bartlebyshop posted:Welcome to Phalanx, "a reactionary fraternity for the cultivation of masculine virtue and the development of social and moral capital." They plan to do such stirring masculine activities as "wing each other and support Patriarchy in our relationships" but also "study practical skills like coding, fixing stuff" and "history and old books." 0 days. I'm guessing there's fair odds it's already happened to one of them.

neonnoodle posted:I'd like to propose the word snart to describe people like Scott Alexander, the LW crowd, Mencius Moldbug et al., i.e., folks who are seemingly well-educated and have expansive vocabularies, who appear to employ logic and reason, but who are actually face-meltingly stupid. Sounds about right. They're often fairly well educated and know how to talk/write in a manner that makes them appear smart at first glance, but most of what they're saying is straight out of their rear end.

All that needs to be said about roko's basilisk or yud's ai theories is that it's nothing more than religion for smug nerds.

DStecks posted:I only played the base game, where the horrible white racists are horrible for suppressing the black people, and then the black people rise up and massacre the whites, proving the whites were right. It's ~morally grey~ So basically "morally grey" means being Robot Santa from futurama? "Mobsters beating up a shopkeeper for protection money! Very naughty. Shopkeepers not paying their protection money - exactly as naughty!"

Jack of Hearts posted:Someone explain to me why Uncle Tom is supposed to be bad. Uncle Tom was a cool guy. Because there was nothing back then from stopping a bunch of shitheads from doing their own Uncle Tom's Cabin performances where Uncle Tom is practically the opposite of the original version of him until that version is the one that more people associated with the name.

Hermetic posted:I really like your idea about it being a factor of the mindless consumerist aspect of the show. It explains the whole "I hate feminism but love MLP" angle. They want the consume the things, because they want to be part of a culture that lets them wave around totems (see: Davis' skull, whiskey and cigarette), but they loathe aspects of what that culture represents. This is in a similar vein as the sort of right-wingers who eat piles of bacon, watch football, and own a dozen guns that have probably never had a shot fired from them. They're people who obsess over masculinity, but they don't or can't DO things the that they see as masculine activities or professions. So instead they redefine masculinity in a consumerist manner, that being manly is about engaging in the correct media and cultural and consuming the totems that prove that engagement. (also: shortpacked is still awful even when it's trying to make a point I agree with)

uber_stoat posted:she doesn't feel any need to offer the left anything, never has, never will. She will never not charge to the right. "Vote Hillary or else Trump" is the only thing she has ever bothered to offer to lefties. Demoralizing but true. This is pretty much the exact opposite of reality.

divabot posted:Hey everyone, Phil Sandifer's books are on sale this week on SmashWords, including the awesome and unjustly neglected Guided By The Beauty Of Their Weapons (aka What The gently caress Vox Day's Problem Is), which is FREE. So you have no excuse. These are ePubs, but you can convert them for your Kindle with Calibre if you like. This got me to read Guided since its free, which I've liked enough so far that I also purchased Basilisk finally and may look at the other stuff as well.
