Nationalism Video
🕑 Added 2023-08-15 16:57:26 +0000 UTCHey everyone, going by the timeline I gave on my last update I should have probably uploaded something by now, so I wanted to fill you all in.
I finished setting up the new studio and spent about 10 days reading/preparing for the nationalism vs patriotism video towards the end of July. As I worked on it, I lost conviction that the 'nationalism vs patriotism' concept was the right course of action for me, and became increasingly convinced that I should ditch the patriotism angle and make a longer 'in-depth explanation' video for nationalism instead. Similar to what I did for socialism and fascism (and democracy, though I titled/structured that one a little differently).
So that means the video is going to be two or three times longer than what I initially planned, and significantly more ambitious in scope and depth. Given that, I decided to add about two more weeks of research into the pipeline to flesh out some aspects of the piece. That's all done now and I've begun recording (as of yesterday). I'm feeling good and am really gunning to have this thing done by the end of August, but as always I won't release it until I think it's ready.
Thanks again for your support, and I hope my work is worth it. Looking forward, the research for the 'origins of WWII' piece is still done, so I'll do a Patron's vid in between, but besides that I can go straight into production for the WWII piece once the nationalism piece is done.

Can you make a video about Islamism and other political movements across the Arab world?

Thanks for the update! Good luck and hope you’re well

I'm trying to get it done by the 29th. If not, then I'm going to have to leave town for a couple days and it will probably be out by the 2nd or 3rd.

Hey Ryan! Can we get an update on the ETA of your next video?
Bonnie Speck
Still waiting.

Hey Ryan, I just joined and from what I have seen so far, your work is invaluable. Take your time and just know, many many folks will be amicable to your next release.

I would rather have a good video than a perfect video that i never get to see.
Ryan Chapman
I'm sorry to hear that. I completely understand, and please take care of yourself.

Ryan i lost my job and am cancelling anything other than rent and utilities. Nothing personal, all the best.

Ryan, I used to teach a a university and I had a similar workflow to you. I really know and fully understand how much time it takes. And I know how you have to make decisions to change direction sometimes. That is great that you are willing to do so, too.

Ryan, thank you for being the presence in political discourse that I've been seeking for 10+ years. Why are you seemingly the only one? More of us need to follow suit - put our necks out there simply to inform, with as little bias and/or deceit as possible.

Thank you for the transparency. I rate your content in the league of the "Then and Now" channel, so I anticipate there being long intervals between videos, and when I see the quality of your work, I know you have been working hard at it. I look forward to the next video.

Thanks for the update; actually, I'm quite looking forward to this video for a number of reasons. One being my roommate is from Ireland, and having grown up in the 70',s in Dublin he has some pretty strong feelings on nationalism. I think I got a little confused about the whole concept, being from Canada where the US looms so large. I always glean a great deal of new understanding of the specifics of the subject. I would have loved the patriotism/nationalism version, but it doesn't matter! I'm sure it will be meticulously researched and expounded, without any trace of being boring or uninteresting. Appreciate the work you do on these for everybody.

Appreciate the update. For me, totally understand that high quality content takes time and reassessment along the research line. Even if you would procrastinate from time to time, as long as good videos are produced it's all good to me 🙂 Happy to be one of your patreon

I appreciate your instinct on the way the material was going. Even if your judgment is wrong (unlikely), taking a few more weeks is still making pretty good time, considering the changes you'd like to make. I think you'll know when it's ready.

No wine before it's time.

Appreciated Ryan. I for one appreciate the quality of your content versus any perception of quantity.

I’m looking forward to it! You do such good work, so please take the time you need.

When Radiohead has something worth sharing, that’s when we’ll get a new album. I don’t imagine your process is a simple one, and that’s why it’s good. Thanks for the update, I’ll check it out when it’s ready. Glad you listened to yourself and changed course on the video.
