Anyhoo concerning Atun-Shei, there was point when he was continually suggested. I subbed, to stop the annoyance. His content can be tolerable, even if it is now utter strawmanning, and his older stuff was quite okay, and Karl 'govern me hard Daddy Government' Cuckarda is only in a few of them.

Dudes a blatant Carpetbagger, has an addiction to Strawmanning, hates Southrons and is the epitome of Yankee Vermin. Dude 100% deserves a Lolcow page of his own.

I mean, is it hypocrisy when there is next to no choice in the matter? Most micks at that point resided up North in cities like Boston and New York and were very much poor. So why wouldn't they sign up for an army that would've given them a decent pay for the time and maybe a chance to leave the urban hellscape for a time? Sure, the life of a soldier may not be easy but the alternatives ain't much better for a 19th Irishman.


That and the cotton gin wasn't much help either, exacerbating the Slavery question the Founding Fathers were struggling to deal with even worse.

Fun fact about Eli Whitney: He didn't make much money from the cotton gin due to patent issues. So he went on to encourage the idea of interchangeable parts and even was contracted to make muskets for the US Army due to fear of war with either France or the UK. During this contract he factored in the fixed costs (the costs that are constant in manufacturing) when determining the price of the muskets, something that was not standard at the time.

These men of New York rioted fiercely for a week in 1863 over a draft which any rich man could buy his way out and an Emancipation Act (one of the immediate provocations) which promised to introduce unwanted competition to the factory worker, longshoreman and railwayman, and a war which had disrupted the shipping of cotton from the south. They did initially overwhelm the heavily Irish and German manned police constabulary, and there were not enough troops for marshal law, but organised bodies of men prevail over the disorganised given time and reinforcement. About 200 blacks died with eleven hanged. Abolitionists and other public do gooders were a particularly target, along with establishments unwilling to slake the alcoholic thirst of some rioters. I do not think it fair to judge a body of men who were mostly recent migrants and not comfortably well off men like Provost Marshal General Nugent whose draft lotteries in the poorest area of the city were particularly loathed, and as a result Nugent found his home sacked with his family barely escaping, despite hurriedly revoking the draft. Paintings of Union officers were defaced by the visiting rioters.

I agree, sorry Irish I was wrong, you guys are cool. Thank you for not bending over for Yankee Vermin, granted at least actual Vermin are better.

I don't like how people act like the Civil War was black-white good vs evil. There has been no civil war, not a single in history, that has been morally black vs white. Mark Antony was a hedonistic degenerate and moronic commander while Augustus was a cruel machiavellan heathen who didn't hesitate to ransack holy temples for his own political gain for example. Even the Russian Civil War had Whites committing atrocities and even had a third faction "The Greens," the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War were killing their own if they didn't toe the Comintern line while the other side wasn't even one monolith of fascism (Franco wasn't even a Fascist). The American Civil War was a tragedy of elites from both sides sending American children to slaughter eachother because they wanted to continue their economic grift. Carpetbagger types who attack the south just continue the will of the actual people who are the issue.

Same goes for history and life in general things are almost always more complicated and nuanced than extremes of morality pure good and pure evil. Another problem with X is evil most people saying this have no clue how things used to be. Simple truth is world used to be much more brutal in the past.
But I understand it is easy way to think my team good other team bad.

Maybe the downturn is because your content isn't engaging and your video format has become stale? Just a thought.

The Civil War pretty much determined where America was to go in the future. Was it to become a global power with imperial ambitions with the likes of the UK and France? Or was it to be two separate nations with one being more Hamiltonian and the other Jeffersonian?

I'm sure he's been mentioned already but I'm going to recommend Mark Felton Productions. He's a history professor specializing in WW2 and always has videos on interesting things about WW2 that I've never heard about anywhere else. If he's got a political agenda, I haven't been able to detect it.

He is a hack who doesn't cite sources or does any type of research. In particular the Tiger II vs M8 video had no sources except reddit, and then he included a source which specifically denies it ever happening.

Victim culture is built on slacktivism: you seek validation and asspats for hitting off checkboxes, but you don't actively take action that may help you at risk to your physical well-being. Very few people would willingly make their legs stop working just for some money in the tip jar and sympathy from others.

But I mean why do that? There are at least 2 infamous white people pretending to be black and more and more men pretending to be women every day.

He deliberately picks and narrows his examples to try and make his point bulletproof. When Jussie Smollet did his greatest acting job, a meme at the time was: "jews in Germany didn't have to fake hate crimes."

went into Cyphers Discord Server. "Internet Colonization", "its good to steal from people", Makhno apparently didnt have an army, Mercenaries are apparently Statist, they told me to read Marx when they clearly havent read Marx, and if you like westerns, you are a bigot. Truly an intellectual circle (not what I said btw, they said it)

I'm fairly familiar with the Last Days of the Roman Republic already having read a lot of books about it, including a lot of the "primary" source material, but when I watched Historia Civilis' videos on the Last Crisis (I know, he's not 100% good and can be a little "much"), it really showed me just how quickly all of those events happened. Caesar crosses the Rubicon, and within 5 years he's dead and there's now a civil war between the Liberators and the Caesar Loyalists that leads to their own deaths. That is to say, if the Crossing of the Rubicon happened in 2018, the Battle of Philippi would've happened next year.

It puts things in perspective.
