It's like they made a political philosophy about trying to be both too smart for you and too edgy for you. "You know what's totally overrated? All Forms of Democracy. :smug:"

Didn't Helldump precede LF or am I misremembering?

It did. Helldump affected D&D, which may have affected the creation of LF.

Basically, Hoppe uses PROPERTY RIGHTS :qq: as a fig leaf for being a goddamn Nazi, and chooses to disregard the fact that the Nazis pretty much looted their way through occupied Europe.

I was trying to get through my Schadenfreude backlog, and stumbled across the platonic form of the Dark Enlightenment. James Sears. He's an insane PUA who goes under the pseudonym 'Dmitri the Lover' when running seminars on how to sexually harass women. Aside from that, he's also some weird breed of Neo-Nazi. According to his political party's website (which is worth a read, because it's great.)

You need to think more like a libertarian, to whom all of existence can be boiled down to property rights and transactions.

Actually, don't do that.

Basically World War I was a huge shock to Europe's intellectual community and while a lot of them went "gently caress the world" and invented Dadaism, a few instead decided "actually, war is awesome and manly!" Those were the Futurists. I mean, they had some other poo poo going on too, they were very big on motion and technology, but they're mostly remembered for being weird young men who wrote manifestos and were uncomfortably close to fascism.

Tiberius Thyben posted:

Actually, The Futurist manifesto predates WWI by 5 years, and the movement is a lot more complex than that. A big part of it, for example, is that Italy had recently unified, and tried to turn it's gaze outward, with the hope of building an empire of it's own. However, it found that it was kinda late to the game, and there was very little left for them to invade and become rich off of. Surrounded by other, greater powers, Futurism was related to a belief among Italian intellectuals and the middle class that to gain it's rightful place, Italy would need to go to war. In addition, it worshiped technology as a means to achieve this seizing of the Imperialist dream, and advancement overall, as only half of Italy was really industrialized at the time. Futurist art tends to focus on machines (often to the neglect of people) and violence. Paintings of racecars, fighter planes, tracers crossing a battlefield, and such.

I'll shut up, though, and repost this bit from the Futurist Manifesto, because you can practically hear it right from the mouths of a lot of the DE types.

Hmm, seems I got some of my facts wrong. Thank you for the correction.

From the comments:

What confuses me the most is their censorship of “bad words” for non-members, so you get “surprise sex” instead of… “rape.” Is it some biting social commentary I don’t understand, or just SA being assholes? (I’m leaning towards the latter.)

Given how much of Helldump was devoted to mocking various goons' personal appearance, you'd think Gamergate types wouldn't really mind it.

…but then again, they also mocked Ron Paul supporters.
