Rome's Influence On American Politics (Members Video)

Hey all,

Here's the first mini video, covering Rome's influence on the American constitution. I think it's an interesting little piece of political theory that I haven't been able to fit int...

Update

Hey everyone, I have a couple updates. 

My last post floated a few subject ideas and asked for feedback. Pretty much everyone responded that they wanted me to cover America and the cultu...

The Taiwan Conflict

Hey all, here's the video on Taiwan. I went through three different editors trying to get it done and ended up doing most of it myself as they struggled to edit in my style. So there were some comp...

SOCIALISM - An In-Depth Explanation

Hey all, here's the latest upload. The time between uploads here has been the longest since I became dedicated to this channel. It's been a painful wait for me. I was amazed to check my Patreon pag...

Why The Government Wastes So Much Money

Hey all, here's my latest vid. I think the public spends so much time focusing on race, sexuality, guns and abortion that we neglect subjects like these. But they're important. So I'm hoping to be ...

Was The Media Ever Unbiased?

Here's the video on media bias. I wanted a fresh angle on the subject, something other than purely pointing out modern bias. This is what I came up with. Hope you guys like it.

Next Vid & A Note Of Thanks

Hey all,

To give an update: I spent a solid 10 hours brainstorming topics after I uploaded the duck-rabbit video and decided to shift away from my previous road map. 

My next video...

The Drawing That Explains Political Divides

The duck-rabbit video is done. I've been wanting to cover polarization for a while, but I looked around and saw that people weren't really watching videos that covered it in a straightforward way (...

Categorizing The Nazis

I made a quick follow-up video to my last one while I do other research on the side. Since I had already done the research for this one it freed me up to focus on the production more this time too....

What Is Fascism?

I finally finished the fascism video. I dramatically underestimated how much work I'd end up putting into the research and production of it. This kind of undertaking won't be sustainable going forw...

Fascism's Almost Done

Hey all, thought I'd give another update. I'm about halfway done shooting and editing the fascism video, hoping to be done in about 3 days. It's going to be ~30 minutes long. 

This one's...

Update

Hey all, so I've been slightly distracted by the Russia/Ukraine situation. If Russia invades I'll stop what I'm doing and record a video about it.

For fascism, I read a couple more books than...

Fascism's Next

I'm going to cover fascism next. I've already done a good deal of research for it and have a good sense of what I want to say so hopefully it won't take too long to produce. I'm hoping something li...

What Makes For A Good Argument?

I finally knocked out this argumentation video. Pretty happy with it. 

Let me know what you guys think

Rule of law coming tomorrow/the day after

Hey all, hope you had a good holiday. I started recording the rule of law video yesterday and should finish it tomorrow or the day after at the latest.

I decided to knock rule of law out befo...

Potential Change Of Plans

Hey all, to keep the updates going: I have a video pretty much ready to record on rule of law and how it compares in the US and China. 

But something's been bugging me. I keep running ac...

Recording tomorrow

Hey all. To give an update, I'm starting recording on another video on China tomorrow. It's going to be a few China videos in a row, I think in pretty quick succession. Most of the research has alr...

Discord Server

Hey all, Carston here made a Discord server if anyone's interested in checking it out and talking on there. I'm going to post the link on my Twitter and Youtube over the next few days but thought I...

A Sketch Of What's Ahead

Hey all, I'm going to be shifting direction for the next batch of videos. I'll be moving away from focusing on Marxism and the radical left, and moving more broadly towards populism and partisanshi...

Back To The Basics

Working on an overview of Marxism next. Been at it for a while. Hope it doesn't take too long to finish but we'll see. 

The Politics Of George Orwell

Just finished the latest vid. Tried something a bit different this time in terms of format. I'm going to see how people react to it, and might do more like it in the future on different thinkers. E...

Orwell's Next

Hey all, I wanted to pivot to material I enjoy more so I'm going to lay out the politics of George Orwell for the next one. Should also be a quicker process this time around. 

Up Next

Making a guide to critical race theory next. This one should be coming out a little quicker

New video soon

Thanks for your patience! I've been busy researching and will be recording the next video soon.

Thanks for your patience! New video coming soon

The Gulag Archipelago - Book Review

Hey all, I made a satirical video review of Gulag Archipelago a while ago for my Youtube channel that I ended up deleting once I decided to commit to a more somber, straightforward approach to the ...
