Wow, what an epic meme my dude!!! Upvoted!!!

...

Why do so many butthurt Frenchies always crawl out the woodwork whenever Lindybeige is mentioned? Are you that angry that exists a guy out there that doesn't support your Anglophobia?

The Great War channel

The only person on that list who is an actual historian is Scholagladiatoria

Metatron has such a pure, child-like autistic obsession he's endearing, if only he could go deeper in his expositions he'd be a top tier Romaboo/Weeaboo

>English won the hundred years' war
Still mad about Agincourt, eh Pierre?
>napoleon was hitler
He was a mentally ill tyrannical dictator manlet hell-bent on destroying Europe and creating a "Greater France" by carving out great territories to its east, only being stopped once he tried to invade Russia and the winter dismantled his campaign, and had his entire country occupied by Russia and Britain in the end, killing over six million people during that time (sound familiar?). In the terms of foreign policy, at least, the Hitler comparison is apt.
>market garden was a sucess
That's debatable, but hardly an "Angloboo" position to take.
>british ww2 tanks were superior
Superior to the Italians and Germans, at least.
>brodie helmets were superior
They were, unless you believe superiority comes from the number of spikes on your cap.
>English accents are superior
Completely subjective, but a common sentiment, especially across the pond.
>English is the best language
It is the most widely used one, and the lingua franca of the world, so yes.
>Normans weren't French
They weren't, you dolt. They were Norman.
>imperial system is better
Name me one other system of measurement that has survived metric and then we'll talk.
>dunkirk was a british victory
A strategic victory, yes. 90% of British forces were evacuated from a pocket formed prior, along with a good chunk of French forces, and a great deal of equipment that would otherwise have fallen into German hands was made useless. Given the background situation, it was beyond the best anyone could've hoped for.
>british officers don't duck
True.
>the bren gun was like a full auto sniper rifle
It was a machine gun, so it's a silly comparison to make, but again, hardly "angloboo" in nature.
>>boer concentration camps were refugee camps
>Oy, jy liefen engelser, my opa vas gassed three times at Bloemfontein
Fuck off with your anti-British nonsense. Those camps were indeed for refugees diven out by Boer guerilla warfare.

Oh shit, what's up Lloyd

He's linnked to Veeky Forums archives, so it's not unthinkable he'd be on Veeky Forums. He also has a big ego and won't back down or admit mistake.s

>Still mad about Agincourt, eh Pierre?

Pure Anglo propaganda. They lost the war, so they then focused on the battles they did win. Imagine if Germans took this approach to WWI and WWII and only focused on their victories, then were very silent about the actual outcome of the wars.

stooopid Nigel, so stooopid rosbif

came here only to post this

Lindybeige is fucking garbage
Trust anglo brainlets to “learn” history through YouTube videos made by a retarded dance teacher lmao

Why does it have to be about handicapped people? Cant I just have sex with drug dealer for drugs?

He's passionate, and that passion is infective. He actually got me into Greek-Roman history. He's quite sloppy when it comes to facts. I would hire him to be a presenter for a history doc though.

You are mentally insane

>Lindybeige
Very entertaining, people take him way to serious around here. Content has been getting a lot less relevant.
>Metatron
Interesting guy (ex military) kind of goofy that he wears chainmail everyday. Content becoming very shitty lately.
>History With Hilbert
Nice guy, tries very hard. Memes are a bit forced. Content is getting better but he is still essentially an amateur.
>Scholagladiatoria
Dont really watch him.
>History Buffs
A bit of a normie, dont like his humour and historians review format isn't really that interesting imh.
>Skallagrim
Basically Metatron without the personality.
>Sargon of Akkad
Ancient Recitations are nice, he has a good voice.
>Historia Civilis
The best content creator on this list, he knows what his channel is about and gives very lucid explanations, he never wastes your attention with anything besides the history.

I AM SILLY!

Like what?

>Those camps were indeed for refugees diven out by Boer guerilla warfare
Don't lie, removing the Boer vermin from Gods earth is something to celebrate

>Feature History
I feel like he gives out nice, somewhat brief videos about history. It's good to listen to if you wanna relax.
>Masaman
A channel more or less dedicated to some minor alternate history, he does make a good amount of videos detailing the origins of certain races and how their history.

>after they backstabed him
Kill yourself ouiboo

Sargon used to be a history channel

>Invicta
Great production and concise videos. Subjects are very clickbaity and factoidish however.
>Baz battles
Overviews of historical battles also with great production. Picks battles more or less at random and doesnt give much context.
>Kings and generals
Baz battles clone.
>Extra credits
Random entry level historical factoids.
>Overly Sarcastic productions
Cringely presented random entry level historical factoids.
>Crash course
Cringely presented entry level generalized historical overviews.
>Real Crusades History
Single subject allows for a lot of depth, gets a little political from time to time.

Post links please

Ok, Talleyrand and the Russiand backstabbed him, better?

>youtube.com/channel/UC9NNB_Hd4zPR-QDfnNOChwg/videos
This guy is sort of an American Lindybeige

>south africa is better off black!

Good goy

Yeah, no. He used to offer his completely ignorant and retarded views on historical topics, but he was no more an historian than he was a spaceman.

Time to get extinct'd, subhuman.

I'm not a boer, and my people (Nigerians) are enjoying a boom in population and economic strength.

Emperor tigerstar

have an extra (You)

Is Historia Civilis /ourguy/?

(you)

How is he an historian?

He has a history degree and has written several works of academic literature

>sartard of akkuck
fuck off with your political bs

>He has a history degree
protip: he hasn't

>has written several works of academic literature
funny way of spelling drivel written by an amateur. All his academic 'experience' consists of some volunteering work no one gives a shit about

His thesis was about late medieval armour

And my thesis was about aircraft design. Does this make me a qualified aviation historian?

>protip: he hasn't
You're right, he has a bachelors degree in archaeology. By itself, that degree doesn't really mean anything, because he isn't a professional archaeologist.

>drivel written by an amateur. All his academic 'experience' consists of some volunteering work no one gives a shit about
This is completely exaggerated. Matt was one of the people who pioneered HEMA as an applied kind of experimental archaeology. He and a friend made the first English translations of Fiore's manual, and he's had tons of experience working with other historical treatises as primary documents. Yes, this was all done outside of academia and technically amateur volunteering, but if Matt would have done his work as a form of graduate research, it definitely would have enough to at least produce a Master's thesis.

The guy's life work has been all about studying historical documents, and applying that information as a way of reviving historical practices. In doing that, he's done tons of actual, original research; and I mean that in the academic sense of the word (contributing new knowledge). Most other youtubers just repeat information people like him produce. I agree that he's not really a historian (but only because I don't think that label is really an accurate description of what he does), but he's still one of few popular youtubers that can accurately be called a "researcher."

Absolutely. Only decent one out of that list.

Woops you were talking about Scholagladiatora, i thought you were a Lindy fanboy because of your image and me being retarded
Yeah i'd have to agree Matt is fairly decent. I don't really follow him but from what i've seen he cites his sources, doesn't make shit up and applies CONTEXT

Can we not call these people historians? At all?

Lindybeige is absolute fucking trash.

>British officers don't duck

Honestly what's with all this lindybeige hate?The guy does have some bias indeed but he's also made a lot of good videos.

You're not wrong, but for me, the guy who produced 80% worthwhile history and 20% speculative drivel is almost more troublesome than the propagandist producing 100% garbage.

People out there worship Lindy. They think he's an academic source. He's not.

Because a huge chunk of Veeky Forums litterally has autism and is therefore unable to tell when someone is joking or exaggerating.

Wow, that's the most retarded way of explaining horseshoe theory I've ever seen.

>Extra credits
>muh great man history

>Realcrusadeshistory
Terrible voice, reactionary video responses to Extra Credits. No.

>Sargon of Akkad
I don't care if it costs me my life. If I have to post Hbomberguy, I will.

This dude

I wish I could be his friend

Retarded drawing, but it's still funny.

Who's Lindybeige? I looked him up, and he just seems like a guy who talks about guns and for some reason thinks cavalry was stupid.

But that's not his fault. In fact in his latest videos he goes out of his way to say that he's just speculating or that he isn't an expert.

...

>Military History Visualized
Good for logistics and general staff work during WW2

>Lindybeige
His statement that the MG42 isn't used in any modern army and that the Bren still being used by the Indian army is proof that the Bren was better made me realize not only does he not know how to research, but he just talks out of his ass.

his follow up video was even more embarrasing
>if you call me out on my bullshit you're a wehraboo!
