Hardcore History Ep68 - (BLITZ) Human Resources 

Well, he had to trim it down for us laymen.

🥱

Madness I tell you... Madness!

Imagine if he did the Russian version of a Blitz. The episode would be 50 hours long!

Just saw the title and yelled out 5 hours! Proceeded by a throat sucking noise.

💯

Precisely! 👍

Yeah, it has essentially become a holiday in my house, haha. Hard to plan around but oh, is it a big deal when it gets here. Happy day, everyone!

Once he dropped one on my birthday after months of no episodes (one of the king of kings series). One of the best birthday present ever! 😂

All i want for christmas is 5 hours of racewar

Piracy has been different things in different eras. The 16th-18th century era was about competing empires and the british/dutch/french trying to piggy-back on the empires of spain/portugal. Roman-era mediterranean piracy was mostly about "mauroons" and refuges of runaway slaves or other holdouts from roman imperialism.

Or espionage throughout history

At least on Black Beard.

@@StubbsMillingCo. Blackbeard sucks. François l'Olonnais was 1,000 times more badass.

Agreed this is a good idea

That’s because our education system is based on the Prussian model for brainwashing soldiers.

@@RR-fg7nu that's a reach, but yeah elementary school is more so designed to break you than enlighten

12 Years a Student

AP American and European history covers all of this stuff pretty well.

@@lbboardingb3356 school is only there to keep you from taking your parents job.

What I got from this episode is that regardless of race, gender, color, and religion, Humans are a cancer in this planet.

Based

School doesn't teach a lot of things...35 years without being curious enough to find out for yourself is shocking

And well done, too.

This was amazing

I think he avoids politics in part so that he can do things like this

@@michaelpowell-ngatchou6274 I'm sorry but this episode is political - but that's okay, he's covering a topic that's still relevant today.

@@panta_rhei.26 if you think this episode is political that reveals something unpleasant about you.

@@user-mm8vw1ow1x i feel it

African American. Lol. You segregate yourself. Congratulations.

@@ameliaward7429 are you brain damage

@@ameliaward7429 Italian American here. Nothing wrong with stating your background. Especially when the history discussed here is basically the reason you were born. It's not like we're talking about cotton candy production and he felt the need to state he's an African American with a sweet tooth.

@@ameliaward7429 get over yourself

Blueprints for Armageddon is probably my favorite thing he's released. Definitely check that out if you haven't

@@variancewithin Thanks for the recommend, but I'm already pretty well acquainted with Dan's work😁 Blueprint for Armageddon is 100% my favorite HCH too, it's just fantastic.

@@variancewithin Blueprint for Armageddon genuinely changed my entire understanding of the world. That and Scars of the Great War.

I've been listening to Supernova in the East since the first episode dropped. It made my day when episode 6 was released, I went on a 3 hour bike ride listening to it.

@@variancewithin I enjoye Blueprint For Armageddon immensly I learned a lot from it.

The epitome of quality over quantity

Same, until I saw the subject, and now I don't give a single solitary fuck and will never watch it

@@MightyMerlin1 No one cares.

@@MightyMerlin1 Why..? What are you afraid of? Learning the in-depth history of a subject that effects us all, even to this day?

O man! I'd read a lot about the Pacific war before but that series really brings the events to life. I like the quote at the end after the description of the horror on the ground following the bombing of Hiroshima where he said "this is a vision of a future to avoid".

@@arontesfay2520 Tell the leaders of the US and Russia that.

I agree, I still have not finished the last episode, had to keep turning it off 😔

@Black Lesbian Poet The mysterious “they” is at it again, huh?

@Black Lesbian Poet How do you know the Freemasons aren’t the “good guys”? Very simply, you don’t know. I do however expect you are capable of some pretty extreme mental contortions in an attempt to offer “evidence” as proof you are absolutely correct. You want there to be some group with a plan out there pulling strings because you want the chaos of humanity and life to have order and follow a plan. In addition, I suspect you have certain personality traits that lead you to believe you are one of the “special people” who can “see the truth”. There are other people who claim it’s Jews, aliens, the Illuminati, the Catholic Church, Democrats, Republicans, communists, socialist or any number of groups that are “in charge”. Your particular boogeyman seems to be the Freemasons. I’ll welcome your response where you claim I’m a “sheep”, stupid, ignorant, uneducated or am “indoctrinated” as you ask me to “do my own research”.

Yea thanks samsung for the buds headphones with my sweater on lol

Can't let leftist cancer silence the smart ones!

@@chrisg4305 I mean, the entire episode is condemning slavery. That’s pretty leftist.

@@Sean-no3zv I feel like condemning and explaining slavery isn't a left right issue...

Yeah dude being anti slavery takes SO much bravery

@@Sean-no3zv democracrats we’re slave owners.

And it's 4 times longer than any album.

HH Brother

I would like to read your work! How do I find it?

Feels bad

I believe he has a history degree, and of course he is American so this is a subject that he has probably been interested/educated on since his early 20s I would imagine. Many of the sources he uses may very well be from textbooks from his university days that he still owns.

Love the revolutions podcast.

@@JackAubreyy pretty bad, having a dictator doesn't work out

@@JackAubreyy what's the problem?

@@JackAubreyy so I don't get you? You were asking a question you knew the answer to? Or are you just some instigator who's angry your ancestors got their asses handed to them by 'inferior people?

@@waynewayne8419 He's just racist. No winning any arguments with people like him

As a Haitian man myself I am sad/proud to have this kind of history (as painful as it is) and the hope of a path for equality.

​@Unholy69original It's been 150+ years and Haiti is still a corrupt shithole

That was such a crazy story

well said!

So true

@@reconstructionmanifest7349 To both points

Give him the dollar he asks for! Nothing is free.

Never just one listen. King of Kings, and the WW1 series are my favorites . Listened numerous times .

I also came

Please!!!!!

He has one. dancarlin

@@thial2009 but does he release these cuts and Edits?

Yea I’d totally listen to that.

the man has the voracious appetite to do what a master's in history candidate would be doing to get their degree - and he does it over and over. Could potentially have several doctorates at this point.

Remarkable intelligence

Am I crazy.....or does the narrative suggest a closet psychopath. He's fascinated by human cruelty and trafficking? Typical considering most exceptionally intelligent people are profoundly apathetic

@@promethiusbobb3309 It's fascinating in the sense that it actually happened and how it reverberates across time. Not every topic is sunshine and rainbows man sometimes the topic is ugly but that doesn't make it any less layered.

Same

Same

This one is magnificent!

@darknightoftroy thank you I will

Teachers don’t choose the curriculum

It is really weird how differently history is taught from place to place. There was weeks every year in my school where we were taught about slavery. That being said you are absolutely correct about using hch in history class, it's educational and extremely entertaining

@@thebrospaul2312 Don't get me wrong, my schools spent a couple of weeks on the topic or era of American slavery but it was mostly centered around the triangular trade, cash crops, cotton gin, 3/5 clause, and Missouri compromise. I appreciate hch because Carlin makes better use of 1st hand accounts and stories to get a better sense of the personal affects of these events

@@fmifu4100 I wasn't judging anyone, or trying to say anything negative. I just find it curious that different schools teach different things on the same subject.

You have negation taking place by limiting the subject to just one time period and location. We still have war so your theory on learning from history has been negated as well. Keep in mind learning from history has kept many groups carrying on conflict for decades if not centuries.

@@AQuietNight Just because one learns from history, doesn’t mean one won’t repeat it. Nothing that I stated is negated. If you learn addition, you learn a process in math. It doesn’t mean you know all or mathematics, but you’re on the right step of developing the understand of what might be next. I don’t know what point you were trying to make, but please don’t pretend as if what I stated was incorrect.

@@CPLRedmond "but you’re on the right step of developing the understand of what might be next" I do not think that is happening either. My prime point was the slave trade discussion is usually limited to the Atlantic when it was a worldwide thing done for thousands of years. The only new thing the Europeans added was the ability to do it on a production line basis over a sustained period. Slavery was always brutal and so bad in the Old Testament God pronounced laws to protect slaves from abusive behavior.

@@Dimitris_Balf Slavery has been discussed. And discussed. And discussed. It is not some well hidden secret. The constant discussion of slavery hasn't helped Blacks but conditions them to be seen as some sort of cosmic losers. Every failure is because of 400 years of slavery, not lack of other qualities that insure success. We are down to the point you can not even expect them to master grammar, no doubt a by product of slavery. The obsession with slavery insures the success of failure.

almost 10..if you re-listen

Tweak the speed to 1.5x or faster. Your brain will adjust. But then you’ll hate regular conversations. Talk faster. Get to the POINT!

Separating out the transatlantic slave trade from the history of slavery in general will create a political view. It is like discussing the war in Ukraine right now. Many people have said Ukraine is at fault unaware of the wars and incidents that proceeded the current conflict.

@@billybatts9491 actually we're all here because we love history, you can ignore it if you want to but it's not winning you any points from people who seek to actually know things, History is about causation, things don't happen out of the blue except for meteor strikes.

3am here. Spreading this out over the next few days.

England found it easier to have peasants than slaves; there was little "leading the way" to it.

@@solgato5186 That's plain wrong. Britain blockaded West Africa to prevent the export of slaves oversees and basically bribed, cajoled, and bullied the rest of Europe into helping them.

@@5h0rgunn45Quakers (fleeing persecution from England!) in the Colonies were the first to denounce slavery. In fact, some U.S. regions/states altogether banned/outlawed slavery from their start. About twenty five before “England” even considered abolishment. The more one knows…

@@5h0rgunn45 Britain blockaded the West African coast because Portugal got too powerful. It had nothing to do with them being morally superior

@@herbthompson8937 So you say. Whatever the motivation for doing it and regardless of whatever other terrible things the British Empire did, the fact remains they led the way in ending the Atlantic slave trade.

Awww! That's praise indeed!🙂

His team?

@@horsem.d.7979 Yeah, Dan and Ben, who'd loove to have your dollar
