NEW VIDEO: How Capitalism Fueled European Domination
Added 2022-11-02 15:47:46 +0000 UTCHey friends - new video now live! It's Part 2 of the How Europe Stole the World series.
The modern corporation was invented as a way to fuel imperialism. In Part 2 of our series on European imperialism we explore how Europe created private empires to help spread dominance and resource extraction across the globe.
Also wanted you all here in The Newsroom to know that we worked with Jochem Boodt on research and fact-checking on this video after he offered up a really well-meaning critique of our Part 1.
This is part of our totally revamped process for us with citing sources (check that link in the description) and verifying the information we're reporting on, in order to get you the best content we can deliver.
Hope you enjoy.

Finally had a chance to watch this episode and the one before on how Europe ruined the world. This information is so important and so appreciated. Of course, I'm from the US and thus had a shitty education where the truth of all this was never really explained. In that way, you are like the teacher we all deserved but for the most part didn't have. Anyway, on a whole other note, how does one deal with the feelings your videos bring up? I feel angry about being gaslit throughout my entire education. I feel angry that racists are motherfuckers and acting like people of color are the criminals when what we see is just a result of people being pushed to the limits who've never been given a fair chance. I am angry that people I know have literally told me they are tired of hearing about colonialism when they are white westerners who never had to think about the greater implications of what their forefathers did as colonialists. I thought, maybe just mentioning my anger here would help things since I don't otherwise know where to put these feelings. Anyway. But really. Thank you for the work you do. <3

Thank you so much for both your incredible independent journalism and also all of these insights into history! Iβm so proud to contribute to you and your work, even if itβs just a small amount each month.
