The Mali empire is literally a meme. It's just a kingdom that got ridiculously wealthy by sitting on top of the two most essential resources of the age and being in close proximity to uncivilized Guinea tribes that could be enslaved to harvest it. The end result was the construction of a library, a mud castle, and Mansa Musa's medieval recreation of a a rapper after their first paycheck from Finkelstein Record Studios. (The empire collapsed within 2 generations of Musa's spending spree too)
When you talked about great Ungern, the room got serious for a moment. Then, teary-eyed, I sang in my Peter Griffin voice: "♫ Here's to the ones that we got, cheers to the wish you were here but you're not... ♫"
They are not always entirely accurate, or at least they state a very complex claim as a simple fact because of the short runtime of the episodes. I actually don’t hate CrashCourse, I used to like watching them as a kid even outside of school, but these videos are meant for children so they’re not going to be entirely detailed and where they lack details they will probably swing to the ideological biases of the authors (ex: denying “Great Man” history)
The crash course guy is the worst libtard ever. Most of his stuff is geared for entertainment rather than actual fact, which is fine, but hes a really annoying person to listen to I personally felt in school, especially because they try to create some consistency in run on jokes when nobody will know what he’s talking about because they don’t watch every video
Libfarts also swoon over athens because they invented wholesome chungus democracy (but NOT le boogboi republicanism, which is totally different or some burger) and the lie about greece being a big gay party. Their made up bullshit about sodomy in ancient republics only makes democracy look gay to anti-lgbt democrats. Athens is more popular thoughbeit by chuds because it founded western civilization.
Great read just a couple small corrections. "I doubt there's much pure Aztec blood in modern day Mexicans" there was never such a thing as "pure Aztec blood" the Aztecs were a military Alliance of three nahua city-states. And there were many nauhas city states most famously Tlaxcala who allied with Spanish. And are in fact many nahua people today the language is spoken as a mother tongue by over 1.7 million people in Mexico many of whom in the rural areas can't speak a lick of Spanish. But still overall a good article
I always thought Ferdowsi was shia since ive heard he preferred the family of Ali in his poetry as compared to the Umayyads. Also, it is funny that all afro iranians are usually from either two places, Ahvaz or balochistan and in both areas the blacks were brought by the Arabs or Omanis specifically as with the latter when they took over for a bit. While its funny how the arabs generally castrated the black men, their breeding of the women is the biggest issue , u have places where theyre 100% middle eastern in ydna but 30-50% SSA in mt-DNA. Truly some sort of curse has been placed on them to worship dat blak ass gahdamn (the persians also did this in east africa btw probably fleeing the mongol conquests too https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05754-w)!
What a well thought-out, funny, and comprehensive post. Learned some surprising shit I didn’t know, and also verified some of my preexisting intuitive thoughts concerning soys and the blinds the view history through. Thanks sect.
Akbar was still a Jihadist who attacked Rajput lands and destroyed temples. Ooh no but he calmed down and created his own stupid cult later in his life, unlike every other muslim ruler from the Delhi Sultanate or his own dad and sons who lived to be psycho jihadists til the fay they died. i guess that means muslims can be apart of Hindu society!
The past week I have gotten into several engagements with Indian liberals who claim that the British invented the rift between Hinduism and Islam. I don’t know how they can possibly believe this
“Allah gave me the task of destroying wicked Hindu kafirs. At his command, I performed Jihad destroying places of Hindu kafirs. I raised standards of Islam everywhere and destroyed Kafirs by the use of the sword. I destroyed places of idol worship all over India.” - Akbar, our multicultural king 🤩
The reasons they like Sikhs is because Sikhs say everyone who is moral gets a better afterlife
Basically Sikhs say you don't have to believe in their religion to be "saved", so the argument goes it's universal/inclusive, plus they were all about compromise between Muslims & Hindus thus being nice & agreeable & reasonable.
My personal interest in the Aztec stems from a compulsive fixation to study my enemies LOL. How much Aztec ancestry modern Mexicants have is debatable, but the brutal Aztec ways are alive and well via the Cartels. Some Cartel members even boast about their own parallels to the Aztec before them. The latinx are genetically inclined to excessive brutality!!!
Man, you're a really entertaining writer and you seem to know your history and belief structures decently well. I'm pretty sure our politics and worldviews are highly incompatible but your stuff generally makes me ponder things afresh. A high compliment for any writer of any genre...

"Mansa Musa's medieval recreation of a a rapper after their first paycheck from Finkelstein Record Studios"
Somethings never change.
Mansa Musa was a light-skinned berber too lmao- not black or brown

Lets be honest all teachers who show crash course videos in class should be shot
my obese 8th grade history teacher who got me suspended because i put gamers rise up joker memes in my google slideshow
What's wrong with CrashCourse? I was shown them in school-good information
They are not always entirely accurate, or at least they state a very complex claim as a simple fact because of the short runtime of the episodes.

Absolutely- Same goes for history simplified and Mr.Beat, though the latter is a complete libtard

“This machine kills fascists” That sticker of his pisses me off.

True true
I'm an Imperial Japan-stan, by I temper it with the knowledge White empires still outperformed them.

I love the mongols and mongolia was a fascinating country to study in.
This post has ironically kindled an appreciation for the mongols within me. Terrorize and conquer eastern men and such
The Mongols were awesome
This was extremely entretaining to read. And the part about zoroastrianism is hilarious. This essay is what i call "autistically genius".

Propaganda is strong
They didn't teach me that in history class

Complete and utter banger like always. Also, WE??!
We Somalians are white lol
Yakubian trvth

The cartels kill way more people than the Aztecs did on their worst days.
