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.

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.

The worst kind of psyop that (western) societies have done is to convince boys that their only value as a human being is to have sex just for the sake of it. They're never taught about love, companionship, or emotional development. Sex is seen as an objective, achivement, or even status symbol.
They torture themselves over shit they never wanted or needed. All I feel is pity.
I am convinced that most young men have been groomed and still don't know it. You had sex pushed onto you when your balls were yet to drop, creepy adults pushed you into stop treating your female friends in school as friends, but as something you were supposed to "get". You were groomed.

Add FOMO culture to that mix as well. I seriously doubt zoomers have as much sex as they're bombarded with both because of lying due to FOMO culture and more importantly, how fucked society is with all the shit about consent and stuff. I don't mean noncensual sex, I mean shit where it's like 'actually I didn't consent but felt pressured to for no reason and I actually regret it'.

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.

I should have clarified that Belgium's colonial rule was "very benevolent" in comparison to the other colonial powers like Britain and France along with the obvious previous Leopold II administration. As I've read the New Belgian Congo over the decades had a more direct and consolidated effort into modernizing the place into a "Model Colony" in areas that were beyond just profitable industries. Their education and healthcare were far above the other African colonies with stuff like local languages actually being taught in school which was unheard of and almost the entire population, both European and Congolese, receiving mandatory polio, measles, and yellow fever vaccines. They also had one of the highest literacy rates in all of Africa by the 1950s. Heavy apartheid though as common with all colonies of that era.

The aim of European colonial empires 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.

The thing is that all of the selfish reasons you've listed as to why the Europeans built roads, hospitals, schools, etc in the colonies are also the exact same reasons as to why they built those things in their own countries. It was all for the purpose of personal gain for the government and the other upper echelons of their society. The woes of industrialization uprooting traditional ways of life happened or were happening to the nations doing the colonizing even before the scramble for Africa began. Civilization is made up of people doing selfish things that sometimes benefit the average person during the process as a side effect. This has, never not, been the reality of the world it's just that our more post-modern sensibilities have made it such a hard fact to swallow. People who can't accept that history is inherently cruel then try to pin a certain aspect present during a complex event as being the ultimate lynchpin as to why such and such happened while ignoring the ten different things that also contributed, often with contradictory implications when studied.

"If it wasn't for the unique racism and inhumanity of the white Victorian Europeans, then Africa would be a utopia today," they say ignoring any genuine good that may have inadvertently happened because it conflicts with established preconceptions.

I understand where you're coming from it's just that so many other people have used similar rationalizations to completely deny that the places where such infrastructure was built, are at the very least better off in some regards, rather than the alternate reality where they had never been constructed in the first place. A hospital is still a hospital no matter who built it for whatever reason. The funny thing is if we really thought about another timeline where Africa was left alone then today we would have articles talking about how the neglectful Europeans left the undeveloped tribals to rot away from malaria or why nothing was done to stop Tribe A from killing Tribe B during X year. It's a real damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. The culture shock was gonna happen eventually. It could have gone a lot better, but it also could have gone a lot worse too.

One could argue they were too benevolent. There is some pretty strong evidence that a Smallpox vaccine drive in Leopoldville was what caused SIV to become HIV.

The British Empire actually lost Britain money and enriched a small clique at the top.

If anything, it was the expansion of democracy in the 20th century that lead to the end of the Empire. The bankruptcy was not what killed it.

Hell, Portugal was in financial ruin and happily conscripted half its population to fight a 30 year decolonization war. Britain could have done the same.

I wonder if it ever occurred to him that ignoring people that disagree with you is a better option than blocking them. Also they got a point with #4 since the South was punished immensely during Reconstruction.

King Richard I is what he named his cat. He would say, "By royal decree of King Richard I," then hold up his cat for the camera, and continue, "bigots get banned!"

Just a hypothesis but I really feel that the cultural obsession with getting laid and demeaning virgins really took off with the boomers in the hippie generation. Yet another reason why that generation is so cursed.

The discussion on the ethics of colonialism is really interesting (not sarcasm), but all I need to know in regards to the debate on the Belgian Congo is that Hochschild is a small-hat commie propagandist with a blood vendetta against whitey.
