I managed to FINALLY fix my broken upload speed. I have no idea how I fixed it, or why it was broken in the first place. I am just happy the issue is fixed to be honest.
Either way, I can now upload a preview of the video for you. If you dont want to have the full video spoiled, then you sh...
2020-03-15 18:25:14 +0000 UTC View PostJust letting you know, I finished the first two books for the China video. And just from the info I gathered out of them in basic notes. I think this video might be up to 12 hours long in the end.
...I think that is a problem.
Got any suggestions?
2020-03-06 17:51:51 +0000 UTC View PostI just spent 8 hours uploading the first part of the Turkey video and it only uploaded 15%
....I think something might be wrong with my internet again (some of you who have been around for a while will know that it is a fickle little thing).
So. Faced with that inconvenienc...
2020-02-28 00:19:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! I am about halfway finished with the Turkey video and made a decision. I am going to post the first part as an unlisted video on my second channel and will post it here for you. No worries, I won't monetize it, since I think I should only get paid for the full thing once it is actually...

I received this book in my mail today, with a thank you note from a Patreon. I am very greatfull for this gift. I really am.

2020-02-17 19:23:30 +0000 UTC View PostI have an idea and would like to hear your opinion and poll you on it.
When I make a video that is over 2 hours long, what would you think of me splitting it up into parts, uploading the parts to my second channel and uploading the long unedited version to the main channel?
2020-02-15 22:46:17 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to take a moment to express a little anxiety. I feel unsure if I can finish the Turkey project this month, I am working as hard as I can, but I have this lingering fear that won't leave. I have never before made videos this long that includes a lot of artwork that I have to draw myself. ...
2020-02-08 19:45:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. As you know I am working on the Turkey video. The research on it is completed, I am making the video, and am about half way finished. Also, I started the research for the China and Congo videos.
But there is a little something that came up. A friend of mine found themselves in a l...
2020-02-05 10:32:40 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the votes for the next short were counted, I started buying books and researching the Congo video. I have now been doing this for a while (basically i dedicated a few hours of each day to reading books, and so now i read the Congo books) and encountered a problem. This is a HUGE topic. Massi...

As some of you may or may not know, I have been saving up money for the last 3-4 months to buy myself a drawing pad (I put aside 20 Euros a week). The reason is that drawing the countryballs with a mouse is very time consuming, and friends & subscribers of mine guaranteed me that...
2020-01-23 08:53:20 +0000 UTC View PostI am working as hard as I can, but I can already tell that the video on Turkey and Neo Ottomansims will not be finished this month. Expect it within the first week of the next month. Additionally, there is an issue with the Congo video that I will be discussing with the big patreons soon. Which i...
2020-01-21 09:32:36 +0000 UTC View PostWith the votes done, I have to inform you that I intend to sign off for a while. Maybe a week or two, in which you won't be hearing much from me outside of my twitter account, and maybe a few appearances on discord.
The reason is that I want to set a new standard for quality with the next 3...
2020-01-15 20:23:52 +0000 UTC View PostAs you all know there are several patreon tiers. I also made a 50$ tier. But... in all honesty.... I never expected someone to actually give me that much money for my videos. but there you are... proving me wrong. lol
So. Since the tiers require different degrees of rewards, I had this idea...
2020-01-11 19:36:14 +0000 UTC View PostAs you all already know, the next short video (20-30 minutes) will be about the distortion of international politics and culture through the American lense.
However, since I like to announce the next video at the end of each video, i had you vote in advance for the next short vid...
2020-01-11 19:26:44 +0000 UTC View PostSo.... it happened. There was a tie in the vote for the next long video (1-2 hours long) that I would make after the Turkey video. The tie was between the Ireland documentary and a long form China documentary.
The other topic that got a lot of votes was a documentary about Switz...
2020-01-04 04:10:06 +0000 UTC View PostI have finally gotten to open a twitch account at the request of a friend of mine. I believe this is where we could do a monthy patreon podcast, once I figured out how to use the platform, lol.
Here is a link to the account I made: 2020-01-03 00:50:14 +0000 UTC View Post
As you may or may not be aware, the high tier patreons who donate 20$ or more per video, are currently voting on which long topic video should come after the Turkey video. Meaning, which 1-2 hour long video should be next. And currently there is a tie in the vote. There are still 2-3 days to vote...
2020-01-02 16:04:21 +0000 UTC View PostAt the end of this month, and this time also a year, I would like to thank you all again for your continous support of my channel. It has been a scarce month, with only one single video. But I am confident that as I get better at gathering, sorting and compiling books and documents, and as my abi...
2020-01-02 01:15:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe next videos on this channel will be about Turkey and distortion in geopolitical and cultural perspectives through the American lense.

As always after each and every video, here is an update of what is to come.
I will continue to work on the Turkey project, which is shaping up to be a very long one. Maybe I can shorten it a little. I am not entirely sure if I will finish it for January...

I am sooo sorry for keeping you waiting so long. I completely lost the scope of the topic and delved into too much research and am still not satisfied with the final video, to be honest. It is a one hour summary of the history of the India-Pakistan conflict and geopolitics. And I ho...

As previously announced, the vote for the next video will take place before the video I am working on is finished. The purpose of this is that I would like to announce the next video at the end of each video.
Currently, in the making are:

Hey guys, not posted in a while. To assure you that i am still working to deliver, here is a preview for the upcoming video. It's basically the intro.
2019-12-03 23:04:56 +0000 UTC View PostSince the list of video ideas is growing and growing and growing, I believe we need to make some changes. The voting system no longer works with the enormous amount of options to vote for. So I propose that from now on the patreon tiers 10$-more will get to pick 10 videos out of the entire list, ...
2019-11-29 15:28:51 +0000 UTC View PostI think I will do the Q&A video in addition to whatever topic you will vote for, so please feel free to shoot any questions here that you want me to respond to in such a video.
2019-11-28 16:29:01 +0000 UTC View PostI will continue work on the video about Neo-Ottomanism and Turkeys role in the 20th century geopolitical landscape. But, since that video will be at least an hour long, and as the month of december is upon us, I would ask you to vote on a topic for a shorter video that i can work on, parallel. 2019-11-28 09:19:03 +0000 UTC View Post
