"I wish there was a Texas in the North, but all the similar states there are too Germanic and don't have the entrepreneurial cavalier Celtic warrior spirit that makes Texas so successful."

Reasons Montana isn't as successful as Texas:

-Low population?
-No ports?

Nope. Those got damn Germans. The thing that really gets me about this is if you're from Texas, German descendants are literally everywhere. I'd argue there's probably more German influence in Texas than Irish, particularly in Rudy's area. Unless he just means we embody the "Celtic warrior spirit," either way that is massively retarded. I think Rudyard really embodies everything wrong with the exodus to Texas. If I had a nickel for every CEO tech bro in the Austin city limits that treats Austin as a small Southern town I'd be fucking loaded.
There are many Texans of german descent and there were event attempts to turn Texas into German colony.
This is problem with most of Rudyard videos he may indentify real trends like X country is richer than country Y, but instead of looking for real reasons why is that case, he tries to explain it with anthropological babble .

So much so that Texan German survived as a distinct dialect well into the 1900s as opposed to the Midwest where it basically evaporated after a single generation, and was only really killed by the anti-German sentiment spurned by second world war (where many also anglicized their surnames or dropped the odd Von).

That said East Texas, where the initial waves of white settlement took place and where the most populous and economically valuable parts of Texas were for a long time, was initially colonized as part of the broader waves of Virginia's westward migration (many of these people had some Scots-Irish admixture, which is just a fancy way of saying Anglicized Celts) that settled much of Appalachia and the southern Midwest, with some Acadians (French) from adjacent Louisiana along for the ride. Texan Germans tended to settle on what used to be the frontiers of the state and it only really picked up in the 1840s.
Plus isn’t he originally from Massachusetts? I can’t think of a single area in America that is more Celtic than fucking Boston.
Lynch isn't a Celtic surname, but claiming any relation to the Puritans or Boston Brahmin would go against the Anglo seethe that's in vogue in a lot of Rudy's circles.
 
Men like this have a very hard time understanding a concept of a person's worth as something unconnected to merit and status.
While a lot of it is probably the Tate hustle grindset/warrior culture LARP eating away at a lot of deracinated young men's self-perception of what they should be, I wouldn't dismiss the frustrations that Rudy is appealing to as just being spite.

Most people nowadays agree that the Millennial's constant moaning about Boomer vampirism, the housing market and student debt is reflective of actual problems, but there seems to be a lot less sympathy for the Zoomers that people like Rudy and Tate appeal to despite facing even worse economic and social prospects than the Millennials, most of who could still get a decent paying job and grew up in a culture that wasn't yet totally deracinated. Marriage rates plummeting and kids staying at home skyrocketing hasn't happening in a vacuum; the basic economic and social realities that go into essentially starting your life, for a lot of young white men, are so crushing that I've noticed a lot of zoomers seem to have made owning (not renting) a house and having a family their life goals when those were things even the Millennials just took for granted as something that would happen along way. Basically it's hard for people to have a different concept of someone's worth outside of merit and status when no one is willing to pay you enough to finance the sorts of things that most people associate with being a respectable member of society.
 
He also claims that in these cultures only the first son gets any inheritance, while the rest most become warriors or monks and became aggressive and stubborn. His mother is partly celtic herself. His father is an Irish nationalist and apparently their family still practices a lot of Irish culture 200 years after emigrating.
Wasn't Ireland quite well known for its backwards inheritance laws that were only further reinforced by the English? To my knowledge, estates in Ireland were traditionally split equally amongst all sons which was codified in the Gavelkind Act of 1703 that ensured only Protestants could practice primogeniture. In fact, I remember that primogeniture was a distinctly Norman custom in the British Isles. I might be wrong but this seemed like a commonly accepted fact when discussing the history of land law.

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to suspect that Rudyard doesn't actually read.

Rudyard openly states he doesn’t read any historical literature after the 1960s. And more importantly, he only reads select literature, mostly pop-history stuff. Anything going in depth as analyzing specific laws and their effect on society are way above his level. I’d call him a terrible historian, but that’s an insult to historians.

I also strongly suspect this is why he’s moved into softer stuff like spiritualism. As it is a lot more difficult to objectively disprove “Odin told me you should listen to me” than it is to objectively disprove a purely cyclical model of history.

It is indeed more difficult to objectively disprove, but mainly because there's few people that specialize in theology and esotericism studies who aren't too old, crazy or autistic to use the Internet and call out the blatant misinformation. Many primary sources that people like Rudyard use to feed their schizophrenia about occult bullshit are digitized and openly available in the online repositories of libraries like the Ritman's. In fact, even non-specialized libraries often hold literature like that although you might need to be a student/academic or purchase a subscription. Rudyard and other schizos literally depend on people being unwilling to fact check their bullshit.

Edit: Mind you, I understand why a normal person wouldn't want to read bullshit by some schizo Jew or Protestant from the 17th century. It's dreadfully uninteresting and lacks the narratives that appeal to the modern schizo. However, I would expect better from a man who claims to be a gigabrained Celt scholar.
 
Rudyard openly states he doesn’t read any historical literature after the 1960s.
Certain people in dissident right circles push this idea that nothing after the Second World War is really worth reading. The sentiment has some grounding; prose as a format underwent a great change with the cultural revolutions of the 60s/70s, and obviously academic literature became heavily influenced by it with a lot of deleterious effects. It's also used to encourage people to rediscover some older writers who were intentionally buried for political purposes, such as Carlyle, which is a sentiment I can completely sympathize with.

But anyone who is actually serious about historiography knows that a lot great improvements were also made following the 60s, and someone who what to look for will probably have a better understanding of the events and institutions of, say, World War II, than the people writing immediately after it. This applies to most historical fields - I'll use feudalism as an example. Pre-1960s, even academically, Feudalism was typically treated as a static, universal and easily defined institution that was ubiquitous across and defined Medieval Europe (this portrayal, obviously, has ideological utility). While that notion might still remain popular amongst laymen, academically it's been largely discarded thanks to the works of authors like Georges Duby, Joseph and Frances Gies, Susan Reynolds, etc. who only began writing in the period we're supposed to dismiss. But Rudyard wouldn't actually know this since he doesn't read.
 
Guys I was laying in bed last night, thinking, and a lot of what Rudy says started making sense to me...

... also I had a 41° C fever, I wonder if that's related.

His Goodreads page has books that you'd find at an airport and even they're not fully read per his own reviews. He's the loser son of an otherwise well to do family who wanted to prove to himself and potentially his father that he can do something "great".

Even this speculation is more plausible than any of the theories on his channel. He didn't even do the video game thing with the lines on maps or green soldiers for the countries in them, Cmon!

this is doubly stupid because even the "germans" in the north are still usually at least a plurality English. this is true for all whites in the USA. the recent waves of white immigration to the US have overshadowed the vastly larger early English immigration. The Germans in 1848, Irish during and after the Famine, Italians post 1880 etc. while these influxes were very large they were never more than a fraction of the English stock in the US at any given time.

It's quite sad as even literature which meets their standards of being true & honest is often ignored. Rudyard would improve his narrative significantly by just reading pop authors from that timeframe like Runciman. Many are extremely pleasant and accessible to read even if they're outdated by this point.

However, I suspect that Rudyard rarely finishes his books. He's probably the type of reader who buys and starts plenty but rarely makes it past the first few chapters. Hence his claim of reading hundreds each year. It's an easy feat if you just read or listen to the first chapter.
 
Rudy wants to enslave women because they won't have sex with him and he is unable to use an iron. I hope he does DMT and posts more schizo videos. I liked the later video where he puts on a suit.
Stop stealing my culture you subhuman Irish potato monkey it is the slobs who practice enslaving women to get them to marry you but every time I go up to a woman with a large burlap sack and a bottle of chloroform I keep getting arrested I keep explaining to the office so that it's my slavic culture and he's being a bigot.

For you lonely men out there is 100% accurate and you will not be arrested in any slavic country if you go up to a woman with a horse and a burlap sack put it in the burlap sack and then just take her off to some random place that's 100% a valid form of marriage he was told to me in a dream
 
Then it all started going out of control with him saying he was raped by not just his mother, but his sister as well. the way he says "mommy" was very creepy when telling the story and he almost had a breakdown crying. this is when you start asking if it all happened or if the Ayahuasca effect is doing the talking. Will have to listen more tomorrow.
He contracted himself telling that he has photographic memory, but at the same time, his rape memories were suppressed memories. Those latent memories were only unlocked after doing ayahuasca. This includes being raped by his mom over 40 times, being forced to rape his baby sister, and then being forced to rape his sister. Isn't it weird that the babysitter, his sister, his father, nor himself reported what happened?

My belief is that in his early childhood, there was verbal abuse or he was from a broken home. He did mention that he was sent to a social worker or some type of a government child aid. He did have physical marks on his body, but didn't report it because they would take him away from his dad. Perhaps his mother, father, or father's girlfriend caused the physical beating. Rudy also contradicts himself once more when he said he didn't tell the social worker anything, but then mentioned that he did tell the social workers, who took no action. I'm unsure because Rudy is an unreliable narrator. This is where he develops a hatred for bureaucracy, which drives his political views...
I want to read Freud and Lacan and write a psychoanalysis of Rudy. My new career path as a psychohistorian in Rudy's life

Yeah, wasn't one of the things that made the Irish so dysfunctional that they practiced splitting up farms every generation and by the time they stopped people were trying to support entire 7-10 kid families on 3 acre "farms" that were of questionable ability to begin with because they hadn't been fallowed since the 1600s?

Rudyard should find a way to claim Scottishnes, that is the far superior Celtic culture.

I assume he "reads" a lot of audiobooks on high speed, or at least the ones that are available in that format. Some of the titles he mentions aren't available as audiobooks (David Hackett Fischer's The Great Wave isn't, though Albion's Seed is—at nearly 30 hours), but enough of them are that he could save himself a lot of time that way.

There's also skim-reading, in which you don't sit down and read every word, or even every page.
When I was a history grad student, with multiple books to read, write about, and discuss in seminar every week, as well as books I was using as sources for a paper, I could get a good enough sense of a book as a whole by glancing through the index and citations, then reading the Introduction, the first and last paragraphs of each chapter, and, depending on the book, quickly flipping through the pages and skimming the first sentence of each paragraph. Sometimes a final chapter conveniently summarized everything while wrapping things up. There's no way I could have read all of the books I needed to in their entirety, but I could do a solid skim-reading, while taking notes, in about an hour, and be able to discuss it intelligently enough. So I assume Rudy's doing the same thing.

That the "memories" came up while on Ayahuasca makes them sus as hell, to put it mildly. One thing about hallucinogens is that they can pull up crazy "memories" like that, and they'll feel absolutely real while you're tripping. But they're not real; they're a symbolic representation of something that's going on within you, something suppressed, minimized, or denied that is still very much active in your psyche no matter how much you ignore it. It's heavy shadow stuff, basically.

At one point, he says he experienced being a woman giving birth, and feeling all the pain of it, and obviously he was able to recognize that he was not actually this woman, no matter how vivid and real the experience was. He describes experiencing the tortures of Hell that never seemed to end, and yet now he can calmly say that this all happened only in the realm of Ayahuasca; his body wasn't really burnt or flayed or rent asunder. And yet all of the maternal rape memories that came roaring up into consciousness while tripping balls in the jungle are indisputably true and real, and we should believe him when he says his mother is a literal chomo sex monster? Yeah, no.

Is it possible that Rudy's mother really is mentally unstable as a result of her TBI, and was abusive toward him as a child, and singled him out for physical and verbal abuse in part because he's male, because she has serious issues regarding men? Sure. That he had memories of abuse before doing Ayahuasca (and did Ayahuasca in part to deal with childhood trauma) tells me he's probably not lying about those.

When he makes specific claims, such as his mother waterboarding him, or hiding bruises from a beating by his mom lest his dad catch the blame for inflicting them, or being betrayed by social services workers who said they'd keep what he told them in confidence? That shit feels reliable. So does his subsequent distrust of and refusal to speak to anyone in social services. And he's very specific about how he finally got big and strong enough at age 10 to fight back against his mother, thus ending the physical abuse, in a way that—well, fuck it, let's just say I recognize it.

He's obviously got a very broken connection to the feminine, and grossly distorted and reductionistic views about women (LOL, no, we're not all good at ironing because we like it and thus it's our "natural" task, you autistic gaywad; you suck at it because you associate it with women, who are your despised/desired inferiors, and thus consider yourself above doing it competently). So a history of maternal abuse doesn't seem unlikely to me. But I'm not buying the Ayahuasca-induced rape "memories" because I think they're manifestations of his deep rage against his mother, and the powerlessness he felt at her hands.

As for his dad, who is, according to Rudyard, "from an honor culture," and will fight to the death for honor's sake, and instilled these values in his son—Rudy glosses over the fact that he was too fucking cowardly to protect his only son from his girlfriend's cruel remarks, much less fight the hard battle for custody against his children's insane and abusive mother. He meekly folded, got divorce-raped, then, later, pussywhipped by another woman who was cruel to Rudy, again did nothing.

Rudyard and his father, united in their obvious turboautism, share solidarity as they are constantly victimized by women whose evil they are helpless against. This is the story Rudyard tells about himself and his father, and apparently believes.
So yeah, is it any surprise at all that Ayahuasca gave Rudyard violent rape "memories" about his mother? For the love of Christ, man...

It's a valid way of making it through the assigned literature, but I strongly doubt that Rudyard actually uses it. He makes too many fundamental mistakes that would be discovered easily when using your method. Even asking AI to summarize the texts and correct any errors in the script would give better results than most of his videos.

Again, I think that Rudayard really doesn't read at all and simply listens to audiobooks passively on 2x speed without understanding any of their contents. I have never met anyone who actually reads consistently who puts books on such a pedestal. In fact, most avid readers in education that I know put more emphasis on applied knowledge rather than just consuming hundreds of books and articles in a void.

Alternatively, his brain is so cooked on kratom/ayahuasca and latent schizophrenia that he misinterprets everything to fit his CK3/HOI4 worldview. He already reinterpreted his early life memories to fit the narrative where his mother is a demon-possessed rape monster and dad an autistic Celtic druid.
