The Venn diagram of GG and DE isn't a circle, but they're both based on misogyny, white supremacy, and spending too goddamned much time on the internet, so there's definitely overlap.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

There's something poignant about crazy nutjobs believing that they're about to get kidnapped, in the exactly the same manner that a government that was the same kind of fascist that they advocate would. Totalitarian governments are only bad when other people do it.

He’s been on his dormant volcanic island of weird for some time and the rumbling is becoming more obvious. Even the Dilbert cartoons are going weird now.

I must say, Land showing up did bring us the attention of the leftist academics for the really champagne quality NRx shitposting. Excerpt:

quote:

It’s no weird quirk that the continental philosopher Nick Land is both a founding figure of modern Right Accelerationism and of Neoreaction. It is precisely his continental roots that provide a foundation for such fascism. Forming a model of the world through a very sweepingly abstract and macroscopic analysis and embracing the first explanations or narratives that fall out rather than looking deeper for ways to reshape and change things is the very polar opposite of radicalism. Even in those moments where concrete language is adopted, the neoreactionary impulse has consistently been to make quick claims about what is and ignore all other possible explanations. Of course neoreactionaries as a whole come from many directions, some former transhumanists who recoiled from much of technology when they realized the inescapable liberatory conclusions of giving people more means, but Nick Land’s project is very much one still in the vein of the worst tendencies of continental philosophy. And we should not be surprised. Accelerationism as a term has a nihilist history, a context Land and in the process other accelerationist writers are consciously calling upon.

Nihilism, like God, unleashes mental stress by ultimately acting as a cognitive stop, a get-out-of-thinking-free excuse — to be desperately invoked rather than reflected on. And so it either inherits or forms arbitrary feedback loops to protect this state of brain death. In neoreactionaries this finds expression through their hunger for the quickest ways to provide models. Invoking cognitive science to ‘explain away’ rather than to radically probe. Everything can be quickly dismissed as signalling or ritual or IQ or race or whatever. Looking for dynamics only insofar as one can quickly create a taxonomies or just-so-stories to slap on things and impede any further examinations that might lead to competing hypotheses or radically new possibilities.

In contrast to this reactionism one might pose an actual, full-throated embrace on many levels of “deterritorialization” and “unleashed flows” — not as a nihilist position that gives up and accepts whatever drifts its way — but instead as a position of Full Vigilance. Such vigilance is ultimately the only solid thing in the conceptual or computational landscape — as a direction rather than a point. It is adamantly not an abyss. For vigilance to signify an endless nothingness one must adopt the nihilist position that all arguments or perspectives are equally mappable into one another once you cast off all arbitrary attachments. That there is no metastructure or universally unique points in the flows of meta-desire. Such a perfectly flat situation would of course be an astoundingly ordered one and thus an unlikely random topology, but the nihilists cling to this delusion of flatness or meaninglessness as an excuse to get out of vigilantly exploring any further. To just default on whatever instincts or impulses they’re currently prone to without much examination. Sometimes this leads to a bunch of burnouts collectively trying to hold onto the friendships and aesthetic trappings of their former anarchist life. Other times it leads to nerd neonazis talking about how whites and ‘alpha’ men will rule after the collapse of civilization. In either case the surrender is one of conceptual-localism — wandering in happenstance circles or sticking to a current position merely because you happen to reside there and deriding any world-traveling or diligent exploration as a waste. Both are caught in the pull of an increasingly irrational rejection of the universal, the cosmopolitan, the earnestly curious.

A bit jargonised, but if you've followed NRx a bit you should get the idea.

Possibly the most Dork Enlightenment thing ever:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-school-2-dead/

quote:

The man walked into the Kronan school in Trollhättan, Sweden, on Thursday morning dressed in the style of Darth Vader, with a long black trench coat, black boots, black helmet and a mask similar to the “Star Wars” villain’s. He played eerie music but didn’t say a word.

Strangest of all, he carried a sword.

Several students walked up to the man and snapped smiling photos on their cellphones.

“When we first saw him we thought it was a joke,” a 14-year-old student named Laith told Swedish state broadcaster SVT. “There were pupils who wanted to take pictures with him and feel the sword.”

What seemed like a Halloween joke, however, quickly turned into genuine horror. The man’s sword became a deadly weapon that was wielded with a “racist motive,” said police in a nation the prides itself on tolerance, but has been stunned from a series of suspicious fires at sites set aside to house a flood of asylum seekers and other migrants.
