1:10 what is up with the South Korean flag?!?

[KasrkinSaser]

It's a joke on how many South Koreans love the game StarCraft, and the weird thing in the flag is the logo of one of the alien races in the game.

2:46 :D

Usually these videos inform in a manner that leaves no room for doubt. But this one is essentially based on an appeal to authority - secession is impossible because the government forbids it. By that logic, what right does the US have to even exist? Surely Britain didn't legally rule in favor of its colonies' independence. One can argue that it's unrealistic for a state to secede, but that doesn't render invalid a people's desire to leave a hopelessly corrupt and out of control federal union.

it's a Zerg symbol from Starcraft.. clearly CGPGrey loves his Starcraft, or atleast knows that Starcraft is huge in South Korea :)

Haha! Grey is flawed! At 3:18 it says "Texas Who Want Independence" not "Texans Who Want Independence" but anyway good video. DFTBA

Am I honestly the only one who saw the creeper in this video?

Canada? Really? Who cares?

They can secede if it's another civil war. That's why there's still a West Virginia. The western part of Virginia voted to secede and join the Union. The fact that the Union won is the reason Virginia is not back together.

le sigh....

Why didn't I see this BEFORE leaving Texas? It would have been nice to have a simple and concise way to say "you are wrong. very wrong. and here is why..." to deal with all the people who seriously discussed it with me.

It's the insignia for Zerg, a race in Starcraft, Korea's national sport.
