Very cozy videos to binge. Bronze age northern Europe is a subject overlooked amongst history youtubers in favor of the eastern Mediterranean and its very relaxing to listen about not wars or violence but just small communities of villagers whose names have been lost to the mists of time making pretty pottery and eating everything that both moves and doesn't move.

This guy is definitely the God at creating content about the bronze age. Not familiar with the period, but the production value is high and he cites sources.

Bronze age is always a fantastic topic. It's so alien to us that the whole world then seems like a different planet. Honestly love the period and how obscure it is compared to later periods.

Armchair recently uploaded this, only big gripe is lack of pointing out how wartime resource demands definitely had an effect on how bad the Famine was and there would've been no way the Allied nations could've shipped supplies in to alleviate the situation.

Cynic Historian's video has to be one of the most schizophrenic thing I have ever seen, the fact that some "people" consider it to be genius is quite laughable.

Its quite ironic that the whole thing is just one big conspiracy theory.

It always comes back to an event that happened 7 years ago and someone Neo-Reactionaries are both a powerless group and an all consuming power at the same time? All Historian wants is the censorship of his political enemies as all tech and media is for is power, not for the betterment of mankind.

A certain Historytuber has a gaming news channel and game in development apparently.

I know there's at least one other that's doing a game apparently, YouTube recommended a livestream from a Historytuber (From Armchair Historian I think, but don't quote me on that) back in December or so which was talking about a game he planned on making. I mean good luck to them and all those other generic phrases people like to shit out their mouth hole. But frankly I don't see how having the chops for research, script writing, and video making translate into having the chops for game design.

Judging from that strawman character, how does the cynical historian define a "neo-reactionary"?

Anyone right of whatever politician he stans. Honestly I wouldn't put it past him to have the lefty viewpoint Stalin and Mao were right wing because they were totalitarian and only right wingers can be that.

There is a saying that pure people rule will eventually lead to autocracy due to what is demanded of the state from the masses, so it is unsurprising he'd think that. Either that or is delusional enough to believe that you could give the state absolute levels of power and still have a public to keep it in check.

The Britmonkey channel is a good source for European history and miscellaneous factoid stuff.

Imagine actually believing that neo-reactionaries were a large enough political force in 2015 to puppet all the GG neckbeards like the Standard Oil octopus. I know they talk a lot about elites, that doesn't mean they actually are elites! Why are lefties so scared of bloggers who average 1000 page views?

More on-topic, are there any history tubers who are good at dispelling myths about the worldviews of past generations? There's a very common tendency to flippantly assume that nearly everyone who lived before 1900 was a crazed zealot, to populate the historical world with strawmen. Lindybeige is decent at it, but it sounds like he's guessing half the time.

Tyler with KnowledgeHub is actually an alright guy, and he tends to treat his fans with respect. He strikes me as a secret 4chan user, so he's somewhat based and not a lolcow – which sadly can't be said about his brother Cody. Some people mentioned previously that Cody blocks people on Twitter for the stupidest reasons: he's basically like MrEnter where his ego makes him feel like he's special and he takes himself seriously. Come on, you run a fucking YouTube channel with simple "animations" that are barely one step above Poland Ball memes, and your wild theories are Reddit-caliber.

it's all they can think about so they assume the world revolves around it.

LindyBeige is guessing about 3/4s of the time, probably a little more.
