Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

The military history is iffy but it's an interesting video.

I've read a couple of good books on the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD - the best was 'The Battle That Stopped Rome' by Peter Wells. The ambush and slaughter of three Roman legions by forces under the command of Arminius was a watershed event in the history of Western Europe and a fascinating story.

I will try to find time to listen at some point today.

Modern historians think the battle was not really what stopped Roman expansion north, but rather the fact that the Rhine River was a natural border for Rome and nothing north of it would be easily defendable and made economically productive (due to travel restrictions).

Forget where I read it, Davies's Europe or MacDonald's Individualism, but the origins of the Germanic Tribes was Indoeuropean migration from the east to the west, and then a push back to the east, which put them in contact with Rome. At least at the general level the video seems accurate.
(And a whole lot more interesting than the trolling of the left today!)

I was reading today that a lot of doubt has been cast on the Anatolian Hypothesis by genetic evidence. Believe it or not, Alain de Benoist wrote a book about the Indo-Europeans back in the late 1960s. I read an updated version from 1997. It's a fairly slim volume. Now I feel like rereading it. One of the theories that I found fascinating was that the Proto-Indo-European homeland was in the north. What I remember of the linguistic evidence is that the terms for various fauna and flora native to the Boreal region of Europe (e.g. beaver, amber) are derived from the same root in all Indo-European languages.
