I didn't even know KG supported BLM. I thought their Ukraine shit was making use of the opportunity to make money because unlike before, nobody's going to be heroes when this war is over.
I encountered this same problem in the Linux thread but is there no database or list of people who've gone off the deep end and fell into the volcano of hormones that is today's right side of history?
 
So Lazerpig made a video on the T-14 ...
... which was so horrifically inaccurate because he chose obviously uncredible sources, thought he could make way too many assumptions without caring to check, and the rest he either did not cite or made up.

Then this smaller channel, RedEffect, who makes short couple minute long videos about tank news, made a vid to point out Lazerpig's mistakes.


Also found a comment from some guy trying to defend Lazerpig

Yeah, tanks change engines, grow periscopes, and shift timelines to one where the challenger 3 came out in 2016 when they're not being well maintained.

Speaking of LazerPig, he recently did a four hour collaborated stream with Kraut and some nafo anime avatars on Ukraine's failed attempt to penetrate Russia with some traitor collaborators that didn't even last a day.

This Animarchy History guy looks like another cringe historytuber that's also part of nafo.

Kings and Generals apparently are doing a Crusade series, I checked their recent output? Where? There is so much Ukraine crap everywhere with WW2 content interspersed in(as well as historical content that was basically Ukraine stuff, like the Soviet invasion of Ukraine in the RCW).

If they want to transition to being a Ukraine cheerleader propaganda outlet, that's obviously their choice but it feels they're using their former rep to keep people interested.

I actually stopped getting notifications and shit from them because of how often I ignored it when it was just more WW2 and Ukraine shit. There are far better channels out there for WW2 content. I'm amazed they haven't killed themselves in the algorithms.

The conversation has kind of moved on, but in reference to my post referring to the moral double standards in Leftism, I do want to say that it is morally rotten to make exceptions for past times - whether in a generous way of forgiving it because that's what people did back then, or in a harsh way of holding it against them - because there have been TONS of times when societies have consciously, willfully, made a push to become worse.

One that I find interesting is the reinstatement of slavery in the Western world. Catholicism and its baby Protestantism had basically eliminated actual chattel slavery from Europe, took a while, but it happened. It contradicted their interpretation of Christianity. But then they need the African and Indian workforces to make the New World profitable, and what happens? Bartolome de las Casas and Sepulveda debate the issue, and de las Casas had a lot of support behind him, but in the end Sepulveda's perspective wins. Chattel slavery, something the Western world had moved beyond, suddenly comes back, in force, and develops into a massive institution that lasted for hundreds of years.

In a similar way, the Orthodox Russians actually regressed as a people going from a fairly free society in the Middle Ages to widespread serfdom and then making that serfdom more and more repressive until it wound up being de facto chattel slavery, the nation of Russia a demented frozen monarchist Mississippi.

The Tang Chinese had a generous treatment of women. But Neo-Confucianism spread like poison, and you go from a world where women were doing things like competing in national polo leagues to a world where women are ritually mutilated (foot-binding) to put them in pain all their lives.

We cannot excuse evil in the past, nor assume that we're on the path to good, because societies frequently come to a fork in the road and take the wrong turn. Goodness is something a people have to constantly fight for, but with humility.

There was a lot of nonsense in the video particularly about the engine, which isn't even one of it's major problems. Ultimately he's right that the T14is fucked by design, and even if it wasn't completely reliant on western consumer electronics, it's never going to be operational.

Also people misunderstand the Russian philosophy of equipment care. Which is similar to how the Germans operated in WWII which is that tanks get recovered low loaded and shipped back to the factory or a large maintenance facility. This is one of the reasons why the T72/80/90 is a smaller and lighter tank. The Russian philosophy would be that if a tank is awaiting spares or needs more than a certain amount of man hours, then it's better off being backloaded instead of sitting around in the vehicle sheds, waiting for the spares to come to it.

A good example of this is the Challenger 2 which are almost uniformly in shit state. Of the nearly 400 built they struggled to find 180 that could be given to BAE to upgrade to CR3 standard. Incidentally the CR3 standard is taking out the shit rifled gun that they knew was shit when it was being installed and putting in a proper Thermal imaging system. (the current one requires it's own dedicated vehicle to maintain).

If the T14 was any good, India or China would have chipped in some cash. Like they've done for various other projects.

AHH is hilarious, because he'll post hot takes on Twitter and whenever he ticks off a bunch of people, he deletes all of his tweets and replies so that people stop insulting him. He also made the usual Ukraine War video, but I've never watched it.

Just found Miles Fisher's channel, Dates and Dead Guys, last night and I'm a bit surprised he hasn't gotten whacked by the algorithm with videos like this talking about the brutality of native warfare on the plains:
He doesn't have a huge number videos (only 29 total at the moment from about a year and a half) and seems to have only recently hit pay dirt with the videos about tribal kidnappings and warfare. His more popular content follows the general Wendigoon format of man stands in front of a wall to share after reading a couple books and condensing the topic/biography into a digestible format while recommending the books for further details. Interested in seeing how his channel progresses from here now that his channel is picking up steam.

More of a fun/informative update from actually good HistoryTubers:

The always spectacular "Fall of Civilizations" channel released an excellent (and LONG) video about Carthage:


The Histocrat released a non-podcast video (!!!) about prehistoric China (goes more into anthropology/archaeology than history, but still quite good):


History Time released a video about Thermopylae (a kind of saturated subject, but good):
