pookel posted:I noticed some Chinese conversation between the guy this is about & a reply to this & ran it through Google translate. Then I went back through the dude's timeline a bit & looked at his website. Not sure who he is, but he's definitely a white guy living in China who fetishizes Asian women and uncritically pines for the old days when girls were married off young. Just another one of those great Chinese traditions ruined by communism! that lasr bit is weird given that he's a communist who writes for Chinese media

StashAugustine posted:that lasr bit is weird given that he's a communist who writes for Chinese media I was talking about Spandrell, the guy in the image-quoted tweet. Pretty sure he is not any kind of communist. https://spandrell.com/2019/05/12/the-reactionary-tax-code/ quote:I’ve also been meeting some readers in person over the last few years, and they all agree that the “analysis phase” of this little movement we’ve come to call neoreaction is done. Moldbug started the whole thing, asked the right questions, showed how everything we thought we knew was wrong, then he left to build interesting stuff. Nick Land asked another set of right questions, found out nobody dared answer them, and then he left to write horror fiction. I here have done my little part on finishing what I considered was most important: an analysis of the history and the psychology of leftism. https://spandrell.com/2019/01/06/the-intelligence-question/ quote:I’m entitled to poo poo on people for fun once in a while, especially if they’ve given good reason, as Taleb did by saying the most retarded thing that anyone can say: that black overpopulation is not a problem because they’ll turn out just as smart as the Germanic tribes did in post-Roman Europe.

Captain_Maclaine posted:It's remarkable. The guys I worked with were fuckin machines when it came to putting down roofs quickly and correctly (when they weren't too high*) but all of them had suspended licenses or lost them outright for DUIs. sounds eerily similar to my experience, minus the power main. must be every crew coast to coast lol. at one job, my foreman with split a joint with the other laborer before work and then have some beers at lunch. at that job, it was literally demolishing the inside of a burned up building. I have no issues with weed and I'm definitely no snitch, but the job had a "test on workman's comp claim" policy and I wasnt going to forgo getting paid because a building collapsed on me because I hit a joint last week. because I was under 21, I didnt even drink beer, despite it being summertime and sweating to death covered in ppe. i admired the zero fucks given attitude but it wasnt me lol

Shapiro, OTOH, seems to love being the white evangelicals' favorite pet Jew & parroting Christian moral values while ignoring the entirety of Jewish legal tradition.

Mr Interweb posted:https://www.economist.com/special-report/2019/07/25/culture-wars-canadian-style quote:Meghan Murphy, who founded Feminist Current, a website, argues that Bill C-16 was “rushed through with no discussion…about how it would affect women and girls”. It probably encouraged Vancouver to cut off funding for the rape centre. “Canada likes to consider itself very liberal and accepting,” she says. But “we can’t just accept and include when it’s harming other groups”. Take three guesses what sort of "a website" we're talking about.
