Wes Anderson graduated college. Wesley Morganston got kicked out of college for being too racist. Said college let a guy who made bomb threats stay enrolled, incidentally.

I was just saying that if you told me that picture was of a young Wes Anderson, I'd believe it, and that made me think: a boyish man with a different decade's suit and haircut who cultivates an aesthetic involving old colonial flags and racist memorabilia would probably fit into most of his movies, so it amazes me that they really exist.

neonnoodle posted:Yeah I phrased my post badly -- I didn't mean that LLR is a neoreactionary of the same movement, but rather that he's an example of what happens when people and their batshitinsane ideology become cults unto themselves. Like I could see Moldbug and his followers becoming similar. That certainly has happened to a degree with Paul Elam. Every couple years around election season, the local LaRouche group get out their metal folding chairs and sit on the street corner near the post office with signs for a week or so, talking to anyone who walks by. Because of their Anti-Obama slant, they get a fair number of people who think they're going to be chatting with friends and Republicaning it up.

If I'm going to be the very model of a modern Dark Enlightenment pundit, I feel I should know more than I do about James A. Donald (JAD, http://blog.jim.com/ ), the guy so racist even Eric S. Raymond calls him a racist and such an rear end in a top hat even Slate Star Codex regularly bans him from commenting. He comes out with such gems as "National socialism kills people not because it is nationalist, but because it is socialist" and calls white nationalism "moderate leftism". And he has important information on the Jews. I don't think I've ever seen a non-rear end in a top hat word from him, though I will credit him with enough sense to realise Bitcoin was unscalable from day one. But I know nothing actually about him. What's his deal? What's the full Aurini on JAD?

Conspiracy theorists are basically social-science/political-science creationists: they refuse to accept that any collective phenomenon could appear without an intelligent designer, in this case, some kind of hidden cabal pulling strings behind the scenes.

I mean in this case there even is a "designer" - all of these logos are carefully crafted, deliberate marketing moves made by cold, soulless marketing departments in response to the news. It's just that "we live in a consumerist hellscape where everything with any meaning can and will be boiled down to a marketing campaign to promote airline tickets and clickbait garbage" is a much less sexy idea than some secret conspiracy to control these poor companies and therefore control the world or whatever.

That's my point, though. There isn't a designer, or coordination; instead, there's just several marketing/PR departments independently jumping on this using well-worn cliches. It's not some cabal turning one lever. But they are unable to move beyond ascribing unitary agency to related phenomena.

I was trying to get through my Schadenfreude backlog, and stumbled across the platonic form of the Dark Enlightenment. James Sears. He's an insane PUA who goes under the pseudonym 'Dmitri the Lover' when running seminars on how to sexually harass women. Aside from that, he's also some weird breed of Neo-Nazi. According to his political party's website (which is worth a read, because it's great.)quote:The New Constitution Party of Canada (NCP) is an all-inclusive federal party based on Libertarian doctrine, Christian values, and National Socialist ideology. Our political movement incorporates the intellect of Dr. Ron Paul, the heart of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and the soul of Jesus Christ, into one powerful political Chimera that will crush the Marxist beast. See more here and here.

Most of their objections to feminism boil down to: "Women have agency and rights in modern society and they exercise those rights solely to avoid sleeping with me and it can't be because I smell and look like a beached whale that's been rotting in the sun for a month, so feminism is one of the worst things to ever exist!"

According to his political party's website (which is worth a read, because it's great.) These guys HQ is really close to where I live. I used to go by it all the time on the bus, and could see the stuff they posted in the widows, which was all kinds of crazy. They are also anti-vaxxers and for a few days had a picture that literally said "Hitler did nothing wrong, Zionists blame him for what they did". That was gone really quickly, probably because people in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto didn't want litearlly Neo-Nazi's being that blatant. They must have some members who have money, because their HQ is pretty large and in a good area of Toronto, which isn't a cheap city to rent store space. A few months ago they put a flyer that was all full of crazy in my neighborhoods mail boxes. I took a picture of the cover http://i.imgur.com/j2ItsPU.jpg Just read that. I wish I had taken some pictures of the inside, because it just got crazier from there. Wonderful articles claiming "We don't hate Jews, we just hate the COMMIE ZIONISTS who control the banks!" and "we're not racists, we just think white people deserve to be recognized for their contributions to world". Also about the Beaches Jazz fest about how the COMMIE FAT CATS bring in too many musicians that aren't local to squeeze out the local musicians, who always get screwed because the ZIONISTS won't let their music be heard". The craziest was this picture of all these saintly old people and the caption "These are the leaders of White Pride, they're called racists, but they'd never hurt anyone". I capitalized because that's what the writers did in the articles with those phrases. It spun out of something called Your Ward News, which was known as being extremely racist, homophobic, misogynist and anti-Semitic.

I met Scott Alexander a few years ago. Despite the increasingly unremitting awfulness of his blog, he's actually ridiculously nice in person. He projects a Niceness Field that increases the surface tone of all conversations around him, and makes you feel bad about calling him out unless you can make a really good argument right then and there in real time. This may explain how his blog got like it did: I hypothesise that nobody he's on speaking terms with will tell him to his face when he's full of it, so he assumes the Internet response is an aberration. You wouldn't have a link handy to the precise post where Scott says that, perchance? Does he say it about Forney specifically, or just nerdy-looking misogynists in general? I could dredge through SSC for it myself, but you understand I'd rather stab myself in the face. Also feminism is literally Voldemort, per this Tumblr post Scott thought was mean.
