[@Evancortes35]

@@thunderbird1921 All of these stories are based on a common feature of the fact that the Russians are slaves to livestock. And slave cattle breeds dictators. The nation is divided into peoples, from Mordovians to Buryats. They were all conquered by Moscow, and Stalin called all this cattle as - the Russians. For example, my ancestors are from Poland, and I was born in Arkhangelsk, this is the Pomor region, and the Pomors were massacred and captured from Moscow, then it was called Muscovy. And obeyed the horde. The Soviets rewrote a huge chunk of history. In order to whiten your face. But you can see the true face in Russians as a whole.

They will not keep you warm in the water, they will weigh you down, and you will need them after you get out. In this situation keep them dry by using the human fat method on other clothes covering your clothes, once across discard the fat riddled clothes and keep your now semi dry ones. Get the water on your skin off immediately by exercising and rolling in snow. Then put on your original clothes to start conserving heat.

This is amazing. A POV helps to the experience like you're in the island itself. But despite the survival tips. It's very very very unlikely for you to survive. If math was involved anyway, it's 1 in 1,000,000 chance you would survive anyway

[@Atamosk-bu7zt]

[@AngelDust6969]

There is a solution I thought of: Convince some of the people to begin an escape attempt prior to landing on the island, explaining that, once you land and the guards leave the area, you build a means of escape and take some resources with you. Then, leave the island and find the closest civilization. As an extra note: Attempt to lead an attack on the guards using guerrilla tactics and makeshift weapons. Then steal their weapons and uniforms.

[@BIG-BBC]

I do like how you're asking people to find a way to escape since there is still plenty of resources once you first get on the Island but the extreme water currents around the island will probably flip the rafts over and even if you were to escape you also also have to deal with other prey trying to kill you and the only animals you can hunt are pretty fast and you will also have to walk miles and miles since there are no real civilizations nearby but I also like the part about the guerrilla warfare to kill the guards and take their weapons and clothes so that you have a better chance to survive

I love how the place where "The Real Squid Game" Took place doesn't even exist.

[@Maltatata]

Guess its just that easy to clickbait

[@capncake8837]

No, it does exist. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazino_tragedy#Nazino_Island

@@capncake8837 A Wikipedia article. I heard from one guy who heard from someone living in the area, they had never heard of the Nazino Tragedy. Even the older folks. It's basically a creepypasta.

[@hehehdhd903]

@@joseph_bunnyman318 You claim that a Wikipedia article isn't reliable, but then you use "I heard from one guy who heard from someone" as an argument. There area actually alot of pages talking about this fact so I don't think it's just a creepypasta.

So much of Stalins madness and brutality is not known in the west.

It is

Сними видео про Отоя Ямагути , который спас Японию от коммунизма в 1960 году ,парень ворвался с мечем в конференсзал и убил лидера коммунистической партии , из за чего в последствии партия раскололась и утратила влияние на страну , в противном случае ,при поддержке Китая Япония могла бы стать чем-то вроде северной Кореи сегодня

How fucked up is it that you thought it'd be appropriate to call this tragedy "Real Life Squid Game"? What's next? Real Life Saw - The Holocaust?

[@babyramses5066]

Exactly. I'm grateful to learn of something like this but it's actually too sad and pointlessly horrible for people to be so chill to make jokes about it.

[@morganlemke]

Milking this trend so much that they posted this video twice, not to mention making like 10 shorts out of it.

[@331coolguy]

Well one was about the general history where is this one is about how to survive in it.

So what? If you don't enjoy these types of videos, don't watch them.

[@DarkPniEntanglrDarkPniEntanglr]

So how was there mosquitos if it was winter like portrayed in the video? A tad bit confusing. I'm from Michigan, and our mosquitos all die out around the beginning of winter, so I don't see how a place as cold as Russia, ( presumably colder than Michigan ), has mosquitos in the winter. Tho I suppose just cause its snowing doesn't mean winter in Russia, even tho in the video they show a lot of snow, and a guys fingers dying from the cold via frostbite, making it seem pretty cold... like freezing cold. Kinda confusing.

This is by far,the best argument against communism to exist as of yet.

[@thunderbird1921]

Communism is nothing but a cruel lie. It promises workers the world and the poor prosperity, yet instead it becomes a dictatorship and ogliarchy every time (and those in power let their biases decide who gets the redistributed resources). This is not including the vast human rights violations.

[@thesurvivalist1996]

@@thunderbird1921 communism is just a scam on a national scale.

[@JohnSmith-fd5un]

Jesus, you guys still don't get it. It is an arguement against authoritarian rule, communism was never about that but it is false utopia that can't be achieved like how equality can't exist between Capitalism.

@@JohnSmith-fd5un if you follow an ideology that you have to defend, then it isn't a good ideology. Goes for nazism, communism, authoritarianism, etc. That's why I chose to be libertarian.

Thank you Simple History. I thought this was the same video uploaded a few weeks ago but then I realised that it was a different one lool. Keep up the good work.

[@jakepotter5962]

I like that you guys could recycle some of your other video in this one. I get how hard en expensive animation is, so being able to get more videos out of less footage is of great value! And we get more videos!
