Good history/humanities youtube channels

not really a fan of Sargon, but I did listen to this interview a few months back and it seems to be the best explanation of what his real views are
youtube.com/watch?v=52CBG1iAXdk

Pretty early on he talks about how he's used the "classical liberal" meme to describe himself but really social democrat is a better description.

I'm a youropoor social democrat and we barely hold any similar views.

I've always described myself as being socially liberal while economically conservative and no one's ever accused me of shilling surface level politics.

I like 3 minute history vids made by Jabzy. a few examples

Fourth Crusade

>Carlgon of Can't Fucking Read

Wow Veeky Forums really hit rock bottom.

capitalist market economy with a welfare state?
That's pretty much what he talks about, and we already have here in the UK
the only political change he seems to want is a reduction of immigration

I agree

>and no one's ever accused me of shilling surface level politics.

>Disliking TGO
Bunch of turtleneck wearing DYELS desu

Huh? how can he not read? What do you mean specifically?

>social democrat
>constantly shit on Corbyn as a communist
I bet he doesn't even know what social democracy policies are like or have never read Labour manifesto

so what is his political ideology?

Whatever his autistic manchild audience wants to hear

Corbyn? Classic democratic socialist trying to reform the capitalistic system to socialism instead of a left wing capitalist

Sargon? What said

Despite him being an impossible chauvinist at times, I kind of like Lindybeige.

>no mention of glorious Lindybeige

Good lad.

i just watched the britisher and his thoughts on the confederate statue and I disagree with what he says.

in these days, centrism seems to be dying in the west and it's becoming more and more tribal, you're either standing with a person like Varg or you're standing for a red hair feminist complaining about white men. He's acting morally superior to liberals because they disrespected the dead by tearing down the statue with violence. When the people commenting on this guy's videos are the kind of people to do nazi salutes in old concentration camps.

I think the britisher from what I've seen is just a lite version of the kind of stuff you would seen on /pol/. Both sides are trying to demonize each other as much as possible.

That's bait, isn't it?

Oh, and most of these channels I posted are very /k/ related, too, just thought they were interesting. I didn't post any political channels I subscribed to.

I never said The Britisher was a centrist ideologue or someone from whom to drink everyword. Just that if you like Sargon of Akkad (he was good till late 2015), then the britisher is a better version of it.

It doesn't mean you have to agree with him.

I honestly don't watch him anymore.

'Survive the Jive' is my dude. But I have a fascination with prehistory.

> tfw you're French

LindyBeige is just butthurt because his fucking last name is "brownish" in French.

The same colour as the shit he's producing.

What's wrong with kraut and tea other than the blatant hyperbole he likes using?

What's wrong with Ben Shapiro? He's the only political pundit (as opposed to intellectual) that's actually worth listening to.

His smugness with regards to his self-proclaimed position within the "skeptic" community is laughable. He's done some great videos, don't get me wrong. But like Sargon, the quality of his content is going downhill.

The community needs new blood and new ideas.

The community was built around "responding" to the hemegonic ideology, and it was openly seen as an underdog position. It happens that the so called SJW ideology is getting a strong pushback at the moment irl and therefore their core message, becoming somewhat mainstream or at least broadcast at a larger scale, makes their channels less relevant.

To further my point, they've been milking the cow and have provided no new idea or concept to the mix. It's become repetitive and therefore less appealing.

Basically, they've monetize themselves and now are fearing innovation.

People like Peterson somewhat break apart from the cynical, sometimes ironic, and consequently post-modern and deconstructivist approach the "skeptics" have wrought on the SJW ideology. Peterson's bringing in some sympathy towards ideas that were laughed at in the past on the internet, like spirituality. And this novelty is important to the audience.

To conclude my point, the people who've formed the core of their audience, I think, are looking for new things and because the "old" skeptic youtubers are afraid from moving away from their historic cash cow, their repeatitiveness is lowering their quality overall. Especially when latecomers like Bearing or BPS are just in the business to milk that cow.

Ben Shapiro is a religious hack who's in bed with Denis Praeger. He's in the industry to further his journalistic work despite he's done nothing of worth since his early publishing. If you look up and watch all his talks, Shapiro is and has been for at least three years, repeating the same script word for word.
So yes he's a pundit. But he's a cash cow milkman. He's bringing nothing new.

Unless you mean the literal shit he produces on a (presumably) daily basis I have no idea what you mean. The mere concept that a Brit would be offended by the French interpretation of his name (or anything else) is laughable at best.

> French interpretation
It's literally a French word. Like nearly half of the English language

Go home, Lindy. Go cry on your people while promoting Anglish.

I have only watched 4 or 5 of his videos but the last two have been going after the alt right and addressing race and iq.
I was pretty impressed by that because he seems to be the only one with the cojones to actually pick that fight.

>What's wrong with Ben Shapiro?
Its just /pol/ tier anti-Semitism

>Since 2007, StJ has been an alternative media source; promoting anti-consumerist and anti-materialist perspectives. The channel promotes indigenous and traditional cultures as a way to oppose globalisation.

Excuse me while i retreat underground to hack lose a billion buckets worth of salt to take for this YouTube channel alone.

Nice ad hominem, plebians. user explains here that Shapiro is just unoriginal

user here. I agree on this instance. This video in content was good (and was corroborated by Colltaine for example).

Humanities:
Laci Green
Feminist Frequency
TYT
Libertarian Socialist Rants

...

I agree that Shapiro definitely panders to the religious right. I disagree with Shapiro on several things, particularly social issues and foreign policy, but I like the fact that he will call out both the left and the right on their stupidity, and generally his political analysis is pretty accurate. He was one of the few pundits to actually have a rational take on the whole DACA situation, for example (pretty much nothing is going to change). And even if you have low opinions of pundits in general, which is understandable, he's probably the least unbearable of them all.

Metokur and Vee dindu nothing wrong

Lindybeige especially if you want to learn about why british are better at everything than everyone else in the world and why Bren shits all over Spandau.

are all good for humanities stuff and critque/explanation of modern culture

Pretty much everyone OP posted are shit tier hacks

Note that I am talking of Ben Shapiro in the context of the "skeptic" communities the likes of Sargon of Akkad and other personalities OP baited as humanities channels.

Therefore my criticism of Shapiro only reflects his position towards the goal of this community: undoing the hegemonic ideology of, excuse my French, SJW-ism.

Ben Shapiro and his analysis of current affairs outside of ideology and ethics is laudable, including his DACA analysis I guess. His work at Daily Wire YT channel is commendable despite the clickbaity content of the website itself.

Vee has a portuguese accent.

>Aydin Paladin
my nigger

> not shitting on communism loving terrorism supporter

I avoid YouTubers that talk about 'SJW' culture and current politics like the fucking plague and disregard obvious ClickbaitTubers that only use history to garner character traits. *cough* Sargon *couch*

That being said here is my list of YouTubes I watch and you should to.

1. Cynical historian is a small YouTube channel by Chypher, He has made an extremely useful video on Historical revisionism/orthodoxy/post-revisionism, he has also made some videos on movies that are based on Historical events witch are fun to watch none the less. He's currently in the process of getting a PHD.
youtube.com/user/CynicalCypher88/videos

2. History Buffs does the same movie critiques like Cypher does but more lengthy and in depth.
There is only one Episode he started to rant politically but it's not something that ruined it and was related to the subject he covered.
youtube.com/channel/UCggHoXaj8BQHIiPmOxezeWA

3. Baz battles guy illustrates history with flash animation of troop movements and great but sometimes sleep induceing narration, He mostly talks about Classical and Medieval warfare.
youtube.com/channel/UCx-dJoP9hFCBloY9qodykvw

4. Jabzy most people here are aware of, he's traveled the globe and talked about historical things he find interesting. He's pretty entertaining and his videos last just around 3-5 minutes so you have no excuse of taking a peek.
youtube.com/user/JabzyJoe

5. THE GREAT WAR/IT'S HISTORY
Already been covered to death, you know why it's popular.
youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar
youtube.com/user/BlastfromthePast

cont.

6. Historia Civilis Simmilar to Baz battle's he covers mostly classical warfare and the most unique part classical politics and systems.
youtube.com/channel/UCv_vLHiWVBh_FR9vbeuiY-A

7. Military History Visualized is like Historia Civilis but centered around modern military history 1900-today.
He cites military records and has a large library of videos for every occasion
youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/featured

8. Caspian Report is not exactly restricted to history based but has also useful political insight to geo-political situations around the world.
youtube.com/user/CaspianReport

9. Feature History is a pretty good entry point for some, he sometimes try to joke around while narrating, bordering on annoying but it doesn't drag on too long. He's not a professional historian and I haven't seen any of the sources he's using. Regardless his vids are informative enough to be on my list.
youtube.com/channel/UCHdluULl5c7bilx1x1TGzJQ/featured

Map tubers:
GalacticPenguinTV: youtube.com/channel/UChvD0d3O9_3VsyrYVrYx0nw
Sumoi: youtube.com/channel/UCWxBB2QYn2clDaDy5W0Uvww
EmperorTigerstar:youtube.com/user/EmperorTigerstar/featured

Would make a shit list for people to avoid but would be too long.

Second this they are a piece of fresh air compared to the billions of other YouTubers that rip each other off and cites Rebel media.

I'm a staunch libertarian myself, I've never once watched a single one of this fags videos, but what you're describing is very accurate. Also /pol/tards use our ideology as a guise. 90% of them are too retarded to conceal their radicalism in public but the ones that are capable of such a thing are "muh libertarian and genocide is okay if it's not done by the state XD" types

Is this what this guy is? He's very well known among that community but I don't know their opinions on him

>What do you mean specifically?

He continuously cites papers and research when trying to prove a point that DIRECTLY contradict or in some cases utterly debunk his entire point because he can't be arsed to actually properly READ the entire fucking thing before filming his stupid mug talking about it.

He's so full of shit it's kinda spectacular to bask at.

Markiplier

He's Buzzfeed for white teenagers who don't like SJWs

They trigger the /pol/aks something fierce and I don't always agree with their points but they put actual effort and research into their points and don't just do the sensationalist THE NIGGS ARE COMING THE NIGG COMMIES ARE COMING faceshouting clickbaits like so many other youtubers.

Check this

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know of any good channels covering linguistics/linguistic anthropology? A lot of history-oriented channels touch on the subject, but I would like to find something dedicated primarily to it

If you can speak French, I can advise you to look at Linguisticae. However, the guy is a fucking leftist (as are most people in social sciences sadly).

whats wrong with leftism?

The propensity to revisionism to weave a narrative of history that serve a personal political agenda.

Mind you the right also do so but, today, the revisionism undergone by leftist thought is more dangerous.

thats not leftism, thats far liberalism

I do speak French, so thanks a bunch. Politics doesn't bother me too much so long as the info is accurate

Ya'll hatin on my boy Sargon here. Well at least he's a based whippersnapper or whatever fancy fance term ya'll like to use these days. He's not committing the sin of diaper fetishes and wearing them fancy millennial size diapers and shitting in them for his own sinful pleasure. No, Sargon is calling out the SJWs and you damn whippersnappers.

Get out of here, commie. You're accusing others of what you've been doing. A common sophistry.

>what he can agree with someone on some things but disagree with them on some other things wtf is this my partisan riddled brain literally can't handle not being religiously loyal to a political party
Everything TL;DR does is pretty great due to how academic he is, for a lack of a better term.

there is nothing wrong with social safety nets, unless, of course, you want to be like the midwest where everyone can't afford healthcare

Is Colorado considered the Midwest, or the West? Because here the state government subsidizes low-income families' healthcare, so that basically everyone has it, even undocumented immigrants and the chronically unemployed. Curious that other states don't do that

>Is this what this guy is?
No. Veeky Forums is filled with people who think he's /pol/ or "alt-right" and this most often is an obvious sign that they have never watched the guy and get their info on him from people/sources that hate him (I.E Rational Wiki and so on). He calls himself classical liberal to highlight that he values personal freedom, and to distance himself from mainstream american liberalism. His actual views would fall more into social democracy. His videos aren't as bad as people make it out to seem, or rather that the people who hate on him here are very hypocritical. His quality is on par with the rest of youtube content, aka it's pretty bad. It's just happens that his content is bad, and disagrees with the tankies/yank liberals on Veeky Forums.
>/leftypol/ says they hate identity politics on a whole, regardless which side does it
>recommends a shitload of leftist identity politics youtube channels
hmm..

>still shilling the lie that Sargon is a socdem post snap election
>unable to differentiate identity politics from class struggle
What a surprise a Sargon apologist turns out to be as politically illiterate as him

Uh, there's usually a difference between the "classical" and "neo-" versions of a philosophy.

Please articulate that difference, because to me they seem like two sides of the same coin

>haha jokes on you class struggle is different from identity politics!

Apples and pear desu

Aside from the fact that I disagree with him greatly, he is a panderer and someone who due to his idealogy holds loyalty to another nation moreso than the US. Also, he's a hack, and I don't mean that in the sense that what he says is lies, I mean that he's doing it all for his own benefit and not for the country.

Plus, he has many times in the past been hilariously wrong in election predictions.

Not him but pundits as a concept are a cancer on society, and I think they are largely responsible for getting everyone in this country so fired up and believing in a "with us or against us" mindset.

Metokur made a really shitty Linkara video. There are so many more things you can say, but in the end what his video was is essentially kink-shaming. I don't care about a person's fetishes, I care about what a person says.

Yeah but Hbomberguy gave an amazingly shitty defense of Dark Souls 2, and I even like that game.

Not him but the issue is more that people can die of a preventable condition because of a poor safety net in one state when that won't happen in another, despite both states being under the same federal government.

A lot of assumptions here, wew. First of all see . Disagreeing with a Social Democrat does not make you non-social democrat. I'm a social democrat but disagree with Corbyn.
>unable to differentiate identity politics from class struggle
Where did I say this? Could you please point out that to me? No, seriously. For such a bold claim could you provide some proof? Could it be that you made some very hefty assumptions, with limited knowledge? I just noticed that most of the youtubers endorsed by leftypol engage in racial identity politics, for example:
Democracy Now!
The Finnish Bolshevik
The Jimmy Dore Show

They're actually the same exact ideology with different focuses.

Classical liberals championed individual freedoms more broadly (which would naturally include free markets).

Neoliberals are more narrowly interested in free markets, likely as a reaction to more labor-friendly, leftist politics. They're basically standard liberals with a bigger hardon for free market capitalism.

read a fucking book you nigger

Pundits are just a symptom of the media's obsession with conflict. There are good pundits out there, but the only ones the media gives attention to are the ones who scream.

It's obvious bait, dude.

A symptom that exacerbates the problem

Sargon of Cuck is seriously deluded if he thinks identity politics are bad.

5/10 b8

Agree. As I said before, he's the least unbearable of all the pundits. Overall we'd be much better off as a society without them.

>dan carlin

>He's Buzzfeed for white teenagers
>implying Buzzfeed isn't for white teenagers

>implying civic nationalism will fix the West
What a dumb nigger. Then again, he is 1/4 shitskin, so it's to be expected of him.

Isaac Awthuw

Love his channel though.
