Lolbergtarian induhvidualists want to cuck Whites by prohibiting Whites from organizing collectively while letting Japan, which does act as a nation, dump radios and cars on us. Our economic philosophy is non-cuck-ism, because nature abhors a cuck. This is the same as our general philosophy. Our core demand is that we not be cucked by being second class citizens our own country. We can now dispense with the glib nonsense about elites and sheeple and social classes. Intellectuals, defined as people capable of overcoming their ingrained worldview, used to see themselves as superior, but the instincts and emotions that are our inheritance must have been adaptive. The average White man probably couldn’t deal with the PDEs of modern physics, but they can instinctually and intuitively deal with biology, the history of the White race, and make the demand not to be cucked.

There's nothing wrong with arguing about Who Would Win In A Fight as long as you remember you're having a fun time bullshitting rather than determining true facts about anything. edit: Woolie Wool posted:I'm so sorry for my bad political opinions back then, I was 14 and it was Bush's first term and Fox News was lying to me I forgive anything except upholding the ICS.

I can assure you that Spacebattles took imaginary space battles with the utmost seriousness, analyzing special effects frame by frame to calculate phaser yields to the kilojoule. People were told to literally approach television and film scenes like documentary evidence, and speculation on author's intent or dramatic purpose of written battle scenes in books or magazine serials was forbidden. It was, as described in the thread, like treating stories as alternate realities that cannot be examined in any outside context. There was a notorious episode of Deep Space 9 where the Romulans glass the Founder homeworld and the forum concluded that the dialogue was wrong and the characters were idiots because the VFX wasn't melty enough, and thus the weapons used were little more powerful than modern nuclear weapons and the planet sustained very little damage.

Woolie Wool posted:Dear lord, I am having flashbacks to "vs. debates" on Spacebattles. What a goddamn black hole of stupidity, and 14 years ago I was in it. I'm on Spacebattles these days, though it's the Worm fandom creating megawords of fanfic. Of course in the actual discussion threads I ... have certain people on ignore.

I hung out briefly at the small local Pride event this weekend with my gay alt-right-adjacent friend. He seemed to have a hard time handling the atmosphere of cheesy folk music, "virtue signalling," "SWPL" and "dildo politics." He was going to wear his Make America Great Again hat, but couldn't find it. Apparently it's hard out there for gay reactionaries.

You were asking earlier about unironic authoritarians who believe and talk about nothing but power, and as I recall there were a few of them there (lots of mourning for sun setting, etc). I haven't been on there in...christ, 12 years, so I don't know if they're still there but I definitely remember various old assholes getting really angry about political correctness run amok! and jerking off over space imperialism in all its forms. Its also where I picked up Warhammer 40k

As far as I can tell as an outsider whose non-lovely friends are into it, it's effectively trying to be a parody of a grimdark cyberfuture except the parody part is lost on the vast majority of the fanbase who just treat it like Very Serious Manly Men Making Manly Man Decisions or whatever, is that accurate?

I wouldn't know if the vast majority, just the worst part, but more or less. They've taken a setting about large potatoshaped men wearing refridgerators and hitting each other with chainsaws and think its some kind of literary magnum opus.

If Davis Aurini is any indication, fascists are now moving from Warhammer 40k to Fallout. Probably for economic reasons, because who the gently caress wants to spend five billion dollars on glorified dolls.

The only singleplayer 40k experience I had was Space Marine and uhhhhhhh The tabletop RPG from Fantasy Flight Games also has an easter egg that references a pretty famous 40k fan fic. Mostly it's things outside of GW that are better. And I liked Space Marine. I thought riding around on a Titan was absurd and fun. vv But I'm gonna stop cluttering up the thread with 40k chat.

It's not like the setting has a shortage of unstoppable doomsday villains. You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. 40K is, at its heart, a celebration of sci-fi villains, from space fascists through hungry, hungry bug-monsters to barbarian hordes with starships. The Necrons are the ancient, unknowable Lovecraftian horrors of the setting, impossibly old and impossibly advanced and utterly inscrutable. They're for if you like your sci-fi evil cold, weird, and uncaring, with a proper sense of grandeur, more ominous than in-your-face hideous like the Tyranids and Chaos.
