Oh hey here's the nazis' fave Fox News personality spending an hour a week from 2006-2011 talking about Bubba the Love Sponge about statutory rape, arranged marriages between adults and teenagers, and other various standard-issue nazi misogny.

Ugh, Bubba the Love Sponge. There was a brief period in 2009 when the only alternative rock radio station in South Florida licensed to air his Tampa-based morning show and I was stuck listening to it on the way to work in between switching out metal cds. The only thing remotely enjoyable was finding out that his zoo had the dude that did the redneck prank calls my roommates kept playing during college, but even that wasn't enough to make his show bearable. That show was such dreck that when the radio station did a Airheads-style format switch to easy listening it was one of the greatest things to happen in radio history down here. Yeah, we had a market void on the radio but god drat they brought it upon themselves.

I find it absolutely unsurprising that Tucker was on Bubba. Same damned audience.

hosed up that Nazis appropriate the vaporwave aesthetic, which was made by a lot of LGBT and PoC people. Floral Shoppe, the big album that really popularized the genre, was made by a trans woman, for example.

It's still funny that this is driving the Trump fans on 4chan nuts, though, even if they'll just vote for Republicans (if they vote at all) once Yang gets immediately eliminated.

That's actually the reason why a lot of alt-righters are unironically supporting him, from NEET meme makers to social media thought leaders like Richard Spencer and Roosh. They view Trump as a failed experiment and have gone accelerationist and are content with free money

yeah if it was ever explained it would have been in the novel, the game has basically 0 unless there's some building's or tech's flavor about it being related to the Punishment Sphere and if so I can't point you to it (not related to the Genejack Factory, those are actual genetically engineered burly subhumans)

I always liked that for as much storytelling and world building as the game did, it trusted the player enough that it didn't feel it had to fill in every last blank and could leave some details to your imagination, where they were likely to be more vivid anyway.

It is when you use micro needles to electrocute someone's nervous system. It is the worst pain a person endures, but it doesn't cause any physical damage. So it is an effective torture device and and means to quell dissent. It is treated as a minor crime against humanity (along with nerve gas), which carries a punishment of 10 years of economic sanctions.

I realized recently that vaporwave can basically be described as a new iteration of kitsch appreciation or camp. I'm not sure how to properly contextualize the Nazi obsession with it though, it seems trite to just say they're all repressed.

I know the term is used more broadly, but literary romanticism arguably has a similarly queer undercurrent. Lord Byron and Hans Christian Andersen are pretty well attested for example. I might be reaching a bit though.

Vaporwave sounds vaguely like older (like 90's) anime music, which was itself inspired by 80's pop/R&B.

Uh Vaporwave has been really popular for a while now. Just like, in general. In fact it's kinda starting to fade as a fad, so I think it's less "alt-right loves Vaporwave" and more "boomers/basement-dwellers are loving late to the party".
