The crossover we all needed but didn't deserve

[@M4ttNet]

Such massive props to you Mr. Beat for calling out the idea of "cancel culture" and people being so sensitive etc. I completely agree with you, that overall it's the opposite IMHO. The America I grew up in as a big city conservative (which was even more the case with a small town version) was far more sensitive and focused on cancelling people. All you had to do to be "cancelled" was use a curse word or not conform completely to your areas flavor of conservative Christianity lol. I mean the crusaded against games and music based off of the littlest bits of violent or sexual content. We've always had cancel culture, it was actually far worse in the past. I mean the scarlet letter was published in 1850 about cancel culture! It's not new lol. I find it so hilarious when people selectively forget all that. I'm confident the motivation for the alleged claim of sudden cancel culture is mostly the people voicing it are now facing "their" specific choices being now targeted to be cancelled. It wasn't a problem when everyone ELSE was cancelled for being different than you, but now that your views are cancelled it's suddenly a massive epidemic! To me this is analogous to the perspective of the different drug crisis eras. When it was poor black people suffering drug issues we needed a "war on drugs" and a demonization of people tied to that. When it was broader white people it became an "opioid crisis" instead and all about helping those poor people. Broad conservative mostly white American views are now being cancelled and suddenly cancel culture is bad... when anything not white conservative Christian was cancelled (say like calling D&D, magic the gathering etc demonic evil games lol) it was fine and not cancel culture. Love both your channels btw.

[@cynicallydepressed1]

I'm going to call your statement 'genius', but mostly because I'm biased and have been saying the same thing for a few years now (since the current wave of it started). Thanks for smartly elucidating the points!

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

some more news has a good video breaking down how cancle culture for people with power really doesn't exist at all and how the narrative is useful to them. all of the most visible people complaining about being canceled are being paid to do so on large platforms.

[@SWLinPHX]

What you say is true to a point but not quite the same thing as what people mean about sensitivity today. Today we are far more politically correct and intolerant of anyone who isn't. If you weren't alive and conscious of things in the 1980's and 70's and even earlier you may not see that. It has gotten way out of hand especially the last 10-20 years.

[@M4ttNet]

@@SWLinPHX Honestly I respectfully disagree. At least what I've been told by previous generations in conservative upbringings like mine it's been cancel culture to the extreme since well forever. Go back 50 years ago and you could be cancelled for far more things than now, 50 years before that even more, 50 years before that far more than that. There are bubbles of exceptions of course but the further you go back the more "Scarlet letter" society gets over countless things. The people who were canceled didn't have a platform, now they do with social media and the tables have turned. People are getting "canceled" for a variety of things now not just conservative ideas.

[@SWLinPHX]

@@M4ttNet There's a reason "cancel culture" wasn't even a phrase until the last few years. And as I had guessed, you weren't around back then which explains your statement. But of course you can ask anyone who was (not just me). There is no disagreement things are far more politically correct today, for both better and worse.

[@paulcroshier6708]

You two understand that there is a difference between catering to your audience and pandering to them. Keep it up.

[@dr_drago]

I very much agree with Atun-Shei's initial brief talk on judging people of the past. You can and should do so, but when you do it, you need to look at them within the context of their times. They weren't one-dimensional Saturday morning cartoon villains who "chose evil" just for the sake of being evulz. This isn't a justification of what they did, it's saying "I do not approve. I understand".

[@cynicallydepressed1]

I overall agree, but I also think there is an over-willingness to give a pass on things that were, indeed, thought poorly of, AT THE TIME. Many, many people thought slavery was horrific in the time of our founding. Many of those who HELD SLAVES thought it was a terrible idea. They just...kept them, because doing the right thing (even as they understood it AT THE TIME) was financially unappealing.

[@dr_drago]

@@cynicallydepressed1 I get that. Aside from the actual slaves themselves, there were obviously abolitionists at the time who abhorred slavery (some even once or always being slave owners ourselves, like some of the Founding Fathers). The point I'm making is simply to understand where the people were coming from, if nothing else. It doesn't mean what they did was any less wrong, or even necessarily mean "cut them some slack" (although it could, depending on the person/case). For a more recent example: plenty of children during the 2000s (myself included) casually used homophobic slurs as insults. Was it just as wrong then as it is now? 100%, absolutely, positively, yes. But did we do it because we woke up every morning thinking about how to be awful, as if we were one-dimensionally evil people? Well, no, we were just stupid kids who grew up in a culture where homophobia was basically the law of the land (and luckily we wisened up and grew out of that homophobia; some of us anyway).

[@cynicallydepressed1]

@@dr_drago, your example precisely proves my point...(and I sincerely don't want typed words to seem harsher than if we were sitting at a table, cordially sipping drinks). You didn't think of it, so didn't consciously yet 'know better'. Once you DID, you corrected your behavior. The founders and those after them largely DID KNOW they were wrong. They DID wake up every morning and decide, each day, to continue being monsters that held other humans in bondage. Many of them contrived lame excuses to make themselves and others feel slightly less worse about doing so. They used the bible they used economics, they used anything they could to give cover to their continued sin, because they thoughtfully KNEW it was wrong and wanted to continue. I used gay slurs too, when I was 10-12 years old in the early to mid 80s. Then I got into high school and realized some of my classmates actually WERE gay. Using their existence, their humanity, against them or others as an insult was then reprehensible to me, so I stopped, and I tried to even discourage others to think about it and stop as well (with very mixed results). So I get it, and I imagine the same thing happened to you in your journey. But we 'grew' as humans and changed our paths. These folks were already adults, already knew it was wrong, inwardly and with others telling them, and just overtly decided to keep doing it. I give them no quarter for that. That's just me, perhaps, but it is DEFINITELY me, for certain.

[@dr_drago]

“and I sincerely don't want typed words to seem harsher than if we were sitting at a table, cordially sipping drinks” Before we go any further let me stop you right there. Are you saying you perceive a reason (whatever it is, b/c it’s beyond me) to address me in a less-than-civilized manner? I’d love to just have a nice, casual conversation too; I didn’t see any reason for us to be at each other’s throats. But if you’re holding back the urge to escalate it with harsh language, then go right on ahead and drop all pretenses of civility. I have a ton of better things to do than engage in a KZbin flame war.

[@cynicallydepressed1]

@@dr_drago, no, just the opposite...I (unfortunately?) write a LOT for work, and I cannot tell you the number of emails that come across where people in a group grossly misunderstand each other or take things WAY out of context. So I wanted to make sure I wasn't coming across AS 'harsh', when I'm truly looking for the exact amiable conversation. (Usually, though, about three responses in, there is a good chance somebody misinterprets what I mean, even though I try to write very clearly to avoid just that happening.) So I was saying that I DON'T want you to believe that my responses were meant in anything OTHER THAN a civil tone (which, again, can sometimes be 'lost' when typed out and then read, without the tonal inflections one can give in person, across a table). For some weird reason, a LOT of people on the interwebs think if a 'conversation' goes more than a couple of responses back and forth, there must be some increasing hostility. It is also beyond me...but I (clearly) cannot control what others think. No hostility on my part...I am enjoying our conversation very much. (I just wanted to make sure you weren't getting any sense of hostility from me, because...again...it seems to happen purely by responding, which...why have comments if nobody is going to respond, right? Head-shaker...)

[@davidsheedy5887]

Would you consider interviewing Knowing Better in a similar fashion? I might only be speaking for myself, but I think that would be an interesting conversation.

[@sagetds1995]

26:15 I think that the Compromise of 1877 should have been the other way around. Instead of electing Rutherford B. Hayes president and withdrawing federal troops from the South, it would have in the long run been a much better idea to elect Tilden president and keep the troops in. The Compromise of 1877, in our timeline, is one of the most negatively consequential actions by the United States federal government in its history.

[@richeybaumann1755]

21:30 That is the biggest thing for pretty much all of us, even (and especially) those of us who believe in an eternal afterlife- the concept of "forever" is simply beyond human understanding, and I quite literally get frozen when I think too hard on the concept of "eternity". Even knowing what that eternity is supposed to be, its impossible to reconcile human understanding of eternity as a legit thing. The more... blindly faithful.... will say that it isn't something we should think about or question because it's perfect and happy and all that, but I think that it's good for humans to question things. That's what got our species this far.

Hey! I'm a fan of the channel (both actually). So I'm just wondering: where does the idea that youtube leans right come from? I'm not necessarily arguing as I only have my own experience but it seems to me to be quite left-leaning (as in centre-left, not far left). Aren't the majority of KZbin's most mainstream creators somewhat left of centre?

[@cynicallydepressed1]

Not most of their historical channels, I can assure you. Beat is center-right, Vlogging Through History is further right-center-right, and whatifalthis is pretty far right compared to them. Some you just don't know because of how they present, it seems very straight down the center, or they don't really inject ANY personal comments that might give it away (say. TimeGhostHistory). Obviously I haven't watched EVERY channel on this stuff (yet), but those are my impressions. For clarity, I'm center-independent that used to vote 90% GOP.

1:13:00 We like to think we are all only motivated by the facts and sound logic alone, but when we emotionally invest in something, it may take longer than that. Although Philosophy Tube and Atun Shei films are pretty different channels, I think the power to change minds is also influenced by appealing to emotions, which both channels do very well through theatrical means, even if it's quite different theatrical means. It's propaganda, I suppose, I mean that in the most complimentary way possible (it is very good propaganda)-- because even though I am aware of the intentions, it works anyways.

This was fun to watch and metta

[@dwtucker90]

Respect Mr. Beat for saying he’d probably have been neutral in the American Revolution. I teach 8th grade US History, and was surprised that when I surveyed my students, about half of them said they would have been neutral.

[@hettinga359]

Because modern Americans are radical individualists. The idea of sacrifice for a greater cause is a foreign concept. Sounds like mental derangement

[@jrheeney3685]

Mr. Beat have you seen contra points before? Autun Shei brought it up and I was curious if you’ve seen her content

[@charliemarcou]

Thanks to that theologic question now every time I think about heaven I'm just going to think about one day we're all going to be Q from Star Trek bored f***ing with John Luke.

[@sydnisadlier]

You should do this with John D. Ruddy next 🤞🤞

After watching Chris from Vlogging Through History, I am convinced that the South seceded because of slavery but the actual fighting in the Civil War was for all sorts of various reasons both personal and other reasons

[@keard558]

Atun looks like William Osman in that thumbnail

[@vladimirmihnev9702]

Compering people to dogs what a monster! The Poor Dogs!

[@weepingscorpion8739]

Mr. Atun Shei, if you like Viking Metal, then allow me to introduce you to my countrymen: Týr. You'll love them. :)

[@Robin-jk6wz]

Why is Atun dressed like The Burger King: July the 4th edition in the thumbnail?

[@chrisward6582]

Love this lol

[@thewampire4640]

1:35:00 Oh i wish atun, i wish they were

[@CopperHTID]

Watching this & I said the exact same thing...

[@yorkieandthechihuahua]

You think Arkansas feels like the past? Having lived in the UK and New York state and moved to New Mexico I feel like I've moved back to the 70s too... the AD 70s... OK, slight exaggeration maybe.

[@iammrbeat]

Yeah, certain parts of Arkansas, just like certain parts of New Mexico. NW Arkansas is remarkably advanced.

[@yorkieandthechihuahua]

Oh I don't doubt that certain parts of Arkansas are advanced, I just question how much of New Mexico is. I mean, according to studies I've seen we're: 50th worst for education 3rd highest in terms of poverty 47th worst for crime 45th worst for infrastructure 49th worst for opportunity 44th worst for overall economy I mean, our best stat seems to be medical system where we're 33rd worst. Like I said, moving here did feel like moving back to the 70s, as you described moving to Arkansas... but not the 1970s, the AD 70s.
