  8. when it comes to technology some old people really don't seem to use the internet at all so when i mention things that are very popular among people under 40 they are all like huh what is a podcast ? and i say oh its like a talk show but on the internet instead of the radio so everyone can have their own show. but they still don't get it and act like i am speaking another language but younger people also have the problem of not having much to say.

  9. this is what happens when you quickly enter the uk for medical reasons its a great risk going to the uk now. he should have gone to a safe country like Vietnam or Gabon or Serbia

  10. I always wondered if such things existed in the early days of phones .even in the 1990s i thought it could have been useful since with radio you didn't have a lot of channels unless you count shortwave. but the sound quality of phone lines was quite bad and normal phone lines could only do 2 way communication. so you needed a separate cable and phone number for every user .

  11. Well to be fair FGM is worse because it gets rid of the pleasure.
    3
  12. i knew you were far left when you were young in the 1970s but even in the 2010s?

  13. Yea look at how crazy Scotland and wales have become.
    3
  14. This was common knowledge just 20 or even 10 years ago but now they want people to think only one group of people got enslaved slavery was everywhere we need to accept that and move on.
    3
  15. it would be nice if they actually cared about our arguments and facts but they just ignore it.

  16. Yea this vairant could be the end of this pandemic but the gov will not stop the rules for years after its over.

  17. Marx died before Orwell was even born and Orwell would have never written his iconic books if marx didn't exist

  18. Yea i noticed this i am learning many languages as a hobby including African languages and i noticed people from Somalia and Nigeria have a lot more interesting things to say than people from south Africa or Zimbabwe Zulu speaking people only want to talk about magic and religion people in Nigeria are also super religious but they have more things to say that don't involve it.

  19. zuru

  21.  @tc5273  Europe was not very advanced before the renaissance we did not start out as advanced people the romans considered the Ethiopians and Nubians as more advanced than the Celts and Germanic people.

  26. its mostly about iq

  27. European museums are already destroying a lot of historic artefacts made of ivory they would be safer in Africa these days.

  28. He is quite biased when it comes to this issue he said he used to live there in the 1970s.

  29.  @nickkorkodylas5005  More like 6000

  30. i don't know i have had comments deleted on topics like this and random hobby related videos almost as much as on political stuff
    2
  31. Even 10 years ago.

  32. here in Belgium we know got the wolves back and a lot of wild boards cool but a little unfortunate because i used to feel very safe in the woods the only big animals that were around were deer that runaway in panic when they see you .nowadays the woods are still safer than a city but you do have to watch out a little bit in Germany even bears have started showing up again in places were they haven't been for centuries. i hope they never come to Belgium they are very tough and attack people unprovoked at least with wolves and wild boars they are hesitant to attack humans since humans can fight back unarmed even if that is a bad idea. but a bear is pretty much invincible against an unarmed human its like me vs a chicken
    2
  33. this seems like a very bad time period to try this compared to the past. they could have done this in 1987 or 1998 or 2010 and nobody in the west would have cared .
    2
  34. Don't be racist be a realist.
    2
  35. Yea i hope this is a sign of the end of the pandemic.
    2
  36. And in Belgium we are also running out of Electricity because of the messed up green polices like replacing nuclear energy with gas plants while gas is becoming super expensive and not environmentally friendly at all compared to nuclear and Germany is doing the same crap right now France is the only one in western Europe that still makes sense but i have a feeling they will mess up too .
    2
  37. That is a good thing we should have that here.
    2
  38. You are a legit old schooler. all youtubers where like this 15 years ago before they found ways to get people to donate money to people who don't need it. i guess to someone of your age 15 years feels like 15 minutes to me .but this is a case when not trying to be trendy and hip is a good thing .
    2
  39. The uk is a authoritarian country.
    2
  40. Not saying its not bad when this happens in other countries but England is one of the last places i would expect this to happen. with how wide spread the English language is you would think they would learn it quickly even if they don't want to. if this can happen in England it can happen everywhere .
    2
  41. seems like the more you go south the worse it gets. south Africa and Botswana and Namibia seem better than the rest of Africa. but i think its because they are more westernised ( because they couldn't fight back well) and they got lucky and avoided communism. i think that in the more distant future places like Senegal and Ethiopia will catch up while countries further south will stagnate. i am trying to learn African languages and in order to learn a language you got to use. it but trying to watch content in zulu is very boring its always either about religion or sports. in languages like Somali or Wolof (language spoken in Senegal) i can find more interesting things like videos about history languages from central Africa are somewhere in between.
    2
  42. the uk politicians are the main ones to blame its not a problem for poland and they are still in the eu
    2
  43. Well you are kind of right but its the best if every group gets its own country with its own ideas and culture and laws and these countries are friendly and trade with each other and learn from each other its not good to cram everyone into one country because then you will get less diversity of ideas.
    2
  44. You are so old its interesting to find things you said decades ago just because you said them in in an era before i was born. and i want to know what peoples opinions where back in the 80s 70s 60s before the rise of the internet .it was rare to hear what the average person thought about current events.
    2
  45.  @harry.flashman  Yea i still remember the end of the 90s very fun and simple. but in my country immigration already started in the 1960s and slowly got more and more. i think in the 90s one in 10 kids in my school where foreign. now its like 25% of the population. but even my parents claim there where many foreign people in their era when they where growing up. they lived closer to the city centre. when my grandparents where young there where a few people from other European countries here like Italians including my great grandparents. but nobody who was not from Europe. also while you are older than me your not as old as Simon who was already an adult in the 1970s and remembers much more .and people's opinions change over the years

  46. Greece has more sunshine than were i live. not only is it often very cloudy but there are a bunch of trees around my home making sure that i need to turn on the lights. even in the middle of the day
    2
  47. My biggest criticism of you is that your mic is too quiet and i have a hard time hearing you.
    2
  48. There are a lot of countries that are now better than America in most ways. but the problem is the ones with the most powerful armies all have serious flaws like china and Russia. India is less bad but still quite flawed. i like japan or Poland or south Korea .but they are probably going to get sabotaged by these bigger countries that still old a grudge over things that happened a very long time ago
    2
  49. I would never deny it but i still think its bad that its illegal because people can be arrested over jokes or if they are confused.

  50. They invented coffee in the medieval period.
    2
  51.  @golden.lights.twinkle2329  But they are white.

  53. They think that if Russia takes over the uk all of their problems will go away lol.
    2
  54. Sorry you are wrong there was civilization in some parts of Africa like Ethiopia Somalia parts of west Africa but they fell behind Europe in the early modern period and there was no civilization in the more southern parts of Africa.
    2
  55.  @tc5273  Ethiopia is sub Saharan i did not say all of Africa was advanced but there was some civilization they where not all hunter gatherers and even if they did not make much in 1000s of years it also took the rest of the world 10000s of years of living like hunter gathers before they became civilized civilization is not really a natural thing for humans.
    2
  56.  @Ysf4000  west Africans also accomplished much.
    2
  57. i personally like all ages over 20 older people are interesting because they know more about recent history and have a lot of experience and better tastes in musi.c but a lot of old people don't understand more modern things like the internet and video games and have narrow interests like only caring about football or knitting. but the same can be said about some young people who only care about Minecraft. the upside of young people is that when i mention things i see online they actually know what i am talking about and have more energy but some also have very narrow interests and they usually have bad taste in music .
    2
  58. You are too popular you will always get haters when there are 1000s of commenters.

  60. i was born in the 90s i started walking to school at 12 i went to shops since i was 6 but the school was quite far. i originally had to take the bus but i found a hidden path in the woods that made it faster to walk i also got into gambling when i was 5 but stopped when i was 6 because i wasn't winning anything .
    2
  61. I don't make a fuss about race but i do make a fuss about iq.
    1
  62. its not the easiest but it could be worse i think Indonesian or Swahili is easier but their cultures are quite boring. i am bad at these languages because i get bored watching videos from those countries. and if you are from western Europe English is still easier but not if you are from other parts of the world .
    1
  63. Yea even 10 years ago it was perfectly ok.
    1
  64. i am white and i go outside every day but i still lack vitamin d because i usually only go outside when the sun is starting to go down between 20 minutes to 2 hours before its down depending on the season and weather and what i had to do .and i used to only walk when it was dark between age 18 and 23 you really need to be outside all day

  69. South Africa is a lot better than Zimbabwe.

  70.  @kanderson4417  Zimbabwe became a dictatorship instantly Mandela fortunately had abandoned communism by the time he got out of jail so south africa remained more free.
    1
  71.  @kanderson4417  because the same party keeps winning elections.

  72. The huns

  73. A lot of African native American and oceanic cultures did contribute things to the modern world but clearly not as much.
    1
  74. Well humans originated there but if you take away any continent evolution would have gone differently and humans would not exist and earth may as well be a alien planet with creatures that don't exist in our reality.
    1
  75. They are erasing black people from history how racist.
    1
  76.  @vivaldesque  Yea but they had a few decades of communism now the country is democratic and getting better same with most African countries maybe if they keep it up they can become a true first world country in the distant future.
    1
  77. Yea i can see that happening one day i already notice so many languages around me i used to only hear English and my native language and maybe French and German now there are so many languages i am exposed to every day its hard to keep track and impossible to learn them all.
    1
  78.  @russellsharpe288  The biggest 3 languages in Nigeria are Hausa Yoruba and Igbo they currently have a lot of speakers but not as many as some of the bigger languages in the world but the population is growing very fast 100 years from now they will be some of the biggest languages in the world. its actually hard to find out how many people actually speak those languages one source says 30 million for Hausa another one says over 60 million also i noticed Nigerians on YouTube do this thing where they have an English title for the video but the videos itself is not in English or only half of it is in pidgin English the other half in a pure Nigerian language.

  79. they will stop mass immigration by making the uk one of the poorest most dangerous countries in the world

  80. At least it will be better than if it was owned by most modern British or west european millionaires

  81. interesting i am still young but i think i have learned a lot in the last few years so at this rate i will be a genius when i am your age. but i noticed some old people just refuse to lean new things and adapt to the modern world and are easy to manipulate. like there is this youtuber that i started watching 15 years ago who was about the same age i am now when he started YouTube (28) and now he is in his 40s but this guy has really fallen from grace .he has become very woke because he gets all his info from the tv and got manipulated into doing dumb things by sketchy people who are often even older than him. in his older videos he seemed much more intelligent he also hates on everything new like back in the 2000s he used all the latest slang and so on but now he actually gets angry when he hears modern slang. but his videos are about collecting old computers and other items from the 80s so his mindset probably more dated than most people of his age. i also see a lot of older people who can't use a computer at all even things like getting on YouTube is way too complicated for them it is really annoying having to explain things to them only for them to forget it .and these people were often considered very smart when they were young .my grandpa was like this he could repair most analogue electronics like tv's and vcr's but using windows is too complicated for him for some reason .and another strange thing i noticed with my dad is that he keeps buying the same newspaper and then gets mad because it has become very woke and low quality .but still buys it out of habit because it was the best newspaper 40 years ago i really don't want to end up like this i am on the right track right now.

  86. Cool when i grew up 20ish years ago they always told me knifes are dangerous and not a toy.

  87. Interesting my country (Belgium) was already quite diverse by then.

  88.  @HuHWhat-yi8cp  Not always but at least since the 1970s
    1
  89. Yea the first homo sapiens in Europe came 60.000 years ago. but we also have a lot of Neanderthal dna you we can trace part of our lineage in Europe for over 1 million years starting with homo erectus. Australia and the Americas where uninhabited before the first homo sapiens came.

  90. Meanwhile European museums are destroying artefacts because they are made of ivory.

  91. will she at least have the average Nigerian opinion about a certain issue in the uk ? probably not she spend a big part of her childhood in America so she has toxic polices from both countries

  93. I wish i was black.

  94. Does anyone else have this issue i look up certain historical topics but i only find a lot of irrelevant Indian stuff.
    1
  95.  @skadiwarrior2053  Its democratic but it has issues a lot of African countries are democratic there are more democracy's in Africa than in Asia but people think it does not count because there is poverty.

  98. they will be very angry about this

  99. Unfortunately no

  100. I think they won because they look different from the locals and stand out. i am sure a lot of Zimbabweans were genuinely attracted to the white woman and the Irish were attracted to the black woman because she just looks different from most women in the country .even i as a man get way more attention from women from other countries than i do in my own country.

  101. irish moment

  102. since they have no competition they don't put in any effort in bug testing its hard to tell what is a glitch and what is not since they never communicate with the users when comments started disappearing i thought it was just a glitch and it would be fixed soon .but it has been over a year and clearly intentional but sometimes the deleting of comments becomes so bad you can't post anything but that gets fixed after a few hours but i wouldn't be surprised if youtube one day removes the comment section completely since its not considered essential daly motion already did that . i didn't really see the point of a comment section when i first started using youtube i think there are still a lot of people with this view today .but i love the youtube comments because on forums there is no room for off topic talk so you feel very restricted even on platforms that are considered edgy

  103. And water is wet.

  104. the uk is doomed

  105. i don't know what the 1960s were like but i noticed people started saying the same thing about the 1990s and that really wasn't true plenty of obesity in the 90s .
    1
  106. my naïve mind just thinks they reuse the same pictures for every region so they need to keep it diverse .

  107. In Ohio apparently at least the east of it .

  108. I stopped watching in 2011 and i would have stopped in 2006 but my internet was not reliable yet.

  109. no world war over this its just another vietnam like situation
    1
  110. the Sumerians and other bronze age civilizations probably had something similar its not that high tech .

  111. That is why i am not worried about overpopulation.

  112. there are also a lot of Christians from Congo and Uganda among them

  114.  @Jen-mf9rm  Cantonese is dying its not even in the top 10 anymore but you will even get more use out of very small languages like Hungarian because most Cantonese people are all bi lingual and they are being censored

  115. Maybe 1000 years from now.

  116. You need to be smart to now if something online is true or not most people can't handle it unfortunately. i think i was one of the last people who remembers trying to learn things before the internet.

  117. The Sami are just Finns who rejected Christianity.

  123. Thats right

  124. even some birds like parrots and crows can count and do very basic maths like 2+2
    1
  125. maybe they would have a point when talking about India and the Netherlands were they use pointless corporate English to appear more smug or when a Korean movie comes out here but we only get the worse English version .while we could just watch the Korean version with subtitles instead or when people don't want to learn other languages apart from English and then get in trouble when they run into people who only speak French or other languages. but if we are talking about England it makes no sense since that is the place were English originated and it has been spoken there for almost 1500 years and started out as just another minor European language with no more speakers than welsh or Dutch. before that time they spoke extinct Celtic languages and before the Celts came they spoke unknown languages that aren't even recorded in history.
    1
  126. Well welsh and Scottish nationalism is probably only tolerated because it has been taken over by some weird far left nonsense.
    1
  127. This is like operation condor in the 1970s but with the roles changed .now its Russia creating puppet dictatorships in Africa instead of America doing it in south America

  128. I used to confuse him with Mosley
    1
  129. Don't these people have survival instinct ? i would never do this to myself .this is a little bit unrelated but i was thinking about anorexia how could someone do that to themselves even if i tried to do that my instinct would just kick in and i will eat anything i can and close control.

  135. It is over for the uk.
    1
  136. yea it happens every few years
    1
  137. people born 1975 to 2000 had the best childhood the way i understand the past was that basically the parents could do whatever they wanted .so this was good if you had good parents and bad if you had bad parents. nowadays things are better if you have bad parents since they are more likely to be stopped but if you got good parents they will be limited in what they can teach and do to solve problems. i think, most people who say the boomers had a good time are American in mainland Europe and to a lesser extent in the uk there was still damage from ww2 that had to be fixed. and in some countries you had less rights and freedoms because the church was still powerful and other reasons. in some countries like Ireland or Portugal things were really bad until later on.

  138. Coffee.

  139. They have already destroyed a lot of ivory objects maybe its time to bring them back to Africa before "we" do something dumb.
    1
  140. Simon knows the truth about the 1960s i always think it is a mysterious time because while its nit that log ago it was just before the rise of affordable vcr's and cameras with sound it existed but it was too big and expensive so you don't have a lot of footage from ordinary life back then .sometimes it seems relatively modern but other times it seems hard to tell what century the footage is from i know way more about the 70s and 80s because there is just more footage .i noticed people are already idealising the 90s and 2000s and imaging a version of it where everyone had the latest technology and there were no dumb ideas all the issues from the earlier decades had vanished. so i imagine that my view of the 1960s is quite wrong too

  141. i am sure almost 80% supports team green now i don't hear much positive about team blue these days

  142. yea but that region only became part of china later on the eastern part was the real china

  143. Australia is too sparsely populated 25 million people in a country the size of a continent why are they not reproducing i have even seen Australians online worried about over population and they say they don't want any kids because of that LOL.

  144.  @clonie9963  That is almost a quarter of the population in most European countries its still around 5%

  145. This is why i don't like monarchism.

  146. i used to think Russia wasn't doing this but recently it seems like people are really loving Putin and some are even pro china and north Korea too despite calming to be right wing i think you an tell if someone is working for putin if their main focus is complaining about nato and Ukraine and acting like nato is the eu because this is the stuff russia cares about .but russia doesn't really care about things like migration and bad hate speech laws and other regional issues that only affect the west .some channels have really gone all in on focusing on nato .some people are also just naïve and think Russia is like the other eastern European countries but bigger and don't listen to what Putin says. i have been studying Russian for a few years and i came to the conclusion that Putin has bad intentions like compare tucker Carlson's interview with Putin vs his interview with orban orban understands and likes the west .but Putin was just arrogant and elitist

  147. If you look at media from the 80s south Africa was really seen as one of the most evil countries in the world at the time.
    1
  148. yea just compare Canada with Hungary the eu has flaws but also advantages. i think Brexit was actually great for countries that are still in the eu because the uk has a lot of authoritarian politicians supporting things like article 13 .this is a very unpopular opinion but i hope more Balkan and Caucasus countries and Ukraine join the eu while Norway and Iceland shouldn't join and hopefully Ireland and Sweden leaves too

  149. Should America get reconquered the uk or should the uk get reconquered by France or Russia by Mongolia or what ever country you are from.

  150. Making the country neutered.

  151.  @tc5273  Its because Africa was more isolated from the world so when something was invented in one part of the world it does not reach Africa the same reason there was no civilization in America and Australia Eurasia was well connected.
    1
  152.  @tc5273  The Incas and Mayas where not very advanced they did not even have bronze even most of the African cultures had discovered iron even those that where more tribal but for some reason they made bigger buildings than the Africans.
    1
  153. Um you know how long it took Europeans and Asians to figure it out. at least 40.000 years until we discovered the wheel. if you took some stone age Europeans and put them on another continent that was uninhabited how far do you think they would have gotten by now?

  154. Just let them eat potatoes or fish.

  161. It depends a lot of parts of eastern Europe were doing badly in the 1800s like Russia and the Balkan. but i think back then central Europe was more of a separate thing these days central Europe is only a geographic thing .because the difference between countries like Austria and Hungary are too big and Hungary has more in common with countries to the east and austria has more in common with the west. but before ww2 you had powerful countries in central Europe doing their own thing like Austria or the Prussians.
