Sham bam bamina! posted:MRAs use the concept of sexism against men as a boogeyman to justify their crazy, spiteful attitudes toward women. Therefore, crazy, spiteful attitudes toward men cannot ever exist, and certainly not on the Internet, where everyone is level-headed and understanding. I mean, I get that it's possible that she hangs out with dedicated man-haters (and holy crap is this not the place to have an argument over whether misandry is an actual thing or not), but when you're a neo-fascist who was just pictured with a couple of MRA propagandists, it does rather point to you sharing in one particular form of sexism.

Sham bam bamina! posted:Ah, that makes sense. I'd assumed that "misandrists" was the intended word, because it's pretty hard to switch those two antonyms accidentally, but I guess that it's more likely for UnoriginalMind to have made a bizarre mistake than it is for rabid man- and woman-haters to have willingly smiled together for the same picture. I was figuring that the 'neo-fascist' bit was important as well. Kinder, Küche, Kirche and all that.

To be fair, no-one would ever guess otherwise. I mean, they still won't now, because useful problem-solving is not a known skill for Internet neo-Nazis, but his self-awareness about his manliness shortfall is commendable.

I imagine that it's slightly difficult to make anti-Semitism a mainstream part of your philosophy when one of its most respected figures outside the movement is called Eliezer Yudkowsky. Not impossible, sure (bizarre mental gymnastics are kind of this lot's stock in trade), but difficult.

A whole lot of folks pick weird, quirky usernames without ever considering the possibility that they might someday become major figures. Hence why one of the more respected journalists covering the Arab Spring and its aftermath is called Brown Moses.

Right, yeah. Outside the U.S., 'liberal' often means 'socially-acceptable libertarian'. Since the U.S. doesn't have a firmly-established or well-supported tradition of outright socialist thought, liberals are the closest things the country has to a major, visible left wing.

The Vosgian Beast posted:A lot of neo-reactionaries love both SF and Fantasy though, being huge nerds. Do bear in mind that many subgenres of sci-fi have their own distinct politics. 'Space fantasy' like Star Wars borrows heavily from the fantasy politics mentioned above (obviously) with a sci-fi veneer painted over it, and mil-SF (military sci-fi) is notorious for circling around (and sometimes diving right into) overt fascist apologia. A particularly infamous example would be Tom Kratman's 'A Watch on the Rhine', where heroic Waffen-SS were resurrected to fight aliens.

For anyone lucky enough to be unfamiliar with Kratman, his afterword to Caliphate, a book about Europe becoming an evil Muslim empire is completely on-topic for this thread. Remember, this man was a lieutenant colonel in the US Army who gave lectures on the rule of law during peacekeeping operations.

And guys like E. E. Smith, the founder of space opera, were pretty open in their approval of fascism. That guy would certainly have been Hitler the sci-fi writer's contemporary, as would The Iron Dream's other inspiration, Robert Howard, whose entire oeuvre was shaped by his bizarre racial philosophy.

Jack Gladney posted:Do you think the nazis seemed this pathetic when they tried appropriating vikings and poo poo, or is it more the face that these turds are using comfortable nostalgic avatars of their bourgeois childhood to style themselves the death of liberal democracy? The Nazis were giant goons. Apart from his questionable taste in facial hair, Hitler delighted in the fact that 'Adolf' meant 'noble wolf', and did stuff like call his Eastern Front HQ the Wolfsschanze, or 'Wolf's Lair'. Goering kept making up super-special medals to award himself. Himmler created the Ahnenerbe, an organisation geared, in part, at weaponising magic. Rudolf Hess was a member of a bona-fide cult called the Thule Society whose beliefs appeared to be primarily based on Conan the Barbarian novels. They'd be hilarious if they weren't some of the most successful mass-murderers in history.

Like, somebody like that would fit in on the old Batman show, and DE people kind of do too insofar as they choose loving ridiculous names and want to do insane, impossible things. But they don't have lairs or costumes, even if some have codenames. The CEO of Cocoa-Cola would not, even if he's currently enacting a plot to monopolize access to potable water in a dozen countries and has hired death squads to crush unions in Guatamala. The Elm Guest House crowd had literal child rape dungeons in white-tie clubs. Occasionally, the rape dungeons had fancy-dress nights. They could get pretty theatrical in their evil. I mean, poo poo, a recently-deceased cabinet minister is accused, on alarmingly plausible grounds, of sitting on a loving throne in a full-length ballgown, out of his mind on cocaine, as a pair of underlings raped a little boy in front of him and beat him to death. We Brits do our abhorrent poo poo old-school.

How far can you go and how in reducing the horror of Nazi Germany and the Second World War before your hideous, backstabbing underlings go 'screw it, need a new Fuhrer, this one's broken'? Mind you, if you could find a way to quickly and quietly assassinate Himmler to start with, that'd probably give you a good lead before everyone else starts giving you trouble.

The other difference between Futurists and the Dark Enlightenment is that Futurists produced cool, inventive art when they weren't glorifying mass-murder, writing ghastly screeds about women, and signing up to die horribly in the First World War (there's a reason the movement was short-lived, and it can be seen by looking at the death-dates of many of its artists). I mean, check out some of Umberto Boccioni's work: Elasticity  The Charge of the Lancers  Unique Forms of Continuity in Space  Materia  Laughter  Dynamism of a Soccer Player  Meanwhile, the DE have created... what? Hoon and the Sarkeesian Effect?
