I'm pretty sure Cassius Clay is literally, GENUINELY, the inspiration for that copypasta you kept mentioning
For those who dont know, its called "Just as the founding fathers intend". And I would completely agree with that
The copy pasta is actually supposed to be a response to a anti gun argument about how the second amendment was for muskets only because they weren’t as dangerous.
@@kaleoarnold3709 And here is Mr Clay with a home-defense CANNON... XD
@@kaleoarnold3709 Honestly agree with that though. 2nd amendment should have been modified quite a lot when new and more powerful guns were being made.
@@zackrose6261 you a dummy they should have written it like they were talking to a 6th grader and pointing out that any necessary weapons needed to defend yourself should be covered.
Cassius clay is fraggin legendary. The epitomy of "fuck around and find out".
I think he made up that saying even
Who do you think the inventor of that phrase was referring to when they invented it?
2:53 One minor misunderstanding: If I recall correctly, Dueling in 1800’s America was done with guns rather than blades like a Rapier. So it’s not necessarily that he was undefeated with a Rapier, but instead was an absolute menace with a Dueling Pistol lol.
A smooth bore dueling pistol at that! No accuracy but he wills the musket ball to kill his enemies.
it was a mix between pistols to bladed weapons.
@@trentenswett6306 I wouldn’t be surprised if that were accurate. That said, considering that the only bladed weapon he carried (except for perhaps an Officer’s Sword while serving in the wars he was in) was his trusted Bowie Knife as well as the frequency of which he participated in Duels, I believe it would be safe to say in Clay’s case that most if not all of the Duels he participated in involved Dueling Pistols - a theory that is lended further credence by how he almost always had a pair of pistols on his person.
For clarification, I’m merely saying what comes to mind on the subject, since it’s fairly new information for me. My teachers seemed to think that instilling their personal political and social views on their students was more important than learning something actually worthwhile lol.
@@demonchild327 During the 18th - early 19th century duels with sabers, smallswords were common, of course dueling pistols became popular for a while before and after, but those challenged could pick a desired weapon to be used. In the South sword fights were commonplace among the wealthy upper-class, before and even during the civil war. That said duels between frontiersmen and lower-class one would see a lot more knife and other bladed common tools and weapons, like the tomahawk etc. It really comes down too what one could afford, their social statues, and the preference of the challenged. Also have to remember duels where not always formal events like one pictures most duels.
You misunderstood, he's referring to France with the Rapier
16:46 I LOVE this logic.
"No, no- he's far too offensive to be Vice-President... make him a diplomat instead!" 😆
.... yeah, Whats with that locgic
😆
No no, you don’t get it. Ambassador to RUSSIA 😂
@@halhala2... ok grand it
They had to send him somewhere else before something horrible happened
Diplomat to a country who's philosophy for fixing things is "hit it till it works."
Yeah, I think they found the round peg for the square hole but it fit so they went with it
It wasn't just Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali's birth name was Cassius Marcellus Clay... Jr. Both he and his father were named after this man
Who knew how ironic it was, Mohammed Ali calling Cassius clay a "slave name"...
@@scottymacdewder5229 That's... wow
@@scottymacdewder5229No one said he was educated in his early life.
@@scottymacdewder5229even more ironic, his new name was after two people who owned African slaves themselves: the prophet Muhammed and his son in law, Ali.
@@SergioKoolhaas It does come off as rather embarrassing on Muhammad Ali's part, doesn't it?
Ali: "I don't want to be named after a slave-owner."
Ghost of Clay: "I'll literally box you to death for saying that. You couldn't have missed the mark harder even if you had legitimately tried to."
Cassius Clay is life's main character and we're just living in his epilogue
There have been multiple main characters in history. Another one was Dan Daly, the most gangster marine alive. Fat electrician did a video on him recently with that exact title
fun fact the way the guy is defended in court as a normal kentucky man...is true as a fellow kentucky man
There is no such thing as gratuitous violence or mayhem in Kentucky, just look at Kentucky Ballistics!
@@Wpns175 don't know have you seen watermelon time with him pretty sure that counts as both
Joe Schmoe here, a fellow Kentuckian from Newport. Even in Northern Kentucky, right across the river from Cincinnati, it's pretty much expected that you go about everything as absolutely bonkers as possible.
As far as Kentucky heroes go, there's none that top Cassius Clay. His cause was righteous and he stood by it with the fervor of an absolute psychopath. I've got nothing but the utmost respect for the man.
@@imperatice19 Watermelon Time is Kentucky Ballistics
Cassius Clay after getting beaten and stabbed multiple times.
"Wow. *Rude."*
Cassius: *recovered after being stabbed several times* …i was fuckin annoyed…
Cassius Clay and John Brown were absolute menaces to American Slaveowners and it is fantastic.
We Florida men might be insane but we know not to mess with legends like that, New Orleans is a different animal
When you compare what constitutes a modern "politician" to this Legend the difference are massive. Clay sought to enact change for a reason, and it was not power, it was not control, it was to make the world a better place. The modern "politician" is generally some degree of statist dead set on expansion of their own block's political power. Clay was not a politician, he was a FORCE for change. We need more people like him in Government and a LOT less of the power-hungry statists we have now.
The problem is that everyone he associated with was the people who created what we now know as the "modern politican."
@@AnAmericanMusicianlike who?
Back in the day when politicians used to dare to stick their neck out to both their fellows and their superiors. The fact that politicians now are all bark and no bite (not just in the US but in Europe too) is laughable by comparison. It's more important to be re-elected than to actually enact change (I'll leave the nuances of house majority and such out of this) and that's kind of sad to see :/
The problem is that modern politicians have ensured this breed of man is no more because they aren’t capable of dealing with them.
Remember kids according to our President they could not buy Cannon's back then 😂
Cassius M. Clay is the most based politician i have ever heard of (and i just learned of him a few days ago in the fat electrician's video!) He was on a mission from god (if god is real) and succeeded, also i am proud to have been born, raised and live in Cincinnati, Ohio all 25.5 years of my life so far, i have been to the underground railroad museum here several times!
I would say that Cassius Clay is the strongest proof we might have that Good is real
@@PhycoKrusk indeed, he is Chaotic Good incarnate (more or less)
@@Yuki_Ika7I think he's a perfect embodiment of that.
Kentuckians: We have someone we want killed
(Most) Assassin: Who’s the mark?
Kentuckians: Cassius Clay.
(Most) Assassins: No thanks, I choose life.
Fun fact: When Richard Lawrence attempted to assassinate President Andrew Jackson. Jackson had to pulled off of Lawrence to stop him from being beaten to death with his cane.
You left out the part where one of the men who jumped in was goddamn Davy Crockett. Absolutely everything about that assassination attempt was fucking absurd in the best possible way.
Yep, imagine if the US elected a man like Jackson as president today. There would be no survivors. @@saintcynicism2654
Yeah. Also, he had attempted to shoot Jackson twice and both his guns *jammed!*
15:54"Carl, that kills people"
First off... i love that your first reaction was "florida?" That absolutely made me laugh so hard as an ohioan thats moved to florida. That got me. I literally could not breath and had to pause!
With all the chaotic creators kip has reacted to, i wonder if he has seen any of Pipkin Pippa, or moonshine animations content and clips.
I can assure you Kip has seen Pippa, absolutely based as she is.
Moonshine Animations has not crossed my desk yet, I'll have to look into them.
You know it's personal when even though your guns are already out you still go for the knife,
Literally an example of an American main character. Cassius Marcellus Clay had plot armor fr fr.
Literally murdered his way to good karma, Fallout style
Fun fact: stab wounds are harder to heal so rapier duelist die more often than sabre duelists cause cuts are much easier to heal. So we have experienced rapier duelists that has very little scaring cause any cut could be his last and a sabre duelist with a lot of scars cause cuts are more easily healed.
What about a 45 or 50 cal hole from a black powder pistol because that's what he used
A slash from a sabre can be very long but are most often shallow. A stab from a rapier is usually deeper. More likely to hit an artery. More importantly, getting stabbed is more likely to put bits of fabric unrecoverably deep into the body. This can cause infections; even worse than just being stabbed. In the US in the 1800s, dueling was done with pistols and not varieties of swords.
Don't forget this is america before the wild west era. The dual weapon of choice was a Black powder pistol
It sucks that America doesn't get to know a lot of their heroes because of the school system
This guy is the term “built different…built aggressively”
*“I own a musket, for home defence”*
I thought this _was_ about Muhammad Ali.
Also, with the way you pronouce "shiv", I thought you were saying "sheath".
Also, also, Florida Man is eternal. He was there when the first Seminole said, "Hold my pulque, that gator is just asking for a headlock." He was there when the first Spaniard walked out into a hurricane to go find his favorite hunting dog. And he will be there when the last person on Earth who refused to leave, flicks off the sun which has gone red giant and is swallowing the planet.
8:38 I want to touch on that point. If someone breaks into your house, and cuts themselves, or you defend your property with lethal force but dont kill the person, they can ACTUALLY sue YOU. Its ridiculous.
Surprised people even bother letting the intruder live after being downed at that point.
And if the home owner executes the intruder, its "excessive force". Swear, feels like criminals have more rights then the civilians at times.
@@SpearraI mean, it absolutely is excessive force. Home invaders still deserve due process, and executing them yourself denies them that unnecessarily. I'm not going to weep bitterly if one gets ventilated as part of the homeowner defending themselves, but they still have rights and arguing otherwise is verging on vigilantism.
@@TheAngryXenitethat is fair, but no one should be arrested for protecting themselves, potentially others, as well as likely everything you ever have or may ever own. It’s ridiculous to the nth degree, and bear in mind, I think like this because I live in Nj. It’s practically a crime to defend yourself in your own home over here.
@@ronaldmcreagann6343 I agree there. I just take umbrage with the term "execute." That implies you've got them at your mercy and kill them, as opposed to killing them in the heat of the moment.
Kentucky has some wild fuckin people from our history.
Must be something in the chicken Meat XD
the voters fraud thing. i think that if you can measurably effect the population level of a country, positively or negativity, then either way, you're kind of a fucking legend, ethical or not.
11:52 I think it’d be more accurate to say he was the viking on the bridge, but there was no going under the bridge
i enjoy The Fat Electrician vids. you want to have a good laugh his "PT belt" vid is good, becuase i lived it. just remember the PT belt will save your life from anything to everything lol
There is Only one Being Chuck Norris Fears and it is this Man The Cassius Clay The True American.
No chuckie norris feared me
Never seen a video from this guy before, he gives me some serious "slightly sportier/extrovert Wendigoon" vibes, and I kinda dig it.
He's great, def recommended. Great history lessons
Oh…you are going to be in for a real treat
Lol theyre buds
I'm trying to imagine the look and thoughts that went through the sheriff's head the moment Cassius fired his home defense cannon at them and the people accompanying him. wide-eyed, seeing his life flash before his eyes and all that, all while thinking "what the fuck was that?!"
This guy had Heihachi Mishima level plot armor.
Love to see you do reaction on seabee train robbery from him, or USS Barb. Both amazing stories if you never heard them.
Sir he uploaded a 35 min recently and its about a man called Jake "Mcnasty" McNiece. He was an anti hero and a smelly one lol. Highly recommend
I saw that, it's on my list to potentially react to. The deterrent is I'll turn it into a 50 minute video.
@@KipReacts I'll have my snacks and beverage ready for that one
It's actually an incredibly common misconception that the "M" in Cassius M Clay stands for "Marcellus". His real name was Cassius Motherfuckin' Clay. But the US just wasn't ready for that.
I watched this video yesterday, and learned about someone new. A genuine baddassed 'murican.
To be fair Florida wasn’t even a state yet.
Scheels is a pretty good store. Wide variety and decent prices. Worth the trip for outdoorsy folks.
He's got another great one that's non-military it's about Dads
I need a movie of this man
The world*
My local SCHEELS has a Ferris wheel in it
Highly recommend Fat Electrician’s Rapid Dragon, VAMPIRE, Switchblade and Bat Bomb videos
Atomic Annie and Davy Crocket.
Kip should definitely do Rapid Dragon, VAMPIRE and Switchblade as a triple feature about similar weapon systems. Maybe throw the The Flying Ginsu in as another one in the same vein.
You misspelled “all”.
9:25 untill 10:30 *Bursts out laughing.*
Okay, that's a very funny concern! XD
I strongly agree with you on Duty of Care in as far as content creators are concerned. I've dropped channels where the creator showed no care for the fact that the ideas they were pushing or praising could either lead to terribly mindself or even just significant financial loss for viewers that didn't know enough not to try the things this person suggested. And especially in the later care the lack of care became evident when the creator was called out and tried to wave it off like it was no big deal.
You get it. More people need to think like you.
Integrity is its own reward
For all my One Piece fans out there: Cassius Clay is just IRL Kozuki Oden! Or rather, Cassius Clay might have inspired Oden in some way!!
Cassius Clay died of exhaustion because only Cassius Clay could take out Cassius Clay.
i live right down the road from his home in kentucky. their is a massive park that surrounds it.
The only reason he got captured in Mexico was because he was surrounded by mere mortals Holding him back.
This was great! Damn! I was a history major - like American history covering THIS time period and I've never heard of this guy before! I knew England refused to get involved, but this Russian Diplomat convinces pretty much the Czar to tell France and Britain - who they have treaties with - to stand down. And responsible for convincing them to sell us Alaska? Amazing!
I heard you reference the SCA once before and was wondering if it was the same SCA I was thinking. You've now confirmed it for me! Kingdom of the West for life! Haven't played in nearly a decade due to real life kicking my ass all the way across the country, but I look back at my time with the utmost fondness.
The assassin suing Cassius is no different from a criminal breaking into a house, hurting themselves, and then suing the homeowner for the damages
Which has happened before, so I guess there's precedent for that.
Scheels is basically a more sporty Cabela's
This is what happens if the final boss switches sides and becomes an adventurer. It's like playing on easy.
Scheels is a great store
I’m fairly certain that the “duels” in question were gun duels, not sword duels. But still, he was definitely on another level.
To the people that say that great man theory has been disproven I present you the argument of Cassius Clay.
Whats that theory?
@@karlwikman3874 great man theory is the theory of history that states that is shaped by single great individuals. Is directly in opposition to the Marxist theory of history.
Dude was a freaking archangel
The literal main character
Fellow son of Idaho
You just want duels to come back.
I see where you're going with the Florida guess, and normally I'd agree, but Florida wasn't part of the country yet.
It sounds bad about the typhoid fever thing, but your whole take is sound reasoning.
This man had massive plot armor...
Charisma 100
Ask someone who lives in a town that has a shield so I can say their quality of products are really nice their employees are really wonderful and helpful and their prices are actually pretty fair
Wait….. you live in Idaho too?! Based
"Beeing even" after the assassination is more like the biblical idea "eye for an eye".
I said biblical, but this concept of law is way older. I'm sure the Babylonians were the first who had it writen down as such.
17:00 until 18:25 And there is another thing I just learned about.
Looks like bill bellicheck
Lol "I'm getting into political territory" As though that's not where we were the whole time. Cassius Clay lived in that territory and was a legend for being unapologetic about his based beliefs - besides the fact that everything is political, the stuff worth talking about almost always has political implications. Sometimes people will make vapid and oversimplified explanations of them or absolutely lack the context for their shallow ass use of history to justify a belief, but that makes it all the more important to discuss the political ramifications of figures like Cassius openly and in a format better than twitter or even comments that bottlenecks the dialogue and cloaks it in the hostility of anomie. I get the general aversion some content creators have to politics but even in a more abstract manner I think if you feel strongly or grounded enough in the topic to say something that burden of the content creator you keep mentioning would compel you to make your point on figures like this.
Bra I just need the original version I don’t need commentary on top of commentary damn
The original version is linked in the description, or a quick UA-cam search will yield that. I would recommend avoiding anything labeled, "React" or, "Reaction" as that will imply commentary over the source material to solve degree. Hope this helped.
Damn your Vtuber is giving my bisexuality a run for its money.
oh dear, where is the extra 10 minutes going to come from
Same thing I told my wife
I couldn't stop laughing at the voter fraud line
Wrong kinda dual this was the 25 steps turn and fire
I don’t blame you for not getting into current day politics on your channel because this video alone disproves certain ideologies that think that systems are racist. 😂
They don't talk about him more b/c they don't want anyone today to be inspired to fight that hard for social justice.
Lol "social justice". Nowadays you'd have people "think" they're doing the right thing but committing atrocities. So maybe it's for the best.
The US school system doesn't teach this by design. Just look at the current book banning and slavery denialism being forced upon the public school system that is going on in Florida and other southern states.
Lost Cause Mythology
@chaosXP3RT Honestly, to me it sounds more and more like neo confederacy with each passing day.
Holy shit you are brainwashed. I bet you believe the "Don't Say Gay" Bill is actually what it was called and what's it about. If anything, schools HAMMER slavery into you and don't even talk about the struggles other groups like the Irish had to go through.
Are you still active in SCA?
Yes, though I'm really out of shape at the moment
@@KipReacts which kingdom are you in and which region of that kingdom?
@@privatebacon3189 Arnhold in Artemesia.
@@KipReacts I'm in Ffynnon Gath of Ansteorra.
Say what people will about Andrew Jackson, but he was in something like 100 duels himself, the man had his falts but bravery was not one of them, our early forefathers were a lot of things but for the most part cowards were not among them
We aren't taught about people like this because it encourages people "buck the system". Even though we see how many times guys like this get things done.
20:15 untill 20:25 Smart to avoid it.
This is one reason I’m not a huge fan of Ali. I don’t think he actually knew who he was named after or what kind of person Clay was. If he did I doubt he would have abandoned his name like he did.
I bet Cassius clay hase ADHD he just wants to pisseing off every one because they are boring
Can you please stop pretending to "react" to videos you have clearly already viewed?
Can you please actually blind react?
Love your content. Having been born and raised in Florida, yea yea, Florida was my guess too. No way La. Is MORE batshit than Florida Man.
