Documents discuss: a claim that 'Isolationist' is a pejorative used against advocates of non‑intervention and open trade, including the quote 'demonstrate democracy, rather than trying to impose it by force.' Other posts focus on postwar antiracist imagery and explicit phrases like 'THIS COUNTRY WAS FULL OF RACISM,' referencing Jim Crow, internment camps, and restrictive covenants; and an event announcement about a talk using Vatican archives on WWII ('Flirting with Evil, The Catholic Church in the Age of Total War and Globalisation').

You basically agree with the idea that the U.S. should be a dictatorship that violates freedom for some moral purpose. and that's why 'Legal Positivism' is exist, and is important for democracy
"Isolationist" is a pejorative term coined by imperialists and progressives to impugn conservatives who advocated for a humble foreign policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ending militarism and foreign intervention in lieu of opening trade with all nations who wish to trade with us is not "isolationism". Isolation would be cutting off all contact with the outside world, which non-intervention does not propose. To paraphrase Clyde Wilson, America should "demonstrate democracy, rather than trying to impose it by force." Most of our enemies around the world have been created by a progressive approach to foreign policy.
...like, I know the word "grooming" has been thrown around a lot lately...but isn't manipulating a child into fighting for your cause just literally grooming a child soldier? Also, if the mentor knows the kid is going to die fighting...what good excuse is there for not telling the child that?
Our next speaker is Dr Ambrogio Caiani (Senior Lecturer in Modern European History at UKC). His next book is Flirting with Evil, The Catholic Church in the Age of Total War and Globalisation (Head of Zeus, 2026). In this talk, he will examine the Vatican archives and the Second World War.
I decided to emphasize why heartwarming antiracist pictures were necessary in the postwar period - cuz THIS COUNTRY WAS FULL OF RACISM. I'll mention not just Jim Crow & internment camps - but also restrictive covenants in our area. But...OMG on this slogan for Rancho Santa Fe! Discriminating!
"... have given me a unique vantage point to trace the replacement of Western history by global history." I don't think you need to "replace" the teaching of Western history, but we could definitely use some more global history teaching in the US. Could benefit US foreign policy in particular.
