I can see a lot of modern, western secular Jews ascribing to this because it essentially gives them carte blanche to be as degenerate as they want under the pretense that Judaism has outgrown the need for God, but like, without forsaking the social advantages of being Jewish.
There's no need given that you can be an atheist eat pork and curse God every day and still be considered more of a jew than a Jew who accepts Christ but keeps kosher.
 
Probably the history yter I hope in highest regard as his narrow focus shows his actual expertise and has actually changed my perspective on a few elements of British history. Namely with regards to what the Anglo-Saxon invasion even is, with him saying it was mostly just an elite swap in the east but just a cultural change elsewhere in his Last Celts in England video. My only criticism is that his Mad Dogs of Cambria thing is not worthwhile as his co-host on it is just the worst, unfunny, libtard, just awful.
The best historians are the ones who have narrow fields of focus when they foremost experts on the American Civil War who actually was responsible for one of the best documentary series on PBS on it he also had a colleague who liked doing an entire 9 hour series on prohibition back when PBS actually made high quality documentaries and not global **** schlock
 
So it seems that TIK History had a falling out with the editor for Battlestorm after the editor got off track for a passion project and did not finish the Battlestorm episode he had been paid for. Apparently the editor demanded a lot of backpay and won't send the files for it until he recieves it.

While this is from TIK and possibly biased, I do believe him. He says he is gonna do a massively simpler video without fancy editing for the next Battlestorm

It's also very funny how people 2000 years ago knew stuff like lightning being faster than noise or moon causing tides and then went "yeah people on that one island use long sticks to move it".
It's honest to God my favorite thing to read on. The evolution of natural philosophy into science. You see people with limited information examining the world and coming to some silly conclusions, see how serious it was took, and eventually realize we'll be looked back on the same way.
 
I like to imagine that the Nebula CEO told him at gunpoint to make a video so they can upset all the losses attached to PhilosophyTube.

Since this thread isn't above discussing channels that deal with natural history/paleontology and I don't think he has been shilled in this thread (at least not for what I could gather) I want to show you one of my favs: The Budget Museum. This guy isn't exactly unknown but here's a sample of his most viewed, newest and my favourite video of his.
Guy seems to have a lot of attributes youse enjoy on historytubers.

This view was the new hotness but genetic archeology has more or less debunked this view, there was significant and quick genetic turnover right around when the Anglo Saxon invasions happened.
 
Can someone give me the rundown on this “Zoomer Historian” guy?
I'm super late to this but - he's a British guy who generally believes the British Empire was a net-positive on the world and that if the United Kingdom did not get involved in WW2 it would have retained its empire instead of going into rapid decline.

Which is generally understandable except the implication that WW2 was avoidable or that if it wasn't, the UK should have stayed out of it.
Those two points are what he has to defend the most. And those two points are what his haters won't let go of.

On another note, he appears sympathetic to Hitler but does not deny his war crimes.
Zoomer Historian says things implying he might be Christian, but he also says Hitler was Christian, and that's just flat out false. Look up "Positive Christianity" and the more you read the more you learn that Hitler worshipped the National State far above and ahead of God.

So if Zoomer Historian wants to be seen as objective, he ought to be willing to admit Hitler and his cohorts largely engaged in performative Christianity.
Until he does, he's standing on the blurred line between sympathetic to Hitler and aggrandizing Hitler.
Some would say, there is no line at all.
 
Which was to counter ludicrous propaganda from the war years to justify the loss of lives to defend polish independence by handing them over to the USSR.
Zoomer Historian is a bit too far into the David Irving camp of "Hitler did nothing wrong, it was all Himmler and a few rogue generals, Churchill was bribed to go to war!", but the guy making the response video probably still believes the Germans made skin lamps and jew soap
Zoomer doesn't directly make those arguments but I certainly get that impression. Especially because he often passively throws in statements that are verifiably false, amid a video that is largely accurate. Like how he passively says Hitler and the nazis were Christians when they literally planned to edit the bible and were only stopped due to how politically destructive it would have been.

Zoomer Historian will say things that are objectively accurate and then mix in inaccuracies so long as it makes Hitler look more sympathetic.

Agreed. I could find the papers I was taught on, but the prevailing academic theory is that the Celts more or less wiped out the indigenous Britons sometime in the early Bronze Age, if I recall correctly. The Romans had little genetic impact on Britain, same with the Vikings, same with the Normans. The Anglo-Saxons are the only group to have a really massive genetic impact on Britain since the Celts.

It isn't "No replacement or genetic influx", it is "Some replacement or genetic influx" since it is opposed to the traditional historiographical view of total extermination that was promoted since the Medieval era. It is that the adoption of Anglo-Saxon culture and religion by the native Britons in addition to settlement largely in the eastern part of the island was what happened, not the wholesale genocide of the Britons. There is very high genetic continuity with all English people and the Britons, with the lowest being in the East at around 70-50%. You should actually watch the video first, since he actually mentions genetic studies being in support of this view.
The Anglo-Saxons are the only group to have a really massive genetic impact on Britain since the Celts.
Even that is debatable as we don't have very strong sense of the genetic make-up of pre-Anglo-Saxon dwellers of what is now England. This is in part due to the fact that we don't really have much in the way of a baseline, same problem as doing genetic studies on Native Americans, because most modern individuals are in part European, the Welsh are also part English. Estimates can be as low as 20%. Wholesale replacements are done via disease most of the time, not violent invasion, and the Celtic replacement of the EEF population was in no small part due to pastoral diseases (like yursinia pestis) that the locals had no resistance to, which was also contributed to the EEF replacement of the WHG population of Britain.

If he went back a couple of decades and replaced "WWII" with "WWI" then his whole schpeel would have an actual leg to stand on. It's fairly agreed upon that the Empire began its slow death spiral after 4 years of Trench Warfare and poor planning sapped them of their manpower, stored wealth, and goodwill within the Commonwealth. They then spent the 20s relying on the Americans to help keep them afloat with the Washington Naval Conference more or less confirming their demotion to "Little Brother" status within the Anglo-Alliance they had going on with the United States. Yanks literally dictating Royal Naval policy.

It also didn't help that Winston Churchill fucked up the proposed return to the Gold Standard in 1925, fixing it at the pre-war rate instead of the actual current value because his pride refused to accept the reality the pound had begun depreciating. So he more or less guaranteed it would lose out to the Dollar. All of this was happening before Hitler even became chancellor and demanded land. Winning that conflict with Nazi Germany may have been the only thing keeping the "Britannica" illusion alive for another decade and a half, however, that's another debatable topic.

They basically became Spain after the War of the Spanish Succession, which itself is sometimes considered "WW0".

Semi-related video so I contribute to the thread instead of word-dump:


It's probably already been posted here, but it's the only decent video where the narrator doesn't make me want to cut my ears off or TTS.
