that guy has literally never been mask on
I find it funny how bad guys in fiction openly expresses that they’re in the dark side. That’s so comical it can’t happen in reality. Right?
Nah, this guy is embracing ”Dark Enlightenment” as his core philosophy.
You start out thinking that the fictional one-dimensional villains are realistic as a kid
Then you grow up and realize that they were just intentionally overdone hyperbole
Then you grow up even more and realize that the fictional one-dimensional villains are very real
the infamous black pill
If you dig deep, Nick Land (coiner of the term “Dark Enlightenment”) draws a lot of influence from Bataille - and specifically fucked up shit written by Bataille. He’s got an article all about the philosophy of the “Story of the Eye” which is basically snuff erotica.
“He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[3][18] He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than black people,[18] and opposes U.S. civil rights programs.[19]”
holy fucking hell
Never his race though, that'd be silly.
That limitation actually doesn't exist. If someone is racist primarily against some group nearby, they may think that some group further from them is better than their own.
Like some Eastern Europeans thinking they are better than Middle-Eastern people, but that Western Europeans are better than them.
In case of that guy - he surely feels right at home in USA where all this is reduced to "White", "Black" and "Asian". OK, Middle-Eastern people are sometimes "White" and sometimes "Brown". Jewish people are usually classified as "White", which is very convenient.
If you get deep into their subcultures, they get really nitpicky. There are comics where Italians are depicted with the kind of racist features they give to Black people, because some of the people don’t believe that Italians count as white.
Bro really needs to work on his smirksneer. Every white supremacist anarcho-capitalist needs one. You're not going to impress those high-IQ bigots or attract the high-value females unless your smirksneer is on point, and this guy's is just mid, at best. Low effort, sloppy.
Da fuk is dat
I've seen this for hardcore libertarian. They have one of the most unhinged subreddits. Their mod Derpballz was rather prolific is showing up to random communities with that BS. Bro is currently ban evasion as Irresolution.
"neo-monarchist" "hardcore libertarian" I love it when people have coherent views which aren't self-contradictory.
There's a version of libertarianism where if you rightfully (via all-voluntary process) own a piece of land and make a kingdom there, or create a network of agreements leading to monarchy, it's fine.
The issue is that you can never own territory fully logically rightfully by even Rothbard, so you only can have a voluntary monarchy without territory cause territory is inherently commonly owned, or owned by nobody. A group of people needing some territory to live on can claim as much as they need, but one person who wants to have a kingdom on it - nah. And a voluntary monarchy is not much different from a BDSM orgy, you can have it right now if everybody agrees.
So bog standard ancap is incompatible with this, but there are a few kinds of fascists (or "paleo-libertarians") who have a set of ideas which isn't.
and people wonder why i don't want to use urbit
Mississippi's Letter of Secession on slavery:
Behold, the master race
He looks like even the mirror bullies him
He looks like he's failing to pretend that burn didn't hurt.
Same as it ever was.
Göring was monstrously fat by 1940's standards.
What a definitive neckbeard good LORD.
