New Rudyard Slop

Actual criticism of the new video :

"The steppe is the counter-civilisation"
Well kinda, until you started using the examples of the Jurchens with China and used a pic of the Tang Armies, which defitnitely came from a civilised state-sponsored army

"Timur was the last great conquerer of the steppes"
The Qing were 100 years later, and every Chinese dynasty after the Han conquered the steppes

"It is surprising that they beat people 100 times their size"
Consistently throughout history this is not surprising, given that calvary has won against infantry every single time since the invention of the chariot. In fact, considering that they had no cities to defend and based warfare off manouevre, it was kind of the expected outcome. This of course ended when artillery advanced enough with gunpowder.

In general it's a very interesting concept so I'll leave the more serious criticism later

Calvary still wins. It simply evolved into things like tanks and Toyota trucks.

14)all weak societies are barbaric and primitive. Only great societies can choose to be good or evil

I didn't know society operated off of JRPG rules Rudy

I haven't watched any of his stuff in a while. Is he still Odin's Chosen Warrior?

Kek. I am not theologian but I think Rudyard is wrong here.
Edit: He claims this simillarity exist because both Arab and Protestant society was based about herding. BS in 16th century Germany farm animals were important, but it did not define it

There's superficial similarities, sure, which is all Rudyard looks for when he analyzes history.

Rudy's argumentation for this falls apart when you realize Islam itself is divided into numerous schools and sects. Rudy probably ignored this important fact since it would've required actually spending more than an hour's worth of research into Muslim theology. Plus dogmatic infighting, colonies, sexual purity, and warrior society wasn't even unique to Protestantism and Islam since many Catholic nations had much of the same things listed in Rudy's last sentence.

 

[Radola Gajda]

Around 13 minutes in video he talks about spirit world (lol).
And then Chudyard argues that Steppe tribes followed primitive religion without morality system or concept of soul and thats reason why they massacred so many people. As his examples Chudyard names Genghis Khan , Tamerlane and Crimean khanate. Two of these three were followers of Islam. Lmao

 

[Nachos Bell Grande]

He got 44 minutes into his 48 minute video before mentioning mouse utopia.

The man is literally incapable of not mentioning the mouse utopia at least once per hour at this point.

When terry davis was alive, was this how he was perceived? If whatifalthist died in a freak accident I feel like people would know him as the brilliant schizo guy.

Never. Rudy, even at his intellectual peak, couldn't hold Terry's jock even when he was fully gone. Terry was an actual mad genius who actually set out on his divine mission instead of chugging opiates out of a octopus mug while in a cum crusted robe. Rudyard is a lonely incel who copes about his shitty existence by doing hard drugs and believing in his hallucinations. Terry was already successful and considered brilliant before he went off the deep end and when he did the work he did was still impressive. Rudy went off the deep end and just tried to bring his whole family down with him out of spite.

Rudyard has said before that he doesn't support eugenics, but he seems to at least flirt with the concept sometimes because I believe he has this impression that he has great genetics and would personally benefit from it, as evidenced by his Christmas rant where he tells the story of a eugenicist woman who wanted to have a 'relationship with a great man' and chose Rudyard for his supposed 'good genetics'.

Man if the Lynch family genetics are good I can't imagine what bad genetics must be to him lmao. The first 20 minutes of his autobiography were just listing all the ways his parents are physically and mentally fucked.

so. Rudy will pretend the 10hr schizo videos never happened and will keep posting schizo influenced vids?

As I expected. He will try to move on quickly so The Rudy Riders think he is just being bullied by da left and stick up for him. He got the beginnings of his cult boys! Shoutout to The OCD!

1)every people ever are violent
2)every people ever are misogynistic
3)every people ever are racist
4)whenever you hear about a society which is sexually puritanical look for the weird sex thing they did as an outlet
5)on the other side no society ever is actually sexually liberated
6)every society ever is hierarchical, normally to insane degrees
7)every society ever is religious and spiritual, even in the 1% of cases they don’t realize it
8.when you hear about a golden age, it came after a nasty war
9)every society goes crazy every once in a while
10)if you can’t find a society’s mythology, you’re stuck in its web

The rest is either redundant repetition or tacked on conjecture for it's own sake... really shows you how there seems to be someone smart buried in all that logorrhea... could've probably been a much needed, unbiased commentator on whatever nothing is currently happening, but this schizo shit he's addled with prevents it... and makes him a bi-partisan rightoid.

If someone came up with that list in my middle school days,
he'd been one of those types you (as a kid, mind you) thought was going to go places.

Another goofy ass community post

Spoiler: Full text

Why do you settle for mediocrity in order to achieve the approval of those you do not respect and who wouldn’t think twice if you died tomorrow? The mob cannot generate. The Lonely Crowd only takes until your soul is gone. Only listen to those you respect for their achievements. If that list doesn’t include me, fair enough. I wasn’t gonna change your mind anyway.

Why did you give up? Perhaps it’s since you were never told you could be someone you could take pride in and achieve something greater than you ever imagined. Perhaps you’ve experienced failure before. I don’t know you. I’ll probably never meet you, but if YOU don’t care about achieving your own destiny, either reconcile yourself to obscurity or know you are already truly dead. The only thing I ask of you is to act in a manner where you don’t hate waking having to look at yourself in the mirror.

Look man, most of you are probably gonna be failures anyway. You have nothing to lose. The system openly spits on you and stops you from attaining anything. What does it cost to try to live even in a little way?

Who knows, I’m gonna guess at least someone in this audience will grow up to be president someday with just the way demographic stats work around specific interest groups*. The old order is dying and we will need men sooner than you think in order to survive.

Peace, Rudyard —

I’ll stop with the inspirational stuff after this for now. I just woke up wondering why we care so much about the opinions of strangers, something I’m guilty of and thought I’d vocalize this.

*if you look at the history of leadership, you find that high achievers tend to cluster around a handful of very specific interests. For example a huge amount of business moghuls grew up playing age of empires or civilization. Studying politics and history is one of the strongest correlations so I think at least one future president is reading this now. It could be you, but it probably won’t.

What career path clusters around HoI? NATO-general? His optimism is almost endearing...

 

[Nachos Bell Grande]

I don't know what's worse, the Rudy fake deep posting, or the people getting hyped up it in the comments.

 

[Nicholas Gur]

Its kinda funny. Before the christmas example the comments were decently grounded and there was actual discussion of the themes and potential alternate histories/futures being speculated on. Now it's seemingly split between genuine sycophants and everyone else making fun of him. I guess he got what he wanted. Most of us will lose interest and stop paying attention while his cult members will remain and let him groom his incel army.

I can explain the entire decade in one sentence: It was a CIA psyop.

Only a matter of time now til we get either the gay arc or the "you have to marry a 16 year old" arc.

It is inevitable with extreme right wing talking heads. The left wing talking heads have everyone being revealed to be a drug addict pedo, the right has every talking head revealed to be a closeted gay pedo.

At best, livestreamer funded by the Russian government. At worst, groomer with an amputee fetish working at Paradox.

To be fair, I don't think anyone at paradox can into HoI. That entry barrier is just too high.
But pill me, if you must.

“Marry a 16 year-old” arc sounds more likely to me. It would fit in with his desire to be how his ancestors supposedly were, and for some reason people think that RETVRNing consists of impregnating girls barely out of puberty or still pubescent.
