In this country, crime is code for friend of the familys and law and order is code for White supremacy. Trump took a nuanced stand on recent events denouncing the “senseless deaths” of the crime while calling for the restoration of law and order.

So close to understanding dogwhistle racism yet so far

You don’t get it, you just don’t underknow.

Back in the viking age men could be Real Men. They could have long luxurious hair. Braid their bro’s hair. Brahding. He could wear some nice perfume and you could just sit there and smell him and drink sweet honey wine together. Real manly man things.

And the women, they just had to stand around in wheat fields. Sometimes with baskets.

Now what? Everyone is these two hijabis sitting at a table. It’s a lost culture.

That one concept art picture for Mount and Blade is one of the most-popular alt right images. I've seen it in a lot of other lovely memes about how men were supposedly manlier back in the day. Do you think they don't know or don't care that their image of manly men doing manly things in ye olden days comes from a video game?

Mount and Blade attracts a whole bunch of alt-right weirdos, much like how STALKER attracts Actual Real Deal Fascists, so they probably know.

Of course, we will never get a meaningful answer for why excessive traditional manliness is to be preferred in society. It is simply passed as a token of faith among most segments of the right, alt-right to traditionalist, that more violence, physical toughness, and impassivity to the concerns of others is a natural and good thing.

If asked why the "feminization of society" such as they're often so concerned with is a bad thing, I doubt you'd get more than an incredulous stare as if such a question is inherently off base.

The answer they'd never admit is that anyone who wants a society based on brutal hierarchy assumes they'll be dishing out the brutality rather than receiving it. It's kind of like how no one who wants a fascist society imagines themselves being the ones digging ditches at gunpoint.

I loving love how the left image is concept art for Mount and Blade, which had a stereotypical Nordic VIKING faction in it that had little in common with real early medieval Norse.

The stupid part is that about 99% of men on the alt-right would get their asses kicked by those old-school manly men, and they'd probably be better off if they stopped buying into toxic masculinity so enthusiastically, but somehow it's all the fault of feminists rather than the patriarchy that they're unhappy.

Tolkien's letter to nazis inquiring about his Aryan heritage will never not be the best thing

quote:

Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

Someone decided to train a neural network on HPMOR and judging by the headache I get trying to read it, the results are pretty close to what Yudkowsky originally wrote.

How many of these images are actually done by people from Sweden?
I have no doubt that there are a lot of crazy bigots in Sweden (like that juiced youtuber that was in some Hbomb videos), but it is overwhelmingly english speakers (of dubious ethnic ancestry) that are very concerned about racial purity and testosterone levels of nordic people.

High testosterone is overrated. I have really high T and I'm not that tall or big or strong or horny, and in fact I ended up a troon. All high T ever did for me is a big jaw, hobbit feet and hair loss
