Attention, attention, may I have your attention! The end is in sight, Ireland is nearly free. But one last fight lies ahead... Do you have what it takes?
Join Garrett, an Irish Republican, as he show you what life was like in the 1910's and 20's in the heart of Dublin. History was made in the streets, in the post offices, and in the countryside here! A history, that seems all too familiar, with the return of an old rival...

(Note: I forgot to mention the Potato Famine of the 1840's in my introductory talk, but I hope do it sometime in the future!
I also understand the sensitivity around the IRA, and the fight between England and Ireland, with it being quite recent. I do not wish to 'rub a wound', but rather do my shows in spirit of understanding history, and learning from it. Thanks for understanding!)

Hi Gareth, I’m the Viking with glasses that met you during the “Viking thing”, really like your channel man. Great content, educational and entertaining. Apologies for myself and the other Viking who didn’t return to film a video with you we lost track of time and had to be home, really hope to see you again at any future festivals like that or larping events.

Of course! Thanks for joining us with Dahoga! It was great converting, um I mean, fighting with you! Please don't raid our monasteries Mr. Viking

@@Mission_ism Great! Very excited to join that day, do we need to bring our own equipment?

A great narrative about the Republic of Ireland, but it feels like it’s missing bits about the division of the island, The Troubles, and the Good Friday Agreement. The struggle for an Ireland free of the British is still alive.

Thanks for the feedback @Mapleson! Indeed, I have to squeeze a lot of history in the space of an hour, so I do miss out on a few things, I'm so sorry! The Troubles and Good Friday Agreement fully, but that is 'in the future' regarding the era of the show, hence I did not explain them. Hopefully I will in the future! I did mention right at the end about the North and South split. Thanks again for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

I'm not entirely sure why the great RU-vid gods sent me here, but just wanted to say that I really admire your efforts to teach history to kids and I appreciate that it was more about entertainment than accuracy but to try and make out the Irish 'won' their independence from 'England' is misleading - it ended in a nasty stalemate between Ireland and Britain and the eventual formalised split of north and south - to suggest all Irish wanted independence from Britain and that they were evil and oppressive is just not true. The British were the ones in charge not the English, there is a big difference (the English don't even have their own parliament now let alone then) especially in this particular conflict - most of the Northern Irish were of Scottish decent and did not want Irish independence and fought against it. Like all history, it's very complicated so you should be careful when teaching it to children that you don't play to propaganda or revisionism - the Irish played a central and essential role in the development of the British Empire and their global invasion so to suggest it was a straight forward fight against the evil English oppressors on one side and the plucky Irish peasants on the other is disingenuous in the extreme. One other thing, your real accent sounds like it might be South African, if so then perhaps as part of your act you should mention the role of Jan Smuts in the eventual peace talks and Anglo-Irish treaty. Don't get me wrong though, it was entertaining for the kids and if it gets them interested in history then this is excellent, but maybe a bit more of a caveat at the end that you've exaggerated the story for entertainment and they should go home and read up about the real war as it's a fascinating and tragic tale of civil war that still rumbles on to this day but thankfully in a less direct way.

Wow, thanks for your message! I always appreciate feedback, and want my shows to not just be a monologue. Thanks! The mission I am on, Mission: Ism, aims to identify the truth, and understand the momentum of the past. So, I know that history was witnessed by so many different people, that it can be hard to settle on a perspective to narrate with. I hear you, it was never as black and white as 'English vs Irish' or 'Evil Empire vs oppressed masses'. However, to many people it was their view, so my show did come across that way a bit. But you're right, I could disclaim a bit more. I do encourage viewers to look at the other Stone to Steam episodes for the bigger picture, many of them are viewed through British perspectives. Stone to Steam wants to tell the tales of the past, and sometimes even through short-sighted soldiers and/or brutes - But that is why I go into soliloquy and explain things a bit more in-depth. The children always come back the next week with a sparked interest, and that is my job done. I do my best to give them a more holistic picture, and present the facts. But it is our personal responsibilities on how we formulate our views. That I can influence, but not control. Hence we must present as many facts to children, and guide them with care. Haha, my accent as I see it, must not affect the show, else I would always 'South-Africanise' the facts. I am in a way like a nationless history ghost thingum-a-jig! (If that's a thing?) But well done, yes Jan Smuts did affect Irish history. I do my best to be an ambassador to nations, but appreciate critique! We all are in many ways bound to our personal histories, that we can't escape. Thanks again for your message, and keep them coming!

No one talks about how awesome the lego creation is, that stuff is cool. Give him proper materials and he make a completely new gun that will Rival any army.

@Mission_ism 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Raiden! Sadly the brand is discontinued, I use OK blocks, slightly bigger than lego, and perfect for strong creations! So if I need a new weapon for a new era, I break down an old one and make it into something new! The lego M1 carbine I made used to be a lego AK47. I will upload those shows soon!
