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

I don't think Nick ever had the potential to do much damage. The world still turns. Rudy, on the other hand, has a far larger, more active audience than Nick has ever had. His ideas arent rooted in a church or established institution, they're rooted in his own autistic interpretation of the books hes read once over. He thinks hes the smartest in the room in any setting, which is a trait of a cult leader.

L. Ron Hubbard had the same kind of middling intelligence and ability to manipulate vulnerable people. He talked out of his ass endlessly about topics he had zero knowledge on. He lived with famed occultist and Aleister Crowley acolyte Jack Parsons. L. Ron saw the kind of shit in his life Rudyard pretends to see and know about, yet he ended up in a nearly identical position. Rudyard is the down syndrome version of a Hubbard, unable to connect with people outside his own audience and bring anyone into his way of thinking that doesn't already suffer from severe alienation/isolation from other people.
So when is Rudy writing his version of Dianetics?

WIAH either doesn't listen to any of his videos/comment section or thinks that been a doormat is the same as being nice, because even seeing a man holding the door for a woman is a rare occurance in the US, and also the language of the tweet literally reads as if it were initially posted on r/incels
But Rudy's not an incel because he drives an Audi according to him.

Spoiler: History
>Finds a book at a local store
>Barely reads any of it
>Declares it's Marxist

Man, it's no wonder Rudy dropped out of college.
 
>Hes an autist
He's definitely an autist in the sense of being neurodivergent. But if you mean clinical autism, no. I believe him when he says hes actually the opposite of autism (excess of mirror neurons), which there isn't really a word for. People just use autism as a blanket term for anyone that isn't a normie.
Now autism may be over stated when it comes to online people, but there's no way you can convince me Rudy isn't on the autism spectrum somewhere. He has way too many strange obsessions, odd views on social norms, out of the ordinary behavior, and almost no self awareness. His step by step guide on how to date women from the incel video is a good example.

His focus on being a historian seems to be largely based around the aesthetic of being a gentleman historian, like a autistic weeb would feel about being a honorable samurai, rather than just being about studying history. That's probably why he thinks the guy who read the most books on a topic will win a debate, because to him books = knowledge and if he read the most books he automatically knows more.

I think this is where all the confusion comes in on Rudy. Some people think his thread is purely a left wing cope, but his politics literally don't matter, hell I'd probably be on his side for a lot of things, his person itself is what's funny. If you laughed at Destiny making an MSPaint graph to explain his divorce then you gotta understand laughing at Rudy's powerpoint presentation on the incel revolution.

He's not a lolcow because he's a right winger, as far as that goes he's not even that radical, he's a lolcow because he has almost no self awareness, an ego the size of a small nation, and has convinced himself he's one of the true intellectuals that will save the west.

This is how I feel as well. Rudy's political ideas are not especially interesting. Most of them are pretty milquetoast. The reason we laugh at him is the way he presents himself and his hard shift into manosphere sperging.
 
He posted this a few hours ago but quickly deleted it. Couldn't find an archived link but I do have this screenshot along with a response by Cody from AltHistHub

I would like to bring attention to the fact that there is an undercurrent of incels and sporadic /r9k/threads promoting "transmaxxing", including a 73-page manifesto "objectively" proving the benefits of grooming, written in beautifully autistic detail, including statistics, graphs, and more, in true schizo fashion.

Considering Rudy has spent the last year getting more and more obsessed with "sexual market value" and other such talking points, it would just be the most hilarious thing ever if he is convinced to "transmaxx" as well, and starts making 50-minute long videos on it from his perspective.
 
I know about RZ, he has always been a presbitarian since he was born, altough he was very secularized when younger. He only became more conservative after going to the midwest
RZ is a convert. He was raised by secular, non-Christians, and converted to Christianity as a teenager in high school. He's said that in multiple videos.

I must have remembered wrong, then, because I would have sweared that he said that his parents were secular, but Christian

Apparently Rudyard has a podcast with some finance bro/grifter named Erik Toren(((berg))).
Screenshot_20240522_112608_X.jpg
Hes seemingly based out of San Francisco and does a lot of finance/manosphere adjacent podcasts, so I wonder what his game is with Rudy/if this partnership will implode because of him sperging out about some niche topic hes hyper-invested in.

He literally said he was ethnic Jewish in a twitter post a couple pages ago. By default he's going to be a convert in 99% of cases.
 
How good is his French? He's mentioned his supposed fluency on occasion.
New video dropped on "the anthropology of Karens". Im only one minute in and its already extremely pretentious.

"Karen" has become a catch-all term used by soyboy and whigger types to attack women who attempt to instill sense into them. You often see the new form of the term on Reddit. Not a term a "public intellectual" who wants to be taken seriously would use.

"KAREN THROWS OUT MY GAME COLLECTION!"
"I was approached by a Karen about my music at the park." Etc.

So, do I make a summary of it or is there a kind soul that's gonna make it for me?

You know what, I already started watching it, will have a summary in around one hour

I will spoiler the summary so it doesn't become a nuisance for the thread
So, we start with the typical bookdumping of mainly guys that were born 100 years ago (strangely, there's a recent book among the ones he listed, that being Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber, which ironically is basically Marx's theory of alienation but applied to a service-based economy), we continue with more cope about leaving the "underlaying principles of history" behind (read: not believing that history is basically part of the Samsara) thanks to the 60s, while also saying that jews are somehow not western.

Now we are into some anti-bureaucrat ramblings regarding civilizational entropy, as the bureacrats will end up destroying civilization because reasons, and how all his authors agreed with that, which means it is true (while saying just a few minutes ago that having all current authors agree with the current paradigm is bad, and we are also building upon his weird geo-theological determinism from his Russia video)

1000004608.jpg

Poor northern pinoys, hopelessly uncivilized

We go on with how a guy in the mid-60s could predict that the hippies were in decline, top level deductive capacity there, more Spengler cocksucking about Caesarism in 21st century Europe, as well as pro-rural cope coming from two guys that lived in urban areas their whole lives.

8:05 *Him admitting that there were points where he wanted to murder someone because they pissed him off*, and saying that's kinda taboo to say that and that society doesn't honor it. And also him coping about there being ages where he would be legally allowed to kill those that insulted him on the spot, and this being the same emotional state that Karens have, and because Karens are allowed to behave like that, while young men aren't, Karens rule society. More word-twisting about how someone saying the word "manager" implies that he's part of a giant megacorp instead of an owner/operator.

Bookshilling, now about him feeling like a guy living in the middle ages due to reading Leviathan and Its Enemies, and trying to extrapolate his mid-wittery about how the world is governed by saying that most people don't know at all
1000004609.jpg

Textwall, and a possible video. And him saying that le based minorities (irish and italians, of course) actually don't want bureacrats because their lives improved to the point they simply dislike bureacrats, and I'm going to grant him this one thing, the current elites are indeed chasing impossible/ever increasing goals to maintain their position, we call that grifting

1000004610.jpg

Can a 1/1024th iroquois kiwi confirm this? If true, based

Now the guy that's never had a relationship and it's one bad day away from posting in an incel forum will talk about how a toxic relationship works, and that a husband stays with a nagging wife becuase he doesn't want to look like an incel, while the wife stays because of the house and that's the best house she can get (better than him saying that she stays because she needs a place where Chad can blow her back all day long, to be honest). And how having an amazing life means that you should just keep your mouth shut about what you dislike, because the upper-middle class women are the most priviliged people *in history*. Now he's YandereDev'ing about how he recieves a metric ton of hate, and saying to them "go to hell" in the most soy-filled voice ever.

Even more marxist alienation about managers -not owning the means of production- not having created the business they manage, and him being surprised that the presidency is not some autocratic position where all of the state will just cave to your demands. Manager Vs Creative talk, about how the evil managers stiffle the freedom from the creatives, and that the managers don't care if the company does well or not because they are salaried, and thus aren't rewarded by making good movies (Bonuses? Long-term job security? Never heard of them), as well as the absolute NEET kvetching about others never being accountable for anything in their lives.

GSR, basically females being fundamentally insecure, and because of that they will try to use every advantage except direct confrontation that they can get to achieve their objectives, unlike men like Rudyard, who ignore all things that could benefit to reach his goals because that's what a true man does

1000004611.jpg

Rudie's true love🥰🥰🥰 (Don't rate this horrifying)

Toxic masculinity is, according to him, talking violently rather than acting violently, that sounds extremely femenine to you due to his description of GSR? Don't think about it, Rudie knows best. More "not all women, not all women" his mom watches his videos and you know it. All women that have a relationship with you (besides mom, of course) are constantly pushing boundaries and shitesting you, and that your girl doesn't like you watching porn due to thinks like wanting to keep your interest on her or being disgusted by it, she just wants to maintain her sexual monopoly on you.

Women are more agreeable, and thus there's no point in which the bureacracy pushes them too far and makes them fight back, literal lookism talking points about how being an attractive woman means that society respects you more and will put up with your shitty behaviour, and karens act that way to cope about being less attractive than in their college days.

"I have nearly died 4 times, and I saw that people nowadays are so materialistic and focused on sex, and all things that exist outside of that are taboo or hopelessly pretentious" "I drive an Audi and make tens of thousends on Youtube, why don't women want me?"-Schrodingers Rudyard

32:51 "Society is importing immigrants with the express purpouse of replacing the native population", and Karens are to blame because they don't politisperg about the things that I care about.

Elon Musk makes great things with good motivations and is totally a nice guy, dudes.
1000004613.jpg

See this guy? He walked 600 miles of the Appalachian Trail at age 18 alone, and those stupid Karens were aganist it for some retarded reason, and that means he's no longer part of the longhouse and broke away from the femoid's chains.

Zoomer dude saw helicopter parenting, that thing from the 80s and 90s? Yes, zoomie Rudie saw it, don't question it. Also shilling for going to the third-world, because people there have a partying culture, unlike in the US, where Karens shut down all fun and partying. As well as more "this movie wouldn't get made today" and "the Karen wives took away the working man's after-work bar visits from their husbands"
1000004621.jpg

Rudy self-inserting as this this guy and coping that he got mocked in high school for being a nerd

Saying that either Goebbels or Göering were not moral busybodies, and those that complained about having too attractive women in propaganda or having neighbours play loud music go aganist nazi values. "Do you care about having lemon or not having lemon with your iced tea? Sorry, society is collapsing and we are all going to die, which means that if you care about that NOW, you are a Karen"

Society and reality will end up getting too hard for the managerial class to prop-up the karens, and we will talk about them to our grandkids (very optimistic knowing Rudyard and his audience) as something that belonged to different times
This is my first comment of this type and I'm a dirty phoneposter, so please give feedback as to how to improve

Not Iroquois but have family ties to New York and Pennsylvania and yes, there was a war in the area called the Beaver Wars but it's kind of a stretch to call it a genocide since a lot of the tribes came back to the lands the Iroquois conquered due in part of the Iroquois not having the population to adequately settle the land. Essentially Rudy's making a bad thing even worse in history.

1000004608.jpg

Rudy ain't beating those racism allegations any time soon.

I know a guy who did exactly this and he didn't bitch about anything. Rudy just has a victim complex like the Karens he so much despises.


On a different note, I realized a potential reason for Rudy dropping out of college aside from what he said. Apparently Spengler is controversial in modern historiographical circles for essentially painting with broad strokes in history which is unsurprisingly frowned upon due to history being a tad bit complex. Personally I believe one of Rudy's professors gave criticism against Spengler and Rudy, being the Spengler fanboy he is, didn't take kindly to this criticism and dropped out. Not the only reason but a good part of the whole picture.

Also I found the perfect uniform for Rudy's Revolutionary Incel Army.

I love Rudy's religion/culture map. He finds cause to bring it up in many many videos. There's a lot to talk about. Most notably there's the oddity that it mixes religion and cultures. This isn't too odd as you could argue that each area roughly makes sense as a broad cultural zone that has its roots in a particular region, with Japan I guess just being their ethnic religion, the West being irreligious, and Latin America being the West that still has religion. But there are so many weird things thrown in. Why is the Sahel included? It's a notable liminal space between both climates and Christian and Islamic Africa. But why is it the only such zone depicted? You could argue for a similar belt in Eastern Europe showing countries that are West-alligned but still religious (Poland, Hungary, Romania, etc.).

Then there the black swathes. Normally that would indicate unpopulated areas or folk religion. Sure enough northern North America and Northern Eurasia are black, as is Antarctica and the Amazon. Australia's black region kind of makes sense, but it doesn't cover nearly all of the unpopulated/highly Abo areas. I think the same is true for Alaska/Canada. Papua New Guinea is fair as I think they have traditional beliefs, but shouldn't the Indonesian half be Malay? I find this funny because there are so many areas where Rudy did pay special attention. You can tell he prides himself on know small details, like Tartarstan and that majority Buddhist Oblast being green/yellow in Russia and the Andes being sparsely inhabited.

I'll switch to list format:

  • Shouldn't Sri Lanka be Lowland Buddhism?
  • WHY IS THERE NO CHRISTIAN AFRICA? Ethiopia gets its own thing but no one else is included?
  • Already mentioned above, but sorry highly devout Christian Fillipinos!
  • Sorry Sunni Bangladesh!
  • Yucatan is black because, jungle, I guess. I dunno, he actually lived there for a few months so maybe they aren't like other central/south Americans? If it's the whole Mayan thing there are plenty of other South American regions that are highly indigenous that are teal
  • What's with Mexico poking into the US? If it's because there are lot of Mexicans there, what about all the other parts of the American South that have huge Spanish-speaking populations?
There's definitely something to be said for linking the world's "Civilizations" to its religions, but there's no visual way to do it that won't have tons of flaws. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Rudy has any illusions that this is perfect, but I really think he could do better. I could look at this thing for hours.
 
1000004608.jpg
The most laughable thing about this map isn't the sweeping generalizations, its that he writes off entire regions, even the majority of continents with black, as if people don't live there or they are some savage uncivilized wasteland with zero law and order. India actually fits that description yet its considered a "civilization" in Rudyards view. Its favoritism and racial predjudice to a banal, nauseating degree. Just say you hate niggers and talk about how their countries are failures, don't act like its abunch of jungle people banging drums together and living in complete anarchy without any semblance of a government or internal political strife. Africa has its wars, history, and geopolitical relevance today, Rudyard is just too retarded to understand it, jerking himself off and fantasizing about civil war scenarios in Europe.
