It's about the USA, so yes our oddities are weird to the rest of the world, just like any country. and yes there is a left right element to our ideas of food and even exercise, with the left being more tied to aerobics and the right more into strength training. It's hyperbolic but like a lot of his videos, there's usually some degree of truth in it. Not saying that the points are overall correct.

Is that not the same elsewhere? Here in Canada there's a small but clear trend that left-voting people tend to be more intentional with self-care and personal health in general. The big factor driving that being that left-leaning tend to be more educated and more financially successful so they can afford the 'acai' and 'kale' over White bread and potatoes. Like its a very apparent trend in my country and I suspect it would be for pretty much all developed economies.

This is what happens when people who think the world/geopolitics work like their Paradox Interactive games.

HOI4 is the worst political education you could get, and there's a scary amount of 15 year olds who think that everything they see in HOI4 (mods especially) is applicable to real life.

These abstract reasons for going to war are famously used by those in power to manipulate young men into fighting for nothing, and famously paper-thin in the face of real horror. On the other hand… the dude is completely oblivious to the fact that when their existence are on the line, gender queer people of color are not only perfectly capable, but down right ferocious about fighting for themselves. Band of Thebes, buffalo solders, Tuskegee airmen, code talkers. The guy claim to be a historian yet seriously operates under the assumption that straight white dudes are the pinnacle of martial prowess, and wars are won by whichever side with the most honor, god, country and straight white dudes.

Like, half his arguments keep getting back to his weird-ass grievances with how young men aren't laying pipe enough, and how you shouldn't mess with right wingers. Take that in conjunction with the fact that he is ironically what he describes leftists to be: out of touch with the nature warfare. He describes it like it's goddamn Fire Emblem or something and not a serious, complex set of affairs due to political circumstances far beyond "women won't fuck me." It feels like he's just trying to convince himself that he'd totally be a badass if/when the need arises, in part because he's a member of the in-group that wins (alienated, young men, right wingers, etc.) It's an idle fantasy that is hilariously uninformed on what a war looks like. TL;DR Homeboy ain't really about it. Maybe encourage him to touch grass and view women as more than a personal conquest, and he might be a bit more normal.

@@Bobisproud I am Ukrainian, and a nationalist, although I enjoy learning about other points of view. Yes, it does strike me as strange that American far right is so hateful to other groups, even decent and respectful individuals of those groups. They do not just make jokes for fun, or have a sense of humour about, say, different ethnic groups; it is genuine hate, always. And they do not tolerate any dissent at all. The oblast my family is from is statistically 100% religious, 0% atheist or irreligious according to the census. But we don't beat up people for being gay (if it happens, it's a crime), we have Indians and Nigerians living peacefully and integrated, and there's nothing wrong with a woman owning a business (my fiancee, for example, runs a document processing business). To many American KZreadrs on the right, us accepting these things makes us leftist degenerates, even when we are are quite proud nationalists, and personally very religious. Also, how do they expect a nation to be healthy and traditionalist, when they love AI replacing artists and musicians, when they love profit and efficiency so much that there will be none of the "classical western culture" they claim to love?

I think this comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the original theory that said womenless men cause political violence. They aren't consciously going "Me horny, you horny, we together go take women for us." The original theory is more like "Disaffected young men without prospects for economic and familial fulfillment project their dissatisfaction onto political and economic arrangements, and become either violent criminals or militants who have no desire to keep the system running and rather typically desire to tear it down." I think this theory actually holds a lot of water. Look at who terrorist groups recruit for suicide bombings. A suicide bomber isn't doing it to get women (except maybe 72 virgins in heaven if you believe the meme), he's doing it because he hates something that wronged him or his family so much he'll give up his life just to help destroy it. So maybe your brothers would never join a roving band of rapists, but they might join a militant group that seeks to overthrow the government and society they see as unjust and corrupt.

To then smear their opponents on "the left" as proponents of "identity politics". Honey, modern capitalism is by design atomising the market and turning everything into a consumer product, including "culture" and politics, making us tribal against each other without realising the actual barrier to our material advancement is the system itself.

Always remember that when an american talks about "the left" what they mean is "everything left of the extreme far right". The vast majority of people in this country see the modern democratic party as a left wing party, and they advertise themselves as such too- purely because they are left of the modern republican party (which moves further to the right every year). Whenever people want to talk about the _actual_ left they tend to use the word "progressive" or talk about "progressivism" (which exists as a small faction within the democratic party because they have literally nowhere else to go). The words "liberal" and "conservative" have different meanings here as well; specifically, "liberal" means "democrat" and "conservative" means "republican". Here when people want to talk about real liberals they will say "libertarian" (which you will mostly find within the republican party). Be sure to translate these words before attempting to understand wtf an american is talking about, because most of us are using them completely wrong.

We would (potentially) balkanize into hundreds of factions, because there are so many different groups of people looking out for themselves from different geographical regions, with different problems and solutions. Solutions in Louisiana probably won't show up in Washington state because they simply have different problems going on. Geography determines history, and people seem to forget just how massive and diverse the geography of the United States is. We have deserts, mountains, Mediterranean forests, coniferous forests, deciduous forests, great plains, great lakes, fuckin hundreds of rivers, swamps, rolling hills, and the list goes on and on.

I partially agree. here's a comment I made about it before I saw yours. As someone from a military family, the right-left argument isn't a good one for how US Federal troops will side in a civil war. One of the effects of the intense military propaganda is that many servicemembers do believe that their service is for the citizens of America. if one faction is seen as being anti-Constitution or oppressive to the citizenry, large portions of the US military will not side with that faction, regardless of other political or religious ideologies. State militaries (national guard) are much more likely to be ideologically aligned with the state government for various reasons including more members being part time locals. If faced with federal troops though, the NG would almost certainly immediately surrender when faced with the superiorly equipped units who helped train them. A piece of evidence that I believe supports this idea of a hidden fault line in the federal military is two statements made by the Pentagon during the height of the 2020 protests. The first was that they would not send troops to support state police and NG and that their commitment is to defending the Constitution and American citizens, the second was ordering police and Guardsmen to wear identifying unit patches so they would not be mistaken for federal troops. Both of these things are normal positions for the federal military so the significance is that this was stated again publicly. I read it as supporting the protestors more than the cops even if slightly. There is a possibility that a second US civil war has one of the strangest timelines, where factions fight each other up until the federal troops show up at which point both sides just stop fighting.

"Realistically", any civil war would be entirely rooted in the particular economic, social and cultural conditions of its time. That said, the idea that the USA would shatter like glass is nonsense. All polities survive by cultivating loyalty in their members. The polity exists because enough people with power want it to continue existing. For as polarized and hostile as US political discourse has become, there are still a whole lot of people who see themselves as "Americans". And those people would rather the USA continued existing as a united polity. Thus, in any outbreak of civil war, you're far more likely to see large blocs of Americans clinging together, out of a desire to maintain the status quo. That's what happened with the Romans. Being considered "Roman" was a civic matter, not an ethnic one. A person was a Roman because the Roman state said they were a Roman citizen. The same way one is an American because the federal government of the USA says they're an American citizen. And the Roman Republic and Empire suffered *multiple* civil wars, that would have brought any other empire to its knees. But the Roman state did well to maintain a citizenry who wore their civic status with pride. A citizenry *that really wanted the empire to keep existing.* That's how the Roman state survived so much turmoil: there were always enough people who wanted it to survive. Right to the bitter end, and even afterwards - that's partly why so many of the post-Roman states in Europe claimed to be Roman successors. It helped the leftover Roman citizenry accept their new overlords. Because that's how states die - when they run out people who want the state to exist. In every state, there are always people who want out. And they will wait, patiently or otherwise, for any sign of weakness. When the state finally falters, they will rise and fight for their freedom. Which will weaken the state even further, and may prompt more rebellions. Maintaining a loyal citizenry is the highest priority of any state. And for all its many, many faults, I believe the USA has done an *incredibly good* job of building a loyal citizenry. If America ever collapses, I firmly believe the Americans will go down biting, kicking and screaming, just like the Romans before them.

The line “the nation is more polarized than ever” falls apart even if you exclude the Civil War because in the build up to the civil war (the era these people want to claim we’re in) a congressman was beaten half to death by another congressman on the house floor. Armed militias were engaging in Guerilla warfare in Kansas. Military administrators from southern states were clandestinely rerouting military supplies to southern forts. Like we are nowhere close to the level of polarization that the US was at in the prelude to the civil war. If you want a more apt comparison I think it’s fair to say the country is more polarized than it’s been since the Vietnam War which is still significant without being an ahistorical exaggeration

Whatifalthist strikes me as that guy who was the smartest kid in his high school history class and spent much of his youth playing strategy games, but never really grew out of his pseudointellectual phase because he hasn't spent much time in the real world, and holds onto a very surface level understanding of politics and the world at large because he's never actually been challenged and forced to think critically about his biases. His politics are akin to a lot of the "classical liberals" you've seen popping up in the online right in recent years, which is really just boomer conservatism rebranded for zoomers, in that it seeks to maintain things at an arbitrary point in time while it lags only a decade or two behind progressivism, and views even incremental social progress as a sign of the end times. I remember he had a debate with Vaush wherein he claimed that civil rights and the abolition of slavery were natural byproducts of (Christian) liberalism, but things like wokness and "trans ideology" were not. I think the biggest handicap for mainstream conservatives in the west is their habit of conspiratorial thinking, where everything they like about society is proof of their ideological superiority, and everything else is the work of shadowy infiltrators (usually in academia, where conservatives usually can't hack it).

I hate the argument that in a potential civil war the Republicans would win simply because of sheer landmass, a potential civil war would likely end up somewhere close to being like the first war where the South would fight against larger more well equipped forces because most, get this, the US coastline is home to some of the most populated cities with larger ports and industrial sectors while the more republican areas are home to large fields suited for cattle and agriculture.

Any potential for larger resistance was suppressed from the get-go by nipping the bud, aka. purging the SA leadership or imprisoning the left-wing radicals. The amount of Germans in prison in the 1930's was measured in just tens of thousands, of which most were "rehabilitated" by the time Hitler invaded Poland. Stalin on the other hand purged millions and put a million in gulags, for the sole virtue of being suspected for undermining the communist rule. This, of course, does not account for Holocaust or the genocide of minorities, but they were considered to be the "others" and not part of the German majority.

I'm somewhat surprised and glad that at no point did Whatifalthist not bother pointing out that Mexico a country that's next to America spent it's first century as an independent nation meandering from one disastrous civil war into another before climaxing at the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It had many splintering factions, a genuine split between the urbanites and rurals, a military that for the most part supported the junta during the preamble, and you know how conservative Mexico is along with it's low gun ownership among the civilians. Basically Whatifalthists wet dream. The Junta and conservatives were practically the first factions that both were circle beaten to oblivion before the revolutionary war entered the next phase as the Leftists from the city(Corranzas government) and the Rural peasant revolutionaries couldn't reconcile their differences and dragged the war out for another half a decade. Culminating in a sort of compromise government of leftism and some old guard conservative(PRI). That held power until the mid 1990's. Certainly not the dream scenario of rural conservatives beating down the soyboy city folk because it never worked like that. America got luck that their civil war was relatively organized and the Federal government remained cohesive throughout the war, they shouldn't count on that being the case if a round 2 happens.
