The Taliban in 2021: "Kept you waiting huh"

This channel is so underated it's unfair.

You sure know how to time your videos with current events huh

Single handedly keeping Metal Gear alive

My parents escaped Afghanistan in the 90s, before I played MGS V i had no clear idea of the conflicts in Afghanistan. But after playing it i was interested in the history I even had the chance to visit it and see it for myself. It’s fascinating and terrifying at the same time. A shame it probably won’t be save to visit for the near future.

The only youtuber to make an hour long DEMONitezed video. Great work snake semper fi

The timing is amusing. I shall savor this as one would do so with fine spice.

Well boss, looks like Afghanistan's relevant again.

“Afghanistan’s a pretty big place.” “For you.”

FP be like: "Kaz, I'm already demonetized..."

This is probably.the most entertaining game affiliated history lesson iv watched

The fact that Kojima chose THIS time period and location of all places to set MGS5 is one of the reasons i call him a fucking genius. It is the definition of a masterstroke

My man could have a metal gear solid class in a college

it’s a shame more interviews with Kojima don’t capitalize on his direct opinions of world affairs and politics.

I became a patreon supporter over this very video - My goodness was this good As a Muslim I was amazed at how careful, unbiased and sincerely you tackled the parallels of mgsV and the Afghan conflict

Dude I would watch you talk about history all day even if it had nothing to do with metal gear. Great work

Man you are quicker than Revolver Ocelot Hands pushing out Videos on currently relevant Topics.

I really hope we get that Africa mgsv video. This was an awesome video and very timely :3

The amount of research and work that went to this is simply staggering. Jorin is a national treasure.

Talk about perfect timing

Never stop making KZfaq videos. Your information is deeply valued and your mind is precious as it’s a art to compress so much information into one video.

I learned a lot about Afghan from this, I didn’t know their history was so rich

21:40 “This is, in other words, the era when weapons learned to walk upright.” Holy shit, Part 1 is a banger. You make videos about video games (like this quote obviously references Metal Gear), but they’re a Trojan horse for meaningful lessons LEARNED from history. Perfection

Damn, should I play MGSV before watching this? It's so timely and this is so tempting to watch!

*rubs palms together Now this is gonna be a good one

I learn so much from you that your videos are a must watch as soon as I see them. Only Mark Felton and Unknown5 can say the same

Oh man, I was waiting you for this

This video of yours may be my absolute favorite. I’m very ignorant when it comes to the origins of middle eastern conflict, and seeing all this and how it connects to the plot of MGSV is fantastic. Excellent work!

Thanks for uploading this Futurasound! It's always a treat to see an upload from you; sucks that this video was demonetized, but I guess it's inevitable. You're keeping the MGS scene on KZfaq alive!!

Why is a mgsv video the most comprehensive outline of events in Afghanistan I have seen lately? Keep doing what ever it is you be doing cause it’s great!

I cannot believe the incredible depth & prescience of this essay. Another superb job, Boss.

You could not have timed this better

tfw you sub for metal gear lore but stay for the history lesson. This channel dedication is unreal. I'm a proud Patreon supporter.

I was a child in Kosovo during the Balkan Wars and am a practicing Muslim fluent in Arabic that went on to work for the US Military to help with the war on terror. Overall this a good video essay but please be careful about your smaller bits of information. For example, Serbia was not attacked during the Balkan wars until NATO bombed their military in response to the ongoing genocide or “ethnic cleansing” they perpetrated on Bosnia and (at the time) occupied Kosovo. This is easy to confuse since maps at the time made Kosovo appear as part of Serbia but it is not-hence the reason for conflict and the eventual liberation. Zoroastrians don’t worship fire but they do use it as symbolism similar to Christians with the cross. The word “taliban” does mean students but it doesn’t have any “religious sense”, it’s just the plural of “talib” (student) in regular Arabic. It is also much more widely accepted by Muslims (academic ones anyway) that the prophet’s last words were (translation) “God/Allah is the greatest friend.” Also while George W Bush was obviously all about policing the world against terror, it was ultimately American conservatives that began to backlash against the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan after Osama was killed in Pakistan. It’s just small things like this you should try to be more careful about at least in the way you say them but honestly it’s not a big deal, I am amazed and proud how much a westerner such as yourself has been able to get correct. The way you use Metal Gear to analyze the real world is amazing. And I am incredibly proud of you for being able to accurately differentiate and bring to light that Osama and his legacy are un-Islamic and instead fueled by revenge and malevolence. It is unfortunate what Afghanis have faced and what they are going through right now, thank you for your work on this video. God bless.

Yet another great video, Boss!

>makes a video about a controversial topic >willingly demonetize it >leaves 1 hour of higly informative content about afghanistan and the islamic estremism all tied to our beloved game series gigachad right here

Man, your insights into this series and games in general are nothing short of spectacular. It's incredible how you manage to consistently crank out this content that never fails to meticulously slice, dice, and dissect aspects of a game's bare components. Not only that, but you present everything in a digestible way so that even a dipshit like me can come away understanding things, and at times even change my perspective entirely. The effort put in to the content is very much appreciated!

You're actually Kojima aren't you? God damnit I love this channel.

A channel that makes history, geography, religion and science enjoyable and easy to memorize by simply mixing them with games into flawless documentary and lore. Even for old fans, approaching their favorite games in such new prospective, will feel nostalgic and new in the same time. And for both Documentary and Videogame fan. I say this is top notch, and criminally underrated channel😵‍💫.

Great video!!! We seem to live in a War Economy driven world. Proxy wars seems to keep taking place from time to time. I love how MGS brings up these topics in their games.

As always, great essay and great timing! Couldn't help myself to play MGSV again a few weeks ago, and I finished it tonight - with what went on over the weekend, going around 1980's Afganistan had a bizarre ring. And then, this video dropped!

Wow, great timing on this one. Didn’t you just put together an hour long video like last week? How do you have this kind of workflow?

the history here in this video and in bitter lake really contextualize a situation that most people think was all just a product of everything post 9/11

I love your videos! I’m gonna do my best to share all of them as best I can

The post credits were hard as fuck. Your videos are simply masterpieces. Continue doing this work please.

Brilliant content, brilliant timing. Thank you for helping me expand my world view through your content.

Well you honestly couldn't have picked a better time to release this

I learned more about actual history than MGS lore in this video

another banger video. good job man

One of the things I love most about Metal Gear is that the games taught me so much more about current events and modern military history than school ever did. Sure there's a lot of silly fantasy stuff in there, but Metal Gear is also how I learned about Soviets fighting the Mujahideen, or that Costa Rica doesn't have a military - so many pivotal events in history get woven into the series. These video essays rock, thanks so much for tying together history and geography with the series and exploring it more. Love these things.

Backed on patreon after that intro. Got your back, Boss.

your metal gear videos are on a different level thank you so much for all your effort 😌🙏🙏

Oh boy those who forgot the past are doomed to repeat it

I love your content and how incredibly well researched your video essays are!

Damn son. You earned a sub. And now you're in my Fantasy KZfaqr roster. Keep up that good good.

Most well timed video release of the year

One of the best channels on KZfaq

The repetition of the history is chilling.

Age hasn't slowed you down one bit

Great video! Adds tons of context to not only MGSV but to current events 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I'm a Bosnian and i don't think ive ever seen a video essay touch on the Balkans in an mgs video before. You did good job with this man, subscribing

One of your best productions yet!

Respect my friend. You are doing amazing work!

its criminal how few subs you have. keep grinding man. you ll get there.

Fantastic work. Especially all the history that was covered

Great series. Love your work.

Consistently solid content

Impeccable timing

Great job as usual sir! 👏

I just looked at your patreon. You make just under 500 a month and you put so much time into making a demonitized masterpiece like this. I dont know how you make videos of this quality by yourself but hopefully we can all use it as inspiration to make greater content and art ourselves. We appreciate you Futrasound Productions. And thank you for showing us that your priorities are quality first.

I been waiting on this one. You finished at the perfect time, lol

Excellent documentary - looking forward to the follow up

It was the crossroads of the series. From old to new. And for no more to come. This is the best that was yet to come.

i love your work so very much, I will say the editing on your voice track is extremely choppy on this video though. it sounds different than normal and a little distracting

Great work king

I didnt look away for an hour. WHAT A DOCUMENTARY!!!

I remember being a kid in post 9-11 America. Islamaphobia was high. Ultra Nationalism was a way of life. Even questioning the move to Iraq was considered a social death sentence.

Guess ima be playing mgsv today while listening and watching this.

The title card/intro by itself is genius!

The intro is so epic. DEMONitized!

Sir ...I am proud to be one of your subscribers . This is perhaps your best video . You're pretty good ...

Mate, great upload!! been waiting for something like this and you have come through AGAIN!!

Jihad does not mean Holy War. It has nothing to do with war. Jihad means 'to struggle', having the discipline. Example, waking up early for work instead of sleeping in, thats a form of jihad. Love your video's, keep em coming boss.

Oh the timing.

Gosh I love you! Thank youuuuu! Been waiting for this 🖤

From Medieval icons like Hussain Al Sabaah to Modern elusive leaders like Mullah Omar, The meme of Big Boss remains alive.

Yeah can’t thank you enough, this is top quality content!! I hope all is well.

Impressive research and presentation. Keep up the incredible work!

Great video!

Dude I am going through your archive. I LOVE your content!

One of your best videos. Thank you for doing all this!

metal gear solid inspired me to learn so much about psychology , history , war , human nature , art , and politics , thank you for making this video , it was fascinating to learn some more about the inspiration and set pieces of mgsv , bless you , cant wait to watch the next about Africa

Bro how do you keep pumping out these high quality videos so frequently

This channel is prolific to me keep up the good work.

Takes courage to make such a politized video nowadays. Thumbs up even if I havent fully watched it through.

Great stuff!

Keep up the good work!

that timing tho…

my high hope is that eventually the story of metal gear will make sense to me, but barring that, playing the games and watching these analyses has caused me to consider and understand the world and philosophy in much greater depth. it's interesting to consider the history that everyone outside the US has experienced (i.e.: kojima) over the years. Thank you Jorin

These docs should be considered official MG companion pieces imo.
