- In this video, we’re going to look at a simple explanation of militarism as well as the arguments for and against militarism.
Militarism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of military power and values in the functioning and development of a society. It is characterized by a strong emphasis on military preparedness and the glorification of military virtues, such as bravery and loyalty. Militarism often involves the expansion of military forces and the acquisition of military resources, as well as the use of military force to achieve national objectives.

I learned a lot from todays episode!!!
Thank you for this insightful video.
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it! :)
I've never seen this channel before and I understand militarism already lol. But I think your channel so far has offered some of the most unbiased explanations of concepts. You explained why some people are for or against it while clearly remaining neutral and not making things look inherently good or evil
Thank you! That’s my main goal: to explain concepts without trying to persuade one way or the other. My videos and channel isn’t perfect, but I hope you’ll stick around and check out some of the other videos :)
@@IllustratetoEducateNK havent taken a step outside of thier land, USA is fighting wars on the other side of the globe to enrichen american corporations meanwhile killing civilians, why did you not mention USA instead of NK?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm opposed to militarism. There's a reason why the founders of the US were so concerned about the idea of maintaining a standing army in peacetime. The domestic military often proves to be more dangerous to civil liberties than any imagined foreign adversary, and that's before getting into how excessive military spending is detrimental to the general welfare.
Really good point! It’s quite surprising how much of each tax dollar is used on military spending. I don’t know the exact amount but I feel like it was over .50 of every dollar.
@@IllustratetoEducate You might be thinking of discretionary spending, which is nearly half military. Once you include mandatory spending it isn't so high, but it's still an awful lot and the US spends way more on the military than any other country on the planet.
Very interesting ! In the pros, I would have personally added the advancement of army sciences, like build new innovating machines, and maybe discover new energies.
For sure! That’s a good one. Thanks for watching!
Well said. I couldn’t agree more
Great video as always 🎉
I'm a militarist I belive a strong military for the country not only to defend the civilians but our beliefs as well same with stronger police force
Ok but what about using military for expansion and imperialism?
@@elomial724 honestly everyone has imperialsm within them so i don't see much of an issue with that look at the ussr who claimed to hate imperialsm but still wanted expansion
@@Rasputin-the-true-emperor-man I have nothing against militarism and imperialism. I love both, just asking you if you support it too. The soviet propaganda is illogical and contradictory.
@@elomial724 sorry if I came off as hostile I didn't mean to homie i agree with this 👍
@@Rasputin-the-true-emperor-man based
Japan and Germany have developed a culture of punctuality, rationality efficiency and work ethic and have kept away from strong war interferrence the last decades
It said its related to millitarist cultural values , but while countries like italy , usa china or russia barely have such established values no matter how much millitary values or religious types they claim they have today .
Millitarism can be very awful or fascist , but it doesn't have to always be in that way .
>doesn't evevn mention Prussia as an example
>or Laconia
0/10 militarism is based and anyone who disagrees need to check their T levels
Yeah lol, it's usually the pacifist hippie california losers who oppose militarism. Militarism is for the elite high T men
Living on and around agriculture and animals it is interesting to watch young animals at what is basically "play" and "aggressive behavior" that often looks like fighting and yet often these competitors become great friends and spend time together as they continue to grow and mature. I enjoyed sports and athletics when I was young but I was never sufficiently developed to make a career of it in my opinion so while I like History and Math and Physics and other areas where I have taken some interest at my core and gut .... my instincts always tell me that sports and competitions and, yest, War is more natural and normal than sitting around reading. War and the Military are core parts of our human being and culture although I have to admit at times that it troubles me how it is used in practice and what we have become as a species as a result of the randomness of wars over many centuries. But surely modern arenas where men play Football or Hockey or Basketball or Soccer are more civilized than the violent arenas of Ancient Rome. But maybe it makes sense to turn this natural aggression and use it for economic expansion and to build an empire.
I Like patriotic militarism and state control of economy (socialism)
How can this be considered "objective" if the only four examples you expounded on were the Axis powers and North Korea, nations which are almost universally condemned as evil? Is it also not historically myopic and condescending to JUST cover the 20th century onward? Are we expected to be too stupid and/or ignorant to comprehend Rome, Sparta, and Genghis Kahn's empire in antiquity? Furthermore, for the pros, you only listed three examples but in the cons you listed four. Your video demonstrates you're _against_ militarism and if you're taking a side and favoring that side, you discredit your own claims to objectivity.
Truth. Inca Empire also fits militarism, & besides human sacrifice, they were a great nation (I'd argue to have been born then instead of now).
@@holybased901
Look into George Bataille; he did a lot of work on the Aztec and overall concept of human sacrifice that changed my mind on the matter. A TH-camr named "Sea of Fog" summarized a lot of it in a review he did for _Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs._
You seem to have forgotten the US from the Vietnam war, Iraq and Afghanistan...
The US is mentioned in the video to be an example of militarism. There's definitely more examples out there than in the video.
@@IllustratetoEducate I may have missed it. My bad...
@@vondoromal7016 not a problem. You’re certainly not wrong about those examples.
@@IllustratetoEducate I get VA disability, have a civil service job courtesy of the Army Material Command, and member of the Army Reserve that will give me a retirement income at age 60.
The US militarism has certainly gave me a lot. More than any private company can provide. We even got a cost of living increase.
I recommend people to join and become veterans because a person can get so much more from educational benefit, to income, to house purchases, to tax exemption and all that free stuff during veteran's day.
A hot take disclosure: I would give that all up so everyone, including me, get UBI!
Decent video except I'm baffled as to why the U.S. was not placed as a (TOP) example of a country with militaristic values. I think your bias was showing.
Oh it’s in there - “Militarism has been a significant force in the politics and history of many countries to varying degrees, including the United States, Russia, and China…”
But you’re right, it’s not one of the historical examples…
I like militarism
Hello!
Hello! 👋🏼
I believe that militarism, like nuclear energy, can be used for good; It's all a matter of it being carried out by somebody that places the interests of the state and its citizens over their own. This is where Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Hirohito, and many others went severely wrong. Also, the Spartans were the first society to enact militarism as common law. They made it work longer than any of the future nations to try it.
Please explain Fascism

My thoughts are neutral.
My OC whom which is a militarist believes in the cons but does not use authoritarian rule or does not crave for world dominance and does not. Repress his own people
BASED!!! Territorial expansion!!!
