Thank you very much - I was unfamiliar both with the history of German unification and the strange path of Bavaria under Ludwig, and also with Wagner's own story (Bakunin, indeed!). I am suitably instructed!
I don't quite remember, but it's possible I first heard of Wagner in conjunction with the fictional Air Cav unit in Apocalypse Now. And for the WW2 generation he was often known as Hitler's favorite composer. So his reputation has already survived association with violence, both frivolous and horrific. But survive it does, with new generations connecting in new (if sometimes misdirected ways) and this is what marks him as timeless. So, don't worry about it. To quote an entirely different musical, "hakuna mattata", man. Hakkunamattata.
If you read Shitipeadia they’ll tell you it’s because they’re neo nahtzi mid century painter enjoyers. Tbh, I reckon it’s because of the association between The Ride of the Valkyrie and the film Apocalypse Now. Simply put, I think they just wanted a call name.
One theory is that the founder was a neo nazi and named it after hitlers favour musician, wagner. Certainly that was his call sign prior to establishing the group

Absolutely fascinating dive into his works and life story!
I do get chills hearing the 'Pilgrim's Chorus'.

Tchaikovsky calling Brahms a copy of Beethoven is quite rich lol.
but at least we're not speaking German eh
They wouldn't even have forced us to do that.
I’d rather speak German than live in this hell.
Excellent narration of the life of this extraordinary composer
Such a shame most normies will have heard the name as that Russian Expeditionary Force, rather than his work
Both are good. But only one will save the West and the World.
They use the name as an homage and are known as “the Musicians”, so even that road leads back to the man himself.
@@DH-iw5bp don't think he'd want to be associated with those people

Fascinating...
Yes!!
Lots of people here can't read the one rule. *Taps the sign*
You were slightly too close to the microphone while doing this, great content as always otherwise.
What did he think about Jews?
He adored them
In German, a 'v' is pronounced like an 'f' in English.
Please, spread the word.
What, fagner? I think we could do without insulting the man merely by uttering his name.
@@vorynrosethorn903 no no Wagner is like ‘vagner’, and volk is like ‘folk’, that what he means (though I don’t believe that)
Why is the Wagner PMC called Wagner?
If you read Shitipeadia they’ll tell you it’s because they’re neo nahtzi mid century painter enjoyers. Tbh, I reckon it’s because of the association between The Ride of the Valkyrie and the film Apocalypse Now. Simply put, I think they just wanted a call name.
I think their main guy who trained them had a callsign " Wagner" while he was mercenary or spec. forces, something like that...
That's because the founder of that PMC is interested in the third Reich. Wagner is Hitler's favorite composer.
Because they are musiscians turned mercs

Wagner was based as f#ck.
Why are you “promoting a criminal organisation”
RIP apostolic majesty The channel was entertaining while it lasted : (
Elaborate
Mindless and embarrassing comment.
It's a joke about the composer having had his name adopted by a certain Russian mercenary outfit.
@@shehannanayakkara4162 you can get a strike on you’re channel for saying the name
@@avus-kw2f213Shut up! You know nothing but lies told you since infancy!
Wastrel, Saxon, Protestant, former revolutionary… 🤮
Wagner was a Protestant. No Protestant makes good art
Errol Flynn?
