Glad you enjoyed it. He's got another good video today. He's compared the protection rackets of the past, to the global billionaires of today, wanting control over every aspect of our lives, and we're paying for them to do that. He asks: When are we going to stop funding them? and what would happen if we all collectively stopped paying our taxes, fees, and the other things that keep them going?
He does a show about once a week, featuring what he calls "a love letter to the people of the British Isles." In those he talks about various historical people, and places in the U.K. The guy has a gift of speech, and he knows his history. He started out as an archaeologist, then began hosting various historical programs that aired in the U.K. He's a firm believer that everything that is happening in today's world, has already happened before in some shape or form, and he's spot on in that thought.
I'm a sofa historian nowadays, who reads a great deal of history books on several historical periods. I spent many years in my earlier life doing actual historical research on the Civil War, traveling to the Nat'l Archives, also visiting various historical societies, libraries, etc., going through their manuscript collections, tracking down descendants. I focused on some of the regiments, and the people who were in them. I had a full-time job, and used my vacations to do my research. It was one of the most fulfilling periods of my life. If you study history, it's not hard to make comparisons between incidents from the past, and apply them to what is going on in the world today. Sadly, a lot of people can't see it, or won't bother to learn about it. History does repeat itself...quite regularly in fact.
Fascinating backstories — his and yours! Thanks again!
