10 hours of video was just a joke and an attempt to use leftist tactics to promote... something? All because he had a religious experience.

:story:

We forgive you Rudy, please do it again.

He named his cult The OCD? This has to be a joke right? Surely tomorrow we'll get the "You guys are all so stupid I was just pretending to be retarded" tweet. All one big gay experiment?

Yep, only took 12 hours.

That nigga woke up, thought to himself "damn that was a hell of a dream, good thing I didn't do that shit for real" then had the oh fuck moment when he opened twitter.

Personally I don't buy it. Some of it may have been a publicity stunt but no normal person is giving a 10 hour long diatribe on this sort of thing. This is just him trying to get back any goodwill he lost as a form of damage control. His most loyal followers might buy it but the damage is already done.

If he purges everything right now and sticks with this story at least for the time being I don't think it will actually damage his brand that much in the long run. This story is just too wild. A lot of people will find his version of events easier to believe than what really happened, and most of them won't take the time to look at the receipts. I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to break this story to a friend of mine who was a fan of Rudyard's for a while, and it's going to be hard.

At some point in the future, Rudyard can own up to a sanitized version of what really happened - whether that's a psychological break, a bad trip or something else - and chalk it up to a lesson that will paint him in a sympathetic light. I honestly foresee a potential good ending to all this where Rudyard gets humbled and realizes the dangers of whatever he messed with. Is that optimistic? Yeah, but not too optimistic - he's just 23. I won't get into the details, but when I was around that age I had a minor episode with some similarities and I came out of it better for wear.

He's already spent the past few months going all-in staking his reputation on a US Civil War kicking off before April. Although this episode might make people forget about that temporarily it isn't going away. Rudyard's days of relevance were already numbered.

Eh, I don't think his failed predictions will matter much in the long run. Rudyard couched them with a lot of plausible deniability that he can fall back on when they fail to materialize. This year he's made multiple appearances on other channels. He's young, he has a lot of energy, and people are still ready to platform him. I highly doubt we've seen the end of his career.

Haven't really heard anybody talk about this, but I think it's pretty relevant. In Part 2, he talks repeatedly about how he's currently having financial struggles. He says he used to be rich and is not anymore, and that money has become tight because he's run his channel into the ground. He claimed in previous videos that he has multiple employees, and now he says he only has one (a manager, who clearly isn't earning his paycheck, by the way).

I think the stress of financial hardship could be what prompted all this.

Hmm.. I distinctly remember Alex Jones and his crew begging for a civil war on the Texas border last year around this time.. and Elon Musk was lurking in the shadows, egging it on.
This Rudyard seems obsessed with pushing a civil war, too, and has been for a while.
I guarantee you that the accounts in Germany and Austria that Musk boosts on Twitter are also pushing for civil war THERE.
I see a distinct pattern among the influencers he pushes… he wants to promote an accelerationist collapse, and those influencers who push propaganda to promote that collapse are rewarded.
I’m not saying I’m 100% certain this is the case, that he’s doing this on purpose and is grooming his followers to go nuts and do this shit, but keep an eye out for his influencers pushing animosity and civil war whenever the opportunity arises.
I mean, really, does Rudy look “fit for combat duty”? No. He’s rich, he’ll never see a day of combat, ever.
All these fake ass influencers cry poverty.

Whenever Chudyard laughs, it almost always sounds like he’s about to cry. I was reminded of this when I watched these videos. Now I know why. His mom being an insane schizo and abusing him makes him cope about it daily.

I don't think we can take anything he said about his mom for granted. He was fully out of his mind when he said that stuff; who knows how much of it was true. The only part I take at face value is that she hit him with a book.

The entirety of "RW twitter" and adjacent spheres really ought to; there's so much overlap that gets glossed over - and it goes right into the heart of American politics, the future viceprez being separated from most "posters" by perhaps 1 account. They're so entangled in everything that it's probably possible to trace basically every lolcow on the internet at this point as at least a distant orbiter of this sphere, or someone they target and attack, usually both.

You know that Wikipedia "game" about how many articles you have to go through, starting from one article, to get to a seemingly completely unrelated article? They should make that for twitter, and see how many mutuals one has to go through to eventually get to BAP or Nick Land or some Amarnite, and you'll see just how much these people are everywhere.

Both here and in the beginning of the first video he says hes 100% serious and this is no joke. Im much more inclined to believe him then as opposed to his current re writing of what just happened.

Having glanced at some of the comments, many of them were saying he needed psychiatric/real help so I would guess someone he knows and trusts IRL got into contact with him based off the content of the videos and tweets and told him heart to heart that he needs a break.

I don't really know this cow but he doesn't really seem malicious? Anyway, I hope he takes a break for a while and listens to friends/family

This is not the first time he's posted this type of cringe/insane shit online, casual reminder.

How does he navigate life while living with these delusions? The only explanation I can think of is that he is narcissistic and this whole "wizard/prophet" persona is a grandiose false self he's trying to present to other people, for the sake of receiving narcissistic supply. But with him claiming he's being spoken to in real time by gods makes me doubt it.

Can anyone with an actual background in psychology comment on this? It would be nice to know if there are definite signs this is something other than schizophrenia that aren't obvious to untrained observers. Or if it's a genuine, by-the-book case of psychosis.

The levels of narcissism in this post are off the fucking charts. He thinks the fact he has 5 fully functional sense and the ability to understand body language makes him a super human. He can't conceptualize that other people are also capable of hearing a clock tick on the other side of the room, or feel emotions when interacting with others. That's the kind of understanding you develop at around seven years old. He, however, has devoted the energy others devote to understanding the people around them, to ruminating about himself.

And now he's adding schizophrenia to the mix? I'm keeping my eyes on this one, hot new cow of 2025.

Also his misuse of zeitgeist got a kek out of me for some reason. I love it when narcs act pretentious and expose their idiocy in the process.

This is true and a point I was trying to make on another thread a while ago. People really don't realize how large and diverse this sphere is, like, at all.
