Why is Lindybeige such an historically illiterate idiot?

>what the fuck wrong with his collar.
He modifies them to look like Victorian-era standup collars. A few years ago, he made a video demonstrating how.

In which video did he say these things?

The Mongols captured thousands of engineers from China and the Middle east and utilized them to sack hundreds of walled cities. HUNDREDS. Not to mention they developed various siege tactics independently

>HUNDREDS

[Citation Needed]

>hurrdurr been guns

And yet nowhere do I hear you saying that horses lay siege to castles, you ABSOLUTE BLOCKHEAD

Imagine being Lindybeige and having to deal with all this nonsense from people who are still butthurt that their great grandpappy got btfo by the superior Anglo race

well op is a faggot once more

Fuck off John Green

>(at least it does when you're not a glorious Anglo warrior).

reminder that Lindybeige claims:

>the bren gun was like a full auto sniper rifle
>boer concentration camps were refugee camps

>boer concentration camps were refugee camps
Every time.

>posting this bullshit copy pasta in the [insert current year

Most of these are true though.

>climate change isn't real
There is no proof that climate-change is man-made.
>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
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 driven out by Boer guerilla warfare.

Well the Mongols actually weren't good at siege tactics at all.
They did however have the best Chinese Seige engineers in the rood working for them.
Kind of like how Rome didn't do Calvary , the Mogops didn't do seige they just brought along people who did.

World ***

So now that the original pasta and the original answer have both become recurring pastas in every Lindy thread, why not just turn the whole thread into a pasta and simply repost it every week to save everyone some time?

This is your brain on Br*tish propaganda

>defending lindybeige

>literally the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy

Just because his bullshit theories and analyzes accurately conclude with "so the Anglos" won does not mean his analysis is right.

They literally failed every time they attacked astone fortification in europe, and nearly got wiped out inchina, only winning down the line due to armies of defectors. Its not an exxageration. Why the hell would people expect pastoral nomads to be good at sieges? May as well act shocked they were seen as incompetent on foot.

The Boer genocide never happened, but I wish it did

Done by Armenians, Georgians, Persians, Normans, Greeks, and various other allies of the Mongols

The problem with lindybeige is that he’s a retarded dance teacher and not a knowledgeable person
Also anglo bias trash

Brodie helmets are widely regarded as the least liked design from ww1 with german stalhelms being the mosted like to the point that everyone adopted the design for their helmets for ww2

>boer concentration camps were refugee camps
they were

>There is no proof that climate-change is man-made.

Baghdad was mostly the work of Georgians and the Principality of Antioch honestly but Lindy is still a dumbass
