https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Curtis_Yarvin&oldid=711849448 This version by "Carlylean" is just loving hilarious. I won't be surprised if it is by Curtis himself, but even if not, it's really weird to think this is a fan whose contribs are entirely about Yarvin, going as far as adding him as an alumnus to his high school's article. The username is a big clue in itself, I think. Also, the categories, "21st-century philosophers", "American male poets". Edit: Of course, it's Lex Corvus.

Moldbug posted:Fascism no longer exists. It's as dead as Odinism. You can reinvent Odinism, but it's not Odinism, it's fake Odinism. Unless it's a joke (and don't get me wrong, Nazi Microsoft chatbots are funny), it's pathetic. Actually, the fact that /pol has made Hitler funny is the best possible evidence that Hitler is completely dead. Hitler died in 1940 or something?

quote:What is fascism? It's exactly what everyone thinks it is. The conventional wisdom is perfectly correct. Our historians have a merciless, laser-sharp understanding of everything bad that fascism was and everything it did wrong. What hasn't been done is turning this same laser on our own institutions. What is fascism? The people who decry it are right, but they've never ever examined society through the same lens. Probably because they're gay and stuff. What do you mean that doesn't describe fascism? I bet you're some lefty motherfucker. Have you heard about my idiotic programming language/operating system/ego project?

Those tweets mention LambdaConf but there hasn't been any summary of that particular shlamarkey ITT, so I will summarize for people who aren't up for reading poo poo on Reddit. Remember when Yarvin was uninvited from a cool* programming conference called Strangeloop once the organizers realized he was literally pro-slavery? Well, the roughly-similar upcoming conference LambdaConf accepted his proposal for a talk. At first it was just like Strangeloop: they posted their schedule, people recognized Yarvin, pointed out the trouble to them, and then they apparently had a huge angst-party, and in the end kept him in the program , because...I don't really know! They wanted to have a ~policy~ instead of just, uhh, a decision, and they don't think their having him on the schedule is an endorsement of his views, but they want everyone who isn't literally a violent criminal to be welcome at their shindig, because...I really, really don't know! Nerds! quote:Based on this new LambdaConf policy, any speaker’s political views would not, by themselves, disqualify the speaker from attending LambdaConf. I've heard second-hand that some people are already distancing themselves from the conference. I'm glad I didn't get a ticket. *: i went and really liked it; kathy sierra couldn't make it but there were many cool talks and they rented out The City Museum one night, a+

It refers to situations where people are so focused on taking care of others that they don't take care of themselves. The platonic ideal of pathological altruism is burnout in healthcare/mental health professions. But it can also refer to e.g. people staying in unhealthy/abusive relationships because their partner "needs their help."

Nessus posted:The entire gimmick of Undertale, other than the wacky Homestuckiness and poo poo, is that it makes a common game trope (random monsters who you kill just because it's the way it is) into an axis of moral choice. Obviously in order to make this point it creates an environment where you are never/almost never in a place where we might consider killing in self defense to be morally laudable, and the game itself even has a character that remarks "there's a lot of bad people out there. You can't always hug it out." That's the thing, in a funny way there is a "Real" version of Undertale that Ragged Jack Scarlet is talking about. It's called "Every RPG ever made" and it sounds boring and not thought provoking at all

The sexualization of trans people on 4chan can be simmed up like so. I think women are impure I think men are more pure. Therefore men who become women are inherently pure and have innately the qualities I desire in a person These desires also sum up as not changing a thing about who I am and what I do and think. Then there's those who are younger boomer lites with a persecution complex of not being born earlier who put the classic "mental illness" and other vile crap. Wanting to give people the body thay fits their braincase of who they are like any other medical operation? Not on my christian dollars. Manga/Anims lgbt isn't actually same sex promotion, it's sex appeal for the japanese male audience. Plus I don't even want to get into how Japan for a long time considered lgbt relationships to be a phase and half of its citizens only recently are okay with same sex marriage and other legal benefits. Still hasn't made gay marriage legal yet. On the plus side though sex change is legal can serve in military. Annointed has a new favorite as of 12:28 on Mar 27, 2016 |
