Yeah those NPCs are so predictable, thankfully we have "Race Science" to produce scintillating new ideas like White = Best

Brawnfire posted:Yeah those NPCs are so predictable, thankfully we have "Race Science" to produce scintillating new ideas like White = Best That's a bizarre take. Race experimentation has shown white to get regularly blown the gently caress out by black in 100, 200, 400m and marathon events.

Yeah, the functional distinction between "Ironic Fascist" and "Fascist" in effectively nonexistent. "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be"

Yeah they're definitely doing a bit. https://twitter.com/ugroyp/status/1574430091739889665 The problem is Poe's Law, and especially when you get into topics like this, whether it's ironic or not becomes irrelevant https://twitter.com/ugroyp/status/1584905302725517317

So the currency of the secret world in cultist simulator (spintria, -ae, secret tokens used by secret world types) is actually the “femboi”? E: yep, it’s definitely intentional, per google images:

I was thinking about Borges' The Garden of Forking Paths the other day, where there's a bit about a Chinese scholar setting out to write a a novel and build a labyrinth - spoiler: the book turns out to be a labyrinth in time rather than space. I started wondering if while writing Lives of the Caesars, Suetonius jokingly told someone, perhaps Hadrian, he was writing Lives of Famous Whores. Of course, once Hadrian realised...

There is huge overlap between ancient history casual enthusiasts, especially Greek and Roman stuff, and fascists.

Yeah I think these days it's a "if only it were still around we wouldn't have to deal with all these Muslims" kinda thing. It's sad 'cause the East is where it's at.

But now all the right wingers have decided the Pope is a liberal and a heretic, so they've gone for Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality.

Cessna posted:Really? Yeah, unfortunately. It is "bastion of (white) Western Christianity against the (brown) Muslims coming from the (Middle-)East"- kinda thing for a wayyyy too many people who do not actually know poo poo about history. Plus all the other stuff people pointed out. That's not to say that being into Eastern Rome history automatically means one is chud, of course, but expressing loud opinions about the topic online while having certain types of profile pictures is a potential red flag.

Really just any x that slots into the format of "x state was moral and just and did nothing wrong" will get the pro-fash treatment, since they 1) worship powerful states and 2) lack any interest in the dirty complexities of history. The antidote to people flag-humping for the ERE isn't flag-humping for somebody else, its having any respect for the history of the ERE. e: lol
