James McPherson. Dude doesn't bullshit around.

John Green is the worst thing to happen to history since David Irving.

This is a troll thread but i'll give a legit answer.

>>818591
Green glosses over important historical drivers. He also takes every opportunity to import opinion and supposition. His very worst habit is applying modern society tinted lenses to his historical narratives.

I liked crash course at first, but it started to get obvious. The whole channel is an attempt at social engineering through presenting history.

>>818718
could you give an example?

His anti slutshaming video, where he said he is OK with women who had sex with 48 men was very inspiring to women everywhere.

I mean, he may be a cuck but that has nothing to do with whether he's good at history or not.

The idiot is just a harmless SJW. But I don't hate him, but I do dislike him for anally inserting his modern opinions as if they are relevant to subject at hand.

>>818760
Anyone who uses the word cuck unironically needs to end themselves.

>>818764
What if I let black men fuck my wife, but ironically

>>818788

Americuck civil war history is so boring

>>818721
His Alexander the Great video. Brushes over his actual conquests and instead sends a good majority of the video discussing "greatness" and the marginalization of women throughout history.

It really is.

I'm an American so I figured I ought to know my country's history, but every attempt at researching the Civil War has just bored me.

A better nonbait example might be how he attributes their success to the sarissa, not the discipline and training needed to use such a long pike, no mention of macedonian cavalry or their tactics. This is of course ridiculous since the Persians could easily produce long pikes.

He's a decent counterweight to the 'Hitler is the worst man in history' meme which infects mainstream Historians.
