He didn't argue that Europeans and Asians are/were superior races in the slightest. For example, the Europeans were able to tear away the Americas from its original inhabitants because they carried ALL the diseases (what with their long and fruitful history of sleeping in pig sties). That's hardly what I'd call "superior" in any commonly accepted definition of the word.

The Europeans were simply more dirty, aggressive and populous than everyone else. Like an bothersome, highly-resistant virus.

I was referring to your final suggestion, which you stole from the gentleman who posted above you.

You're vapid and unoriginal.

Sherman was a vulgar mass-murderer and Grant, although a brilliant prose writer, oversaw the crushing of the Western Native American nations. Doing irreparable damage.

Pick up some books about Paine, Quincy Adams or Burr. Much more interesting, and far less tarnished, characters.

Don't waste your time. If it has a vague association with "the Jews" it's automatically thrown into the bad pile.

In other words, we're dealing with an A-grade cretin here.

>the modern liberal (not really the left)

This is an important point although I would go further. The majority of western liberals today aren't liberal in any meaningful sense of the word.

Liberalism, as envisioned by the original Enlightenment thinkers, was quite different to what is bandied around by it's apparent bearers today. Individualism, utilitarianism, universalism and equality before the law were key tenants of John Locke, John Stuart Mill and Thomas Paine.

In opposing the absolute rule of Kings and the stupidity of inherited rule, these chaps sought to demolish the psychological barriers to progress: caste-thinking, acceptable nepotism and, although, they themselves wouldn’t have put it this way, groupthink (which is exactly what identity politics thrives on).

Repeatedly we're finding that liberals are willing to sacrifice freedom of speech and equality before the law so no "minority" is made to consider their often prosperous claims.

Sadly, totalitarianism is a tough enemy.

I heard somewhere that it's allegory for the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.
