Gamers,
I have elected to do a "Q&A" thing for my video outros. Fr fr, no foolin. Just post them as comments here, please. The video is about a phrenologist cowboy fighting the Apache, so maybe some wild west stuff, but as it pertains to Indian wars.
I don't know nothin' bout them white boys. Only the ones with big mustaches that did war crimes.
Yeehaw,
DJ PC

Ever feel like doing anything on Public Education? Would love to share with you what I know about the trend of using fake or non-existent research to justify major changes to American Education that are a lot more about people who try to take credit for pretending to do something they don't know how to do than anything about educating kiddos. Here's some stuff to wet your whistle: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/207/special-ed (Pretty self-explanatory) https://hanushek.stanford.edu/publications/teachers-schools-and-academic-achievement (This study was the backing for the Teacher Effectiveness Measure, which was the backing for most teacher evaluation metrics, school turnaround efforts and the push for charters/vouchers. Look at his numbers and see if you agree that teacher quality is the most important component of education. Also, take a look at what has happened to teacher quality since) My personal favorite: Google "Differentiated Instruction", "Learning Styles", and "Multiple Intelligence". Then google all three again, but include the word "research". I promise, all of this shit is wild and its all now the basis for our education system. Loved the latest video btw, that shit was gripping. Great job building to something and absolutely not disappointing. I need to fucking read Vonnegut. Missed him as a teenager and just haven't made the time to pick him up as an adult. Post the version with the bad parts in it!

If you had the chance to make a video game as its creative lead/project manager, what would it be?
Was the American colonial tactic of provoking the natives into attacking them, in order to justify killing them and stealing their land, the 1800s version of trolling? Perhaps rage baiting?
Any chance you'll do a video/series on the Spanish Reconquista? You touched on its cultural relevance a few times throughout your series on the Spanish conquest of meso America. Seems like a next logical step. Mucho luvo youo

Is it okay to hate on people who tell me that a piece of fictional entertainment (TV, Movie, Game) has changed their historical perspective? On one hand, Im always happy that people are thinking about something in the past, using some critical thinking skills, but it always bums me out me out. Because eventually sooner or later you see people confusing it with reality and just....Ugh.
When will your next insane subscriber special drop?
One more serious one I have been wondering: You have always seemed like an untouchable emotionally distant obelisk. Do you actually feel nice when people leave nice comments and like your work? Or is it all secondary to the process of making your art itself?
Have you read 1491, and if so do you think the natives could have fended of European expansion like they did with Viking incursions of the medieval period?

Will you keep going north? Or will you switch continents again? I'd like to hear what you have to say on if and how treatment of natives differed in Canada. I'd also like you take on the whole Penn situation, I heard he traded for the land, and had some utopian ideology and strategy for the state and Philly?
How was your time in the Air Force?
Is it a good idea to base any mythology off the Aztecs even though most of what was written down was under the Spanish eye?

Are you an Apache you fat fuck?
Well did you play clair obscur: expedition 33? Great game
Any thoughts on the french teaming up with indians during wartime? How the different indian nations each reacted politically to a specific conflict? Make a mormon Lamanite joke here. How far we tribes from one another and how far did a cultural tradition extend? The NW indians were having potlucks but why did that seem to stop at the rockies? What defined us vs them in these tribes? Is it similar to how we do it today on the same land? How are you so handsom?

Home many distinct persons have you been over the years? I'm currently on my ninth iteration.
Which Native American tribe would you vibe with the best?
Do you think society idolizes depression and substance abuse
this is something that irks me a lot, every person that ever lived can for sure find period of it's life that was terrible and have excuse for depression or substance abuse. I had made excuses for both and sometimes still do but i came to realisation that im "gay"(lame joke i know) for it. Heroin addicts after fucking up their life, friends, family now get standing ovation when they go clean, bitch you enjoyed greatest feeling that one can ever feel and now we need to cheer for you?
What wage-slave jobs have you had?
When will you do a Geronimo video? You coward. I am in desperate need for more native lore.

Do you plan on making any history videos about Vikings/lief Erickson, and how many YouTube comments recommendations (games books etc.) do you take seriously
If you ever want a decent Viking show Vinland saga was a good perspective change for me
Which western movie is the most accurate to the time period, and why is it "Blazing Saddles"?
What do you think about all pyramids being in alignment and just the general tin foil hat stuff regarding ancient civilizations? There's a bunch of huge rabbit holes (true or not) that I'm sure you could get some funny or thoughtful content from.
Why were they called cowboys and not cowmen?
Who's your favorite 19th century war criminal and why is it Custer?
Please list your top five favorite warcrimes in order
Were you ever taught about the Indian Wars in school? It was skated over in my New England schooling, though my white af parents made damn sure I was educated. Went to Wounded Knee and regularly visited the place King Philip/Metacom was killed.
Less earnest question, tier list of Indian/Colonial Conflicts, include actual India
Who hasn't committed a war crime when entering a saloon?
What do
Did the absence of unifying/directing force of the Catholic church in a still multi-polar North America lead to the the American ultra-capitalist ethos? Is the pope actually the last, best chance for the Occident? Why is the answer to the last two questions yes?
Which outlaw do you think had the highest slur/day ratio?
Was the time you spent getting paychecks from DFAS good or bad for you?
Can we point to a specific time when phrenology transitioned from science fact to historical fiction?
Manifest Destiny?
I think a "Remember the Alamo" Quentin Tarantino Style would be a cool movie or a rom com with Peter Dinklage as a washed up/ Drunk Cupid "You don't need me anymore you have apps and Algorithms" Type vibe
Hey Mr Cobbler! I'm curious if you ever read the book stalker is based on called roadside picnic? If not it's very very good
To what degree was the how difficult is it to find sources for an era so steeped in pop culture and so separate in its historic identity from its historic fact
Were there femboy cowboys... asking for a friend
Can confirm. Femboy Cowboys make great friends.
Funny pie man, how do you deal with a sense of hopelessness and feeling lost? As a recently turned 21 year old, I have no passion for anything, no social life, and just work and sleep. I wish I had a dream, or something to chase, but I don't. Edit: Less gloom and doom, how do you feel about the eventual release of Elder Scrolls Six? Over or under on it being good and living up to the hype?
Chase your bag or women and other vanity, that’s what my GLORIOUS idol Andrew Tate says. Seriously though if you think you’re losing a grip on things and looking for direction try a 2 year in the military (most non combat jobs have lucrative careers options after you get out)
Did cowboys or anything resembling what we think of cowboys appear anywhere else in the world or is it really just relegated to early United States history?
You might enjoy learning a bit about Gaucho culture in South America (Argentina, the Guays, parts of Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil). Italian unification has a connection to this cowboy culture.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
Do you really have to say it with a hard R?

how realistic is brokeback mountain
I'm currently writing a book on the last three indan v American battles do you intend to do videos that focus on that area of time?
What did the phrenologist cowboy think of the Jews?
Were they really war crimes if it wasn’t outlawed before it happened? I mean definitely bad shit but that’s looking at something with hindsight. Someday all of us will be monsters.
What did the natives think of the Mormons? Also what's your reading list? (Sidenote: I'd love to see a seriesor video on the French colonization of North America (Canada/Québec) and Louisiana. It's not as often talked about as the British or Spanish.)
On a scale of one to ten rate you high school history teacher
