A Timeline of Whatifalthist's Mental Breakdown

Documenting Rudyard's descent to madness stretching back 5 years

Disclaimer: as I will argue in my upcoming YouTube video, a lot of it is naturally progressing schizophrenia that he has inherited from his mother. I am also not trying to bully him in this Substack. This thread will skip his traumatic childhood and focuses on 2018-2020 and onwards relying exclusively on Rudyard himself as a source.

PART I: Early Signs

• Before COVID, 2019-2020: The fateful Appalachia trip that changed his life along with the trip to Montpellier where he thought with brown Frenchmen back in January 2020, before the COVID, as he states in the video “The Great Wave crashes”

• Between 2018-2021: Multiple near-death experiences, some of which

  drug induced.

• February 14th, 2020: Fails to comprehend Hegel

  

• August 14th, 2020: Rudyard, after posting mostly alternate history content of varying quality, Posts his first overtly political video, “Why is the World Crazy Now”. Before this point, he never really spoke about his political views, though he did have a center-right bias, it mainly was apolitical content up to this point.

• September 25th, 2020: The first of the many Whatifalthist failed prediction videos, titled “Wars of the 2020s and 30s.”. (I know the screenshot below is very recent, but I thought that it would be funny to include it)

  

• December 31st, 2020: Rudyard finishes reading his first book on magic.

  

• January 28th, 2021: Superpower predictions consisting of Ethiopia, East Africa, Iran and India, Turkey and France. He’s annoyed with non-Christian and generally woke philosophy; given how badly he understands Christianity and anything outside of America – it says volumes.

• March 3rd, 2021: Whatifalthist publishes his first openly philosophical video, “12 Lies about Reality”. It's important to note that he states at 0:28 in the video that “philosophy generally annoys me.” which is strange considering his future statements on the matter

• May 25th, 2021: First time of him mentioning topics like “Declining America” – the video “Is America in Decline” uploaded on his channel.

• June 30th, 2021: Mystic stuff starts to flow into his channel – the video “A History of 10 Monsters” is uploaded. It is the first time he brings up witches (timecode 19:20) – he’s gonna mention them in his Christmas autobiography, stating that they’re left-wing and they hate based “right-hand magicians” like himself.

• August 5th, 2021: First mention of left and right hating each other, as well as political differences between male (predom. right-wing) and female (predom. Left-wing) sexes – the video “Why the Right and Left hate each other” is uploaded. Ever since his further analysis and commentary begins to be increasingly centered around sex and gender.

• September 30th, 2021: Rudyard posts his final alternate history video, “What if the Scramble for Africa Never Happened?”.

PART II: Progressing schizophrenia and drug abuse

• January 23rd, 2022: Finishes The Alchemist in one day. Gives a really positive review.

  

• February 20th, 2022: Rudyard publishes the video. “Understanding Social Justice” a relatively normal video. However, there is something rather important to note here; at 42:24 he says that he has a fear of a right-wing backlash to social justice and that he fears that the anger of young men against feminism will create a misogynistic movement. This is the precursor to his more incelish and schizo vids (more on that later).

• June 24, 2022: Rudyard begins his series on taboo questions about society. This is the first time he mentions taking kratom for PTSD, along with his belief in the spirit world and how ayahuasca connects to that world. The series of videos contains many basic conservative talking points, along with rather strange and esoteric takes like the spirit world and how our “fear” of sex as a society stems from a fear of death. Another thing to note is that in these videos, He is much more “high and mighty” and asks these “taboo” questions more as a wise Zarathustra-like character rather than as a slightly autistic history bro. In his historical videos, his disposition is much more factual and to the point, rather than this mystic, dreamy, and slightly schizo version in these videos.

• September 26th, 2022: He posts his last truly historic video “Twelve Insane Wars You’ve Never Heard Of”.

• November 18, 2022-December 22, 2022: Rudyard publishes a series of 3 videos that begin to show his more politically eccentric and “extreme” side. These videos are; How the Baby Boomers Ruined Society, The Negative Effects of Science on Society, and How Disgust Drives Society, History and the Right. In these videos, he makes a series of oversimplifications, such as pinning all the cultural decay of the '60s-90s entirely on the boomers, blaming the cultural practices of modernist ideologies on science, and claiming that authoritarianism is linked to rates of infectious diseases. That last claim is a common talking point of Jordan Peterson, and it seems Rudyard was adopting Peterson's psychoanalytical tendency to distill complex historical phenomena into a single, overarching cause that supposedly ties them all together.

• March 6th, 2023: Comes clear about his Blackpill philosophy

  

• April 10, 2023: Rudyard releases his The Coming Far Right Backlash, where he elaborates on the position he teased in his understanding social justice video. He states that America will have a civil war (an ordinary take from Rudy) and that the factions of the right will battle each other. He also mystifies social justice movements by calling them “the leviathan” and states that the right in America will turn into a sort of pragmatic, semi-Christian authoritarian state. He believes this because young white men are disenfranchised because of social justice and are thus unable to have children (so the “I can't Breed” meme,) and yes, this is the unironic position he takes, and despite us not needing elaboration, he decides that a person as “sexually successful” as himself he must warn us of the impending Incel revolution in a video he publishes shortly before his madness decides to reveal itself fully.

• June 8th, 2023: He starts dwelling into occult and religion with increased effort to the point he proclaimed communism “a failed religion” – a video “Why Communism is a Failed Religion” is uploaded.

• June 28th, 2023: He uploaded “The Secret History of the 20th Century”, revealing himself as exposed to the influence of various conspiracy theories. In the video he claimed that Liberalism, Fascism and Communism are effectively religions.

• July 4th, 2023: the video “How Death Creates Everything” is uploaded. There he finally manifests his full-on immersion into the occult; some of the takes from this video he’s gonna repeat in “The Physics of Life and Death” segment of his Christmas autobiography.

• September, 22nd 2023: “We are already in a state of Civil War”

  

• November 1st, 2023: he uploaded “The Coming Psychological Black Death”, where he claimed that PTSD is pretty much equal to demonic possession.

• December 10th, 2023: Reveals he regularly takes Kratom, a drug that has opioid- and stimulant-like effects.

  

• Throughout 2023 and 2024: Begins fantasying about rape on Twitter.

  

• Throughout 2024: Incoming US Civil War is the topic he persistently talks

  about.

  

• March 9th, 2024: the video “Did the CIA Discover the Spirit World” is uploaded. There he brings up takes on various ways to reach the spirit world and how to explore it, specifically naming ayahuasca.
