| Hello everyone. | |
| I thought I'd do a quick recommendations video to give a bit of a shout out to the people who on YouTube I really enjoy. | |
| I'll start with someone outside of YouTube and that's Dan Carlin. | |
| He's a political commentator and history buff who I thoroughly recommend. | |
| When people say to me the presentation of your Heroes of History videos are great, I'm going to start saying well actually that's Dan Carlin's presentation. | |
| I've completely ripped off his style because it's an excellent style. | |
| I'm sure I'll find my own footing as I go along but this guy is amazing and he's very mainstream, but he's also very far ahead of the curve and it makes him sound like a conspiracy theorist, even though he's not. | |
| So yeah, I thoroughly recommend him. | |
| To quote the next recommendation, it's tight shit. | |
| Next up is the man Sparky Pfister. | |
| He is funny as fuck. | |
| There's no getting around it. | |
| His videos responding to feminism are just some of the funniest things I've ever heard. | |
| Literally, I sit alone in my flat and I don't laugh out loud when I'm actually watching something. | |
| I might find something fairly amusing and smirk at it, but it's not like I am in company. | |
| I think most people like that. | |
| Except for when I'm watching his videos. | |
| I do find myself howling with laughter. | |
| Next, I'd like to recommend Rizzle Dizzle, or Snake Pliskanist that was. | |
| He's hilarious. | |
| He comes across very much like a professional nihilist with a mind like a razor blade. | |
| And he's funny as fuck, so I thoroughly recommend him. | |
| Next, I'd recommend a YouTuber called M. | |
| Now, M's very different, and he has very introspective videos. | |
| And he's got a wonderful voice. | |
| If you've ever had a drink or a toke, I thoroughly recommend just, you know, if you want to have a bit of a chill and, you know, he's got a really good way of drawing you in with his narratives. | |
| It's hard to describe, so I'd just recommend checking him out. | |
| The next person I'd like to recommend is Raging Golden Eagle. | |
| This guy is like the nicest guy ever. | |
| I really like him. | |
| His videos are fun, and he's just incredibly personable. | |
| You know, I bet he's got some fucking good mates who really care about him because he's a solid guy and he tends to, I see him around on a lot of the videos I go to and he seems to be part of a kind of glue that's binding the community together. | |
| He's very good, very good. | |
| And I'm glad he makes videos. | |
| I really am. | |
| I'd like to recommend Spetznaz because I think that if you're not subscribed to him, you are really missing out on an intellectual experience. | |
| His videos are exceptionally well researched and are almost the antithesis of mine because his are very well thought out and very well produced. | |
| Whereas mine are very off the cuff and shortly produced because I've got no skills in that regard. | |
| He will relate to you male experiences that will make you cry. | |
| I'm not joking. | |
| The guy is amazing. | |
| He's got a wonderful voice for it as well. | |
| His diction is fantastic. | |
| Even for a colonial. | |
| And he approaches his subject matter in a manner I would term professional. | |
| He's amazing. | |
| I'd thoroughly recommend Bane666AU. | |
| I'm not a fan of computerised voices, but the content more than makes up for it. | |
| Cough. | |
| And I put up with them because it's worth hearing what he has to say. | |
| Fantastic. | |
| Absolutely excellent. | |
| I'm sure that I don't really need to mention the internet aristocrat, but if you're not aware of him, you will want to be. | |
| And finally, I'd like to recommend the psychological cynic, who is a man that I feel a great affinity for, because he reminds me so much of myself. | |
| He seems to be struggling against the stupidity of the world, which is something that people have said to me on numerous occasions. | |
| That I seem to be very frustrated with the fact that most people around me aren't very bright. | |
| Most people around me have a tendency to do stupid things. | |
| And it's not even that I think they're not very bright, it's just that they don't spend the time to just go a layer deeper with their thinking. | |
| And I get the feeling that he's very much like that. | |
| It's, you know, he's a very sharp man, and he makes excellent videos. | |
| Well, I tell you what, this was a refreshing change. | |
| It's nice to be able to say something positive for once, because, I mean, one of the reasons I started doing the Heroes of History once is not only that I think that these are great, fun characters, but they're just interesting to talk about, because, you know, if you put yourself in their shoes... | |
| a lot of the things they're doing are just ridiculously terrifying. | |
| I mean, I wouldn't want to do anything like that. | |
| So I have a lot of respect for that. | |
| But it's also, a lot of my content is very, it's negative. | |
| It's feminism stupid. | |
| Ha ha ha. | |
| I will mock you. | |
| And I have a great time doing that. | |
| And I'm glad you guys seem to enjoy them. | |
| But it's really nice to be able to actually say things that I believe that are good. | |
| Because I do believe, I'm surprisingly optimistic. | |
| I don't seem to get to express it that much in my videos, though. |
