🕑 Added 2022-07-12 12:30:52 +0000 UTCAs some of you noticed, I have made a lot of videos titled "The Origins of ..." or "How X invented ..." That is intentional. I want to make an entire catalogue of videos that explain how certain political insitutions and structures were developed and came to be. So far I have made "The Origins of Russian Authoritarianism" "China vs India the State and the Society" "How Denmark invented Social Democracy" and "The Origins of the Greek Debt Crisis". However there is a whole list of these videos that are on the topic list, belong to this category, and have to still be made. Those are:
The Origins and Decline of German Militarism: A video on how the German state was shaped and built by Prussian militarism. How it led Europe into disaster. But also a video on how German civic society was constructed as an opposing force through the free cities of the Rhine valley.
The Origins of Italian corruption: This video will have one singular and simple point: The Mafia ruined Italy. Yes, I will go through and explain the origins of various different broken state structures, in particular in the South of Italy. But the main point I will make is that those broken structures are continued by a system of corruption that was created, and is being kept alive, by the Italian Mafia. And that the Italian Mafia is a tumor on Italian society that must be removed.
The Origins of Dutch Freedom: This video investigates the origins of Dutch liberty and democracy. Something often overlooked in our day and age, and unjustly so. Dutch political development is basically what created modern capitalism, the Dutch also basically invented the modern concept of pluralism, as well as important aspect of our modern lives, chief among which has to be Freedom of Speech - which is essentially also a Dutch invention.
The Origins of French Centralisation: A video showcasing how the medieval French kingdom spearheaded and advanced the collapse of medieval feudalism, and the consequent creation of 14th century to 17th century absolutism. How French absolutism helped create the foundations of the first nation states, and how this political development still impacts France as a modern highly centralised state.
The Origins and Decline of Japanese Militarism: A video discussing the remarkable events around the creation of the Japanese nation-state during the Boshin restoration. Looking into the militaristic forces that subsumed that state, created Japanese Imperialism, and drove the Japanese state off a cliff. And how that legacy still impacts the Japanese state to this day.
The Origins of Ukrainian Multiculturalism: A video examining how migrations and conquests, accompanied by the varying ideas and faiths that came with them shaped a uniquely multilingual and multiethnic understanding of the concept of nationalitiy in Ukraine.
The Origins of Polish Anti-Imperialism: Is a video Examining the rise and fall of Polish toleration from the 13th to 17th century, and how the Polish nation state that emerged from the first world war re-examined that toleration and the lessons it drew for the creation of a nation state from the ashes of Imperialism.
I wanted to ask you if I could make a poll in which we vote if I can finish this catalouge of videos before we start making the series of videos that discuss how imperialism shaped political structures around the world?
Comments
just kidding.
I would like to see more vids of you working those Japanese knives.
