Hoover fellow Victor Davis Hanson on the type of men who become savior generals

Skip to 32:50 for the contemporary commentary.

Wanted to share this here, having read two of dr Hansons great books he is the historian I admire and learn from the most, Ferguson is great too but he approaches things from a economical standpoint and in my opinion they complement each other immensely and should be obligatory middle school and high school reading.

It is a very good point that the wealth we have are making us spoiled in terms of what we as society deems as "natural state of living" or that our technology is making us weaker in our comprehension of reality as we expect and think government functions perfectly and without faults as we expect our iphones to function.

As for the demography of the United States, dr Hanson has stated in earlier uncommon knowledge that unless the US stops immigration in order to allow assimilation, then the ethnic landscape will have dire political and economic consequences that will alter the United States radically and as we see it will only be for the worse with expansion of welfare state and rise in ethnic violence.

For precisely the reasons you cite, Mr. Hanson's works will NEVER, EVER be taught in the public schools, or in the "higher" education institutions. The man makes sense, and that is a thing that is no longer politically correct.
