that guy has literally never been mask on
I find it funny how bad guys in fiction openly expresses that they’re in the dark side. That’s so comical it can’t happen in reality. Right?
Nah, this guy is embracing ”Dark Enlightenment” as his core philosophy.
You start out thinking that the fictional one-dimensional villains are realistic as a kid
Then you grow up and realize that they were just intentionally overdone hyperbole
Then you grow up even more and realize that the fictional one-dimensional villains are very real
If you dig deep, Nick Land (coiner of the term “Dark Enlightenment”) draws a lot of influence from Bataille - and specifically fucked up shit written by Bataille. He’s got an article all about the philosophy of the “Story of the Eye” which is basically snuff erotica.
“He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[3][18] He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than black people,[18] and opposes U.S. civil rights programs.[19]”
holy fucking hell
Never his race though, that'd be silly.
I've seen this for hardcore libertarian. They have one of the most unhinged subreddits. Their mod Derpballz was rather prolific is showing up to random communities with that BS. Bro is currently ban evasion as Irresolution.
"neo-monarchist" "hardcore libertarian" I love it when people have coherent views which aren't self-contradictory.
and people wonder why i don't want to use urbit
What a definitive neckbeard good LORD.
