Helsing posted:The fascist movements you refer to attempted to cultivate a mass base and seize political power. The ambitions of the NRx movements seems to revolve around utilizing technology to do an end run around any kind of serious political mobilization. It's a fascist version of the singularity, which is perhaps another way of saying that it's fascism for shut ins who would rather photoshop themselves as Magic the gathering cards rather than try to seize state power. It's hilarious that they think the problem with ein Reich, ein Volk, ein Fuhrer is the existence of the volk.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I like how it goes down below ancient Egypt as if we became literal cavemen during the medieval period. As if any sort of technology just vanished during that period. Yeah totally, we forgot how to use iron and wrote in hieroglyphs again, right? Let's just totally ignore that metalworking and masonry got progressively (but slowly) better during those several centuries. As did seafaring. Let's also just assume that people dressed exactly the same for like 800 years and nobody painted anything or made a statue anywhere. History isn't party of STEM and is therefore useless.

Woolie Wool posted:Unlike Atwater though, they are profoundly stupid so their dog whistles are extremely transparent. It reminds me of the MRA/redpill/gamergate types who like to try and pretend to be"sjws" and say stupid poo poo to discredit their enemies, but are too goddamned dumb to be convincing and are always baffled as to why they were caught out.

If I believed there was an international unstoppable conspiracy of Jews, I feel like I'd be awfully reluctant to piss them off.

Like, how can you move in these circles and think you're doing anything original or unique? You say there should be a tiny class of all-powerful property owners who everybody else must obey and bow down to? Goodness, what startling originality of thought!

Basically American Cold War propagandists went out of their way to persuade people that "capitalism" just means trade or exchange or choice, and millions of mouthbreathing idiots and smart people without access to or interest in actual economic theory alike swallowed it completely.

Zodium posted:are you sure you didn't do it because there was no longer any question regarding the mutual exclusivity of deductive and inductive inference? i'm not sure what you want me to say about the paper since you only brought it up as some kind of defense for why deduction/induction is somehow useful dichotomy for anything. i'm familiar with it but i'm not gonna re-read the whole thing because you made a "ACTUALLY, Websters defines ..." style reference to it I can't tell if this is a c/p from LessWrong or what.

Lovecraft is at his best when his villains are some variant on "holy poo poo, the cosmos is huge and bizarre and there's no place for us in it", like Yog-Sothoth ("Time and space are one in Yog-Sothoth" is a lot more impactful when Newtonian physics is still only just being displaced by Einsteinian relativity) or the way that humanity is just a particularly interesting thing to study for the unbelievably ancient Great Race of Yith, who came millions of years ago from another planet and will eventually abandon this one once they're done with it.

De Sade is hilarious from a certain perspective because he wrote book after book expounding this worldview he had and literally all of it is just him having this incredibly complex jerk off fantasy life. In 2016 he'd be super into Sonic the Hedgehog, you just know it.
