    2:26:11 this is honestly the part i disagree with you the most on, if the conspiracy is to cover up other peoples involvement muddying the water as much as possible is probably the best way to go about it so that no one story can be pinned down and even if someone were to land on the correct one by chance it would be easy to brush it off.

    Couple little things Ballots normally weren’t printed prior to the 1900s. You would literally go with a slip of paper for who you wanted to vote for, and a lot of time those were printed by the local party. No Republican Party in the south, no pre printed tickets with the Republican candidate. Thats actually where the name ticket comes from Free speech implies you won’t be punished by the government, not the citizenry. And at this time, the 14th Amendment had yet to be ratified, so under Barron v Baltimore, the federal constitution along with the bill of rights only restricted the general government as it was called back then. The States were free to restrict speech as they saw fit, unless it was prohibited by their constitution

    As a black American I was able to trace my Scot’s ancestors to the Clan Ruthven of Gowrie and st Johnston

    American here, obviously I largely agree as I'm doing an entire video channel attempting to get Americans to look at our history less through the hero lens and be more accepting of the awkwardness of how we got here. I think this reflects what he describes as the difference put another way. But I would add the caveat that I think the obsession with ancestry is more a "white" thing than an American thing. I'm white, I come from a family where both sides were very focused on letting me know what great person I was related to growing up, even as we were only a lower middle class family at that point, and looking back I do think it was to project connection to "greatness" through genetics...which is to me problematic. But the connection to the downtrodden he mentioned I think does tends to be the experience of other groups of Americans, particularly African Americans who from my experience are also very ancestry focused, but more trying to find the broken connection through the slave trade and less about "I'm related to X therefore I have good genes" Personally, i think connecting yourself to your ancestry is often a crutch, and like great man theory generally can be dangerous if taken to seriously. Enjoyed the reaction and thanks for making these. Maybe one day I'll go viral and see you watching what I post!

    Just for clarification the "human" remains found in England from 500,000 years ago were not homo sapien. So there could be something non homo sapien discivered in scotland, a lot of our country isnt allowed to be touched so its harder to find these things too

    The war ship HMS Verdun was deliberatly chosen as the battle of Verdun was the longest battle in WW1. The tomb of the unknown warrior in the US is now empty. The family of the soldier that layed there were found through DNA and he was rightly returned and buried in Arlington. The ceremony was normal as his family wished that he not be singled out among the many that did not return. Something that is really honourable to those that still remained unknown. I lost my great grandfather in WW1 and my Grandfather in Italy in WW2. They were 27 and 36 years old. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them

    I spent over a hundred hours researching my family tree in Italy, by visiting a Mormon ancestry center every two weeks for a year plus. One shocking thing I found was that a ton of my ancestors died in 1817. Never knew why until learning about this eruption.

    Also, I'm autistic and one of my special interests is sleep science and the siesta is a healthier sleep pattern than the post-industrial era practice of 8hrs solid in one go. There have been a number of health benefits drawn from the mid-afternoon nap including alertness/ wakefulness, increased productivity and better memory. Additionally it is a time of day a large number of factors come together in all of our bodies and boost the drive to sleep. Lots of factors have been used to try and explain it including the aforementioned hard work and heat, but also post-lunch drowsiness, our circadian rhythms naturally make us tired at that time of the day, and we have a drop in cortisol decreasing our alertness and making us sleepier. If we didn't have these long work days and artificial light most of us would be doing it and indeed it's actually v common in a lot of the world, not just Spain.

    So in answer to trying to wrap your head around protesters throwing stuff at the Mona Lisa, so there have been two famous protest actions involving throwing things at famous paintings. The one you were referring to with the Mona Lisa was actually soup that was thrown at it. This was in protest against the way farmers were being treated at the time and demanding healthy and sustainable food. The other famous one was when people threw also soup at Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. That one WAS Just Stop Oil protesting against lack of divestment from oil based energy and the cost of living crisis. In both cases, no oil product was used, even if it were paint it wouldn't be oil based unless it was oil paint which would never be used bc it is thick and dries incredibly slowly. If you were gonna use a paint you'd use acrylic which is water-based. Anyway, in both cases those targets were chosen BECAUSE they were behind a glass protective screen, there was never any intent to actually damage these paintings. And finally, it got your attention didn't it? The point is to do something controversial to draw attention to a particular cause. A lot of people are very judgemental about these particular protest methods but have rarely done much research on it and are often unfamiliar with the way protest movements work. The point is rarely sympathy the point of direct action is always to disrupt, which can make people unpopular but change is rarely achieved by asking nicely. Regarding the accusation of alienating people one of the Sunflowers protesters responded “But this is not The X Factor, we are not trying to make friends here, we are trying to make change, and unfortunately this is the way that change happens.”

    While arsenic is naturally occurring, high doses will kill you. My great-grandmother's sister died from self-ingested arsenic as a teenager. Family lore says that she was seeking sympathy for some perceived wrong and wasn't suicidal.

    There's a real problem I think with this video. Not your reaction, but the actual video. And it's that there is no mention of the Gracchi brothers or Marius or Sulla. I don't know how you can refer to events a few decades ago (as he does in this video) without mentioning that. It is like jumping from Elizabeth I to Charles I without talking about James and Catholicism, then blaming the entire Civil war on Oliver Cromwell

    I'm late, and there is no way you are going to read every comment. But if anybody sees this, what is a pirate? When I was young, it meant robbery on a body of water. But now pirating could be theft of intellectual property like videos. The more I think about it, I wonder if any kind of theft should be considered piracy.

    this happening on the back of the napoleonic wars is like the spanish flu, the great depression, and the dust bowl happening in the shadow of WW1 going into WW2. aside from the reprieve of the roaring 20s those eras must've appeared truly apocalyptic from certain vistas. i think the modern view of what hard times actually are is comically skewed and should almost all modern people from the "1st world" be plunged into the epicenter of these events, that took untold millions of lives, they might not see too many sunsets before they give out.

    Just imagine if we could figure out a way to make a system or methodology, a metric for determining why federal government money being used to attempt to alleviate poverty, Barbie and used within plans for racial equality. If only there was some sort of study, or a theory? To logistically try to figure out why these methods were not helping the way they were estimated to. That would be neat.
