Ha ha, her supervisor silenced her? That's delicious.

I've been waiting for this thread for ages. I can't get enough of the loving magic cards. How do they not realize how ridiculous that looks?

iirc they had to take down the Magic Card page because someone told Wizards of the Coast

Which is hilarious

Anyway here is Justine Tunney helping some MRAs film an anti-Anita Sarkeesian video.

Only one of these people knows how to look vaguely presentable.

Is Alex Kiergegaard/icycalm an established Dark Enlightenment person? I know somebody actually made an Dark Enlightenment card pic or something at one point, but for obvious reasons like keeping my sanity I can't be arsed to go check through hell itself to find it.

If anybody is insane enough, there's this prelude to his "magnum opus", also known as the the worst page on the internet right here, if I linked it right.

He also stole a bunch of money via auction fraud long ago, just to get an idea of what he's like without having to go to that link to figure out his true fake-Nietzschen self.

No and you bring him up in like, every thread.

His conclusions are (of course) bullshit but his starting point is too--a lot of pre-18th century European societies deliberately spaced their children after marriage, since if you have too many kids you either have to figure out a way to feed them all or it fucks up your inheritance. Average number of kids per family in Germany in the early modern period was four.

It's a woman, actually. Still bullshit though.

The DE doesn't believe Jews are "bad rulers," or even that they're the ones who rule the world. That's part of what distinguishes them from other far-rightists.

Moldbug does admire anti-semites though

quote:

In fact, anti-Semitism MacDonald style is probably the most courageous political belief anyone can hold in 2007 - at least if you live anywhere west of Gaza City. This does not make it right, but it certainly does not give anyone who believes in "diversity" and "the environment" any right to sneer. I admire conviction, I despise cant. Anti-Semitism was cant in Munich in 1936, or in 1886 for that matter. It is cant in Tehran today. In California in 2007, it can be nothing but conviction.

I�m trying to avoid discussion of reproductively mature female ants, but since some people I know have gotten involved I might as well give them a shoutout. SSC reader Mytheos Holt talks about the high level of bullying and cruelty in Internet feminism, and Internet feminists respond by making fun of his appearance a lot. I would love to know what is going on inside these people�s heads: �Somebody called us bullies! How can we disprove this? I know! Let�s call him ugly and make fun of his face!�.

So I guess that quote about LOTR and Atlas Shrugged isn't so true after all.

John Rogers posted:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

There was a short-lived tendency in NRx to believe that humanity can be divided into the descendants of neanderthals and descendants of non-neanderthals.

I hate it how they late words we're all familiar with, give them totally different definitions, then just run with it and assume you understand. What the hell is the difference between a 'leftist' and a 'liberal'? Apparently leftists are awesome and you should totally aspire to be one, but liberals are terrible shitheads you should hate. Aren't they synonyms?

I assume they're using more european definition of Liberal, where it's more associated with limited government than the American usage.

neonnoodle posted:

Chesterton had a huge influence on both Tolkein and C.S. Lewis, and Chesterton (and Belloc)'s Catholic socialism was pretty compatible with monarchy. Not coincidentally, Chesterton and Belloc were also xenophobes who thought the influx of ethnic immigrants to Britain, combined with evil technological capitalism and banking, was going to ruin their pastoral fairyland.

edit:
This stuff works great if you're a Tory (like the article you posted gets into), but it's completely antithetical to American values. David Brin has a nice essay series about how awful the values of LOtR and even Star Wars are.

I'm trying to remember who it was who observed that in genre fiction, high fantasy has always been the domain of Christianity and European ethnic identity, and conversely sci-fi is dominated by assimilated Jews. The point being that sci-fi embraces a metropolitan, technological, secular and democratic future ideal that is very much in line with the sorts of American dream stuff that brought Jews to the US. It's reformist and progressive by its nature, even when it's dystopian, because the dystopia is usually a critique of lower social states like fascism. High fantasy on the other hand is nostalgic about a return to a social order where white kings, queens and knights literally lorded over everyone else by divine right.

A lot of neo-reactionaries love both SF and Fantasy though, being huge nerds.

They should ask Marxists how waiting for something to collapse based on historical necessity has worked out.

Maybe I'm living in a fool's paradise but I think it's possible to be angry at Bank of America, Lehman Brothers, rich financial sector douchebags, etc, without it being code for antisemitism. Or is this like the thing where (some) Texans complain about "Canadians" on Facebook and "Canadian" is secret code for "black?"

It totally is. A lot of conspiracy theories have remained basically the same but with "bankers" swapped with "Jews.

It is, of course, possible to hate banks for reasons that aren't anti-semitism, but a far-right dude complaining about the Frankfurt School's baneful influence is probably just a crypto-racist.

It's really funny how the people who can't shut up the most about how western civ rules and we've got to protect it from its ongoing genocide also basically worship al-queda's kill em all attitude and openly want to genocide them just as bad as ISIS does to unbelievers. If DE posters think THE TERRORISTS have their heads screwed on so straight to reality and all the western limp-wrists don't, doesn't that indicate western civ isn't superior actually, since its marketplace of ideas produced all these little babbys and their progressive enablers who can't handle a real man's man's war? You know the kind of war where you kill/gently caress/nuke everything that moves. Old school.

Radical Islam and the DE basically believe the same things, but they're at odds because fascists have never been ones to let racist tensions go to waste.
