>A professional dance teacher, Mr Lloyd was not a paid member of staff at the university but worked there part-time as an 'evolutionary psychologist.' He carried out research, published material on his own site accessed via the official university server and even gave a number of seminars based on a video he had made relating to the evolution of man.
>Mr Lloyd, a bachelor with a degree in archaeology...
I don't think anyone here posts about him unironically.
Jack Stewart
But he's /ourguy/
Grayson Bell
I honestly don't get all the hate for Lindybeige. Like I watched a few videos and decided I didn't like them all that much, but in every one he states that he's not a professional historian and just explaining personal, amateur theories. And yet Veeky Forums has this raging hateboner for the man.
Jaxson Price
...
Liam Martin
He seems really interested in history and archeology. Why didn't he go for a Masters or PHD?
Oliver James
sounds like an enemy of the people to me
William Gomez
hahaha top lad
Ethan Ortiz
>implying this is some shocking new info >implying that doesn't make him more qualified than 90% of this board
Nicholas Lee
Absolutely fucking brilliant
Henry Watson
fucking gold
Matthew Fisher
My guess is that he lives off of family money. There are enough clues in his videos to suggest that his family is fairly well off, and he seems to like dancing and making videos more than putting in actual academic work (which, for archaeology, requires a fair amount of manual labor). So, if he can still live comfortably while teaching dance, occasionally being involved in video production (TV in the past, youtube now), and only being involved in history through travel and LARPing, why not?
As someone else said, he never tries to pass himself off as some kind of expert. He's just a hobbyist who makes videos talking about things he finds interesting. Like a modern version of a rich Victorian gentleman who reads a lot about history, possibly acts as a patron for antiquarians, and writes about shit he thinks is cool to show off to his friends.
Lincoln Garcia
the man tailors, dyes and buys his own $5 shirts, he's on the dole
Justin Powell
Reminder that vegetarians were so butthurt about this they got him fired
Evan Wood

Gabriel Jackson

i just like watching autists
Christian Hall
lol fucking based
James Sanchez
>they actually printed it, the absolute madmen
Gabriel Morales
This dude is literally shilling his videos on Veeky Forums in person Of course we hate him
Jack Miller
He's the typical nu male fedora tipper tier pseudo hsitorian, just slightly better than Jhon cuck Green
Alexander Hernandez
This can't be real
Ryan Martinez
It's 100% real. It's the same article posted in the OP, just under a different headline. I can't find a better resolution of a scan of the printed version. It's WAY funnier with the printed headline and his smiling image beside it.
Camden Hernandez
he can't even dance well though
Brandon Thompson
>There are enough clues in his videos to suggest that his family is fairly well off,
What? No there aren't, and wealthy people don't make advertisements as he does for audible.com
You just think he's wealthy because he has a middle class accent.
Christian Hall
he mentions that he went to an expensive boarding school, at least his parents are loaded
Jacob Garcia
Which school?
Also in Britain, at least 50% of the inductees at the best "private" schools are from the state sector, paid thru grants.
Benjamin Martin
just watch the video, he mentions that his father got a job in America, and the school now has special security systems for the children of russian oligarchs
John Miller
He's mentioned working in television and film more than once.
Why we hate this lad Veeky Forums? I thought he was /ourguy/.
Camden Roberts
Bryanston is pretty good, its fees are in the ~$15k a year range which is high for Britain but obviously not high in absolute terms.
Leo Wilson
It's 15k per term, $45k or so per year.
Jeremiah Clark
This. He also has a video about being poor in college, and he basically says that it's the only time in his life he ever had to struggle financially (by his standards) and he thought it built character.
He has a few videos where he mentions being involved in TV productions, I think one of them was implied to be Ivanhoe. But he only held really low levels positions and mostly in the 90s before things like IMDB existed or were popular.
Cooper Walker
Omf I forgot he made this
Isaac Taylor
I think we can all agree Lindy > Skallagrim >>>>> scholagladiatoria
Nathaniel Roberts
How come some many popular/famous scientists who study human behavior are trash. Pinker, Dawkins, etc.
Is it because narrative>truth and science just isn't a very good storyteller?
Jackson Reed
Reminder that Lindybeige claims
>no one used swords, axes >no one used horses >no one used throwing knives >no one used double strap arm shields >no one used scythes >no one used mail coifs >no one used torches >Pikemen didn't fight each other >no one spoke French during the French revolution >no one spoke Latin during the Roman Republic >battle of Zama didn't happen >Romans carried one pilum >Vikings weren't real >berserkers weren't real >climate change isn't real >stagnant social mobility isn't real >castles were defended by three soldiers >butted mail is better than riveted mail >operation market garden was a success >Napoleon was literally Hitler
Jaxon Russell
He claimed literally none of those things. Actually watch the videos before you post low-quality pasta bait.
Xavier Morales
>>Vikings weren't real
He is saying you shouldn't use the term Vikings to refer to the entire ancient scandinavian culture. Vikings were raiders. Thus, the term "Viking Children" makes no damn sense.
Ethan Parker
You must be joking, Matt is way better than the two of them combined. He's a HEMA instructor and studied fencing for years. He has deep knowledge of historical fighting compared to Skall who knows only basic stuff and Lloyd who talks out of his ass.
Chase Anderson
>He has zero (0) credits on imdb.
That doesn't mean much. That's only for the most important cast and crew. It doesn't list the majority of low level positions.
Jordan Howard
>He's a HEMA instructor and studied fencing for years.
Fencing is going to do you jack shit on the battle field.
Caleb Anderson
I really like the idea of boarding schools, I would even advocate all children should be in state or private boarding schools but I am a bit of a fascist.
Colton James
>>Napoleon was literally Hitler so hes like any other anglo
Daniel Bell
He's going to be way more useful than the other two. He also killed a man with a sword so he has some experience.
Joseph Nguyen
>lol you're relying upon a dance instructor, with a bachelors who dabbles in homosexual intercourse to run your country?
Ian Moore
You're going to let a middling painter of flowers and shit establish the third reich?
Jordan King
>daily mail
Mason Mitchell
>He also killed a man with a sword so he has some experience. No he didn't.
Jeremiah Hall
You know what? That's pretty fucking based, even if it's Lindybeige.
He likes beige and nobody sells that style of collar
Samuel Evans
...
Blake Richardson
sauce or it didn't happen.
Parker Powell
>In it he dismissed vegetarians as 'tree-hugging leaf eaters', compared them to the Nazis, mocked them as 'dungaree wearers' and warned of 'muesli belt malnutrition.'
sounds based to me
Bentley Bell
There isn't any source but it's not hard to believe considering his past. He used to spent his youth in nightclubs and pubs occasionally getting involved in fights. He also said in a couple of videos he's been attacked by hobos with bottles.
Mason Torres
that faggot has not killed anyone
Sebastian Parker
>Matt >faggot
I bet you like watching skallagrim
James Butler
Yeah, Lindy isn't an expert, nor does he claim to be, but he has some interesting videos; and I think that he, personally, is pretty goddamn bizarre in a funny way. Dance instructor, autist, LARPer, the vegetarian.
Let's be real, He is a nonprofessional history autist like all of us here on Veeky Forums (still better than John Green)
Xavier Green
Someone's gotta be feeding these shitheads disinfo. Might as well be him.
Jonathan Roberts
but..but you're wrong
Landon Allen
...
Wyatt Phillips
How is his Punic War comic going?
Lmao based.
Easton Walker
Pretty much
Benjamin Edwards
>Lloyd talks about something wildly outside of his range of expertise.
Why do people do this?
Easton Moore
It's because he makes fun of france, frogs and frogaboos cannae handle banter.
Jeremiah Sanchez
Matt while definitely mroe knowledgeable is just soooo fucking boring. Lindy tends to be upfront when he's outisde his field of expertise, and even then he actually has charisma dn is entertaining. Matt is just a dull nerd making too long slipping in uuhhhs and eeeehhhs in every sentence.
Face it, you're not watching youtubers to actually learn stuff about history, you do it to be entertained, and Lindy is far superior there.
Nathaniel Peterson
To be honest this is all but confirmed. He killed a home invader. I don't know the circumstances.
I personally think he's much better than LindyBeige and infinitely better than Skallagrim but each their own.
Ryan King
>Face it, you're not watching youtubers to actually learn stuff about history, you do it to be entertained, and Lindy is far superior there.
There is an element of entertainment but for the most part I watch Matt to be informed.
Cameron Cooper
why are Anglos so butthurt about him? He's seen positively in the rest of Europe
Christian King
> >he's not a professional historian and just explaining personal, amateur theories Literally everyone on Veeky Forums
Zachary Martinez
>why are Anglos so butthurt about him? Do you even History?
Lincoln Flores

Benjamin Mitchell
Those videos are quite old, he posted another video later stating that he didn't hold the same beliefs anymore, but that he would keep the videos up for achieving purposes or something.
Asher Lewis
He worked in a circus, TV, teaches dancing and has a Patreon.
He's the modern reiessance of autism man.
Jason Bailey
What is good for Europe is seen as an abomination to the Anglo. There is nothing more Anglos hates than Europe.
Same reason why frogfags get buttblasted by Lindy so much
Napoleon stuffed the Brits, Lindy often talks about stuffing the French
People who did nothing worthwhile cling to the ''''muh ancestors'''' to feel better about themselves so they take offense in place of people who are long dead
Alexander Cruz
>frogs hate him >vegetarians hate him Why does he attract so much hate from effeminate men?
