    This is not an accident, he is in the comments trying to defend the fucking dumbass nerd who decided to name himself "Carolus", saying shit like "Oh well actually he really wanted to join the actual army but they turned him away so Azov was his only option".

    Edit: Apparently his mom named him Carolus lol, that is even fucking funnier, I hope this dork got bullied in school for having a dumb name.

    Every time he's been at a "finnish gun collector" or whatever I've been a bit uncomfortable but whatever the guns are still interesting. This vid made me unsub though, fuck dude.

    I guess he decided that the backlash to having Larry "The fall of Rhodesia is the greatest tragedy since WW2" Vickers on his show to cum his pants about how cool apartheid FALs are, was low enough to feel safe directly profiting from and in turn giving money to an open Neo-Nazi who fought and still intends to fight for Neo-Nazi beliefs.

    This is the guy that campaigned for putting Nazi swastika flags and old South Africa flags on his videos of guns from that time period, why is anyone surprised?

    Always love how history bro channels don't even take a small 5 minute google search to make sure they aren't propping up legit Nazis

        Are there any actual leftist historians on YouTube or is it just dudes wanking about Rome and people not using sword correctly in movies?

            Nice, I'll have to check out plastic pills! I've watched Try and some of Atun-Shei, they got some good vids and liked his latest one going into how history was whitewashed like ignoring cases of LGBTQ people in historical records or artificats. Was hoping we'd have some more overt leftists though there's always the hope more youtubers will radicalize such as SecondThought's videos.

      I can't speak to other countries, but in the US 'gun rights' people tend to skew heavily right because the conservatives are the only main political party that, generally speaking, want to continue to permit gun ownership as is (and liberals generally want some kind of gun control, ranging from mild reform to wholesale ban).

      So...

    Ian, fucking why? There’s no way he’s not ignorant of any of this, and he’s all but confirmed to be a leftist of some stripe

      Ian is clearly right wing. it's Karl who is tenuously left. Karl should watch this video and then immediately drive to Ian's house to give him a wedgie.

        Karl has worked with Atun-shei productions who is definitely some sort of crypto-leftist and recently his channel did a video about left wing anti-fascist resistance in Italy.

          he's also made non-gun videos about anti-racism, and done videos about the underground railroad, he also interviewed Tacticool Girlfriend.

          Karl of InRangeTV. It's a channel by him and Ian, although Ian has recently scaled down his involvement, to focus on other stuff (like his publishing, which seems to be turning out well :agony-shivering:)

            He seems generally libertarian, but in the kinda "independent/idealist" libertarian way rather than the pedo way.

            apparently posters would meet with him for training and annoy and harass him for the (you)'s

            ugh I remember when you used to get made fun of for doing this kind of shit

    Looks like he's deleted the video and the one "clarifying" it

      They are both unlisted, the project was taken down from the crowdfunding website by the website itself from what I've heard, and the book as a whole is gone from the publishing house website whereas before it was listed.

      No explanation is out right now over wether this is merely a pause to the project due to funding issues or if its a cancellation of the problem once Ian started getting DMs about how the nazi author retweeted denialism articles of Swedish ethnic cleansing of Sami indigenous people and shit like that.
