LINDYBEIGE
*rambles incoherently and doesn't cite any sources*
his sources are him reenacting medieval battles
see the backstabbing video
Give me one good reason why i shouldn't watch and then source him in my conversation.
this
how on earth does he have a following?
He makes sense.
He's honestly quite charismatic and when he started out there wasn't really anyone else doing what he did
This. But ultimately I really don't think anyone takes him too seriously. He doesn't cite sources, true, but he explains his reasoning in an understandable and, most importantly, ENTERTAINING manner. Every other historical youtuber out there either reeks of permavirgin autism or can't explain something clearly and with charisma to save their life. Lindy lacks actual knowledge and evidence to back his points up but at least he can capture your attention for more than 30 seconds without stuttering, rambling or having to heavily edit his recordings to make them legible.
Permavirgin inexpressive autism makes a god tier historical youtube channel, though.
It's the normie "I fucking love history xD" crowds that are attracted to lindybeige.
Yeah man I love listening to nasally people struggle to make a coherent point
There's good autism like Matt Easton or Knyght Errant where it's still entertaining because you can tell that they're really passionate about what they're saying and that's captivating in its own way
Then there's bad autism like Skallagrim and Metatron where they just ramble on for ten minutes in a nasally voice
>normie
Skallagrim is a hardcore badass
...
...
What did you mean by this
Yeah he's got a pretty bad ass no doubt after taking that strap-on for so long.
Little known fact: despite being English lindy beige doesn't drink tea.
I'm sure I remember someone saying he has an undergrad in archeology or medieval something or other. Couldn't find he sauce though.
Wat
Dude is literally a 5'6" 230 pound varg but while varg is just delusional at best Skall is just...gay dood
BazBattles is fucking awesome for details on wars, feature history is good too but both havent rly uploaded lately
also look up tom richie
tom *richey how gai of me
He LARPs way too much for my taste. I want hard evidence to back the points he makes not just assumptions based on his knowledge of history.

I used to love to watch his videos, but now with the advertisement he makes, it just really turns me off.
Anybody else feels that way?
Still not wrong though. Why would you stab someone in the back? You'd just stab them in the neck even if you managed to sneak up behind them.
I say, did you know that a frenchman is the most perfect target for the English longbow?
HA
No because he only talks about them mid way or at the end and they always relate to the content
Honestly anyone watching Youtube videos for historical analysis outside of things like physical reenactments deserves what they get. It's entertainment, that's all.
Matt is better. Actually cites shit and doesn't make wild claims. The problem with trying to logically understand everything in history without sources is that people don't always behave logically so you can't just assume "it was done this way because it makes the most sense" when people don't necessarily do what makes the most sense.
At least when Matt argues something was unlikely, that's as far as he goes: "unlikely." He doesn't make sweeping claims like Lindy.
History Den is good for actual university level lectures snipped into digestible pieces
Thats why i like historyden. The guy has been uploading lectures for years and only has 5k subscribers, hasn't changed formulas either. He's doing this for history's sake not viewer count and dosh.
thanks ill check that out, i'll also check those trips too
i wouldn't worry he is just being a smug memer
All his ww2 videos cite sources though
How does his sweater smells like?
Was he raped at the boarding school?
i remember seeing someone post a link to skallagrims furry deviant account. The man is an autist, through and through
He's entertaining.
he's always pretty clear about just voicing his own opinions
I mean please criticize him but holy shit do it right
does anyone have link?
I want to have a laugh
His wife is fucking ugly
here ill give ya one too
saving up his (you)s like a gold keep

Anecdotal evidence isn't a source senpai
>this gunner with a 'spandau' couldn't hit a target at 50m!
>therefore a 'spandau' is highly inaccurate, and it's impossible to hit anything beyond 50m
stale pasta m8
>Spanish
Spandau
No anecdotal evidence isn't a source. It comes from a source.
Anecdotal evidence is pretty important in history desu, especially if you have only one source (that's not really relevant for the WW2 though). He sources all his anecdotes though so it doesn't make my statement wrong.
This. I need to see it.
Bruh the guy is full of shit, especially towards any topic related to WWII, mostly because he's relying on the heroic stories of his fellow countrymen
Go watch military history visualised if you want a nuanced view of WWII. At least that guy has a degree in history and has experience with the military
That is fair, I'm thinking more of his ancient/medieval stuff.
Is it weird that I like Matt Easton but find Knyght Errant boring? I literally drift off to sleep every time I give Knyght Errant my full attention.
This guy's great, I don't get why you tits get up in arms about him so frequently
probably because matt picks more exciting topics while knight just does a three hour long video on a type of shoe
errant makes good content, but im just being real here
>the French
>user claims he doesn't cite his sources
>he does
> NUH UH HE ONLY USES BIASED SOURCES
Dude, I don't want nuanced views I want an arrogant brit talking rambling about ww2 for a couple of minutes. If I wanted nuanced views I wouldn't be watching a video anyway I would be reading a fucking book.
Skallagrim is like Varg without the actually being a self-sufficient forest dwelling murderer
very true
if I can't have an honest chap disparaging the garlic chewers on my youtubes, then I simply can't think myself to be living
And I don't think Skallagrim ever murdered anybody. Or burnt down very old churches.
Fuck I hate Varg so much for that shit. If you want to burn down churches, don't burn down the fucking old ones, the really beautiful ones with history. Burn down the new one, those ugly post-modern shit churches.
But no mr. Edgy Pagan man must burn down the old ones
Fuck I am not even religious but that makes me sad. Varg is as bad as ISIS
FUCK U VARG

>his sources are full of shit?
>idgaf lmao xD
Maybe you're able to take his bs with a grain of salt, but the majority of his viewers actually take his word like it's the absolute truth
And then we'll have little autists actually believing the english won the HYW, or Operation Market Garden actually being a success, or the Churchill tank being the best of WWII,...
The list goes on
Yeah that's not okay...
Can we all agree that alternatehistoryhub is the worst history related channel on youtube?
fuck alternate history lets just not read real history because we might learn something
what in the fuck
Underrated post
THIS. All the guy does is make educated guesses. Literally the lowest tier HEMA youtuber.
Hahhaha oh wow
weird but i dont see any freakish porn
...
What if you didn't post this?
this
very tame desu
You seem upset.
