Hearted Youtube comments on TIKhistory (@TheImperatorKnight) channel.

  1. He hated the Kaiser and the Kaiser hated Hitler. Also, the ones who turned on Hitler during the war was most often aristocrats (Stauffenberg and co)

  2. Your opening statements are a truly revealing and a honest indictment of the political correct climate that prevails today. That being said thank you very much for having the courage to tackle this extremely sensitive and difficult subject. My granddad was a holocaust survivor and I can honestly say that I 100% support the freedom to ask any questions about any subjects even the most painful ones. Censureship and dogma hurts the truth much more then the deniers do. It only feeds their feeble arguments. So thank you TIK for taking this subject on.

  3. Tik in the course of 5-6 years went from "Hitler was loosely Christian" to "Hitler was Pegan" to "Hitler believed in the Marxian mythology" back to "Hitler was a Norse Pegan"

  4. But this wasn't the real Marx. Real Marx was never tried before... Real Marx would work

  5. Glad you finally brought up the hostility between the Austrian Fascist and Nazi Parties.

  6. the video is good, but there are a few points that are worth adding or correcting: Firstly, Plotinus was not a Christian, he was a pagan, but some of his students were Christians and ended up influencing early Christianity. It's important to define this because the relationship between Christianity and Platonist philosophy changes depending on the period. Secondly, Plotinus didn't just disagree with some Gnostics, his thought was incompatible with any Gnostic strand. Gnosticism is based on dualism, the idea that matter and soul are completely separate. Neoplatonism has its main thesis in the idea of monism, that the physical world and the world of ideas coexist and are not separate. Thirdly, as important as Saint Thomas Aquinas was for the development of Western thought, to associate the Renaissance as a sequence of his thought is absurd. Historically, the renaissance occurred through the reintroduction of Neoplatonist thought in the West, especially by the Greek philosopher Gemistos Plethon, who was an influence on the creation of the Platonist academy in Florence. Fourthly, Kant did not revive Platonism, because the philosophical current never died. Fifthly, Nietzsche was not a hermetic, his thinking was based on biology and materialism, far removed from any dualist theory. His greatest influence, apart from Schopenhauer, whom he sought to surpass, was Heraclitus, who was also not a dualist. Sixthly, although Giovane Gentile was an important fascist intellectual, it makes much more sense to trace the political origins of fascism to Georges Sorel's national syndicalist movement. Seventh, as much as the video identifies the origins of the mystical aspects of Nazism, it fails to identify its political origins which are unknown even to the people who propagate these ideas. National socialism is an Austrian ideology developed by several individuals, but primarily by a man called Rudolf Jung, who was responsible for giving the ideology its theoretical body, in his main work “Der Nationale Sozialismus: Seine Grundlagen, Sein Werdegang, und Seine Ziele”, or “National Socialism: its Foundations, its Development, and its Goals”, which was published in 1919. I've always been fascinated by the fact that people discuss national socialism so much, but few people are able to pinpoint the creator of the ideology (Jung himself considered himself the Marx of national socialism). Eighthly, Julius Evola was never of the third position, Evola was a reactionary with various mystical influences, he was always critical of the political aspects of fascism and national socialism, but this association exists in people's minds because he already praised mystical ideas that existed specifically in the SS. He didn't approve of national socialism because he saw it as a plebeian and anti-aristocratic movement, but he saw something of value in the SS, as conservative and noble. He even has a book called “Fascism seen from the right” in which he criticizes fascism for being a revolutionary and nationalist ideology derived from the French extreme left. Associating evola with the third position is wrong, but there are people who take inspiration from some of evola's positions, but this is generally the meme ideology of the dissident internet right, which associates antogonistic thinkers (it's a question of vibes, not ideology). The video is good, but as the subjects covered are obscure by nature, it ends up creating some meaningless and superficial associations, connecting things that should be more separate (as in the case of the renaissance), or ignoring fundamental pieces (such as Sorel and Rudulf Jung). Despite this, the video is a great starting point to discuss these topics.

  7. I will enjoy the hate comments coming. Thanks for standing up for truth, and absorbing the abuse. Many of us thought this for years, but you can't say it because people have been brainwashed by educators that wanted to rewrite history.

  8. In Soviet Russia, economy collapses you.

  9. As an American I'd like to apologize for the existence of The View... Thanks for talking about this TIK.

  10. "All within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State" and "our press is the most free in the world, so long as they support the regime" are the two statements that people tend to forget Fascism revolves around. That the State may CHOOSE to ALLOW private ownership and operation of ANY part of the economy was the point - and yet even so, IF it was allowed it was only for purposes of furthering the regime. That's not capitalism.
    849
  11. Just because someone misjudged something doesn’t mean they’re insane …it just means they’re human 😂
    846
  12. I think the big thing is that people are scared by the fact that a human could be so evil yet be so "logical".
    845
  13. It actually stands today in the US, to retreat without the order is desertion, and desertion while in combat is a capital offense.
    844
  14. Japan did have a few technologies that outclassed their American counterparts at least in the beginning of the Pacific War. Their Type 93 torpedo (long-lance) and A6M Zero were better than the American Mark 14 (even if it worked properly) and the Wildcat respectively. However, their ships were largely equivalent or inferior in terms of technology but were initially superior in terms of training and command. Eventually the Japanese were outclassed in pretty much every aspect (I would say around mid 1943).

  16. And just to point out, it was the German Logisticians who told everyone they would not support an invasion of Russia and it should not be tried..The army just ignored them

  18. I thought WW2 was the part of history I knew the most about. It turns out I didnt know anything.

  19. I have been absolutely disgusted with all UK politicians. They are a disgrace.
    801
  20. I was in a communist feminist group in college (In the UK). when I started watching other content online (some people may disagree with certain people I watched and read, but that's beside the point, It made me not an insufferable freakshow who hates everyone who disagrees with me) When I left said group in college, I was threatened and cajoled to stay on the threat of being beaten and slandered in various circles. but I didn't care I wanted out for my sanity. so I left. managed to finish my college studies. I was then contacted on repeat by the morons who made the threats to me. that they'd find me and stalk me. hence why I'm still anonymous to this day.

  21. I like how most of the people insulting you, have Soviet and communist profile pics... That just raises red flag(!)

  22. thanks for the shoutout(s)! Just watched the first 9 minutes, so far, great work! Gotta get a stream ready, will watch the rest later!

  23. "He's completely clueless" TIK: hundreds of on-screen references and hours of well-researched opinions

  24. If you own a car but can only drive it when and where the state tells you, do you really own it?

  25. LMAO IM WHEEZING AT HOW HITLER JUST ROASTED ITALY AT 2:06

  26. I'm shocked the Stalingrad series wasn't better received. It's a huge achievement. Not until having been mesmerized by the series have I realized I never before really understood the encounter despite the mountain of books published about it. It was through you I was led to an incredible historian, David Glantz. Best wishes in the new year.

  27. "Don't waste your cereal Timmy, those poor Germans in the 6th Army would be so grateful for it!"
    773
  28. Because supplying a quarter of a million men from the air is sort of difficult. Especially when people are shooting at you.
    772
  29. War is a continuation of politics by other means. You can’t really discuss military history without discussing politics and policy.
    770
  30. It makes me quite disappointed that you receive such a severely negative response, especially when your sources are solid and your analysis is reasonable. If there is a criticism of this video, I can only hope it would go to an equal depth of research instead of just accusing him of being a revisionist. An accurate understanding of history reflects an accurate understanding of life. Thanks for the lesson

  31. My goodness, Karl Marx is a monster

  32. SEASON 1? Heavy breathing intensifies

  33. I'm honestly amazed at the level of research that goes into this.

  35. I truly stand corrected, educated and more informed. I have being using the term fascist incorrectly for years without realising. Thanks, much appreciated.
    747
  36. Most of the way through Peaky Blinders, currently on chapter 5 with Mosley as the antagonist. He's made a couple comments about fascism and national socialism which came off as modern misunderstandings of the eras ideologies. So, glad you are commenting on this. Perfect timing really 🤣

  37. In the U.S. library of Congress you can find the Lend Lease numbers and it shocked me at its enormity. Absolutely shocked me. 2,500 locomotives cannot be overlooked...Nor can 2.5 million tons of fuel and oil. The numbers go on and on
    743
  38. "Democracy is another word for Totalitarianism." Good for you for putting these challenging ideas out there. I have been slowly gravitating toward the Mises view (or at least learning more about it) and you make me all the more interested.
    740
  39. SHOUT OUT!!!
    731
  40. How to make Hitler from total lunatic to brilliant strategist in 46 minutes? Well, watch this video...
    721
  41. If the operation Citadel was started a week earlier, the Germans would win the war and the Tiger was the best tank of WW2!!!!!
    717
  42. I sense a great disturbance in the aether: as though millions of philosophasters cried out in terror, and then broke into a cacophony of circular arguments, personal insults, and a vigorous round of "no u."

  43. When I get home I’m downloading this video to my YouTube vault. Just in case.

  44. Here comes the mob of angry Wehraboos

  45. "Let's talk about bloat in the German Army. And here's a picture of Goering." Ouch, that hurt.

  46. I 'm surprised Starmer hasn't come for you yet mate!
    689
  47. Thank you for putting this together. Unfortunately today people are more likely to learn their History from memes than take the time to actually listen to actual facts.
    684
  48. Can you even imagine how hilariously uncooperative a humanzee army would have been
    680
  49. TIK, I never was a Socialist or leftie, but I've still learned more from your channel than my entire history degree. Don't give up.

  50. While thoroughly annoyed at Google/YT censorship of history, I do admire how well TIK calls it out and how ridiculous it is.
