Imagine what the world would look like today if Roosevelt and Wallace in 1941 behaved like Trump and Vance do today.

I can't help but think of that one Family Guy clip where Osama bin Laden accepts Jesus just before he dies makes it to Heaven.

Imagine being unfortunate enough to have a name like Dick van Dyke.

My grandparents are old enough to remember seeing North Vietnamese body counts (a metric completely irrelevant to whether or not the war was being won) on TV. Now I get to experience the 21st century equivalent.

"Give that bitch an injection" can simultaneously be a dick joke and an expression of concern for her health.

I'm specifically looking for that 2001 cave interview that aired on Al Jazeera. Without subtitles. Don't care if there's an AP watermark, just don't want the subtitles.

This probably sounds weird without context, but it's harder to find footage of Osama bin Laden than I thought. All those videotapes but nothing on YouTube. 99% of the Internet Archive pages lock you out of downloading the video files.

Adolf Hitler footage was NOT this hard to find.

World War II: The Myth of Economic Determinism YouTube video by The Counterfactor

Obligatory self-promotion for those who haven't seen my newest video. (Or even knew I had a channel.)

His fans who haven't been fully radicalized into defending North Korea yet will claim it's out of context when the context makes it worse. (He was mocking a veteran for losing his eye in Afghanistan and said "some mujahideen, a brave fucking soldier, fucked his eye hole with their dick.")

I fell from the light

Sure, but that also means you can't claim Sorley's work is bad because it's revisionist. I don't even like his promotion of the stab-in-the-back myth, just make better critiques.

Daddis writes on page ix that "this book is a work of historical revisionism," so if being revisionist is bad...

"OMG, you think all Republicans are Nazis!"
"Yes."

Dear YouTubers,

Pick a thumbnail and stick to it. Don't cycle between 3 different thumbnails in the first hour of the video's upload.

Mexican history in the 19th century is American history if the Founding Fathers all tried to kill each other.

Twitter users and Bluesky users after finding out they both hate Jews.

I really need to pay more attention to the news. I didn't know Ahmadinejad transitioned.

I can't listen to "It's Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News without thinking about the "fuck bees" remix and laughing.

I can't believe a fan of a guy who said 9/11 was justified would do this.

You left out losing the Civil War smh my head

Communism is when animal abuse.

Replace "Iranian" with "Iraqi" and suddenly you've traveled back in time to April 2003.

494th post.
Look at that 494th pokemon.

*nerd, not need. Fuggin' A.

This might just be my inner military history need speaking, but I feel really dissatisfied with how "what if Gore won 2000" talk about the GWOT. To invade Iraq or not to invade Iraq is not the only question.

Maybe I'll make my own take after my own two (maybe three) videos about the GWOT.

It's funnier when you know the context that Stan was forced to do this by an Islamic terrorist.

Boot wrote that book when he was still a Republican. I think we can cut him some slack, especially because of how great that book is otherwise.
