Interesting you can't embed YouTube live streams.

To me he looks to be from the same dreary tribe as PaxTube and ZommerHistorian.Thoughts, gentlemen?
Schools teach children to be obedient and listen to authority figures unquestioningly, not to think for themselves. So of course if they hear an alternative worldview form a seemingly authoritative figure, they're going to accept it, even more so in their teenage years when they have a desire to rebel against the authority figures they grew up with.It's not enough to know that some terrible event happened but it must be told in such a black and white manner that there exists little to no chance of nuance or reconsideration. It's easier for schools and mainstream academia to cast the entire era of colonialism under a general blanket of unhinged evil because if the more complicated reality was taught then we would get people potentially developing more critical worldviews that deviate from the expected opinions we're supposed to have.
Now that sounds like excellent and fun way to teaching history. so in that spirit:I'm glad that the history teachers who taught me during my formative years made the effort to constantly point out that there exists more than one version of events and that the common consensus is often too fickle to trust 100% of the time. I remember one time he had an entire class devoted to teaching the Civil War from a purely Union perspective, then the next day from a purely Confederate perspective. Afterward, he asked us what we thought instead of what he thought. Something like that would never happen today sadly.
Calling any sort of colonial rule "benevolent" is definitely very one-sided. I'd say a better way to phrase that is that compared to what came previously, they ruled very benevolently.After the Belgium government took over they did rule very benevolently
He kind of reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Django Unchained in a way.Kind of a weird looking guy though. He should drop the silly ties.
I had always assumed that the relationship and reality of the Congo Free State, Leopold II, and the Belgium government was more analogous to the British East India Company rather than some intentional African holocaust by the Yakubian devil or something.
That's what people forget about colonialism, it was mostly about business and politics in the end. As long as the colonizer's received returns on their investments they could care less of the well-being of the native populations if it doesn't bring any benefit to them.Calling any sort of colonial rule "benevolent" is definitely very one-sided.

The aim of European colonial emoires was always selfish. If not for monetary or material gain, then for presitge, rivalry with other empires or to carry out their self-proclaimed mission of "civilizing".
The Europeans did build roads, modern housing, introduce medicine and raise standards of living, but it wasn't out of charity, but to turn the natives into more efficient workers. And all that came at the cost of uprooting traditional ways of life, -governance, and beliefs, which causes anomie, which in turn leads to radicalization.
I did see Monsieur Z in the comment section of one of his videos, so take that as you will.To me he looks to be from the same dreary tribe as PaxTube and ZommerHistorian.
Honestly I found Bruce Giley's The Case for Colonialism to be fascinating reading.That's what people forget about colonialism, it was mostly about business and politics in the end. As long as the colonizer's received returns on their investments they could care less of the well-being of the native populations if it doesn't bring any benefit to them.
Here is Hochschild's response with Gilley's response underneath it.(archive)King Leopold II is the most overblown villain in human history the entire book is mostly based off a lies and deliberate distortions. So that video is probably fine the rest I'd have to watch but the Cornerstone Speech is a pretty damning speech.
I don't disagree about that, I just think he's a bit too enthusiastic of colonialism and overlooks the negatives of colonialism a bit much.Honestly I found Bruce Giley's The Case for Colonialism to be fascinating reading.
Wut?It's been a while, let's see what's Rudy's new video is.....

TL;DW: Society is currently busted because the guys who get sex don't actually care about the women who clamor after them on Tinder, and because the women don't understand that. If there is a revolution, it will start among these guys who are completely brainrot, or some other rich wanker, and not among the actual sexually-frustrated young men because plebs never succeed at anything. Thus, like a revolution, we will switch from a de-facto polygamous society underpinned by women (if you believe Rudyard's stance) to a de-facto polygamous society underpinned by men. Or it won't happen at all, because testosterone is the new magic Aryan blood that allows for organization towards a productive end and we're approaching Mouse Utopia levels of it.It's been a while, let's see what's Rudy's new video is.....

From this description alone, it sounds like he needs a GF, get sum fuk, and this is a whole load of projection.TL;DW: Society is currently busted because the guys who get sex don't actually care about the women who clamor after them on Tinder, and because the women don't understand that.

Also Rudyard thinks South Korea will lose 96% of its population in 100 years, rather than the generally-accepted statistic of 50%, either because he's disingenuous or because he has forgotten for THIS video in particular that birthrates have stabilized.
Also White Male Genocide (but not White Female Genocide), perpetrated by other White Men and White Women.
Rudyard should stick to tanks.
I mean, he opens the video by flexing his vast income and resources, specifically to shoot down that retort early, and he had a fiancé at the time of his "5 nations that will collapse" video.From this description alone, it sounds like he needs a GF, get sum fuk, and this is a whole load of projection.
Dude if you are flexing, that just means you are projecting. Also how many years ago was that video? I can't imagine this sperg keeping a woman for more than a monthI mean, he opens the video by flexing his vast income and resources, specifically to shoot down that retort early, and he had a fiancé at the time of his "5 nations that will collapse" video.
He even shares a picture of himself that kinda looks like Goebbels.
This is very much true. Women for some reason(or possibly they dont care and find it preferable to being a mere side piece of a "high value man" v being the main woman of a meh man) do not comprehend most men will happily fuck a woman theyd never date in a million years.TL;DW: Society is currently busted because the guys who get sex don't actually care about the women who clamor after them on Tinder, and because the women don't understand that.
I simply cant see it. In the entire history of western civilization going back to the absolute genesis with ancient Greeks polygamy has never been an accepted practice. Any time its occurred, those who practiced have been heavily persecuted. The mormans being a great example.If there is a revolution, it will start among these guys who are completely brainrot, or some other rich wanker, and not among the actual sexually-frustrated young men because plebs never succeed at anything.

Maybe read more. During the entire period of early Christianity most of the records we have are Priests and Monks complaining all the newly Christian westerners would keep multiple wives and concubines. The practice of concubinage didn't even really go away for the really wealthy even to this day.In the entire history of western civilization going back to the absolute genesis with ancient Greeks polygamy has never been an accepted practice.
Is your version of reality some off chute of the American Pie movie? Nobody is fucking nowadays. And those "high value" men have better things to do than fuck a 6/10, the people right now fucking are not your highschool sweetheart and your bully but 3/4's out of 10 fucking other 3/4s.Women for some reason(or possibly they dont care and find it preferable to being a mere side piece of a "high value man" v being the main woman of a meh man) do not comprehend most men will happily fuck a woman theyd never date in a million years.
Wait, he does? xDThere's a reason this man has his own thread.
Ask and ye shall receive.Wait, he does? xD
I wouldn't be shocked to believe he has connections to the manosphere.Dude if you are flexing, that just means you are projecting.
