https://youtube.com/watch?v=sSJJ5XXM0UYLove this channel. There's something really niche but also very entertaining about some guy blabbing on about the history behind random graves and the people contained inside them. Guy does a lot of work trying to research and uncover the true story of the people as best he can from whatever new paper articles, papers, and other minute things exist in archives.


https://youtube.com/watch?v=gPgHkAlQ_N4Shitty pop history video on the HRE. I don't particulalry like Jack's content, it is very hit or miss but this one is probably one of his worst.

Why's there an Asian in the thumbnail if we're talking about the Holy Roman Empire?

Just couldn't get passed the first 4 minutes. Guy with an annoying voice goes "here is this extremely waterdown oversimplyfied explanation of Chinese history and it's totally like this thing I just learned through reddit meme memes call the Holy Roman Empire that has these many little local kingdoms. Lol, totally not like the western roman empire or the British. Why is it called an Empire? Where they like warlords and shit? IDK." Like can you please do an indepth research before you make a video and talk like you and your audience are actually interested in knowledge.

Because the video is made by a retarded man for even more low IQ individuals

I've encountered users in other threads who didn't even know that Germany was a kingdom in the Empire (with functioning institutions to boot!) while making direct comparisons between it and asian history/culture, one of the worst crimes of pop history has been to normalize the idea of empire as a heavily centralized state with a clear national identity when that has been the opposite for virtually every self-declared empire (including many Chinese dynasties) and most colloquial empires.

I remember when I was a teenager in middle school, my two best friends had a debate over creationism vs a multi billion year earth. When the topic of dinosaur bones were brought up, I remembered that my creationist friend argued that God put them in the ground to confuse people. It was a heated debate and one of the funner memories from school.

That's not the point I'm trying to make just the fact that when it comes to dinosaur bones we have significantly fewer than what most people seem to think we do and paleontologists seem very very trigger happy on announcing new dinosaurs or new discoveries that really are nothing but guesswork.

But does God have a sense of humor or does He simply allow things to happen that He knows people will find funny?

I know but what you said brought back found memories in my head and I wanted to share.

God is good.

The arguing in the comments is funny. That "British looted $45 trillion saar, yes!", "India is an artificial construct, it was never real." (probably Pakistani), "Muslims." (could be anyone really). The video likely cited post-independence, Hindu nationalist sources, ones that idolise Gandhi's role in it all whilst simultaneously trying to distance themselves from having any hand in it. The tell is how the video says it was the king who appointed Mountbatten to oversee it all, when Mountbatten was actually chosen by the president of the Indian league and was then appointed by Attlee, just to name one. The video also says Jinnah, the guy who called for a day of direct action did not call for violence, but when announcing the said event he said:

"We do not want war. If you want war we accept your offer unhesitatingly. We will either have a divided India or a destroyed India."

And the day prior:

"Go to the Congress and ask them their plans. When they take you into their confidence I will take you into mine. Why do you expect me alone to sit with folded hands? I also am going to make trouble."

Potential political sperging, or history sperging, can't tell: Indian nationalists are stuck in an awkward position of hating the British and wanting to blame everything wrong with India on having been ruled by them, but then consequently having to do mental gymnastics to defend a group that is ostensibly foreign to the sub-continent despite said group wanting either nothing to do with them or see them all eradicated. They're forced to foster an image of the country in their heads which never really existed. What doesn't help this is India never wrote down its own history. It always took outside forces invading or coming to rule in a local kingdom for something to be put to paper. The first kingdom to start writing anything down was the Dehli sultanate, which took a chunk out of North India in the 12/13th centuries, which is why we have to rely on Chinese or Persian writings prior. The Mughals arriving and actually writing shit down comprehensively and being the best rulers of the sub-continent prior to the British also stings, since Hindu nationalists don't want to laud an invading, ostensibly Muslim state. Their achievements have to be their own, and the absence of such achievements already is because of the British extracting $45 trillion dollars of wealth from the continent (that's a 3rd of the USA in current day) so yeah, I can't even laud their national pride on principle.

Pretty much every colonized country has to wrestle with the fact that they were colonized in the first place. Sure your colonial masters brutalized you and stole you from you, but why were you so weak to allow that to happen?

Nationalists have no answer except for scapegoats. Indian nationalists blame the Muslims and Sikhs without realizing that it was those divisions that allowed the British to conquer in the first place.
