Alexandria was also built when the average person was lucky to even travel 50 miles beyond their hometown. It's always nice when urbanists bring up pre-feudal societies to prove how good their idea is.

I love how the bug man uses B.C.E. . It's fucking B.C. Or do you disagree that christ was a historical figure/existed? Faggot.

I still find the renaming hilarious, because it uses the same year markers as before while trying to secularize their innately religious origin. I can say this much, 1 BC/ 1 AD has no importance other than the estimated birth year of Jesus Christ, so claiming that it marks the Current Era is really stupid.

Hold on...

You're saying cities built before cars existed were designed mostly for walking, human beings' primary mode of transportation???

Well this just comes out of nowhere!

Even then, places that had rivers used boats if the city was built around it, and you still had horses and wagons. Yes cities were built around walking, but it's disingenuous to act like other modes of transportation didn't exist

Did I not add enough sarcasm tags to my post? I was mocking Historia's aside praising ancient cities for being walkable.

No you did, I just hate city dwelling bugmen that want to infest history

Kings and Things​

One of the more niche YouTubers in HistoryTube, Kings and Things focuses more on monarchs of a particular dynasties, historical architecture, and aesthetics of the past, and I've been enjoying his content recently. His voice comes with a high-monotone informative tone, which helps him not come off of a sperg.

Monarchs and Dynasties​

Biographic videos featuring monarchs of some of his dynasties series covering most, if not all, monarchs of a particular dynasty to significant nobles. He has covered monarchs of the Khmer Empire (modern-day Cambodia), the German Kingdom of Bavaria, etc. while covering a white-Caucasian sultan in Southeast Asia (modern-day Malaysia) and the monarch with the highest regnal number in history.

Here is some videos of his Konbaung Dynasty of Myanmar/Burma playlist.

Architecture​

Kings and Things is a very huge fan of traditional architecture, and covers buildings belonging to traditional architecture and city plans that could have been (Chicago or Canberra; which also may put him to the urbanism camp). He also doesn't sperg out at modern architecture though he subtly shows disliking it (America's Lost Classical Architecture).

Here are some of his videos covering a variety of topics of architecture:

Life of the Past​

The last stuff that Kings and Things cover is basically the rest of his interests, covering photographs that showcase life in the path, robots of antiquity, mythology, etc.

Metatron been hit with the demonetization hammer.

Incompetence? Maliciousness? You decide!

Unsurprisingly he now starts whining about Youtube monetization and how making YouTube videos is a real job. While it sucks that many actual good and informative youtubers can't make money of their videos, who admittedly eat a lot of time, the introduction of monetization did more harm than good, since it gives YouTube leverage against said youtubers. It also clearly prefers youtubers who make the media equivalent of goyslop. Also I would claim Metatrons videos aren't really that time-consuming when compared to others like TIK or SandRhoman.

They have to be getting something out of this, right? There has to be some benefit to them. Kings and Generals used to be one of my favorite channels, but now almost every other video is some Ukraine shit, with everything interesting behind a paywall.

Plus I'm pretty sure they used "BCE" in a recent video, but I hope that was some kind of hallucination on my part.

Since this conflict started experts (tm) on Eastern Europe started showing up like mushrooms after rain.

Lmao rent free. Things like this makes their attempts to present themselves as unbiased source even funnier.

Another highly trustworthy sponsor.

Own a share of a fucking painting, goy! Its a totally legit asset and not financial kaballah!

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

Hard to say when I stopped watching Kings and Generals, but I'm pretty certain the beginning of the end was a certain video several years ago sponsored by the Intel Corporation that went on an extended random aside about feminism (I feel like an ultra-liberal silicon valley megacorp like Intel mandated that with KaG gladly following along). Although, to be honest, KaG having all the breadtuber usual suspects in their "Channels" tab should've have warned me years ago...

Low hanging fruit but BreadTube-esque channels have never been this retarded. I can't imagine thinking that evil capitalists and shit orchestrated the war and it wasn't the retards in diplomatic channels who escalated tensions.

K&T is seriously underrated and deserves more attention. He is one of the best channels out there and I've fallen in love with his architecture videos.

I'm going to have to drop K&G at this point. The content used to be good and I understand advertizing to get more ad revenue and shit, but I don't want to learn or care for Ukrainian propaganda. Go back to cool ass medieval conflicts or niche Cold War stuff.

They almost definitely have some corporate, NGO or government sponsor. Not to say they weren't bugmen before(they always were) but there's no way they are doing this just because they want too.

Its got to be part of some US information warfare operation.

First time I remember thinking "huh not too interested anymore" is when they proudly announced they were supporting BLM.

Thing is, most Youtubers support globohomo either out of genuine belief or because it means they won't be demonetized or otherwise censured. Much less banned.

TIK rails further against gnosticism:

How has that guy(who produced otherwise good videos) been reduced to this? Like what, yes the Nazis totally believed they were struggling against the demiurge. Like what the fuck, that's just nonsensical.

Recently watched their video on Norman Sicily and had to clock out when they started shilling how diverse and prosperous Norman Sicily was as a result of tolerating Muslims. This line comes up for every 'diverse' historical nation from the Romans to the Mongols and always bugs me. Not because it isn't true that these were extremely prosperous ages or whatever, but that it always ties directly to 'see, you should love multiculturalism because it creates wealth.'

Historically speaking most of these 'culturally diverse' states were stratified, and Norman Sicily wasn't any different. The Muslims kept to their own quarters of cities and Christians kept to their own. That isn't to say it isn't an interesting situation, as Norman lords minted coinage in both Latin and Arabic for their subjects, but there is a very bold line between multiculturalism and historical tolerance of other cultures because it simply keeps keeping conquered peoples manageable.

I mean shit, even the Ottoman Empire largely relied on an economic class of Greek merchants and traders right up until the Greek Revolution, when they wrongly came under suspicion of being sympathetic to the Greek revolutionaries.

They tend to set a lower standard for multicultural paradise with Long Ago Times than they do A Short While Ago Times.

Dhimmi in the Muslim world, for example, were subjected to many regulations and rituals like not being allowed to build houses taller than a Muslims', having to dismount a horse in the presence of a Muslim, etc. These sort of things are called out for what they are - segregation, dehumanizaton, ritual humiliation - when done by, say, Whites against Blacks in America, but when it's Medieval Muslims suddenly that's a very generous position to take.

Likewise I hear them play up the dhimmi paying jizya instead of being conscripted as a privilege, people who will at the same time fume over Blacks having been excluded from the American military.

This appears even in situations with White Christians persecuting other White Christians. And it's not even that they're grading on a curve for each period, because they'll take modern European Christian cultures that were relatively good and still castigate them, and they'll make excuses for batshit crazy stuff that can't possibly be excused, like Mesoamerican flower wars.

No that's definitely part of some NGO or government info op promoting the idea of diversity. Various NGOs, corporations, paragovernmental bodies, as well as the government itself promote "diversity" as mantra because its part of the reigning ideology.

From what I recall in their earlier videos they didn't emphasize that.

But there is a lot of resources that goes into reinforcing 'diversity is good, diversity always was" propaganda. NGOs, think tanks, intelligence agencies-spend volumes of time and money studying how to promote this sort of psychological warfare and propaganda.

If YouTubers go out of their way to virtue signal by supporting either BLM, Stop Asian Hate or Ukraine (or even all three), those are the moments I unsubscribe to these clowns
