Are you doing ‘Stand up’ yet Malcolm. I would love to come and watch. You are hilarious.

And as we find out woman invented a lot of things that men claimed they invented or the woman’s involvement was just ignored.

Thank you for demonstrating your narrow-mindedness, Malcolm. It saves me having explaining it.

They thrived because of exploitation and slavery

Meanwhile in China.... 😆

So the Persians, Egyptians, Chinese, Ethiopians etc etc ad-nauseam, didn’t invent anything? Nothing was invented until white males started inventing things? How do you think technology got to the point where white males entered the scene. We were not cave dwellers the day before the Spinning Jenny or Steam locomotive were invented.

Almost all of the great inventions throughout history, were the product of very smart men. High IQ men. Aristotle, DaVinci, Newton, Mozart etc etc.

As one of these "white males " with patents in both Australia and the US and products that benefit ALL of mankind regardless of colour or creed. I empathise totally with the author.

Post of the decade.

And without the Hindu/Islam invention of the base 10 counting system, none of the mathematics or engineering could have been done to invent them or anything else in science, engineering, medicine, etc etc

I think you mean reinvented

Wow. Tell me you haven't studied history without telling me you haven't studied history. Baghdad battery Ottoman Meat Turner The Combustion engine is problematic with the first 'fire piston' developed in Asia. But it was a novelty. The first successful and useful Combustion engine was Dutch. And just wait til you hear about Mathematics! '

What century was it that first permitted women to attend university?...20th perhaps.

Yup let's not talk about the colonial extraction, access to global trade networks, free enterprise which suited the US, expansion and industrialized of slavery and forced labor in some periods, resources from conquered territories, knowledge inherited from earlier civilizations and the US led Globalist companies and economy. European science itself was built on mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and engineering from like the Islamic world, ancient Greece and Rome, India and China.

Porcelain was invented in China, the secrets to its manufacture were stolen by a French Catholic Priest. Imperialism at its finest

The statement is academically weak, oversimplified and relies on a false binary. No educated person would give it serious consideration. It confuses admiration for Western achievements with a denial of Western wrongdoing. It is true that many ideas and inventions associated with the West — constitutional government, liberal rights, industrial technology, scientific inquiry and market economies — have profoundly improved human life. But those achievements were not the product of “white males” as a racial category, nor did they emerge in a moral vacuum. Western wealth and power also developed through slavery, colonial extraction, dispossession, racial hierarchy, and the exclusion of women, workers, Indigenous peoples and non-European populations from the very rights later celebrated as universal. To acknowledge those realities is not to “destroy Western civilisation”; it is to understand it honestly. The claim that “white males didn’t invent slavery, they ended it” is especially misleading. No serious critic argues that Europeans invented every evil in history; the point is that European empires participated in, expanded and profited from slavery and colonial domination on a massive scale before abolitionist movements eventually helped dismantle parts of those systems. Likewise, rights were not simply gifted to humanity by heroic Western men; they were fought for by enslaved people, suffragists, labour movements, anti-colonial activists, religious dissenters and civil-rights campaigners, often against those "White males" of Western governments and elites. The final reference to “globalist parasites” reveals the statement’s real purpose: not historical analysis, but defensive "white victimhood" mythology. It turns a complex civilisation into a racial grievance story and treats historical accountability as an attack on civilisation itself.

…. You just gonna ignore history?

Wow, Malcolm must have read different history books to me.

Malcolm Roberts and "rational thought" do not go together.

When will you discover rational thought?

Hospitals: The modern hospital concept—featuring distinct wards, teaching centers, and dispensaries—was pioneered in the Muslim world, with the first established in Baghdad in 9th century.

Where’s your map of the flat earth and tin-foil hat today?

Oh dear, Senator Malcolm Roberts, you didn't watch "Hidden Figures" did you?

Individual rights 🤣 Yeah colonialism was such a bastion for individual rights.

People are people in my book. End of story
