While I do agree that a lot of online pundits on the dissident are in some way shape or form funded by shadowy interest (such as Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes), I don‘t necessarily believe that 100% of people who gain prominence are certified “club” members.I miss the old days of the internet when small accounts, web sites, influencers existed who weren’t part of some larger coordinated propaganda campaign. One could just search pages up on various topics and get web pages run by normal people who gave valuable information.
I feel as if platforms today primarily boost those who are already being paid for their content by some unknown entity behind the scenes. It’s a little concerning when it seems the entire right wing (or left wing) internet space suddenly pumps out content in lockstep, with stories that perfectly dovetail with one another. Online censorship is bad enough, but I feel we’re all being astroturfed by fake influencers who pretend to be “just struggling normies” when they’re actually degenerate millionaires with high connections.
This breach of trust has happened to me once or twice before, and some of them are very good at hiding their real identities and who’s funding them.
I had suspicions about Rudy from the start, but I can understand how some of his fans must feel.
I don’t like Rudyard anymore, I quit watching his videos a few years back since I simply outgrew them and his pseudointellectual hour long ramblings no longer satisfied my research into geopolitics. However I have a feeling that he is one of the exceptions to the rule where he’s a sperg who started off making alt history vids and ended up flying too close to the sun and getting drunk off his own fame and ego which led him to the spiral he’s currently on. I’m not rooting for or against him, I’m just here to witness the trainwreck.
