I hope he does because he literally never stops tweeting, he hammers out like 11 tweets per day. Give it a rest already.

11 is not all that much for a guy whose whole "job" relies on social media, to be fair. If I only I got money from making comments as well

I got the Impact Theory interview recommended to me before I knew who this guy was, and it was painfully obvious that this motherfucker really just read The Fourth Turning, uncritically went “Yup” and then wrapped in a bunch of bullshit mental models of societies in collapse. This man is retarded, and I think the more exposure he gets, the more he’s going to get pushback.

Rudyard already broke his twitter break, but he absolutely had to because the evil regime is trying to take him down for being a 600k subscriber youtuber. Fortunately, he's uploading all his videos to X to save them after Kamala bans X.

Ay, back exactly when I said he'd be back.

Uploading his videos to Xitter in order to save them? Does he not have his videos saved to a flash drive or on his PC? Can he not download his videos from YouTube?

Most charitable take I can give is that he's protecting them from potential deletion by YouTube, but dumping them on X is still the worst way to do that. Even with ad revenue giving him money and Elon's (supposed) safeguarding non-left takes from getting sand-blasted from the servers so he can keep making a living, he'd have to constantly retweet his shit like once a week so they don't get lost in the rest of his timeline. Stick them on Odysee for God's sake.

Rudyard gives a double episode. No time to analyze, but Rudy's specialty seems to be giving out points from famous names on Anthropology, thus I have high hopes on this (to be higher quality than his manifesto videos at least)

"The New York Times said the constitution was dangerous"
Very creative excuse to justify being unable to last more then two days without a tweet.

This is the same level as "I can't write because of facism" that GRR Martin used.

I know this is supposed to be a thread about ruddy, and honestly while I do think he makes and goes on extremely esoteric rabbit holes that just amounts to "420 KRATOM BLAZE IT CIA ELON MUSK DARK MAGIC ALCHEMY BROOO", he can make some good points. Curt on the other hand? He's a whole character in and of himself. He's basically the synthesis of a self-admitted spurg and schizo facebook boomer dad combined into one being. There's this one debate that I think brilliantly sums up Curt's whole shtick.
I present to you, the debate between LiquidZulu (scottish ancap) & curt doolittle:
from the get-go, curt begins to go on esoteric rants about property and blackmail and judge law and such. Liquidzulu, very properly, asks him what the fuck he means by judge law and whatever esoteric rant he is going on about. As the livestream moves on LiquidZulu is clearly getting more disgruntled, trying to take the pure logical value of what curt is saying. There's an especially funny clip at 56:22 where Zulu summarizes what Curt's whole speech was about, then curt respond with "well- I- uh, don't know what you mean". Then Zulu says, "well I spat your words back at you, if you don't know what it means then we're in pretty dire straits.". Which I think perfectly sums up a lot of what Curt's ideology is, its schizophrenia repackaged in fancy words. And then when pressed, he'll stumble and then repackage whatever acid he took that week into another irrelevant tirade.

Wicked Zulu is legitimately a low IQ Scotsman who did hate stupid people to make himself sound intelligent he used to hang out with Brittany and then black guy at that really ****** politically provoked podcast all of his debates were literally screaming nonsense called libertarian arguments which is basically all libertarian arguments because libertarians have never actually successfully won a single election yet you should trust them with political power.

Regarding his "An Anthropology of the Left" video:

Rudyard says that his thinking is heavily inspired by Marx. (Class stuff, projecting past trends to predict the future, apocalyptic revolution doomposting, etc.)

He doesn't take this as a warning sign that he's completely fucking wrong, or that he's an idiot.

Rudy has the physique of a nerdy older brother who's war gaming at his local game store and takes it a little too seriously.

>Declares war on the internet
>Leaves Twitter before any of the battles have begun because of trolls.

Bold strategy from General Rudyard ngl let's see how it plays out for him.

You know, I've said it once before, but Rudy's lack of good artistic taste has never been shown more adequately. Not only is there still massive screens of text (his favourite), and his EU4-copypasted maps (which are drawn on MSPaint), he uses AI-generate pictures nonstop. It's making any of his points hard to watch.

I think most of the people he challenged by name essentially didn't give him the time of day. I think that helped Rudy in his decision to leave Twitter.

All that talk about having a team and not one of them is an artist that can help improve the artistic value of the videos.
 
Something interesting I uncovered, if you go to rudyard's channel's community tab, he started posting more frequently there in the same style as his tweets around almost the exact time he left twitter around a week ago. It seems that he's not really taking a social media break but just posting in a space where he receives less criticism.

Considering Rudy prefers the company of yes men, it's no shocker he'll shift his focus to a platform that'll allow him to post without concerns for criticism from onlookers. I won't be surprised if he also started to post on the subreddit r/WIAH.

posting his takes on youtube and posting his videos on twitter.
I wouldn't call it unreasonable, given that Youtube is filled with AI-videos and Twitter is filled with replybots. In fact, the replies on Youtube may be more real by now.
