My great grandpa told my mom the story of the probably unluckiest guy in history. His name was Dmitri (complicated surname, didn't memorize it) who lived in a place near Moscow, born in 1897. He served in first world war when he was 17, at 1917 came back home to face the civil war. He survived the spanish flu, worked as army officer, almost got killed in Stalin's great purge. Survived Winter war, fought in Stalingrad, fought through the Soviet attack on Germany (got wounded at Seelow, shot in stomach), almost died from sepsa, survived it. And on top of it all in 1949 ended up in Gulag, after 10 years came back home and died peacefully. Talk about Chuck Norris, this guy is a fuckin hard-ass legend.
Now that's a true survivor, most of us feel to weak or "tired" going over our daily work and stuff but this guy was a true fighter who fought till the end..
Zharakov from my recent military experience and from guys who were in combat, alot of guys leave the military after they kill someone, get alot of ptsd... But this guy was like holy shit, imagine his PTSD levels, how much death did he see, and on top of all that, Stalin's regime sends him in Gulag, a respectful warrior. I'm determined to my duty too, but if I was him, I'd say like: nah man fuck this shit
Completely agree with you man, I can't even stand watching beheadings on the internet, let alone getting into a real war MULTIPLE TIMES, this guy is something else, i would have loved to meet him.. this is true determination right here
I know this is super late in the conversation... but would you mind sharing what year he was either born or the year he died? I really am curious to get an idea of exactly how much stuff he had either witnessed or was just alive for during significant world events and affairs
The people who lived through #1 contributed to the baby boom after world war 2. I would have never had children that could possibly go through that same hell themselves. We came very close to a full on nuclear war, which would have dwarfed the numbers of dead from anything else, and left the few survivors with a radioactive wasteland.
It is crazy how ungrateful people are today about current society. This really is the most peaceful time that ever existed within our human civilization.

Disagree, unless you mean that every modern generation should prepare to be CONVINCED/TOLD that what they’re going through is the worst. I think in current times, people are predispositioned to think that their struggle is the end-all-be-all. Of course, I’m generalizing, but there does seem to be a lack of perspective in younger/ish people today. Imagine if you posted a cool tik tok and then went through a world war, a pandemic, and an economic depression! You’d make literally NO money on that tik tok. Think about all that.
My great grandfather Albert was born in the southern US in 1898. He and his best friend were both drafted in 1917, and saw most violence in 1918. He drove over a German land mine in the Argonne forest, and it blew up his ambulance, throwing his friend out the window. His friend's body was not returned for months. Then, his brother was caught in a trench when a chlorine gas attack flooded it all, and he and everyone else coughed their lungs out and died. My great grandpa survived, and married my great grandma in 1921. She lived until I was 5 years old, dying at 101 years old. 1903-2004 is a hell of a lifespan
Gas attacks must of been hell, even if you had a gas mask on, your skin would rot away and it would blur your vision so you couldn’t see the enemy, as well as many loud sounds that would kill their eardrums, was your grandfather shellshocked or did he have PTSD? I’m guessing he did but you never know
Ww1, followed by Civil war, followed by the Spanish flu, followed by Stalin's purges, followed by WW2, followed by more purges. All this suffering yet Russia is still a shithole. Russian men are rolling in their graves
Along with The Russian Revolution and subsequent interventions by countries in Western Europe (White Army/Britain/France/USA vs Red Army/Communists), atrocities done by Stalin, etc. Russia's been through a lot as a nation, even in the centuries prior such as being ruled by the Mongols. Russia has proven what it takes to be a nation and the striving of surviving as a nation.
Russia was a disaster before the revolution. People were starving and dying by the millions while the Czars sat in a fucking castle with food. They were liberated and prosperous because of it. If it wasn't for the Soviets, Nazi Germany might still exist. They played the most crucial role in victory. The Gulag was for class traitors. It consisted of farmers that refused to help feed the nation. These farmers were price gouging and when told they must sell at reasonable prices, they refused, hid crops for themselves and burned the rest. Then of course, the bourgeoise was sent to gulag or killed because they were part of the exploitation that led to mass starvation and famine. People often look at the USSR without understanding the full picture and circumstances that lead towards the "horrific" events that is taught in the West. People don't have revolutions because everything is peachy. A big reason Capitalism is so successful is due largely in part to welfare. Keep the poor fed and housed and you keep them content with their mediocre existance. Take away their food, and see how long it takes before they start killing the rich. You ever notice they don't teach you the words of Communist leaders in school? They don't teach the revolutionary theory or the ideology of the Communist country, they only show you pictures of terrible things that was caused by even worse things. Everyone shits on Castro as well, but fail to see what Batista was doing that lead to his overthrow. For someone who is supposedly satan reborn,it is interesting that the entire country gathered in the masses and cried when his death was announced.
Next time you're feeling down, remember that you're a descendant of someone who was strong enough to survive such times. Survival of the fittest is not something to take lightly.
I think the worst time and place to be alive in human history is about 70,000 years ago when the Toba catastrophe occurred. A super-eruption of a volcano blew up an entire island in Indonesia and caused a global winter for 6-7 years. The global human population was reduced to about 1,000 breeding pairs.
Being pretty much any indigenous group during their "discovery" by Europeans would be horrific. And our countries continue to exploit "their" colonies. It's sickening.
@iTzDaRFYoDa 12357062 lol like Europe!! Difference was that civilians were seldom killed in the disagreements between tribes: it was more civilized than most European wars, and considerably less deadly.
@VI's Very Own inthe algonquin tribes tongue, the term "mohawk" as in the mohawk tribe, stood for "flesh-eater". There was massive torture, cannibalism, etc. All people just suck, dont blame white people for everything because its the current fad. Blame everyone for being terrible to each other.
To say that we are living a cosseted existence in 2019 in comparison with any period in history is an understatement. Most of us are extraordinarily lucky today.
Some what true don't forget cancer AIDS flu STDs guns food poisoning I could go on and on but you should see where I'm going there 10xs more ways to die today..
Incredible to think my great grandmother lived through the entirety of the 20th century. Modernization, WWI, Polio, rearing twenties, great depression, served in W.A.V.E. along with other members of the family during WWII, Cold War beginnings, Korea, Vietnam, Cuban missile crises, Reagan years, gulf and middle eastern conflicts, and 9/11. The world will never see their like again.
We're grateful now... But let's hope a WW3 isn't unfolding in our lifetimes. Nukes with better mass murder technology than ever, on top of global warming and climate change and the fact that our ocean is literally plastic and we're fucking up the environment to no return.... That's going to be... bad... to say the least.
I am a survivor of this dark era and I would greatly appreciate if you could not upset my ptsd disorder with the horrifying memories of this global catastrophe.
My grandpa lived the Great Leap Forward, his family was so starved he had to go oversea to the land i'm living now to work, when he was only 13. Fortunately, his hard work fed the family until things were better.
@@whydoyoucare6012 0.2% mortality rate would mean around 700,000 americans dead. If you don't care about 700,000 people dying in one country it probably means you are not exactly a good person.
erushbass 8 months ago (edited) You think that's bad, I got in my car the other day and somebody had pushed my passenger side wing mirror in. I had to get out, walk around the entire car & push it back out. 536 Likes .......................... This is the comment 2 comments above yours It's odd that it has the same 536 number that you mention but used in a different way,,, weird or what
Imagine yourself fighting for your country through out WW1, then when you get home, you manage to survive the Spanish flu, then push through the great depression, and after all this you die during the 2nd World War because you were Jewish. Holy shit.
My grandfather was born in Germany in 1894. He fought in WWI at the Eastern Front. He then lived through Nazi Rule in Berlin, with his wife and 3 children. His eldest daughter was killed, aged 16, during an air raid in 1944 as the family made their way to an air raid shelter. She was hit by shrapnel and bled to death in the shelter. My dad was 11. My Opa was devoutly Lutheran and he refused to Heil Hitler. He fought back in his own, tiny way.
No 1 actually gave me pause for thought. I knew about all of those events individually but never put them all together. Imagine surviving the entirety of WW1, Spanish flu pandemic, the Great Depression, and WW2 only to shipped off to end your days in a Gulag. What a perfectly abject existence.
My great grandfather survived the whole of World war 1 fighting in the trenches for the British Army (1914-1918), Spanish Flu, The Great Depression and World war 2. He died an old man in the 1970's.
My nan (my dads mum) worked in a factory making bullets and guns in WW2 and the day she weren't working the place got bombed pretty lucky there like.. just a shame all those other people died :'( she lived until she was 83 she died in 2003
My grandfather was one of those unfortunates who although badly wounded at Pozieres in 1916, came home, raised three boys in the 30's and put himself thru uni to become a lawyer. He then had the pleasure of watching his eldest go off to war and eventually to Hiroshima 5 weeks after the bomb, where as a dentist he was helping the local survivors. Grandad died in 1959, his wound still weeping, but never heard him complain. Now the current generation complain about all sorts of fictitious hardships and problems, probably because they have never experienced any kind of reality like this. Time to wake up before it happens again.
I would compare working fast food to somewhere between the great leap forward and the native american genocide, so when they get my order wrong I let it go.
What is even more eye opening is to listen to what communism has brought to China during that time...yet many young people today wish to abolish capitalism in favor of communism.
Eye opening? This is eye shutting, mental blockade by smuggling a message that favours the centers of wealth and power. The patron of life is balance, to implement balance we need a decrease in skull-less zombies stamping on the planet, hence less lying media and more serious political discussion to shed sectarian violence in favour of the global unity of the working class, so far the only agent of progress by means of class struggle. The 5 of the video will carry on forever unless black and white unite and fight against crooking and twisting of the truth, including, 5 best, 5 worst, bullshit videos.
Re: War. .. I think it was Albert Einstein who said: "WW3 will be fought with formidable weapons. .. As a result, WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones."
If this video does not convince people we are as human beings a violent and absolutely dangerous race of living beings in the universe then nothing will.
Pursued Mist521 And YOU thought that the world with us humans before the Flood in Noah's time was bad. Let me set you straight mister. You hit the nail right on the head! That usage of words and phrases by you absolutely takes the cake.
Travel to Europe some time and visit all the memorials, in just about any size town, that are dedicated to some war or some plague of the past. It's truly eye-opening and makes you realize how dangerous life was in the past. We have it easy today compared to then.
I love this channel. The content is always very well presented and way more in depth than most other "Top 10" channels. Unknown5 definitely deserves the popularity and attention he's been getting.
@@iamusingtheinternet3324 yeah during the breakdown of the Soviet Union there was famine so pretty bad time they relied on Soviet imports of food other than that it's not that bad of a place in relation to living in most of the world unless you are a dissident
Wasn't coronavirus used as an obedience training tool (Goodness Paradox: obedience to abstract laws and authorities due to self-domestication syndrome) since it has been said by psychological society that people should be targeted with hard hitting emotional messages? Seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent.
The moral of this story: Never give absolute power to a Narcissist. They'll do anything to create their own delusion of a "Perfect World." Complete with excuses and self-justification. Notice how Mao though of himself as a god? They tend to do that a lot.
USNA2008 yeah. That was fucked! Creepy ass human experiments! I am a history major going for post grad degrees. I love it they do not hold back like high school history teachers. I think these are all things that people should know about to help make a better future.
I just showed my grandfather who was a German soldier on the eastern front this comment...and he agreed, he says hes spent every day of his life since just remembering the horrors of his friends being butchered at stalingrad, he spent years in a gulag after being captured, when he came back to Germany years later, he found out that his wife and daughters had all been raped and savagely beaten/tortured by Soviet soldiers, sometimes 70 communist in a day would rape the girls...and they all ended up pregnant with monsters...I unfortunately am the result of one of those rapes...(bear in mind this happened to millions of German girls when the communist entered Germany....it truly was the worst fate, many civilians including innocent children had their eyes gouged out, breast cut off, skinned alive or burned to death after the rapes by the soviets...and the to make matters worse, the Soviets stole many of the more attractive German girls to send back to the Soviet union as sex slaves for communist party officials. And sometimes as servants/replacement wifes for soldiers who lost wifes during the war.. many of the german men who were able bodied were shipped to gulags never to be seen again, the last German soldier/POW left the gulag/prison system in 2014 at the age of 84, he was captured in Berlin 1945 at the age of 14...the poor boy spent his whole life in the Siberian gulags breaking rocks...as for the German girls stolen as war brides/sex slaves none of them ever returned home to my knowledge, but many still live in russia and likely have just accepted that fate, that part of the history was buried mostly due to how depraved it is...I'm sure they were not treated well by the Soviet soldiers since many of them were former SS/wehrmacht wifes and girlfriends....this was the unfortunate fate of my grandfathers wife...all we know is she was sent away to russia in 1945...he has never heard from her again....that war was truly horrible for the German people. It still greatly affects us, and NO we did not start the war, Poland forced it (at the request of the british), look up the danzig corridor and bromburg massacre. And watch "adolf Hitler the greatest story never told" it covers that stuff on archive.org (its banned on UA-cam now)
Anything that happened to the German military was deserved, stop trying to show the Germans as victims! They invaded the Soviet Union and the atrocities and death they caused there is completely unforgivable! And what happened to the civilians when the Soviets finally invaded German territory is exactly the same as what they were doing to soviet civilians! They were not victims they were an evil invading force! And luckily for the world the Soviets defeated them
Either of them would have good to join just personally wwii for me since it had the most interesting conflicts and battles with german troops are things of legends
Der Flieger The Pacific Campaign was hell on earth..... it was hot, bloody and just generally a terrible place to serve. Those men had a will and strengthen that is unmatched.
My great grandma was born in the ending years of ww1, she also survived ww2. So when her life could begin again, she got a in a horrible carcrash. Killing the other passengers in the car, her brother and father (mom died in ww2). She died a few summers ago, but she was happy. Quote translated from Dutch: “If I died this night, I would stick my fist in the air out of happiness, If I could.”
What a good life mate , imagine suffering like that and still being grateful for life and everything else, only certain people can withstand it. I hope she's in a better place now, Cheers
Dennis. Your great gram was strong eh. I really like that thinking. Of going out in happiness and strength, no matter what happened in one’s life.! It is said that the only thing we take with us when we leave is, wisdom gained.
I only learned about the first five year plan in my history class, I didn't even know there were more. Although I'm pretty sure they were all terrible to live in.
NightmareGD Oh yes, they were. Five year plans were constantly being implemented in factories as well as "national five year plans" for economic "growth". Reality? The workers pretended to work while employers pretended to pay them. It was very common to walk into a grocer's (and always wait in three lines; one to choose your goods, two to pick up a ticket for said goods and three to pay for the goods.) Anyway, you'd walk into a store and see 10,000 toothbrushes and one loaf of bread. Growth was a fairy tale. I try not to cite wiki, but it's fairly accurate for this topic. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_plans_for_the_national_economy_of_the_Soviet_Union
As gruesome as it was to watch, it gives us contrast, a lesson in history, and an appreciation how much better our lives are. Yes, we have our struggles, conflicts and diseases, but we are trending in a direction that maybe in 100-300 years we will have evolved into a species that such extreme hate is replaced with empathy, compassion, mutual understanding, and love. A utopian world- probably not, as there will always be new challenges, and unexpected events. We must also ask this question: What is the purpose of the Earth, and what is humanity's purpose? I have a pretty good idea of what that is, but it's best we each discover that on our own, as it makes it far more interesting.
I would have also mentioned the Russian Civil War and subsequent Povolzhye Famine, Red Terror (also including all NKVD execution/national actions and Stalinist purges), gulags and the Holodomor into number one alongside WWI, the Spanish Flu and WWII. It just compounds the amount of human suffering from 1914-1953 (let's be serious, shit didn't get better after WWII until Stalin died) into the stratosphere.
MachoNachoes It was. In November 2016 freedom and liberty in America ended with the "election" of an orange colored Russian agent who will betray America in exchange for Russian bribes.
Tbh I'd say this shows the absolute resilience of the human race. To think we been through so much shit and can still have a functioning world is just amazing
...the best time to be alive ...the 1970's.... Rock and roll was coming of age, the space age gave millions a greater sense of pride in their country, and , most importantly a cheap and nearly endless supply of Muscle Cars to purchase second hand for $1,000 to 2,000 dollars !
If you want to treat Turkey as a European country because it was a European power...only Japan adopted western technology and political life so avidly in Asia.
Just because things were worse in the past doesn't mean that we shouldn't care about problems today. If you had lived on the street and now you would live on a house but found out that the roof of your house is leaking, then would you just shurg it off as you used to live on the street?
More like I was homeless now I'm complaining my summer homes don't match in wall paper and the floor plan doesn't match either so I must tear them both down so I can be homeless again.
That's one outlook. But from another angle, it puts the small crap in perspective and makes you appreciate how (relatively) good you have it compared to most humans throughout history. Just a thought. Peace!
My great grandfather survived WW1 and the trenches; drank 2 bottles of vodka a day, smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day and died at 27. He was run over by a bus.
This sure puts things in perspective. This corona virus is truly NOTHING compared with anything in this video. The financial situation, again NOTHING. Kind of like comparing a fist fight to WWII. Count your blessings everyone, there's never been a better time to be alive than today.
Cambodia 1975-1979 when the Khmer Rogue murdered 25% of the population, North Korea now, or a slave in the Americas between 1800-1865. They may not be worst then the 5 listed but they were/are terrible. Even more horrifying is how many examples there are to choose from.
If you had to live in one of these times, which would you choose?

Then, his brother was caught in a trench when a chlorine gas attack flooded it all, and he and everyone else coughed their lungs out and died.
My great grandpa survived, and married my great grandma in 1921. She lived until I was 5 years old, dying at 101 years old. 1903-2004 is a hell of a lifespan
Scottie they must of had some great stories to tell

Horrible and unbelievable - but true.
Gas attacks must of been hell, even if you had a gas mask on, your skin would rot away and it would blur your vision so you couldn’t see the enemy, as well as many loud sounds that would kill their eardrums, was your grandfather shellshocked or did he have PTSD? I’m guessing he did but you never know
Being a Russian man during the 20th century would be hell on earth, WW1, get thrown into a camp, WW2, get thrown into another camp. Brutal
@The fastest milkman in the West
Lmao, nice!
Ww1, followed by Civil war, followed by the Spanish flu, followed by Stalin's purges, followed by WW2, followed by more purges. All this suffering yet Russia is still a shithole. Russian men are rolling in their graves
Along with The Russian Revolution and subsequent interventions by countries in Western Europe (White Army/Britain/France/USA vs Red Army/Communists), atrocities done by Stalin, etc. Russia's been through a lot as a nation, even in the centuries prior such as being ruled by the Mongols. Russia has proven what it takes to be a nation and the striving of surviving as a nation.
Remember it was the british who brought the idea, of the concentration camp to russians.
Russia was a disaster before the revolution. People were starving and dying by the millions while the Czars sat in a fucking castle with food.
They were liberated and prosperous because of it. If it wasn't for the Soviets, Nazi Germany might still exist. They played the most crucial role in victory.
The Gulag was for class traitors. It consisted of farmers that refused to help feed the nation. These farmers were price gouging and when told they must sell at reasonable prices, they refused, hid crops for themselves and burned the rest. Then of course, the bourgeoise was sent to gulag or killed because they were part of the exploitation that led to mass starvation and famine.
People often look at the USSR without understanding the full picture and circumstances that lead towards the "horrific" events that is taught in the West. People don't have revolutions because everything is peachy. A big reason Capitalism is so successful is due largely in part to welfare. Keep the poor fed and housed and you keep them content with their mediocre existance. Take away their food, and see how long it takes before they start killing the rich.
You ever notice they don't teach you the words of Communist leaders in school? They don't teach the revolutionary theory or the ideology of the Communist country, they only show you pictures of terrible things that was caused by even worse things.
Everyone shits on Castro as well, but fail to see what Batista was doing that lead to his overthrow. For someone who is supposedly satan reborn,it is interesting that the entire country gathered in the masses and cried when his death was announced.

I think the worst time and place to be alive in human history is about 70,000 years ago when the Toba catastrophe occurred. A super-eruption of a volcano blew up an entire island in Indonesia and caused a global winter for 6-7 years. The global human population was reduced to about 1,000 breeding pairs.
@elmo-- You're absolutely correct. Another person who knows history.
Depends on which definition of history you use. But yeah, that would have been a pretty shit time, even without massive war and disease.
that's prehistory.
We're all inbred

@iTzDaRFYoDa 12357062 lol like Europe!! Difference was that civilians were seldom killed in the disagreements between tribes: it was more civilized than most European wars, and considerably less deadly.
@VI's Very Own inthe algonquin tribes tongue, the term "mohawk" as in the mohawk tribe, stood for "flesh-eater". There was massive torture, cannibalism, etc.

Modernization, WWI, Polio, rearing twenties, great depression, served in W.A.V.E. along with other members of the family during WWII, Cold War beginnings, Korea, Vietnam, Cuban missile crises, Reagan years, gulf and middle eastern conflicts, and 9/11.

My grandfather was born in Germany in 1894. He fought in WWI at the Eastern Front. He then lived through Nazi Rule in Berlin, with his wife and 3 children. His eldest daughter was killed, aged 16, during an air raid in 1944 as the family made their way to an air raid shelter. She was hit by shrapnel and bled to death in the shelter. My dad was 11. My Opa was devoutly Lutheran and he refused to Heil Hitler. He fought back in his own, tiny way.

My grandfather was one of those unfortunates who although badly wounded at Pozieres in 1916, came home, raised three boys in the 30's and put himself thru uni to become a lawyer. He then had the pleasure of watching his eldest go off to war and eventually to Hiroshima 5 weeks after the bomb, where as a dentist he was helping the local survivors. Grandad died in 1959, his wound still weeping, but never heard him complain.
Now the current generation complain about all sorts of fictitious hardships and problems, probably because they have never experienced any kind of reality like this. Time to wake up before it happens again.

As far as worst time regarding warfare, my vote is the eastern front of WWII.
yearoftherat I agree with that completely. German soldiers were sometimes punished by going to the eastern front which was basically a death sentence
BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR, SPRING, 1942
yearoftherat trench warefare...world war 1...
I just showed my grandfather who was a German soldier on the eastern front this comment...and he agreed, he says hes spent every day of his life since just remembering the horrors of his friends being butchered at stalingrad, he spent years in a gulag after being captured, when he came back to Germany years later, he found out that his wife and daughters had all been raped and savagely beaten/tortured by Soviet soldiers, sometimes 70 communist in a day would rape the girls...and they all ended up pregnant with monsters...I unfortunately am the result of one of those rapes...(bear in mind this happened to millions of German girls when the communist entered Germany....it truly was the worst fate, many civilians including innocent children had their eyes gouged out, breast cut off, skinned alive or burned to death after the rapes by the soviets...and the to make matters worse, the Soviets stole many of the more attractive German girls to send back to the Soviet union as sex slaves for communist party officials. And sometimes as servants/replacement wifes for soldiers who lost wifes during the war.. many of the german men who were able bodied were shipped to gulags never to be seen again, the last German soldier/POW left the gulag/prison system in 2014 at the age of 84, he was captured in Berlin 1945 at the age of 14...the poor boy spent his whole life in the Siberian gulags breaking rocks...as for the German girls stolen as war brides/sex slaves none of them ever returned home to my knowledge, but many still live in russia and likely have just accepted that fate, that part of the history was buried mostly due to how depraved it is...I'm sure they were not treated well by the Soviet soldiers since many of them were former SS/wehrmacht wifes and girlfriends....this was the unfortunate fate of my grandfathers wife...all we know is she was sent away to russia in 1945...he has never heard from her again....that war was truly horrible for the German people. It still greatly affects us, and NO we did not start the war, Poland forced it (at the request of the british), look up the danzig corridor and bromburg massacre. And watch "adolf Hitler the greatest story never told" it covers that stuff on archive.org (its banned on UA-cam now)
Anything that happened to the German military was deserved, stop trying to show the Germans as victims! They invaded the Soviet Union and the atrocities and death they caused there is completely unforgivable!
And what happened to the civilians when the Soviets finally invaded German territory is exactly the same as what they were doing to soviet civilians!
They were not victims they were an evil invading force! And luckily for the world the Soviets defeated them

NightmareGD But which one? Five year plans were being put in place all the time in many places.
I only learned about the first five year plan in my history class, I didn't even know there were more. Although I'm pretty sure they were all terrible to live in.
NightmareGD Oh yes, they were. Five year plans were constantly being implemented in factories as well as "national five year plans" for economic "growth". Reality? The workers pretended to work while employers pretended to pay them. It was very common to walk into a grocer's (and always wait in three lines; one to choose your goods, two to pick up a ticket for said goods and three to pay for the goods.) Anyway, you'd walk into a store and see 10,000 toothbrushes and one loaf of bread. Growth was a fairy tale.

You and me. We want to suffer.
Perhaps to temporarily feel the relative luxury that modern escapes like this video tend to drown out?
More depressing than the video is that so many of the comments/responses here reveal such deep ignorance.
As gruesome as it was to watch, it gives us contrast, a lesson in history, and an appreciation how much better our lives are.
Yes, we have our struggles, conflicts and diseases, but we are trending in a direction that maybe in 100-300 years we will have evolved into a species that such extreme hate is replaced with empathy, compassion, mutual understanding, and love.
A utopian world- probably not, as there will always be new challenges, and unexpected events.
We must also ask this question:
What is the purpose of the Earth, and what is humanity's purpose?
I have a pretty good idea of what that is, but it's best we each discover that on our own, as it makes it far more interesting.
However, Now, we live in a time with 60 Genders.

@@wesnorthcutt639 Nah just wasnt funny
🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
I can relate
Oeg Rivalry
Excuse me?
200 million...that’s tragic on such a grand mind boggling scale !!!
So is the 80 million dead from Communism in China, alone.
But muh Covid 19.
First half of the 20th century. It was REALLY recently! Have human's mind changed a much since then? Don't think so
Well we don’t have racist dictators in Europe murdering Jews rn so I’d say yex
MY great great grandfather served in ww2 and got 5 purple hearts 1 medal of honer
Millennials be like: "OMG 2016 was the worst year ever!"
You know what I hate? Stereotypes, feck off mate
MachoNachoes way to generalize an entire genoration of people
2016 was paradise compared to the 1930's.
Jacob Woolf its true and both u and me know it
MachoNachoes It was. In November 2016 freedom and liberty in America ended with the "election" of an orange colored Russian agent who will betray America in exchange for Russian bribes.
Tbh I'd say this shows the absolute resilience of the human race. To think we been through so much shit and can still have a functioning world is just amazing
So much shit caused by humans
...the best time to be alive ...the 1970's.... Rock and roll was coming of age, the space age gave millions a greater sense of pride in their country, and , most importantly a cheap and nearly endless supply of Muscle Cars to purchase second hand for $1,000 to 2,000 dollars !
jawn1977jaws wrong. Best time to be alive is 1941 western ussr
jawn1977jaws LMFAOOOOO
I'm a Black feamle and the best time to be alive was in the 1800's...... Wait nvm.
PrincessAshley121 Oh, so your just trying to find a way to be an ass. Damn racist.
.no good time to live; many good times to die.
You didnt metion the Armenians during the armenian genocide
If you want to treat Turkey as a European country because it was a European power...only Japan adopted western technology and political life so avidly in Asia.
michael mahrous oy vey neva forget armenian shoah
There whas no genocide the western powers are trying to make armenians mad and fuck with turkey
Never happen
michael mahrous never happen
And people complain about whats going on nowadays...
Just because things were worse in the past doesn't mean that we shouldn't care about problems today.
If you had lived on the street and now you would live on a house but found out that the roof of your house is leaking, then would you just shurg it off as you used to live on the street?
More like I was homeless now I'm complaining my summer homes don't match in wall paper and the floor plan doesn't match either so I must tear them both down so I can be homeless again.
People get their feelings hurt over the stupidest things. This is the century of pussies
Yeah these pussies really think they have it rough..thats the funny thing.
We still have Africa, North Korea, and The Middle East, them places don't look like fun
I’m afraid to give this a thumbs up but it was well done.
What a world we live in...
It can be beautiful, though.
0. A Jewish person living in Jerusalem when the Romans purged it
ButterWarriorcj Yes, the great tribulation generation prophesied by Jesus... Matthew 24:34, 21.
I would include Cambodia in The Khmer Rouge
You left out the great continent of Africa during European colonisation and the slave trade it was subjected to!
He sounds European so he didn't want to include 2 things that made Europeans sound bad in the video.
iRealZeta no most of us are pretty open about europe’s bad past
The atlantic slave trade pales in comparison to anything on this list.
Even the american slavery african slavery was like 500 years how can you not mention that or even Belgium ruling of the Congo it was a genocide
thats because africa is always a bad place to live
Well, that was the most depressing 18 minutes of my life
Yes! Mine too!
That's one outlook. But from another angle, it puts the small crap in perspective and makes you appreciate how (relatively) good you have it compared to most humans throughout history. Just a thought. Peace!
I take it you never watched a theresa may speech
@@paulanthony5274 How true
Be greatful for what you have guys
Roberto Vela I'm a girl

TakeoutLime47 really? Would you seriously correct someone whilst they said an inspirational quote? Jackass
I ain't growing to ww1 because my great great grandfather was a commanding German officer.
for starters; during the next war they would've had to take commands from a fucking Corporal...
Mike Kozenko taking command from any corporal is always annoying, specially in highschool
Cooldude 59 if I went back to WW1 I would be killed by the ottomans so I have to stay inside all day sucks tho.
Same
My great grandfather survived WW1 and the trenches; drank 2 bottles of vodka a day, smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day and died at 27. He was run over by a bus.
My ex husband's twin brother made it through Vietnam and got killed by a drunk driver smashing into him doing like 80 mph in a truck.
Cambodia comes to mind as a bad time/area to live through.
The gaze from the man on the last frame is frightening. To all that have fought, and died. GOD BLESS &
REST IN PEACE.
Amen.
And to those whom fought and lived may peace be upon you.
This sure puts things in perspective. This corona virus is truly NOTHING compared with anything in this video. The financial situation, again NOTHING. Kind of like comparing a fist fight to WWII. Count your blessings everyone, there's never been a better time to be alive than today.
2017:
We have Jake Paul.
:D
and despashito
You are prusian
Robert Koch true haha
Who's that?
Cambodia under communist rule definitely could have made the list
Pol Pot: "Am I a joke to you?"
Bet Switzerland was laughing in early 20th Century. :D
Wow very well done. Very informative. Thank you. and it inspired in me to look into becoming a history teacher.
Cambodia 1975-1979 when the Khmer Rogue murdered 25% of the population, North Korea now, or a slave in the Americas between 1800-1865. They may not be worst then the 5 listed but they were/are terrible. Even more horrifying is how many examples there are to choose from.
I think you need to learn about history. There's thousands of years of slavery, war, rape, etc. All this modern shit is nothing in comparison.
