Some mistakes for the record: I rendered the video wrong because it only goes up to 480p, that's a little unfortunate, I hope it's not too much of a bother. Some images awkwardly jump from one place to another at the start of the video, because I'm not very good at editing, but I fixed it around 1.5. There are a couple citations in which I m...

Dragons on Flags

Extra would gladly approve of a flag that breaks all flag conventions if it has a dragon on it (closed captions are automatically on, because I tend to speak too quickly) By the way, I did mention that there's no proof that Cadwaladr used a dragon at all, but I should have made that a lot more clear. edwinhuang9244 referred to a video by Cambrian Chronicles that goes a lot deeper into that, so ...

An exclave is a piece of territory that's completely separated from the main country, and is surrounded by other countries. Joi...

    American here, for clarification, the polandball shown at 3:40 is the Libertarian Party, which is the most radical freedom party (they're against drivers licenses half the time) and generally seen as part of the right on economic issues while left on social issues, but generally seen as part of the center-right when seen as a whole. In general, the term "liberal" refers to those in the Democratic (the left-wing) Party and is different from the libertarians ideologically Technically speaking, everyone is some sort of liberal in the US due to our cultural and political history discoraging government involvement to the extent of Europe's. Anyhow this was a great video, and I enjoyed it overall, this comment was just for some American clarification on the politcal pov.

    29:31 The pattern was not inspired by the Belarusian flag, and isn't a nod to the past, as Kazakhstan suffered immense losses under the rule of the Soviet Union. It's just... you couldn't be further from the truth with this statement and I had to point it out. The pattern generally is called Ою-өрнек "oyu örnek" and it is simply a national pattern that is incorporated everywhere: in various rugs, accessories, clothes and even outer walls of houses. So it's no surprise that it made it to the national flag

    "Territories, peoples, authorities... all will be liberated. This is the new state, 'A World With No Boundaries' will create. Neither nations nor nationalities have meaning. We will erase these unnecessary borders." "The battle to re-line the borders has moved to the meeting boardroom. Those lines will give birth to new conflict. Rising above countries and armies, our 'World With No Boundaries' will become one. For the ideal. For the people." “Can you see any borders from here? What has borders given us?”

    This gotta be the most effort any White person ever put into researching Africa for a RUclips video. Phenomenal stuff! It's even better, considering it's a "responce" to your own most watched video. I don't think there are many RUclipsrs out there capable of so much introspection. This video made me appreciate Africa much more as a continent with it's own victories and struggles. I have, however, two criticisms: First - I'm not really sure about the Mario Kart backgrounds, I think faded photos of African landscapes would be much more tasteful. Second - I'm a bit uncomfortable with you using euphemisms for the words "genocide" and "Boko Haram". It has that nasty energy that the word "unalive" has. But I guess avoiding demonetization is a lot like walking on a minefield, so that can be forgiven. Looking forward to your ESC 2024 retrospective! I'm a huge fan of the show since the last year, and this year it... uh... it sure was interesting, so I'm curious what you have to say.
