I agree that there's a ton of parallels between now and the period just before WWI (e.g. I've only recently realized how much a tangled web of alliances the Middle East / North East Africa is).
But of all the parallels that could exist, I really think the "men aren't manly enough" attitude we see today / saw them is not a good indicator of us heading towards the next world war. And even if you think it's a good one, I also think there are just way better indicators, to the point that recruiting propaganda trends aren't going to be a major contributor.
I should have mentioned that this is the start of him doing videos on what he sees as WWI parallels so I'd recommend checking out the other videos he has dropped and likely will drop in future.
Anywhere to get these besides TikTok?
Doesn't seem as though currently but it appears as though he's considering branching out into podcasting and that usually comes with a person developing an online presence that is platform-agnostic, so fingers crossed he'll start doing that to make his thoughts more accessible to a wider audience.
