  2. Man, it's devastating to hear of a loved once's death mid YouTube documentary. I really hope I can still return to watch your videos without getting a painful memory of this moment, because your content seems great.

  3. Fantastic, I can't wait for you guys to hit 100k subs. You've come a long way and I'm so glad to benefit from the fantastic videos you've made along the way.

  4. I've seen the Shinzo Abe video before in my recommendations soon after it came out but thought nothing of it. Thought it was a low-effort video and brushed it aside without watching. Now I see this video, and I'm blown away by it. It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch! I'll have to watch the rest of your videos? Documentaries? The line is getting blurry as the content on this platform surpasses big-budget protections. Anyway, finally, I got to add another new channel to my subscription after so long! Thanks for the great work you put into this and everything else!

  5. I have been anxiously awaiting Spectacles next video and I was not disappointed. Very impressive video!

  6. Great video. Very well produced and educational. +1 for the “Greetings from Kansas City” t-shirt!

  7. Insane how good this channel is. Better than anything Netflix makes

  8. I'm not really sure where anyone is getting “Bauhaus” from this building. The design strikes me as belonging to the “New Formalism” movement, which was popular in the 1960s. The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs by Minoru Yamasaki is a very similar-looking building from the same period. Both buildings are very consciously reinventing a classical temple with modern-looking columns and window screens. Yamasaki's work on Wayne State Campus in Detroit, Michigan also marries similar modernist temples with water features.

  9. It is fascinating to see how the broad public sentiment is that the assassination itself should be condemned, but the reasons for said assassination were justified. Leading to the, in practice, one party state to cut ties and try to reform. At least try to show they are responding to public opinion even though to win re-election they wouldn't necessarily have to. It goes to show how even though Japan is a strong democracy, there are still serious risks of a single party having such a tight grip on control with no reasonable chance of opposition unseating them. If worse actors (and less resilient guardrails against said actors) were in control of Japan's Liberal Democratic party we would see worse things happening in their system. It shocks me that there approval is as low as %17 and they still don't need to worry about being unseated by the opposition.

  10. I'm transfem, and I gotta say... The narrative style and overall mood made this absolutely touching. 😊

  11. This might be the most nuanced content on the matter I have come across. Most of the media spend their time with arguing about if one is supposed to like Netanjahu or not... to support Israel or not.

  12. Props on providing thoughts on the current world at the end there. Far too many people shy away from doing that, but coming from someone so well-read on the topic it holds weight.

  13. Thank you for the insightful documentary! This was something I didn't expect, despotism using democracy as a means of remaining in power and staying relevant. And to be honest, it's something I can respect the KMT-regime for. Their confidence in being able to remain relevant after instating elections, and using that confidence to democratise Taiwan is a mentality I would encourage. It benefits both those who desire to remain in power, and massively increases the quality of life their citizens have.

  14. Your channel is criminally underrated. I'm a big fan of your work and a long-time subscriber. Great work on this one. As an IR scholar, I am amazed by how you succinctly explained End of History. Also it's great that you got to interview Fukuyama.

  15. Succinct, informative, organized… Fabulous

  16. Amazing videos, just finished bingeing all your videos. New ideas and great editing, script, voiceover on par with channels with millions of subscribers. You’ll get there in no time, keep it up!

  17. 6k views??????? What the actual fuck! Why is nobody watching this video? It's enjoyable, informative, and presents interesting facts about Napoleon that the majority of the world has forgotten about.
    28
  18. Amazing job guys. Sometimes I forget how small this channel is. It won't stay that way for long, I promise you that. Please keep making this amazing, important content. We need it. ❤ Also, props for bracing many of these comments.. I think I would go nuts within a few seconds, and I kinda am already. People are ridiculous.

  19. What a great video man, super entertaining.
    26
  20. I've never watched any of your videos so far, I haven't even watched this one. I just happened to find your channel, but once I played the first few seconds of the video and then noticed that you put all the sources in the description, I instantly subscribed. Prepare yourself to have me binge all your videos.

  21. These are still people, even if you think them to be foolish. They died horribly for a man who threw them away like garbage
    24
  22. I love you guys so much. You make some of the highest quality informative content on this platform. Lemmino-level quality, dare I say
    23
  23. Incredible. You guys are my favorite channel. So happy that finally you got the recognition you deserve!!
    23
  24. Really good explanation of Fukuyama's work, I learned a lot myself!
    22
  25. This is tremendous work (as always). I also loved the ocean shots. Hope this vid gets the attention it deserves!
    22
  26. God your channel is so underrated.
    21
  27. Your videos are by far the greatest. I’m in complete disbelief that you aren’t at 500k. Anyways..I’m here at at 992 subscribers! Let’s get to 500k

  28. 20:20 Hey uh, for future reference, maybe don't open your coat and say "armed with a .38 revolver", then look in your pocket and say "and 10 bullets" while standing in front of a court house

  30. Epic animation at the beginning

  31. “More democracy doesn’t mean better democracy” FINALLY Someone who isn’t a an American Constitutional scholar or Conservative Republican that understands that principle. Some advocates for democracy don’t understand that tyranny of the majority from an unfettered democracy exists. American Conservatives love to go on how there’s an important philosophical distinction between a Republic and a Democracy, but that only has a limited appeal that people in the political center, center-left and left wing either can’t, won’t, or just don’t understand. Other pro-democracy advocates, who are not political conservatives or on the right wing at all, put a strong emphasis on Institutions — which is basically the same argument American Conservatives make about Republics Vs Democracies but said in a different way. The will of the majority is not enough. Checks and balances between political branches, and explicit protections for the rights of the individual are just as important.

  32. Tremendous work, as always! Your pacing & production quality are truly insane. And as someone who is woefully ignorant of a lot of European history, your channel is slowly turning me into a functional human being
    20
  33. Does it count as following the advice if you know your neighbors but hate them?
    20
  34. Can anyone recommend books on this? I'm really curious about the transition from dictatorship to democracy
    19
  35. So illuminating! Thank y’all for the to-the-point and easy to digest info, as always. Also: your animations are getting more and more impressive! Way to go!

  36. its a great day when spectacles posts. almost as exciting as a lemino post. keep. it. up.
    18
  37. Wow! What an incredible follow up, and thank you for putting out such great informative content!
    17
  38. Your videos provide such great information while also inspiring me to dig into even more. It's not an easy balance to strike but you guys always crush it!

  39. Amazing guys.. looking forward to still being here when you hit the 1 million subs you deserve 👍🇮🇪

  40. The video's title referencing JFK made me expect an absurd political assassination enshrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories... But I was pleasantly surprised to instead find an in-depth analysis of the last days of a dictatorship. A perfect example of how a familiar title can be just enough to hook you into something far more interesting. Although I have to admit, perhaps choosing such a generic name may also detract from the actual topic of the video.
    16
  41. Lovely stuff yet again - what an interesting topic to deep dive into.
    16
  42. You guys are crimminally underrated
    15
  43. This is some of the best and most unique political analysis I've seen on this platform. Great narrative, great editing. You deserve more subs
    15
  44. This was so dense with information without ever feeling like it. Stoked to see more Philip-on-the-street action!
    15
  45. Oooh this is going to be an exciting video Ok this was a topic i have never seen in a video and I love it. The topic is one that I would like to know about the EU's history as an institution. Yes the division within the EU with the hungary and poland tieup is concerning and from this video i know where it came from.

  46. My parents and younger siblings are halfway through a 6 month stay in Tauranga, and listening to their perspective (which is already a cross cultured one of British and American) was fascinating. We all know the varied geography and ecosystems of NZ, being like that of a mini continent, but their culture and society is also very unique. Not even including the cultural significance of the Māori, my Mum has described it as a future set in the past. The mindset of a New Zealander is very progressive, yet in many ways the entire country according to my mum reminds her of growing up in England in the 70s. Everything feels old and quaint, even the capital doesn’t necessarily sport the vibrant city life that her neighboring Australia’s cities are famous for. All the cities are of course beautiful and vibrant, but it certainly can be argued to have this “old timey” feel to it. This doesn’t even get into the unique living setup of NZ, with towns and communities having this odd blend of British (or generally European) naturally flowing town centers with American-esque suburbs alongside. Then the geography plays its part and you can go from feeling like your in England, then suddenly Scotland, and then Norway, and even the Andes, at least to me. Such a fascinating country.
