Apparently the "Roma" are just one tribe of Gypsy and that term as the PC term for them makes absolutely no sense.

A German professor told me that in the gypsy gangs that infest Central Europe the Roma do all the dirty work and live in squalor while the Sinti are the bosses and drive BMWs. So naming the whole ethnic group after the Roma could fit with the PC desire to invert hierarchies.

In German, the PC way to refer to gypsies is actually "Sinti und (and) Roma".
You have to say both or you're racist or something.

I wonder if Rudyard had to resist the urge to make a digression in which he claims that Gamergate was a clash between the fundamentally anxiety based urban journo/creative class and the pride based gamer subculture, the latter then being driven to the far-right due to their admiration for the "Indo-European pride and aggressive spirit" and disgust for the anxiety-driven soyjacks.

It does seem that much of his views can be explained by the fact, which he mentioned in another video, that his parents named him after Rudyard Kipling. Will he double down on his love of the Eternal Anglo by releasing a "What if Rhodesia never fell" video?

Tbh that would be based and result in much seething. People in comments on this are already bitching about how he covers Africa. Just admit Africa would be better if Rhodesia won, helped SA get the bomb, and kicked the Cubans, Russians, and Chinks out.

We'll know he's a regular Five Romeo Romeo viewer if the point of departure is that Bulldog Forbes conquers Beira in the 1890s (which almost happened until the diplomats intervened), giving Rhodesia a port. The immediate cause for the Rhodies giving in is that they could only import stuff through South Africa because they were landlocked and all their other neighbours were run by African commies who supported the embargos against them but if they had a port they could get stuff from anywhere willing to export to them.

Apologies if I already plugged this guy before but this is definitely my favorite History Youtuber.

Wish he had been my High School History Teacher.

One of my favorite channels. Guy is pretty wholesome and I wish he got more views.

Roma is some PC term yuropoors are forced to use. Unfortunately for Yuropoor governments their own people hate gypsies with a passion.

If Vlogging Through History already did a take on Razor's Lincoln video, I don't doubt Atun-Shei will cover it eventually. And I'm sure Razor will accuse Atun-Shei of being a Communist in response.

Well, Razor called VTH a "Bolshevik Boomer" in one of his streams. So wouldn't be much of a stretch. I think Razor is a lolcow in the making but that's just my opinion.

He's not wrong tho.

The Catholic Church had much worse popes compared to Francis. Not to mention Grancis may be gone by the end of this year.

Every time I see Rudyard mess up basic facts or get something completely wrong, I remember his segment on IQ where he disagreed with the test putting him "squarely below-average". The man lists a ton of stuff in his videos, and only those who have significant investment in the subject (or heck, those who watch other history YouTubers) can or will point out that many of his details are wrong.

My favorite mistaken statement of his is "The Greeks thought heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones, when a thirty-second trial would show otherwise". He only said the second part due to it being a scientific fact in an air-less vacuum, and due to the legend of Galileo dropping stones from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Then History Debunked led me down a rabbit hole (not about racial IQ, I swear) revealing that Galileo, when doing the experiments with dropping stones from high Italian places, found that heavier objects reach the ground faster than lighter objects.

In other words, a thirty-second trial would show you that Rudyard is an idiot. We didn't conclusively prove the Greeks wrong on gravity until we sent astronauts to the Moon with a feather and a golf ball.

I've watched SandRhoman's latest, and it has some implications for modern-day politisperging. First, that the kind of unambitious fools we typically call "controlled opposition" can blunder into starting real conflicts over trivial differences with their rulers (in this case, like some meme caricature of a boomer conservative, the Protestant Bohemians were only asking for the same rights they had 10 years ago). Second, because they're inherently timid they tend to lose the first round of this conflict in a very indecisive way, starting a deadly spiral of crackdowns and resurgences that select for more fanatical leadership, so that what might have been a rapid overthrow of the old regime or an enforced compromise becomes a long drawn out Congo-tier bloodbath.

Some in the comments are noting an increased interest on Youtube in this particular time period.

On another note, I think I've found a living stereotype of the breadtube-adjacent side of history tube, Miniminuteman. Obvious hipster traits, long intros, loves the aesthetics of the 19th century but feels so guilty about it that he needs to interrupt every 5 seconds to remind you how problematic the thing he's looking at is, somehow has 700k subscribers after only 1 year of uploads because the algorithm likes him, has a progress pride sticker on his laptop, obnoxious speaking style aimed at the Tiktok crowd and there's probably more but I can only watch this kind of stuff for so long. The only thing missing is a neon-coloured background followed by trooning out.

Here's the archive of the 1853 version of the book he's reading from.

Edit: It's quite possible that this isn't even by Goodrich but some piece of shovelware fraudulently attributed to him in order to profit off of his name, a problem that Goodrich and other mid 19th century authors frequently dealt with due to copyright being in its infancy. He provides a full list of books that he actually did write, and it's not on it! How convenient that he chooses a bunch of third-rate hacks to represent the state of knowledge in the 19th century, really reinforcing that "everyone was a moron before 1960" narrative there aren't you? The 1849 version is on the list, but the later volumes aren't on it for some reason, I can't find any ebooks of the 1849 version to compare & contrast.

It takes nuance to say "yeah, we do know more now" while acknowledging that largely people did the best they could at observing the natural world with what they had technologically available. It takes self-awareness to realize that in 100 years people will be looking back on us as idiots too.

The video could be self-aware irony if he chose to use that angle. The book was probably written by a Whig (i.e. liberal) politician and children's author named Samuel Goodrich (pen name Peter Parley), whose literary output seems to be the 19th century equivalent of Extra History and its imitators; historical snippets aimed at young people that cover a broad range of subjects, conforming with the sensibilities of the time, and shovelled out faster than Call of Duty sequels (Goodrich wrote 170 books in his lifetime!). It's as if he's indirectly making fun of people like himself.

Sounds about right, though “helping the oppressed” is pretty generous. The message is more an extension of conflict theory focused on cultural lines instead of class: Straight White Christian Men oppress everyone else, and therefore must be overthrown.
