“It’s hard to teach hate. It’s easier to lie about history.” – @KonstantinKisin
Author and humorist Konstantin Kisin recently discussed in an interview how progressive indoctrination within education is fostering resentment towards civilization, particularly in the Western world.
Drawing examples from England that are equally applicable to the United States, Kisin implies that when individuals are consistently taught to despise their nation over time, it shouldn’t come as a shock if that sentiment eventually takes root.
The interview has gained significant traction online and is recommended viewing for its thought-provoking insights.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: ‘You spent 60 years teaching your children to hate your own civilization. Why are you surprised that they hate your civilization? Sorry, but that’s what happened. By the way, it is not just hate. It is hard to teach people to hate, it is much easier to just lie to them about history.
In the UK, for example, in England, the Church of England just approved billions of pounds in reparations because we talk endlessly about slavery. The narrative on slavery seems to be, “There was no slavery, and then the British Empire came along and invented slavery, and then woke people came along and ended the British Empire.” When of course, we all know that slaves were probably the first good that human beings ever traded, it never had anything to do with race, it was just a fact of life that conquered people were subjugated by others and used as labor, and would be traded.
Native Americans kept slaves, as did everyone else throughout history. The British Empire practiced slavery just like everyone else. Because of their superior technology, they were able to move slaves across the ocean. And then the British ended slavery, not only within the borders of their own realm, but also spent a tremendous amount of blood and treasure to end the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which was much worse, lasted longer, had a higher death rate, the men were all catrated, the women were all enslaved — they forced that slave trade to end in a dramatic diplomatic and military and monetary cost….”

This mindset has the potential to detoxify and enact genuine reform in education. And, The Band Played On!
