conquering vast swaths of land seems kinda pointless, you can never occupy it for more than a few years because that takes way too many men
They could by using locals
The empire broke up because of Antipater though
Killed Alexander's son so the empire ended up split amongst the Diadochi
Which lead to hellenism spreading to India and whatnot
i only read alexanders wikipedia article on a train ride so im not too familiar
the whole expansion into india went pretty poorly didnt it
Basically Alexander just took over the preexisting Persian satrapy system
The expansion into India didn't happen at all
Soldiers mutinied
But under the Seleucids they tried I think
Ended up in some sor tof settlement
well "Feldzug", i couldnt think of a proper translation
Much later there were Indo-Greek kingdoms
The campaign ended before the Indus river
Alexander wanted to go further but his soldiers refused basically
Is race a factor to this? Should we support free lunches for people who can't afford? Note that the person who made the video is a leftist remainer who used to be more left wing centrist and I don't even know his other views on immigration anymore. That said, the majority of his followers in the comments are far leftist remainers who don't wish to blame changing demographics.

I subscribed to him back in 2016 when I was a right wing libertarian but he occasionally blamed capitalism on the issues with workers rights. Looking back at those comments, he was on to something but the conclusions still missed a few factors.
interesting.
This is disgusting
We wuz vikings and shiiieett
latest BPS video is really weak, he seems slow at times, makes a onedimensional argument and shills for raid shadow legends
I didn’t watch it yet
But that seems to be his issue at times where the videos are sometimes longer than his necessary arguments and gets repetitive
its not like he couldnt expand it with valuable arguments and facts, I could have
maybe he has some personal issues rn
I find that this is an issue for a number of youtubers that have to upload videos on a regular basis like once or twice a week and they have a more narrow set of content they kinda run out of stuff to talk about or they get repetitive
i think he just wanted to get it over with
BPS has bad takes, same with Way of the world, and their monotone voices and narrow, unchanging perspective really gets on my nerves
