At least ChatGPT is clueless about how to write a script in my style or even when to cite sources (even though the definitely and illegally scraped some of my episodes for training data)

Wikipedia is the best encyclopedia ever created, by a very wide margin. Anyone who denounces its usage announces their own ineptitude

Them chanting "Seahawks" sounds awfully similar to "sieg heil" 😅

No one, including Hitler, has had a worse reception at the Olympics than JD Vance

Soon I'll be recording some of my "fascist history" episode and then playing some AC Valhalla. Join me on twitch.tv/cynicalhisto... for the last stream before I travel for 2 weeks

Finished "Fall of the House of Usher." That was amazing. I don't think any other media has ever captured Edgar Allen Poe as well

Whenever someone complains that MeToo "went too far," they've implicitly greenlit Photoshopping their image with Jeffrey Epstein and labeling them a pedo-protector

I am reminded every day of the Minnesota flag

When will states grow backbones enough to institute their own congresses to oppose this federal tyranny? The American Revolution only happened because of such solidarity. Any invocation of revolutionary principals to push the legitimacy of violence is false without organization

I have this massive backlog of bad-comment screenshots (810mb of zipped PNGs). Sorting them is too time intensive and I cannot figure out how to make the 700mb already done keyword searchable. Perhaps databasing like this is a good use of AI, but I have no clue how to do it

Remember when Elon Musk got mad at being disallowed from interfering with a rescue operation and called its head a "pedo guy" then excused the defamation as a euphemism? Turns out that it wasn't meant as an insult. It was an affirmation

I'm tired of hearing legacy news say, "This is a concerning development." You repeated that refrain after Charlottesville. It's the equivalent of going, "The massacres in 1876 South Carolina are concerning." No duh! Bigots are violently destroying liberty. Get a grip!

San Franciscans will support this the same as they did for the preparedness march

Clear indicator of a naïve reading of historiography: Attributing interpretation to individual scholars rather than their contextual circumstances. Historians are beholden to contemporary bias, same as everyone else. No one, including me, is above perspective

Art of the weave: Murder Americans, institute concentration camps, terrorize communities, and implement naked imperialism to sufficiently satiate MAGA so that they ignore his pedophilia enough to allow them to fulfill the narcissist's prayer

Went downtown a couple hours too late for the protest today, but caught a crowd of stragglers. I've gone to more protests this month than I ever have in a single year. Back to writing about defeating tyranny, I guess

Dreadful realization while writing my episode about fascist history: There's gonna be people who stop watching before getting to all the atrocities and decide they actually like fascism 😨

If reporting on a illegal demonstration is the same as participation, then what is this administration's stance on all the uncharged journalists who reported on the Capitol Insurrection? Oh yeah

I already wrote the reality section script for my Nuremberg review, having read 3 books for it. So annoyed that I'm rushing through a fourth (by El-Hai) to learn about a bunch of things I was oblivious about. Making work difficult for myself

I did it youtu.be/ifPH2W9Xxwo

Because of our abduction of Maduro and further operations around Venezuela, I made a video about Noriega, Panama, and Operation Just Cause in order to understand the supposed precedence. Check it out: youtu.be/ifPH2W9Xxwo

When people express dismay at Good's murderer saying "fVcking b1tch" immediately after his crime. Gotta say FROM EXPERIENCE, it's normal to be that angry about one's enemies. But unlike warfare, they're AMERICAN CITIZENS, not combatants. Admit your violent bigotry, cowards

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It began by implementing retribution for a conspiracy theory about national humiliation, based on fears of being racially replaced. Sound familiar? Here's my history of the Shoah and review of Schindler's List: youtu.be/rUGIHFdx5CA

Remember I said redefining "terrorist" incited violence? That's how fascists excuse their crimes. Why is DHS bad? Because the murder Pretti Good. 25Sep2025 president's memorandum is license to destroy liberty, like the 1918 Sedition Act but without Congressional approval

Strange connection to current/past research: the psychologist who's the protagonist of the Nuremberg film had a grandfather who had gone to Nevada in order to report on new details about the Mountain Meadows Massacre and ended up in Tahoe

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

All the 2A activists should be up in arms (pun intended) about Alex Pretti being gunned down by fascist thugs while disarmed. This is everything they claimed to fear and advocate the Second Amendment against. Instead, they're cowering before Mango Mussolini

Things to learn from the American Revolution that may apply today. I wrote these to explain the significance of that era, but it is very applicable today

Watching this today with King in my lap, wishfully thinking the topic applies to a future America. Fuzzy feline forestalls my further infuriation from our Führer. Afterward, might stream video editing and playing AC Valhalla on Twitch afterwards

Nuremberg held many subsequent trials. What the United States needs is a RuSHA Trial for ICE. Not only did they commit a new murder today, but they operate concentration camps. It will take decades of trials for these thugs before justice is met

If you're gonna have other YouTubers read quotes for you, CREDIT THEM on screen with a footnote! It's basic courtesy and informs viewers who the heck is speaking

Dear Clio, the people next to me at the bar are discussing making money on YouTube through grifting about ancient aliens. This is a main stream lie. The YouTube "guru" (w/ 12k subs, ROFL) is laughing about how this is BS and saying it's worth money. Depraved society

I fought alongside NATO troops during multiple direct-fire attacks. POTUS Bone Spurs here is not just a veteran hater, he's also stealing valor when he has none. Trump exemplifies cowardice at the highest degree

Just more brazen historical erasure. Never suffer anyone affiliated with MAGA to claim they care about history ever again

Germany left the League of Nations in 1933. Italy in 1937. Trump is attempting to force the USA out of the United Nations while using a supposed "Peace Commission" to conceal Israel's genocide of Palestinians

Everyone is laughing about Trump boasting to a German-speaking city that the US victory in WWII prevented them from speaking German. Don't forget Davos is in Switzerland, which was famously neutral throughout that war. Yet MAGA campaigned on Biden being too senile 😅😵‍💫

Asking the difficult questions after 15 minutes

How do Capitol Insurrection denialists not recognize that they are the exact same form of conspiracists as 9/11 truthers?

Dear Clio, my retirement account is subject to the wild whims of a wonton and weaselly whackjob

Remember how numerous countries boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics, because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? Then there was the lesser 1984 retaliation? A unified sporting response to naked aggression is meaningful. And look where the FIFA World Cup is this year

"an obligation to think purely of peace"

In 1 year, we've witnessed corruption that'd make President Grant blush, historic loss of prestige, institutional decoherence, 5 new wars and 2 old ones, gestapo, ethnic cleansing through deportations, and we teeter on the brink of civil war and WWIII. The Kremlin won

ICE made a Bluesky account just to follow journalists who cover their tyranny

The last time a nobel peace prize winner gifted their medal to a leader like this was Knut Hamsun giving his to Joseph Goebbels in 1943. History doesn't repeat, but it sure tends to rhyme

Little before VE Day, the US Army put out a fact sheet about fascism that is surprisingly good. It talks about the key features that identify the ideology, how it may manifest in the USA, what resistance means, and how it isn't leftist. Our antifa army was badass 1/2🧵

Another key difference between Panama 1989 and Venezuela now is that the former had declared war on the United States and randomly attacked Marines on a dinner break, killing one. Venezuela was absolutely not the aggressor here. Trump instigated this war crime

Hemingway's prophecy for our times
