🌟 Internet Famous WhatifAltHist / Rudyard Lynch - History youtuber, galaxy brained, no credentials and no sex

[Southern_Cowboy]

I love seeing random pictures of this kid and am so happy to see this thread about him.

 

[GumballFapper]

Because if not he is first non turkish Ottomaboo I know about.

Half of videos on Kraut's channel are about ottoman empire and turkey

The guy is just a dork who isn't really all that bad compared to most debate bros, especially since he will acknowledge when he's wrong months later in other videos where he gives predictions. However, he does give off the vibe that if it weren't for the fact he makes good money, he probably would be a shut-in not really experiencing life like most Humanity nerds that waste too much of their time on a skill set that equates to double majoring in unemployment and arguing with people you'll never meet.

Rudyard Lynch is literally uncapable of understanding what a positive attitude towards the future looks like. Something which, to me, is conforting, since all revolutionary movements that are founded on something other than hope collapse under their own negativity attitude, which means that his megalomanic and arrogant outlook will amount to nothing

If there was a 2nd Civil War, Rudy would sure as hell not be in any leadership position of any side. He lacks the charisma, the vision, and the will to muster a force that'll do anything to a foe, much less make him into the Supreme Incel of America.

He looks a lot like the serial killer from Life is Strange now that I think about it.

I hope that whatever god is listening in this world or the spirit world do not let that be the fate of our king.

After letting a few of his videos play, I thought the audio kind of sounded samey. Not in the way a YT channel has consistent audio (because that is not true for R-dawg), but they sounded like the same audio clips. This made me consider the possibility that he recycles his content except for specific situations.

Can you send those examples so I can test out that theory?

From how it seemed with the videos, I noticed just any topic he often repeats (Far-Right backlash, Modern Feminism, and Christianity and history(?) I might be imagining it, though.
I am interested in these "social clubs" he talks about since they seem to be the most consistent thing in his content.

 

[LeChampion1992]

The idea of a second American Civil War in my mind isn't that crazy, its just the form Rudyard thinks itd take. Its not gonna be incels forming a mass movement, it'd be MAGA militias, among other factions, taking over parts of the country and getting bombed by drones while the American government doesn't acknowledge its lost de facto control of said areas. Kind of like in Afghanistan under American occupation, government control of major cities while the countryside is a hostile territory. Frequent skirmishes, but no large scale revolution, no large land battles, etc etc.

Rudy basically gets his geopolitical takes from HOI4, and thinks revolutions, and major wars will just spontaneously happen.

I mean hearts of iron 4 is a good what if scenario. I think he's right on the incel uprising but it won't be incels in of themselves but more so large amounts of sexually frustrated young me becoming fodder for the far left and far right.
He's correct about polyamory and polygamy destabilizing society.

That being said if you guys were stuck in a room with lazerpig, Rudyard, and Vaush I wonder who's getting the bullet.

Vaush's a pedo(faggot), Lazerpig's a warhawk and a raging faggot, and Rudie might also be a faggot who has an ego bigger than Jupiter, so it's a hard choice

Someone should make an Incel Uprising meme mod for HOI4. If it's just one nation inserted into the vanilla game it wouldn't be too hard.

As for that question, just Vaush. Rudy is one of the last good lolcows so I don't want him to die and a blackpilled doomer will never try anything anyway, Lazerpig is entertaining if you take him as a storyteller rather than a military hardware or geopolitics expert.

 

[Chimplord1997]

Mr Z has similarly fallen to retarded politisperging. I think it's a consequence of thinking about "what if (random country that has been gone for 500 years) was still around?" all the time

Shoot Vaush in a critical artery, pedos deserve nothing but a slow death.

Mr Z has similarly fallen to retarded politisperging. I think it's a consequence of thinking about "what if (random country that has been gone for 500 years) was still around?" all the time

The fact he made and released two 2nd Civil War hypotheticals in two days shows how much he's been gripped by the almighty poltisperg.

Also that John Brown video he did really doesn't help his case much.

 

[Bloudwulf]

Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should – in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 – and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible.

From Notes on Nationalism.

Rudy and Monsieur Z are in the "transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible."

Vaush easily. Rud and the pig can be entertaining.

 

[Breadbassket]

On the topic of Monsieur Z as of last year he has been attempting to get into politics. Not really sure how that is working out for him.



He seems a little bit more grounded then WhatifAltHist but I hope they have a collaboration one day since that has the potential to be very, very funny.

Rud was also helping an LA mayoral candidate. Unsurprisingly, they did not win, but he and his gaggle of friends were at events.

 

[Lurker Child]

From Notes on Nationalism.

I hadn't actually read that essay by Orwell so I decided to give it a read. Below is a link to the copy I read:
Source: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/th.../essays-and-other-works/notes-on-nationalism/
Archive: https://archive.is/I6hBZ

To begin with, this is how Orwell is defining "nationalism" for his use:

By ‘nationalism’ I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled ‘good’ or ‘bad’.[1] But secondly – and this is much more important – I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

Apparently in some prints, "nationalism" was replaced by "chauvinism" which in my opinion is a more precise wording.

Now, some observations of Orwell's:

Spoiler: Quotations

I. A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige.

II. The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him. Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also – since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself – unshakeably certain of being in the right.

III. Obsession. As nearly as possible, no nationalist ever thinks, talks, or writes about anything except the superiority of his own power unit. It is difficult if not impossible for any nationalist to conceal his allegiance. The smallest slur upon his own unit, or any implied praise of a rival organization, fills him with uneasiness which he can only relieve by making some sharp retort. If the chosen unit is an actual country, such as Ireland or India, he will generally claim superiority for it not only in military power and political virtue, but in art, literature, sport, structure of the language, the physical beauty of the inhabitants, and perhaps even in climate, scenery and cooking. He will show great sensitiveness about such things as the correct display of flags, relative size of headlines and the order in which different countries are named.[4] Nomenclature plays a very important part in nationalist thought.

IV. Instability. The intensity with which they are held does not prevent nationalist loyalties from being transferable. To begin with, as I have pointed out already, they can be and often are fastened upon some foreign country. [...] But the peculiarly interesting fact is that re-transference is also possible. A country or other unit which has been worshipped for years may suddenly become detestable, and some other object of affection may take its place with almost no interval. [...] It makes it possible for him to be much more nationalistic – more vulgar, more silly, more malignant, more dishonest – than he could ever be on behalf of his native country, or any unit of which he had real knowledge.

V. He still feels the need for a Fatherland, and it is natural to look for one somewhere abroad. Having found it, he can wallow unrestrainedly in exactly those emotions from which he believes that he has emancipated himself. God, the King, the Empire, the Union Jack – all the overthrown idols can reappear under different names, and because they are not recognized for what they are they can be worshipped with a good conscience. Transferred nationalism, like the use of scapegoats, is a way of attaining salvation without altering one’s conduct.

VI. Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should – in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 – and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible.

VII. Probably the truth is discoverable, but the facts will be so dishonestly set forth in almost any newspaper that the ordinary reader can be forgiven either for swallowing lies or failing to form an opinion.

VIII. The general uncertainty as to what is really happening makes it easier to cling to lunatic beliefs. Since nothing is ever quite proved or disproved, the most unmistakable fact can be impudently denied. Moreover, although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge, the nationalist is often somewhat uninterested in what happens in the real world. What he wants is to feel that his own unit is getting the better of some other unit, and he can more easily do this by scoring off an adversary than by examining the facts to see whether they support him. All nationalist controversy is at the debating-society level. It is always entirely inconclusive, since each contestant invariably believes himself to have won the victory. Some nationalists are not far from schizophrenia, living quite happily amid dreams of power and conquest which have no connexion with the physical world.

IX. To begin with, one has no right to assume that everyone, or even every intellectual, is infected by nationalism. Secondly, nationalism can be intermittent and limited. An intelligent man may half-succumb to a belief which attracts him but which he knows to be absurd, and he may keep it out of his mind for long periods, only reverting to it in moments of anger or sentimentality, or when he is certain that no important issues are involved. Thirdly, a nationalistic creed may be adopted in good faith from non-nationalistic motives. Fourthly, several kinds of nationalism, even kinds that cancel out, can co-exist in the same person.

As well as some other choice quotes which make me think that time is a flat circle again:

Spoiler: Time is a flat circle.

I. Among the intelligentsia, colour feeling only occurs in the transposed form, that is, as a belief in the innate superiority of the coloured races. This is now increasingly common among English intellectuals, probably resulting more often from masochism and sexual frustration than from contact with the Oriental and Negro nationalist movements.

II. Even among those who do not feel strongly on the colour question, snobbery and imitation have a powerful influence. Almost any English intellectual would be scandalized by the claim that the white races are superior to the coloured, whereas the opposite claim would seem to him unexceptionable even if he disagreed with it. Nationalistic attachment to the coloured races is usually mixed up with the belief that their sex lives are superior, and there is a large underground mythology about the sexual prowess of Negroes.

III. Within the intelligentsia, a derisive and mildly hostile attitude towards Britain is more or less compulsory, but it is an unfaked emotion in many cases. During the war it was manifested in the defeatism of the intelligentsia, which persisted long after it had become clear that the Axis powers could not win. Many people were undisguisedly pleased when Singapore fell or when the British were driven out of Greece, and there was a remarkable unwillingness to believe in good news, e.g. el Alamein, or the number of German planes shot down in the Battle of Britain. English left-wing intellectuals did not, of course, actually want the Germans or Japanese to win the war, but many of them could not help getting a certain kick out of seeing their own country humiliated, and wanted to feel that the final victory would be due to Russia, or perhaps America, and not to Britain. In foreign politics many intellectuals follow the principle that any faction backed by Britain must be in the wrong. As a result, ‘enlightened’ opinion is quite largely a mirror-image of Conservative policy. Anglophobia is always liable to reversal, hence that fairly common spectacle, the pacifist of one war who is a bellicist in the next.

It was a good read so thanks for the pointing to it.

Wasn't Dean also involved with American Virtue for a good bit?

Yes, he spoke at an event for them when AV still was called the APU.

Jack Guerrero for LA mayor (I'll see if I have the pic), and he dropped 2k on the Masters' Senate run through the group WinRed.

It will take me a bit to see if I find the picture of Rudyard at the LA event.

Edit: I also wanted to ask about something I heard in a video with Rudyard. He mentioned this "plus chat" (it looks like it is an app), and it looks like it is a specific thing for him and a select few people. (I also have to find the video)
