What irritates me is that all of these supposed anti-intellectuals jump on the "appeal to authority" bandwagon whenever it suits them because they unconsciously believe in the thing they claim to be against. Whenever a professor from prestigious university says something they agree with they parade his credentials around and whenever a man they disagree with is a college dropout they make sure to mention it and disregard his argument completely. It's like right wing version of racism in a sense that leftists aren't anti-racists but divert their racism towards acceptable targets (uncle toms, conservative gays, etc)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.
...So I guess we got confirmation he fried his brain with psychedelics and hasn't looked back? I really feel like he gets blasted on kratom and then writes these big epic "intellectual take about psychedelics" tweets hence all the random academic word babble.View attachment 6655058He's doing it again
use the gateway protocol to commune with the spirit world
>religion with conservative men“Idea. Make a church for based men. We study esoteric passages in the Bible, have philosophic discussions about the nature of God, do forgotten mystic rituals, use the gateway protocol to commune with the spirit world. We meditate and study Aquinas. We drink and party a lot.”
thats just where right wing politics are at tbhI like how he tries so hard to be taken serious as a legit force in right wing politics but then at the same time keeps talking about crazy stuff like the “spirt world” as if it’s something real and not at all insane sounding.
I like how most of the books he dislikes are books he hasn't even fully read. Kinda hard to consider him a legitimate intellect by those standards.Rudyard wants to start explaining "highly complex philosophers" like Hegel to smart high school seniors specifically (everything is about his experiences in high school). Now the only problem is that he's never actually read anything by Hegel, the best he could do was make it ~20% of the way through "The Philosophy of History" before giving up, giving a bad review, and functionally calling Hegel a dishonest pseudointellectual, as can be evidenced from his goodreads.

Fucking hilarious, because you really can't understand the political state of the world today without understanding Hegel and Kant shaping all the great thinkers that came after.Rudyard wants to start explaining "highly complex philosophers" like Hegel to smart high school seniors specifically (everything is about his experiences in high school).

Has Rudy actually read Spengler?
22:10 - Auron: "I like Spengler, I feel like I can read and understand Spengler relatively straightforward-"
Rudy: "HOW!?"
The amount of pseudo-intellectuals that claim to follow philosophers without fully reading their work is surprisingly big.You'd be correct because Rudyard has only read "Decline of the West", and even at that he says he didn't actually finish reading the book.

Sadly he is quite popular and has access to larger platforms because Civil War is a very cherished fantasy. He's a great avatar for it given the contradiction between how he wants to be seen and his bespectacled reality. That isn't the same as being "taken seriously" but he's definitely more (directly) influential than someone like Jared Taylor. What someone like Taylor has going for him is inspiring actually smart people who in turn influence new people and so on. That probably isn't the case for Rudyard.I like how he tries so hard to be taken serious as a legit force in right wing politics but then at the same time keeps talking about crazy stuff like the “spirt world” as if it’s something real and not at all insane sounding.
