As a white woman, I have refused to spend one ”red” cent on this Disney cartoon. If it was offered to me, as entertainment, I would walk out of the room. For what it’s worth, I’ve refused to watch it let alone show it to my children. Keep up the good work.
Well then let’s talk about what the Americans stole, what the Russians stole, and what none of them actually want to talk about.
The men who were in charge back then were steeped in classical philosophy which made them imagine that they were building a new Rome. Shame that so many current MPs have the exact same background. They will admit nuthin.
Great episode about a complex inheritance for both Greece and the United Kingdom. I learned much more about the marbles than I knew before for sure.
Instructive episode dealing with racism and sexism. Lots of varied and detailed commentary from experts and historians.
Really great episode about a woman of whom I had never heard. Sadly some ideas take a very long time to die
Classic anti-Semitism: explain every evil thing by blaming the Jews. It’s not only an absurd libel by a kind of mental illness that overrides facts and logic.
Everything demanded back from the british by the Aboriginal people ought to be returned. That is very simple. It doesn’t matter if british institutions preserved them and they wouldn’t have survived otherwise. The british don’t get to make those calls or preach about the value of that history. It’s not an issue of debate.
Loving it! I would have liked to here the situation of the dogs themselves included in the analysis though as they are subjects, not objects after all.
I agree with three of the comments here, brilliant podcast! Except for Jimmy’s comment which is anti-Semitic nonsense and ought to be deleted.
“Sampson” is one of the racists who cries about people tearing down statues of literal slave owners moaning about “they’re erasing history”. And here, like all good reactionaries, comes “Sampson” to be a total hypocrite, hahaha. Pathetic.
it’s very important. i’m curious if the Israeli state has done anything similar to the belongings of the Palestinians. I’m genuinely ignorant about it.
be quiet “Sampson”, with your age-old whataboutism. if you want a podcast about something else make a podcast about something else. this is about british colonialism and given the piss poor understanding most british people have of history it’s very, very needed.
Most of those artifacts n art were the spoils of war and being conquered. Im curious, are you doing podcast about non western/European groups stealing and destroying other cultures art as well? But I gotta admit what a smart podcast to start at a time when there‘s some much hatred towards white, European stock. Probably pays decent
More woke individual‘s looking for division and conflict, keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen 👍🏻
this show is fantastic! so informative and well produced 🤙🏻🔥🔥🔥
Love this podcast! It's so nice to hear art history from a somewhat less western perspective
loving this podcast. how you manage to deliver this important and sad , subject in a light and engaging way is a talent.
Genocidal Zionist confirmed.
You put a lot of emphasis on the word Europeans. That is very vague. I don't remember the Armenians or the Norwegians or irish etc having any part to play in the genocide of indigenous people around the world. Tell the truth. Name them and shame them. It was protestants funded by kazhairian tricksters and name shifters operating under the guise of Christians. The evil empire. In short. It's Zionism. Jewish banker funded Protestant genocide. Evil mens programming has become you.
This series is so well edited and of course, fascinating. Very entertaining.
Absolutely brilliant! If more people understood how the British Empire shaped the modern world and modern power, they would demand the Brits to be accountable and give up their secrets. This is a wonderful exploration of the symptoms of empire building! Great work! A valuable contribution to the world of podcasting and audio stories!
A fantastic podcast just enough detail and pace to keep you interested. As a British person I'm finding it doubly fascinating. :)
Stuff the British conquered. Not stole. The British are conquerors and explorers. Just accept the loss and move on. Take the L.
really enjoying this podcast. Look forward to the next one.
The Pekinese dog history is very interesting - love the podcast!
Oh thank God! I was worried we were never going to criticize the British Empire.
Thank you very much, also when I came from Israel to visit the museum and saw this exhibit in the museum 3 years ago he impressed me the most and only now I hear his story thanks to you.
Stupid. Cry babies.
