Sorry, had to post a Snowy Owl Man for the sake of my own sanity...

Who does Rudyard THINK is going to replace the Boomers when they run out of money?

You could argue that we're already an empire due to the states using the federal government to crush themselves and each other in the Civil War... idk, just a random thought.

The ACW probably fits Sulla's civil war better, since Lincoln's dictatorial powers ended with the war and presidents didn't gain that kind of power again until nearly a century after. If he got into that he'd reveal how the comparison only works in the broad strokes, the most similar events occur in a different order due to the differences he points out (geography, culture, the industrial revolution and its consequences, &c.) . Rome starting out as a single city state rather than as an alliance of culturally distinct settler groups also makes the ACW quite inconvenient for this kind of comparison unless you just go full materialist and claim that the ACW was a class war which Rudyard is against.

Speaking of broadstrokes comparisons, between statements like this and him being named after Kipling, is Rudyard the male version of Soph? The kind of person who might have been a breadtube faggot due to his age and cultural background but got pushed to the right by his parents, giving him that same combination of zoomer inexperience and strong opinions typically held by much older people. Soph did commentary on society and other content creators, and Rudyard does speculative history and broad-sweeping theories, both of which are stereotypical for "intellectual" girls and boys during their coming of age respectively. Both got edgier as their content progressed, and when this had given them notoriety they then had debates against the lefty debate bro of the day- Destiny vs. Soph and Vaush vs. WIAH. As far as I know nobody is writing hit pieces on Rudy, but that's probably because lefty journos aren't scared of Youtubers anymore.

They never do these comparisons to actually dissect whether America is similar to Rome in certain aspects, because the answer would be that for every similarity there's ten dissimilarities, it's just doomer "America is going to fail any day now" bullshit that has been around for a hundred years or so.

Changed now, but when I was notified of this video the title was 'How Proto-Ukrainians defended against the Mongols'.

Considering that Kiev was fucking destroyed I don't think they did well. KnG is becoming very disappointing since they've started hohol sperging.

That initial title reminds me of this gem that got spammed on reddit around 2016-17

Its kinda funny how this guys videos on cultural and ethnic history always happen to put his group on top. His Germanic stock just happen to have the best family structures for creating ultra-successful hustlers like him.

Knowing Better has made videos in the past defending Columbus, stating that the US was right to intern Japanese in WWII and that the Keystone pipeline was a good idea.

He got relentlessly harrassed by tankies online, with several going full Alog. I used to watch some of his livestreams and it seemed to really affect him.

He used to be a genuinely original thinker, now he's just doing what Kraut does, reading one volume popular history books and making hour long videos about them.

Really is a terrible analogy. Plumbers have actual skills and knowledge of their work; Teachers are people who failed to get a real job and fell back on professional babysitting to pay their rent. This is especially true of elementary school teachers, who are the people parents are most concerned with being sex pests since they have the youngest students.

Have been enjoying "Premodernist", he claims to be a PhD in medieval Middle Eastern history and spent a decade teaching college courses in world history. I like his channel because he has low production values (mostly him talking to a camera/static images) but high quality historical content. There are not many videos, he does not appear to be a historytuber but an actual academic using YouTube as a platform.

Some of his videos I have watched:
The election of George Washington was weirder than you think

Were the Ottomans a Roman dynasty?

The Alaska Purchase – debunking a myth
