Because they believe that race mixing is communism, and that black people aren't smart enough to orchestrate that on their own, so they need a race of people who are more cunning and power-hungry than the Aryans but at the same time too cowardly to do it directly so use the media and Hollywood to motivate minorities to cuck whitey. There is already a race that has traditionally been accused of that (along with nailing communion wafers to sticks and poisoning wells) so why be original?

I think part of the hilarity is that it is no longer possible to tell joke from real in the dumbzone. We're dealing with people who called their movement the dark enlightenment. Like, is that a pun on purpose, or...? Sometimes on twitter you get people saying something obviously vile and cruel, then someone on their side accusing them of being a sockpuppet of the enemy trying to discredit them. You have a movement that literally thinks its own idiocy is proof of a conspiracy.

It's also a movement that wants to undo the enlightenment, which it sees as a liberal conspiracy, but at the same time claims that they're not racist because their race realism is scientific. Which is itself a epistemological system that comes entirely out of enlightenment philosophy. Maybe they're just dumb.

The turning point between the "internet is excellent because it's a vector for uncensored free speech" and "uncensored free speech is liberal enlightenment era bullshit". Which strangely came around at about the same time as the internet stopped being mostly a vector for straight white first-world male speech and even (  ) started prominently featuring some voices who were violently against members of the first group.

Kemper Boyd posted:Late to the party, but does anyone have any sort of thought about what made this whole MRA/crazy conservative/cuckosphere thing emerge initially? It's always been there it's just more visible. One of the reasons you ended up with MRAs as they stand now is because you have a lot of fat white guys without much to do all day looking for somebody to blame. Growing up they were promised the world - they'd go to college, get a job, snag a hot wife, and be the rulers of the world. Now they see people that aren't white guys from privileged backgrounds in places of wealth, prestige, and importance and are thinking "that should be me." Part of it is because of the financial meltdown too. You have a lot of people that got screwed over and it's been hammering upper middle class white folks as well. Of course some of them are looking for somebody to blame but go after the wrong targets. Things are bad for a lot of people. It doesn't help that upper middle class white guys probably are under a lot of pressure to be wealthy and important but have no opportunity to do so. That gets twisted into the belief that all of the opportunity is being taken and forcibly given to people who don't deserve it. It jives well with American conservative thought because American conservatism has a pretty strong history of being racist and sexist.

The Internet was pretty libertarian at first in nerd circles, for better and for worse. If you could afford access and knew what you were doing, you got a voice, and the decreasing price of technology (due to the benevolent free market of course) made it get better and better. Until there was a point where the social web appeared, and people who were explicitly calling out white maledom started getting followers, and the social web even had areas that were female dominated. Suddenly about that point, dark enlightenment formed, although it does draw on the rich vein of bitter fucks throughout history.

Yeah, it was probably the notion that the world didn't revolve around them and the ongoing diversification of media that drives these people. People are throwing tantrums about movies, video games, tv shows, comic books that are changing their characters from white males to other races and genders.

I have to give the "true Prussian" guy one thing--von Richtofen and pals were pretty cool, because who can say no to a form of warfare where the enlisted men sit around behind the lines and the officers go out and get killed?  We should replace warfare as we know it with a real-life version of Ace Combat.

Because they're dumb stemlord failures who never read a book without a dragon or a spaceship in it and are proud of that. It took them to the point where cultural criticism filtered down through Star Wars and Spider-Man comics to realize that it even exists. They're just flailing around with a cargo cult that approximates what their limited perception captures of what's happening. God forbid they ever read something more complex than what was handed out in AP English.

Define 'top of the hierarchy' though. The world's isn't run from tumblr, and in terms of clout on the internet (whatever that is worth), reddit and the chans out-rank them both. To me, what's kind of fascinating about their self chosen label isn't the 'enlightenment' and the contradiction there, but the qualifier 'dark'. It's there clearly to signify edginess, but it also kind of implies maliciousness. "The enlightenment was bad, but we're worse!". Seems more like the kind of things biker gangs say about themselves, rather than then legitimate political movements. Except that they're inflating their egos with long winded screeds, instead of riding around looking menacing or whatever.
