I'm glad the minimum wage wasn't increased. It would make our fiat currency even more worthless. Increasing minimum wage without instituting price controls would have only increased inflation. It was a rare act of (self-serving to secure votes in Arizona) patriotism on the part of the former porn star, now an alleged Senator.

“No one can buy a house anymore, no one can afford rent anymore. We just spent two decades fighting wars that did nothing but scar our men and line war profiteer pockets, and everyone is eating poisonous food that keeps getting more expensive.

I once saw a video talking about world building, specifically on writing megacorps. One of the points he made was that it is incredibly difficult to convince someone to die for a paycheck, so a massive private army was illogical and would be doomed to fail. What I've learned in the years since is that you don't need to use money as the driving factor. Tell thousands of boys that they're fighting for their country, protecting their families, or "spreading democracy" and they'll kick in any door at your behest

"One of the points he made was that it is incredibly difficult to convince someone to die for a paycheck, so a massive private army was illogical and would be doomed to fail." And yet that's exactly what a professional standing army is, the etymology of the world soldier is literally that of the word mercenary, or a 'sold arm'. Then you have all the privateers and contractors like the conquistadors and the mountain men. Basically that statement is way off base, getting men to kill & *risk* death for a paycheck is actually pretty damn easy, why wouldn't it be? Death is certain in the long term anyway and certain in the short term without a paycheck regardless.

It's fascinating you brought up the Late Roman Republic. The Roman Republic after the Second Punic War was catapulted to become a super power of the Mediterranean World. Her Legions would be sent abroad more times and for longer than ever before. Slaves, loot from these military campaigns flowed into Rome. The Republic flourished. For some. The demise of the Roman Republic was brought about internally. The pieces that would bring the end of the Republic was born slowly in the post-Second Punic Wars era of Rome when it was riding high. Rome's borders and influence expanded to cover the Mediterranean World, the Legions conquered their way into our history books. Rome had never been so large, rich, and powerful. Yet the number of land owning Romans became less and less. Land owning Romans would be called into service, serve abroad, then return to find nothing. They were adrift with their family. They lost their farms to some rich guys that were buying out everything. It's kind of a big deal because traditionally, to be eligible for service in the Legions, you had to be a Roman citizen. *A land owning Roman citizen.* The kind of Roman citizen that became scarcer, yet Rome was sending her Legions out more frequently and for longer duration. What Gracchus was talking about with these soldiers and their families having nothing, wandering like ghosts... That was real. Gracchus tried to remedy this by distributing land so more Romans owned property to call their own and be part of the Republic once again, but he got assassinated by the rich and their butt buddies in the Senate. His brother tried to do the same thing and he got murdered, too. This problem wasn't being fixed, and the precedent of the Romans now resorting to assassination for internal politics opened the next set of doors that would lead to the fall of the Republic. Some guy named Marius recruited straight from the poor. HE paid them. Not the Republic, not the Senate. The new Legions raised were his. Paid by him, loyal to him. Not the Republic. He took care of them since the Republic would not do that itself. More assassinations would follow. Rich men raising personal armies, not the Senate. This was happening long before Julius Caesar came onto the scene. Ceasar wasn't the one to make the first stabs in the heart of the Roman Republic. That started long before him. The Roman Republic was in reality destroyed long before Augustus Caesar became the first Emperor. The Romans destroyed it themselves much earlier.

That closing momologue hits deep. Im 30, im never gonna own a house, i know that now, i'll never own land, ill never he granted a loan to go to college for a higher paying job and even if i did, i'll never pay it off. I eat poison and feel sick regularly, i cant afford to see a doctor and im gonna need to move again soon because sometime this year the rent is gonna go up again. All of this, while im working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. The people have never once in human history, failed the state. In every single instance, it has always been the state that fails the people.

I wrote a paper about how George Wallace, the horribly racist govenor of Alabama, and how he gained support because the media insulted the poor and uneducated, both political parties were moving away from the actually impoverished and relishing in turning American cities into desolate hell holes where only the uberly wealthy can survive in peace... and the Historian's reaction was the fact that George Wallace was literally Donald Trump. I cannot fathom a more milk toast response in my entire life, I presented a paper which all but told people when you treat people like shit they turn to the worst ideologies and violence and I was met with that response.

I know that it’s painful to see people act in that way sometimes- almost as if they forgot how to think critically. But don’t you think they have a reason to act like that? Hear me out. Our world is crumbling around us. Not just the foundations, but the idea of history and our sense of purpose- our countries are built on lies and exploitation. Isn’t that what your paper proves? When confronted by this, what do you expect people to do? They could see it, process it, remember it. But it won’t change anything. It won’t put their world back together. They’ll just be able to see more cracks. Turning a blind eye to the destruction of your history and society is obviously the wrong choice, but for most people they just want to live in a dream. Ignorance is bliss, and those people who can’t see what you’re truly trying to say, will never hear you. Because all their lives, they’ve just been blocking out and removing the cracks in their world, because it makes them feel unsafe. Take solace in the fact that you are correct, and you know the truth. But do not expect others to be so eager to learn. It’s not your fault, but it’s their nature to be content, and our nature is to learn. Not to make any offense, but maybe instead of being unhappy that the historian does not understand what you have found, be happy that you, someone, knows it at all, and that makes it important.

He was a better Marine than the Corps could handle, was my reading of him. Lots of fun anecdotes about him. When he was leaving the Philippines, some locals came up and showed him some IOUs his Marines had signed "George Washington" or "Uncle Sam" and the like. Butler knew his 50+ troops so well he recognized all their handwriting and made them pay up. While he was running Camp Pontanezen, Butler's superior lit up some young LT for some minor mistake in the mess hall. Butler personally walked into his superior's office and yelled at him for like 10 uninterrupted minutes. Slamming his desk with his fist, real biblical shit. Butler's superior respected Butler so much he gave the LT a public apology. I make videos about classical antiquity. Legends. Caesar, Alexander the Great, Augustus, and so on. None of them have impressed me as much as Butler.

Yeah, his video was extremely predictable trite that is easily debunked.

14:50 - It's not simply the great depression that had caused this issue. The US government would make the payments from the end of WW1 UNTIL 1945, with most people having their due dates closer to those later dates. And albeit having your entire life destroyed by physical and mental trauma caused by the greatest war in history (so far), these men were at the very least going to receive their money and they were sure it would be what it was promised to them because at the time the dollar was backed by gold. If the government told you you were getting 1000 USD, that had a real equal value in gold that would remain true regardless of when you received it. They were protected against inflation. But in 1932 the US government was in advanced talks about dropping the gold standard. Since their protection was the value of gold, removing that meant that whatever they would get in 1945 would be, at best case, the nominal value of what was promised to them in 1918, corroded by at least a full decade of inflation. I feel this is quite important, because it's one thing to think these veterans who put their lives on the line and suffered through the worst of the great depression, reached the brink and took a desperate measure to try and fix their lives. Another is to see that these veterans who put their lives on the line and suffered through the worst of the great depression, got swindled by the US government first when they got home after the war, and then again one decade later. These people gave everything they had, got nothing in return and were about to lose the little they were owed.

What happened when the US removed the gold standard and given permission to create all the money they wish out of thin air? FDR withdrew the dollar gold standard. Resultantly, the Federal Government grew by illegal leaps and bounds and the purchasing value of the dollar crumbled as the private bankers, including the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank, created trillions and trillions of dollars out of thin air. Today the US Dollar is worth only one or two percent of what it was worth before FDR (later NIXON) removed the gold standard and opened the flood gates of money printing! In 1787, colonial leaders assembled in Philadelphia to replace the ailing Articles of Confederation. As we saw earlier, both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were unalterably opposed to a privately-owned central bank. They had seen the problems caused by the Bank of England. They wanted nothing of it. As Jefferson later put it: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." To be sure, pursuant to the Constitution, it is illegal for Wall Street Bankers and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank to create money. But it does. As a direct result, the Federal Government has grown exponentially, the wars increased in size, scope and tempo; and, inflation the ultimate result: Neo-feudalism! Without a gold standard, the banks can counterfeit and the government has unlimited powers of spending (current US Government debt is $32 trillion and unfunded liabilities $220 trillion). All Wars are Bankers wars - To summarize Butler’s solution against the Wall Street Banking Terrorist creating endless wars: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket. We must take the profit out of war. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes. "Military Men Are Dumb, Stupid Animals To Be Used As Pawns For Foreign Policy." - Henry Kissinger

Well put together!

There was a long time that I was upset at myself for dropping out of school to start working full time to help around the house and felt like I ruined my future plans because I wanted to join the military after high school.

Polarisation has got to the point where something bad is going to happen no matter who it’s for.

People are so sick of the system they have that they won’t even stand for a new one, even if it benefits them. Overall, the point is that the US is at place where, if their constitution and social structure breaks down, there is absolutely no assurance that anything will rise in it’s place.

We already have big businesses bribing influential politicians to turn a blind eye to their activities, proven cases of governments funding rebel groups for their own interests, corporations with enough power to exert their influence over an entire nation or even several, etc. With their abundant resources, would it be so hard for, lets say, an oil corporation to fund some 'eco-extrem1sts" to to sabotage some of their equipment or maybe even vandalize priceless museum artifacts, before publicizing it to create a negative image of environmentalism that will dissuade people from pushing back against them and keep their fossil fuel business running and profitable?

I am very impressed you brought up the issue of land reform in ancient Rome, it's so rarely mentioned how big of a factor that was in the fall of the Republic. It literally lies at the heart of everything. The Roman army, pre-Marian reforms, was a levy army comprised of land owners. Too serve in the army you had to be a land owner and own a certain amount of land, it wasn't a profession it was a duty and a privilege. But as more and more land got bought up and there were fewer and fewer land owners the Romans had to keep lowering the land requirements in order to keep their military going until eventually they got their asses kicked by the Cimbri and were struggling to replenish their army. This as opposed to the Roman army of the Punic wars that could lose whole armies and navies and just keep coming back, that's how strong the Roman middle class was. But as Hannibal was burning everything he could in Italy those small farmers had to sell their lands when they came home after the war, which started or at least accelerated land consolidation. As a response to this problem and their defeat the Romans adopted the Marian reforms, lifting land requirements entirely and making the position of a soldier into a profession. Rome would now have a professional, standing, salaried army. Armies more loyal to their generals than to the republic. This directly led to the fall of the Republic, the rise of the Empire, the constant civil wars, all of it can be tied back to this single issue. And what did soldiers get at the end of their service? Land.

Tacitus, paraphrasing the words of a demagogue who stirred the Illyrian legions to revolt during Tiberius' reign (that was later defused by Drusus), said that the land received was some worthless provincial bog, and the soldier was too old and worn out to make much of it by the time he was allowed to retire. It does seem to be a form of indirect wealth redistribution. Rather than break up the latifundia, ruining crop yields in the process, they were instead taxed to pay soldiers. But since the soldiers no longer had ties to anyone besides their comrades and the urban rabble they were recruited from, they simply banded together to extort the state for more money whenever the leadership let them, or failed to stop them.

What I find to be inexcusable is pretending one side was perfect when many impressionable people reading the book might actually believe it. It’s disproving one myth only to push another.

As a Marine Corps vet, I applaud your commentary on Smedley Butler. People often discount servicemen as less intelligent than the average citizen, but some of the greatest minds in American history have come from the humble beginnings of the enlisted. Their thoughts and ideas often discredited by peoples assumptions of them based on their career path. Another great American warning us of these same follies was Dwight D. Eisenhower. Im shocked at some of the things our military members do to their own veterans. Like the WW1 vets who were chased out of D.C. for protesting their mistreatment after their service, by the very same people who would soon be in their shoes. A grim foreshadowing of what was to come for them.

Learned about smedley butler in boot camp they only talk about his medals of honor 😂

What the country needs is anti corruption laws. Like politicians aren't allowed to own stocks. Our politicians are mostly focused on increasing their personal wealth. We don't have proper representation anymore, Idon't think most politicians can relate to a good part of the population. They vote to increase their pay but not minimum wage.The game monopoly was originally showing how capitalism, unchecked would cause issues. Not enough people are willing to learn history. Hopefully things improve.

The ending made me like your channel even more than I already did, if that is even possible. Bravo.

But the losses of the Punic War wiped out this class (they lost 50k at Cannae in the 2nd Punic War) and Marius couldn’t have an army without people and thus his reforms were allowed. Their model worked when the republic was a regional land power, not so much as masters of the Mediterranean. And the Social War brought a large middle class to Citizenship which eventually allowed Rome to field massive forces.

There’s nothing I love more then a warm chobani perfect peach cobbler to go with my Sunday morning at my job. Listening to America’s (almost) Caesar takeover in my ear while I work is the best.

I've always heard about how Fascists attempted to take over the US before the outbreak of WW2, but never actually donated time to research it. Thank you for this, very educational

Have a listen to the podcast "Ultra", it's fantastic at detailing how a literal agent of the Third Reich was influencing US politicians in the lead up to WW2.

You should learn from video. Thats it

i made 7.50 working at a mcdonald’s in mississippi in 2020 at the start of covid most places you look now here in ms bottom out around $10 at least where i am, but i can distincitly remember most places offering 7.25 here until 2022. we’re the poorest state by far and it’s not without reason. i found this to be a very powerful video. binging your channel for the last week has really changed my mind on many subjects especially in regard to socialism. and if any state truly needs proper socialism, it’s mississippi. 1/3 of our people live on welfare, and well more than that live in squalor and bleak poverty including that 1/3. i love my state but our issues are glaring, and we need help.

Hello Mr. Cobbler I also discovered that Tim Elliot article while researching my Honor thesis for Undergraduate, and I am so happy you gave your thoughts on it as I found the same problems with it. Yet, for me, it is a perfect source because my thesis (which is weird because I dislike it), my thesis is not on Rome or politics but rather on the ways we understand and view the past from a viewpoint that by necessity is present temporarily and ideologically. In particular, it is about how we construct the past with the help and at times complete reliance upon Historical Fiction. In other words, how much of history happened, versus how much of it was fabricated, and whether or not that even matters? Historiography is as much a narrative as a novel, and when done poorly historiography can be less trustworthy than well-researched fiction, etc. Anyway, my thesis just happens to focus on how our contemporary conceptions of Julius Caesar are created, so I just happened to find this article, and Oh boy is it a perfect source of how history becomes fiction and then fiction becomes a cultural symbol. Caesar and his assassination/ the Ides of March (which is famously and heavily understood through the Shakespeare play "Julius Caesar", because the American school system is the way it is) has become a symbol of political upheaval and in some ways just a name you use to call someone "bad" for "democracy", both words being very subjectively understood. Of course that is a basic overview of many months of research, however, I do want to say thank you for discussing this article which also gave me a headache as you have allowed me to really grasp it better. It was a pleasant surprise. P.S If you read this. Please keep this up, you will be the only content creator that will get me through postgraduate!

They way I understand it now, after years of methodically studying history, is that teachers, both highschool and university, teach history via presentism, and not through the lens in which the past existed, i.e. the past. I will always remember the quote, though I do not know where it came from, that "the past is like a foreign country, they do things differently there."
