Hearted Youtube comments on Whatifalthist (@WhatifAltHist) channel.

  1. Another before watch: I think America might underestimate the need for sheer manpower. One lesson of the war has been the need for mass

  2. I’ve been watching your videos for the past few weeks and I must say that you have one of the most intellectual and thought provoking channels on this platform. Thank you for taking valuable time out of your life to create this very important content. The modern, leftist nazis will try to silence you but please do not give in to their ignorance.

  3. I worry about all the fairly well-kept stray kittycats in Turkey. They're the best thing about the country; cute, sweet, and friendly.

  4. 9:30 This genuinely surprised me about you, Rudyard. Thank you for sharing this personal story and also kudos for achieving your hard earned success. You are an inspiration to this 27 year old millennial. Also, you dad is awesome and reminds me of mine👍

  5. I'd say most viewers of this channel are NOT NPCs, but that's because this type of content is too abstract to entertain your typical NPC

  6. "Why is nobody talking about how bad they have it?" Because they've been given iPads and other fancy toys to distract them from the fact that they're off worse than most people centuries ago. Back then we worked 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, and actually owned something, worked towards something, we could have pride in what we accomplished. Nowadays, we work for 10-12 hours, own nothing, accomplish nothing, aren't asured we will still afford anything tomorrow, don't have meaningful social lives... "BuT TeChNoLoGy MeAnS We ArE HaPpPyyY!!1!" - People 5 years from finding out they're fucking miserable.

  7. “Hell is a cage you put yourself in.” I’ve experienced this. Don’t feel like explaining right now, may after some sleep. Can anyone relate?

  8. "That’s a pretty reckless claim but watch the video to See me back it up” Literally just a video of him twerking 2:08

  9. If we were to assume that a victory neccesitates an alliance between any 2 factions, then the US would have 6 possible futures ahead: 1. futurism (darwinism + techbros) 2. nazbol (darwinism + marxists) 3. mussolini (darwinism + christianity) 4. shitlibs (marxism + techbros) 5. warhammer 40k (techbros + christianity) 6. liberation theology (christianity + marxism)

  10. It's funny that the average person thinks that we magically ended up here or that historical events occur naturally.

  11. "My phobias are being eaten by a crocodile, marrying a horrible wife or being killed by a totalitarian state." Me too brother, but throw in car accidents as well.

  12. Working at a kiosk in a wholesale retailer, this video speaks to me immensely. It’s hard for me to see how meaningless and trivial the lives of these consumers are. Even if I try to bring up a topic somewhat interesting or “intellectual” their eyes glaze over and they don’t take in anything I say. Really makes the world feel lonely when you live in a nihilistic suburban hell

  13. It's gonna be interesting to look at how china develops over the next couple of years

  14. The Western writer Louis L'Amour wrote about civilization saying that the veneer of civilization As a historian looking back on our own American history, I am seeing patterns that greatly disturb me. We are more divided ss a people than at any time since 1860. As a military retiree, I can say that most mid-level American military officers I have known are more reflective and thoughtful than the.politicians they serve. Many of the young people in our military have seen what happens to societies that break down. Many, if not most, look down on politicians and those who would tear our society apart.

  15. one of your best videos ! been a fan of yours for maybe a year. been travelling the world for almost a half year. been drinking way too much but it's been so beautiful and I'm so lucky and thankful. I've always chose Heroism and watching this video helps me understand other ways of thinking. greetings from Kotor !

  16. I have a feeling that we have nearly reached the end of our recent period of intense growth that the world has seen, and that we are about to hit another part of history where quality of life and technological advances get worse/slow down significantly. Later we will rise back up, as we have throughout history, but the question is when, where, why, and how?

  17. Real problems: -The spiritual wasteland, we're in it somewhere but not near the end. -"The bureaucracy" is already too large and cumbersome but is likely about to become one of the most oppressive and destructive forces of all time. -There is no unified theory. Science pretends, religion pretends, humanist-materialist philosophy pretends, economics pretends. The parts are yet to be connected. -kali yuga and judgement day seem to refer to cosmic or metaphysical time. If so does it indicate our position in the galaxy or some analogous state in the other world? What time is it for real? Are we day moving into night or night moving into day? Winter into spring or just about to start winter? No one has anything close to an answer, but the traditional answers say something like get ready for hell. -At some point John Connor realized that it was impossible to stop skynet or judgement day, but that he was meant to survive it. For those wanting to do the monastery on an Irish island to help culture survive the dark ages kind of thing, this time around you are going to need a lot more than just Christianity, and copying manuscripts by hand isn't gonna cut it.

  18. Hello Rudyard. I don't know if you'll ever read this but i love your videos and I just wanted to thank you for the great work you have been doing all this time. I am impressed by the growth of your channel and i think it is well deserved. The geopolicics series sure did the trick. But please don't stop making alternate histories, they're cool as well. I don't think it's overstated when i say that you have greatly contributed to my current worldview. I would even go as far as saying that you are a role model to me, if it weren't for the fact that i don't know you, who knows maybe you are a dick in real life:). But you have introduced me to Mr Chad Aurelius so that's something. Who knows, maybe i will finally be able to make up my own opinions and thoughts. I hope your channel continues to grow and prosper and i also hope that you keep improving and considering other people's feedback. It's always good to look back to where one started and not let oneself be blinded by success. You'll always have a bunch of nerdy losers like me that enjoy this type of content. PS: Greetings to those people who, like me, always scroll through the comments without ever contributing anything to the conversation.

  19. 31:09 My dude I've been subscribed to this channel since highschool. While I miss topics like war of the worlds and dinosaurs, I do enjoy the political hypotheticals you bring to the table.

  20. All he was missing was the dominance hierarchy, which i hate anyways.

  21. Could u pls make a video on male vs female psychology?

  22. I wrote about this and how it always fails: “Man’s greatest weakness is believing that his work has surpassed nature instead of simply achieving a more comfortable living environment in it. Technology is a tool and a tool is used in place of an animal’s weakness, count the amount of tools and learn how many weaknesses that animal has innate to it.”

  23. At the height of my depression, Rudyard sends such an uplifting message! 😄
    53
  24. Every one of your videos is like an entire semester of school all at once, I can’t tell you how much I love listening! And you continue to get better every time, it’s a blessing and a pleasure to be along for the journey 💜
    53
  25. Yeah, a civil war can get pretty intimate, all those buff strong men, all together, alone. Things can get pretty steamy.

  26. Still need to watch the video but given the topic you might find René Girard's work on mimetic desire very helpful
    52
  27. "We must retvrn to monke!" "NO JOHN, YOU ARE MONKE!" And then John stole a bunch of bananas from a Safeway while hooting erratically.

  28. Wow you’re much younger than I thought, I applaud your early success and the wisdom to forgo the formal education route. Props to your dad for helping you through that pivotal decision time at that age as well, many people today need more honest guidance.

  29. Good video. Minor disagreements of course. But I really think the "The underdog is always good" and "There is always someone to blame" sections are the most important here. "The underdog is always good" section is important because this is a axiom that has taken over our society. Not only did it originate in the Christian ethos, but it was popularized through dystopian movies. I like to use Nietzschean terms, this is a slave morality in the most extreme sense. We often here the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" saying. While I think this is true in some cases, I think the opposite is true in other cases. Absolute powerlessness corrupts absolutely. Nietzsche said this as well. I'm forgetting the quote word for word, but he essentially said that if you spend too much time fighting monsters, you will likely become one yourself. And to remember that when you gaze into the darkness, the darkness gazes back into you. "There is always someone to blame" is good too. I think there is definitely more than human will at play in history. And this is why I really don't like to take a moralizing view of things. For example, I'm someone who is really opposed to globalism, I see it as a negative force in the world, and it will lead to consequences that might as well be considered crimes against humanity. But I hesitate to call globalists or elites who perpetuate this agenda evil. People don't do evil things just for the sake of it. More often then not, they really do think that what they are doing is good. Evil for evil's sake is exceedingly rare. And this helps you avoid conspiratorial thinking or the marvel movie syndrome.

  30. That was enlightening. I was never aware I had been affected by a type of mind virus. I had thought it was a natural progression. Many thanks, and your channel is quite possibly an invaluable resource

  31. So what I'm getting here is that if the Spirit world is real in our world then its pretty much the Warp from Warhammer 40K just without it being fked up by Chaos or from the War in Heaven since not such universal/galactic war ever happened.

  32. The Karens of the past were the keepers of the morality of Society. Now that Society has decided there is no such thing as morality, Karens (like college kids) have only trivial things to fight against.

  33. After watching this video, everything our ruling class is doing makes perfect sense.
    47
  34. the corporate centric society model instead of a community/family centric society is to blame for this social dysfunction. I started noticing symptoms of western decay 7 years ago which has become acute after the pandemic in my tier 1 city even though the country i belong to is deeply traditional. We have to push back against the corporate social engineering.

  35. Whatifalthist, You are amazing! I don't know where you get all of the Unique Perspective on the world, but it's Great! You had basically become my own (mentor?) Of sorts, i was searching for someone like you for a long time. I cannot even express in words how much im thankful for all your work and that you decided to share your thoughts through this YouTube channel. Keep up the work on this level and you earned yourself a lifetime loyal follower. -A Guy From Poland

  36. Hey Ruyard! It looks like you’re currently active in the comments and I just wanted to thank you for the practically humanitarian work you’re doing with this channel. I’ve grown up in an area which would hold most of what you describe in your videos as propaganda or baseless fiction. Your capacity to efficiently articulate a topic as nuanced as history has been massively reassuring to me personally. You understand history as not just a dialectic, but human nature in relation to time. Thank you for that. I really do love what you’re doing man and I just wanted to implore you to help grow an accessible community through some platform beyond patreon or pearl. I’m not saying make a discord server but, something akin to it not stuck in beta like pearl seems to be would be fantastic. It seems by your own words you know that many of your ideas contrast the popular conscious, and as a fan it would mean the world to be able to interact with people who see the same value in the conclusions you’ve come to. Thank you again man, and I hope you appreciate how you’re helping people like me on a personal level. God bless.

  37. The entire field of psychology should be dissolved and replaced with a culture that makes the study of ones own mind a mandatory teaching for the youth.
    45
  38. I think the reason for 18th century Myanmar being literate is for the same reason as for Protestant northern Europe just with Theravada Buddhism instead.

  39. You are my favorite YouTuber of all time. God’s blessings on you.
    45
  40. Me and my whole family watch you while we have dinner
    44
  41. I think the real history is the friends we make along the way
    44
  42. Whatifalthist is becoming a reason to get out of bed every morning...even if a global catastrophe happens I hope we can still get some great content.
    43
  43. I don’t always drop everything I’m doing for a video; but when it’s Whatifalthist what can I say. Keep up the great work
    42
  44. THis was excellent - I am always glad to see a new civilization video! My 88 year old father will love it too, will give us a lot to talk about - thanks
    41
  45. I wish Whatifalthist would create more videos on the difference between Norwegian socialism and Russian communism

  46. Is it just me or does it seem like a disproportionate number of YouTubers are Canadian

  47. What would Alfred the Great do?

  48. 8:14 I remember you showing me the results on Twitter (before it got terminated) and tbh I was thinking how you and I discussed that one of us is the more Celtic of our DNA while the other more Anglo-Germanic. I think you might remember that Rudyard. Though it was mostly British at the end for both of us. It's unfortunate how underrated the English heritage is in America.

  49. I have depression ! :D

  50. The midsection about leaders is something I very much realized. No one wants to take responsibility or claim rulership. I intend to change that at whatever scale I can. I am a very paternal man thanks to early life struggles I witnessed, and I see the value in visible, stoic, masculine leadership as a whole when helping men do better for themselves and the world. Anyone who thinks likewise should train all the leadership qualifies they can, present yourself in group settings as willing and able to lead, and amass followers whom you help with struggles you overcame the hard way.
