Typical of Eurocentrism, giving all the credits to larger louts and none to the Africans who campaigned to abolish slavery, such as Olaudah Equiano, no about the revolutionaries that were the first to abolish slavery in Haiti.

  [00:07:32] I'll get to Europe later, but first let's cross the Atlantic to the place where this logic has now reached its purest form. The United States. I don't want to bore you with an exhaustive summary of all the madness of the past few years. On one side we had an establishment propping up an elderly man in obvious mental decline. On the other we had a convicted reality star. When it comes to staffing his administration, he is a modern day Caligula, the Roman emperor who wanted to make his horse a consul. He surrounds himself with loyalists, grifters and sycophants.
