Or like in Libya state fell after rebells won to the point that there was(is?) open slavery and no state. Only in Tunisia rebells won and state continued and even threre last time I read living conditions haven't really changed for a better.

Counterinsurgency instead of Crushing Insurgencies, and split Naval Warfare into Conventional, Submarine, and Carrier Warfare, as the latter is already up. Special Operations is pretty much intertwined with Espionage and Sabotage, so there's not much of a point to dedicate a whole video to all three.

@ZG-h9s or it could be that Ireland's rebellions are basically completely uninteresting until you hit the 1990's?

@@Patson20 ...yeah, that is kind of embarrassing for me. In my defense, I was writing that comment at one in the morning and not exactly thinking straight. I do stand by the general theme of what I said, though. The Apache fought a 400 year long war against the Spanish and then the US, but it isn't really heavily studied because it gets summarized as: "and then the Apache got pushed back." The 500 years of rebellions are not that interesting to anyone not Irish. (My family, funnily enough, is Irish. I'm adopted, so I'm not, but they are part of the diaspora). The most interesting part of Ireland is, to me at least, is the fact England was so terrifyingly incompetent and malicious at managing things.

Or say you were suicidal after what they could do to you in a watchlist this “could” put you in , especially if you have been identified by police in a protest already.
Yep. This video was super comprehensive, especially since it was only 28 minutes long. I would only add that "revolt" generally refers to a underclass of some kind overthrowing elites of some kind, while "revolution" usually refers to a complete restructuring of the overall society i.e. the Americans overthrowing British rule versus the Iranian clerics turning their country into a theocracy. However, I think those subtleties are beyond the scope of a video like this, and I think Simon and his team did a fantastic job! Also, did anyone else notice that weird cut between the summaries of the American and French revolutions, where Simon mentioned the American Civil War for a split second and then immediately moved on without changing his inflection? what was up with that?
@ maybe the team decided that discussing the American Civil War, and more specifically the rebels, would be too controversial for TH-cam? If that's what happened, I can understand their reasoning.
A quote from GoT that bares so much meaning to real life when I first heard it, it has just stuck with me. "When enough people make false promises, words don't have meaning anymore, there is no truth only better and better lies" I have personally got to that point several years ago. Words are hallow more so now then they have ever been imo.
It's problematic to use historical precedence because contemporary military and surveillance technology has advanced so much even in the past few decades. Totalitarian regimes have also learned from the mistakes of failed ones. The best way to stop totalitarianism is to not let it start.
Democratic backsliding is pretty prevalent right now. But you're right, fighting against a totalitarian regime is basically impossible now. The only possible way to pull it off is having the military actually on your side
no one who has ever won a revolution concerned themselves with the superiority of the regime. Revolutions are the ultimate popular vote in that if they get enough people of the nation involved and or at the least not supporting the Regime it doesn't matter how much surveillance, tracking or other intelligence measures they have they have as long as the revolution is unified in its purpose. death and fearing for ones life must have long ceased being a concern before joining a revolution.
Most people are just too stupid to understand who they´re voting for. Truth is that there will always be more people with below average inteligence, it´s just how gaussian curve works. Those who understand what is going on around them mostly can´t do anything if they´re not in positions of power. That´s why historically after revolutions, academics and university studnets are the first people who´re silenced, imprisoned or just killed. All of the mentioned is the reason why you can´t just stop totalitatiansim, most of the population simply doesn´t understand what is happeining until it´s too late.
It is a particularly fascinating motto to me. One that invites deconstruction despite only being three words long. See, choosing the word "dares" is quite unusual because it has some particular connotations. Namely, it leans towards "risk" and "unconventional," as opposed to a word choice like "bold," which might imply brave action, but not necessarily risky. There is a kind of social element to it as well. Like they achieve their goals by doing things no one would imagine anyone would "dare" to do, and so no one is prepared when they actually do it. Probably one of my least favorite mottos, all in all, because once you go this far down the analysis rabbit hole, you start asking: "so... does that mean if I "dare" to, say, level a populated city block to kill a target, I've won?" I write for a living, and spend a lot of my time working in education, so I get that I am way overanalyzing here. But I always do wonder if these shades of meaning actually have an impact on behavior. Funnily enough, it would have less of an impact - working under the presumption it has any all - if it wasn't a group like SAS. I generally find that the smarter someone is, the more likely they are to use a twisted meaning of a motto or phrase to justify something terrible. In other words, your average infanteyman isn't going to bother with the mental gymnastics I had to do to get here - but the more elite the solider, the more likely they are to follow the train of thought. >_

I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.

For a rebellion to succeed, it needs either foreign support or military support. Not a single recorded rebellion in history has succeeded without one or the other, not even the famous ones like the French Revolution, the Soviet Revolution, or the American Revolution.
@@thebiologist8662 not meeting fierce resistance and getting legitimate support from the army to remove the current government are *VERY* different The government was far to petrified at the idea of being captured by such a radical movement that most of them fled before the revolution even succeeded, thus removing any chance at retaining the current leadership. The people put the shah/the guards in that position, not any outside force or enteral sway/betrayal, so your literally wrong by your own standards.
Wow, another great episode, really gave some important insights into revolutions. One important factor for the success of a revolution that future governments can learn from to protect themselves is not to have a single strongman, like a king or emperor for the masses to focus their fury on. Sadly, some governments create divinity for themselves, like an Ayatollah to divert the focus of popular dissatisfaction to unassailable figures but the best solution is a highly competent society driven by meritocracy.
Okay nice list & vid on this relaxing fall Saturday... as usual here on Warfronts. Tbh though, all that talk of clandestine rebel forces banished to the rural jungle in an unending stalemate had me anticipating the notorious FARC revelationary guerillas in present day Colombia, would've been a good one to drop in there, but I'm sure it's hard to get everyone in the making of these... Thanks for putting the work in though, I watch every vid u guys put out! 💯😅😅
When I opened this video, for some reason I got a message from what appears to be a 24/7 helpline from the Health Ministry here in Spain. I mean, I _could_ do with more GPs on my health plan, but I wonder why they should send me that message when I _know_ it isn't about that.
There is a small nation that stood alone not for one year or two, but for several hundred years against aggression; that endured spoliations, famine, massacres, in endless succession; that was clubbed many times into insensibility, but each time on returning to consciousness took up the fight anew; a small nation that could never be got to accept defeat and has never surrendered her soul?" - Eamon De Valera
I mean, that would be impressive if you don't happen to know how Britain managed Ireland. There really isn't much spirit required to choose "rebellion," when the choices are rebel or die. Like, I can't imagine people were keen on a "Potato Famine: Part II."
“No revolution can ever succeed as a factor of liberation unless the MEANS used to further it be identical in spirit and tendency with the PURPOSES to be achieved. Revolution is the negation of the existing, a violent protest against man's inhumanity to man with all the thousand and one slaveries it involves.” - Emma Goldman.

@@bondsgoat25 The army did not fight for the Sha or defected. The Sha explicitly prohibited the army from firing on civilians. Next.
@@haavmonkey British intervention and Polish soldiers switching sides. Next.
@@thebiologist8662 not meeting fierce resistance and getting legitimate support from the army to remove the current government are *VERY* different
The government was far to petrified at the idea of being captured by such a radical movement that most of them fled before the revolution even succeeded, thus removing any chance at retaining the current leadership.
The people put the shah/the guards in that position, not any outside force or enteral sway/betrayal, so your literally wrong by your own standards.
Hey! It's Bald Vsauce!!
Wow, another great episode, really gave some important insights into revolutions. One important factor for the success of a revolution that future governments can learn from to protect themselves is not to have a single strongman, like a king or emperor for the masses to focus their fury on. Sadly, some governments create divinity for themselves, like an Ayatollah to divert the focus of popular dissatisfaction to unassailable figures but the best solution is a highly competent society driven by meritocracy.
Okay nice list & vid on this relaxing fall Saturday... as usual here on Warfronts. Tbh though, all that talk of clandestine rebel forces banished to the rural jungle in an unending stalemate had me anticipating the notorious FARC revelationary guerillas in present day Colombia, would've been a good one to drop in there, but I'm sure it's hard to get everyone in the making of these... Thanks for putting the work in though, I watch every vid u guys put out! 💯😅😅
they did at least include some footage of both FARC and ELN in the first part of the video
This video is most definitely getting hit by the algorithm
Deny, Defend, Depose
Second video I've seen from you, nice listens when working or just doing whatever at home. Definitely subscribing
When I opened this video, for some reason I got a message from what appears to be a 24/7 helpline from the Health Ministry here in Spain. I mean, I _could_ do with more GPs on my health plan, but I wonder why they should send me that message when I _know_ it isn't about that.
There is a small nation that stood alone not for one year or two, but for several hundred years against aggression; that endured spoliations, famine, massacres, in endless succession; that was clubbed many times into insensibility, but each time on returning to consciousness took up the fight anew; a small nation that could never be got to accept defeat and has never surrendered her soul?" - Eamon De Valera
God bless sacred isles.
I mean, that would be impressive if you don't happen to know how Britain managed Ireland. There really isn't much spirit required to choose "rebellion," when the choices are rebel or die.
Like, I can't imagine people were keen on a "Potato Famine: Part II."
As a yank i love hearing simon talk about the american revolution. Lol
Thanks for the magna Carta, and you're welcome for the constitution. Lol

I'll be sharing this with me friends in Georgia 🇬🇪
Well, this is timely.
Thanks for mentioning Myanmar.
As an Englishman living in Poland, I have to say I've become well aware of the idea of rebellion, it's a national pastime here.
Yup
Someone in Syria took notes
It's about time we actually did something about stuff
Good job putting yourself on a watchlist
@ContentEnjoyer-gm3ky if ya not on a watchlist, your not enjoying life enough.
how does this guy have so many channels???
Very strange that the Crisis Hotline popped up for this video...
Deny Defend Depose.
Thanks for the advice, Simon.
“No revolution can ever succeed as a factor of liberation unless the MEANS used to further it be identical in spirit and tendency with the PURPOSES to be achieved.
Revolution is the negation of the existing, a violent protest against man's inhumanity to man with all the thousand and one slaveries it involves.” - Emma Goldman.
We need one here .
Syrian rebels really saw this video.
The Haitian rebellion turned revolution against the French had reverberating effects across the world
Deny Defend Depose
Divided We Fall
Reminds me of a quote by my favorite artist: "These divided states of embarrassment"
I love the Art of War series. Any chance you’ll do one on the history where naval warfare was instrumental?
Why is the crisis lifeline attached to this video???
Ironic that TH-cam put the suicide line on this vid
Why did i get a "you are not alone" warning popup under this video?
youtube... what are you suggesting?
The fact this appeared after a Unionized post is gold
lol did the crisis helpline show up for anyone else?
yeah idk what's going on
2:32 didn't know Liam Neeson was so old 😅
I’m surprised the video didn’t cover slave revolts like Spartacus
Spartacus was the GOAT
I was hoping to actually learn how rebellions succeed.
With all the unrest going on lately, then this video shows up 😂. What is happening
cant wait for more content like this
No great change is bloodless.
Important video Simon!
Sadly Rebels can lead rebellions, but they fail at ruling.
Rebellions never end well for rebels.
The American revolution…
The American Revolution led to the Civil War, KKK, Nazis, WW2 and Holocaust
Also Jan 6th and Trump
@@rebelfriend9006 American's were already autonomies for like hundred yers beforehand with strong culture, identity, and industry before the tea was spilt.

So it’s treason then
Depends on who wins the conflict...
You forgot the Spanish Civil War of 1936 also would’ve been cold to cover the Easter rising and the Irish independence movement
Simon wants people to rebel... i better call the FBI 😂
too late... I already did. He's fucked.
You called
They would only care if he was conservative and here in the US.
Found part of the problem!
That'd be the CIA buddy, FBI is only domestic.
Great history lesson!
Last time I was this early in the comment section was during the France revolution...
Maybe we could wake up in Canada and give it our all!
deny defend depose
Great Work
would be interesting to hear a review on 2014 maidan, in this completely neutral educational video
You forgot the Intifadas and the Maidan.
He ain't gonna cover everything, and the Intifadas are not very special in the grand scheme of things. And he said he wasn't focusing on political revolutions
@@jamesoconnor5908 Didn't mention the Irish Rebellion.
Seems sus.
@@Zieg_Games ? What

‘Fadas are more like global riots over a cause somewhere else.
Why am i getting the crisis hotline link for this?
It's a threat 😂
modern politics sure is depressing.
