. It can be new states attempting to rise like ISIS. It can even be organizations like gangs, cartels, mafia exerting effective control over an area. Land shifts ownership over time, and always has. We discuss today how land claims work, who decides the metrics for who has the greater claim, and how claims and knowledge are weaponized for geopolitical advantage. We discuss how in many examples of international recognition of different states the important factor is not the legitimacy of the land claim, but instead how a land claim to one state helps the geopolitical posturing of another. For example the creation of Belgium as a buffer state between France and Germany, longtime support for Taiwan over the PRC, and ultimately the pinnacle of the episode, modern current example, the poignant example of the support of the west of Ukraine against the Russian enemy.

The Rage Against the War Machine rally that occurred this weekend that I attended has been under attack for weeks. The critics have been numerous, with some valid attacks, but ultimately the the movement is about being against the war. I contextualize the anti-war movement in this episode and discuss the critics and the what the event was like, and why I think it is important.

This one was hard to title. Content Warning: May be considered transphobic. In this episode I discuss children being taken from their parents in relation to public schools, references to the Native American boarding schools.

Who does wokism benefit? Why does it benefit them? Who does it harm? Is this all an illuminati conspiracy to turn the average population back to serfs and peasants. How does the framing of wokism silence other discussions about inequality and prevent real change and social mobility? How else can we break down the elite population besides by race? What do these other identities and details of people tell us about the true nature of power in our culture?

I discuss how corporations affect our country, and how they work. I discuss the implications of the structure of corporations and how to best interact with them in your daily life and evaluate the effect of a corporation. Corporations are a specific type of organization, but they are  a social construct and can compare to other social constructs. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchasesAudible AUDIOBOOKS, free trial:https://amzn.to/3TJOARA Reach me on Discord,https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjAudio Podcast:https://pod.link/1650280020#podcast ##corporations #corporatism #capitalism #historyfacts #corporatism #cronycapitalism #latestagecapitalism#culture #videopodcast #history  #anthropology #culturalanthropology #historyfacts #historical #antiwoke #woke #illegitimatescholar #libertarian #freedom #politics #cultural #commentary #conservative #socialstudies #socialscienceDiscord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

In this episode I challenge conventional ideas about what metrics are important for deciding success. I discuss what traits are often discussed like gender, chromosones, race, country of origin, etc. but I mostly discuss other traits that are heavily correlated with success and important metrics like if someone will go to prison, income, etc. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchasesAudible AUDIOBOOKS, free trial:https://amzn.to/3TJOARA Reach me on Discord,https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjAudio Podcast:https://pod.link/1650280020Edwards, Frank, Hedwig Lee, and Michael Esposito. “Risk of Being Killed by Police Use of Force in the United States by Age, Race–Ethnicity, and Sex.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 116, no. 34 (August 20, 2019): 16793–98. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1821204116.US EEOC. “Facts about Discrimination in Federal Government Employment Based on Marital Status, Political Affiliation, Status as a Parent, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity.” Accessed December 26, 2022. https://www.eeoc.gov/federal-sector/facts-about-discrimination-federal-government-employment-based-marital-status.Greenwood, Shannon. “3.
