This can't be serious, it's too insane to be serious.
You missed the dumbest fucking thing, he asserts(because thats all he does in this video, asserts and quotes other peoples assertions) is that all meat eating kids undergo this horrific realization that theyre eating meat and their beloved family pet is made of meat so that means the family is going to eat the doggo right? Its truly insane levels of reasoning and logic then he ties in meat eating to being a serial killer; the video is a fucking trip.
 
If I remember right Rudy's point was Christianity flourished only with the influx of warrior blood from the Nordic countries. I dunno. It's a mishmash of fringe theories from all over the place. Some of them I at least recognize, they're dumb, but I've seen them before. The Eucharist as LSD is a new one to me though.
I think that theory came from a book called The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross by John Allegro, that came out in the 70s. His story is actually an interesting one and it inspired some of Philip K Dick's writing. Here's an interesting Xitter thread on him.

Interesting. I also found a guy named Brian Muraresku who seems to be the new voice of the theory. Even had a Rogan interview. Seems like the same thing given just a bit of a coat of Current Year based on this article. It's the usual mix of History of Religions theory, Air Bud levels of 'nothing says it's impossible', and starting with a conclusion. Starts with the odd assessment that Christians deny a connection between Judaism and Christianity which.. okay. That might just be poorly worded. According to him it's stolen from the Greeks though. Eleusinian Mysteries specifically. Mystery Cults have to have the highest retard to knowledgeable take ratio, I swear.

I guess then the Church shut it down because they hated women and their folk wisdom. He brings up the witch burnings as a way to kill of European folk healers. I'll drop this fun link to who keep that idea going.

It's basically just this Simpsons episode in a nutshell.

Which is probably because they have the lowest ratio of knowledge about the subject to people opining about the subject. We frankly don't know much about any Mystery Cult we have rumors written by outsiders and archeology and thats about it.
 
This video is pretty absurd, in it he uses cannibalism as an allegory to criticize capitalism as this man-thresher that runs on human blood, which is stupid but whatever. Less absurdly, he compares cannibalism to the factory farm industry in support of veganism. It warrants mentioning that he compares meat eating to being a serial killer and right winger. So basically, if you eat meat, not only do you have at least the potential to habitually kill people but also that propensity to atrocity is tied to the way you vote.

Where it goes completely insane is when he uses cannibalism as an allegory for homosexuality, but instead of the cannibalism allegory being used to condemn it, he uses it in support of gay sex.

It's so weird how cannibalism is useful as a framing device for monstrosity against the things he doesn't like until it can be angled to support the LGBT, somehow. Not to mention the comparisons he makes with the examples given are agonizingly tortured and come off as incredibly weak in context when paired with the clips he shows. This is Kyle Kallgren levels of reaching. For example, the protagonist hides among a bunch of dead bodies to avoid getting killed in a battle, blood from the people piled on top of him drains into his mouth and the blood gives him the energy he needs to pull himself out of the pile, this is somehow an allegory for a gay orgy. The rest goes into disturbingly rapey descriptions of one guy shoving his hand down another guy's pants & the other guy fleeing from the sexual assault because of his internalized heteronormative upbringing. This is set to a clip of a cannibal with blood on his mouth trying to get closer to his next victim and the other guy jumping off a cliff to avoid being murdered and his corpse eaten.

Like, nigga, what?

Does he really not realize the message it sends to compare corpse-eating to gay sex? I don't think you could hurt your case any harder if you said "Hitler was lowkey gay btw."

Also, isn't it funny how everything a leftist talks about always boils down to:

>Capitalism bad and/or Socialism/Communism/Marxism good
>Veganism good / meat is murder
>Gay sexual assault buttsex is good


This guy could twist any exchange or innocuous action involving a man into gay homo sex. He does the same thing with Interview with the Vampire. So you're telling me that an accurate representation of a gay relationship is a dysfunctional, violent, spiteful and obsessive grudge between two parasites constantly at odds?

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, he describes any sexually violent or unacceptable behavior as being distinctly heterosexual. After comparing gay sex to eating human flesh, which is good until it becomes about the heterosexual patriarchy. He even cites a quote "meat is a symbol of male dominance" followed by calling meat consumption a facet of toxic masculinity.

So women don't eat meat, only men?

These people do realize that there exist nutritional reasons to eat meat, right? Food allergies to vegetables like cauliflower exist, and meat contains unique proteins that people must have to be healthy.

Furthermore, why are they operating under the assumption that all behaviors between sexes or sexual preferences are mutually exclusive? Shoving your hand down another person's pants is only sexual assault when it's the opposite sex, men eating meat means women can't, ect. He then compares eating meat to Fascism.

Is this all supposed to be tongue and cheek satire or does he really believe such insanity?

"Rape, too, is an implemental violence in which the penis is the implement of violation. You are held down by a male body as the fork holds a piece of meat so that the knife may cut into it."

This can't be serious, it's too insane to be serious.
How long y'all think until Atun-Shei gets his own thread?

If he keeps going as he has been with these ridiculous ramblings, but I don't see that happening. He's too slow to maintain interest for long, and he doesn't say outright lolcowish things often enough either. It's looking like his next video is going to be on the Trail of Tears or some other Native genocide event, which will be undoubtedly less bizarre and more grounded in reality.

Honestly, I don't see Atun-Shei getting a thread unless he becomes a full-on Xitter sperg.

I keep telling people: a thread needs content. If an individual is heading towards lolcow status but doesn't produce enough milk to sustain a thread by themselves, sticking them to a megathread/community thread like this one until they mature enough to earn their own thread works fine. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of dead threads with well-researched OPs... and nobody posting on them because there's no new content and a-log circlejerking gets old quickly. Case in point: Fredrik Knudsen's thread. The guy is about as entertaining as watching paint dry, and once the thread left the featured section and all the "lol furfag" and "lol vtuber" tourists moved on it essentially died because there's fuck-all new happening with the guy.

So yeah, Atun-Shei is lulzy and pretentious, but unless someone was truly dedicated to combing through his videos and socials for insane takes to feed a thread, I don't see it happening.
 
Apparently Rudy got his own Kiwifarms thread now.
Given Cynical Historian, Atun-Shei, and probably many more who (I think) deserve threads, Rudy getting one wasn't out of the question. Rudy "dweeby right-wing cringe know-it-all" stands out from just another crazy leftist YouTuber who wants to sacrifice kids at the woke altar (which is all of them).

In the land of crazy, the sorta-sane man is insane...

Holy shit I hate Twitter. What an annoying way to say “heh, the guy who wrote this book worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls, which was found near where this crazy Anglican priest later on died. The priest also officiated Phillip K. Dicks wedding.” Nothing coherent or particularly interesting. And stopping every tweet to pick up.

Nothing coherent, right? But stopping every tweet and picking back up later as a recap.

Having to stop every single tweet to pick it back as a recap gets really fucking grating.

Turkey had a tradition of military forces staging coups whenever a president starting becoming too Ottoman, and it certainly seemed to be a central component of preserving Kemalism. The failure of the coup against Erdogan means that Kemalism is functionally dead.
Apparently, the EU demands basically created present-day Turkey because the demands for EU integration basically included making sure the military has no constitutional clause to protect Kemalism.

Got to love the West's idiocy, not even shocked Erdogan went along with it happily.
 
He hasn't been brought up in a while, and I don't remember reading about this, but didn't Potential History have a white trash girlfriend who started appearing in his videos? I wonder if that's still a thing lol.
Here's a picture. I remember her being fatter though.
Lol.png
 
Did a tiny bit more digging (scrubbing through his videos). Pulled this image:

I definitely do remember her being fatter, maybe it was just the angle. Also her voice is extremely grating to me for some reason and this scene makes me cringe.
