One could also argue that history cannot repeat, because the conditions that created a past historical event never have to arise again. I would say history is important to know how we got here, rather than extrapolate for the future--an inherently speculative proposition.

Surprised it lasted this long

To be fair, while things are predictable, it's all about when. Random events strike at the heart of everything. You can track back our entire world history to the most recent random event. The extreme weather events of 536. This random event was what thawed out a long forgotten disease that ravaged the Hunnic peoples. A disease that would spread from Central Asia to India to the Swahili Coast, to Lake Victoria, down the Nile and into port city of Pelusium. This disease was the Bubonic Plague, and it went on to weaken the Byzantine and Persian Empires, during which time a mass migration of Abrahamic ideals fled into the remote areas of the world, including Arabia, where an oppressed people group would unite under a new interpretation of this Abrahamic faith, Islam, and would begin to ravage both empires in their weakened state, leading to balance of power shifting away from the Balkans and Anatolia into the heart of Europe, where Christianity became a more radicalised faith once Orthodoxy was diminished. This caused the Crusades, as radical Christians attempted to retake their holy city of Jerusalem, and in the process damaging the Byzantines further until they were conquered by the very forces they repeatedly tried to crush. With Constantinople in Islamic control, Christians had to find an alternate route to trade with Asia to avoid paying a costly tax, leading to experimental ideas of circumnavigating the Earth to find Asia by going the other way, discovering America. Instead of finding a route to Asia, Europeans found more valuable resources to trade with Asia, worth paying the Ottoman's tax. Colonisation boomed, shortly followed by industrialisation to deal with all these new resources and economic prosperity. Then the Americas did something funny, it developed. It revolted, an ideology which also spread to France and lead to the dismantling of the HRE, hugely shifting the balance of Europe. Anyway, Europe learnt their lesson from America, they would not be so inclined to develop 'savages' again, but with their new industrialised technology, were able to conquer Africa's heartland, and so the Scramble for Africa began. This economic prosperity also freed up the great thinkers of the time, Religion was reformed, and the German language was created. France's dismantling of the HRE only made them into a stronger more cohesive German Empire. These colonial empires were too strong for the once great Ottoman Empire to compete with, they suffered economically and the European powers supported European control in the Balkans, the Ottomans receded and... a Serbian shot the Archduke of Austria. World War 1, Germany loses and it is angry. It rebuilds, it reinvents itself. World War 2 and it loses again, but this time it's not Europe in the spotlight, it's the new dominant ideologies that came out of the Industrial era economic thinkers, capitalism and communism, America and the Soviet Union. The Cold War had begun, and had started hitting countries all over the world in Proxy Wars. Korea, Vietnam, Mozambique, Cuba, Turkey, the Middle East.... When the Cold War was over, the effects of it weren't. US supplied anti-communist insurgency groups sprang up in the Arab heartlands. 9/11 happened. And the world shifted again. With America as the dominant power with no competitor, it enforced its doctrine everywhere. America would not let a 9/11 scenario happen again. China didn't accept this new American world order, and challenges it today. Everything changed, because of one, _one_ random event, from nearly 1,500 years ago. Do not discount the effect Random still has on our world's history.

Sorry. but the most common excuse I get from my students is that they were gaming into the morning, not that they were doing their homework. (At least they're honest.)

As a student of public education (not anymore), I played games rather than do homework, same with all of my friends (in fact it's the most common reason of why they stay up), but then again I was smart enough to actually learn in class and pay attention to have extra time in lunch and class to do homework... It's not really that hard, no amount of homework, except maybe AP classes, should take all night.

​@Dr. M. H. Yeah, I kind of had a sense of the positions stated in this section, and I am just tired of students (myself early on in school [elementary] included) using the 'Homework is making me tired', and using it as an attempt of being said to be brainwashed is just disgusting. I won't deny that the schools has a bias towards one political side (generally), but it depends on the states, and often times the specific schools and districts. It is not really that hard to do your work in school, it's all the social elements of school that lowers the productivity, especially on useless conversations. I highly recommend kids to pay attention instead of laughing and talking to each other while the teacher is talking or when students should be focusing, as then it tends to become very easy. (Going off of a presumed position of "Since, you know, sleep deprivation is a major part of the brainwashing process. ", since I have been hearing some large conspiracies in the recent days). Of course, I remain firm that in-person schooling is infinitely easier to learn than at home, for many reasons, science backing this statement. Anywhom! Enough ranting, thank you for teaching (if you are a teacher). And good luck in these times to all.

In the '70's, I got through high school with a B+ average, investing less than 5 minutes of homework per night, on average. From observing my grandchildren and those of others, I have seen that the extreme overburden of homework today is government-mandated for social reasons, and results in kids who end up much, much dumber than we were.

@@dudleyowens The homework is not actually overburdening, kids get it done in school all the time, it's merely the kids who refuse to put effort in it that struggles with it, either because they are addicted to games, social media, or social interaction, or they just are plain lazy. If you find Homework to be brainwashing, I cannot wait to see what you find college.

As someone who is 37, I can tell you that you have lived your whole life in an age of technology. I am also considered a millennial but there are 2 types of millennials; those who lived before technology(well, widespread technology anyways) and grew into the age of tech and those who were born into the age of widespread technology. I remember when caller id first started coming out. I used rotary phones throughout my childhood. I remember when pagers came into being and when cell phones started to permeate into society. I remember when computers started being bought by normal citizens(albeit these were commonplace in wealthy households only for some years) and remember having to make collect calls to your parents to pick you up while gaming the system to avoid any charges. I remember when Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis came out and blew our minds.... then when Playstation came out and changed the entire world of gaming. I also remember when having a 26 inch TV meant you were moving up in the world even though it weighed 150 pounds. I remember when DVD's came out and you could finally pause a movie during that brief moment when bare breasts were shown(that was a HUGE upgrade from VHS). Speaking of VHS, I remember having to program those for my parents and grandparents to record shows because it wasn't an easy feat for those who lives their whole lives with the biggest technological advance was a calculator that didn't need batteries due to a solar cell powering them. I will stop now but I honestly could go for hours and hours. I share this experience with every single person older than me but those who are roughly 30 years old or younger can't really appreciate the new technology age the way older people did.

So you feel like an ancient old man, instead of just a lazy idiot? JK BTW.

Technology has given ppl the power to be rude to one another . Its amazing how crazy ppl talk to each other behind a screen. It's like most ppl forget who they even are and have a different persona online vs. In reality. You just couldn't go around in person a.k.a " real life" ,calling everyone a dumbass that you don't agree with and not expect for someone to eventually knock your teeth out. Also, technology has caused or added to depression. Ppl get on social media platforms and start comparing their lives to ppl, when in reality their lives may not be much better and a good possible they may be putting on a show for folks to be envious of them.

@Aristocles: I believe that the primary reason for the increase in school shootings is due to the rise of secular humanism and the removal of prayer from the public schools along with any teaching of ethics and morals. I also think that a decline in church attendance is another major contributing factor. If parents and schools fail to teach morality, then juvenile delinquency or even school shootings can be the result.

The issue with mass shootings is overblown anyway, to a certain extent. Of course they’re bad, but they make up a minuscule percentage of murders, so small, it barely even registers and the truth is, the U.S. is much safer than it was in previous decades.

Yeah, coughs in Neoliberalism and Neocolonialism smh

@Luís Filipe Andrade American Hegemony didn't collapse. They gave it away to a country - amongst many btw - with a long cultural memory of the effects of European and American imperialism the first time around. When they gave into the necessity of improving the lot of their people, they also recognised the dangers. After all, look what happened in Russia after the fall of the USSR? They couldn't afford to take that risk, with the largest population on earth. State capitalism, within a sealed economy rather than open market capitalism would ensure that the CCP could retain control, and prevent most of the downsides to free market capitalism. Of course, the American oligarchs never envisaged this strategy when China opened itself to the West. The assumption was that Hong Kong would influence the mainland rather than the other way round. They envisaged more profits selling to a large population, and exploiting the low cost of labour to their benefit. What motivated them to think this way? Greed. They had effectively taken over the political game in America but, the demands of workers in the US would be a drag on profits for the emerging digital revolution. They had to reduce their dependence on Western workers to cut costs. Moving manufacturing to low cost China would in turn give them more control of labour at home. By declawing the unions, and disciplining labour at home, it allowed them to promise better living standards at lower cost, and newer and better jobs in the new digital economy to make up for the loss of the old dirty jobs. As we now know, that promise was never kept. Instead, workers are less free, less well off, less secure and more chained to their employers than ever. China was more sceptical and perhaps rightly so.

2020: conservatives and republicans win the largest landslide election in US history as nearly 70% of the votes are in favor of protecting themselves from leftist ideology, the consequences of which are aired by the media from now until election day. Leftist riots increase exponentially in the months before the second inauguration of President Trump, carried on in response by many liberal media outlets looking for "evidence" to prove an "illegitimate election." Mobs trash stores on Black Friday, and looting and rioting turns into witchunting conservatives in liberal strongholds, where even rumors of street level summary executions taking place by anonymous leftist gangs out for revenge as some leftist miltias outright call for a revolution in California. Democratic-led cities burn across America, and become centers of disease, crime, poverty, suicide, and depression as more conservative residents and business owners flee to rural areas. California attempts to pass a resolution to secede from the Union, passes with 52% of the vote in the legislature, but quickly loses momentum when leftist revolutionary mobs burn down the capitol in Sacramento in January 2021 in an effort to "purge" the state from any conservative opposition. 2021: President Trump inaugurated for 2nd term in the most heavily fortified event at the D.C. Capitol when shots can be heard firing in the background as several leftist gangs send "suicide" gunman to terrorize the inauguration, and attempt to get a shot at the President. Martial law is eventually declared in parts of California, as several National Guard units are called up to restore order. Vaccine is developed and proven successful, however the virus has already mutated itself to irrelevancy by March 2021. Only vulnerable Americans opt to take the vaccine. 2022: China tests America's resolve by stationing their fleet "HQ" and fleetpower in the East China Sea, threatening to exercise its sovereignty by demanding all ships in the area to comply with its sovereignty. The U.S. sends a single destroyer to escort a minor country's merchant vessel. China accuses the minor vessel as spying for the United States. Crisis comes to a head when warning shots are fired, but steady resolve eventually has the escort complete its mission and the merchant vessel passing through without further incident. Global trade reroutes away from South China Sea. 2023: SpaceX, Boeing, and BlueOrigin ramp up their space race to the moon, with two of these companies making an orbit around the moon by the end of the year. 2024: Things return to normal. The Democratic party has been reorganized, as leftist elements are purged from its roster in response to the ghastly atrocities committed. Leftist rogues go underground. America begins to lean more conservative for the next 30 years as three more justices are added by this time cementing conservative viewpoints on the bench for the next 15-40 years. Abortion is outlawed in all but extreme cases of medically certified necessity wherein the life of the mother is determined by a doctor to be at risk, which such decisions being reviewed post-operatively by the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure compliance with the law. 2026: China demands Taiwan to submit to the basing of its forces to ensure South China Sea "security". The US objects, and the new republican president appeals to the UN to bring the world against China. Russia vetoes UN resolutions, and China brings its first ships into Tawain's landing areas. The US, not wanting to go to war with China, cuts off all diplomatic ties with China, but refuses to sign a defense pact with Tawain. Taiwanese evacuations to Guam, and other US territories begins in earnest. By December 2026, Taiwan falls with out a shot, to Chinese governmental agents. 2028: Chinese aggression comes to a head when it confronts Australia for the right to secure the south pacific. Australia objects to human rights abuses by China, and China responds by blockading trade passing through the Pacfic to China. The US president sends in the 5th Fleet to break the blockade. China responds by attacking US satellites. US Space Force responds by destroying every single Chinese and Chinese allied satellites, including Russian satellites (with promises to Russia to provide for their replacement). Russia cuts all diplomatic ties with the US, and China and the US engage in a limited war of live fire engagements along the South China Sea, cyber attacks, and drone attacks that lead to the first aerial drone dogfights in history. The blockade continues but trade ships pass through under American escort for many months. 2029: War with China has caused the first casualties, an American destroyer sunk by a Chinese submarine, and fight escorts downed by Chinese anti-aircraft missiles stationed at islands in the South China Sea. America retaliates with a direct attack on the base of operations of the blockade. China retaliates by bombing an Australian naval base, and launching missiles at US ships that are downed or miss their targets. 2030: China declares the right to annex disputed Japenese posessions, and threatens to invade South Korea if the US intervenes. 2031: China invades South Korea through North Korea, the 2nd Korean War begins, also known as the Chinese-American War - a non-nuclear engagement of US Allies vs China's military and vast manpower.

The absorption of Hong Kong and then finally Taiwan, will be the fuel and catalyst to make it economically expedient to do so, and the masses will demand it as there were no longer be any true American "threat" to their imagined Pacific supremacy, proven by a rather peaceful American withdraw of Tawainese from the island and no prophesied major conflict with the US arising. Even the war over Pacific trade and later over Korea will be limited in scope and not arouse national pride in China, and if anything will be devastating to North Korea, and a Chinese citizenry weary of broken promises in exchange for their support of a government that increasingly limits their economic choices and freedoms. The pressure built up to fight someone or something big will turn inward - on the very government denying them their capital goods, and who have caused and exacerbated their economic mess. The day China wakes up from its propaganda-induced anti-American stupor, is the day Communist China falls. June 2040. It's also the day conservatism in America will reach its peak, with liberalism making a comeback to 1990 levels by the year 2064. The first Democratic party (possibly a renamed party) president will be elected to office only then, after nearly 40 years of Republican domination.

If America falls, European countries will have to decide whether to continue to have their social programs and possibly get steam rolled by Russia or sacrifice their social programs to re-arm themselves to hold Russia back. Europe won't have America to save them anymore in that scenario.

I think his bias against Marx/Communism to be a bit much. While Communism failed for many reasons, Central planning logistics being a big reason, dismissal of Marx's criticisms especially in Capital is very short sighted.

@@haroldgraphene He doesn't fully understand the difference between Marxism and Communism, which honesty is fine, as I do agree with his analysis on why it is so popular

@Estex It is, but that's because it's made for an American audience. And it's not overwhelming or anything, moreso it's just focused on America, while using using other nations to prove his points

@Estex He stated that these topics could've been done more justice, which is true. But I don't think his claim is unreasonable (though I am American myself, so I am unaware of the true situation in Europe), as most European nations do spend a relatively small percentage of GDP on militaries, and, due to the nature of the Euro, increased debt spending is unfeasable, so other programs must be cut. I have no doubts of the ability for a united EU to defend itself, but the states would have to sacrifice much of their social safety nets in order to maintain the same amount of defense spending as they would have with American support.

@Estex Fair enough. I will agree, that American military spending being cut isn't the worst idea. That being said, much of the military spending of the US goes into research, allowing other countries to see the benefits of American military technology at a low cost. Germany, as far as I am aware, however, has a relatively lean social security net by European standards, so effects of a significantly reduced US military precense would likely be more severe for other EU and NATO member states

@@anotherliluselessshit1402 I think he means artists, or autistics. Haha.

Social bonds are stronger back then, but limited to the place we "walk through" to create the bond. Now the bonds are weakend but we could form a new social bound almost without any limit. So yeah, there is a Pros and Cons.

There are nearly 8 billion human beings now alive simultaneously on the planet Earth. That's a new thing under the sun. Or over the sun, considering our planet's gravitic relationship to it.

@@alsyrriad yea. As someone doing A-level (essentially the British equivalent of college degree) applied Business studies, I have learned a decent amount about logistics. It's always been, not just *a* problem, but *the* problem. You can increase food production, you can make everything else super efficient. you can limit people's rations. But unless your beaurocracy and logistics are efficient (and they *NEVER* are), you're never gonna be able to do things like ending world hunger or the like. Believe it or not, the most efficient logistical systems tend to come out of meritocratic societies, like those of Mongolia.

That's why the British empire needed Chinese labors in the logistics, which has grown rapidly.

@@idcgaming518 Meritocratic, Im guessing a societal system based on contribution and achievement?

@@idcgaming518 since when were A-levels ‘essentially the equivalent of an American college degree?’ I’m pretty sure we would just say university degree lmao

For the majority of human history humanity has advanced, so as long as we don't go nuclear, life may get hard, but humans will move past it

I never thought of that... and when you think about it your kinda correct the West is kinda in shock because we know we are in the decline and people don’t know how to confront the problems

@@MrHistory269 I wouldn't say decline but rather its fast exposure to world events through social media, so it makes the world look like it cracked, but as the video showed its not even near the worst year.

That's interesting

@@MrHistory269 yeah

Nah man i can assure you that many people realise even here in south asia that we are in surreal and devastating times. Its just that we too think these thoughts are bizzare af so most people dont say it openly. But i personally have a convo with any stranger i meet and I'm pretty sure many older gens think the same way as everyone that watched this vid.

I don’t think China can become a super power. But it can cause a long period of chaos as it tries to be. I don’t think China can afford to become a super power since it will be dealing with its own internal problems in the future.

Actually, anything I say is a religion because I have no idea what religion or social justice means. Conservatism is a religion, this youtube channel is a religion and you are it's followers

@Boots Jew You think social justice people ask for equality and righteousness? Dont make me laugh The last thing they want is equality between people, be between men and women or whites and blacks They want none of it And righteousness? Really? Because last time I checked SJWs claimed there's no morality and concepts such as right & wrong are relative, believing such notions are supersticious and dogmatic and we should get rid of it No sir, the positivist religion of these people is completely opposed to both equality and righteousness

@The Nova renaissance I like how you can just make up whatever facts you want. Since you don't know what religion or social justice is here is a great starter I'm sure you can learn from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice Can you find me where it says "there is a universal truth, there is always an oppressed group and an oppressor group" Also since we're making things up yes there is a universal truth to conservatism, there must always be a hierarchy with certain people belonging on top of others. This is true regardless of culture, therefor according to you conservatism is a religion.
