Sometimes as a historian. A layman is watching thinking, I can't believe this really happened. I'm watching as a historian and seeing the inversion of his fascist salute. Since he is neither the fuhrer of Germany or the first citizen of Rome. I would be interested to ask where he got off thinking he made it that far with 10000 people.

Simon, I just realized by covering this man. You provided great historical example to the folly of just saying boy, there's a lot of simpletons in that crowd. Why not just tell them what they want to hear and win/profit from it.

I think its important for historians to point out to the regular folk that don't understand. The popular sentiment at the beggining of the second(really 5th) world War was that Japan had super soldiers that had developed a language in bird to communicate with each other in the jungle. Germans were super soldiers who were going to curb stomp anybody who tried to stop them. Modern day isn't made to understand how the vegas odds were stacked going into the war. Both Henry Ford and Howard Hughes wrote fdr letter calling him a fool who would soon be conquered for not siding with the axis.

If he makes good pr for that time and place. Even if those ideas about him aren't 100 percent truthful, sure he will. Lincoln has already proved that Michael scotts don't just exist in a fictional Scranton.

And get that flag that basically is representing everything that is the opposite of the trump/Lincoln coup out of the capital building. Its racist. Its YOUR flag. Not racist at all. It was a flag defending democracy which got defeated and has been whitewashed to be the bad flag when we wouldn't have a flag if we had to get rid of representations of any racist in history. An invisible flag. Everyone is in the America's fighting over the wealth of a truly racist man who was taught a valuable lesson by God in ww2 which broke him of the habit. So get rid of your money. A racist got you that.

Both Abraham and Mary Lincoln as well as the grants and all else were in very good with this law I speak of. Probably not freedom fighters. As much as cersei lannister is one.

Pretty amazing he was stopped by not having control of the press. It was used against him. Between neville Chamberlain sueing for peace and this man. Is it hard not to imagine this looking like the future. Churchill had been thrown out of parliament for warmongering at this point.

Someone who actually did something without racist motives in their heart from that time period would be Billy the kid outlaw. After being born lower mid class and father dying. Mom meets a rich old white guy who takes them west. Mom dies. Rich white guy abandons Billy immediately like not my sperm. Indians take Billy in and raise him. Billy watched Indians get killed and mistreated. Billy fights back. They hide in a dark house and shoot him for disobeying the LAW.

And poo poo on the south for wanting the original counts to stand.

Very unpatton. Very unpatton. The brits developed the term rommel to mean you did something excellently during ww2. You rommeled it. I would like to do the same with Patton. He lost his job that he was very good at not taking the path of least resistance to simpletons.
1
Notice how he can cover a roman ruler and just cutely talk about millions upon millions of deaths. He doesn't ask, how dare a statue was built to him by these people which is how we know their features. H man there is plenty of how dare you. I can use the word Japanese. Cuz they keep their heads down, helps people forget. I can say hirohito. I have to say h man. You created that monster yourselves.

And what we always fondly say about Lincoln to travel down easy street. He was bad at politics and didn't understand the job of president. But he was also some sort of be all end all magically wizard who knew all along what we needed better than we were able to demonstrate through the democratic process.

@rd-wj3sh You all are so clever. There needs to be a reply to all button. So history. Is expansive. People tend to specialize. Mine is George S Patton. I'm the world's foremost authority. Pleased to meet you. Have heard the man mentioned in one sentence in my vast personal, physical ww2 library. Denny Hair and Carlo D'Este may want to take me up on my claim. If you gentlemen ain't them. You won't be.
1
While I make no claim to being the best foremost authority on Patton. What I have come to learn. We are all. A dang sight better than ANY of the worlds foremost authorities on ernie Pyle or dwight Eisenhower.

Lincolns wife was so abhorrent to be around to anyone around her, she was the only woman in the 1800s that got her husband into multiple duel challenges without sexual affairs being involved. Thats how detestable she was to anybody who even had slight personal contact. To the point she singlehandedly save us grants life on assassination night with the grants detestation of her.
1
So basically. Jan. Just to further make that comparison.
1
Lincoln set the slave free. And that's true. But south park is never wrong and will not be in the 1860s either. What about our jobs, abe? Won't they do them for cheaper. Not if they are on a 3rd world island. Lincoln set you free, to starve and sit on a 3rd world island. It was John Wilkes booth who set you free, IN AMERICA.

A white celebrity who made lil Wayne money in the 1860s shot him and unknowingly created lil Wayne himself in 120 years time.

Does this sound familiar children? There's youtube fame and fortune over in them hills yonder. Oh wait. Not at all. Left behind. There was a gold rush in the 1800s in which a couple people hit gold pockets and got rich. It sent half of America west to do same. Turned out there was a few pockets of gold. For a few people to discover.

So as a historian. I'm a little disappointed. I understand everybody except men who get to invert their fascist salutes have bosses and I understand the algorithm but not to make more of an effort to make people understand the story of the h man crib pic is again more of the same I already talked about. As a historian you have to take a step back and be objective. That means separating the holocaust and h mans ability to govern as 2 separate things. He is either, catering towards lesser minds bc it is the path of least resistance or worse. Is a poor historian. I doubt the latter. If so, I would refer you to fellow country man max Hastings for some context readjustment.

And its like. You hate books. Ok. You like youtube. Learn the behind the scenes skills and take those seriously. Editing. Script writing. Nope. I'm starring baby. I talk for 10 minute. One million dollars please. OK well. Hopefully it works out.
1
H man seems to hold a special place in our hearts as the ultimate baddie. But your a modern day sjw who has been taught sub basic level history and developed your opinions and worldview around them. Case in point. 3 holocausts occurred during ww2 really 5. You are acutely aware of the smallest. Who else did they kill? Thats what you've been trained to think. Try japan. 15 million Chinese Philippino and Indian persons. No factories. Lead and fires and body pits. You didn't hear because it was churchill self proclaimed darkest moment. The other dark thing there is all the aforementioned skin tones.
1
Also Simon, tell your editor to do their job. Like bill would say it. You're sitting here pronouncing Egyptian and roman names like they were your bestie. They are typing things like labor stike underneath you.
1
Or I'm sure you would prefer labour. I'm a churchill man so I can go either way. I look at the brit as a cousin with a typically much better taste in gaming than most of my American ones.
1
Every brit realizes gta is a goat. I've never had to argue gta to an englishman. Constantly to Americans who would prefer anything else, they just can't get those things to sell very well. Therefore, you've kept me in superior game taste to other Americans for a long time. And I realize a whole country buying something helps.
1
I guess thatcher drilled the concept of a free market deciding king into you. Americans apparently smoked ourselves retarded while Reagan pleaded for us to use our brains. And now an American seems to be unable to identify, I like thing y. Thing x sold waaaaaaay better. The final facts about thing y, it is better because, I like it, I'm a millenial, and I have spoken.
1
And yes. One could set thing x to be gta v. And thing y to be the last of us.
1
And with that being said. I vote the game awards be moved to England. And I'm American.
1
Can I know whats best for you? No. Can adolphus? No. Hes pretty good. I'm telling you. Can donald trump? Absolutely not. Can Abraham? Of course. Hes magical.
1
Very similarly to this perception is today's perception of the Civil War. Same thing. Vegas said the south was curb stomping this dictator/president. And for 2 years, they did.
1
So that today we make videos like this, like look at this crazy guy from the past. He was not crazy. He was the safe better. The odds follower.
1
This would be similar betting to walking into the 1980 winter Olympics and putting one million dollars on team usa to beat team russia in ice hockey.
1
But at the end of the day its becoming a victor or victim to history by making choices. For example. Lincoln shared about the popularity trump does now in his time. So could trump be looked at as a hero for losing washington entirely and exposing liberals who had gone to far both in time and money to fulfill the promises they have made off the back of 2 republican conquerors name George Patton and Douglass MacArthur. Who knows?
1
I don't think a utopian future of everybody getting to be Mr me ftw is in the cards for every American but I've been wrong before.

A man so racist. He disowned his famous frontiersman grandpa that gave him his stature and endurance for ww2 because the man was Hispanic.
