  1. One of the issues associated with larger channels is that they gain popularity by familiarizing the audience with shallow content. Nowadays, it seems like people are no longer actively seeking specific content; instead, they are drawn to individuals who claim to be experts and only tune in if it strokes their ego. By simply taking a glimpse at Schwerpunkt's videos, one can comprehend the substantially higher quality present, without even boasting about competence, truth, and other elements.

  2. I like your points about cultural representation. Everyone is obsessed with the Roman "red blob" and nobody seems to care about one of the single most influential ethnicities in the history of mankind, as if Rome had sprung out of nothing. And the worst of this is that they are by far more developed and documented communities than peoples that are constantly/overly represented in pop-culture instead. If someone doesn't know Italic history they quite can't comprehend much about Rome and I can see why this was all canceled: the Indo-European core. Videos like this should be showed in every school

  3. I am quite perplexed to see how most people believe that medieval Italian history is only wealth and art, without even suspecting the military power achieved by the city states and lordships. And we are not even talking about quality, but also about the size of the armies. I admit that it is a difficult paradox and that most people just don't connect the socio-political dots, but it is clear that there is something that has gone seriously wrong in the western historiography of the last generations and we are not even aware of the pile of gold on which we sit

  4. Your channel is basically the only one that escapes the meme-clickbait pop culture and explains real history in detail and competently. Before listening to your videos objectively I did not know what the Middle Ages was: everything I learned in school, listened to, read in mass culture was practically useless. I had to start over and really understand thoroughly. Your work is precious

  5. What I love the most about this channel is that it really tells you the deal and can't care less about under-educated people. This is what the world needs

  6. One extraordinary thing about this channel that I'm not sure whether the followers fully grasp is how deeply and truly European such work is. If you search on youtube for European history you would get it all fragmented as if the various countries were little shells on their own that you should admire for some touristic reason but playing on the categorical separation from one another. Schwerpunkt not just has an impressive knowledge about the Old Continent but he's incredibly well versed on the UNITARY concept of European identity and culture, even in the differences. If one doesn't grasp this and comes to this channel just to focus within certain times and spaces they have not really understood what Schwerpunkt is about. Pure gold here

  7. This channel is pure historical pleasure

  8. Share en masse: people don't even know he's out there. This channel is hands down the top quality historical content on youtube

  9. I love how Schwerpunkt doesn't care less about where people come from and just makes content for the sake of giving them a historical literacy

  10. Rome is incomparably the most important thing that happened to mankind, possibly surpassing the entirety of the remainder alone

  11. Thank you man, for this work, seriously. Not just the authors' choices are very interesting but it really opens your eyes about Medieval culture. The part on Erchempert at the end was very moving. Thanks again

  12. Schwerpunkt makes objectively the best history content on youtube. We simply must make him grow

  13. The most important thing to understand about Schwerpunkt is that a channel is made for people with a culture. I have been following the channel for years and have observed many people going against the mere concept of quality and crashing disastrously on the rock of Schwerpunkt. His videos shouldn't be "watched", they should be carefully studied with notes and above all having learned all the others first. He's a PhD in history: he's not impressed if a person who comes here thinking they have an idea contrasts with his, he's very beyond these issues. Actually, legitimately, he has learned to give a damn completely because he has better things to do. This boy has mastered Clausewitzian theory, written and published thousands of pages, spends his life studying, traveling and learning and has a strong sense of order, discipline and control. He is in charge here and it is illusory to try to place oneself above his expertise. The only way to interact with this channel is to become regimented in obedience to authority, hierarchy and order and to abandon any illusions of understanding anything Schwerpunkt has to offer without doing a huge intellectual work, which in most cases will not even be sufficient. It is a channel for the elites: the others can stay out.

  14. I had never listened to a lesson that could so powerfully immortalize the grandeur of Medieval French military might. Excellent work

  15. It's insane how much civilization output Rome has always kept pouring. A real city you can walk today in the most accessible and easy way that offers you this insane range of macroscopic history and cultural heritage at every single step. Half of the world doesn't even compare and I'm doubtful about the rest

  16. I love this series on the European historical regions

  17. The funniest thing is to see that those who criticize this video by saying that the Byzantines are Romans are the same people who do not realize that the video says exactly that the Byzantines are Romans: it is the paradox of mass under-schooling and it was time that a channel like this expert in Byzantine history how Schwerpunkt began to discipline the common people

  18. I had never realized how all the Papal attributes (Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic) are the SAME and explicit continuity of Roman/Indo-European Imperium. This channel is pure European Tradition, thank you so much

  19. This channel digs exactly into that type of ancien regime mystical, bloody, golden universal meaning and value that makes politics, war and society all clearer to the audience. Brilliant, you created a true library of ecumenical knowledge that no channel will ever be able to afford. Top quality

  20. Let's share en masse, people don't even know he's out there

  23. Damn. You really know your deal. This channel has by far the best Roman history content, even though you're just a "modest" medievalist, as you say...!

  24. This channel is a masterpiece of military historical erudition

  25. You're the only channel creating a specifically and accurately historical atmosphere around your content: topics, images, comments are part of an all-encompassing and yet pertinent meaning given to the local events. It's as if one could make a journey through time and space just by browsing through your playlists, amazing

  31. How amazing that we have a channel where a PhD sits down and makes such in-depth analyses on major historical topics, plus adding a workload treasure to it all. Schwerpunkt was always wonderful but by now its library has become really incredible

  32. Before listening to your history lessons, I had no idea what the Middle Ages were. No one had ever explained it to me and really made it clear to me: your content is simply unique, I've never found anything like it on youtube and I still don't understand why you have so few subscribers

  33. I agree but it should be shared, fast. The algorithm looks hopelessly flat, people don't even know he's out there

  34. More of this!

  35. There's an issue with YouTube

  36. No other channel. No better channel

  37. The anti-Semitic followers' anecdotes you report really are terrifying: and yes, I think it's insane that with all the actual peoples, religions, etc. hating and killing others, people mass-distract themselves with such conspiracy theory to actually bail out of the God-given Imperium. It's a story of malaise and failure in self-actualization.

  38. Thank you Schwer

  39. You're the only channel covering steppes warfare in actual detail: the only ones who address the subject invest in the post-Traditional ethno-nationalist fetish and/or channels stealing copyrighted images of cataphracts click-bait. Without mentioning that barely anyone even knows who the Yuezhi and the Kushans were and what role they had in Indo-European history.
