This one is good. Interesting presentation (it isn't just one guy talking to camera), thorough, trips to historical places and so on.

does he even do history videos? I've only heard him throw in a few anectodes of how "because this is what happened in the roman empire, it applies 100% to contemporary times". He's not very fun to watch either, he just complains constantly and always attacks the lowest hanging fruit. When he goes on his hyperbolic 15 second laughs where he goes "Y...You can

ne he is horrible he is just reading out wiki articles and animates them.

You can really detect the beta histoirans on this board, all these yt channels are horrible and for lazy cunts that are not willing to read a paper or a book.

1Day after the video you talk to your buddies and start a sentence: " Did you know that the xxxx actually xxxx" (Damn I am smart)

The great War channel ist the best out of all of these horrible beta cringe (easy history for 10yo channels).

History with Hilbert seems to be the only one who actually knows something

He isn't though, he's actually pretty awful and a hypocrite as well. He keeps complaining about progressives using "muh feels" instead of arguments yet he does the same in debates. Speaking of, lately he's been been in debates with libertarians but for some reason only anarcho-capitalists and yet he speaks with such an authority on libertarianism as if he himself is a libertarian.

Sargon used to make historical videos but calling SJWs on Tumblr pays his bills.

Varg Vikernes, he's 100% historically accurate

Also Sargon spent his youth as a degenerate stoner leeching off government welfare and wasting his time playing video games and smoking pot. I guess he's better now since he has a family (even though he's a cuck) and manages to make his own money.

Real Crusades History produces many videos with sources that are from the era. My only problem is his unapolegetic defence of the sack of Constantinople.

Instead of simply saying something like "the Mayan society depicted in the film is actually more similar to the Classical Maya than the Post-Classical Maya that Cortes encountered", he goes on this bizarre rant about time-travelling Conquistadors and other bullshit.
I mean obviously he's making the uncharitable interpretation of the movie so he can get mad and do a "le angry internet critic" act, but it just makes him look like a petty idiot who can't discern the intent behind the movie and distracts from more interesting and informative criticism.

most of them aren't educated, but some are. I don't know about Lloyd but Metatron went to King's College and studied linguistics, Roman history, and medieval history. And he got access to the Vatican archives which you need to be a serious scholar of latin to get.

>>2159366

I personally like him.

>>2166204
>I mean obviously he's making the uncharitable interpretation of the movie so he can get mad and do a "le angry internet critic" act
this, it's even more infuriating when the movie is one of the better historical ones in terms of dedicating a lot of time to getting authentic props and even speaking the native language, but he's just hellbent on taking it down as hard as he can.

What is it like to be incorrect?

>no one used swords, axes
Absolute bullshit. in one of his videos he specifically describes the significance of the sword used as a weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiD3cI3RqJU
>no one used horses
bullshit. He said that "Cavalry didn't exist" for about a thousand years after the domestication in the horse, (which is more or less right)
>no one used throwing knives
he backs down from this position a bit in a more recent vid. lindy was originally trying to make fun of film portrayals, and he used a bit of hyperbole.
>no one used double strap arm shields
nope. he said MOST shields were center grip. not all shields
>no one used scythes
>no one used mail coifs
BS. direct quote: “the coif doesn’t work unless you put patting underneath it”. does that sound like “no one used mail coifs”? only if you’re a moron.
>no one used torches
No, he says that people preferred to cary candles over using tortures.
>Pikemen didn't fight each other
vast oversimplification. he says they did fight each other, and in formation, just not with their pikes while in formation (they would switch to other weapons). not saying lindy is correct. he made a hypothesis not supported by data. but that does’t make it ok to misrepresent someone’s view.

>>2162416
>>2162689

>no one spoke Latin during the Roman Republic
Absolute bullshit. He said that the commoners all spoke Latin. However, he said that the aristocrats spoke Greek.
>battle of Zama didn't happen
Absolute bullshit. This is the exact opposite of his view. He spends like 10 minutes arguing emphatically against this point. If you think he believes this, it proves that you’re full of BS.
>Vikings weren't real
Absolute bullshit. He says the term “viking” is counterproductive. I believe he said he simply preferred the term “Nords” or something.
>climate change isn't real
No he said he hasn’t personally seen the evidence of it. in fact, he admitted he believes the climate is changing (or at least getting warmer)
>stagnant social mobility isn't real
no, he says that social mobility is slow but real. (it’s true, if you live in the developed world, you don’t know true social stagnation)
>castles were defended by three soldiers
bullshit. he said that it was the norm to have as few as 25 soldiers, but that more were summoned during siege.
He never said three in 'any situation'. He was trying to make a point about the misconception a lot of people have of extremely garrisoned castles in the middle ages.
>claims the Normans werent French
>claims the Angevins werent French
>claims the Knights Hospitaller (those who fought the Ottomans) werent French
well i guess it depends on your definition of “french”
>claims the French first set a foot on Malta in 1798 under evil Napoleon until glorious Brits liberated the island from them
well this kind of exaggerates his view. there is a whole lot more information in the video, and it’s much more nuanced (despite being very condensed)

lindy is not always correct, obviously. but that doesn’t make it ok to misrepresent his views.

>>2166239

in the spirit of the thing they got their can well and rightly kicked, as their country was in disarray for decades, I'd say that yes, Britain came out the better over all

>>2168518
The US came out better than Vietnam in every way but the South Vietnamese government they were supporting certainly lost.

I wonder if Lindy is the British equivalent of "we wuz US marines"

>>2168589
>The US came out better than Vietnam in every way but the South Vietnamese government they were supporting certainly lost.
That is some weapons grade doublethink right there.

>>2168518
England lost its holdings in France and didn't accomplish any of its main war goals.
They might have come out better since the war took place in France, but they certainly did not win the war.

>>2168597

Because we won Vietnam. The goal was to either wipe the enemy out, or leave the country such a bombed out shitshow that it would never be a viable stronghold for Communism. We sure as hell did the latter. While we did leave, it was after fucking them so hard they would never be a viable threat or ally and would drain resources from the Russians or Chinese.

We didn't have to plant our flag on their capitol to win, faggot.

>>2168672
We spent hundreds of thousands of lives, ALL our political capital, a ton of money and we came close to revolt

All to ensure vietnam was a *shitty* communist country instead of a powerful one? Vietnam was never going to be a "viable stronghold" of any type if our only goal was making vietnam weak we could have declared victory on day 1

>>2168689

But that's wrong. We even considered using nukes on them at one point. They could have used Vietnam as a staging point for a larger Communist influence in Asia. Especially when backed by China and Russia. If our goal was to "win" conventionally we never would have considered nukes. We did, because at one point we realized it was not winnable by conventional means so the best we could do was deny it to the enemy. We never came close to "revolt" because hippies weren't going to pick up arms and that was the heydey of MKULTRA. So we had plenty of nefarious shit going on to prevent that.

So did we win the conventional battle? In a way since we blew them to hell and back and we accomplished objective 2: leave the country a smouldering ruin that would drain resources of the Communists and make the point that we were ready to stomp anyone spreading Communism across the globe.

We certainly won the end game. If anything it was a gambit that paid off. In the world of chess, it was a sacrifice of material that paid off in the end to achieve a greater objective.

>>2157920
That's the joke. Everyone the OP listed are jokes.

>>2168672
-Withdraw from country after years of unconventional warfare
-draw up peace treaty
-abandon ally when treaty inevitably broken
-leave country for the communist north
>w-we won Vietnam!

>>2162689
People used throwing knives?

>>2168706
>make the point that we were ready to stomp anyone spreading Communism
I don't see why we needed Vietnam to do that. Even the "drain their resources" argument sounds weak because their problem wasn't a lack of resources but doing a piss poor job at using them effectively.

>>2157902
Am I the only one worried about seeing Lindybeige starting to suffer from the big channel syndrome?

When their videos start to become less original and individual and start taking on a certain form? When every video starts feeling more like a neatly packaged product rather than a spontaneous fluke of creativity? Like it feels he's starting to consider himself more as a youtuber than a guy with interest in history that does videos on youtube. At least that's what it feels like.

I dunno I'm afraid Lindy's about to lose the charm that made him big in the first place.

And then the ads...

Seen it happen before as well, with others.

>>2168365
>>2168367
Are you ok?

>>2169225
You really like Lindy huh?

>>2169246
He may speak bullshit every now and then but lets be honest here, a big reason most people watched him in the first place is because of his entertaining personality.

>>2169250
Well he does keep it entertaining. I prefer Scholagladiatoria mainly for the information, but unfortunately he's extremely boring

>>2169260

What about it? Operation Barbarossa was 90% successful, according to Hitler. It initially moved the front very rapidly towards Moscow, and from this area, the ports of Southern Ukraine were conquered, with German and Baltic infantry having to attack despite often being outnumbered three to one, and they succeeded.
Yes, they eventually lost some territory, but in the End the German economy was re-established soon afterwards and is now the largest in Europe.
