      In about 5-10 years when the gender theory is relegated to the same place that lobotomies are historically in medicine literature, they will be forever broken.
      However you, you will be well prepared for the lifetime of political bs. I am ashamed to say it took me two presidential votings to realize that's it's just a repeat cycle of bs;
      pretend emergencies/false flag >theft of rights>newwar>theft of taxes> media admits war was wrong>new president restart. EVERY 8 YEARS.
      This is why I think the voting age ought to be returned to 30. The entire point of lowering the voting age is nefarious in that the young can't see the rehashed bs. I felt about Iraq in 2003 exactly how zoomers felt about the Ukraine/Russia but by the time I saw this latest conflict I automatically knew it was B's that had nothing to do with us and a theft of my yearly wages.

      There was one guy, an explorer and his ship, who was following whale migration movements. A full TWO YEARS after the war had ended, a U boat popped up besides him, quite unexpectedly and boarded with the captain, in uniform along with all his other sailors, demanding to buy half their supplies. He paid them in US DOLLARS, told him to split the money amongst his crew, told him there was a pod of whales in an area nearby WHICH THERE WAS, saluted and they went back under.

    Would you ever consider doing a video on how everyday life changed for the Germans under the Third Reich compared to the weimar republic? Things like culture, wages, prices of necessities, what was taught in schools, what was now socially acceptable that wasn't before (or vice versa), or anything else that had a major change compared to life under the previous regime. I believe you've touched on some of these in previous videos but I think a standalone video on how everyday life changed for the average joe under Hitler's rule would be great

      In 1956 he produced a film called 7 years in Tibet, later a Hollywood version was made staring Brad Pitt. It would be an interesting watch in contrast to this, as the Schaeffer accounts seem to puncture the idealised version of Tibet as a holy moral society, but a much more complex dynamic, much like the Roman Catholic society throughout the ages.

      I remember reading in an old book, published in the 50s, that the bodies were actually monks who lit themselves on fire to avoid being captured by the British. At least, that's what the author claimed, but the burning of the body is also an age old form of protest. Either way, it's safe to say that they were monks and not bodies shipped back with the expedition.

      I will not rule out that they did it to save ink, and thus money.

      Still not stranger that what we're told today, that all humans come from Africa, when the oldest near-human remains have been found in Europe, specifically Greece and Bulgaria.
      Just look up Graecopithecus Freybergi; the remains were discovered by German palaeontologist Bruno von Freyberg in Athens in 1944.
      In 2017 it was dated to be 7.2 million years old, and it was found it is a direct human ancestor. By contrast, the oldest hominid/near-human remains in Africa are not even 3 million years old.
      I don't blame anyone from the 18th and 19th and 20th centuries believing in stories that we today find "weird" because we have access to carbon dating and DNA genome analysis. The further back you go in history the wilder the theories get.
      All sorts of anthropologists and archaeologists had theories about how ancient and modern people came to be. In the 19th century, another German archaeologist, Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer, had concluded that the modern Greeks are not related to the ancient Greeks. Even at the time this theory was seen as controversial, but it was still legitimate. Modern genetic testing allows us to definitively conclude that he was wrong; but he couldn't have known that.
      The Greeks believed they were descended from the Gods, who were in turn descended from the Titans. Some of them also spoke about mythical, hyper-advanced yet extinct civilizations; Atlantis was first described by Plato for example.
      I obviously don't subscribe to it, but I won't give Himmler shit for assuming that the European peoples could've somehow been related to then-still mystical and reclusive Tibet, which still at the time inspired awe and curiosity.
