Whaling on the Left

Guidebook to the vast corpus of Moldbuggian assaults:

I recommend reading one of the 3 introductory series he wrote: How Dawkins got pwned and A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations are superb--An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives is also good if you're desperate to dose yourself with another 50,000 words.

 

Moldbug will never be popular because he crushes cherished delusions Left, Right and Center--then Left again for good measure. But, when he turns his powers to interpreting U.S. history (for the last 100 years synonymous with world history) he sports like a killer whale at play, one that found passage from ocean to lake, now the only predator that matters among freshwater creatures that have never seen his like before. His activities may amount to a succession of executions, but there is an art on display and a power and a wonderful whale-sense for selecting victims that sustains the interest perhaps indefinitely.

Men's Rights and the Anatomy of Reaction

The Southern Poverty Law Center--a bunch of commies, jews, fags, and slags who've appointed and proclaimed themselves supra-Christian accusers of all evil in this world, holier than Jesus--think Chateau Heartiste and other assorted bloggers who operate from a realistic male perspective are evil, violent, malicious, mendacious. The "manosphere" is increasingly a branch of the "reactosphere" since (except the Christian reactionaries) both are grounded in reality--a reality which both political parties deny. When the leftist media comes down on you, it's a sign of headway. Also, a lesser light among the lefties just did a typically incompetent and inaccurate hit piece on Nick Land, the British philosopher who writes "Outside In." If you look at the map of Dark Enlightenment thinkers below, the connections are telling: with the exception of the Christians, all of these groupings revolve around some key aspect of reality that the Left denies or omits. Eight groups are listed, three count:

1. Techno-Capitalists,
2. Ethno-Nationalists,
3. Christian Traditionalists.

The relations among these three are predictably problematic. In theory the first and second or the second and third could come to terms in formulating a new dispensation--though difficulties abound. But, the first and third can only clash. Of course, 'twas was not always so. In centuries past capitalist and techno were not so tightly aligned, and capitalism itself is not an existential threat to Christian life and thought. Catallaxy is not anti-Christian. But, in these days of genetic engineering and evolutionary science, of neurological pharmacopeias and expanding machine intelligence--the technological underpinnings of twenty-first century capitalism represent conceptual catastrophes for Christian theology. In practice, it may be that two camps will coalesce--the Techno-capitalists with some sympathetic Ethno-nationalists, and the Christian Traditionalists with another contingent of Ethno-nationalists.

The future lies with the Techno-capitalists, whether they achieve more power in the West or not. The Christians cannot countenance the nano- and bio-tech revolutions. If empowered, they will crash the technoplex and render their realm geopolitically prostrate, as Land's "relentlessly self-enhancing" oriental realms scout new destinies. As to the Ethnos, though their present importance shines clearly through dusky leftist miasmas, what does the meaning of ethnicity reduce to when time comes that all humanoid inceptions aspire to become genetically engineered triumphs of power and aesthetics? Their perspective on reality would have to evolve so radically in face of such techno-leaps as to vanish their identity. Or, they could turn techno-denialist like the Christians. Either way, tide-taken relics of advancing storms, the time of the Ethnos draws down . Science has grown to the dimensions of a Demiurge--learned to throw lightning--and, cast under His dominion, the lesser deities will learn their place soon enough, or be new made in his image.

Vive la France?

'Twould indeed be slightly ironic if the French were to lead the way out of the Brussels trap, this transnational bureaucratic dictatorship, successor disaster to the Soviet Union. It matters not a whit to me who leads, so long as it happens. And the French have been infatuated with the political about-face for 224 years. Also, they've frequently allied themselves with the Russians, who've returned to a semblance of strength and self-respect. Another incentive: to distinguish themselves from their great historical rivals, Britain (where Socialism is again on the march and only Muslims have free speech) and Germany (which is still prostrate with "national guilt" and reveling in masochistic denigrations of itself). And to snub the Americans, as this emphatically would, also forms a priceless triumph for the French, high and low--especially with a walking caricature of political correctness trying to perfect socialist tyranny from the White House. In any case, I'd rather contribute to "le Front National" than to either of the twin tools of cowardice and corruption "competing" America.
