Is Trump a fascist?
Is Trump a fascist? Will he end democracy in the United States? Will he impose an American dictatorship? Is the whole country going to crumble apart into a new dark age? With the inauguration on January 20, these are majorquestions whose answers are very important to this country and the entire planet, even if you think the answers are obvious. Now, I’m going to try to be as NEUTRAL, HONEST, and...
New Script: Red Germany
The Second World War was the most decisive thing that happened in the past century. But what if it went completely differently—what if Germany went in the opposite direction after the First World War? It almost did, which I’ll talk about in a second, but really, the only plausible way for a communist revolution to succeed in Germany is if the respectable German middle-class wasn’t as scared ...
What if America had different parties?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard about a little thing called the 2024 United States Presidential Election. The fate of the republic is at stake! Crazy plot twists abound—the incumbent president dropping out, a controversial foreign war, and every single Tweet scientifically designed by the best algorithms a billionaire can buy to utterly enrage me, singlehandedly...
New script! Hakim-Molotov-Ribbentrop
So, I’ve made a couple videos now on how right-wing YouTubers lie abouthistory, so I figured it’s time to talk about how one left-wing YouTuber lies about history. Let’s talk about Hakim, specifically his video on the German-Soviet Pact before the Second World War, which has a 100 thousand views:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FRmflmnTkcThis is What Why How, and that’s what the video’s ...
The United Monarchist Party of America DISSECTED
United Monarchist Party of AmericaSo, this is a bonus dissection of the United Monarchist Party of America’s platform for my supporters on Patreon (you).https://www.unitedmonarchistpartyofamerica.com/As far as I can tell, UMPA is not actually a legitimate political party in the United States. It seems to be run by one guy and it’s not especially widespread or known by other people, but it has ...
New video! Lavader DEBUNKED
Early preview for my patrons, thanks for the support!
New Script: Lavader Debunk on Monarchy
There is a worrying trend these days: people who unironically believe we should have a king. Not just a ceremonial monarch who waves a staff around and sits still for weird paintings, but a legitimate king with actual legitimate powers.Now, this is not a major trend, especially not in the United States of America. But in the Western World, including Europe, this strange fringe of the far-right is ...
Time Traveler's Guide to Becoming Roman Emperor
Imagine you were beamed right now back in time 2,000 years to the Roman Empire. Now, imagine you were the enterprising sort of individual and wished to become none other than Caesar Augustus, the Emperor of Rome. How would you do it? How did people become the emperor of Rome?Well, this is What Why How, and that’s what the video’s about. If you like this sort of thing, don’t forget to like an...
New script: President Sanders
What if Bernie won?No man has had more influence on American politics in the last 10 years, and not won the presidency, than Bernie Sanders. Senator Sanders of Vermont galvanized the progressive movement in the United States, popularizing policies that, today, define the Democratic Party and motivate everyone in my generation. And he did that while losing the Democratic primary for president twice...
New script! Did China discover America? 1421 Debunked

New (Extended) Script: Disunited States of America
What if America never unified?Today, America is the strongest country in the world. But this wasn’t inevitable. While people like to talk about the risk of the Civil War permanently dividing the union, a comparable time of crisis occurred in the late 1700s, after the Thirteen Colonies first got their independence from Britain.Back then, the nascent Union was seriously vulnerable. The federal gov...
Native America
New video! Waiting to upload to YouTube for sponsorship people, so here's an early release!
New script! Native America
What if the Native Americans won?Today, Native Americans make up less than 3% of the total population of the United States. They once made up the total, but after a wave of smallpox their numbers plummeted; next, Europeans colonized the shores and drove Native Americans into smaller and smaller reservations in wars of destruction.But this wasn’t inevitable. Even in real life, across Central and ...
Script: PaxTube DEBUNKED
PaxTube is a self-described “Catholic YouTuber and social critic” with about 100,000subscribers. His first video up on YouTube is “Why the US is NOT a nation of immigrants” followed promptly by “Why People Like Anime Girls.” His most popular video, with 2.5 million views—so, much bigger than Zoomer Historian—is “Why the Crusades Were Awesome Actually.” What a great first impres...

Future History of the 21st CenturySo, about a month ago I made a video roasting political scientist George Friedman for his zany geopolitical predictions of the coming century, which include Turkey, Japan, and Poland becoming great powers. A bunch of people requested I make my own predictions. So, here it is: this is What Why How, and that’s what the video’s about.If you like this sort of thin...
Almost done with next script: 21st Century
This is gonna be a big one — so far 17k words, so about the length of the Zoomer Historian debunk
Working on Script: Future History of the 21st Century
Let me know if you have any predictions!
Script: Next 100 Years by Friedman DEBUNKED
Predicting the future is really hard. If it was easy, then maybe America wouldn’t have invaded Iraq or Afghanistan—and the war-planners back then had warnings. But some people have tried to predict the future, including this book you might’ve heard of: The Next 100 Years, written the political scientist George Friedman in 2009. Now, if you haven’t noticed, the world is in a bit of turmoil,...
