Rudyard is clearly mentally unwell he lives in a rich country with a rich lifestyle but he still feels miserable. Not trying to powerlevel too much but I am from iran and I see people living lives of poverty and they are much happier and in a better mental state than rudyard. I will have some empathy for this guy and say that his parents did not raise him well when it came to handling his ego.
He said his mother is a unironic schizo so take that as you will.
I mean; it's not as if he hasn't admitted this himself. One of his common points is the idea that people before modern society and people in poor backwater countries are happier than people in the west because they're apparently more spiritually grounded and not dealing with as much nihilistic materialism. Now granted I haven't actually seen statistics on the matter of quality of life & overall happiness in poor vs rich countries, I just thought it would be worth noting his perspective on this.
thats one thing I agree with him on modern society is not happy even with materialism. Obviously its better to have higher living standards but when those come at societal bonds like family then the world gets hurt.
Curt Doolittle is undoubtedly a genius and will save out species. In that debate he was sick, he is better now.
As far as I can deduce, he has a company dedicated to his channel. I'm not sure what all of his staff positions are, but there is himself (obviously), Marek (who seems to manage emails, sponsorships, etc.), an unknown editor, and there used to be a researcher named Seamus (likely left 1 year+ ago, not sure if he was replaced). I'm not a business owner by any means, but with how low quality his content is and how infrequently he uploads, I can't imagine why he needs so many people to do the work that one hardworking person could do alone, seems like a waste of money. It also begs the question, if he hires someone to manage all of his sponsorships, communications, editing, thumbnail production, research, etc. then what exactly does he do all day? I find it hard to believe it takes 40 hours a week for multiple weeks to record a 50-minute rant.
As of a year ago, Marek apparently "manages the business side of the show, takes care of contracts, added stock footage, gave [Rudyard] advice, and makes it so [Rudyard] can do more videos":
That's interesting, I really wonder what the finances are like for his channel overall. He's claimed to make six-figures multiple times before, but assuming a bare minimum of $100,000, then just paying himself and Marek would be $150,000/year, not including whatever he pays his editor.
Either Rudy is lazy or wasteful with how he approaches his channel.
He seems very desperate to debate Nick Fuentes for some reason. The only reason I can figure is that he seriously thinks he should be on the level of online political influence like Nick, Hasan, or Destiny. I've heard on and off that he was going to debate Fuentes, but I don't think he realizes how badly he would be destroyed, not even because Fuentes is more knowledgeable but just on the basis of him being charismatic and rudyard being autistic and awkward .
"Wahh, people think I look like a dweeb. Better be an ass about it."
