Youtube comments of Archer Byrne (@archerbyrne8103).

  1. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in in-depth Anglo-Saxon history I hotly recommend Schwerpunkt's dedicated playlist
    39
  2. Thank you for pointing out that child abuse is actually higher in Protestant churches. It's somehow impressive how people stick to it while studying actual Catholic history or knowing what even just the term means in the first place. You're a highly educated person

  3. Thank you for sharing that. It is widely known that the Italian population has largely remained unchanged since pre-Roman times, with fair hair and light eyes being commonly found among natives with only a small contribution from later invasions. Unfortunately, many people, especially from the US, have been influenced by self-referential racial stereotypes and inadequate education or parenting, leading them to erroneously believe that Italians are invariably dark. This misconception is consistently perpetuated in various pseudo-historical reconstructions throughout all the media from generations. I appreciate your inclusion of primary and original Roman sources that openly refer to the blondness among Italic and Latin individuals, as well as highlighting the difference between proper education and amateurism.

  4. Priceless. For nationalists and socialists who have not gone beyond the first half hour for offended feelings, this is one of the most complete and pertinent debunkments of a poorly written communist professors' essay that Schwerpunkt corrects at every single step with theological, mythological, artistic, literary, archaeological, political, military, social etc . evidence. Just for the lazy who do not understand, if you do not listen to the whole video it is useless for you to even start listening: this is what Schwerpunkt is used to in a university class
    21
  5. If anyone's interested in Anglo-Saxon England and in the debunking of the "Dark Age" concept I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
    19
  6. I've never seen so much high quality content
    14
  7. And of course Schwerpunkt makes the most complete YouTube video on the kingdom of Essex. Thanks chap!
    12
  8. This is the only channel treating in actual detail and competently history at an academic level. All the rest is nothing
    12
  9. This channel is on a level of culture and education that is simply beyond any other form of historical communication I have ever seen
    12
  10. Your channel is Europe at her best I see
    11
  11. Thank you for this. Do you have by chance anything on Siena?
    11
  12. This channel is the embodiment of the highest European culture. If only most people had the education to understand the quality of a video like this we would live in a much better world
    11
  13. For anyone who stumbled accidentally on this channel: this kid is a Ph.D. in Medieval history who has uploaded over 1,000 videos of thoroughly researched, insightful and mind-opening mostly about the universal religious-military cult of pre-modern/secular societies. Help him grow because this content is going to break the mold
    10
  14. You're a highly cultured person
    9
  15. It is astonishing that Italy maintained its position as the center of Europe throughout the Middle Ages, yet modern historiography has chosen to overlook this fact intentionally
    9
  16. Schwerpunkt has a pretty hefty playlist about Medieval society that deals somewhat thoroughly also with the English commoners
    9
  17. You are the only serious, intelligent, and critically historical channel remaining on the platform. The average person doesn't even grasp the foundational concepts of the history you elucidate
    8
  18. This channel is pure culture
    8
  19. Let's mobilize en masse to share the content
    8
  20. Brilliant
    7
  21. Precious 3rd century history content
    7
  22. Why did no one teach me such things in school?
    7
  23. I've never seen more beautiful pictures
    7
  24. Deeply impacting. European history at its prime
    7
  25. The most solid military historical expertise on youtube
    6
  26. The world should learn a lot about the Italic peoples. Not knowing about them means to be culturally ignorant
    6
  27. Very informative
    6
  28. The world outside the West is pure obscurity. Thank you for pointing it out. I'm very impressed when I realize that a person outside of it can barely talk or stick to any standard
    6
  29. Finally!
    6
  30. This channel has the top military historical expertise on youtube hands down
    6
  31. Great video
    6
  32. This video goes perfectly together with your recent analyses about Hugh of Provence and Ottonian Italy. I've never listened to a more competent content about 10th century Europe
    6
  33. Your Christian history videos are the finest
    6
  34. Solid ecclesiastic history
    5
  35. Thanks Rome
    5
  36. True European history. No other way to describe it
    5
  37. Finally an actually historically researched content and not the usual 10 minutes video with animated boxes crashing into each other
    5
  38. I love how when it gets to Northern European regional history it's just landscapes :D The more I get into Medieval history and the more I realized how disproportionately overly-represented the North is in pop culture in relation to civilization accomplishment
    5
  39. Fantastic
    5
  40. I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's Tudor naval strategy video as a further background/integration
    5
  41. The best channel explaining the cultural inferiority of Communism and the countries that allowed it to happen
    5
  42. No channel better than this
    5
  43. What I love most about this channel is that it is literally infinite. It is practically impossible for a person to finish listening to everything, studying it, understanding it thoroughly. Sometimes I listen to the videos a couple of times and there's a lot of things that I didn't notice at the beginning and I understand how they relate to topics you've already covered and how it all fits together. An extraordinary job
    5
  44. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in Tudor warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's relative playlist
    5
  45. This channel is the military historical finest
    5
  46. Christian history videos are the best
    4
  47. Schwerpunkt has a Celtic warfare playlist I'm sure
    4
  48. Excellent content. Only for the absolute elite
    4
  49. You don't learn much about these topics from school. Your videos on early medieval Germany cleared a fog about the German political mechanisms that I had never known before. Thanks for this concrete and precious work
    4
  50. The role of the laboratores in Tradition is underrated, I'm glad you're covering it.
    4
  51. Thank you. Browsing your playlists is an endless discovery
    4
  52. Beautiful, accurate pictures. I'm always impressed by how historically and pictorially precise you've always been
    4
  53. I like how you highlight the possibility of failure for each beach, as well as the underrated relevance of Sword. Beautiful photo collection by the way
    4
  54. Your expertise is utterly insane
    4
  55. Stern but fair. The human factor is dominated by extremely unstable variables which, especially in the case of war, come from dimensions that are almost entirely beyond technical data and pertain to the collective sphere. This is not fully understood in the context of historical "reconstructions", especially at the level of mass disclosure. In short, a duel is not an engineering thing
    4
  56. Remarkably informed content. Your military historical content is really at another level
    4
  57. Brilliant
    4
  58. Legendary channel
    4
  59. Priceless content
    4
  60. Superb. I wonder how many people are taught in school about this
    4
  61. Brutal. Love it
    4
  62. Seriously though: he's criminally underappreciated. I wonder if the algorithm can be unlocked or something. This is really top quality stuff, it deserves overwhelmingly more than any history channel I've ever watched
    4
  63. Never heard anyone treating Medieval English history so in-depth. Great content, love the Malleus
    4
  64. I'm always impressed by the amazing detail and analysis you include in your work. While most channels just show off weapons in a flashy way, you really explore the military significance of these troops by looking at their moral, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Your insights into operations and supply systems are also excellent
    3
  65. I adore how, even being a Medievalist, you create the most exceptional Late Antique content on the platform
    3
  66. Schwerpunkt's always been purely top notch expertise and most people still cannot afford to accept he exists
    3
  67. The greatness of Romanity. Incredible video
    3
  68. The deep veins of Roman culture. Rarely have I heard such a solid and well explained story. Thanks for this content
    3
  69. Infinitely valuable content. ACTUAL Celtic military history without the 19th-20th century under-schooled fourth estaters' mass mental victim delusion pretending the Celts being some "saviours" of Europe against the "terrible" Roman civilization. I also never saw such a collective sense of cognitive dissonance towards a single people due to basic lack of historical awareness and failure of one's individual accomplishment. The paranoid-emarginated-selfcontradictory-passive aggressive rhetoric of the Celts being some losing naturalistic spiritual martyr but at the same the allegedly military capable and superior to any other inexplicably overrun with at best mediocre results, which completely fails to understand not just the religious meaning of the Traditional Empire upheld by the Celts themselves but also basic human intelligence and personal dignity.

  70. What I like best about this channel: 1) the accuracy of the historical judgment; 2) the expertise even in less "popular" historical fields 3) the author's personal discretion in a world of exhibitionists
    3
  71. Glad to see that Schwerpunkt's ranks are thickening. We must do more: let's share everywhere
    3
  72. Excellent delivery. The only channel on YouTube that forces inadequate people to study in order to improve themselves through ACTUAL Medieval historical expertise. Sadly enough most of them click on it for 19th century ethno-nationalistic reasons instead of getting the immense meaning of this channel purely based on the Traditional European Empire. Keep rocking!

  73. I greatly admire how this channel perfectly captures the absolutely catastrophic and failed nature of the revolts led by the Fourth Estate during the 14th-16th centuries. From the Jacquerie to the Hussites, from the Ciompi to the German Peasants' Revolt, these uprisings mercilessly exposed the incompetence and futility of these movements. It is truly embarrassing that there are still individuals who refuse to acknowledge this complete collapse, perhaps because they cling to the notion of people's significance. However, it is crucial to recognize that these revolts marked the foundational moment of the long-standing Ancien Regime order across Europe, firmly establishing the domination over the incapable and worthless in society
    3
  74. Thanks for properly criticizing the historically illiterate mentality that wants the longbow to have won the battles of the HYW. This is the difference between a PhD in Medieval warfare with a strategic culture and a gravely under-educated charlatan with a HEMA school.
    3
  75. Finally a channel that teaches Celtic history correctly in function of Roman civilization. I can't believe how many paranoid kids exist today who have to make up a classicist conspiracy theory to avoid facing their own personal misery
    3
  76. Great video. This is really quality material
    3
  77. I love how the world is obsessed with Germany and Germanism, while this channel tells the actual history without embellishment. A true testament to the quality of scientific culture
    3
  78. Simply the top Medieval history channel on You Tube
    3
  79. It's amazing how many things you know. I've never heard anyone who deals with this period tell these anecdotes and can put them into perspective to the overall story
    2
  80. Never seen a history channel with a greater scientific, moral and historical integrity. Top research, content and analysis
    2
  81. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's very (very) keen on Medieval British history I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series
    2
  82. Incomparably superior to K&G, Armchair and Invicta
    2
  83. Thank God for Rome
    2
  84. I've never seen so much historical competence in a single channel
    2
  85. I'm shocked by the size of your Medieval French history playlist
    2
  86. It's amazing how many videos you've created about Germanic history and warfare! This video serves as a highlight for your channel and is a great starting point for exploring your content on the topic
    2
  87. Let's share en masse!
    2
  88. A pearl of military historical erudition
    2
  89. It's incredible how there are still people out there claiming that you don't cite sources while you've always done it. Another proof of the envy this channel academic standards triggers in a world of "simplified history"
    1
  90. Incomparably superior to K&G, Armchair and Invicta
    1
  91. The only channel proving and not claiming historical expertise
    1
  92. Way beyond anything the bigger channels must pretend to be accurately researched history. Top of the top
    1
  93. Love this content. By the way, I'm appreciating here and there your traveling anecdotes: you've been to an impressive number of places. This makes it all more interesting
    1
  94. Excellent content

  95.  @emiliascholer9047  What strikes me the most in general, beyond the sheer theological, political and moral issues of the Reformation, how many people especially from the lower classes are systematically trained to hate, offend and vilify the Catholic Church without any historical-religious education or cultural literacy/background on the topic whatsoever. It's a peak of post-Traditional, actually atheistic (look which countries abandoned Christianity altogether and what confession they were before that) anti-standard hatred for the failure in their personal accomplishment. It was this always since ever: we trained billions of people that they shouldn't worry to be human and this is the result. It would be obvious for the lesser to take this literally to avoid confronting with any value and hating anything that remembers them that no matter how they hurry the Truth is faster than them
    1
  96. On the topic I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's feudal warfare research
    1
  97. Incomparably superior to K&G, Armchair and Invicta

  98. What a beautiful picture, Schwerpunkt!
