Hoping to snag this for Christmas

With foreign wars and tyrannies
It's been hard to just get by
Here's hopin' the year '26
Turns out better than '25

Map I'm including in November's video: what if the Revolutionary War was a pyrrhic victory for the United States?

@neatling.bsky.social has not stopped winning.

Imagine being the dude who uploaded this video only for it to blow up due to the most wanted man in the world downloading it.

The embargo benefits Cuba more than it does the United States at this point. It doesn't make the island any substantially poorer than it already is, but it's an effective scapegoat for Havana and the far-left. We oughta do what the UN has been saying for over 30 years.

Entire nations get this treatment too.

You'd think this (or worse) would have already happened to Omar if the conspiracy theories about world-controlling Jews were true, given Netanyahu himself knows about her and the criticisms she's made of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians years before October 7th made it mainstream.

Behind-the-scenes trivia about the Yavin video:

The opening crawl was originally an introduction in the script. Before I started recording, I decided to cut down on how much I would have to record by making that unique intro.

I'm not making another one If I ever make a Hoth video.

Just watched Marvel Zombies.

I'm blaming Vision for everything that happens in the show.

I liked it, more Kamala is always nice, can't wait for season 2, but I just had to put that out there.

Idk guys, he might have a point.

Just watched the newest @th3birdman15.bsky.social video about Kangmin Lee. Most brutal instance of Korean-on-Korean murder since 1953.

Jokes aside, I love the "Exposing the Grift" series, probably more than the "EWW Cinemasins" series I subscribed for. Keep up the good work, Birdman.

Winston Churchill considered "the dangerous moment of the war" not to be the Dunkirk evacuation or the Battle of Britain, but "when the Japanese fleet was heading for Ceylon."

If you don't understand his reasoning, my most recent video should clear that up for you.

45 years ago today, the eight year long war between Sean Connery and Super Mario began.

Sometimes I think of my videos as a Trojan horse for learning about what really happened. Not sure how much the majority of my audicence actually learns anything from my videos, but it's funny to imagine someone realizing "wait I'm just learning history why am I watching this."

Let us hope that in 2061, there will not be a third.

Time to ruin your 9/11 remembrance with an ice cold take about Gaza.

"No Patrick, just because Osama bin Laden was r̶a̶b̶i̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶t̶i̶s̶e̶m̶i̶t̶i̶c̶ pro-Palestine doesn't mean he was secretly a good person. Killing thousands of civilians is wrong no matter who's doing the killing."

I don't live in a small state or anything, (in the top 25 by population) but anytime I find out someone famous is from the same state as me, I get a lil happy. Wonder if that's just me.

Probably doesn't help that no presidents have been born in this state.

I never expect this to get the titanic amount of views it's gotten, but thanks to everyone who watched my most recent video.

Is it just me or does anyone else not take horror seriously when it tries to tie into real world historical events. Like if I heard about "the monster the Nazis fed bodies to underneath Auschwitz" I'd roll my eyes out the back of my skull.

New #alternatehistory video by @counterfactor.bsky.social on Imperial Japan in WW2. Definitely worth a watch if you want your preconceptions in regards to WW2 era Japan challenged youtu.be/k__LtnvpNMc

Happy Victory over Japan Day.

The Revolutionary War is a fucking alternate history goldmine why isn't this war as big as the Civil War or World War II.

Just as I said yesterday, the substack posts are up. Click the link in my bio to see them. They're scheduled to be avaliable in precisely one week.

In the meantime, I've been reading "1775: A Good Year for Revolution" by Kevin Phillips, specifically the sections about Canada.

Next upload will finally drop on September 2nd. Substack links will be posted tomorrow. In the meantime, I am open to suggestions for future videos. Reply to this post what topics you think would be fitting for my channel.

Used to live with bus distance of Minnesota's Twin Cities. Worked at the Mall of America in Bloomington. Idk what everyone complains about, the big city ain't that bad.
