Welcome to my Channel. I try to do researched content about various topics ranging from history, political science and more and more and more. I have a long list, and yeah I actually have a list of videos that I want to make in the future. I constantly update that list and post it in the community tab monthly. My patreons then vote on which topic comes next. The process by which I currently work is to make a short video (about 12-30 minutes long) followed by a long video (about 1-2 hours long) and to try to do two videos a month. I hope you enjoy what I have made if you want to leave feedback

Sign the petition to keep humans in control of AI here Many thanks to #TeamHuman and to @MrSpherical for taking the time and patience to guiding my attention toward the issue of A.I development, and to the fact that more political action and international agreements are needed to restrain the potential damage that A.I could do to us all if not kept under control of humans.

1848 is one of the most momentous and important years in modern European history, often referred to as the Spring of Nations. Almost the entire European continent erupted in uprsisings and revolutions in March of 1848, and although most of these revolutions were crushed, they would significantly reshae Europe at large. In my videos I usually focus on longer periods of time, but I consider this event of such significance that it deserves its own video.

The Napoleonic order completely shattered the political order and social contract upon which Austrian rule of Hungary had been built throughout previous centuries. At the end of the Napoleonic wars, facing crisis of political legitimacy, national identity, and economy, Hungary embarked on a multiple decade long project to reform and modernise itself, largely driven by a newly politically engaged aristocracy, to find a place within an increasingly modernising Europe.

Guest: Austrian Rule
After taking over Hungary in 1526 and receiving its crown, the new Habsburg rulers set out on a two century long project of integrating the Hungarian kingdom into the Austrian Habsburg Empire. The tools used to do so ranged from the counter reformation, to attempts at restructuring the state itself into smaller subdivisions. However, the attempts at building a heavily centralised absolutist imperial state largely failed.

The History of Hungary begins with a bit of Geography. The Hungarians arrived in Europe during the 9th century, and settled in the Pannonian Basin, one of the most fertile and well protected stretches of land in Europe. From there, the Hungarian continued to build one of the most powerful kingdoms of medieval Europe. In this video, that story is told.

Largely dismissed at the time of publication, and mostly mocked by students in the fields of Political Science and IR, the book has nevertheless remained relevant.

A while ago I started working on a video critiquing Samuel Huntington and his Cultural Determinism. That being the idea that cultures are what drives all political development. I encountered a problem while writing the video. I read the comments under my videos, and realised that a lot of you do not know what the difference between an "institution" and a "culture" is.

When communism died in 1989 by far the most difficult challenge a newly independent Poland faced, was the building of positive relations with Ukraine. In this video we examine how despite all difficulties, Poland and Ukraine still managed to build positive relations. We also examine how Poland tried and failed to build positive relations with Belarus, and why Belarus will probably continue to be one of the main foreign policy challenges that Poland will face in the future.

In this video we examine and present his writings and ideas.

Ostpolitik was a policy initiative initiated by the German social democrats during the 1960s to approach the communist block and establish releations that could deescalate the cold war. In this video we go into detail over what Ostpolitik was, where it came from and how it succeeded during the 1960s and 1970s.

Everyone knows that Germany has an awful Bureaucracy. More than just a stereotype or joke, life in Germany means that eventually you will have to undergo a somewhat humiliating ritual of submitting yourself to the German Paper god and his wimbs. In the previous video we discussed the opposing political forces of Prussian Militarism and the decentralised state of the Holy Roman Empire. Both these forces pushed into different political directions.

Everyone knows how notoriously awful the German paper bureaucracy is. It's a stereotype, but it is also a stereotype based on facts and truth. The German state bureaucracy is horribly tedious to navigate. In these two videos I would like to explore where it came from. Together with another famous German institution, militarism. Which famously drove Germany into two world wars.

Most state rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda sucks.

France is famous for having a heavily centralised and big state with a huge buerocracy. In many ways France invented the modern buerocratic state. In this video, a collaboration with my friend @ravinelux we try to tell the story of how the centralised french state came to be.

The Postwar matters. In the bleakness and horrors of the war we are currently witnessing in Europe, it is important to remind ourselves that this war will also end. This matters. It is upon us who believe in a free and democratic Europe to support our ukrainian brothers and sisters in their striving for victory. BUT it is also upon us all to imagine a world after the war.

Ravignon's beautiful series on the history of Quebec With there being a lot of talk about a new space race in the media, I thought it may be a good idea to make a little video covering the geopolitics of space. Focused a little more on geography than usual I would like to give you a good overview of the geopolitics of space travel and what the future space race may look like.

Correcting some errors in the video. 1: Swiss mandatory military service does not last 5 years. I have a Swiss friend who told me that it took him 5 years to complete his service. And I have assumed from then on that it takes 5 years. I did not know that the Swiss have the option of splitting up their mandatory service over a time period of 5 years or completing it all at once within one single year. In actuality, Swiss mandatory military service lasts 245 days.
