Haven't been keeping up with Rudy (Whatifalthist), but he has been posting videos with titles begging to be demonitized:
I for one just don’t like some of the theatrics Sparty pulls (as if the Holocaust really needs more dramatization) and to me not quoting sources as much as possible on a topic like genocide in WWII is criminal. Indi did it all the time with the original WWI series
Not watching the video because I hate overly dramatic discussions of war crimes, but does he talk at all about russian rapes, or is that such a no shit that you didnt include it.
the algorithm recommends channels with polls better than other channels for some fucking reason
I doubt they would be willing to give USSR pass especially after current Russo-Ukrainan war. But I think they will make dedicated episode to Soviet war crimes.
Mostly in the second half of the video, the soviet crimes section is decent enough, Sparty also pulls out a pretty damning quote from Stalin:
121-41=80
Fun fact: Emmet Till's dad was executed for multiple rapes in Italy
That is a fun fact.
I think its as simple as you're putting out more content and filling more of youtube's space, so you're getting more clicks/views, ergo you get pushed more because you're engaging with users.
John Brown was a violent, retarded domestic terrorist and the people who praise him should never be taken seriously or listened to. The fact this failed walking guide gets so many people to listen to his low IQ takes is proof that any idea of actual knowledge being transmitted by the internet is a horribly underestimated lie. The fact they think they would be Confederate/Southerner slaughtering heroes is laughable considering that during the Civil War, slavery and its political issues were not all that important to the troops and majority of the population on either side. These people would have been fence sitters at best, and ambivalent entirely at worst. Only through the anonymity of the internet can people like this jerk off about how morally right they are in a 21st century lens.
correction: he was a based violent retarded domestic terrorist
I've always wondered how Atatürk would react upon seeing modern day Turkey and whatever the fuck Erdogan is doing.
I watched the Christianity video and man there's some bizarre and flat out wrong claims, especially from someone calling himself a Christian.
Turkey had a tradition of military forces staging coups whenever a president starting becoming too Ottoman, and it certainly seemed to be a central component of preserving Kemalism. The failure of the coup against Erdogan means that Kemalism is functionally dead.
based atatürk
many are overlooking the fact that the military was essentially controlled by an islamic cult (Fethullahists) after the Ergenekon ordeal. It was basically one school of islamism going after the other in a powergrab after they collaborated on extinguishing the secularists. Also the opposition (CHP) is also is incompetent/complacent/corrupt/infiltrated so they just let Erdog do whatever he wants anyways.
This one is particularly funny because this line of thinking is straight from Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and there it was used to portray Christians badly by saying that it was actually pagan Romans that were forward thinking and scientific.
If I remember right Rudy's point was Christianity flourished only with the influx of warrior blood from the Nordic countries. I dunno. It's a mishmash of fringe theories from all over the place. Some of them I at least recognize, they're dumb, but I've seen them before. The Eucharist as LSD is a new one to me though.
