  16. I'd like to make a quick correction here: It's not that women were oppressed by men throughout history. It's that the most powerful men oppressed everyone else.

  18. I think the ā€œtruth doesnā€™t existā€ myth was perfectly exemplified by a philosophy professor I had a few years ago who said that ā€œno amount of philosophical skepticism about an objective external world will prevent my fist from breaking your nose.ā€

  19. As someone from Hong Kong that have moved to London in the UK last year... I am increasingly convinced that for all the various powers of the world, things have gotten to the point of it not even being about 'winning' the Second Cold War anymore. But instead, trying to not be the first one to collapse from self-inflicted social issues.

  20. In the past the "hungry times" of the year wasn't winter, but early spring when the food stores have run out and no new crops are yet ready for harvest. Starvation may start later on.

  22. When you're an Orthodox priest and see yourself pictured in the video of a YouTube channel to which you have been subscribed for three years (minute mark 11:22) and are caught between struggling not to spit my tea all over your keyboard and wondering "how did my deacons and I here in Western Pennsylvania become representative of the medieval Byzantine Church?".

  24. Rudyard, as a working class man paying 3100 a month in bills 2500 just in rent and a family of 5. It hurt when you said we're too proud to admit we are working in Victorian era conditions, but I got a great chuckle out of it. You have no idea how spot on you are with that remark. I'm 25 and I work 60 plus hours a week. I never see my kids really and I have a habit of just drinking a six pack when the go to bed to fall asleep and wake up at 430 to do it again. I'm a foreman for an hvav company. I'm not just a coffee maker, I'm a legit skilled worker. I can't imagine how it is for people working 2 restaurant jobs.

  27. A bunch of genius nerds created massive tech companies only to be politically inept enough to be subverted by social science loving HR managers, and now they deserve all vitriol we can give.

  30. Love how this channel gradually turned from alternative history to geopolitical/societal anaylsis and now to a 'SHTF' prepper channel.

  31. In the 80's and 90's Al Bundy and Homer Simpson were considered loosers. They had a stay at home wife, multiple kids, owned a house and a car, on a single salary. Today they would be considered to have been successful. That is how the economy is doing.

  32. YES. I bought a house this week. The power was on and worked fine. When i went to change the account to my name, the electrical company sent someone out. There was a loose bracket for the Meter and they told us we needed to "repair" it... by repair, they meant screw 2 bolts back in. So long story short. The county wanted me to pull a permit ($300) and wait a week for an inspection, before they would tell the electrical company they could turn the power on. They wanted my wife and newborne to not have power for a week over "needing a permit to confirm 2 bolts were screwed back in" its fking ridiculous how asinine basic things have become over this sht.

  36. ā€œOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.ā€ ā€• C. S. Lewis

  39. Fun facts about An Lushan: -He was the son of a sorceress and his name meant "war" -He disobeyed his commander changing into a enemy army and got crushed -He would've been executed for this but his superior liked him so the decision was given to the Emperor -He met the Emperor and forgot to bow to his son and justified it saying he was a barbarian so he didnt know it any better -The Emperor found this adorable -He then bowed also to the Empress, which confused the Emperor -He said it was because barbarians kneeled to mom before dad, which the Emperor also found adorable -In fact the Emperor liked him so much that instead of executing him he adopted him and married him to his daughter -When the Emperor died An Lushan thought his "brother" the prince who's now the new Emperor would execute him for the one time he forgot to bow to him -The new Emperor actually wanted to make him his chancellor -To do that the Emperor sent a eunuch to test his character to see if he was worthy being chancellor -He bribed the Eunuch -The new Emperor thought the eunuch was saying bullshit, killed him and sent another to test his adopted "brother" wholeheartedly believing his character -He bribed the other eunuch too -The Emperor then asked him to come to the capital so they could talk because surely those eunuchs were lying and he could make him his chancellor -An Lushan panicked so badly he went to hide in his province not daring to leave his house and not going even to celebrations and burials where the Emperor would be -The Emperor then appointed his rival who wanted him to answer for his bribery as chancellor, which he thought confirmed that the Emperor wanted to kill him -He then led a army to siege the capital so he could capture the Emperor and make his "brother" be friends with him again once he executed his rival chancellor -His rival used this as proof he wanted to usurp the throne all along and they had his whole family executed -He understandably lost it when his family got executed so he tried to usurp the throne for real by proclaming his own dynasty -He lost because the Sieg of Suiyang took too long giving time for the Tang to recover and was it's own level of mind-fuckery, just search the meme "strategic Tang Victory" -He was killed by his own son who sent an assassin to stab him -He was too fat to grab his sword or even move, also blind, so the assassin just akwardly stabbed him once and his organs popped out like a fart - Did I say he was fat? I mean it, he apparently crushed a horse to death once with his ass trying to ride it -Anyways his last words were "THERE'S A THIEF IN MY HOUSE" or "THIS IS A THIEVE FROM MY OWN HOUSEHOLD" -The later is more likely meaning he knew it was his son who did it but the former is funnier because I like to imagine him thinking he was being randomly muggled -After his death and defeat of his dynasty he actually received a traditional Tang burial given to a royal princ "ause they were more disappointed with him than anything else -His post-death name given by the Emperor simply meant "unthinking" because of his recklessness, but I personally prefer to translate it as "stupid" Seriously it was the stupidest war ever Also it killed a higher percentage of the human population than any other conflict in history, roughly 1/6 of the global population in the highest estimates

  42. Rudyard (Whatifalthist), at some point down the line, would you be willing to include a bibliography of your source material in the description section? I am not a scholar in any way (I have the attention span of a squirrel on crack) but I find your videos to be incredibly eye opening and find myself wanting to investigate how your reached your point of views. Keep up the good work sir, these geopolitical videos are fantastic.

  48. I had an ex-girlfriend, with whom I watched a TK documentary on Netflix. It was the first time I had ever been exposed to his ideas. Keep in mind, my ex was an over-medicated, hyper-sensitive, modern, romance book reading, tiktok brained, cat girl with little understanding of self-restraint. I remember, after watching the documentary, we sat on the couch and sipped wine while talking about the whole thing. I remember stating that I found his ideas wholly true and sound, while his methods were reprehensible. She was appalled. She stated, "but we are so much better off in modern times because all the advancements in technology allows us to be happier". I then asked her, "are you truly happy, though?" She didn't understand. It was then I realized that he was right about everything and my ex was a visible manifestation of all that he warned about, and she couldn't see through it at all. She will defend the system of her enslavement until the day she dies and believe that I'm the crazy one for believing otherwise.

  50. Iā€™m polish. I remember during the communist times, my women friends thought anything western was something good and positive. Now, anything ā€œwesternā€ is a fight against our tradition and history. My best women friends are now very traditional, and completely reject the modern feminist movement. Iā€™m sure other people have different experiences but the fact the west had completely failed to attract people from former communist societies is very revealing, and shows how deeply flawed their movements are.
