Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization, its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values, and it's just the beginning.

I'm Dr. Steve Turley. I believe the liberal globalist world is at its brink and a new conservative age is rising.

Every day, as we examine these worldwide trends, discover answers to today's toughest challenges, and together learn to live in the present in light of even better things to come.

This is Turley Talks.

Gang, you're going to love this one. Wait until you see what happens when an actual historian starts dropping truth bombs about reparations, slavery, and colonialism on woke students at Cambridge University.

This is Rafe Hadomancu, a well-known historian in television commentator in Britain, and recently he did what many believe would be impossible.

He left an audience of woke college students at the Cambridge Union absolutely stunned silent over historical facts regarding what really happened under British colonialism.

But, you know, in recent months, we've seen the issue of slavery and colonialism expand beyond campuses, as we've now got a course from the Barbados to Jamaica, prominent Caribbean are also calling for Britain to pay reparations for slavery and the consequences of colonialism.

And Madam Speaker, were we engaged in this debate in 1807 or 1833? I likely would have crossed the floor to support the motion opposite, because of course the victims of the horrendous horrors of slavery would have been alive and deserving of damages.

But it's not 1807, it's not 1907, it's not even 2007. Over two centuries have passed since Britain led the world as the first empire in history to abolish slavery and the rights of reparations died long ago, because reparations are fundamentally about matters of tort law.

The purposes of damages, restoration of reparations is to restore the victim that slave to the position they were in before the damage occurred slavery.

The actual victim only can receive damages, not their descendants, and therein lies the rub because some six or seven generations separate those alive today from their British empire slave ancestors.

And whilst not just yet, thank you so much. Whilst it's undeniable that 19th century slave suffered unspeakable horrors in what way can this lead one to conclude that their great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren are also victims and deserving of reparations too.

On the contrary, from Britain to the Caribbean, the descendants of slaves today have a far better and higher quality of life that they would have had their ancestors remained in Africa, and that's an indisputable fact.

Now, I really liked how he framed the debate there. Reparations are inescapably a matter of tort law, and the purpose of tort law is to compensate individuals that suffer personal or property damage because of another's wrongful conduct.

And the fundamental flaw in the reparations argument is that neither the victim nor the victimizer of the horrors of slavery are alive today.

Tort reparation is simply unintelligible when dealing with the descendants of victims and victimizers rather than the victims and victimizers themselves.

How do you even begin to justify the notion that it's ethical for an innocent person today to be culpable for the sins of their forefathers?

Why are descendants entitled to damages for sins committed against their great, great, great, great, great grandfathers? Why should an entire population pay for reparations when only a tiny fraction of the previous generation were guilty of owning slaves?

Why should a population of millions, both in the UK and the States, only a few thousand racial slave owners? Why should Irish Italians, Slavs, and a whole host of other ethnicities pay for reparations when they themselves were often victims of social disenfranchisement?

Do they get reparations now? And it's so from whom? So this is the problem when you try to apply tort law to situations and contexts that have nothing to do with actual reparation.

Then again, why is the demand for reparations always focused and framed in terms of Britain?
