I posted about this yesterday, but the bolded is a pretty universal feature of high-compaction Narrativists. No matter what their particular ideology or beliefs that, once they've been through enough compaction Cycles a narrative this will come to believe in an inevitable mass of violence that will be the result of their personal God-force seizing control of the world. This takes many forms but is a primary preoccupation with narrative is oriented literature. In fact there is an entire unrecognized subgenre of what one could call "doomsday porn"- consider this comparison between Left Behind and Atlas Shrugged:

Prester's Perspective posted:

Narrativist media that incorporates storytelling in any form almost invariably adheres to the general format of the Four Structural Points of the Grand Narrative- as a result Narrativist media is often simply re-telling the exact same story over and over.Further certain archetypal stories are universal between the various Narrativists Clusters. For example Narrativists almost always embrace an archetypal "end of days" story that always features the God-Force destroying The Enemy in an act of righteous judgment while The Elect watch the destruction whilst safely ensconced in paradise. The quickest demonstration of this idea is to compare two pieces of Narrativist media that are both examples of this archetype that originate in separate Clusters; in this case we shall use Atlas Shrugged (Economic Cluster) and Left Behind (Religious Cluster) for our purposes.

Starting with Left Behind, allow me to summarize the general structure of the story:


The God-Force (Yahweh) sends the perfect man (Jesus Christ) as a thief in the night to quietly gather The Elect (distinguished by being "true" Christians for their adherence to the correct version of Christian beliefs) and take them away from the world and to a sheltered paradise (Heaven) just before the onset of a period of massive destruction brought on by the collective refusal of The Enemy/The Sheeple (Atheists/The Unsaved) to obey the dictates of the God-Force (Allow Narrativists to rule the lives of everyone in accordance with fundamentalist Christianity). The story centers on a group of individuals (The Tribulation Force) that do not initially meet the requirements for admission to paradise but who later earn that right by changing their beliefs to be in line with the dictates of the God-Force. (Yahweh) It is presumed that once the destruction has ended The Elect will emerge from paradise to rebuild the world and rule over it in a new golden age.


And now the same treatment applied to Atlas Shrugged:

The God-Force (the Free Market) sends the perfect man (John Galt) as a thief in the night to quietly gather The Elect (distinguished by being rich people with the correct beliefs regarding personal greed) and take them away from the world and to a sheltered paradise (Galt's Gulch) just before the onset of a period of massive destruction caused by the collective refusal The Enemy/The Sheeple (The poor/everyone not poor but not rich) to obey the dictates of the God-Force (Allow Narrativists to rule the lives of everyone in accordance with Objectivism). The story centers primarily on an individual (Dagny Taggert) that does not initially meet the requirements for admission to paradise but then later earns that right by changing her beliefs to be in line with the dictates of the God-Force. (Free Market as personified by John Galt.) It is presumed that once the destruction of the old world has concluded The Elect will emerge from paradise to rebuild the world and rule over it in a new golden age.



You could also make the same basic structural comparison between a variety of other Narrativist works of fiction such as the Turner Diaries or Lavoy Finicum's (the rear end in a top hat who died drawing his gun on the feds during Malheur) self-insert novel.

thinking back about this quote from the coastie nazi:

quote:

I never saw a reason for mass protest or wearing uniforms marching around provoking people with swastikas etc. I was and am a man of action you cannot change minds protesting like that. However you can make change with a little focused violence."
i.e. Weather Underground again. "well, we tried awakening the masses by waving flags and running down the street, but that didn't work so..."

My perspective on this comes from having been involved with an Otherkin cult that went through this exact same loving process. Once we concluded that it would not be possible to awaken the slumbering masses to how right we were about everything we started to fantasize constantly about how we would one day indiscriminate mow all these people down with the superpowers we would gain once "the veil between worlds fell".

one of the thing that still throws me for a loop is how your otherkin doomsday cult was obsessed with vnv nation

i actually came across some nazi video of a guy saying crazy poo poo and heard one of their songs playing in the background.

like you said you'd recruit people at their concerts. i was like "wowww holy poo poo that makes sense." it's hard to describe. the mentality is like you're an enlightened being floating effortlessly above and through the sea of normies. like that video.

it's messianic. doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a specific kind of politics as much as the psychology behind it. and it's also highly personally expressive. there's not much a strategy to winning power where you go from A to Z and build a mass movement.

i wouldn't say the left is doing everything perfectly today (what do i know anyways?) but it seems optimistic with institution building, structure, people trying out various strategies but thinking about how to win power. i know when i've heard workshopping around experienced DSA people for instance they always ask "how does this help us build power?" in those exact terms. now there's this enormous machine gearing up around bernie. maybe there's a mass base forming out of that. not leading to (y'know) glorious communist heaven in the sky but something positive nevertheless.

Apropos of nothing, I've lost Twitter embeds suddenly (Macbook running Firefox). Anyone know how to fix this?

A few pages late, but it's probably because Firefox's recent releases have stricter default settings for tracking protection, which mucks up cross-site tweet embeds.

All you need to do in that case is turn off content blocking for the site you want them to embed on - little shield icon, left side of the URL bar.

there’s a reason the most extreme crazies whiplash from rural people’s party juche idea to iron-gates-worshipping nazism. it’s not an ideological movement, it’s an aesthetic one, and the underlying personality traits driving it are narcissism and frustration. the actual “goal” or “meaning” of the movement is a paper-thin veneer over what the crazies really want, which is esteem and power, usually expressed through fear.
