things about this for me is Justine Tinney throwing her support behind this movement. What does she think they'd do to transsexuals like her if they ever managed to gain any actual power, and why does she think it would be any different than what fascists always do?

Iron Dream was a miserable slog that makes its point in about 20 pages but just goes on and on. And the  factor makes it feel like an extended strawman argument. Admittedly I haven't read the infamously bad science fiction of that era (John Norman? L. Ron Hubbard?) so the comparison may be valid.

Somewhere I heard about a science fiction story where when the brain uploading tech is perfected and everyone goes to live forever in a computer the rich can afford better equipment than the poor and so they get smarter and smarter while the poor get dumber and dumber.

Hellequin posted:Eh, it's a pretty decent representation of aim of his philosophical programme, upholding any and all social hierarchies, the more regressive the better. And to be fair, in the very same interview he offered that half-hearted renunciation for his original condemnation of homosexuality he also gave up these gems. I dunno, this one seems pretty on point to me.

Satanism (e: or the Church of Satan, particularly) seems mostly to be about dancing on the grave of Christian hegemony and celebrating personal liberty, which obviously is of limited usefulness but still owns at least a little bit IMO. I can understand the appeal especially if you're a little older and remember the Satanic Panic or anything like that.

lovely behavior I know but it's so, so hard not to on some level gloat about this. Kriss is an unprincipled contrarian given to extreme politics because he feels validated by and seeks out the rejection of people he considers inferior. So he's basically the exact Twitter equivalent of a guy who thinks it's really hot when you say "Stop, no, don't."

The Vosgian Beast posted:There’s a huge difference between the merely bland and the outright harmful Getting offtopic here, sorry, but Cinemasins is worse than bland, and a line from the article specifically brought it to mind. "This is content production in the age of algorithmic discovery — even if you’re a human, you have to end up impersonating the machine." CS began as 3-5 minute installments of jokey remarks on films' cliches, plot holes, continuity issues, etc. but ballooned in length to take advantage of Youtube's monetization method. To get their videos to a suitable length they will be willfully dense or just outright lie about the content of films, and their audience goes along with it; you can find plenty of comments on any given video praising them for what they do. They are spreading misinformation, and they know it, and that misinformation is being taken to heart. Their videos are the way they are because of the way Youtube's monetization works. In order to make money they have to appease a machine, exactly how these creepy kids' videos work, in fact exactly how late capitalism works when your concern is the bottom line. They're unprincipled and their content is barely human. "Merely bland" my rear end.
