Hearted Youtube comments on Whatifalthist (@WhatifAltHist) channel.

  1. Rudyard has probably gone into a war room state of mind.

  2. Good video. The people who need to watch this video won't watch it.

  3. An obvious symbolic correlation of the ring that you skipped is how you can relate it to the chtistian conception of sin. When Frodo puts the ring in he is immediately sent to the wraith realm, where all the men who succumbed to the ring's influence end up living forever. The ring is known to realize the greatest tendencies of the characters, hence why Bilbo, Frodo and Smeagol all disappear when putting in the ring because it's in their nature as hobbits to desire to "disappear". And yet, despite believing they can control the ring, the ring serves only one master. So the ring isn't just about power, but it correlates power, sin, death and becoming Sauron's slave (like the Nazgul became).

  4. Well this continent has survived literally everything that has been thrown into it and if some guys manage to pull off THE comeback that was the eastern roman empire, I believe that it can happen one more time

  5. I follow your channel since the "What if Italy was succesfull in WW2" and i havent missed a video since. You have a brilliant mind Mr. Rudyard Lynch, imo it was a good idea that you revaeled your name and your face, I am remembering your experimenting days quite well, and i think both your old and new content was allways fascinating with a guarantee. I really like your histroy102 podcast and I am looking forward for season 2! My guts just wanted to type a nice comment my man, youre one of my heros and im glad you once started producing content. Youre my favorite American. Greetings, Loyalty and Love from Germany!

  6. Man, it is quite ironic and reality shattering for me to hear about hikikomoris, as someone who grew up watching anime I am well acquainted with the "NEET and Hikikomori" terms as it is (or was) something adressed often on a great variety of genres in anime, I never understood why someone would choose to isolate themselfs of society and do nothing all day, yet to my surprise I am currently one of those "NEETS/Hikikomoris", it feels so unreal to look back on my early years and try to understand how I came to be who I am today on both an individual and collective perspective. Just to say, all of this was just a little vent.

  7. Hello whatifalthist, You will probably not see this, but if you do, I want to let you know that I love your channel and you help me learn English and history, your video is very clear and good. Love from Iraq! Mesopotamia land ;)

  8. I think an old Simpsons joke put it best. "Bart needs to learn to be less of an individual and more of a faceless cog." Also the independent thought alarm is probably standard in schools now

  10. I'm not a young man, but a 34 yo. I'm about to be living out of my car (tomorrow, the 2nd) and coding from my laptop for a few months. I needed this video right now. Thanks, it came out at the right time for me.

  12. I grew up in the area of England that spawned the Middle-American Quaker culture and I can subjectively confirm that outside of the central urban areas, the culture is still very provincial and inward-looking. After the emigration from this area to America, this area hosted large centres of industry. Additionally, waves of migration from Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Then de-industrialisation occured and the effects of this are still apparent today in this region with the some of the worst deprivation rates in England combined with strong sense of local identity between the towns and cities and even suburbs within the cities. It wouldn't be inconceivable that an average individual living in destitution in a cramped, dilpidated house in inner-suburban Manchester (a large city in this Quaker-spawning region with some awful inner-suburbs) has an American 10th cousin who owns a large farm in rural middle America.

  15. I think, out of all my years of studying, I've narrowed down what each political leaning is or fighting for in one word: "Far"/Radical/Dissident Left: Equality "Moderate"/Centre Left: Justice Center: Freedom "Moderate"/Centre Right: Truth/Honor "Far"/Radical/Dissident Right: Beauty/Harmony And if there's one HUGE distinction it's that the right wants to achieve complete unity with nature/god(s)/universe/cosmos/reality, while the left sees a problem with it. I think that's the biggest underlying aspect that I so often see in the patterns.

  16. I love how everyone blames everyone else for their problems, but never themselves. Strange victim mentality...

  17. Bro, I'm from India and I can't tell you marriage has completely broken down here as a social institution, women have recently discovered social media and have literally gone insane. By some estimates every 32 hours an Indian husband is murdered by his wife. It's crazy. The courts still have a mediaeval attitude towards sex, men wrong, woman helpless. And not even talking about divorce, alimony or even fake accusations here. Things are completely breaking down. If you could please make a video about this, I promise you the situation is apocalyptic.

  18. 1) I agree with you on all points. I would like to point out that if you haven't looked into the relationship of wealth and status with attractiveness, that maybe be a good jump to go to next. 2) I'm out of my depth on this one but I have come to the conclusion that Western Philosophy isn't dead and doomed to failure, but is at a limited dead end. Like taking the wrong turn at a Y intersection, we are going to have to go back to the intersection and take the other path. (From my own understanding, Liberalism and the Enlightenment were absolute wins (grounding that each person has social rights that they should be treated with by the state was great) however, the evolution of that where people believe that people deserve economic rights has done little but hypercharge envy.) 3) Agreed 4) As a geopolitical person, I think geography (topography and climate) is one of the major pillars in economic development. You will notice that thriving civilizations have gone from Rivers, to Basins, to now Temperate Climate Zones. Couldn't disagree more that geography is "easily disproven." Pretty much agree on anything else. 5) Agreed 6) That's an interesting take, I kind of agree. That being said, I think if Millennials can't answer up to those who came before us we are totally fucked. The systems are breaking down, either we get through it or we don't. 7) BASED, and part of where I disagreed with you in the last part. People act like everyone back in the day was just harder, tougher, and the like. However, when it comes down to it, very few point out how many people dealt with their issues by drinking bottle after bottle. 8) There is a balance between Unitarianism and Diversity. Societies that are Unitary are easier to move but far more rapidly fall into decay with a need for revolutionary overhauls. Diverse Nations tend to be disjointed (sometimes to to point of collapse) however, they tend to have manpower, resource, and intellectual capacities that more Unitary states just can't match. 9) Simple answer is yes. While war can absolutely break nations, it is in short a geopolitical competence check. Nations that are uncompetitive absolutely get crushed in war, and with that comes their removal or replacement. Without war it is very likely most people wouldn't have access to WRITING. 10) I am fully convinced that Men and Women have a massive underlying dislike for one another. For reasons you talk about in this video, men and women want to play by different rules. Whenever one sex feels it is injected into the rules of the other sex, I find that there is massive amounts of distain. One of the biggest issues Liberalism and Tolerance has it that it tries to treat people as equals, but that clearly breaks down when coming into the conflict of the sexes.

  19. 23 years old young Chinese boy here. For all of my past life I was in the brutal educational system that hardly taught anything rigorous and took the responsibility for you. I was told since my childhood that getting good grades and a university diploma is the only purpose of life. I haven't had any relationship, yet there are so many couples in university that I seem in solitude. I literally have no idea how they knew each other and started their relationships......

  20. 11:01 Wait, are you sure the last time Switzerland was occupied was in 939 by H.R.E.? Didn't Napoleon also conquered it and turned it into the "Helvetic Republic"?

  21. The indie band should aim for the mainstream exposure. Two radio hits will provide royalties for years after all the invested fans bought their albums. Having once had attention will make getting subsequent press easier. And ten years later, when their particular style of indie pop is passe and their dedicated fans now have careers and families, it will be a lot easier filling clubs with a combination of the old dedicated fans and the casual fans who remember those two hit songs.

  22. yea it really does suck being late 20s, stuck alone, still in my parents house. Able to work and take care of myself, but stuck in low pay jobs. It's impossible for me to afford rent in my area, own a car, pay for mandated insurances, AND afford food. Just for myself. I've kind of accepted fully that I'll likely die single due to most women lacking finer priorities and being unable to find the ones that do. And to be honest, I sadly feel like I wouldn't even try pushing out otherwise cause I feel like I'd get blamed as the deadbeat even though an entire economy is against me.

  23. As someone who gets up before 5:00 AM to get to my job in a machine shop by 6:00 so that I can pay taxes to go towards entities who hate my children and also having no say at all in the course of our civilization, this video hits hard.

  24. I really loved something Rudyard said in a recent video - "You wouldn't blame someone living in the Great Depression for being poor". A lot of people who feel they're failing in the nightmare of modern society - need to hear that message.

  25. Almost 20 years ago when I was a senior in high school my best friend, his gf, and I were driving in his car and his gf said that her hands were freezing, it was the summer, I said “well for this hot season, for your hands to be cold, it has to be genetic. Women generally have colder extremities because blood flow is mostly supported to your abdomen for more blood flow to the womb.” She gave me a death stare. She was a feminist like today but 20 years ago. I saw this type of feminism forming back then.

  26. The way working conditions are today is mind boggling, and the way they don't cover expenses fully is even more so. My dad worked a good, high paying job just about all his life as an electrician in southern California. At the best of times, we were lower middle class. At the worst of times, we had gotten evicted due to rent prices being raised. The only reason why my dad is now able to finally try and afford a home at 52 is because my mom passed due to us not being able to afford a life saving hospital stay (the hospital didn't let her stay despite her having issues with diabetes and kidney failure, and she died not even two weeks later. My dad thought about suing, he's a strong, hardass man that I had only seen cry once before my moms passing in my life, but after all the heartbreak and tears shed, he didn't want to deal with all the hassle.) and because he doesn't have to pay for her any more. Let me reiterate: my dad, an electrician paid quite well by many standards, couldn't afford to keep his family alive. What kind of world do you have to live in for that to be the case?

  27. Im history student in Mexico and my favorite topic is religion and spanish institutions in the colonies and there's a lot of this new age indigenists ideas that are so absurd and exagerated once you have a quick check to the archives. I'm not graduated and I'm not a pro either but here's a quick sum of stuff people believe about colonial america that aren't very true. (Sorry for my English) 1. The Spanish conquered america to rob it. Literally were a bunch of guys in the edge of the law that went on its own to do adventuring and by sheer will, cunning and absurd luck (everyone hated the aztecs and the inca were at civil war) they conquered a lot of stuff and gifted it to the king of Spain. It's free real state i guess. 2. The aztecs were a cool civilization that didn't deserve to be murdered. Also, aztec Identity in general. Yeah, no civilization deserves to be exterminated. But literally (almost) everyone hated the aztecs because they were a supremacist ultra militarized human sacrificer tribute demanding society. Cortez had the idea to invade Tenochtitlan because the totonacas asked him to please protect them. Also there's a lot of people in Mexico that said the aztecs are the ancestors or that there's a lot of aztecs in the country... No... There are Nahuas, Wich is a cultural and linguistics group to Wich the aztec kinda were part of (they migrated from the north) similar to how spartans were greeks but not totally greeks. Yeah it's like saying that you're ancestor was totally leonidas because youre Greek. Also the aztec empire wasn't an empire like rome, were 3 allied cities who only colected tribute and dropped it into his capital. For cool mega indigenous civs there's the inca. Anyway I'm not saying aztecs were totally bad. They're cool and were wonderful engies. 3. Spanish looted america and didn't leave anything behind. Have you seen mexico city? Puebla? Veracruz? Guadalajara? There's a lot and I mean a lot of stuff left by spanish. Like... You know... Universities. Libraries. Administrative centers and so on. Yeah of course they take most of the metals to spain but they weren't 19s colonialist who only extracted raw resources. American states were kingdoms, no colonies, similar to Nápoles, Flanders or Castilla itself (yes, they were the lest prestigious but still) so the spanish did try, with various grades of success, to improve the land. 4. Indigenous peoples were brutally oppressed by the spanish. This semester like... Al my assignments have coincidentally been about this and now I'm disgusted to this statement. I could argue, that the indians have actually more privileges than the average spanish peasent. Of course they didn't were to the level of spanish nobility but they have a lot of rights. They lived in the indians republics. Basically autonomous mini states ruled by indian nobility that only awnsered to provincial governors or the viceking. There were corts specially for indians matters and usually they favored the indians republics over the spanish republics. Indians who founded towns get instantly huge swaps of land. Indians were forbidden to be slaves. (Unless they rebeled or something) There were indian right, written by priests. And yes, they were considered inferior only for being indians but it's the 17s please. But they didn't live under systemic oppression. Actually most of there rights were stripped by the liberal mexican government after the independence. 5 and last because I'm tired. Everything about the inquisition. The inquisition was asked for the spanish settlers so they were some kind of police to watch over the conquistadors and keep the morals. Also because secular priests that were in charge of that before were kinda rads sometimes. The inquisition killed like... Half a dozen non foreigners in 3 centuries. The indians were actually not subject to the inquisition. They were christians in development. Inquisition it's only for spanish mestizos and for some reason blacks. The inquisitors were 2. Like... Just 2. They didn't went in a CIA operation cracking down witches. They were like supream court judges with a team of local priests and civilian spies. They were cool. Also they were useless most times. America wasn't very prestigious so... There's was a lot of inquisitors who just didn't do anything. Witch hunts... They do belived in witches... But they didn't believe every girl was one. There were very specific proves to witchcraft. And healers and shamans weren't considered satanic. Just immoral and ignorant people who make people fall in sin. But they really didn't care much about them besides the casual lashes when something scandalous happened. But again, this is the middle ages, the inquisition punishments (unless you had very good proves against you) were the merciful ones. Also if you denounce someone for something to the inquisition and they didn't get proves... You had to pay reparations and be ashamed. To conclude. I don't want to fall into the pink leyend of the spanish. I also could go on a list about everything they fucked up. But for another time. There are just some things that people say about colonial times that are, as always, not black and white. And one last thing. The independence of Mexico was against the spanish government, the liberal constitution, and Napoleon. The original goal was, a mexican ruled, catholic and conservative kingdom under the king of Spain. Yeah i mean the criollos wanted to rule but they were loyal to the empire. And liberalism? This is México. Religión Independencia y Unión.

  28. Minor point: there are no 1000lb bears on the Appalachian trail. Black bears normally don't get even remotely close to that weight. The largest black bear ever killed was ~900lb pounds. There was a 700lb black bear killed in NJ a few years back. However, the vast majorort of males top out at about 500lbs and even that is rather rare. Male brown bears/grizzlies, on the other hand, easily reach 400-600lb. The largest grizzly bear ever recorded was 1600lbs and stood over 10ft tall on its hind legs!

  29. That Aristophanes quote at 15:59 is excellent! I think it's helpful to realize that some of these bad ideas are thousands of years old.

  30. as a boy, you wanted to live in the movies where the brave hero fights to rescue the fallen world from an evil villain. these movies were made as an escape from the boring averageness and contentment of modernity. now as a man, in post modernity, you live in that fallen world. you live in that movie. now, in the most meaningless era of history, the opportunity for meaning and greatness could not be better. we live in that fallen world. we live in that movie. imagine being a part of the generation of underdogs who fought the greatest, and most pervasive evil in history that conquered the world and seemed to've already won. you get to fulfill your inner child's dreams of fighting the system and standing up in a glorious adventure wrought with strive and hardship. our world's evil will fall eventually, it's as sure as the sun rising in the morning, the only question is will you be a part of that fight now that you can be?

  31. There are two main "types" of magic spells. The law of sympathy and the law of contagion. As you mentioned the modern concept of sympathetic magic would be entangled particles, I would suggest that the modern version of contagious magic would be social media. Sorry if I sound too weird, but ancient religions and ritual theory is my hobby........along with Philosophy. Another great video!
    183
  32. Being something of a minor scholar in collapse-ology, I can say that societal collapse is rarely an all or nothing thing. Some areas will do quite well. Other areas will be completely devastated. Also, societal collapses don't always result in dark ages either. In many ways, the early to mid seventeenth century was the collapse of Medieval Europe, yet it resulted not in a dark age but in the Modern World. So you get this weird thing, where in the long term, where societal collapse may be a type of creative destruction.

  34. You’ve heard of convergent evolution, right Rudyard? Well, that’s what I feel I’m witnessing everytime I view one of your videos from the past two years. Even though I’m almost twice your age we’ve arrived at almost the exact same conclusions about history, geopolitics, and the role of Judeo-Christian tradition in shaping the beautiful symphony that is Western Civilization. What I find the most curious is that we arrived at these conclusions about life while coming at it from two completely different vantage points — lived experience and intellectual research respectively. I’m a child of revolution and war, born in Iran to a Zoroastrian father and a Jewish mother, educated at British boarding schools in the Classics, a US citizen by choice, and civilian attaché to military advisers on behalf of the State Department in post civil war Cambodia and pre-revolutionary Indonesia, and a professional musician of 25 years. I was born at about the median point of Gen X, and I’ve lived in 36 different countries including Russia and China. We have drastically different experiences in life, but there’s this parallel inner path that we share and lately it’s gotten super uncanny…I returned home from a Peter Zeihan presentation a few months back to find you talking about him in a couple of your latest videos. Meanwhile, you came about this knowledge through book learning, and what I find most astounding is not the amount of books you read because I was the same at your age, but rather that unlike many in your generation you actually arrive at the correct conclusions from the books. The main conclusion I’m referring to besides the importance of religion in shaping our modern world is the Hobbes versus Rousseau debate. Suffice it to say that I’ve witnessed enough of mankind‘s inhumanity to man to have been thoroughly disabused of the notion that people are essentially good. Nor do I hold that we are essentially bad, but rather that we need the steadying hands of tradition and religion to keep us from the beastly aspects of our nature and to keep us on the path towards our higher selves. Keep up the good work! Cheers, and warm regards 🙏🏼

  35. I have lived in the same town almost my entire life. The friends I made moved on. The forests I grew up in are being cut down for subdivisions full of standardized homes with no character. My boss is an abstraction because all of my assignments happen through a online job board. I'm going back into an industrial scale secondary education institution that has campuses scattered around the burgeoning megalopolis to complete the educational requirements for a professional license in the desperate hope I can obtain enough money to make something of my life. All of those classes are online post-COVID so I need to go out of my way to form professional relationships. The best plan I have right now for long term happiness and the hope of a wife and children is to make enough money to leave the only I place I've truly known for the chance of better prospect, like my Scot-Irish and French ancestors did in the 1700s. The only reason my world is merely brutal and not completely bleak is because I have a family, a religion, and because I'm part of a local social club. Those three things keep life from being a desperate struggle.

  36. I think you need a follow up vid on this because it’s not the whole story. I think the video is correct, but it leaves out the fact hierarchies inevitably become entrenched and create feedback loops that only further their advantages. People shouldn’t be ok with this and wish them well out of not wanting to be envious. Of course envy is involved with very valid feelings of being apart of a system that’s cheating you.

  37. Im a historian. I've been studying this issue, unknowingly, for the past 3 years. I had called it a different name "The Modern Problem" and that Japan was at the forefront of it. That this has never happened in history, that people don't want kids and are consuming nonstop and that it's killing nations like Japan slowly. To have you come on here, and not only confirm all my findings but expand them is terrifying. That it is much worse than I thought and that it is ingrained within our biology. Truly, what are we to do?

  38. I was born with a birth defect that left me with 1 third of a functioning digestive tract, this has also left me with multiple psychological hangups and blips. This makes it very difficult for me to keep up energy levels for the amount of work expected of the average american man nowadays. I am 27, and still live with my grandparents, because my mother was 16 when I was conceived. Because of internal family issues, I have not been on disability since around the age of 16. Ever since then I was berated by my family whenever I would bring up the possibility of trying to be reinstated, as it is incredibly difficult for me to force myself into working 40 hour weeks when I have to sneak cheese and crackers in the corners of freezers. I never took school seriously as a child despite everyone telling me how smart I was. I wanted to be an artist of some sort, so I understand in a way I've reaped what I have sewn. But it always bothers me that I will forever have to pay almost 3 times the amount to simply not starve than the average person, and I get no help with this. My family hates me because I can't seem to get things together, and at this point I genuinely believe that it would be better for everyone involved if I were just dead. I genuinely don't know what to do anymore.

  39. So basically Envy and Anxiety are suicidal for a society Disgust and shame are very powerful at stabilizing however can be incredibly atrocious, each in their own way Guilt leads to growth and development as the most rational make arguements for what to be guilty for and they also allow for individualism leading to immense economic expansion, while the rational aspect leads to technological advancement. (Although it wasn't mentioned in the video the technological advancement allows for new economic opportunities while growth in wealth increases investment into new technologies)

  40. Pretty much guessed my life man! Parents divorced at 3 I’m newly 18 Dad was locked up Mother was a moderate leftist constantly fought abt politics even beat me a few times for it Little brother was a hardcore leftist Was constantly called an abuser a narcissist and a threat to women and others because I liked trump Isolated myself from people because of being scared that what they said was true School stunted me Felt alone for a long time Had one serious girlfriend (lost what I feel like was the love of my life) Work a bullshit labor job that I can’t move up in and that I struggle to wake up to want to go to Believe in God but I’m hella nihilistic And the church is all abt money anyways Demonized by society by work by school n in my own home I feel alone constantly and think about my last relationship at the very least once a day Always viewed myself as born to die I feel lost and I don’t know what to really do I talk to myself all the time and very little holds me back from what I feel like would be my own sanity Unsure what this world is gonna turn into but I’m close to giving up on it

  41. This is an incredible take on the Boomer generation, and has put some things in perspective I didn't expect about my parents' generation ! Though they grew up in post-war Tito Yugoslavia, you can find many similarities with the West (Yugoslavia was indeed a socialist authoritarian regime, but they still gave the bird to the USSR, and remained neutral/distant with the West, sooo... Life wasn't that bad, I remember all the gramps loving Tito and living confortably until the 80s) Also, an interesting point I discussed with my therapist, because I suffer terrible anxiety. She asked me "Did you notice how all the media and people are saying the world is ending, the world has never been more horrible, what the hell is up with the world lately ? What do you think of it ?", and I replied : "Well, I think it's just that we have means of information that spread stories like that, and that people don't realize the world's always been like that, it's just that before it was harder to spread information. And bad news travels extremely much faster that good ones." And then she said : "There, in your sentence : 'the world's always been like this'. The current generation are seeing History return to its usual, millienia old course, that is never ended but was just on Pause for 75 years, and they're not willing to make their peace with that." To which I could only reply flabbergasted : "Holy sh-..."

  42. I work in tech, sometimes at a reasonably high level, and I really enjoyed your stories of talking with tech people -- that they don't know any history, and continually prefer to contemplate (worship?) the next new thing. It perplexes me. I end up concluding that intellect can get caught in useless cycles, and a bit less intellect vis-a-vis reflection increases the chance of finding actual wisdom, which makes life better, in whatever era.
    161
  43. I just finished this book called "Generation of Sociopaths." TL;DR he blames the boomers. "Who we are comparing ourselves to" I think the weird thing in American culture is that we all have to pretend that the opportunities and functional society that the boomers grew up in is still the present. If we could all just admit that America used to have opportunity but doesn't now it would be so much better than the pretending.

  44. 5:51 I am an insane WWI buff and know a lot about the war and usually spend my disposable income on relics and books related to WWI which I gained a fondness of after trying to emulate to honor my history buff friend who died of suicide. That's not the point nor a flex, one particular obsession of mine has been researching my great-great-grandfather and his struggles as a doughboy in WWI. He was referenced very peripherally when I was a kid by my family but I was close with all his daughters, fuck the last time said daughters were with each other was probably with me. Also not the point. I have read that he with his company saw the first death in his regiment and a sniper, and how he had to help take a German machine gun nest. He sadly died of a very rare and painful disease before WWII ended. He kept an incredibly dark and sad poem in his bible when my family gave me his belongings 100 years later. Learning about him in many ways has made me a lot better of a person, I can't explain why or how but I feel like learning about him, his struggle, and his life, has made profound impacts on my life. I think it's because I became incredibly humble along with other of life's circumstances.

  45. You know the sound and feeling when you sit in a reed chair that's seen too many summers? That slow snapping, while you descend deeper into the seat? Eventually the snapping and popping speeds up, and before you know it, you're on the floor. That, is our world right now. That, is America right now, especially now on May 30th, 2024. The chair is breaking, gentlemen.

  46. This guy’s channel is unique; incredible intellect, knowledge of multiple disciplines and not just history, combined with a will to make change. You are much appreciated, sir.
    156
  47. I’m glad there is someone who can explain their views well, and who also has reasonable views. I hope to make videos like this someday.
    154
  48. I know we hear Karen and think "US HR woman". But where Rudyard's analysis purely and deeply applies is to the EU which is ravaging European nations hardcore without self-awareness or any accountability. It's not just the power of bureaucracy, but their culture of low-information monoculture.
    153
  49. Rudyard you have a serious talent at making me feel irreversibly blackpilled whenever I see a video title of yours, and then feel whitepilled by the end (but also with an urgent sense of responsibility to go along with it to do something about it). Good stuff man.
    153
  50. Congrats you just gave me an idea for my homework. In 3 years I will release a game based on things you said in this video as my graduation project. If this game gets me an AA I will donate 1% of my first paycheck to you
