Hey there. I'm Steve Heimler. Retrospect is a channel that puts current events in historical context so that we can think clearly and engage humbly with the world around us. If you're weary of a world in which partisanship and simplicity are passed off for critical thinking, then I'd love to have you along as I try to re-enchant current and historical events in all their complexity.

I just found out you have another channel! This is amazing!
i miss this channel so much, i hope u come back to it sometime steve <3
i love this please make more
Who's here after Trump's Twitter account has returned
Where did you find out that the story about The Devil' Punch Bowl was fake?
Hey this was a good channel, will there be more content?
How the mainstream, is being used to divide people? It may look like its america against russia, but its not. First of all, there are only a few people, who are in power in each countrie, lets call them, the organization, that consist of a few individuals, who also have power over some other, and then they some other. same thing, with police and gangs. it may look like they compete with eachother, but thats no the case. they work from both sides, and tips eachother. when there is war, its just on a bigger scale. If you see police raid, then its just a false flag operation, only to show the public, that they actually do something. The gangs are like a second military, that they use for controll on the streets. it better to let them controll the street, than the people, cause that keeps them in controll. So when they say, Ukraine is at war with Russia, its just them using the country name as cover, for their criminal organisation. (Subjective opinion) no point in chosing sides, cause they are in both.
This is a Johnny-Harris-level explanation, very well done! I was a former AP World Student back when you were still uploading new content for the course (during COVID era) and was going down my subscribers list on KZread and found you again. You saved my grade and helped me pass the test which I am forever grateful for. I just got nostalgic cause I'm graduating this year and it's been a while since I've watched your videos which made history, my least favorite school subject, very enjoyable through your "buffoonery." And now I accidentally came across your other channel so I can continue watching even tho I'm almost done with HS. Thank you for all you do Mr. Heimler, we appreciate you so much.
Jeez, you did an incredible job on exposing how the people who used “Jesus” as a means for their storming of the White House were actually contradicting the Gospel. Thank you so much for that!
Ok
In light of recent events, I think it'd be great if you made a video about the current Ukraine-Russia crisis
Just a few selfies and a broken window. Literally 1000x Cheaper than the BLM trash protests.
Remember when Media said for 5 years that Trump was a Russian agent. All false. Never proven. They never apologized.
Completely point is key
Need a new episode of retrospect for the events in Afghanistan right now
In China, all the people are Asians, but bullies happen very frequently and fiercely, lots of people like to do bad things to each other or insult others. Why does that happen?
You should do the BLM riots too
As a Chinese myself who's seen many people's responses to these attacks, I feel that there are many americans, especially right wing conservatives, would argue that there isn't much evidence of hate within these crimes. Like the guy who killed the people at the spa, they would say there really isn't proof that it was a anti-asian hate crime and that it was just a coincidence that more asian people were killed since maybe there were more asians inside at the time. And they might have a point. Sometimes they say that not because they are racist, but because they put logic and facts over feelings and thoughts. I guess it's important that we're not quick to judge about a recent news report that could have something to do with a hate crime, but at the same time, it's important to consider the fact that it might be a hate crime. All people deserve to be treated equally, and all people should have the chance to repent their wrongdoings and change for the greater good of society.
I’m surprised that guy didn’t use the “Dewey Beats Truman” picture as an example, cause that actually happened. He was so close.
Just got my second shot, please get vaccinated
Heimler got for transferred from AP World to current events
Usually when I hear the Russian disinformation argument I think it’s some sort of Joe McCarthy red scare stuff, but dang
I think it was a great idea to create this channel where you can speak more candidly than in your official channel which has the restrains of being a respected academic and purely informative channel. I really enjoy hearing your lecture on these topics. You even here give a very clear and digestible while detailed look at contentious issues. Thanks Himmler
I had never once heard of the story of Vincent Ching until now. That one hit too close to home. I’m a white kid who lives in Michigan near-ish Detroit and my grandfather worked as an assembly line worker at Chrysler, as most people do around here. He was laid off in the late 70s and 80s from the downturn of American auto manufacturing in part due to competition from Japanese manufacturers. He blamed the Japanese for this and was very resentful. On top of this he heard stories of how “brutal” and “ferocious” the Japanese were from his father who caught in the pacific theatre in world war 2. He passed this hate and resentment onto my mother who still to this day tells me I’m never allowed to buy a “Jap Car” (I didn’t even know “Jap” was considered an offensive racial slur until a few years ago. Heading that story felt like a stake in the heart knowing that I had been nurtured into hate. I’m glad this so finally reaching mainstream thought, it’s taught me a lot.
Retrospect 🤝 Retro-Spect Stopping. Asian. Hate
LOL. Do one on CNN.
Love it man. Your really creating alot of content I find holes on the internet for. Thanks!!!!
You nailed the true Christian motives, and it sickens me to see christians act this way. I my self am a Christian and I get my cart ahead of God's horse. So thanks for be an unbiased source in today's tumultuous times.
when can we see a retrospect video on the ongoing conflict between ukraine and russia ?
As an Asian American, I really appreciate this video from you! I would love to hear the perspective of an Asian American woman in relation to the issue of anti-Asian hate because misogyny played a big role in how the Georgia attack was handled as well, but nonetheless thank you
This video was so well made! Deserves so many more views! Keep up the fantastic work!
Most people have the misconception that Asian Americans are "economically" superior and arrogant, which causes many racist attacks from all ethnicities, but yet, these attacks were more justified compared to antiblack attacks. Thank you for this video.
When you are working on so much work you don't see the new retrospect vid... Great video! It definitely sheds some light on the historical context and what is happening right now. I think an evangelical vid, the history of Christianity and different beliefs between the branches, or something else you are thinking of would be wonderful Heimmler!
Asian Americans need to fight back, have civil discourse while being armed. I’m also glad to hear record high gun ownership by Asians in the US. I just pray to god it won’t need to be used.
So are people from Bhutan, The Maldives, East Timor, or Laos also being hated? Did anyone ask these people if they want to be dragged into some victim group? Do the people from Nepal or Brunei interested in recognizing hate that will define them as Asians?
I have four major problems with the concept of "hate crimes" as presented in this video. It is my belief that we should criminalize violent behavior, not states of mind. 1. As correctly noted at 10:15, this forces the prosecutors and investigators to psychoanalyse the perpetrator. And what if the perpetrator chooses to exercise his right to remain silent? That makes it kind of hard to perform that psychoanalysis. 2. If my dearly beloved wife or one of my precious children were murdered into order to rob them, I would have a big, big problem with the concept that the perpetrator should receive a lighter sentence because the motive was "only" robbery and not hate. 3. Suppose that I am on a jury. How can I possibly know the accused's state of mind beyond reasonable doubt? 4. There are religions which do not believe that all people are born equal. For example, Hinduism with its caste system. And other religions which say things along the lines of "We are God's chosen people and everyone else is not." The "hate crime" concept looks to me like criminalizing specific religions. For example, suppose a high-caste member of the Hindu religion murders a member of the "untouchable" caste. Does the fact that the perpetrator believes his victim is inferior from birth automatically make it a religious hate crime? Conclusion: Murder is murder. I believe in punishing criminal behavior, not states of mind.
I have to say, your video quality is so amazing with your camera angles and the detailed image that your videos portrayed. It’s marvelous!. I can also see the amount of time it took to research and how you sound very well informed about the topic. I am proud to be a subscriber of this KZread channel.👏👏👏
Thank you so much for making this video, Mr. Heimler! Like many of my fellow commenters, I would also be very interested in a fellow up video on evangelical purity culture.
being perceived as the "model minority", racism against asian-americans gets swept under the rug too too too too too often - thank you for this
Окееу
Thank you for this video and I would love to see a video on the evangelical church
I appreciate that you are opening a dialogue. I do not understand why the man acted the way he did. I hope that he takes ownership of his actions. My desire is that this hatred divide which is trying to take hold in our country be addressed then eliminated. Those killed did not have anything to do with His self-centered actions. They are all on him. He treated those Americans as if they were less than human. For an evangelical, he was probably taught that all human life matters. Punishment accordingly is required. I would like to view a video about the evangelical side of the story. Great Job as Always Steve, and please thank you friend for his insight, thoughts and sharing his experiences.
I would really appreciate a video about the evangelical movement of Christianity. Even though I am Roman Catholic I have barely heard anything about the Evangelical movement. I believe I’ve only heard that group “evangelical” in APUSH, but that’s about it.
Best channel on youtube!
It's sort of sad how much content Heimler has been getting over these past months. The world is, at the moment, really messed up. Thank you, Heimler for talking all of us through it.
As an Asian American who loves history, thank you for this video. Hate crimes and the underlying causes behind them don’t just come out of nowhere and this video presented it with clarity
Thank you so much Steve & Wesley for making this video & sharing with us your thoughts & powerful messages!!
The notion that honest conversation needs to be had is certainly the next major step. One major obstacle that we have to overcome is understanding that, as an American, we value every individual thought and that these thoughts are shared by more than just a select few. Nor are thoughts restricted or reserved for a selective group. I am subscribed to another youtuber, Lauren Chen who, as a Chinese Canadian, recently posted a video proclaiming her opinions on recent anti-Asia sentiment. Simply because she reflects conservative values or because she is not American, she is being blasted by people who believe her opinions hold no merit. As Americans, we are all equally responsible for making changes within our culture and as such, need to value the imput of groups who are percieved to hold power as much as those being affected by it. We can't be afraid to have the conversation simply because we aren't associated directly by the problem.
As a catholic I’ve always been interested in the evangelical movement, we have learned about it in school but It would be nice to hear a first person perspective on how it differs from other denominations
I’m a Protestant Christian I had never heard of the term evangelical until a few years ago and I’m not entirely sure if I’m one or not.
Thank you so much. I was born in China and I knew covid would spring up a lot of hate but it was never talked about so I never talked about it. You're the best Heimler
