the absolute shade of showing the jacob geller thumbnail with the "watched" bar only half way lmao

They should take the part of Virginia that used to be part of DC and give it back to DC, and then make Columbia a state.

the snowy Goron mountain region is the least fleshed-out in the game, and the pre-dungeon quest is the least interesting, too. it has really nice ambiance, though, so I find it disappointing there wasn’t more going on there.

if they ever remake this game, there should be a mechanic where Link can sit on a bench and enjoy his surrounds, and perhaps there are some NPC events that can only be observed if he’s sitting 👍

DC was better off when congress just directly appointed a mayor and city government. It has always been a shit hole but it has been even worse every since.

Woah loved this. Thought u had 10x as many followers as u do! 💖

DC is so small and still people decided to live there and work with no good payment. Maybe, just maybe they think this payment by tips is more preferred by them then work in another place with payment by business and not by tips? You have a freedom of choosing place to live

the empire chart had me reeling. probably the greatest cope in all of human history. bravo, glubb shitto

At at least one point in this video, the presenter acknowledged that civ v/vi etc are just games. They are not history books. I am not quite sure if he was criticising them for lack of academic rigour, or because he disagrees with the historical descriptions they contain, but neither of those things have much applicability to a computer game producer presenting a 4X game to the mass entertainment market. Their development dollar is spent on coding the UI and catchy graphics, not deep historical research. What is ironic, however, is that (some, at least) teenagers who play a game like civ vi might actually develop an interest in history, geography, politics, etc that will take them far beyond the game - and the often questionable wikipedia page on a subject. They might even read a couple of books, learn some basic SQL coding, and make a mod of some historical country or leader they develop an interest in.

Concerning Waldorf I think it is more fair to say that some or even most “do not do insidious cult stuff or indoctrinating children into race-hierarchy reincarnation.” We hade some scandals in Sweden recently on this topic.

I like the "I die, but the state remains" better. Even though he has all the power, the government still has control over everything in the end.

absolutism is based

Saddam and his regime were unutterably inhuman as regards their treatment of anyone who fell foul of them (practically anyone not with the Ba'ath party). However, he was entirely in keeping with the ancient kings of Sumer and Akkad which he was styling himself after. Translated cuneiform tablets relate how brutal they were. Weird how history repeats and human behaviour remains relatively consistent.

"uwuification of Dachau" im dying

58:17💀

13:07 The Swedish state of the 1900s was absolutely nothing like the ones from 1523 and the 1700s. The modern swedish state was born in the 1800s and 1917 after the napoleonic wars and after the monarchy lost its power. Also yes i am aware that this is a 2 year old video.

Kraut is an excellent example of what you say in the beginning about narrativization - Fredda has gone like super in depth about how his sourcing sucks, but *god damn* are his videos (esp the china one) well written

I’m a sports historian kinda and yeah mate lemme tell you

Im so tired and this guy is using all these big ass words like cmon man

What are your politics like?

I haven't really been following the dev news for bloodlines 2, since I'll play it regardless. So whem you mentioned that the protagonist was voiced my heart sank. Bummer

Give it back to Maryland.

In CK2 there's a small parish in Yorkshire I've lived in half my life. It's gone in CK3. Maybe if I built a new church site it would show up? Still a tad sad.

Do you publicize articles of your videos?

Historical project mod HPM in Victoria 2 actually fills in alot of Africa in west, east and central Africa but that's a mod from one person and it's still not a perfect mod.

I had to use VFS Visas when applying for a Russia visa. All I can really say is that the staff were rude and unpleasant.

This triangle has triangled my whole triangle triangle since I was triangle

No fucking way they gave ARGENTINA little arable land lmao

The mental gymnastics you did for 10 minutes in the beginning of the video was the most cringe shit ever. Please stop explaining how we should feel and just tell the fucking story holy shit

It was possible to cross an army into Venice in 1399 though for all the pre EU4 players 😏

What do you think of Vic 3?

As a history major, I struggle a lot with my feelings towards pop history. It is beneficial and even fun to scrutinize these works in classes but at the same time, it feels like we're showing faux concern towards the public perception of history. For example, why would someone write a book review on "The Poor Had No Lawyers" and question the audacity of writing it or state 'why, pray tell, should anyone take the time to read it?' in the abstract only to put it behind a paywall? The majority of people who would actually pay to read this review are those who have enough knowledge on the historical method to question the validity of the book in the first place. If so, is the review trying to validate academia's attitude towards pop history? Or, if the actual review is more tempered than the abstract as you've said, isn't the author of the review committing the same kind of dramatization/exaggeration they look down upon in pop history? In a way, one of the reasons for pop history being so prevalent is the elitism in academia. I'm not writing any of this to downplay pop history's faults, this video manages to bridge some of the gaps between authenticity and availability but I'm mostly frustrated that a lot of historians view these types of easily accesible reviews as being beneath them. When these works actually influence the public consciousness, politics and even the education system (that they'd then have to struggle to dismantle) it feels like it should be taken more seriously. I feel partially responsible/guilty for being in an environment like this ☹

I loved when he said: "Its STATE time!" and started stating all over the place.

7:05 remember when people paid the government for the right to give services like prisons

36 minutes and 14 seconds well spent, great video

Assigned bottom at birth is exactly what the patriarchy does to keep women under their control.

Let’s make it simple. Transgenderists claim there is an “essence” or “womanhood.” They can’t define it and whe they do they spout gender stereotypes and feelings. Essentialism is by its nature conservative and right wing, imaging some platonic ideal of essences of things. Transgenderism is not compatible with modern philosophy, and instead derives from reactionary elements.

Simon Sebag Montefiore is a well known specialist in Russia as a whole, even modern period. There's food for thought in that.

nah bcz the romanticisation of scotland stuff is so real like we aren’t all white half-fae who live in the wilderness or whatever like i live in glasgow this city is dirty and polluted and the essence of this country to me is that one time my sister saw a drunk woman pick up a vape from the street, use it, and yell “go scotland!!!” which means its so strange when americans online r all like “omg have u been to a castle??? what’s it like???” like sure i’ve been to a castle on school trips a couple times but i don’t live in one yk

Im an immigrant and I was kinda shocked to see how privatised UK immigration is.

Guess the real problem is that neither private corporations nor the government answer to us.

Wow thank you sir. I knew that the "250 year empires" I heard from whatifalthistory didn't pass the smell check! I like some of the thing he said but like you said, the trust was soured. I've seen him offer open challenges. perhaps you should appear on one of his debates...

Great video, earned a sub! I looked it up and it seems like 82 survived and has been steadily raising the wage. Gives me hope.

Turning a game about revolution into a game about landlording is so fucking cringe and boring idk who thought this was a good idea. It's an action rpg why did they cram a half baked management sim in there.

You pronounce Gaelic as Gallic and it bothers me a bit. It's like gay-lick

29:20 I feel like working for a secret British government organization created with the sole task of spreading anti-communist propaganda disqualifies you from having objective and unbiased analysis of the Soviet Union

If I was able to run for president...

luckily your critique on how interest groups don't have stances on countries is no longer true as of 1.7 with the introduction of the new political lobbies system

"Did you know Charlie Brown had hoes?"

I think that there is something to be said about how the walled-world shilds countries within from what is basicaly a consecuence of their actions. Given colnies and interventionism. In all the cases i can think of, migrants suffer because of reactionary movements created from the suffering of colonial rule of suffer from the disadvantage of bein born in a country who is economically cohiseve for a shorter period of time. (Sorry for any misspelled words not a native speaker). Hopefully i still made myself understood.
