WhatifAltHist / Rudyard Lynch - History youtuber, galaxy brained, no credentials and no sex

Hot-take, but I think his conspicuous gut might be more of a result of horrible posture than fat. If you look at how the back of his blazer hangs, you can tell the small of his back is bending inwards and pushing his abdomen out. Also, his shoulders and neck are pushed forward which tells me he has what is called a "sway back posture":

This is very common and arises from a largely sedentary lifestyle. Rudy has a "job" where he sits all the time so he's a prime candidate for developing a sway back. Obesity is often co-morbid with developing a sway back posture, so the "lol fat" posters may still be correct.
 
He's only 22 though.. Where does he go from here? I really hope he tells us about the reptilians before he troons out. I'm glad that he seems to be past that phase a year ago where he was continually sniffing his own farts with other """intellectuals"""".
What? He won't troon out okay. You are wrong.

Is there a general thread for right-leaning youtube wannabe historians and sociologists? We really should have one. What should we call them? the anti-breadtube?

Rudyard is easily the most credible one because at least he puts research towards his videos, even if he has lots of bad pisstakes. Some of these video essayers churn out /pol/-tier unhinged crap with no sources and still get 100k+ views. On top of my mind there's Pax Tube and Leather Apron Club

The fact this kid who holds the views of an early 2000s Democrat is considered right leaning is all I need to know. The west has fallen, quatrillions must die.

Leather Apron Club? Not sourced? His video on Roman homosexuality had an entire spreadsheet of sources linked under the video.
 
Shit like this is exactly why Rudy has a thread here. It's so fucking annoying.

I still watch his videos, but the egotism has really started reading off the charts over the last year or so. He still has interesting things to say I guess, but the way he talks smacks of false humility. He tattles on himself when he implies his content is worthy of a "Tao of Rudyard", as if his content isn't a regurgitation of the work of better men with a zoomerdoomer twist.

I used to watch his videos often but it feels like at some point before this thread was made he started spending way too much time on Twitter and that started seeping into his videos

i thought LAC's video on ancient greece and homosexuality was stupid. the idea of the ancient mediterranean being a gay paradise has never been a serious position for anybody who isnt an art historian. overwhelmingly our evidences suggest that ancient greece was generally legally hard on homosexual activity, and most cultural depictions of same-sex activity portrays the behavior negatively

however

employing leather apron club's own ancient sources, from the writings of plato to the comedies of aristophanes, the frequency at which these and writings from a similar age mention and stereotype pederasty and boy fucking suggests that it wasnt an uncommon practice among the greek elite. this is consistent with ritual sodomy practiced anatolia and the levant around the same time but you can consult the bible for more on that.

the way i view it, whether we like it or not, ancient history locomoted on the shoulders of the elite; those few that could afford to be important and era defining, and some of them were probably sexually appalling.

leather apron club is towing his line because the greeks are the cornerstone of the WEST, and the west is GOOD, so the greeks cant be DEGERNERATE because thats BAD. online conservative brainrot
