I remember this guy saying in some older video that "he is no stranger to female attention" because he is super intelligent and went to some special event. This is a good thread.

I think we still have a long ways to go before 1000.
Man, I wish he did debate Nick Funtes. Him trying to defend against the tranny lover's antisemitism would've been glorious.

Is that conclusion wrong though? Instead of looking at one single ethnic group to blame we should at least understand their underlying philosophy, that is, cultural marxism. And he hasn't said that Jews play no part he merely states that pitting all the blame on them is nonsensical because certain parts of that theory don't add up. I don't think he's wrong on this particular thing. Much of the Jew-hating right especially online is obnoxiously anti-intellectual and relies more on name calling and bullying tactics more than anything else, which appeals to young edgelords. Without that they have no actual defensible positions to stand on. I can at least respect that Rudyard tries to offer a legitimate historical perspective on this. Marxism is our real enemy and the more we waste time trying to make excuses the more it festers.

I would pay my weight in gold to see his mom's reaction to the incel revolution video. Rudyard is like a living parody of something but i cant put my finger on it.

Forget about the Jews.
What I'm saying is that half of Rudyard's individual opinions align to a broadly left-wing, Marx tinged interpretation of power. Many of his gripes with post industrial modernity could comfortably rest on the lips of Noam Chomsky.
That's why it's so funny that he thinks the 'global elite' and the captains of industry are radical Marxist communists. It obviously doesn't make any sense, but it's no surprise given his general ignorance of philosophy.
Remember that this guy only learned there's a difference between Rationalism and Empiricism this year, but he's going to lecture to us about the history of Western thought. Lol

Auron Mactinyre (pundit of Glenn Beck's The Blaze, and imminent owner of an island's worth of cigars courtesy of one Neema Parvini) has recently had Rudy on. Auron has shown a remarkable degree of flexibility when it comes to the range of his guests and their subjects, and given his own start as an anon, him taking a chance on our deep thinker isn't too beyond the pale. I subjected myself to their discussion so you don't have to:
Highlights:
TL;DR: Auron spends close to two hours showing off his background in the public school system with how well he tard wrangles Rudy. Rudy occasionally makes a decent point but meanders and gets into non-sequiturs so much that they're all effectively lost.
Highlights:
2:16 - Rudy: "I learned about your work from reading The Total State, which is a handful of books..."
(It's one book and only 177 pages long - actually a decent read, but I digress.)
2:56 - Auron: "I was wondering if you could tell people about how you got into all of this and how you got started?"
Rudy: "Just for a test, are you hearing through- How's the sound quality now?"
Auron: "It's a little distant."
Rudy: "Okay, sorry, I apologize. I know you're live, but I'm trying to get my microphone quality right. I didn't realize that-" *proceeds to mute himself while still talking for the next five seconds*
Rudy's constantly changing expressions andeffeminate exaggerated hand motions remind me of a Civ 4 leaderhead. One second he's inexplicably making bedroom eyes at Auron:
The very next second he looks like Auron just told him his head would look good on a pike:
6:40 - Rudy: "I've have become known as the revolu-" *hiccups into microphone* "I've become known as the revolution guy..."
8:15 - Rudy: "And when I say civil war or revolution, I like to say I'm betting against God. And what that means is that to predict the world you have to understand every variable because everything is connected, and that's physically impossible. So I don't pretend to be correct all the time and I- especially so, in short periods of time, my predictive abilities crash."
15:00 - Rudy: "When the average age of marriage gets above twenty-eight historically you're going to have a civil war. And so all of these wellness metrics are butting up against a cliff where you basically have to have a war in order to reset them."
mfw the special ed kid starts telling me a war is going to happen because the incels are going to rise up
22:10 - Auron: "I like Spengler, I feel like I can read and understand Spengler relatively straightforward-"
Rudy: "HOW!?"
22:52 - Rudy: "I only understood Spengler when I read about hermeticism because I realized that Spengler was trying to apply hermetic principles to history."
Auron: "Mhm... Makes sense."
23:22 - Auron: "How did you come to hearing about Sam Francis? Because Leviathan and its Enemies is, like, an eight hundred page book that desperately needs editing. Uh, so most people don't just grab that one off the library shelves."
Rudy: "I read it because I had to live with the consequences."
Auron wishing that his mug had irish coffee as Rudy goes on another five minute long non-sequitur.
37:59 - Rudy: "This is the third question in a row that you've asked that's really spot-on, so I want to congratulate you on that."
39:15 - Rudy: "Because if you can coordinate through the internet independent of the government, it's the return of the middle ages..."
(Rudy taking after Dear Feeder I see.)
39:40 - Rudy: "The internet opens up the network, and the network has the potential to destabilize the state. And I believe the fundamental question of our time is... life or death?"
46:43 - Rudy: "The way that I see things is that the post-World War II consensus- and I don't think that you and I exist in that social- in that consensus, we're the thing that comes after it, um, at least hopefully." *proceeds to knock on his desk which gets a chuckle from Auron*
1:04:24 - Rudy: "One of the things I respect about the Fitzpatrick's War timeline is that it's a view of the future that's pretty in-line with historic trends. Because most science fiction involves the stripping away- most science fiction is just a fantasy of the leviathan. Look at Star Trek; it's the complete stripping away of-of culture and religion for this communist, uh, expansionist, uh, post-scarcity society. And... I'm sorry, what was the question you asked again?"
Auron: "Basically if you think we're going to see an overall decline in societal complexity..."
1:07:20 - Auron: "We could probably do this all day and hopefully we will again but we have a large number of questions building up. Do you mind taking a little time to answer the questions?"
Rudy: "Do you mind if I run to the bathroom first and then I'll answer them?"
I'll end it on this highlight as the superchats run into the same problem of trying to contextualize the nuggets from Rudyard's ramblings.
1:41:11 - Rudyard: "So, inside all of us is a normie. Because we were all former normies."
(It's one book and only 177 pages long - actually a decent read, but I digress.)
2:56 - Auron: "I was wondering if you could tell people about how you got into all of this and how you got started?"

he reminds me of this one guy new in high school the guy got B and a.
And I got straight A's this guy would always talk like he was the smartest person in the room and I knew his grades actually knew everyone's grades because my teacher would have me carry out the test back to her Co teacher and she says don't look at them of course I looked at them because I'm a weirdo who likes understanding that information for some reason.
I'm a type like an idiot on Kiwi farms but I was a straight A student in high school then again American high schools are the easiest places in the world to get straight A's figure out what your teacher likes and memorize some stuff and repeat it back to the teacher on a test also if you don't know an answer to a question statistically the answer is usually c.

If anyone wants a frame of reference as to how much confirmation bias goes into Rudyard's beliefs, he has stated before 8 months ago on "Hanging Out w/ Rudyard from WhatIfAltHist | 315b" by the Sitch & Adam show that he has no idea whether or not his physics opinions (which he gets entirely from his friends) are true, yet still puts out a tweet like this and the one provided below detailing some sort of huge physics revelation that's going to dismantle old models of thinking and show how consciousness affects physics. Ultimately, he does finish it with a mention that he knows nothing about physics and could be wrong (which is a step up from when he was inventing credentials), but if he has no clue about it then why would he keep talking about it? He can be corrected, acknowledge he has zero idea what he's talking about, yet still keep talking about it with the confidence of a PhD. In my opinion, he believes this to be true, so he'll keep saying it but seems to now put a quick "Oh by the way I could be wrong" to deflect from possible future criticism. If someone were to call him out for being egregiously wrong on this, he can say he never claimed it was true and simply go back to talking about it months later. I think my opinion here is correct because he's done something similar to this before, where when questioned about cyclical history he claimed he was skeptical of it, but months later still was using it in his analyses and videos (as evidenced in one of my previous posts).

I love when burnouts start talking like this. It reminds me of the letter Jordan Peterson sent his father, clarifying(?) the theory behind Maps of Meaning. The letter is preserved in the book.
It's the exact same sort of grandiose, strategically imprecise language that Rubeyard loves so much. If you squint, it might just look profound:

The fact that Rudyard thinks the same handful of pop-historians are more valuable than every actual specialized, published historian honestly explains a lot about why his channel is the way it is.

Eh, loathe as I am to agree with Rudy Tuesday I can sympathize with the sentiment that a lot of published historical work is just learned nonsense. There is a crisis of accreditation in academia where there are far more history degrees than chairs and museum positions to hand out and so the journals have been repurposed as a sort of pressure release valve. I still remember a discussion with one of my professors where she offhandedly mentioned how one issue of a very specialized academic journal was mostly made up of papers from two people who were using it as a vehicle to argue with each other.
The real problem, of course, is that once something gets published, you can't just dismiss it out of hand academically. Journals can still be useful but you have to sort through a lot of nonsense and, worse, people making the same points that were made by a now-dead historian decades ago (who would make them far more eloquently).
Speaking of, I wouldn't call de Riencourt a pop historian. Orientalism might just be intellectual yellow fever but the guy was a formally trained and educated historian who did travel the places he wrote about; much like Ptolemy, you can devote your whole intellectual career to something and still be wrong in your assumptions.
