This guy gesticulates for almost two minutes before taking a drag off his cigarette and did not have a single sip of whatever he was drinking for the for 4 or 5 minutes that I watched before clicking x. Really good, insightful poo poo. I am glad he is using his intellectual powers to collaborate with Justine Tunney.

...Kinda like Robert Lopez being persecuted by the LGBT inquisition?

Weirdly (to my uneducated american mindset, which sees Canada as the land of happy friendly people who smoke lots of pot,) I've run into a LOT of Canadian military or ex-military who were really, really outspoken racists. Like "holy poo poo did he really just say that about black people? AND follow it up by talking about beating 'injuns' to death as a joke?"

There seems to be some serious racial tension in that country.

Surprisingly there's a lot of overlap between the techno-libertarian transhumanists and neo-reactionary monarchists.

Well not very surprising when you find the common thread: That rich western European people men are just naturally better than everyone else and we should just step aside and let the natural order maintain itself.

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?

quote:

Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty (which is especially stressed in classical liberalism) and equality (which is more evident in social liberalism).[1] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property.

I think this is Dark Enlightenment stuff? I have no loving idea.



Oh, and seeing as we spent the past couple pages talking about Justine Tunney and trans people, her being part of the DE movement makes even little sense. See this graph/mind-map in the OP?



As the OP kind of touches on, the HBD movement were basically the Dark Enlightenment before the Dark Enlightenment existed. We all remember The Bell Curve, right? That was the HBD movement.

Several members of the Human Biodiversity Institute, Ray Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey, promote a really controversial theory that basically says "if you're a trans woman and into chicks you've really just got a fetish for yourself as a woman". Back in 2003, the SPLC did a report into how horrifically homo/transphobic the HBI, and their pet theory of "autogynephilia", as they call it, actually is.

Ten years later, and Bailey still remains a professor, and was last in the news for using a "fucksaw" on his students. Ray Blanchard, on the other hand, managed to rise to chair a DSM V working group and get his pet theory in the book.

The Neoreactionary movement article is shorter.

quote:

The New Constitution Party of Canada (NCP) is an all-inclusive federal party based on Libertarian doctrine, Christian values, and National Socialist ideology. Our political movement incorporates the intellect of Dr. Ron Paul, the heart of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and the soul of Jesus Christ, into one powerful political Chimera that will crush the Marxist beast.

Our basic tenet is that we are one nation under God, composed of founders of many races and religions. God grants us Dominion over the Earth, including all plants and animals on it. In exchange, we must be responsible stewards of God’s project, and unite to protect his creation from the dark, Satanic armies of Marxism.

Basically World War I was a huge shock to Europe's intellectual community and while a lot of them went "gently caress the world" and invented Dadaism, a few instead decided "actually, war is awesome and manly!" Those were the Futurists. I mean, they had some other poo poo going on too, they were very big on motion and technology, but they're mostly remembered for being weird young men who wrote manifestos and were uncomfortably close to fascism.

The being old and dead also means the nerd is much less likely to have to have distressing social interactions with non-nerds when talking to other nerds about the product.

And I personally never got steampunk. Victorian England was a hellscape of air pollution and abject poverty rotting in disgusting filth and ruled over by imperialist butchers, it's actually in some ways worse than the Middle Ages, to the point where legal trickery and violence had to be used to make the peasantry give up their medieval-style subsistence farming lifestyles and move to the cities. In many ways being a peasant in 1250 was a better deal than being a worker in 1850. The peasant could even boast of owning some of the product of his own labor--the lord took some of the peasant's labor but the rest was for himself and his family.


"Choke damp" is an old-timey word for asphyxiant gases. These workers almost suffocated on poo poo and rot fumes, multiple times.
