     it's so funny that he's talking about like, extremely basic progressive politics from 50 years ago by calling it "awkward" and "shocking" compared to (implicitly better) Christian values. like dude this is just kind of the foundation of modern liberal ideology. this is the default for most of your students. even the centrist lib students would read this and think you sound like a 1950s reactionary.

     Low bar but glad that he's accurately saying that the British and French dividing up the former Ottoman Empire arbitrarily is a primary source of a lot of the present-day violence in the Middle East. I was honestly a little worried he would blame most of it on Islam

     Suggesting now that Jewish eyewitnesses to the Ukrainian famine are more important because they "cannot be accused of Ukrainian bias"... that strikes me as a little fucked up. It's a bit adjacent to dual-loyalty stuff, isn't it? Kind of arguing that Jewish Ukrainians weren't real Ukrainians? I don't think you should talk about them like that man.

     Torn between being pleasantly surprised that he's recognizing the Armenian genocide at all, and suspecting that he's only doing it to further his trend of demonizing the Ottoman Empire for Islamophobia purposes

     Like yeah 100% a horrific tragedy but do you have to keep saying "Islamist" with such emphasis when you talk about it

     I don't think I could disagree more with this! IMO the biggest failure of the USSR was forcing a nationalist Russification over its borders, rather than acting as a true Union of multiple Republics

     Great-Russian chauvinism replacing korenizatsiia under Stalin was probably the biggest mistake the Soviets made in the long run

     Calling the Cheka a "terrorist police force" is an interesting choice of words. I'm obviously no fan of the Cheka but what is it about them that's singularly "terrorist"? Usually that kind of wording is reserved for non-state actors
