blinkandwheeze posted:the post-political anarchic retreat to individualist religious identarianism & mythic white nationalism has been the primary mode of development for western fascism for decades. while peterson himself may not be particularly significant the line of thought he embodies is far more in line with a genuinely american expression of fascistic intellectual development & i doubt will dissipate

he talks about it all the time but as far as i can tell he knows absolutely nothing about evolution at all, or biology more generally. never see him called out on it either, and he goes a step further than most dipshit evopsych nerds by positing that literally everything every aspect of society and culture is the product of evolution including markets and presumably Nazism genocide etc. Like Hitler and the boys however he places his real and imagined enemies outside of these realm of natural and necessary "evolution" and do pogroms until Order and Tradition are restored and secured

swampman posted:Thor: Ragnarok is an homage to The Triumph of the Will, it even features leitmotifs in the score (reifenstahl scored triumph of the will with wagner)
Having not seen the film or any of Marvel's recent productions, I'd suspect that was probably an aesthetic-commercial decision made by the studio given the usual soundtrack in Marvel movies (outside of maybe Guardians of the Galaxy which is 99% James Gunn's favorite 60s/70s/80s pop songs and a memorable theme song and its variations) rather than a covert appeal to the nazis. See: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/thor-ragnarok-composer-acknowledges-marvel-scores-sound-same-1054503
Also as an aside, I'm wondering what are the general musical tastes of the altright atm? German Romanticism (i.e. Wagner preludes)? Parody Pepe Covers of pop songs made with vocoders (not to be mistaken with the evangelical fascists, who have the talent/resources to use their own undistorted voices http://www.godhatesfags.com/audio/parodies.html) ? Neofolk/Nazipunk? EDM? Ace of Base?
le_nelson_mandela_face posted:sam harris is kind of like jordan peterson, not just in that he's a reactionary figure presiding as a logic liberal, but also that he's convinced a lot of them that what is obviously magic is actually Science, which i Fucking Love. harris is the prime mover of the idea that buddhism is More of a Philosophy, Not a Religion, and that its major claims have been proven by science. which is weird because i missed the story from CERN that they had discovered proof that the self is locked in an eternal cycle of reincarnation into six realms including the mortal, demonic and hungry ghost realms depending on the morality of ones' acts as judged by compliance with the teachings of the Bodhisattvas
imo, it's much more worthwhile to do what Gibbonstrength did for Harris in his front page article here, or what the Viewpoint article did for the thread topic, and describe the exact ways they're frauds as self-described experts.
It doesn't matter that none of their worshipers are going to accept that or really even understand why it's the case since those guys have followers because they tell people what they want to hear in ways they can parrot. But exactly because their cults are nothing but a gigantic argument from authority, stunting on them with take-downs of their false gods' qualifications, that's far more effective than alternatives when there's an uninformed or undecided audience observing the argument. Then you can just dismiss anything they offer from those guys by saying Oh yeah that's the guy I already explained knows nothing about the topic, moving on...

^like, fleshing this out from the perspective of a competent expert or practitioner would be a good article/OP imo, ganbatte. i've seen the poster of this thread link some stuff to that effect iirc.

I removed my other tweets above bc they werent really interesting but the movie ends with a rebellious badboy with a shaved head killing lots of the Slay Queen's soldiers with his dual AR-15s thus saving the Asgard race. Then they nuke their homeland to purify it and Thor points out that anywhere his people go is rightfully their homeland. Also the other place in the movie that is not Asgard is a world made entirely of garbage.
babyhueypnewton posted:He is notable only because he has to vocalize white male settlerism which means it's already dead rather than hegemonic as common sense.
I think the exact opposite is precise, he is notable only in so far as he is "noted", i.e. endorsed and promoted precisely because all he is doing is personifying and espousing a vulgarized form of white male settlerism (capitalist orthodoxy) which remains hegemonic despite pretenses to the contrary; this is why he is adored and lavished with all manner of flattery and exposure by the liberal media in our ostensibly postracial postideological etc little shit hell of a culture mode of production etc. He's enunciating and reinforcing the prevailing but unspoken orthodoxies which never ceased being operative hhere in the imperial core

and it doesn't hurt that the argument in question supports the idea that all the people prominent in the Western news media are the right people to tell everyone else what is and isn't true and what to about it, even if the guy himself and most of his cult probably tend to pretend-hate any given media figure.
So most of the prominent media people are just going to read about what he has to say and think, Yeah well he's right that I'm successful because I'm superior so he should just take his own medicine and listen to me and vote Hillary and write articles on why Amazon ad campaigns for bourgeois lesbian marriage registries are woke.
That sort of thinking is part of what defines your average bourgeois Democrat or Labor Party intellectual nowadays. It's why they were so easily played by the U.S. deep state fuck-over on Putin & the 2016 election, because that brand of liberals' whole M.O. involves half-convincing themselves of attack lines based on their opponents' own lines of thinking to demonstrate those opponents' "hypocrisy", and as always, the result is that the argument is just turned around on them instantly by people much more at home with those ideas. So now Trump supporters are talking about how Clinton and Michael Moore are Moscow's paid agents. And that also serves the purpose of the deep state in other ways by ginning up general paranoia to keep them funded, so they're hardly going to jump in to help their supposed new Democrat allies. And it's the same thing here, the "left-wing" liberals in the media are unable to keep themselves from promoting this guy's ideas because their own ideas aren't significantly different, about "post-modernism", about Western culture, etc., but especially about their own class within society.
chickeon posted:the complicity of Google in disseminating this garbage and enabling predation of vulnerable kids and both parties making bank from it at the same time
this part is also LOL because of the same thing: it's enforced through Google's algorithm in part by how "left-wing" Anglophone pseudo-intellectuals, as a form of signaling about their seriousness as pseuds, have followed for years an unquestioned axiomatic doctrine of xenophobia in discourse. This doctrine says that every writer they've never read with a French last name must be part of "postmodernism" and that "postmodernism" has invaded and wrecked Western education (when it's the same bourgeois education that ensured those same liberals never read any of those writers, half of whom are aggressively modernist anyway).
Ever since people started being desk-camera pundits on YouTube years ago, the algorithm has been primed by college-educated Democrats to promote videos about how Derrida causes cancer or whatever. So now, as with every other form of aggressive racist-reactionary thought, the Democrats are like, "Damn this blows and sucks, it's not at all what we intended when we promoted a stealthier version of the same fascist ideas for decades"

It's easy to see why he's so popular with the alt-right guys: despite the huge gap between his class and lifestyle and that of most of his fans, he's fundamentally the same aspirational tough guy, constantly trying to process the contradiction between his passive modern existence and his personal fantasy of traditional masculinity.
