Patriotic black woman and I am sick of being called an extremist for believing in Biblical values... God and Country.
White male, I've got your back..
You are not the extremist. The people calling you extremist are.
Same feelings from a black American woman here! Let's take back our land from these radical extremists!
God bless our Nation. Be merciful, Lord.
God bless you - you're not alone! ❤
If Larry Elder is any indication, you’re guilty of white supremacy as well.
It's a sad time for a nation when being patriotic, virtuous, hard-working and God-fearing become a "radical backlash." We really have fallen far in the last decades in our land. May GOD help us.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree is not backlash to recover from a virus like socialism and communism where not just the majority rules the world aka democracy but the tyranny of the few supported by even fewer. But accepted by many because of fear of being punished.
It's the natural result of the "chump effect". There was a good article on the chump effect a few years ago that should be findable with a quick search.
Uh-oh! Somebody let Tony out of the padded room again....
Society is a pendulum. Hopefully we are at the end of the leftward swing because we sure swung pretty high. The return swing is going to be interesting.
True story, I worked "used book sales" and there was always one guy who always came and brought up all the history books. Finally one day I got up my courage and asked him why he was buying all the history books. He said to me I'm buying all the history books because they're trying to rewrite history. 🤷
My wife says I hoard books. Guilty as charged. The view of history from 19th century historians is very different than today. It is time for a new bookcase but I don't have anywhere to put it. Its a problem.
Keep your old encyclopedias
@@imjustaguy8232 these days we should preserve biology books too.
Yep. I do the same thing.
I buy old history books. And I often tell my son to go get a dictionary published before 1950 if he wants to know what a word actually means.
I am an angry old man…and I stand with the angry young men! We must resist it all. 🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
Glad at least some of your generation have our backs.
You're just angry losers. Keep your way of life to yourselves
"man" is a broad terminology so I think you might want to change it.
The only specification you gave is "being angry", which might make your statement even less appealing.
Keep turning the other cheek, typing out proud rhetoric online, and watching 100 year old churches get subjected to arson and write angry letters about how 8 year old kids should not be taught about homosexual butt sex.
It’s the Christian way… 😅
@@yanx4797 nah, he nailed it. Developing "man" into a broad category qualifies you for entrance into a mental institution.
--I'm-- I was a Democrat for 30 years. But thanks to being “white,” a patriot, believing in racial equality, hating censorship, and other “sins” I’m now considered a “right wing fascist” by the current Democratic Party. There are many like me. So by all means bring on the “right wing backlash.”
*Trump 2024*
Dude, same. And what's more...I'm gay. I'll never vote for a democrat again. Even if one pops up that says and does EVERYTHING right (in my mind) I would never vote for HIM/HER (don't even get me started on trans and pronouns) because I'm not handing that party of nutbags and crybullies a single solitary ounce of power ever again.
Welcome to the club. Grew up in Union family. Military family. Now a stranger to the Democrats.
Do you believe in the uniparty?
Trump is controlled opposition.
I’m a lesbian Hispanic and a conservative. My success and survival is based on my ability to see details and give each detail the proper weight (which has proven 100% accurate my entire life, I’m 55). I will warn you against picking any one side, watch their patterns (the small details) and you will see the truth of who they are and it’s not for “we the people “.
Welcome to the club. The democrats of old are gone there’s no place for us in that party anymore
Military guy here, a bit older too. I once considered myself democrat for a few years. At some point, the party stopped believing in responsibility, work ethic, racial equality, and the 1st amendment. I got told in my college class "you must be a Trump supporter" just talking about resilience and responsibility. This was in sociology, where we are supposed to have these conversations! It even went so far that the professor forced me to be quiet because I was disturbing another student... WTF happened?
In an investment class in 2019, we were asked to state one thing we would do if we were in charge. I said, “Return to either the gold standard or other hard commodity.” The class sat stunned and the instructor laughed and said, “Well, alrighty then, next….” That identified me as a Trump voter in their eyes. Pirates and thieves are raiding our ship, trying to set it on fire, while we pump money and soon, our children’s’ blood, into border disputes in Eastern Europe we caused by violating the Minsk Accord.
There is not going to be a “civil war” if Trump gets elected. The Dems will just increase their brattiness and Trump won’t hesitate to tamp it down this time correctly, as allowed by our Constitution and applicable guidelines for quelling street violence on the population.
Embrace it and lead us young men to absolute victory over the forces of evil!
I hated this about school. Teachers sometimes try to entice discussion and want you to spark controversy, but it's just never worth it. Even if the teacher is cool, the students will judge you harshly if you step out of line.
One time, a teacher wanted to comment on the illegal immigration problem. (This was back in like 2010.) She basically asked the class "who do you think of when you hear 'illegal immigrant?'" Very loaded question, I know. The class was silent for several minutes while she continued basically begging for anyone to say any answer. So I finally (in a sarcastic tone) said "Mexicans" because she wouldn't stfu.
The class HATED me for it even though the teacher said I was correct, explained her position, and was even Mexican herself!!! Like wtf??? Why are people getting mad at me??? SHE wanted that answer and I was JOKING!!!
Men should exit school environments are quickly as possible. I never went to college and by the time my peers graduated I had founded my first company and had over 15 employees working for me. School is not a good environment for men to thrive in.
@pamelamehl5668 sorry but gold standard is a baaaad idea
My dad was born in 1931 and lived until 2010. In my opinion, this is the span of the greatest, quickest change in history. Although the TV was invented by then, it was only for the most wealthy. So he went from no TV, listening to the radio to having his own smart phone and learning text in his lifetime. But the one thing he always told us is “Times may change, but people never do”. The “ills of the west” that leftists complain about has been a common thread throughout man’s history, like Fighting to take over other peoples land, it’s not only a “west” thing. But they are rewriting history to make white people the historical “bad guys”.
Why is resistance to corruption now being considered backlash? I am a believer, a patriot, a veteran, a Gold Star father and Cheyenne. I love my God, country and fellow Americans. Why is this so wrong in our world?
It is not wrong. Only fools think their way is the only way.
God bless you, sir
@@kcck7588 Thank you friend.
A part of my brain refuses to believe that this man is 22. He looks 28-30 and has the mind and knowledge of a 50 year old. I’d love to meet him, I’ve never seen anyone this passionate about history outside of my family.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing! I recently discovered his channel, and love how he really gets me thinking about things....
So true. I love his videos but sometimes he goes much too fast. I never expected he was only 22 but it's nice to put a face to a voice.
Very bright guy & it just so happen my family loves History also.
My teen grandson, a plebe at a small US Military Academy even takes it beyond his Pawpaw.
@@gerryconstant4914 Ιt’s a history nerd thing. Happens to me too. Once you spend too much time reading into it, you forget that they’re not obvious things for other people, so you can find yourself fast tracking through things others don’t know about and they can get lost.
Dilusional
@@alexman378Not to mention that you also are trying to get people to understand a million variables.
Don't make a decision before you have studied all its aspects ! Don't make a decision when you are angry !
An iron company manager, while touring the company noticed a young man leaning against the wall and doing nothing.
He approached him and said softly, "How much is your salary?"
The young man was calm and surprised by the personal question.
He answered, "2500 dollars a month, sir. Why?"
Without an answer, the manager took out his wallet and took out 2500 dollars in cash, and gave it to the young man (as a termination of service).
Then he said, "I pay people here to work, not to stand around. Now, this is your monthly salary in advance. Get out and don't come back, and I don't want a discussion!!"
The young man was expelled from the factory
The manager looked at the rest of the workers and said in a threatening tone,
"This applies to everyone in this company , whoever does not work, we immediately terminate his contract."
One of the employees approached the manager and asked him:
"Do you know who the guy you fired?"
The manager replied, "No."
"He does not work here, sir. He's a pizza delivery man."
Unintended consequences always happen because our brains are not capable of noticing, considering or predicting everything that can be affected. Especially when you consider that each and every person knows, within 6 degrees of separation every other person. ie my friends and family have friends and family that are unrelated or don't know me - those people have friends & family . . . If you know me you are 2 degrees separated from some people in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria as well as those I know here in Oregon. And it's likely you can find a relationship between 2 specific people within 3 connections.
Imagine carrying $2500 cash in your wallet 😅😅
Doesn't matter, the owner is painting a picture of what he expects; the others are dumb ass if they don't pay attention.
I thought the fired person was going to be someone who had to be ready at a moment's notice to perform some highly critical task that only happens occasionally.
I nailed it.
@@davidweyer79with the way inflation is going...
I've been saying BACKLASH for awhile now because that's what it is. Call it by any name you want but people have had enough. When Argentina and Holland make it known they've had it and Ireland,and UK are getting very fed up,Canada and America are showing how disgusted we are and restlessness only lasts so long before it's all out street fighting.
Call it what you want..... far right or right so far.
Honk Honk. Those trucker protests were held in -30 degree weather. All those people _really_ wanted to be there. Outside. For hours. That's a lot of civilizational energy to invest in a public gathering.
Canada is a lost cause. Too many sheep and cucks. Honestly their only chance is if the so called 'backlash' involves the US running off the communist color revolution crowd.
Far too many still do not understand who our True Enemies really are. It is not about Right vs Left. The International Banksters, the Mega Corporations and the Globalist New World Order controls every side. Even the Alt Right Influencers at the higher levels. The Globalists are Intentionally attempting to Destroy Western Civilization to Force the Great Reset. They must Destroy Everything before the can Build Back Better. That means destroying our Economy, our Financial System, Our Food Production, Energy Production, our Ability to Travel, and our very ability to continue our way of life. They need to make us completely reliant on Big Government just to survive. The Endgame is Depopulation of half the world's population and the Enslavement of the rest who manage to survive. It is Not Communism. It is far worse. TECHNOCRACY...
I'm just stealing your Rizzoli here;
Once Trump is elected, I am calculating your Right Wing Fury will boil over into actual, factual, not-blowing-smoke fascism.
I _know_ what happens in a religiously charge right wing authoritarian state.
Whether I'm a disciple or not, I will fight that just as hard as this.
Add the Dominican Republic to the list. Other Latin American countries like Colombia too.
“The second people killed in a revolution are the revolutionaries.”
A truth borne out by history, over and over again.
If you tell a person they're a monster enough. Eventually they will act like it too.
The Treaty of Versailles provided the political landscape for Hitler.
The both of you are spot on
Hitlers whole reason for war was the distrust the public saw in the media and institutions of the time. We're seeing that on a new digital scale now.
Oh I thought WW2 happened in a Vacuum @@albertchurchill4845
If you continue calling someone a monster and TREATING them as such, then yes, eventually they'll act as one.
Finally Nick's questions drew Rud to finally address the pattern of elites inviting the barbarians in side the gates to do their dirty work, and the hostoric consequences.
Hope not, but I think they’re going to put them in our military and that’s the danger.
40:48 just as with labor and breeding, the Leftist-Globalist will look to their immigrants as their cannon fodder, still masculine enough to be soldiers, and use them as their weapons
Open borders, migrants, and even senators advocating passing law to hire migrants for doctors, cops, and frontline soldiers. Already happen in 2023.

Daaamn.. at 22 years of age, Mr. Lynch is displaying the thoughtfulness and wisdom of a Thomas Sowell. Definitely subbing his channel.
NGL this is the most out of pocket emoji I've ever seen
This was possibly the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. Being in my early 30’s, i love seeing younger men this educated on real world topics. This was awesome
When duty and virtue become synonymous with evil, you know the world we live in is an evil one indeed.
When you have evil leftists advocating pointless and unmerited sacrifice (as we have seen in the west) truly "duty" does become evil in that context.
Well, they haven't. I come to these far-right places to see what other people think and I'm baffled. Who devalues duty and virtue?
The people out there espousing this behave more hatefully than any other group I’ve ever seen. It’s hate pure and simple and it freaks out MOST NORMAL PEOPLE. If you think this is popular you’re stuck in you own echo chamber. This culture of kooky, bitter, resentful”traditionalists” is repellent to most Americans.

I was an independent that after 9/11 started to look at what is really happening... I soon realized that our elected Representatives on both sides were no longer representing "We The People"... Years of research and many rabbit holes I can see that our Representatives in our Constitutional Republic have done an end around to avoid Constitutional constraints that have stymied the voice of the many... After continuous Dog and Pony Shows with no changes in the grand scheme of every day issues and nobody being held accountable... I believe we are at the point of Captured Government...
Flowers for Algernon helps describe the phenomenon he’s talking about where educated people are so sure of themselves and feel smarter than others when they only know one narrow field of specialty. We saw this during Covid, when everyone was worshipping these bought and paid for government scientists who work in offices and go to expensive dinners, yet not listening to wastewater experts who not only could predict a surge of the virus, also knew how to kill and contain any virus because that’s what we do every single day. It’s madness, someone reads ten books and thinks the Middle Ages were dark, and an uneducated sewer worker like me reads dozens of history books about the same topic and has a completely different understanding.
Man, how fast things have changed. 10 years ago I would have never imagined myself sitting here on UA-cam listening to this conversation.
I miss old UA-cam
Likewise... I cut the (cable TV) cord a couple years ago. MSM has devolved itself into total garbage & talking-point snippets buttressed betwixt as many commercial breaks as possible. I like the relaxed nature of long format discussions covering topics such as this on YT.

There's zero doubt in my mind that gun confiscation would lead to fighting in the streets. If they want to confiscate guns they're gonna have to wait a couple of generations.
I think you're wrong. Sure a few sporadic outbursts would happen but it would be quickly crushed while disorganized. Once others see that they'll become far less willing to say no and fight back. Look how quickly people settled down after Jan 6th. Hope I'm wrong but really doubt I am.

My father, who would be 95 today, taught me one very important lesson. True wisdom comes when you understand how much you can never know. And the humility that comes with understanding how small you really are.

Not only are his videos incredibly intelligent and well-researched but you can tell that he really does remove himself and look at things objectively, so that he can come to the most accurate conclusions
"The measure of the state's success is that the word 'anarchy' frightens people, while the word 'state' does not." -- Joseph Sobran
Miss Sobran and his writing, the Wanderer was never the same after his passing.
Not... really? Anarchy is objectively worse than many of the worst tyrannies ever created or imagined. Luckily though, anarchy is just a transition that leads back to order and the "state".
A mistrust of anarchy is wise, looking around at people and realizing that you wouldn't want them to be free to impose their will upon you.

I'm addicted to Whatifalthist. Glad to see you both collaborating. Keep up the great work both of you!
Great conversation. I'm going to have to listen to it all over again. One thing I suspect happening, when a group learns they are incapable of handling matters themselves ... they will use imposters, and they will stir the pot. They will plant seeds of discord.
I have nothing but immense respect for Rudyard. He's incredible, especially for his age. His logical reasoning and pattern recognition is so advanced. He's also just getting started. People like him don't ever stop learning and developing. At this level at this age, I can see him being a good counter for Henry Kissinger's sabotage of the world for the next 60+ years.
A young Thomas Sowell.
TFM is the greatest mind of this century. He's correctly identified the problem and the solution. He's been evicted from the mainstream. Rudyard gets very close, though.
@@Mark11722 TFM? Maybe I'm just not remembering properly, but I can't identify that person from initials.

Whatisalthist is my favorite UA-cam channel. When Rudger uploads, I listen.
Dude. I've never watched any of Nick's videos before. But this guest is just on some other level of intellect.
Which completely explains our wide open boarders.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. Rudyard Lynch is a remarkable thinker. I've watched some episodes of whatifalthist and found them compelling. I can't believe he's 22. Glad to have him on my side. I'm constantly marveling at the atmosphere of unreality that has taken over the educated ranks of society. We see it in the disastrous misdiagnosis of social problems, e.g., BLM/police are. the problem; not prosecuting crime, from shoplifting to violent crime; the green insanity that doesn't understand that prosperity is based on abundant cheap energy; all the gender stuff with confusion about what a woman is or the idea that heterosexuality isn't normal for a sexually dimorphous species; the complete disjunction between sexuality and demographic reality; the cluelessness about the character of a liberal society or the virtue of its citizens.
I applied, These rules to my children, I never made a discipline in Anger, When they wanted my Attention when I was busy, I told then Wait till I am done doing my work at this time, then you will have my full Attention. Then I followed up on that Attention when I was done with my Work. I found out a lot of times with young Children it was just young Emotions and by the time I gave my full Attention, they had forgot what was so important. That being said as I took the Time every time, I found they just need my Attention because they were hurt Emotionally and need my Affection. As they grew up I seen them taking the time to get a handle on the situation and checking their Emotions in any Situation.
Extremely smart guy. His videos are worth your time.
I discovered this young man when he quoted Nietzsche and other philosophers of our age and before. It was fascinating to hear someone of his age have a realistic and practical understanding of today's society based off of the lessons from history. I had always thought that he was much older with degrees in history and philosophy.
Nick, it used to be a common tactic to take an adversary's children and raise them in your ideology/nation and then send the back to rule...Sound familiar? We even pay a ransom now called tuition 😅
Whatifalthist is such a great channel! I'm always blown away by their well formulated analysis
Very enjoyable video/pod. I feel for my Gen Z grandson who is at a Military Academy who's portion of his generation will have to take back our country from the "lunatic fringe".
Lol, your NPC grandson will be one of the Zogs that will be serving the 'lunatic fringe'
The military will never make Kevlar pockets
The military will be betrayed and lied to, and used against "manufactured threats".
I've watched quite a few of the WhatifAltHist videos and found them to be informative and fun! Keep up the great work, Nick and Rudyard!
This kid is a liberal idiot that is well spoken. Calling him an intellectual is so wrong.
Rudyard and Whitney Webb would be a great conversation for sure! They both give me hope that the younger generation.
Prayers for the USA 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤️
And indeed for the entire planet 🌍
Thankful to have you in our state and representing us. Thank you Nick.
Where is Nick from?
A university degree USED to be for people who were going to be managers, professors or engineers. Only 7-10% of men & women had them.
That's why it was worth the time & money to get.
Now a degree is a nearly useless credential for most people. Most degrees don't teach you to produce or manage anything.
I heard about a "$100K+ manager" who got pissed when it was pointed out that her whole job used to be "other assigned work" to a secretary.
Whatever is common is not valuable.
Very impressive guest Nick👍🏻 We need that type of mind. He’s a natural, not college procured and that’s a bonus. He probably has genius level IQ.
Rudyard Lynch has been a favorite of mine for years now. It was a great show, Nick; thank you for bringing him on.🎖
I enjoyed this conversation.
What I find most surprising was this 22 year old man.
He has a level of knowledge and analysis beyond his years & life experience.
I had people assuming I was 35 back when I was 23.
Made my dating life a living hell because everybody thought I was an old man creeping on young girls. 🙄
@@rickoshay5525 I had a similar problem. Caused me problems a few times
This guy is not smart. His analysis is all wrong. His problem....most likely an only child and his parents coddled him and told him he was smart (he is not). No friends growing up and spent his time hanging out with adults online. He is so wrong on so many issues.
@@SBphd this is the first time I've heard this guy, but his analysis on this video is fairly accurate.
I guess that makes you a troll.
@@SBphdJust wow.. Do you even realise that your mind made up that story and you actually felt “confident” enough to share it online? Do you also realise you haven’t provided any arguments whatsoever to support this fantasy which your brain cooked? My advice for people like you: Make sure you’re connected to your brain before you open your mouth 😏
I find Nick’s channel not only amusing but it sends me down the rabbit hole by thinking about what he says and gaming it. He asks great questions he speaks with conviction (something Democrats find hard) and his strength of character is something we need more of in our homes and in Congress. I sincerely hope he eventually finds his audience nationally and runs for President. Nick would rid the country of the Deep State with logic and truth and they wouldn’t know what hit them! Reading the Kash Patel book on the Deep State and he names names. It’s not a theory!
What a great and thought provoking conversation. I met an old retired veteran that volunteers at the airport to minister to and help new recruits. I was waiting at the arrivals exit for friends and watched this very nice gentleman talk to and pray with about 25 new recruits. They were overwhelming Hispanic, which is fine. It was very inspiring to watch this veteran help the new recruits. Anyways, I spoke at length with him. He said that the vast majority of new recruits are Hispanic immigrants that the military receives with the promise of accelerated citizenship of I believe with either 2 or 3 yrs service. So with the chaos at the border and what he said, this falls exactly in line with this discussion. I do believe Hispanics have conservative values, so how that could play out under military control of leftists, who knows...
@chrismenard8069 Great comment. I’m a Hispanic vet, most of us believe the same constitutional principles that other demographics do. I am an American Patriot who believes in upholding the oath of the constitution, I just happen to be of hispanic heritage. America has given to us prosperity and the upward mobility, God bless this great nation.
“The noblest fate that a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war’s desolation.”
Im a big fan of both these gentlemen and its awesome to see yall having a conversation. Hello from North Texas!
My first time seeing Nick soon as I saw he was talking with Rudy, I'm checking it out
Please, sirs, may I have some more? This is the best conversation I’ve heard in 20 years.
You must not get out much Lol
His channel is very very good, I first saw it back when he made the "What if the confederacy won?" video a good while ago, and he's just gotten smarter and better since. I highly recommend it to anyone that likes facts and can handle truth about things.
It's called Critical Thinking and I can't believe it's become a Unique skill!
It is the right attitude, young man, and you have it. I consider my education as what I went out and learned for myself AFTER college. College was just to give me the necessary tools to be able to learn. Every book I read, I call the exercise: "curing my own ignorance." I follow up that thought with the realization that I will never have it fully cured.
Self honesty about what one does NOT know is the key. But the holders of this key are rare.
Rudyard is a bright one. Very few pretentious answers, yet lots of interesting questions.
Found him a couple of years ago, he's pretty amazing for 22 yo. Yay Nick !
We have been in a "cold" civil war for about 15 years. Let's hope it doesn't get hot.
Much much better if the USA divides up, say a long political ideological lines, socialist versus capitalist. Both sides will be happier. Many countries have divided up. After the fall of the Soviet Union, I think about 12 new nations emerged, practically all of them better off than the original conglomeration. Czechoslovakia broke up into Czech Republic and Slovakia. Both nations are happier without the other. It’s a good thing. Smaller is better
@@steveperreira5850 -- I like the way you are thinking and don't disagree in principle...........but the states in the USA is not as "homogenous" as those Soviet bloc nations were. We have deep blue cities inside blood red states + cherry red counties inside bright blue states. Our country has experienced tons of internal migration over the years - possibly more than any other nation in the world.
Where do the lines get drawn? Who gets to stay and who gets to leave? We're from Virginia and aren't the ones who ruined the commonwealth. It's been damaged largely by those who moved into the state over the past 15 to 20 years. Do we fight a war to force them out? Do they get to force us to go elsewhere (we're already considering that anyway)? Lots of things to consider!
Assuming - for the sake of argument - that you could get the "red" states and "blue" states to have a peaceful divorce and go their separate ways..........what happens when the poorly-managed blue states collapse? Will they seek to raid the red states for energy, food and raw materials?
I get the sentiment, but people need to think long and hard about what they want.
Rudyard Lynch is my favorite young public intellectual. Great to see an interview starring him.
"Who does the Left turn to when it comes time to pull the trigger?"

The right? Is that the answer you’re looking for? I hope you aren’t suggesting there are no leftist in the military. 🫤
The left is desperately in cope mode thinking that an active and dedicated combat force of less than 250k would somehow survive against 50 million armed constitutionalist partisans or survive a solid third of the military (at least) abandoning their posts or actively opposing any call to fight against constitutionalist americans. It took the Russians 18 months to kill 250k UAF combat personnel. Admittedly that is a full fledged military, but what american constitutionalists don't have in the form of military assets and ordinance, they make up for in sheer numbers.
I'm not trying to dredge up race issues here, but there would be no significant or concerted force, the biggest problem would not be leftist whites, they'd fold hard and quick, it would be non-white ultra woke urbanites, their opposition would be far less compelled by good information but more a fear of what a constitutionalist takeover would entail.
So to illustrate, all those people violently protesting people shot by cops in the last 10 years would be the largest contingent of belligerents indirectly supporting the left, but they can't be counted on or organized in any meaningful way, it would literally be like fighting of a massive pack of wild dogs.
Some running, some attacking, some returning to attack after running, it would be very chaotic.
As someone who loves history and understanding personalities, this young man's mind is intriguing.
When I moved to this country 35 years ago from overseas I was from the "right" - actually the party I was voting was "social democratic" because in Europe most of the "right wing" parties are social democratic. Politics when I came here wasn't a big deal and at the time I didn't see that much difference but soon I gained the US citizenship I registered Republican and since then I vote Republican. When Obama was in office I started seeing a big change in US with the left taking over the big tech, media and a division on this country. Trump is our and the West's last hope for freedom, he loses and the billionaires with WEF would take over the West.
Reminds me of an old TV series. "COnnections" with James Burke.
Things that wouldn't think of as connected are closely connected.
Remove one variable and it not only changes history, it changes the world.
I'm blown away by Rudyards knowledge and views. This is why technology is amazing by allowing us to learn and network at each persons own pace; dismantling the choke/funnel points for information
Incredibly informative, deep conversation between two equally brilliant guys!!
What will be the catalyzing event? If I had to guess, I'd say the exact same thing that started the Revolutionary War: an attempt by the government to seize arms.
This is my first introduction to both of you and this was very interesting. Your guest is very thoughtful and interesting. I'll definitely be watching more from both of you
Very surreal to see you blokes having a chat. I’ve been a fan of you both for a while. Keep it up fellas. 👍
If the CIA and FBI are corrupt now, is not the military and civil police ripe for corruption as well?
They have been corrupted.
I consider that a true statement
Now? You don’t think they had involvement in all the leaders killed in the 60’s?
Difference is the level of investment
That was the entire plan when they were kicking military members out because they refuse to get the jab. They were filtering the conservatives out of military service, leaving only the liberal drones who will do anything they are told.
Ironically the military is now failing miserably to meet recruitment goals so they are begging those same military men they kicked out to come back now that the vid' is over. Those men now want nothing to do with the institution that threw them away like garbage while calling them selfish & evil.
Extremely interesting and intelligent video. Thank you both for your efforts and energy. 👍🇦🇺
I have been following Rudyard for a little over a year. This guy is absolutely brilliant.
Big fan of both channels, great discussion and collaboration nick. This was the Timmy Turner Jimmy Neutron Power Hour™️ of UA-cam intellectual politics.
Bullies and criminals rely on one of two things the good nature or cowardice of thier VICTIMS. This said when you stand up to a Bullie they don't stop being a Bullie they find another VICTIM. So the only to deal with EVIL is to DISTROY IT it is not revenge when you act to keep bad from happening AGAIN
@@travellinglampDecades of feminism and leftism will do that.
@@travellinglamp "American men " is not a homogeneous group. It includes Nick and many in Antifa. WHICH American men you talk to matters.
I’m not American, but I like this line of discussion. I believe in your second amendment right to bear arms and what it was meant for. However, the playing field has become very uneven. If a nation is trying to defend against a corrupt government that has muskets and cannons ( like in the civil war) you have a chance to succeed with numbers. Given that American has, almost definitely, the most advanced and powerful, military capability in the world, how could the American population possibly combat a corrupt government? And that’s if you can get most of the population to rise against it? I hope it never comes to that.
@@keepingitreal3035 Think the government will order a drone strike in American neighbourhoods? Well… come to think of it, they are Leftists, but still, I’d say it’s improbable, but not impossible.
Other than that, it’s a hard sell for an already disgruntled army to send them home and attack their own people. They’re already leaving in large numbers. An army’s leader is only as strong as the army themselves, and considering most soldiers are Right leaning, they’d be just as likely to defect if a Leftist government told them to open fire at their own.
@@keepingitreal3035 don't forget just about 3% fought for our independence... and that was against a well trained and supplied army
I started watching his stuff a month or two ago and love his stuff! Good for him getting a bit of recognition for it!
He is only 22?! Wow. He has a much higher intellect and insight into the world than most. If he keeps going, he will be known as one of the most "beautiful minds" and philosophers of this age. I just subscribed to his channel!
Just writing this to let you guys know that there is still (at least) one right leaning college student who still draws breath!
There is a bunch! They are a Christian universities!
There are many. I think many, nowadays, though "college age" are simply not actually going to college. They know what's up. They know what it is.
Fantastic interview. He was so inspiring to me as our teen son really appreciates alternate history. Looking forward to sharing this video and his channel with our son. God bless y’all.
Rudyard’s channel is seriously incredible. His ability to digest vast amounts of historical information and accurately apply it to the modern day is unbelievable. Hard to believe he’s so young, he has the mind of a 50 year old in the best way
What a stroke of luck when two of my favorite youtubers discover each other and collaborate on a great long form video! I've been watching Rudyard for about 2 years and found all of his topics fascinating. Nick, I wish you could be Virginia's next governor!
Nick is probably 15 years younger than me and I STILL wish he was my dad.
I did not expect whatifalthist here, Nice
Only in a few minutes of talking this brother has convinced me I need to change how i approached life.
This was utterly an fascinating conversation. Excellent content.
What happens when the federal government does not enforce its laws, and a state passes a law to enforce those laws? What happens then when state officials begin arresting federal officials?
You mean like when South Carolina demanded the army leave Fort Sumpter in 1861?
You’re describing the current situation in Texas, no?
@@grassulargraniteof course. And I guess we will see.
if those federal agents have violated state law, the sheriff or state troopers can and will (as they have in the past) arrest them.
What happens? Complete support from citizens.
This conversation is born out of a classical, liberal approach to learning that fosters critical thinking with foundational knowledge to analyze effectively. This needs to be highlighted. Most political, social, issues discussions come from positions of information, not knowledge. Rudyard and Nick show why this is so important.
Well said. Is this why the 'mis-information ' and 'Dis-information' boards have been injected into politics and social issues ? To skew informaton and keep knowledge from us ?
Yep.
What an insightful and honest thought provoking discussion.
Much needed and appreciated
I'm already a subscriber of Rudyard's channel. He's very smart.
Agreed Rudgar does an amazing job.
He is an incredibly intelligent young man.
Often he packs so much information into his videos and speaks so quickly that I find myself having to rewatch and listen to catch everything.
Been really looking forward to this episode/interview! The meeting of two of my favorite minds.
The guy on the left looks super chubby. Is he supposed to be a masculine mascot or something?
Excellent exchange...Glad I caught it. Thank you, Guys!
I am so glad you had him on the podcast, his channel is awesome and well thought through. Great show as always!
Rudyard is seriously my biggest inspiration. He’s my age, followed his own path dispite a million reasons why he shouldn’t, and seems like he’s doing very well
This is great I've been waiting for the part 2. Edit: This was not what I thought it would be but this interview was fantastic.
This is the crossover I never knew I needed; well done, gents!
Nick Freitas and WhatIfAltHist teaming up is my favorite thing of 2024 so far. The world needs this.
This was awesome but I really wanted to see some discussion between Christian and Rudyard :(
All of these military age men coming in and funded by state dept and other agencies. Non profits also.
So on point!
If you want to see just how the migration through our Southern border is set up and funded, go watch the channel Mudraker on the US border migration exposed. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea just how coordinated the whole process is. It is unbelievable and terrifying. Almost ALL politicians in DC should be held accountable and prosecuted for treason.
intellectual humility is a major character asset.
I’m an old guy (74) who has been a long time subscriber to WhatifSltHist. Such an incredibly bright young man. Kudos to you for having him on your show. Great interview! - Your Newest Subscriber
Thank you for an extremely stimulating conversation. We need more of this!
