Also it doesn’t have racial relevance at all, because the vast majority of “Caucasian/ whites” are not Anglo Saxon.

Steven Using the term Anglo Saxon is nonsensical seeing as it describes various groups of people, and not some well defined people.

@@cosmicwakes6443 The Germanic settlers in England (exceot the Danes and Norwegians) called themselves Aengli, Seaxe or Angul-Seaxan. King Alfred the Great called himself "Anglorum Saxorum rex". King Aethelstan called himself in 924 "Angelsaxonum Denorumque gloriosissimus rex" and "rex Angulsexna and Norþhymbra imperator paganorum gubernator Brittanorumque propugnator". We should use the term "Anglo-Saxon" for those groups of people who called themselves "Angul-Seaxan" (or in Latin: Angli and Saxones) before 1066 AD.

It doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.

Thanks for this comment. I have no idea why the host felt obligated to ramble on about sensitivity to race. Completely unnecessary to the interview.

2:11 She seems to have trouble with the fact that Anglo-Saxons are white, which makes her an antiwhite.

Hwaet? but neider of dem were wed, anly had samely weys. Angelfolc and Sacsens were split early on and anly grew clus in the 800s and efen den would hat demselfes Aenglisc. Lay on the Denes for dat. On Afterdought lay not on the Gardenes, dey be beadumoody.

Of course it’s ahistorical. Destroying history is the whole point.

I’ve recently discovered the existence of Æthelflæd and how little her contemporaries covered her life. Those biographers being male, monks, and we know women, apart from BVM are essentially bad as they caused man to sin, so how can you have an effective ruler who is a woman despite her father being Alfred. Now if she had been a boy it would have been obvious she was a brilliant ruler inheriting all her father’s abilities. OK, a broad brush swipe at the monastic chroniclers, but how many nuns wrote about women?! It seems like Æthelflæd put Gloucester, my home town, back on the map after its Roman period. It’s fun reading about her and discovering what is fact and what is conjecture. Certainly Henry of Huntingdon had the historical hots for her. O Elfleda potens, ô terror virgo virorum, O Elfleda potens, nomine digna viri. Te quóque splendidior fecit natura puellam, Te probitas fecit nomen habere viri. Te mutare decet sed solum nomina sexus, Tu regina potens rexque trophea parans. Iam nec Cæsareos tantum mirere triumphos, Cæsare splendidior virgo virago, vale.

@@Gwailo54 Oh THANK YOU!!!! I don't understand what you said about BVM ? being "essentially bad as they caused man to sin"?? You are very kind to take the time to write this to me. And the poem here! I will check some of the Latin. I don't know Henry of Huntington!! I will check him out!!! Thanks you, again! Joseph

I disagree. I think they see the real potential that historical research has to offer. Intersectionalism is what makes science "klick". You can't put the world in neatly separated fields that don't intersect with one another. Why should your research be that way? And btw I think usurped is a very unfitting word here. This Channel has beent that way a long time and, I believe, very much by design.

@@babubidadubi7514 if its been like this from the beginning then they duped us, cos the early stuff i watched wasnt like this. And spoken like a true intersectionalist. Lol

​@@babubidadubi7514 «Intersectionalism is what makes science "klick"» A post-modernist theory of overlapping grievances makes science "klick"? LUL. You must be high. History is not very scientific to begin with btw. It's a science only colloquially. The medievalists are scared shitless of being accused of white supremacy by their new political commissars because they are studying "white" (the most evil on earth) people's history. That's all the explanation one needs. Further down the line we will hear more ritualized self-flagellation and more unnecessary revisionist reinterpretations through the modern soc jus lens, because the people want to keep their jobs, sources of income, and don't feel or be perceived as evil.

I like these talks, but I agree it’s annoying to have to ignore whole chunks talking about whiteness and CoLonIaLiSm and how we ‘ruined the world’...... but I just have to ignore this side of things as the rest of the information is quite interesting

@@sirgonzoofrotherham236 If they want to talk about "diverse" topics, then why can't they talk about Africa in the Middle Ages? Ghana, Mali, Kanem-Bornu, Ethiopia, the Fatimid Caliphate, the Ayyubid and Mamluk Sultanates, the Almoravids and Almohads were all powerful kingdoms in the Middle Ages that were quite comparable to the Feudal states of Europe.

Could you explain exactly what you dont like about his work?
