To add some context to Giles corey, if somebody was convicted of witchcraft then all of their property would be taken and auctioned off, regardless of if they had any family that it would otherwise go to. By not giving a plea at all, it would be impossible for them to actually declare him guilty, thus Corey ensured that his family wouldn't loose the roof over their heads after his death. Also the "Einstein was bad at math" myth probably comes from the way math was graded in Austria and Germany. Both graded maths on a scale of 1 to 6, but in one country (cant remember which) a 1 was the worst grade and 6 was the best, while in the other 6 was the worst and 1 was the best. So likely the myth comes from someone not knowing which country the grades came from since he lived in both countries at different points in his life.
technically, there were burnings in the EUROPEAN witch hunts, just not the American ones. For example, in the German witch hunts from 1626 to 1631, 900 of the 1000 convicted witches were burned alive
Salem isn't really the best example of American witch hunts either. In other areas there were hundreds of deaths that spanned across towns. The witch hunters would go out looking for educated and disabled women and murder them.
They weren't even trying to make Giles Corey confess. They just needed him to enter a plea in his trial. They couldn't convict him of witchcraft without him entering a plea (but could torture him until he claimed guilt or innocence). Either way, they were going to convict him and confiscate his land (probably after executing him). By dying before entering a plea, he ensured that his children would inherit his property. The whole thing was probably a scheme to steal his property.

Hitler did have the idea of an affordable car for the people. He then asked Ferdinand Porsche (yes, THAT Porsche) to design it. People in German is Volks, car is Wagen. Volkswagen. Car of the People. And thus, VW Beetle was born.
it's ironic because the "people's car" is also notorious for bursting into flames due to factors such as early fuel filters being made of glass that were routed right above the distributor and the hot aircooled motor which resulted in fires, they then tried to rectify the issue later on by using plastic fuel filters which obviously would melt and dump fuel on everything. that, combined with poor quality control and the engine being in the rear resulted in a cheap car that could catch fire without you knowing that the car caught fire until you could see flames in the rear view mirror. an old ex fire-fighter once explained to me that "If your VW catches on fire, you have very little time to save your car, if the fuel line that feeds the fuel pump melts, or if the filter breaks and is the cause of the fire, the higher fuel tank will just keep feeding the fire until the tank is empty. Once the mag case gets going, your car is done. "
I am actually 99% sure that the Einstein fact was a part of mistranslation, cause in some european countries, grades are listed in reverse order, so a reporter basically just saw his grade being listed in a different language, reported on it, and everyone just mistook it as saying that he had terrible grades in school, but in reality it was just a misunderstanding.
to be fair, burning suspected witches at the stake was very much a thing in Europe. that's why it shows up a lot in media. its just that we heavily associate witch hunting with Salem here in North America, so those wires are easy to get crossed.
I've heard a lot of people say Hitler built the Autobahn and Mussolini made the trains run on time. I don't see it as 'defending' them. You can be the worst most evil leader there is and still make good policy decisions. Acknowledging a good policy decision they made isn't defending them, it's just acknowledging something had positive outcomes. Being evil doesn't mean all your actions and ideas as a leader are evil by association.
My first job out of college was a non-union welding job under a contractor in a local factory. Of the 2 other contractors and the actual factory workers we were the only non-union shop and weirdly enough we were the only group with 0 workplace fatalities in the last 20 years, had the shortest shifts, the most time off in a week, and the best insurance. Because sometimes unions are corrupt as shit and if your union organizer is also one of the company's shareholders thats a big ass red flag.
I head about the hitler and mussolini thing before as a way to justify why people blinding following them. Ignoring the fact german and italians had tons of problems and they basically made promises to get voted in.

ACTUALLY! There’s a real reason people thought Einstein failed math. If I’m not mistaken, it showed in his grades that he got an F in math at some point, but that school was in Germany and at the time an F meant an A.

Funny enough I just went to Salem a week ago. Giles Corey was likely accused because if a person made a plea of either guilt or innocence of being a witch, the government could take everything they owned. By refusing to plea either way, Giles Corey ensured his land, money, and belongings went to his kids instead of the government
Wasn't the point of the iron maiden that it forced the person to stand ramrod straight for hours/days? They cant move, slouch, or lean without getting stabbed by nails.
We had to read about Salem witch trials in middle school, the whole thing was pretty crazy. Some girls lying, some mass hysteria, and then some neighbors settling old feuds spun way out of control.
burning witches is our thing... in a city here in the black forest in germany near where i live (like 10 minutes away) we still have 3 steaks around the city where witches used to be burned. nowadays there is a hiking path through the forest around the city you can use to visit all three of them

Well, on that topic. Nazi Germany was the first nation to ban vivisection (scientific dissection of LIVE animals). A law imposing total ban on vivisection was enacted on August 16, 1933, by Hermann Göring as the prime minister of Prussia. He also sent people to concentration camps for animal cruelty. They also banned hunting and some leaders, including Adolf, were vegetarians. Hitler used animal rights as one of his justifications to hate the Jews...something about being against kosher slaughter and also that the religion views human life as more intrinsically valuable than all animal life. Basically, they were rabid animal rights activists...REALLY rabid. Human rights, not so much. Also the development of the cute little Volkswagen Beetle was sponsored by Hitler and Ferdinand Porsche as an affordable "peoples' car".

Yeah. Burning alive is something that mostly happened during the medieval ages. And, even then, it was usually only because they had a pyre going already. People died so frequently back then that, they were basically just always burning or burying bodies. Well, the lower class died all the time, anyway. :P

Burning witches was mostly a French, German, and Scottish thing IIRC. England and the Colonies preferred hanging. I don't remember what they did in Italy, Spain, and Eastern Europe. I think the popular image of witch burnings comes from Joan of Arc (which, again, was an English-backed execution but took place in France). And even then, Joan was accused of witchcraft but wasn't convicted of it. She signed a confession for crossdressing and for heresy about the whole hearing the Saints thing. And she wasn't even executed for that! The guards ripped up her dress, forcing her back into men's clothes and voiding the terms of confession (at which point she went, "Fuck you then, I DID hear the Saints!") and they burned her for that. For being "relapsed apostate".
Yeah Burning Witches was exclusively a European thing, but for some reason Salem became the most famous set of trials in spite of being one of the smallest (a small European witch trial could have hundreds of executions at a time repeatedly).
Spent 14 years running a Brake Press on a None Union job, and it wasn't what I call Terrible. Actually found it quite fun. Was it hard work? Most definitely, but I wouldn't call it terrible.
I had someone say the hitler thing while i was working at a cemetery. Lot of old, sad people. But this guy was just weird. He and his wife visited their own gravestone every week. To quote him "say what you will about Hitler, but he knew how to get people working"
Einstein had in almost all school subjects the final grade 6. That's the best grade in Switzerland. But in Germany it's the worst. And the first person who wrote his memoires thought it's the german system.
Thanks for the Video! Also Alicia if you like Sam's videos I know a great TH-camr that does funny history videos in a similar style called BlueJay with my favorite being called The Dumbest Russian voyage nobody talks about it's a fun time too watch
With the fascist stuff, it was during the depression, so there were a lot of government work programs that the fascists could take credit for, they were good at propaganda if nothing else. And things like autobahn and train networks were good for moving military stuff around.
Number 6 is inaccurate. He is talking about the architects and the people who were in charge of the slaves. And Hitler didn't expand the autobaun, people under him did.
Regarding the Hitler one, I used to be in the VERY crowd. I've since grown way past it. Nah yeah it's basically a neo-nazi psi-op, trying to minimize Hitler's atrocities while maximizing what little good he might somehow be partly responsible for. btw i love your reactions, you're fun to watch
Still being in that very crowd I have to say I've never once seen that ever used to "minimize" his actions. In fact the atrocities are straight up denied off the bat, not glossed over. I can tell you're making stuff up too considering you didn't even spell psyop right.
So the whole Egyptian slave thing. Technically they did have "slave labor" but that was only for convicted criminals or people in debt. They weren't treated as slaves so much as like community service workers. The majority of people who built the pyramids were paid workers that were extremely well fed. Because this was seen as a holy service they wanted the workers happy and efficient.
You are completely ignoring the many other slaves they did absolutely have and treated horribly, they still enslaved many people they made war with and saying "only" people in debt or criminals completely undercuts how that could easily apply and be used on many people and the fact that they were a huge number of them, the only makes it seem like a temporary thing that just a few suffered. Plus Ancient Egypt lasted thousands of years with several changes so trying to generalize their treatment, conditions, number of slaves etc... is impossible. Still it's important to not take that Egypt was an uniquely evil civilization but that essentially all mayor civilization until the modern era had some significant amount of slavery.
People's limited understanding of the Bible not being a direct historical resource as well as the fact that it is from the perspective of one group caused that issue. The Jewish people lived in an apartheid system an as such were a lower class than the Egyptians. The Bible has nothing about how Egypt really was outside of the Jewish settlements. That correction that the Jewish were not technically slaves and that the pyramids were the product of skilled laborers often makes people forget that they absolutely had slaves and used them for the unskilled parts of the construction. More than just criminal and debt slaves but also from war.
@@Cold444W I'm not saying they didn't have them, just the majority of "slaves" were just criminals or people indebted. Even then we can debate if any could be considered slaves since they did have a few rights. They could own property and even can be transferred over to a new master if working conditions were too bad under the old one. There is evidence of this happening but we don't know how wide spread that was.
As far as I know in Russia we somehow pass witch hunting… at least active witch hunting. And there common believe that the only reason Russian women was for a long time considered the most beautiful in the world is because we didn’t killed all women that appeared to be a witch by European standards at that times. Also for me it always was stupid how they tested witch somebody or not. I mean, there so many ways! They could’ve at least try non-lethal ones first!
we like to paint the past whit more brutallity that it had to make us feel good. and tho it was very brutal, i dont think the khan would have opened a snuff telegram chanel to laugh at it whit all the mongols, but the are states today that did exactly that.
The Autobahn, while improved for civilian vehicles, was still a failure for Hitler's primary purpose. The Autobahn's expansion was primarily intended to allow transport of tanks more efficiently throughout Germany. This didn't work as tanks were simply too large and heavy for many of the mountainous roadways.
i very much dislike how the world used hittler to hide all their prior antisemitism, but some people dont like to hear it cause it sounds like i am defending him, i am not, he was a monster and an imbecile.
Einstein never failed maths, however HP Lovecraft (the famous author) was described as "not having the constitution for maths". Apparently he had similar problems with a wide variety of subjects, which is why he has a lot of descriptions that sound great unless you actually understand them. Such as "Colours unlike any seen on Earth", which isn't all that hard, it's just that our eyes can't see them. Because why would you evolve eyes that see light that isn't around you? Also, non Euclidian geometry is just 3 dimensional geometry.
Apparently, while he loved science, he described math as boring and giving him headaches. TBF I'm willing to bet a lot of people can sympathize with the hatred of math. Dude is fascinating to read about, he's a lot more nuanced than just the "UBER RACIST writer" that everyone likes to simplify him to. In fact, his stances actually began to soften immensely toward the end of his life during the Great Depression. Too bad said end of life was in his 40's. Maybe he could have fully left that mindset?

I think the popular image of witch burnings comes from Joan of Arc (which, again, was an English-backed execution but took place in France). And even then, Joan was accused of witchcraft but wasn't convicted of it. She signed a confession for crossdressing and for heresy about the whole hearing the Saints thing. And she wasn't even executed for that! The guards ripped up her dress, forcing her back into men's clothes and voiding the terms of confession (at which point she went, "Fuck you then, I DID hear the Saints!") and they burned her for that. For being "relapsed apostate".
Would love to see more Sam O'nella!
Yeah Burning Witches was exclusively a European thing, but for some reason Salem became the most famous set of trials in spite of being one of the smallest (a small European witch trial could have hundreds of executions at a time repeatedly).
YESS the Sam O'Nella RABBIT HOLE CLAIMS ALL OF US THERE US NO ESCAPING IT!
BRING MORE SAMMMMM, AAAAAAAA
Burning witches was more a German states thing.
Spent 14 years running a Brake Press on a None Union job, and it wasn't what I call Terrible. Actually found it quite fun. Was it hard work? Most definitely, but I wouldn't call it terrible.
I think the context about einsetein failing math is because he got a 5 in math. but that was in an austrian school. 5 is the highest grade there.
I had someone say the hitler thing while i was working at a cemetery.
Lot of old, sad people. But this guy was just weird. He and his wife visited their own gravestone every week.
To quote him "say what you will about Hitler, but he knew how to get people working"
Yaaay, Alicia with more Sam O'Nella
Einstein had in almost all school subjects the final grade 6. That's the best grade in Switzerland. But in Germany it's the worst. And the first person who wrote his memoires thought it's the german system.
Thanks for the Video!
Also Alicia if you like Sam's videos I know a great TH-camr that does funny history videos in a similar style called BlueJay with my favorite being called The Dumbest Russian voyage nobody talks about it's a fun time too watch
You owe it to yourself to do some BLUEJAY history vids.
YES
With the fascist stuff, it was during the depression, so there were a lot of government work programs that the fascists could take credit for, they were good at propaganda if nothing else. And things like autobahn and train networks were good for moving military stuff around.
Witches were burned in Europe in medieval times.

(sees many paragraphs)
Thanks for this.
He uploaded again today!
You should do the Michael Reeves surgery robot video
I think salem witch trails is just a small Portion of how many realy happened
If you liked this video, I'd like to suggest Oversimplified's videos to you, Alicia! I think you'd find them really entertaining and interesting!
yes i love sam
I think they only burned witches in Europe
Number 6 is inaccurate. He is talking about the architects and the people who were in charge of the slaves. And Hitler didn't expand the autobaun, people under him did.
Day 2 of asking Alicia to play Deep Rock Galactic ROCK AND STONE
I too love fun facts and sam o'nella
UUHHHH "Budai" MEANS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN MY REGION ⊙﹏⊙
(tho here it's spelled "buday" and "buray" is its other variation)
Regarding the Hitler one, I used to be in the VERY crowd. I've since grown way past it. Nah yeah it's basically a neo-nazi psi-op, trying to minimize Hitler's atrocities while maximizing what little good he might somehow be partly responsible for.
btw i love your reactions, you're fun to watch
Still being in that very crowd I have to say I've never once seen that ever used to "minimize" his actions. In fact the atrocities are straight up denied off the bat, not glossed over. I can tell you're making stuff up too considering you didn't even spell psyop right.
yeah a lot of people were burned in eurooe but in salem. nah.
So the whole Egyptian slave thing. Technically they did have "slave labor" but that was only for convicted criminals or people in debt. They weren't treated as slaves so much as like community service workers. The majority of people who built the pyramids were paid workers that were extremely well fed. Because this was seen as a holy service they wanted the workers happy and efficient.
You are completely ignoring the many other slaves they did absolutely have and treated horribly, they still enslaved many people they made war with and saying "only" people in debt or criminals completely undercuts how that could easily apply and be used on many people and the fact that they were a huge number of them, the only makes it seem like a temporary thing that just a few suffered. Plus Ancient Egypt lasted thousands of years with several changes so trying to generalize their treatment, conditions, number of slaves etc... is impossible. Still it's important to not take that Egypt was an uniquely evil civilization but that essentially all mayor civilization until the modern era had some significant amount of slavery.
People's limited understanding of the Bible not being a direct historical resource as well as the fact that it is from the perspective of one group caused that issue. The Jewish people lived in an apartheid system an as such were a lower class than the Egyptians. The Bible has nothing about how Egypt really was outside of the Jewish settlements. That correction that the Jewish were not technically slaves and that the pyramids were the product of skilled laborers often makes people forget that they absolutely had slaves and used them for the unskilled parts of the construction. More than just criminal and debt slaves but also from war.
@@Cold444W I'm not saying they didn't have them, just the majority of "slaves" were just criminals or people indebted. Even then we can debate if any could be considered slaves since they did have a few rights. They could own property and even can be transferred over to a new master if working conditions were too bad under the old one. There is evidence of this happening but we don't know how wide spread that was.
As far as I know in Russia we somehow pass witch hunting… at least active witch hunting. And there common believe that the only reason Russian women was for a long time considered the most beautiful in the world is because we didn’t killed all women that appeared to be a witch by European standards at that times.
Also for me it always was stupid how they tested witch somebody or not. I mean, there so many ways! They could’ve at least try non-lethal ones first!
wait sshes watching SAM?!?!?!
Please do more
you shoudl watch revolver animation seraphim sans vs ultra sans
we like to paint the past whit more brutallity that it had to make us feel good.

Wasn't Skillshare exposed as a scam?
I am from Germany and did never here the Hitler thing(5:10 in the video )
PLEASE WATCH EPITHET ERASED, ITS GOOD
Don't take papa meat as a reference for anything
Day 204 of asking Alicia to play Nier:Automata!!
commenting for the Algorithm Gods.
The Autobahn, while improved for civilian vehicles, was still a failure for Hitler's primary purpose. The Autobahn's expansion was primarily intended to allow transport of tanks more efficiently throughout Germany. This didn't work as tanks were simply too large and heavy for many of the mountainous roadways.
Nice
Title typo
Haha, typo
Day 142 of asking Alicia to watch the Kirby anime
i very much dislike how the world used hittler to hide all their prior antisemitism, but some people dont like to hear it cause it sounds like i am defending him, i am not, he was a monster and an imbecile.
Kanye literally brought up the Autobahn thing in his defense of Hitler. Insanity.
Where did you go to high-school, damn
Einstein never failed maths, however HP Lovecraft (the famous author) was described as "not having the constitution for maths". Apparently he had similar problems with a wide variety of subjects, which is why he has a lot of descriptions that sound great unless you actually understand them. Such as "Colours unlike any seen on Earth", which isn't all that hard, it's just that our eyes can't see them. Because why would you evolve eyes that see light that isn't around you? Also, non Euclidian geometry is just 3 dimensional geometry.
Apparently, while he loved science, he described math as boring and giving him headaches. TBF I'm willing to bet a lot of people can sympathize with the hatred of math. Dude is fascinating to read about, he's a lot more nuanced than just the "UBER RACIST writer" that everyone likes to simplify him to. In fact, his stances actually began to soften immensely toward the end of his life during the Great Depression. Too bad said end of life was in his 40's. Maybe he could have fully left that mindset?
Wait... you had proof and you enabled her to continue being a teacher so that you didn't have to go to a class? You're horrible.
