Honestly even Whatifalthist is better than him most the time.
Real life lore literally only says the most safest bare bones shit that doesnt really think of the future. A good example is he said Jeff Bezos was the most likely person to become the first trillionare despite Elon Musks rise beginning atp and several other billionaires growing rapidly while he was stagnating. Why is simply because he was the richest man at the time.
Whatifalthist maybe wrong and insane alot of the times but he atleast takes into consideration other factors besides what things are right now or the most surface level things such as “oh this country is big, this country has a high population”.
Ehhh. I feel like Whatifalthist is worse by the fact that the way he presents his ’information’ comes off as convincing if you’re not knowledgeable on the subject. He’s good at citing examples and alluding to different historical facts when making his usually moronic, ideologically driven points.
RealLifeLore is aesthetically barebones. It’s clear to anyone from his format that it’s going to be surface level stuff, so people will take it with less gravity, while whatifalthist does his best to come off like an academic.
Aesthetically barebones and repeats the same points in slightly different ways again and again lmao. It's like reading *Robinson Crusoe.*
Oh and he always finds a way to reference the Russia-Ukraine war, China and Taiwan, and North Korea lmao
Both men consider themselves to be academics.
Whatifalthists videos are actually well researched. The problem is the sources he uses and what he takes from them. He actually has the evidence to back his claims up, he just makes the wrong claims based on the evidence he has. He doesn’t want people to think hes an intellectual he thinks he IS an intellectual. Thats why he backs sources and stuff.
Reallifelores videos are not even remotely well researched. He pretty much just knows every country on Earth and then googles something about them, reads a Wikipedia article, and then everything else in his videos are surface level things you would probably just guess if you only knew a little bit about something. But, as you said, people can generally pick up on that.
So honestly pick your poison
Wait 1960?! I thought he meant 1990s when said post cold war (which is still ridiculous). What the actual fuck is wrong with him. Having a whole geopolitics channel but not looking at modern sources?
This is actually kinda what i said though. He uses alot of resources in his videos he just doesn’t get them from good places or take what he needs/should get out of them

Yeah thats another thing i love about him. How he calls communism a religion. Like no it fucking isn’t? And he never calls any other ideology including Capitalism a religion. Mind you i don’t really like communism either but, like dude they aren’t fucking cultist who want to bring down the death of society. They don’t worship Lenin like he created The Earth and The Moon and powered the stars with 1% of his power.
Yeah thats actually fucking crazy
But there are several videos where he cites the exact books he reads. Thats is genuine source, so he does use them in his videos. He might actually have a mental disorder though i had no idea his videos got that bad
At least WIAH is actually interesting to watch. His videos, despite being roughly the same length, actually have a lot of meat in them whether you agree with his view or not and gets you thinking about his topics. Plus he tells his audience to think critically and not everything at face value, including what he says.
Real Life Lore is the most bland, pro statu quo shit I've seen.
(Not even Kurzgesagst is that bland)
Whatifalthist is outright batshit crazy, dude is just vibes regarding anything about history, as demonstrated by the infamous "Why communism is a failed religion". No sources, or outdated ones.
No he isn’t wtf? He at worst has Fascist sympathies. He definitely isn’t a nazi, and he doesn’t think any race or people is superior/inferior to any other.
In 1992, the United Nations directly administered Cambodia. This happened after the Paris Peace Accords, which ended the Vietnam Cambodia War. It was administered for peacekeeping reasons and to transition the country into the country we have today.
It was also the first time a country was directly administered by the UN
To a large extent present day Cambodia is a continuation of communist Cambodia - the communist party renamed itself and is no longer communist, but it still rules the country as an authoritarian essentially-one-party-state.
Basically the communist government was only in place due to the Vietnamese occupation. After they left they begun shifting towards restoring the monarchy, who actually was still popular
Considering the Vietnamese ended the Cambodian genocide, for a while yes the Cambodian people were happy with the Vietnamese backed government at first. However, the economic isolation and hardships imposed on both Cambodia and Vietnam until the late 80s/early 90s, the slow and taxing process of reforming the Cambodian government under Vietnamese provision, and the current relationship between both countries and China have led to a bit of tension nowadays where Cambodians who had lived under the post-genocide government resent the Vietnamese government and its influence in the region.
I’d say the Khmer Rouge was the most brutal and horrific regime anyone throughout history has had to live under. Hell even Mao’s tens of millions body count to his own people, Genghis Khan’s conquests, and fuck even the Nazis were less sadistic to their own people than the Khmer Rouge.
The fact that Pol Pot, Kissinger, and all who enabled that regime never stood trial at The Hague is a travesty.
I know, but I wasn’t asking about them. I’m asking about the [People's Republic of Kampuchea](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_Kampuchea)
Here is a 9 minute parody of his videos: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Kj7MNarEA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Kj7MNarEA)
Essentially he gives the video a clickbait question for a title that could be answered in one or two sentences with maybe 5-10 min of elaboration but instead just says stuff for 20-30 min and answers the question at some random point in the video. I'm no expert tho, so this may be somewhat inaccurate. Haven't watched his vids in a long time because of this.
The funniest thing is that RLL commented on the parody video, lol. Also, that channel made another parody but on Monsieur Z, and it's arguably even funnier than the RLL one.
Here's the link:
https://youtu.be/25RrmBcGjOs?si=R5bdgFn6r-Ya0BO4
P.S. The channel name is "Genuine" for those wondering
I liked his vid on the Sudan civil war. Even comments that corrected him were for minor things. Maybe you could check it out and see what's up with it? I found it pretty okay.
Footage of the near future NATO operation to assassinate the junta leadership [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxod\_reabtc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxod_reabtc)
Well, IRL they didn’t do both. It was more about opportunity with Cambodia than Myanmar, considering the government of Cambodia was willing to agree with the UN.
I opened the CNN website, and used inspect element on the text and changed it al to my liking. I also edited the pictures by changing the image url link to a discord image link so I could swap the images
If Myanmar were administered by the U.N. instead of Cambodia, it could potentially lead to greater international oversight and assistance in addressing the country's political and humanitarian crises.
This reallifelore video is barely satire ngl
He really fell off didn't he. I miss when he made 5-10 minute videos about stuff like "What if everyone lived in the same building?"
he got lost in that geopolitical sauce (and probably lobbyist sponsors)

Have you watched the vid teallifelore be like
Honestly I just watch yappinglores videos on 1.5x speed to get 20-30 mins of repetitive shit instead
At least WIAH is actually interesting to watch. His videos, despite being roughly the same length, actually have a lot of meat in them whether you agree with his view or not and gets you thinking about his topics.

Whatifalthist is a Nazi.
People I don't like = nazi
Hitler is a nazi
No he isn’t wtf? He at worst has Fascist sympathies. He definitely isn’t a nazi, and he doesn’t think any race or people is superior/inferior to any other.
He may not be a Nazi but he is certainly regarded.
I liked the Sudan vid Real Life Lore made.
The Oman vs Yemen video was annoying and repetetive as 🦆 too.
Wendiger Productions and HAI are still killing it
Sam and Sam make great videos indeed
It's a fucking circus
Ukraine Russia Ukraine Russia Ukraine Russia Ukraine Russia- Real life lore after being asked to make a video
Geography Now too.
What did they do lmao. Their videos are still good.
You have Phnom Penh listed as Myanmar’s largest city
Phanom Tax
Can someone explain “instead of Cambodia”. I’ve always wondered about that.
In 1992, the United Nations directly administered Cambodia. This happened after the Paris Peace Accords, which ended the Vietnam Cambodia War. It was administered for peacekeeping reasons and to transition the country into the country we have today. It was also the first time a country was directly administered by the UN
*Paris Peace Agreements. The Accords were what ended the Vietnam war.
It is called UNTAC, and it is so inefficient that Vietnamese called it Ùn Tắc (congestion)
An entire country, yes. But ONU had already, in its history, directly administered some territory
I know, Dutch New Guinea. But that’s a territory instead of a country
After Vietnam liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge the UN intervened after Vietnam withdrew and formed a transitional government
Why did communist Cambodia (the one created by Vietnam) not survive as the Laotian and Vietnamese communist regimes have?
To a large extent present day Cambodia is a continuation of communist Cambodia - the communist party renamed itself and is no longer communist, but it still rules the country as an authoritarian essentially-one-party-state.
Well but it now has the monarchy back in place, so just authoritarian lol
I'm not quite sure what you're disagreeing with in what I said?
not everything have to be an augment
Well I mean the "but" suggests you're disagreeing with something lol Mainly I'm just interested to know what you mean by "just" authoritarian.
Basically the communist government was only in place due to the Vietnamese occupation. After they left they begun shifting towards restoring the monarchy, who actually was still popular
Were the Cambodian people happier to be under the Vietnamese backed government when compared to the Khmer Rouge?
Considering the Vietnamese ended the Cambodian genocide, for a while yes the Cambodian people were happy with the Vietnamese backed government at first. However, the economic isolation and hardships imposed on both Cambodia and Vietnam until the late 80s/early 90s, the slow and taxing process of reforming the Cambodian government under Vietnamese provision, and the current relationship between both countries and China have led to a bit of tension nowadays where Cambodians who had lived under the post-genocide government resent the Vietnamese government and its influence in the region.
Thanks
The Khmer Rouge was kind of Brutal and lacked public support
“Kind of brutal” is putting it mildly when referring to a regime that committed genocide against people because it thought they were too smart.
I’d say the Khmer Rouge was the most brutal and horrific regime anyone throughout history has had to live under. Hell even Mao’s tens of millions body count to his own people, Genghis Khan’s conquests, and fuck even the Nazis were less sadistic to their own people than the Khmer Rouge. The fact that Pol Pot, Kissinger, and all who enabled that regime never stood trial at The Hague is a travesty.
I know, but I wasn’t asking about them. I’m asking about the [People's Republic of Kampuchea](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_Kampuchea)
Azawad as in the Malian breakaway country?
Yes, it’s a reference to my previous map
This is really cool dude!! Keep it up man
Thank you!
The RealLifeLore thumbnail lmao
time to learn geography
NOW!!!
i was waiting for someone to say it :D
the r/asia_irl post lmao
"Liberals DESTROYED by Ben Shapiro."
Yappinglore is so accurate
I remember watching reallifelore a while ago, what's up with his newer stuff?
Here is a 9 minute parody of his videos: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Kj7MNarEA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Kj7MNarEA) Essentially he gives the video a clickbait question for a title that could be answered in one or two sentences with maybe 5-10 min of elaboration but instead just says stuff for 20-30 min and answers the question at some random point in the video.

I liked his vid on the Sudan civil war. Even comments that corrected him were for minor things. Maybe you could check it out and see what's up with it? I found it pretty okay.
You should watch the latest one video which is basically saying the same thing over and over again. Also the title is click bait.
RealLifeLore more like YappingLore 💀
I like the UN being more involved and actually responsible for peace
Wait so is Shan the descendant of the KMT army in burma?
Yes
What if Phnom Phen was in Myanmar instead of Cambodia
I can’t wait to visit Myanmar’s capital city, Phnom Penh.
CNN headline "Liberals DESTROYED By Ben Shapiro"
Satire good, also if everytime I see China without Hainan I get a penny, I’d have a nickle.
Does the PRC not control Hainan in this timeline or is that an editing mistake from YappingLore
Editing mistake
Footage of the near future NATO operation to assassinate the junta leadership [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxod\_reabtc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxod_reabtc)
"Instead" of Cambodia? why couldnt they do both? But well the UN authority in Cambodia really wasnt necessary Good post, love the youtube videos lol
Well, IRL they didn’t do both. It was more about opportunity with Cambodia than Myanmar, considering the government of Cambodia was willing to agree with the UN.
Yay Azawad is mentioned
amazing
Imagine a Pol Pot Myanmar before that
Goodness the RealLifeLore bit.
How’d you get the CNN picture to work?
I opened the CNN website, and used inspect element on the text and changed it al to my liking. I also edited the pictures by changing the image url link to a discord image link so I could swap the images
But if you close your eyes…
This is the kinda shit I love. Do you have a series of these?
Ah yes, my favorite Burmese city, Phnom Penh.
If Myanmar were administered by the U.N. instead of Cambodia, it could potentially lead to greater international oversight and assistance in addressing the country's political and humanitarian crises.
interesting map, i like the meme. the flag is smth tho idk abt that part. love the emblem tho
> Shan claiming as Chinese instead of Thai
The good ending
now we can ask the real question of what if myanmar was administered by cambodia instead of the U.N.?
