1:00 one thing to interject here, about how radical it was. English as a language is virtually void of gender. Gendered language is usually just a -man suffix and just a few words, so it's super easy to not use gendered language. Slavic languages are extremely gendered. Each noun has a gender, each adjective has a gender, verbs are gendered as well sometimes (in Polish: past and present continuous conditional). Because of the revolution a huge change was imposed, to make all nouns describing jobs masculine, because "worker doesn't have a gender". Now many people resist switching back to feminative forms, because they got used to what's essentially "Madam <masculine form>". Like a headmaster (I wanted to go with teacher first, but feminative of this one survived). A man would be "dyrektor" or "pan dyrektor" (Pan originally meant Lord, but now is used as a polite title). A women headmaster would be "Pani dyrektor" (Pani means Lady, same as Pan) instead of the original feminative "dyrektorka" (or "Pani Dyrektorka" if you want to be polite) For decades people needed to have that hammer into them, because lot's of those forms are unnatural for Polish language. Gender is just so baked into the language, that kids just naturally use faminatives, even if some of them feel unnatural (because those are exception, where feminatives didn't follow general rules). Anyway, now there's a push for bringing them back and some people are annoyed about it, others support it, because why a women should be refereed to using a masculine form and a lot of people support it because it's more natural grammar-wise. Plus of course some phrases, like "demoludy". Demoludy, from Demokracje Ludowe, meaning People's Democracies. Or how it impacted the society - my grandparents were all educated engineers, coming from dirt poor peasants, if not for the equalizing nature, I would be in a much worse sociological situation then I'm right now (source: cousins, who didn't went to universities)

Mr terry i think you keep forgeting serfdom was abolished in 1862 and before ww1 russia was rapidly industrializing before ww1. Of course i'm not saying the bolsheviks didn't implement a lot of reforms and that life wasn't good for most people, but you seem to forget this everytime you watch videos on the russian revolution. edit: You did mention it, but in general i think my point stands.

If Russia never turned left-wing, I could probably see it turning to the extreme right instead. Something similar to Fascist Italy

Make no mistake. Mussolini or no Mussolini, there is no nazi Germany without communism. It's what scared italy into fascism in the first place! Communists running amok in Rome and across Europe hoping to destroy the powers that be for anarchy.

Maybe could've prevented the killing of the entire Russian king's family?

Communism isn't socialism. It's harsh dictatorship. There's no freedom. There's no equality. There's no help for the poor. There's no healthcare for the poor. There's very few ways for poor to become middle class, let alone upper class.

Why is that tho, the American revolution doesn’t seem like a revolution at all and more of a war of independence? When I talk about the subject I often use the term revolutionary war but somehow it doesn’t feel like it.

I would go as far as 1910 to change everything for fhe better

From the German perspective Austria acted to slow. They assumed Austria would act immediately to use the wave of upset going through Europe. The blank check is actually a quite complicated topic. The deep reasons why Germany went through with it was since they expected that France and Russia planed a war at some point anyways (why else would France invest in the Railway infrastructure that was designed to help Russia to mobilise against Germany). And with the perception everyone outside of Russia had about Russia they expected to lose any war set in the future by virtue of Russia catching up in terms of industry and technology. So a war now was preferable and a lot of the other bad decisions followed from that assumption. The truth was of course that France did these investments expecting that Germany seeks a war at some future point (why else would Germany invest so much to be able to mobilise lightning fast against France ...). Classic catch 22 just on national doctrine level.

Not gonna lie, compared to Cody’s other videos, this one felt very phoned in and lazy with a lot of leaps in logic and assumptions based on some pretty flimsy evidence. He gives Kolchak and the Whites far too much credit and even if they managed to overpower the Reds - honestly assuming we even get to this point without Lenin is already a huge stretch but I digress - it seems almost certain to me they would have broken down again into a Monarchist v Liberal second civil war lasting even further into the 20s, not that they would have cleaned up almost immediately, that just seems a stretch, even with his channel being about exploring implausible scenarios. I’m guessing it was something he did while working on other projects like Outremer he’s actually passionate about and this was just to keep him in the algorithm/to pay the bills. Honestly I’d have preferred to see a reaction to his Chernobyl video from a month or two ago. That was far more interesting and thought provoking, whereas I just don’t see the passion in this one I see with his other projects, cos even if I disagree with his conclusions, I respect how he got there. But with this, I just can’t see it.

Not strictly what if related but if anyone's interested in a serious take in what the Soviet ideology entailed I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's relative video

Second

This is one of the more poorly made videos ive seen from Cody, I wonder if he’s burnt out or something

first

It’s always funny to that’ the Soviets claimed to be communist but were actually just hard left wing socialists with totalitarian regimes

that slaves wanting to be bought is like the job market today, historical jokes arent always about the past

If i want your front yard and backyard, i got a million way to get it.❤🎉😊

Viet Nam is the people army, not a trainer army!❤

Viet nam America war❤🎉😊

Oh being average height for the time is *tight!*

They really should bring this absurdity life. No one would be physically capable of violence or crime, due to the extreme sobs and salted tears from laughing your head off. Yet today if you DO laugh your cancelled....

I am trying to figure out why Saskatchewan was mentioned

I love the idea of vocational schools. One thing a lot of school districts need to do to not paint these vocational schools as the bad kids schools. The place that you send troubled or failing students

Yeah it's fairly hard for us but the ground harness makes it much easier

I like to imagine my man Terry here taking a fat dab right before turning on recording

What is the price of an idea? New ideas have a prIce. Is the price worth the cost/ Sometimes old ideas are better. How do you find out? Just akiing.

thanks for the laughs, not as good as prior ones with the heavy use of the EU. Think the AI just replaced every Union with the EU. I think that AI needs the plug pulled. On that one island he just used Australia side ways was a bit lame in the art part. Still, it was funny but some of the prior ones had me laughing so hard my throat took 2 days to heal.

Prior to this, the US was allied with the shah of Iran. We gave them a lot of arment. Small ships, aircraft, missiles, etc. The overthrow happened, the hostage crises, etc. To me, it's memories, not history.

My first thought were why is this of any interest, everybody knows this. Then I rtealized they don't. This is why history is important. Unlike me, pay attention in school. Shit happened and you'll learn about it.

I wasn't expecting the use of the xcom sectoid during the history of rome lol

This was not a video to try and eat with

“Can you answer my question you fucking traitor states rights to do WHAT?!”

I think the Southeast Asian countries are coming in because he’s translating through Southeast Asian languages

At 10:18 the "fire in Washington state" was probably the British attack on Washington, D.C. This was when the British set the White House and the Capitol building on fire in the War of 1812 (which lasted until 1814, but yeah). People here like to say that *Canada* burnt down the White House, but technically Canada didn't exist as a country yet. Still, just in case...sorry!

With the urine collector, this job was also a thing in 17th centry London. It was collected by milk man. It wad used to make salk petter, an ingrediant to make gunpowder

As an Indiana resident I’m glad we recognized ourselves

What do you think of this timeline?

My top 10 10. Mao Massacre 9. Bubonic plague 8. Raise and fall of the Roman empire 7. Magna Carta 6. Vlad III 5. Dotcom bubble crash 4. Prohibition era 3. New deal 2. Wars of the Roses 1. Hundred years wars

Aug 1945 ... Japanese plan to drop radiological bomb (not atom bomb) on San Francisco. Foiled since German sub traveling from Germany to Japan, sunk by Allies earlier in 1945.

Is crazy that one of the reasons tx is part of US is bc they refused to end slavery

Yes, high school teachers are choking, but not on kinder's toys! 🤨🫤🤦‍♂️ It's also interesting how he doesn't bring up the fact that the laws like the ones that ban kinder are because American parents aren't parenting any more and over burden the school system...

Grimace is a tastebud

This guy is really annoying. To borrow a Cunk line, "Make it stop."

The most fitting label of cowards started long ago with the French, but really took hold in WWII after the epic cowardly act France did but was cemented in Vietnam after the French got utterly destroyed by a rag tag Vietnamese force. The Vietnamese sent farmers & peasants equipped with pitchforks & old rusty rifles but still beat the best troops the French had to offer, in a total & complete dominance- And now France has sent some of its girl power military into Russia??? Too funny

Sounds like you'll make an excuses mate 😂

And the UK is above you in being free 👉👈🖕

9:01 "NASA does not work in a vacuum anymore" They quite literally do. Thats the entire point of the organization

RIP Limenade. Thank god reaction videos pretty much archived his countryball videos.

its not just seizing the means of production but also controlling it. if the government controlls my means of production with laws and regulations then i dont really own my own means of prodution do i? in 2020 many small businesses were leagally forced to close for good. thats by definition the opposite of capitalism. this is why i laugh at this popular use of the word capitalism.
