"Profoundly negrous" is fucking crazy man.

[-] hellomoto@lemmings.world 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Right, and he's so comfortable with this language. He's well into living on another planet where phrases like this are common place among his group.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Honestly, there's no real decoding this. There's no hidden messages or trying to see the underlying logic.

I'm guessing they've either got a little cult where they've given specific meaning to this little phrase, or it's just as dumb as it sounds and makes no sense.

I'm guessing it makes no sense on account of the it not making sense.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

I thought he meant naggers.

[-] ssfckdt 54 points 1 day ago

I... what does that even mean?

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 11 points 1 day ago

No idea. I do think billionaires are a serious problem and shouldn't be allowed. Dont care how many business they start. They have the power to buy elections and play games with our entire world so fuck em.

He is a racial narcissist (and racial fascist) who has narcissistic delusions about race that are his projections of his own insecurity. He gets narcissistic supply from people responding to his delusions as if they are real. Which is why narcissists crave proximity and control so much and are fascists, because their biggest goal in life is to cater and caretake their delusions, not to actually think or do things or be progressive. It's about the appearance of those things because it was always about narcissistic supply in the first place.

Most white men who are racial narcissists believe in:

  • physical narcissism, which they believe black men are superior to them due to eugenics from chattel slavery, including a belief that they are stronger, their dicks are better and they are better at sex (this is a REALLY big deal to them, more than you would realize). This is also why white supremacists wanted to EAT and DID EAT black slaves. It's also why they have to push narratives that black people are ugly, phrenology, etc. It's why they are so physically cruel to them - they overabuse them because they are physically insecure.
  • intellectual narcissism, which they believe they are superior to black people because of chattel slavery/owning them (aka sadistic and psychopathic abuse, not intellect) and the various white supremacy lies. This is why they don't like DEI. Again, remember this is projection- it's their own deepest insecurities they vomit out constantly through delusions.

Then these delusions can be applied to others not even in that group, because it was never based on reality to begin with. That's why he's calling white people the n word, he simply wants supply and it doesn't matter if what he says makes sense or is rational.

Tldr; Curtis Yarvin believes his own dick is small, he is bad in bed, he is weak, and he is stupid and a bad rich person who made his money like all very rich people - via slavery and theft.

Fascinating. I never understood why the cuckolding fetish (fixation? obsession?) came with such a strong overlap with, I guess, race play? Feels like a charitable way to put it.

I didn't believe it at first, but any quick web search will show that cuckolding largely is about the races of the people involved.

Which makes a lot more sense if seen through the framework you just described.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

There's also overlap with power narcissism ("might makes right", nearly always ties in to physical narcissism and intellectual narcissism), money narcissism (classism), gender narcissism (misogyny), and savior narcissism (the stuff you see in charities and churches, evangelicalism).

And more ofc. There's no limit to delusions someone can have.

All of that overlaps because there is intersectionality of narcissitic abusers, who then look for victims who safisfy that. We focus a lot of intersectionality of victims and not their abusers. But it's why Ted Bundy picked young white attractive college girls with long straight dark hair to attack - all of those aspects represent his own narcissistic delusions, they are not the fault or problem of the victim, but of the abuser projecting onto the victim. They look for perfect dolls or teddy bears to project onto. Ted Bundy was otherwise perfectly safe to Anne Rice and most people he encountered because she wasn't someone he could fully project onto - his narcissistic delusion enforcement wasn't triggered by her.

So for eg it isn't so much that Native American women are more likely to be murdered because they are Native women, but that there's a widespread narcissistic belief set that murdering Native American women is not a concern, so much so that police and media and much of the public ignore it or actively aid it. And now we see this issue magnifying with the deportations - where are all the women? Latinos are just Native Americans who were colonized by Spanish speakers, after all.

But when we focus on abusers instead of the abused, the abusers realize they will get cut off from supply and they have a huge pushback for control.

And yeah it all ties into sexual stuff too

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 23 hours ago

Never really thought of narcissisms in such a plural and mundane way. Is this a school of abnormal psychology or something?

Interesting lens to look through. I've always been a sucker for this kind of transactional analysis.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

There is something called "collective narcissism," and a lot of this info is in various studies and works. Here's one study about gender narcissism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-020-01193-3

[-] rozodru@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

ok I'm going to TRY to explain his thinking but I'm likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.

What he's saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they're insanely wealthy when "they're not".

this is what he likely means when he says "n-word rich". Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He's watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this "bling" has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that's what he means by "n-word rich".

he could have just said "The problem is the majority of billionaires aren't actually billionaires. They just think they are."

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

That's what I thought he was saying at first, but that still doesn't even make any sense though. You are either a billionaire or you are not. I don't know of anyone who goes around claiming to be a billionaire when they are not, and I could probably name a few who are but never mention it.

Also why would it be a problem? Is he saying there is not enough of a wealth gap? That's demonstrably false.

And what's with the nature and function bit?

Sounds to me he's just spouting hatred to be provocative without any real point.

[-] dariusj18@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Some people like to rebrand the n-word as a non-racial term. Pretending that it is not tied to skin color or racism but behavior.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago

The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?

There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.

Omg! this was unexpectedly good!! I almost stopped watching after the first minute thinking it's another "hollywood movie nerd" talking about imaginary superheros that fly and shoot lazers from their eyes.. Then suddenly my guy "the hollywood movie nerd" switched to real mode really quick just before you thought you could sleep on him! This guy! that was awesome!

It’s good to lurk and keep an eye on extremist spaces imho. Not good for the mental health, but helpful in intervening/deradicalizing teenagers following down those rabbit holes. Good to also prep counters and debunks to narratives before they take hold.

At what point do we start tagging him with "racist sympathizer Peter Thiel"?

[-] sith@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is there any point in doing that? All these guys are openly racist, anti-democracy and anti-america. Enemies of the state by definition (a state which is almost entierly under their control by now). We're way beyond calling out on racism.

And all my neighbors are still on board with Trump. Drives me nuts.

How is it that the weirdest dudes keep ending up with so much power and influence. Like, this is just bigoted shit obviously, but it's weird bigoted shit. What is it about people that makes them look at a weirdo freak (derogatory) like this and think "this is a man I need to have direct the entirety of my belief system going forward"?

Did he elaborate further on what that means? Seriously, where's the original tweet? there's no way nobody ask this racist twat in replies to explain to layman non-philosophers like us what is n-word rich billionares, and what he sees as a problem with his best friends Peter Thiel and Elon Musk? does he mean they they are leeching lazy mutants on society? does he meam they exaggerate or waste their wealth where it should not go? Is he criticizing them or is he actually with classism and billionares but just wants them to get their act together and invest in better things? is that something of the billionare-class shortcomings or does he oppose America's form of capitilism which lead to their existence?

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.

From Meriam-Webster's entry on the word

Did the definition of n----r change?

There is a widespread belief that the original meaning of n----r, as defined in dictionaries, was "an ignorant person," and a related belief that current dictionary definitions describing its use as a hateful, racist epithet are a recent change. We do not know the source of those beliefs, but they are not accurate. The word was first included in a Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1864, at which time it was defined as a synonym of Negro, with a note indicating that it was used "in derision or depreciation." There has never been a definition like "an ignorant person" for this word in any subsequent dictionary published by this company. Nor do we know of such a definition in any earlier dictionary.

There's been an attempt among white racists over the years to try and redeem the hard-r N-word. They'll say that it originally meant just an ignorant or foolish person in general, not only black people specifically. But this is a historical fiction. It's always been used as a slur against black people. It was originally a complete synonym for "negro." If you asked Yarvin, and he didn't just admit outright to being a flaming racist, he would likely justify it by making a claim like this. He would claim that he's saying these billionaires are just corrupt and foolish. He would say that it's OK to use the word, as he's not referring to black people, just ignorant and lazy people in general. He would say he's using the non-racist definition of the n-word. But again, this is a historical fiction.

Sometimes racists will cite words like "niggardly", meaning cheap or stingy, as an example of how the n-word could be used in ways not applying just to black people. Niggardly is a word that sounds like the n-word but actually does have a non-racist history. They'll try to link niggardly to the hard-r n-word. But what they ignore is that the word niggardly has a completely different etymological root. Niggardly shares roots with words like niggling, tracing back to the 13th century nig, meaning simply a stingy person. The n-word however, as Meriam-Webster notes, derives directly from the Spanish negro.. Racists will connect the n-word to words like niggardly, niggling, etc., citing their real history as non-racist words, and say that the n-word can also be used non-offensively because of this. But there is no common etymological root between the hard-r n-word and similar sounding words that do actually have a non-racist history.

Of course, it's all ultimately a moot point. In polite society today, most people understandably avoid using any word that remotely sounds like the n-word. See controversies around the word niggardly. And really, there's little reason to use words like niggardly, even if one could argue that they're technically not racist. They just sound way too similar, and there's plenty of other perfectly valid words to use in their place. And ultimately, someone could just as easily be hurt or offended by words that sound similar to the n-word even if they're technically not directly related. The words are best avoided, as they just end up hurting people for no good reason, even if some etymologist might argue they're not directly related.

I’m middle aged now, but I have to admit, while I’ve always known there was racism still around, and still part of the government. I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is. The kind of people in charge right now are literal cartoon villains when I was a kid.

I mean that literally.
