Assassin's Creed: Valhalla (We REALLY don't like British Nationalism)

Description:

Well…Ubisoft never ceases to impress with its wokeness. This time they curated the 9th century Viking invasion of Britain to suit their 21st century social agenda, which for some reason, includes a real hatred for British Nationalism and sovereignty. I’m not interested in delving into the inaccuracies of weapons and armor etc. If you want that, go elsewhere. This video is almost exclusively about their distortion of historical narratives.

This was a lot of work. I had to make >3TBs of proxy video in Premiere. While this wasn’t over 100 hours worth of research, this still took a lot of time to make. First, I had to play this stupid game, which was about 40-50 hours. Then I had to scrub through the footage, and write the script. Maybe another 40-50 hours. I really don’t know. Lost track. Please consider donating, if you want these sorts of videos to continue being made. I currently need to buy a new graphics card and a very large SSD.
