How am I supposed to know who this is?I think maybe whatifalthis?

>>18714647Most browns in the US don’t care about history beyond their specific ethnic grievances and don’t get me started on the blacks and their bizzare alt history fantasies

>>18714925...but did he learn his magicks from females?
>>18714967People do this all the time on every fucking board. Like on retro video games, they’ll post a screen cap of some game with no context and ask about people’s opinions.
>>18714926>grievances>bizzare alt history fantasiesThe sole purpose of theme is to have a foundation of reality based on lies, then lies will support lies (be seen as truths) and truths will not support the lies (be rejected because it collapses their reality).This is why blacks vote inline with Jews 80%+ of the time, they have the same "G-d" (anti-Truth, anti-Life, anti-Way)...you know, like you and worshipping Chemosh (Ba'al, Moloch, "ancient Egyptian gods", etc).The name is a idol-bait, the end result destination is the same.
>>18714962How well travelled is he by now? Seems like he’s been to most places he speaks on, not to mention his turkey prediction would be hard to go against on demographics alone when compared to Eastern Europe and the balkans, as they will have more military aged men in the coming decades and then whole area from turkey to polands borders combined when it comes to their military aged men as stated by Peter zeihan which is where I think rudyard got the idea from
>>18714990Moloch wasn’t a god, it was a ritual involving child sacrifice
>>18715046What does he say about Turkey?
>>18715048>Moloch wasn’t a godThe Pharisee Jonathan Pageau agrees with you, and calls the blood sacrifice of Abel as "proper", as did the Sadducees and Pharisees, and Judas.>it was a ritual involving child sacrificeOh, well in that case, Bless'ed is he who dashes babies against stones, Mr. Clancey.
>>18715048>Moloch wasn’t a god"It was a metaphore." - PageauSee, theyre not sacrificing babies to the Moloch, theyre dancing, and singing, and drinking! Its just a "little fun".
>>18714571It's so funny that for white people their champions of the white race are dudes like this, look at whatifalthis, he looks like a pathetic beta male. whites unironically think they are chads and paint themselves as chads in memes yet they are so ugly and pathetic looking irl HAHAHAH
>>18715048Now its just "Geopolitical policy."Abortion is "Health care."Gang rapes and murders are "Cultural misunderstanding.">>18714990>foundation of reality based on lies, then lies will support lies (be seen as truths)
>>18715107It wasn’t a metaphor, the actual ritual of child sacrifice was called Moloch.
>>18715119>child sacrifice was called Moloch>Mr."I believe the olde gods"...I find it fascinating people worship gods they dont even believe in...almost like theyre a "non-practicing Atheist".They cant understand the god came before the name, or the ritual, or the people...it changes names, called different things around the world and across time, but the function, the results, remain the same.
>>18715093Essentially that it will be the the dominant power in the Middle East, and Eastern Europe/balkan area, basically I kind of neoottoman revival
>>18714573No that would be Odin telling him to list every woman he’s ever masterbaited to
>>18715135Quasimodo spoke of this
>>18715146Oh word? IIRC the 'Next 100 Years' guy George Friedman said the same thing. They really have all the ingredients to do it.
>>18715108Looking at the list of nations that left, that post is heckin' problematic and raycist.

>>18714571>>18714573>>18714876>>18714904>>18714921Mesoanon here, I'll give him this, he at least went out of his way to read about the topic when he did videos on it. Now, the sources he read were quite outdated and questionable, and as a result his videos had a fair amount of issues, but realistically I felt he gave a shit about what he was talking about and put more effort into looking into the topic then a lot of generalist Youtubers do when covering Mesoamerica, and I'm not really sure I'd say his video is any more inaccurate then how most people cover the topicThis is def more of a "the bar being so low it's underground" sort of thing then anything else, thoOne of my friends (who helped write videos for like half the channels I list below) also spoke to him over DMs a few times to discuss some Mesoamerican stuff/his videos, and apparently he's at least polite and civil in those conversations, though it never crystalized into him helping him cover the topicThe only channels that I felt have really handled the region well are Ancient Americas, AztlanHistorian, ArtsQ, Matt Gush, DJPeachCobbler, Stefan Milo (for his Tlaxcallan video), MrLaserHistory (for his sacrifice video), and I'll give conditional or partial recs to EmperorTigerstar, Kings & Generals, InvictaHistory, CosmicChaaya, NativeLang, ExtraHistory, Lockstin&Gnoggin (for his Tlalocmon video, the other vids he's mentioned the region in not so much), CartoonUniverse (for her Onyx Equinox video), ReligionForBreakfast, Esoterica, and Nota Bene (for his "Olmèques, Mayas, Teotihuacan, Aztèques, c'est quoi la différence ?" video)Also I haven't watched many of their vids yet but David Miano and Ed Barnhart's are probably good (though Ed has a bad habit of getting stuff wrong about Central Mexico and the Aztec sometimes in the interviews I've seen with him, which makes some sense, I guess, in that his specialty is the Maya, but he's still an actual Mesoamerican archeologist, so I expect better)
>>18715912I would like to recommend to you Fall of Civilisations.The Sumer and Assyria episodes were really good.
>>18716612I got through like half (maybe even just half of part 1?) of their Aztec episode and got frustrated and stopped. IIRC I intended to finish it later but never got around to itIt's not like Fall of Civilizations did a particularly horrible job, but it wasn't more in depth or accurate then how most people handle the topic, and given the premise of their Podcast series/channel, which is about the "fall of civilizations", I felt that them getting the details wrong about why and how the Aztec fell were particularly egregious. Like, when NativLang gets some details wrong about how the Aztec fell in his videos about Nahuatl, it's not too big an issue because the video is primarily about linguistics and that historical tangent is just a small part of the video. But if your entire video is about how the Aztec fell, especially if it's over an hour long I expect you to get that rightMy specific issues with his Aztec episode(s), for the portions I saw, were:1. Using Danza Aztecas performers as background footage.The dance and outfits used in the Danza has almost nothing to do with actual Prehispanic dances or fashion, as it was heavily transformed and influenced by (inaccurate) pop culture depictions of Mesoamerica over the past century (see pic). Even if you go back before that happened, the Concheros dances it developed out of were from certain Chichimeca communities, not Nahua ones, so what little legit indigenous origins the Danza has aren't even from any group we'd consider "Aztec" even under a loose definition of the termI would have not used any actual on-location video footage or b-roll at all in the video, and rather used artistic reconstructions with some video editing and compositing work to do this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_scrolling with them. If they were committed to live action video footage, then they at least should have used video of actual Nahua communities who still wear huipil and quechquemitl and such, not Danza performers1/?
>>18715912Hey mesoanon, how do you feel about Apocalypto? I recently watched it again and I was wondering how it checks out on your end.
>>18714571rudyard wouldn't get laughed at as hard if he wasn't ugly tbqh
>>18716683Interesting reply thankyou>but it wasn't more in depth or accurate then how most people handle the topiceh I do think the episodes are a broad look at the civilisations/groups/cultures, just with a bit more spent on the decline than you would have in something that goes out of its way to call itself an overview.So that being the case, as opposed to an hour-long thing that came into it with the idea that the listener already knew what was what and who was who, that could very much focus on the topic the name of the series indicates, I can understand a lack of depth when coming at it from..>who were they, what were they and where did they go?which seems to be what this Cooper lad is aiming for.Very little excuse for a lack of accuracy however. In his Easter Island episode he had people (this is from memory so I might be wrong) actually on Rapa Nui singing their traditional folk songs in that traditional style. I don't know if those songs, words, instruments etc were a good representation of what it would have been like at the time the show speaks of, but Cooper put a good amount of effort in to get that I would imagine.I'll check out some of the names you posted. Kings & Generals isn't for me, but Justin @ Esoterica is always an interesting listen. Not a clue about the rest so I'll have a go.
>>18714571What a hauno
>>18714571He is actually pretty good for YouTube commenter sadly has some conservative bias stopping him from going full truthnuke and I feel like he is too easily to manipulate like that Breadtube guys just from another side of the spectrum
>>18717644I can't listen to Esoterica because of his annoying lisp. I share his name too, and I've noticed a pattern where I don't get along with other Justins.
>>18714962feminists are indeed bad. I'm probably at least 20 years older than Rudyard and I could've told you that back in like, 1997.
>>18716683>>187166122. They brought up the omens prophesizing the arrival of Cortes and Moctezuma II's superstitious dread, despite the fact that these are almost certainly examples of early colonial revisionism. Now, apparently, in Part 2 of the Aztec episode(s), they later explain that indeed these omens probably never happened, but from what I remember about the part I got to, they were brought up pretty uncritically: Even if they break down why they were probably a myth later in more depth, I still would have stressed in this earlier mention that they likely never happened.I also doubt that when they break down how the omens were myths later on, if they also noted how actually Moctezuma II's actions as we know them make a great deal of sense within the context of Mesoamerican politics, considering...3. They repeat the common misconception that Cortes got allies against the Mexica of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan due to them doing sacrifices/demanding victims from conquered subjects/their rule being oppressive etc. This is THE biggest problem, as it fundamentally mischaracterizes the actual political dynamics involved, and those dynamics dictated how local Mesoamerican kings, officials etc interacted with both the Conquistadors and Aztec diplomats, tax officials etc over the course of 1519-1521, which by extension determined how and why basically everything played out the way it did in the end, as their choices influenced things more than the choices made by Cortes.On that note, another issue with the episode(s) was that at least from the parts I saw, they focused a lot on what Cortes did, only a bit on what Moctezuma was doing, and I don't recall if Velazquez came up (I didn't get far enough into it to see if Narvaez was mentioned, but I assume he probably is at least a bit), but Ixtlilxochitl II, Xicotencatl I and II, Xicomecoatl, etc aren't mentioned at all (at least not in the parts I got through)2/?
>>18718336>these are almost certainly examples of early colonial revisionismproofs?
Bumping because I need to finish my dump but I'm busy right now
>>18714571Hey I dont know who that is & I dont care but you asked about history.I recently read one of the best history books Ive ever read; "Sapiens". I highly recommend it. I think give it 2 chapters to know if you like it or not. Its about the history of humans from beginning to now.Its written by a jew if that matters. I also recommend the E-book version.
>>18714571Him going on like nothing happened after publicly humiliating himself while under the influence of drugs is weirdly inspirational.
>>18716612There was a video where this mother fucker literally began at the dawn of time for "context" and I just couldn't take it anymoreHe takes fucking FOREVER to get to the actual fall
>>18720184Most people have a psychotic break eventually, you begin to realize that after you have one.
>>18714573The vine of the dead
>>18714571>extremely shallow overview of a topic>video is 80% filled with "interesting" popsci trivia>after watching you are not any more educated on the topic
>>18720487He's really good at reading Wikipedia articles to people I'll give him that
>>18714571Why does he look like a monkey?
>>18720188I think that because the show is targetted at people with a somewhat basic level of historical knowledge (or like me having a lack of knowledge about Mesoamerica) so it has to lay the rest out before getting to the fall.It is a shame because his prose and production is good, and the info actually gets into my head (which I typically find hard with audio) so would lend itself toward something with a bit more depth. If you have any recommendations for anything similar I will 100% try it out.
He’s not bad for a 24 year old, he should keep traveling and reading, just feel Elon theil network ruined his worldview in a way and his right/left slop nuked his main channel
>>18714571who?
