It remains unbelievable to me how small your channel is with the level of quality presented All that without even doing sponsors If I had the income, I'd support you
@@thegradyfiles No.... Jews set themselves free. Funny how most people use god to undermine Human achievement, whatever he is, he gave us free will, and to go and deny that humans never used their free will for themselves is ignorance.
When the words we say, matter more than our message, we are ruled by petty men, with petty minds and shriveled hearts, who would rather make a show of their virtue, than bear the burden of truly upholding it.
It's in a must read list even in Lithuania. Weird how the country of origins tries to shirk it for surface level problems without looking into the meaning of the book.
You’re here!?! Wow! I wasn’t not expecting to see my favorite challenge video RU-vidr watching one of the history channels I watch. I am shocked! I love your channel so, so much more now!
Huckleberry Finn was easily the best book I've been forced to read in literature. So good I bought it myself and will cherish it forever. I hope you did read it and enjoy it
"reason as a source of knowledge was rejected" Saint Augustine, Boethius, Anselm, Abelard, Plotinus, Gaunillon, Roscellinus and Saint Thomas Aquinas: Bruh
What he should have said "Observations as a source of knowledge was rejected". That would also have been more fitting given that the chosen symbol was a crossed out eyeball. The problem wasn't that reason wasn't allowed, but that holy texts were a given axiom.
Let men label you as they may, if you alone of all the nation decide one way, and that way be the right way by your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country, hold up your head for you have nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn’t matter what the press says. It doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. It doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. Republics are founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe in. no matter the odds or consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move. Your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world: “No, you move.” - Mark Twain
@@htoodoh5770 He was merely saying that the republicans refuse to stand down from there ideas. Which is still true to this day, no mater how awful they sometimes are. At the time the Republicans where the ones advocating for equality, hence the tone of the quote.
Actually, Twain is talking about the Republican System of governance, which is the system the United States is supposed to be ruled by. The US is not, and has never be a direct democracy. It is a constitutional republic with locally elected representatives and set limitations on governmental powers. The republicans are supposed to be the party that supports those limitations, hence why they oppose massive social or federal programs. It goes directly against the constitutional limitations and the vision of the founding fathers, as laid out in the Federalist Papers (which were written by the same men who wrote the constitution and bill of rights. It was meant to explain the two documents to the public, and what was expected of the government). The Democratic Party wishes to make make America a more direct democracy with vast power over the states and a massive bureaucracy with multiple social programs. It sounds nice, having the government watching over you, making sure your well cared for, but that’s proven to be disastrous and bankrupting multiple times throughout history. The more massive the government, and the more direct the democracy, the easier it is for corruption to sink in and tyranny to be implemented. Many early American writers wrote extensively, creating works that directly or indirectly tackle such issues, from Thomas Paine to Thomas Jefferson to Ralph Waldo Emerson to Mark Twain (real name Samuel Clemens). They tried to establish through their works a system of ethics, reasoning, and a belief in self improvement that would form a public that could be trusted to progress forward without losing their freedoms to an expanding government. Mark Twain was writing mostly post civil war, and was partly a social criticism of antebellum southern culture and religious support for slavery. Twain was a witty writer, and his works are still quite applicable today.
The American ideal of freedom is a view that can be seen by anyone, that is why we say Irish-American, African-American, ect. We are all American but bring our own beliefs to what morality is in the land of the free
This is very interesting and I have to agree with that take on morality, not sending that letter might have not been the society's idea of morality, but not sending it was the single most moral thing he could've done "A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good."
I'm glad you keep making community posts because despite me watching all your videos for a while YT fails to recommend them to me. Except sometimes, as if as an afterthought.

AoM's soundtrack has kinda become the default for history/mythology/philosophy/politics channels the last few years. It's everywhere, although I think it started with Overly Sarcastic Productions. I've begun to notice that Endless Space's soundtrack appears more and more in a variety of videos in the genre too. So that might slowly come to supplement the old venerable one. Anycase, it's a full-scale nostalgia trip every time I hear any part of the AoM soundtrack. It's completely unmistakable and brings me back about 14 years. I can still hear some of the units sounding off in my head. The minotaurs were my favorite, they kinda just belch at you.
I don’t know how I found this channel I will never forget this channel. This is now my favorite channel. Whatever you’re doing keep doing it God bless you for willing to share your knowledge.
“The escaped slave Jim” You know there was an ironic reason behind he actually nickname right? It was meant to contrast his character with society’s treatment of him.
Well I guess Huck Finn explains why I feel the way I do. Probably should of read it in school 15 or so years ago. I guess Ill start tomorrow. I thought he just tricked people in to fence painting, not explaining my sense of morality. Thanks for the vid, man.
The fence thing was Tom Sawyer. Funnily enough, at the end of Huck Finn the two characters reunite and it shows how far the gulf of maturity is between them thanks to Finn’s development.
"Each man, for himself, discovers morality as best he can and lives by it to the best of his ability." If a man discovers morality, it must be from a higher source, grounded in something necessary (so that moral truths never change), rational (to give commands), and be the Good. That rational, necessary, perfectly good being-goodness itself-is what we call God.
Dude I love this new content so much like the guides were really good but honestly learning how things came to be in this style is just great keep up the good work!
Hello, writing in your latest video for you to have a greater chance of seeing this comment. I just discovered this channel, yesterday. It turns out that I was already subscribed from Vic2 economy guide video but these new countryball stuff and the subjects of the video, they literally are wonderful. Please keep these wonderful work up, now back to marathoning your videos!
I very much found my sense of Morality in a similar way that Huck does and came to similar conclusions, but i have to wonder, what about those who do find their sense of morality the same way, but come to WILDLY different and conflicting conclusions? what do we do with those people who actually are, without societal or cultural pressures, absolutely rotten to other people? I am certain such people exist.
The medieval England flag is incorrect, the Irish Harp and Scottish Lion should be 3 fleur-de-lis like the France flag next to England at 2:11 . The flag you used for England is The Royal Standard and it is flown only at palaces where the ruling monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) currently resides.
@@pugsy7658 I agree, I prefer it over the actual medieval England flag, but The Royal Standard also represents the UK as a whole (like the union flag) and using it in the place of England's medieval flag is like referring to the whole of the UK as just England
@@hiddentreasure2161 except the "actual" medieval English flag changed pretty much with every ruler. Added to the fact that there was no such thing as a flag representing a country during the medieval period. A flag or really a "standard" simple representing the dynasty/rulers. Richard I royal arms where the 3 lions on a red background Henry III then adopted the French fleur-de-lis putting it in the bottom left and top right corners (with the top left and top right having the 3 lions) this was to bolster his claim to the French throne Each corner included numerous fleur-de-lis not sure if there was a specific amount Richard II then added the arms of King Edward the Confessor (not Edward was given a coat of arms after his death as he lived before the time of heraldry) which took over the left half of the flag (right half was the 3 lions and fleur-de-lis) Henry IV removed the arms of King Edward and instead reduced the number of fleurs-de-lis in each corner to 3 Henry VI then added the coat of arms of France (3 fleur-de-lis). So the left half was the French coat of arms and the right half was the same as Henry IV Henry the IV then reinstated his coat of arms Then when Mary I and Philip married they combined their coat of arms into... a mess. Queen Mary I kind marks the end of the medieval period (5th to the late 15th century though the age of heraldry didn't start until the ~11th century) i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/f8/90/ccf890900402037a2e0e8d4d13041972.png (image of the coat of arms of the union of Mary I and Philip)
See now you're going to have me convinced that the real reason lefties want Huckleberry Finn censored is less to do with the funny words and more to do with it's morality.
its both because funny words hurt their feelings and because it goes again their morality where the state/society gets to decide what's right and wrong. Same reason why some crazy religious nuts hate it because it goes against their morality that god and society deem what's right and wrong.
The Puritans weren't kicked out of England they left, especially after the dictatorship they set up where they banned sport, theatre and Christmas was overthrown. I have no idea where the idea the Purita s fled for "religious persecution" even came from but for some reason it is taught in america schools like its fact
Unless you're writing from specifically the Early American position on the middle ages where a lot of the enlightenment's self-aggrandizing dismissiveness of the post (Western)Roman order was dominant you've vastly misrepresented medieval Europe. Eh I'd say Theological, Moral, legalistic and "Not disrespecting the continuity of the church that came before" quite possibly outnumbered naked power motive at least for issues outside of immediate Italian concerns. Though respecting the Church as an institution and not tarnishing its continuity is arguably a form of protecting power.
