They’ve got some very reactionary writers. They have a Russian historian on board who presented the October Revolution and the subsequent civil war. At every opportunity he would exclaim with disgust about “communist attrocities”. War Against Humanity was especially bad at the beginning when they were portraying the annexation of the Baltic Countries by the Soviet Union as the most horrible war crimes imaginable, while brushing aside Nazi war crimes during the same period (or often presenting “Soviet crimes” first and for longer, then going to Nazi crimes second and talking about them for a shorter time). I’ve heard from others that there was an episode were they talked about Nazi war crimes on Soviet soil, and their first order of business was to emphasize how the local population was suffering already because of Stalin’s regime.
There’s a reason why there’s such a big difference in the viewership count between the WW2 Week by Week series and the War Against Humanity series.
I dread watching their episode on the Greek civil war.
“In Balticonia, in a horrible and barbarian act, the soviets rounded up 1000 nazi supporters and sent them to gulags in siberia. 50 would die over the following years”
“On other news, the nazis exterminated all the jews and communists in a polish province by shooting. A comparable and unexcusable act of terror.”
Indy is good. The whole “liberal filtered” war against humanity where they place nazi and communist actions in the same list as comparable is absurd.
And I havent seen the latest videos which should cover how Britain treated Greece as a colony (which it wasnt) and caused the start of the greek civil war just to kill the communists. The start was on december 1944, which is being covered now.
I watched the Greek civil war episode today. They didn’t try to hide the involvement of the Brits, but they didn’t outright blame them on it. They took their sweet time portraying EAM-ELAS (the communists) as being unreasonable and provocative, without outright saying it.
The ending was cringe-inducing and insulting to say the least. Basically, calling “all ideologies” stupid, and not a good reason to die for. If that was the case, then what the hell for did we fight a world war? We should have all surrendered to Hitler, if “being willing to die for an idea” is stupid. Why the hell does this cracker wannabe golden age revivalist pine so much about democracy and freedom and humanity, if “being willing to die for an ideology” is so reprehensible?
The most tragic part are the comments filled with people saying “such an unbiased episode, well done!”

Jan 1940 summary be like:
“In Balticonia, in a horrible and barbarian act, the soviets rounded up 1000 nazi supporters and sent them to gulags in siberia. 50 would die over the following years”
“On other news, the nazis exterminated all the jews and communists in a polish province by shooting. A comparable and unexcusable act of terror.”
Those are the exact episodes that is the reason I stopped watching War Against Humanity.
I had almost given up on Indy’s Week by Week as well, but it got a bit better afterwards.

the last part was indeed cringe as hell. “nothing is worth dying for” is such a liberal mindset shit.
revolutions to bring progress? too violent, nothing is worth dying for
resistance to imperialists? too violent, nothing is worth dying for
