ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

Cheers for the opportunity Lewis. Fun little chat. Hope I've not traumatised your subscribers too much!
It was a great chat! I enjoyed it very much. Thanks, Axiom!
Great interview, please do more on politics etc. Please do research on "Inflation", an economic phenomenon apparently but really is just a way for "Producers" (haves) to steal more money off the "Consumers" (have nots). US Fed has a policy of putting consumers on unemployment to try to solve inflation, by raising rates. The whole system is corrupt...
This is great! Great interview and this is something long overdue.
Many thanks 😀
Please more of this!
More! Sounded like there's plenty more for both of you to explore.
I personally don't mind having everything on one channel.
I'll be honest, ideally I'd like to keep everything on one channel, but RUclips's algorithm doesn't like mixed-channels. So with this being a completely different style of content, it may not go with the rest of the videos. If I create a second channel, this sort of video, updates, and other behind the scenes type content could go on that, reserving this channel for the fully-sourced and referenced content.
But wouldn't it become a bit of a soup than? I mean, also others might mind too? Just thinking out loud here... Many people are here for battlestorm-like stuff, and they might leave? I dunno, again just thinking out loud. A clear and nice division might leave it more organized.
And than there's the algorithm ofcourse... Sigh. That Evil incarnate devilish creation lol
agreed
Drach seems to do OK with having interviews, food tastings, museum tours, 5 minute guides, battle analysis, Fun Fridays, Rum Ration, and day long Q&A sessions. Maybe there is a trick to branding/presenting the channel so that the Evil Algorithm overlooks mixed content and just considers it all of a (broad) kind?
@@RonOhio The thing Drach has is consistency in theme, no matter how tangential it might be, his videos are always (or close enough to it) about naval history, where TIK already have several categories that he operates in like military history, political history, and political theory, and while those categories of course are connected, they are much harder to encompass with a single narrow term that the youtube algorithm will actually like.
The fact that we still don't have a TIK made tshirt merch that says "stick to tanks" with a big Hafthohlladung mine picture is a crime against humanity...
I would definitely buy that 100%
"But is this really the case?" Is what it should say.
there should be a mug with the label "communist tears"
The suggestions in this thread became a reverse brain expanding meme huahuahua
I would buy one as well if this becomes a thing.
I'm one of the madmen who managed to watch your 5-hour video. I did it at some point in recent years. It blew my mind. It made me think "wait, if _that_ was a lie, what _else_ is?" I've been diving into the rabbit hole since 😂. I can't thank you enough.
Edit: I'll add you're not controversial. You're truthful. Just because you're outside the Overton window doesn't mean the facts are disputed. Instead, the facts are _denied._ That's not controversy, that's grifting, denial, delusions, or a mix.
spot on, old shoe.
I wholeheartedly concur.
But i didn't manage in one go...
@@guidor.4161 neither did I. I watched it over four days. I did manage to watch it, though. If you watched it with breaks, so did you 🙂.
Indeed😅 @@sakikhakihaki1267
I have conversations like this with my grandma for 1-2 hours straight. We call it solving the world’s problems.
If your grams was Maggie Thatcher then you're on the right track.
SHOW ME YOUR BIG FAT TIK!!!!
Christ next they will be on about how great British Empire was😅
@@josephstewart516 well, by every measurable way it was great.
ottomans, egpyptians, and mongolians green with envy.
Me and my grandma take meds
I’m a big fan of your channel! Happy New Year & thanks for the excellent content!
Good to hear, and Happy New Year to you too! This video's a bit different from normal, but I hope you enjoy it for what it is
Hey Tik - Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you too!
This is such a great and genuine conversation; it felt as natural as it was educational :)
couple of quality dudes, wish i was a regular at their favorite pubs.
I caught up with your STALINGRAD playlist over the Christmas period and realised just how much you gave and you invested in that and whilst I haven't always been in agreement with you I just wanted to say thank you, best wishes 🙏 ☘️
Perhaps each episode can focus on a specific political topic or philosophy, or be a response to a common bad take that you as a historian disagree with.
So, a central theme for each episode rather than a random mash like this one was? That sounds sensible
@@TheImperatorKnight I agree, perhaps another video could delve into your various political and historical hottakes, and defend them from criticisms (non specific ones to avoid drama of course) as it’s always interesting to see how people think differently.
@@TheImperatorKnightPlease do another of this type, meaning organic, sincere and casual. Yesterday, I watched a recent video by Peter Boghossian, with Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) and Nina Power. Though the public setting is surely less appealing to you personally security, rightly so imo, I noted the importance of the backdrop and think it was excellent. This isn’t to say that you need be outside (dress warm if you do, so that your thinking isn’t influenced by the elements), only that the setting can affect you and the audience. Sit in front of a fireplace or something idk.
Personally, per content, the North Africa, Sicily, Italy (grandfather fought there), Normandy (though tons has been done, so I’d at least suggest a novel approach or lesser known stories/questions) and Market Garden all sound great and should find interest, so many people already having varied levels of knowledge and opinions!
Idk if something more niche is as advisable, or perhaps the opposite is true, but TONS of WWII stories exist which might interest some, even certain ones that have either been covered by a documentary or a movie. Here’s a few, quotes denoting a movie title:
Operation Fortitude
“Heroes of Telemark”
The Enigma/Bletchley Park/Alan Turing/“U-571”
Slapping incident per Patton
Saipan ‘Censor-cide Cliff’
The USS Indianapolis/“Jaws”, the incredible story of its captain, McVeigh, his court martial and subsequent censor-cide
Thanks again. Bye for now.
@@junior.von.claire the Holodomor to that sounds interesting
@TheImperatorKnight I sense a podcast series?
I think that content with 2 intellectuals having civilised, knowledgable debate and or conversation is great so i would personally say go for it. You mentioned about answering some questions from older videos; i think if they are smaller questions you could answer some of the questions from your patreon supporters plus other platforms as an added benefit for their contribution. All the best Tik 👍
How nice to see you in this setting! Enjoying the video and the channel in general. Seems like you have been yourself all this time. Wish you the best for 2024!
I'm a big fan of your channel TIK and have been watching your channel since 2019 or 2020. Happy new year.
Uh oh TIK's about the catch the podcast bug.
I hope you do more of these type of videos tbh, as someone who has been studying history for a while, I have also struggled with the "How do I know i'm right?" Question and i'm glad you brought it up since it turns up we've both came to the same conclusion
I am almost entirely through this and I love it! I enjoy these kind of channels where people just talk.
I love this type if video TIK, it doesn't all have to involve eye-glazing levels of detail
Oh it does ,lol 😮
Love your videos. This conversational style helps me to understand some of the ideas in other videos I might not entirely get. The back and forth allows for question and clarification that can help a listener better understand. Would love to see more of these.
And this was great, ive never thought you were anything but a sincere and thorough presenter, so its nice to have this other content to confirm that
As a casual WW2 interest person I first found Tik on my recommended feed, but it was Tiks Public vs Private video that blew my mind and what I thought I knew was completely wrong, eg public corporations were capitalist.
Thanks Tik for the hard work you put in I hope you keep it up for you have become a beacon of truth for me.
Think a bit longer on it. If everything other than sole proprietorship is "public" and therefore not capitalism then all human progress happened under public activity and not capitalism. Even under ancient societies great projects weren't usually completed by a single atomic family, they were usually completed by alliances between several families. Basically the era's equivalent of corporations. In fact... TIK even alludes to this discussing how cities were formed from several tribes or families. You can break this down, usually it's two or more tribes that historically settled to form a city, those tribes being formed out of several families. So all the big events are "public." When you get to industrialization and mass production well, joint stock corporations to accrue the financing, the capital, state support of the industry all of it "public." So the definition isn't really all that useful.
Capitalism really isn't when "one person does something alone." It's more about the nature of why we produce and how we organize money. Ie money's debt aspect is prime whereas 600 years ago money's commodity aspect was it's most defining characteristic.
@@colonel__klink7548 sure but all great ideas start with the individual, and we've seen plenty of historical evidence of keeping ideas suppressed by the public. As they say the individual can live without the state but the state cannot exist without the individual.
@vandalcreed A group doesn't have a shared mind, therefore a group doesn't come up with an idea. You're very valid with that point. However, a bit of clarification, coming up with most of the economically productive ideas is not what the leadership class comes up with. We are inundated with the glories of the great CEO and business leader but the CEO of Bell Labs or Intel didn't come up with the solution to the problem the incompatible chemistry of copper conductive material in silicon semiconductors. (Computer chips till like... 2000 were made with aluminum as it played nice with the silicon. Copper was an incredible challenge that needed to be met to allow smaller transistors on the chip and improve processor efficiency. ) These innovations are almost always developed by employees. Non leaders. The people who aren't hailed as celebrities, the people who don't actually accrue billions of dollars in wealth. The only people who cheer them on are academics who have read their papers off the Harvard website.
And the interesting thing is that those people usually come up with those ideas thanks to PUBLIC discussions through the academic processes through the public research university system. We hail google, but all the technologies that actually make this system possible were developed by individuals who really did not financially benefit from it.
What this is to say is the idea that we are rewarding those who most contribute to our society is really false. Where I come into contest with communists is that I know that leadership is actually needed and useful. The difference between competent leaders who are able to identify competence, set goals, motivate and *get the hell out of the way* and incompetent leaders or none at all is night and day. However our system is really not designed to reward hard work (a garbage man works harder than most of us.) Nor does it even reward great ideas the best. It doesn't even reward leaders the best. Outside of a figure like Musk (who was given 53BN worth of stock as a reward for figuring out how to inflate stock evaluation, not actually improve the company's bottom line) most of the proceeds of everyone's work goes to financiers. Essentially "capital." It goes to people who provided the seed material, not the great idea man.
Again those people deserve compensation, unlike what communists say. My personal politics is more about tweaking distribution.
I love your view on the world, history and in person you are a great person probably. I think, if we would drink a pint in the same pub, we'll talk about all this and beyond.
Great video TIK!
Don't listen he'll glass you in the eye after five boddies.
The key issue is understanding the importance of the narrative. The narrative is what controls humanity.
Anything that is in conflict with the narrative will be opposed by those who follow the narrative.
Nonono you're wrong Tik! You have to use the evidence to fit a narrative that people are happy with! This has been the known proper way of doing things for at least the past decade now. Get with the times! Seriously though, I appreciate your work and I enjoy your content. I've been educated many a time, I've had my own theories debunked and enhanced, and through all of it has taught me to check things for myself if I want to know more or even if something has thrown me for a loop. My only complaint is that there's no airforce/air battles in your content. More of this please!
Great conversation.
Ignore the detractors who play the man and not the ball. If they can substantiate an argument fair play to them, but I don't see that often. I know of no other content creator who cities his sources as thoroughly as you, and the depth and breadth of the sources is very commendable. We'd all be better off if everyone considered one's words as deeply as you do.
Looking forward to another great year of your videos. Best regards to you and your endeavours.
This was very fun and informative.
All human knowledge is provisional: Physics, History, even Mathematics.
One has a duty to make a best effort with the information available at the time.
To this day tik is the only channel i have notifications on
Tik can you go on the Lotus Eaters podcast please? They've referenced your work a few times and there's nothing I love more than crossover episodes.
I'm not ready for that sort of thing, but it's something I have considered.
That's a fantastic idea
The silly icon over Axiom's face instead of just going over the image cracks me up.
I can find great history books at a store in America here called Half Price Books. It's a regional second hand chain, but they do have new stuff as well. They have amazing old war books. So if you ever visit America, check one out. I found many books about the Civil War that wouldn't be made today. Last history book I got there was "Prisoners of the Japanese" which mostly focuses on western POWs.
I haven't any plans to go to America any time soon, but if I do, I'll check them out
@@TheImperatorKnight Great store. They do online orders as well, I don't know if they it internationally.
I love Half price books! I recently bought “The guns of August” from there. Very good prices. The only problem is that since the books are cheap, I keep buying more than I can read at a time lol!
@@Lunareclipse1996 I got most of my manga collection there.
The Half Price Books by me in the Atlanta area have a deep, deep Military History section with many different sources and view points. They do mail order too on their site.@@TheImperatorKnight
Love it! Very authentic and very human. Hope we have more of these wonderful types of genuine conversations. Thank you so much!
I always thought you might fit in well with other conservative cultural commentators on RUclips like Nerdrotic, Friday Night Tights, Critical Drinker, Shadiversity, etc. You face a lot of the same challenges, like your relationship with the WW2 channel seems to mirror Shadiversity and Scholagladiatoria fallout, etc
Lotus Eaters too
Even "equality of opportunity" is egalitarian. You can't have that either I'm afraid.
I like to imagine TIK is sitting in his comfy gamer chair while Axiom is sat on some wooden crate. 😭
He knows how to treat his mates ;) it did have some padding at least.
I'm surprised to hear you get lots of criticism. I've always found you to be personable, well-read and pleasantly free of egotism and self-importance. Of all the armchair historians on RUclips I find you to be the most convincing. No historian has a monopoly on truth because all sources can be compromised, everyone adds a degree of subjectivity regardless of their desire for objectivity and unless you're the eye-witness every account has to be regarded as potentially flawed. All we can do is strive to get as close to the truth as we can. I think you do this very well. Keep your chin up and take a holiday from time to time.
To be real, the problem today is a lack of responsibility
When the CEO messes up, unless the (if applicable) board of directors calls for his resignation, the cuts will inevitably happen in the bottom
Added: having a full time job should cover the cost of living with a level of comfort
As of current, this seems to be under a lot of pressure
Casual TIK is fun to listen to, definitely eager for more content like this that I can listen to while cooking/driving 💪
In honesty, you could make it a separate series on the main channel '' a friendly chat with TIK '' '' episode 1'' because I've seen RUclipsrs posting on secondary channels, and it works fine and some even encourage it, but the viewing stats sometimes show that having multiple types of content have better results in the long term, per example, what I have come to conclude is that subscriber count doesn't mean anything, like I've seen 1 mil+ channels only getting 50k+ views, so it's more based if people want to watch it or not, yes the genre has to be still history based otherwise it's clashing with each other and the viewer base mixes too much. But in the end if people scream with pitchforks that there is need for a second channel to be made then follow the masses
I enjoy the format and conversation. Regardless whether you stick with this format or another, I think its important for you to be able to make "easy" content both from a burn out standpoint and viewership too. Keep it up!
And to think I've been suggesting you should make videos like this for months now. Well, kinda, like do livestreams. Not everything has to be a live or death researched in depth. The one thing people like in youtubers over TV personalities is authenticity. You don't always have to be right, but just be you.
I do agree that not everything has to be super-researched and right, and I agree that authenticity is important. However, I think, given the nature of the topics we're covering (WW2, Mr H etc) it would be very easy to mess up and accidentally say the wrong thing. We both made really bad slips of the tongues when recording this video, and that's why there's some cuts. Despite trying to keep his anonymity, I accidentally said Axiom's real name several times. This is why I don't think livestreams are an option for me/us.
@@TheImperatorKnight You don't have to do with your friend. But I think your viewers will forgive the odd mistake as being part of the heath of the moment. And I really want you to be on podcasts like Brokenomics with Dan and the History Guy. Trust me, it won't be as bad as you think. The guys from Friday Night Tights know that every word they say gets scrutinized by their haters and that they can and will get clipped and be used against. They seem to do fine. Hell, your own carefully scripted videos already get clipped out of context by your haters. Haters gonna hate. But if you want to reach more viewers you have to be willing to put yourself out there. Just be you, we will have your back, and let the haters hate.
Is TIK in a video gamer chair?
I really appreciate your well researched and produced information given on this channel, as well as your humor by injecting a funny "text bubble comment" , or , even a picture, like the one you put of our President TDR at one time, and I don't mind the mix of things as you did before.
@TIK, your friend may not need this, but, word of warning, the weirdos will find out who he is anyways. because they're weirdos and will dedicate time to it. But, can understand the anonymity.
Happy to have this on the same channel as yer other stuff, do you plan to do this like once a week or once a fortnight or something?
I think what you are doing is beyond heroical, you looked into the darkest parts of humanity and yet came back stronger. Your investigative research into the depth of these horrible people and their cult is truly shocking, but this shared clarity lays the foundation for a bright future - one that will outshine anything that these cultists could imagine.
A free university course for Mr Tik every month
Great guy, humane and clear.
Keep em coming sir, we love you and thank you for your devotion to truth and clarity. In mad times, your reason and sanity are very much needed
I was wondering when you'd make a video like this
Glad to finally get an insight into yourself tik
I can’t wait for the sequel, an unfriendly talk with Tik
No sources?
Where's your quotation for every sentence?🧐
Kidding!
Awesome as usual👊
Haha there's a reason it didn't take long to edit!
This would definitely be a good thing for a Second Channel that you can put up when you're feeling burnt out or need something to put up while working on a big project. TIKConversations maybe? And then just put a notification in the community tab so people subscribed to the main channel can see it.
Maybe also polls on topics that'd be great.
That’s just what I need.
Two friends talk to each other!
I enjoyed this format :) hope you have a lovely weekend!
Happy New Year Lewis!
I enjoy your Q&As and more laid back content just as much as fully insightful one. As for second channel, I personally think it is much better to split sourced vs. laid back for a couple of reasons.
People who are here more for you, like to watch any type of your content because they know it’s gonna be interesting. So no matter 1st or 2nd channel they are gonna be there.
For those who are for more general and algorithm hitting stuff, it might throw them off when you come out with “sub-par” content.
As for algorithm itself, your more “chill” videos can still do really well even on second channel if they do hit the algorithm with the title and thumbnail. There are plenty of channels out there where secondary channels sometimes do better than main ones. Obviously it depends on the content but as a person who did somewhat well with RUclips, that would be my way to go. Keep the main channel for what it’s “known for” and 2nd for those who want the extra info, trivial or not.
Good luck!
This interview was a great idea TIK. Your meticulous pursuit for the truth of things is always inspiring. Thank you again, and Happy New Year to you.
Lazerpig crossover next please. Would be quite the contrast.
Tik, i am genuinely sorry for all the hate you get. Im not one of those ppl but i just get so frustrated with the tribalism and ignorance of ppl. I think you present your arguments very well, you do your homework and present your findings in a pretty straightforward way. It just really annoys me that a man trying to educate ppl gets treated like a douchebag. Know that some of us really appreciate what you do Tik and will continue to support you.
PS: i wouldn't worry so much about Socialists hating on you Tik. Nothing seems to please those ppl. They dont seem to function within reality very well. I was more liberal when i was younger and then i got older and started realizing i wanted to keep the fruits of my labour and i want the government less involved in my day to day life. All those socialists policies seem great when you dont have anything but once you actually build something you realize that you want to keep what your entitled to as you built it and you dont want big brother to take that away from you.
Yes, a separate channel, for civilised, knowledgable conversation! Debate and comment among yourselves the hosts.
The topics, presentation style and format will change as circumstances time and knowledge allows. Would be most interested. A TIK Lite!
When I went to Victoria BC, I went to get a massage and the massouse there was a former soldier and a military historian, the entire time he was giving me WW2 info and referencing your channel, I only booked one hour but because I like chatting about history and some of your videos my massage got extended to two and a half hours, thanks TIK for extending my massage that one time!
Since you might continue doing these, can you elaborate more on what you think of Jame Lindsay's "Negation of the real" lecture? What specific things from that lecture did you agree with and why? Any doubts about that lecture? Things you aren't sure of or flat out disagree with? etc. Keep up the good work!
That's a very good question! I'll let Axiom know 👍
Paid actor employed to prove you aren't a lizard. This is like something the Zuckerberg would do 😂😂😂
Loved it. I know I'd love a long conversation with you. So it's fun to watch someone else having the pleasure. Cheers.
Stuff I never knew I needed, please continue doing these. It helps me to clash with my own opinion and have clearer opinion on the topic.
That being said I disagree with completely free market or lack of state influence into the situation. Especially looking at big pharma or oil concerns. Country is supposed to think and act as a whole (otherwise there would be massive differences like with post divided germany, places with more income resources etc.) That being said things like police or schools are taken as granted, while they're socialist imo. I am advocate of state funded health care (even if it sucks, it better than not having it at all) etc. etc...
I think the main problem is to implement system with least "abusable" and managing responsibility of people in charge, which probably can't be solved.
This love to hear the debate going, just like you with your videos.
You won't save the world, but at least few people, which will make this place more sufferable.
My teacher once told me that we must read book to learn how to live, I think same thing applies to history.
Anyway, sorry for all possible mistakes, hope my message is readable enough.
Keep sailing internet adventurer, love from Poland.
Glad to see Tik and Axiommaybe just ramble for 40 minutes. It is nice.
I know everyone has a podcast nowadays but a TIK podcast is actually a perfect idea
Unexpected philosophical banter - " I think I am a tank therefore I am". Can you set up a chat with The Critical Drinker to discuss war films? I sense it would be very amusing. Keep up the good work: tanks, politics, philosophy... the lot.
I use the Cartesian Doubt debate a lot whenever someone tries to argue one point over an other and it always fun to just see someone's eyes glaze over and get lost. More people really need to read his Meditations cuz that really only the first part.
I agree we need entrepreneurs and we can't over tax them or they will go elsewhere but we need a minimum wage to prevent genuine hardship in a wealthy country. We can't have totally unregulated capitalism as we will have huge wealth disparities, a degraded environment and ultimately an unstable society. We need a safety net for the most vulnerable in our society and good systems to ensure there is not excessive benefit fraud.
This should be a serie
Your videos aren't about being right or wrong. The facts are what they are. And you thoroughly cover every argument for and against the given topics. You provide a very special service to your audience. Screw the haters. Love ya, bro.
I love TIKs humor, any time someone addresses "elephant in the room" picture of fat Göring creeps into my mind. 😀
Let's be real, Orwell is no fiction writer.
Hi TIK!
Happy New Year🎉
Happy New Year to you too! Along with this video, and Monday's video, and the end of Stalingrad, 2024 will be a new era in the channel's history
Previously, I had hoped Lewis would be interviewed by the resident historian at the LotusEaters, B.B. Dade.
Watching this interview, however, has changed my mind.
While I would still like to see Lewis interviewed by Beau, I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation at a follow-up to this chat.
Oh wow I just started watching this and I love the format already!
I'd like to hear more about your opinions and views TIK (by the way, Comic Sans is amazing. I'm a History teacher and I use it all the time with the kids
Great video, Axiom is a great addition. Thanks guys.
"I've got a degree..." Hopefully around 37 Celsius.
lol
Putting effort in and getting rewarded for adding to society is fine BUT only if it is universally applied and there's the rub. Companies take insane risks expecting huge rewards which don't get shared in any meaningful way, however when they destroy the company they expect government handouts, tax credits to spend less on the wage bill, a steady supply of educated labour, road infrastructure, and so on. However mechanisms have been created to allow these companies to avoid paying most of the tax that is needed to provide the business environment. Increasing automation means less workers are needed, without an income they have less money to spend so demand drops, less labour and on and on. As we were lectured neither communism nor free market systems work, never have and never will. When I work out the answer I'll let everybody know - I may be some time.
I like this chat though, very thoughtful and Axiommaybe is right to work with it, a very good friend to have.
Thank you very much you two for allowing us a view into your conversations. Please do share more of it if you two like.
Comic Sans is my favourite font! Great chat, and I really like the intellectual honesty being shown. Material reality is one thing that amazes me, especially given it is testable. Call me a doubting Tomas, I have always been, so it is great to see the validation and verification of claims. Measuring the mass of the soul was my goal, which is why I’ve done the university and postgraduate work to learn more as a physicist specialising in medicine and biology. I have a different perspective on the value of the university level education, perhaps being from the physical sciences, but I see your points on the assessment methodology used to rank students. Thank you for the chat, a separate channel that I can put notifications on would be good.
You should do livestreams maybe once a month or more frequently just chatting and answering questions from fans etc.
"How do you know you're right" is going to be a huge video for me. I've been struggling with that concept for over a decade now and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Happy New Year
A fun video. Although far too few few tanks. Although I did think Axiom would be a great name for a MBT. "Its an Axiom MBT Mk.3 with the 140mm and the Quantum Computing Thermals."
Refreshing new format. Dedicating most of my time to the Ukraine situation I wouldn't get to watch every upload, but I would like to listen to these uploads in the background while doing other things that leaves me free to listen. Cheers from Denmark.
This is actually pretty dope its good to have Q&A from time to time
TIK, your face expression says you fall in love with him ;)
for a good perspective on the "how do you know that you know things" I highly recommend King Crockoduck's videos, particularly "The naturalist nuke" series
I like the idea of you diversifying the show. I think it would make the show more fun and I also think it would help with any burnout. ..On a completely different subject I've been watching the developments in Argentina with Milei. Perhaps our Anarcho Libertarian land is actually coming to fruition.
Hey TIK I really liked this video format, I'd like to see another one before too long since you and your friend have dynamic that is entertaining. Honestly I hope you get invited to anyone's podcast for a chat I'd love that
Love the idea of axiom getting comments from old video. Maybe TIK and Axiom reads hater comments and real comments that lead to discussion short types. Similar to your Q and A
One for business, one for personal.
Sounds easy enough
As a pro-capitalism voter who doesnt want to start a company, I dont see it as "success is all mine, failures are all mine". I see it as "the more they succeed, they more I get paid".
One Channel will be less work and you already work to hard for us and thank you for your efforts!
Yeah tik has the mindset of a technically skilled person
If you are trying to find out why something isn't working what ever you think, feel, believe, is all good and well but it won't stop you from getting zapped if the power is still on
Problem is that tik has to explain to the office folks that it is a bad idea to chew the power cord and then apologise when they get hurt from chewing the power cord
Would like to see more of this sort of stuff
Brilliant video, and again I learned something new.
On the subject of Stalingrad. I was hoping that Lewis would actually complete what was obvious an insane task. I have a hard time believing someone will be able to surpass that task. And it is also important to reach your own goal in order to not fall apart. I believe the TIK channel could easily go down the drain if stalingrad wasn't completed.
On the subject of Hitlers socialism: This is a very good video and Lewis has done everything correct. The opposite side must show how the evidence Lewis has put forward is bad in order to make a claim it is wrong. They have not done so and are therefor in the wrong. I would encourage Lewis to make more such videos because it helps us(we normies) to sort out the evidence and straighten our understanding of the subject and the world around us. It is a video I revisit now and then because details keeps falling out of my brain. And the references, it is so important. Lewis points to many sources, and I can look them up and verify that the quote is correct. And often I read more of the source and can see that the quote it not taken out of context (which I cannot say for the opposite side). More people should do what Lewis is doing in my opinion.
Hey TIK, I love your research and how you are honest enough to against the majority view due to what you have uncovered. Wish you more success. I still think your video on the religion behind national socialism is one of the most important and best videos on YT.
Loving this kind of format. Hopefully, we can see more videos like this.
Funny I think I found you through Lindy as well at the beginning
Great video, it's interesting to see what you are thinking behind the scenes and having a more real-time dialogue with someone. Axiom is great, asking some interesting questions and presenting thoughtful opinions, reminds me of the type of conversations I would have my mates. Hope you do more of these!
Would love to see more of this, don’t care if it’s a separate channel or on this channel, a separate channel may give something to fall back on, if a take in a video on either channel might result in a ban from God RUclips.
Would also love to see a conversation with MentisWave on RUclips, not sure about what but I’d think you both Wouk hit it off
I think Comic Sans is the best choice for conveying sarcasm, if only because most people can't read Wing Dings.
This was a great learning experience! Learning is not bad! Read, learn , study. Look at your resources. Peer review makes you a better author. I am amazed at your research TIK.
Epic and (hopefully) easy+enjoyable for TIK to make :)
