i mean its not too difficult to parse. capital has a vested interest in keeping the proletariat divided and there is always going to be chuds that have been convinced theyd have a big ol piece of the capitalist elites' pie if not for some out group. demagogues like trump carry water for capital by riling these lunatics up, so there you go.

There was a Redditor recently who took a genetic test and found they were loving a half‐sister.

Their mothers had the same sperm donor.

My grandparents are from the old country so no one gave a poo poo but there’s like 50/50 chance my paternal grandparents were cousins. My great grandmother apparently got around so no one knows for sure.

i live in a place where by the time I was 18 I was distantly related to about half my friends in school so, uh... i dont know of anybody who even considers 3rd or 4th cousins to really be a relation lmfao. it's like ck2 where eventually instead if nephew or cousin it just says 'kinsman'

Linguistically, there are languages that really drive the idea of marriagiable cousins home with specific terminology for cross-cousins as opposed to parallel cousins. It gets weird.

Dave Emory termed them the "cyber-wandervogel" and while I initially wrote that off as part of his hateboner for Wikileaks & friends, his analysis eventually panned out:

quote:

The title of the program derives from the Wandervogel, part of a youth movement that wielded considerable influence in early twentieth-century Germany. Like the “Anonymous”/Pirate Bay/Pirate Party adherents, they were seeking a “liberating” perspective on life, and the Wandervogel embraced many elements of youth/hippie culture of the latter part of that century.

A more detailed analysis of the Wandervogel was presented in FTR #629: “ . . . The chief vehicle for carrying this ideological constellation to prominence was the youth movement, an amorphous phenomenon which played a decisive but highly ambivalent role in shaping German popular culture during the first three tumultuous decades of the century. Also known as the Wandervogel, (which translates roughly as ‘wandering free spirits’), the youth movement was a hodge-podge of counter-cultural elements, blending neo-Romanticism, Eastern philosophies, nature mysticism, hostility to reason, and a strong communal impulse in a confused but no less ardent search for authentic, non-alienated social relations. Their back-to-the-land emphasis spurred a passionate sensitivity to the natural world and the damage it suffered. They have been accurately characterized as ‘right-wing hippies,’ for although some sectors of the movement gravitated toward various forms of emancipatory politics (though usually shedding their environmental trappings in the process), most of the Wandervogel were eventually absorbed by the Nazis. This shift from nature worship to fuhrer worship is worth examining. . . .” (Ecofascism: Lessons from the German Experience; by Janet Biehl and Peter Staudenmaier; AK Press [SC] 1995; Copyright 1995 by Janet Biehl and Peter Staudenmaier; ISBN 1-873176-73-2; pp. 9-10.)

Most of the Wanderevogel became Nazis. Despite their “liberationist” perspective, “the Pirate Vortex” has served similar forces, no doubt inadvertently. In future program descriptions about WikiLeaks, we will ruminate about the implications of high-tech and fascism.

The eventual fate of the hippies, where after a libertine decade or so of LSD loving they grew up and voted for Ronald Reagan (but never stopped sucking each other off for shaving 13 frames and half an A button press off the Vietnam War) was a similar though less severe phenomenon.

all of these Silicon Valley guys are control freaks who refuse to accept the fact that they’re eventually going to get old and die

the bulletproof coffee guy has wasted over a million dollars on pure quackery in the foolish quest to live to 180 years old. he obviously has some sort of hypochondria or health anxiety (hello self-diagnosed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic Lyme!) but since he also has tech money and connections he turned that into a lucrative business selling other medically illiterate tech people snake oil like “toxin-free” coffee with butter in it and nootropics that give you diarrhea

and of course you have Thiel and his ghoulish unscientific idea that infusions of teen blood keeps you young forever

Ten days before I met him at his home in British Columbia, Dave Asprey went to a clinic in Park City, Utah, where a surgeon harvested half a liter of bone marrow from his hips, filtered out the stem cells, and injected them into every joint in his body. He then threaded a cannula along Asprey’s spinal column and injected stem cells inside his spinal cord and into his cerebral fluid

this is just the first half of paragraph 1.
