I still remember where I was when the CIA, FBI, and seal team 6 had their joint press conference concluding that gamergate wasn't sexist, racist, homophobic or bad. I was checking out at Ralph's and silently pumped my fist into the air. I showed the cashier the stream on my phone and she pulled up a wicked grin and nodded sternly. Finally we were cleared and could arrest Anita sarkeesian.

I have a great accidental photo of a buddy running in race waving to us where he just so happened to get the number 1488. So it's a blonde blue eyed dude who is smiling and seemingly in mid-heil with the Hitler number plastered on his chest. Perfect blackmail material if he ever runs for office. Or maybe a campaign poster if the world keeps going down the toilet.

Creepy observation: His eyes and the general (affected) way he acts reminds me of ISIS fighters. Like cult members. He's all over the place but there's an intense focus after radicalizing into a cause. Military-style jacket.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LCpzIslZMs



He doesn't explicitly endorse terroristic violence but is hinting at it more and more. Stuff must be done now, etc. No more waiting. But responding to commenters about beating a kid on the street up, he says no, I'm not going to do that. Or joining the Klan, he's not, "but maybe you should join the Klan."

I mean uh, I've got a few thoughts on why there are clear similarities between this rear end in a top hat and ISIS/cult members as well as why he seems to be using coded language to signal to his base that they should become violent....

By the way sorry I haven't put much material out the past few weeks, been dealing with some anxiety. (My anxiety is like an winter storm in Alaska. unpredictable and there is little that can be done except to wait it out.) Hopefully my head clears up soon because there is a wealth of good stuff to write about at the moment, especially with this Lost Boys stuff.

Actually speaking of the Lost Boys/Alt-Right I have been thinking of doing a small series of podcasts detailing my experiences with an obscure wave of Narrative convergence that swept across the midwest in the early aughts because Jesus Christ are there some similarities between what I experienced and what is happening right now. There are just so many similarities that I don't know where to begin describing them all (from the obsession with melee combat to the weird initiation rituals) and the only way I can really imagine trying to do so is verbally rather than in written form.

What really put me over the edge was finding out that a bunch of the alt-right enjoys VNV Nation. For those who don't know VNV Nation is a spectacularly mediocre electropop band with a lead singer who cannot carry a tune in a bucket (and has a terrible singing voice even if he could). However the lyrics of VNV Nation songs appeal directly to the sensibilities of Narrativists and as a result Ronin (the lead singer for VNV Nation) was widely considered to be an angelkin who had come to Earth to write music meant to help us cope with the cruelty of saving humanity from itself. Back in the early aughts VNV Nation concerts in the midwest were practically Otherkin conventions- as in I was literally not the only Otherkin who went to a VNV Nation concert specifically to meet (and potentially recruit to my quasi-cult) other people who believed themselves to be Otherkin. More than once I wound up at a Denny's after a VNV Nation concert with a group of disparate social outcasts who were all trying to find recruits for our personal Inner narrative's/cults.

Ronin is a middling techno musician and lacks the self awareness to acknowledge that he simply cannot sing- but he does possess true genius. He has found a way to lyrically tap into the Grand Narrative to a degree that no other artist really has. (I have no idea if Ronin is himself a Narrativist- he just happens to have the peculiar gift of writing exactly what a Narrativist wants to hear.)

When does it end when is my work done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel?
That I carry a sword on a battlefield

Yeah I listen to a lot of that electro-industrial crap so I'm quite familiar. VNV Nation's music is what you wanna listen to while standing on a mountaintop with your fist raised into the sky. And the band has Nation in the title so... yeah I can see why the alt-right likes it. It's a bit too megalomaniacal for me I have to say. But since you say no other artist has tapped into it like he has... well I'm trying to think of somebody else and I'm coming up empty.

While I'm on the subject, the best industrial music cult leader is (ex-KMFDM) Raymond Watts of PIG, which is also Lowtax-approved. All hail the Lord of Lard.

I have to make them first, probably be a couple weeks before I release the first one. I need to wait for the month to cycle around to buy a decent mic- all I've got at the moment is a supershitty headset mic (that has seen some hard use as a result of Battlefield1). Judging by the interest though this is definitely a project I will be prioritizing in the near term.

Edit: The more I think about it the more material I have to add that is super relevant to the current situation. Ezboards (now yuku) was unintentionally one of the true forerunners of modern social media. The website was essentially a place to host message boards that were each separate communities but could be accessed with a single account. Narrativists were thick as poo poo on Ezboards as a result of a huge range of occult/paranormal oriented communities. There were hundreds of Otherkin and Vampyre (as in assholes who believed they were literally vampyres and would either "drain energy" from "donors" or drink actual human blood) alone, and those communities were collectively smaller than the Wiccan/Pagan/ghosthunting/generic new age communities on Ezboards.

Ezboards also had what essentially amounted to 4chan/the alt-right as well. Everquest communities were the biggest non-Narrativist users of Ezboards and there were literally a few thousand active Everquest communities. Communities specific to specific Everquest servers were the largest of these. And this is where it gets interesting.

You see Everquest was a game where the GM's enforced the social contract something fierce (known as the "Play Nice Policy" or PNP) and this naturally lead to a ton of griping from certain sectors of the community. So Everquest decided to try an experiment by making a special PVP server wherein the PNP could not be enforced. The result was basically proto 4chan- the notorious Sullon Zek community.

Sullon Zek wound up being a server populated less by people who wanted to play Everquest and more by people who wanted to conduct organized trolling campaigns outside of Everquest. These organized trollings campaigns were called "Jihads" (9-11 had just happened at the time) and they caused signigifant disruption to other Everquest servers, a huge range of Ezboards communities, and a small battery of targets-of-conveniance who had the misfortune of raising the ire of a community of trolls. Early forms of doxxing and cyber-stalking were the orders of the day. In the end Everquest was forced to severely curtail what they allowed on Sullon Zek and Ezboards eventually just automatically banned (without issuing refunds in some cases) every single Sullon Zek community that popped up. They even had a custom "Get the gently caress off our website" splashpage for the closed Sullon Zek communities.

Although a virus wiped out much of the records of all this, there are still bits and pieces of it preserved on the web if you know where to look. Some examples:
