  2. As a member of GEN Z living in Appalachian Ohio I can tell you my region is probably falling into Internet libertarianism which my generation doesn't even realize how different that is from our parents.

  3. Are we just going to ignore everything else he got right LIKE FOR REAL he predicted everything from east asias population stagnation, dance raves, Islamic terrorism, the collapse of the soviet yunyun, the American rustbelt, ETC. He was a genius.

  5. Just like what phonesia did with carthage Or arguably china with japan Does a overseas tributary count as a colony? It was a overseas posetion which sole reason of exsisting was resource extraction only in that case monetary resources.

  9. Can't wait for him to say "blacks outside of cities" Oh wait he did in this video now all we need to do is take his quote about "Egyptians being easy to oppress" AND WALLAH we made a quote that is going to make it so HE WILL NEVER BE ELECTED.

  10. As a American I have to say the canadian confederacy would fit into america better than the american confederacy has.

  11. Stability in this era is like a house of cards just like our own. It can all hit the fan withen a year or 2 If you think 2020 is bad for the disease just look at what happened in the saHELL this year.

  12. If its status quo it wouldn't be in decline just stagnating. I guess you could say declining in comparison to the rest of the world but still I don't think you can deny the US is on decline on some level. Weather cultural,militarily,socially,morally,etc theres a argument for all of them I doubt you belive in more than one but you've probably heard all off them.

  13. Probably due to him not being sure what effects it would have on ocean currents This easily could mean the austronesians dont colonise at all or they manage to colonise the future inca empire. Plus Im not even sure the austronesians would have the time to get off of taiwan before Sinozisation hits since well strait of tiwan opening up.

  14. Obomi That must be dahomi Wait is it Dah homi either way must be from Dahomi.

  15. Africa is to diverse for a single video I would instead expect a seperate video for swahili civ, sahel civ, ethiopian/horn african civ, and possibly a north african section to his islamic civ video.

  16. I often worry about how far the zoomers corrections to boomer actions would be and how much of a over correction my generation will make. My generation will have alot of cleanup to do and considering those with gaurd rails are so nhilistic to the point of not participating will leave the cleanup and repair to those who are so arogant to think they can do anything which they cant. I doubt theres any way this situation lasts but I still worry

  17. That is more massive sphere of infuence What really was more of a colony was what happened with hawaii at first before integreating it and 100% the philipeans.

  18. Whatifalthist explaining Why is Latin America poor hey hey, i've seen this one i've seen this one this is a classic.

  19.  @briaormead4239  it more or less is since they are the last remains of the old Russian empire which called itself 3rd Rome they are the last surviving piece of 3rd Rome.

  20. As somone whos lived in diffrent parts of ohio my whole life even if its only 17 years. Ive seen slow patching up of wholes at the cost of increased jade, cynicism, and corruption at least in Central Ohio. We know of our old problems but are willing to sacrifice far to much to solve them, for exsample a city council near where I lived johnstown oh had a corruption scandal of bribery and "a few housing relocations" to bring a intel plant there which caused alot of local chaos simply to stop the new albany brain drain. The same thing happened in dublin Marysville. And Columbus Heroin deaths still are the bud of jokes.

  21.  @00fgytduydrtu  no Not individualism but rather fanaticism theres a huge diffrence.
    38
  22. Funny how everyone seems to think we will skip unstable "years of lead phase" and expects it to go from street level battles like battle of berkley to 2nd Acw.
    37
  23. the people who like to watch the world burn :)
    35
  24. Honestly when someone puts it in lenses like that I trust them They might not be correct but I understand there not trying to fear monger and they are coming from a decently large worldview.
    34
  25.  @AfroAsiaticLanguages  chile Is sure as hell going to disapoint you this next decade.
    32
  26. Wait Denmark exists I though it was a conspiracy theory between ISP and bokoven 1 to get meme atention
    31
  27.  @crusty_cookie3099  don't you mean the Russian SSR? Also the mongols did as well
    30
  28. Actually going more in depth on a topic you brought up so many times in your videos for more context improving all those previous episodes. I envy your willingness to backtrack and Im jellous of your dedication to your work.
    29
  29.  @briaormead4239  yeah I mean how long before Tunisia claims to be 8th Rome.

  30. Peak americana.

  34. Reminds me of one I had who said No amont of political fanaticism can change the fact years of lead lay ahead. This was back in 2015 before even the battle of berkeley. I laughed him off then Later I asked how did you guess he simply said it was coming up on the 50th anniversary of the year that shook america and around every 20 or 70 theres something that involved lead flying.
    23
  35. Globalization Rich folks can make money in France,China,Ethiopia,etc basically the hole connected world. Meanwhile your stuck suffering in your own country with no exits to make money abroad.
    22
  36. Its proper for a reason.
    20
  37. I was fighting with pessimism then I realized Even if years of lead lay ahead don't let that poison your present.

  38.  @kamikaze5528  mad aint perfect although yes its the best solution so far. For one mutually assured destruction relies on responsibility with those involved. Not to mention mad just makes powers wait for civil conflict in there enemy and swoop in when said enemy is down.

  39.  @MrCrunch808  . . . Tell that to the Russians and Canadians oh and argentine and chilean pategonians. Also for all we know the increase in water evaporation from a warmer climate could result in a green sahara yes thats a real theory. What will it kill coasts,the outback,small islands,tropics,etc.

  40. Ah yes the closest we will even get to whatifalthist making a refrence to the empire of man from warhammer 40k A video on rome.

  41. France wanting revenge for 1798 and 1956.

  42. My dad is from new orleans and Ive vistied quite a few times the gulf coast of louisiana has a weird thing where french are viewed as super cool and in some ways the social elites there "french quarter" of the city is the wealthiest as well but it still is far more southern with huge southern influence compaired to the rest of cajun area. Id personally consider it a grey area with still alot of southern influence but still a tiny bit of cajun influence.

  43. Aged like milk Somalia isnt even starving as bad as 2011
    16
  44. Let me guess your from Java Thats probably the safest part of the country in his senario. Papua or Borneo theres probably gona be instability.
    16
  45.  @lewisbean4250  he doesnt Thats what he called the LATE ottomans Hes said quite a few times the early ottoman leadership was great Before there later generations got "spoiled" And with him saying ottoman decline was "predestened" He litterally has a video on what if the ottoman empire had survived
    15
  46.  Yureta Wahyu Caesar  well its more really like really overblown its only happened in a few select regions like aceh. The nationwide radicalisation is a myth On a small scale in a few areas thats the truth.
    15
  47.  RAPHZ OOO  when people say the Islamic world declined they mean politically not religiously And decline does not mean it hasn't made a pretty big comeback it has don't get me wrong it's just well mongols and later Timurids killed combined half of the Islamic population at the time and you would expect it to decline after that.

  48.  @Yellow.1844  there humor are very target and specific so if you dont get it YOU REALLY DONT GET IT. While if you do get it its hesterical. Meanwhile meds are more broad and from what I understand about balkan humor is more edgy on average but I dont know alot about balkan humor beyond viral insults online the like weak greek arguement or the albanian goat thing.

  49. This one didnt though It ended with germany puppeting Austria-Hungary and probably with groups like Danubian-Swabians or Translyvanian-Saxons surviving. So always somthing positive for germany assuming there not partioned which he has done a FEW TIMES.

  50. Well It also happens outside of the west but yeah exasperated it.
