Annointed posted:It's glorious to see their butthurt over Anita and Zoe getting UN recognition. Breitbart tears are so funny considering that they wouldn't be there if they just decided to not overreact. It makes me smile something fierce. The site is named for and was started by a man who was caught on video screaming at OWS protesters shortly before dying from a heart attack. Overreaction is in its code.

I'm pretty sure all the NRxes who talk about cuckolding all the time have that as a fetish. Maybe they haven't admitted it to themselves but it's an obsession. They're just like the anti-gay politicians who get caught having sex with male prostitutes in airport bathrooms.

fatherboxx posted:How many of these images are actually done by people from Sweden? One of the key points in all this is that Europe is still overwhelmingly white and that's paradoxically what helps the "We're being overrun!" mentality fester. There aren't enough of the hated minority for them to actually be a power bloc so politicians can demonize them for easy gains among their base without risking anything. Similarly the GOP has been able to rely on dog-whistle hatred of blacks to rule their base because the African American minority hasn't grown a lot in the last few decades- but the Latino minority has and that HAS hurt them because they keep harping on "illegals" and even US-born Latin Americans are turned off by it.

Woolie Wool posted:American white nationalists make more evil sense than the European nationalists, in that one big genocidal white empire is much stronger than a bunch of lovely little fascist nation-states. They scream and rail against foreigners existing while destroying the institutions that give them leverage against the rest of the world. The Brexit vote is a good example of this- a lot of the supporters of Leave still seem to think they can negotiate favorable trade deals from an institution they just told to go gently caress themselves because Britain is just that important.

McGlockenshire posted:The only thing worse than libertarian software developers are those that preach for a meritocracy. Judging by merits is a fine idea on paper, but once you end up inviting Moldbug to a conference, you've lost all credibility. I only found this out recently, but when the word "meritocracy" was coined in the sixties it was actually a dystopian concept- the person who came up with it was arguing against rule by an intellectual elite.

I think their logic is literally that only white males can be c _ cks, a woman like Hillary is just enacting her sinister pro-not-white-male agenda.

It would be nice if we could come up with a more efficient way of attaining escape velocity than burning massive piles of solid fuel, but that's a ways off (and it doesn't sound like the guy is focused on anything but more efficient ways of burning said fuel.) Of course beyond that the big problems with longterm manned space travel are things like the effects of long term weightlessness or low-G environments, increased exposure to radiation, etc.

uber_stoat posted:all the gibbering about space colonization seems sorta irrelevant to me given that most of the human race is going be scraped off the face of reality by climate change in a relatively short span of time. spending time and money figuring out a way to make habitable a barren rock rather than making an effort to preserve the place where the human race evolved, that seems like an extremely stupid way to go about things, but hey if I'm so smart why aren't I rich? While climate change should be science's #1 priority now, I'm not aware that even the most pessimistic forecasts (Sandifer excluded) have "most of the human race" being killed off. It's not The Apocalypse so much as life getting harder for everyone.

To be sure full on "Dark Enlightenment" types don't even want "a right wing President", they want a full on autocracy and a restoration of feudalism with themselves at the top somehow. They'll find new ways to be oppressed by The Cathedral despite a government tilted as far in their favor as possible. Not to go all Godwin but I wonder if there were right wingers in actual fascist dictatorships saying "sure, the President is destroying all his enemies and leading us on a glorious crusade but that bitch Elsa still has me in the drat friendzone!"

Antinatalism goes beyond "I don't want to have kids" to "Nobody should have kids." I mean, overpopulation is a concern but I don't think crusading to lower the birth rate to 0 is the answer.

It seems the Bay Area rationalist community is known for being a hotbed of insular weirdos and creepers. I do like this bit: quote:Lots of rationalists are just the autistic boring versions of Raskolnikov, where they think they have ascended past the standard mores of sexuality, into a new-post traditionalist utopia.

Night and Dawn were absolutely deliberate in what they were about. While Ben being black was simply about who they ended up casting, they were conscious while making the film of what having a black man in the lead meant. Dawn has stuff in the script about the mall as a monument to consumerism, and scenes in earlier longer versions of the film have Fran saying things like "You're so distracted by the flashing lights you don't realize it's a prison too." Heck a movie Romero made before that, The Crazies, is even more explicit in having an outbreak of murdering psychos be made worse by people's distrust and inability to cooperate. Also Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead are both really strong so the theory doesn't hold.

Beyond that a lot of abstract art isn't seeking representation or symbolic meaning- it's sometimes just "these shapes/colors, arranged in a certain way, are interesting to me". There's no meaning to decode, it's pure aesthetics.
