rightoids will literally read a book where white americans serve as the literal incarnation of evil and commit crimes against humanity directedly lifted from reports about the American atrocities in Vietnam and think it's like a cool book about masculinity and the cowboy mindset.
incredible thumbnail from mr beast. The look of absolute horror on the child's face conveys the sublime terror that defeats even our ability to facially express anguish, while Beast's garish false smile mixes with the flat irrational perspective to unite both form and content.
the subway surfer videos are not an innovation they are a rehash of 2012 call of duty commentary videos where a guy would talk about Obama being Muslim and his battle with painkiller addiction over a 10 minute prerecorded video of him playing MW2
"Speedrunning" is both oedipal and laden with capital fetishism. The compulsion to play 'quickly' is a symptom which repeats the scene in which the child's play is threatened by the arrival of the Father and his violence, while also being an internalization of the drive to...

Bladee real name = nazi general

The anecdote about the song "Paranoid" ("People think I'm crazy because I am sad all of the time," etc) being called "Paranoid" because they didn't know the word "depression" >>>
You don't really see this kind of lie anymore. Nowadays if you're lying on the internet it has to be some elaborate story about how your significant other is crazy or cheating on you, not "I saved people's lives with my fanfiction and medical knowledge from the show House, M.D."
in fact these are not wild horses because no such thing exists. all "wild" horses are descended from domesticated ones and therefore merely feral, not truly "wild." sorry to spoil your "fun"
Having a Maoist party in some small European country in the 70s seems like a good deal, overall. You didn't even have to do anything and Zhou Enlai would still invite you to hang out in China like five times a year just for being ride or die.
the director of the CIA when the middle east studies department they funded produces nothing but monographs about homoerotic themes in 15th century Sufi poetry
Judging from the replies to that post though all gamers really want is a first-wave KKK simulator... many of them complaining about how the game keeps you from "having fun" by forcing a story on you...
Morrissey - Hitler
[Verse 1]
Hitler, oh, Hitler! Why'd you have to go and do it!
Oh, oh, oh, Hitler! Oh, my Adolf!
Oh, Adolf! Your mummy wouldn't be very proud, oh no!
The massive volume of calculations being carried out by the bitcoin mining facility are causing glitches in the warp of the pythagorean-euclidean spacetime order that Yaldabaoth used to construct this realm. This in turn distresses the pneumatic souls incarcerated in flesh nearby
"We're living in a nightmare": After the arrival of a massive Bitcoin mining facility, residents of Granbury, Texas are experiencing intense migraines, vertigo and heart conditions. One mom says her 8-year-old has lost hearing and has fluid leaking from her ears.

I believe the whole thing about him being a crazy murderer was completely made up (or rather given a veneer of scholarly legitimacy) by a biographer in the late 20th century
Crumps said fascism was like finding police brutality beautiful and the reactionaries all balked at that. The reaction to this latest murder shows just how right he was.
If you think about it, The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004) is really a socialist film about a homosexual worker and his lumpen comrade fighting to save the progressive national bourgeoisie (Mr. Krabs) from a feudal ruler (Neptune) and the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie (Plankton)
The view that twitter Stalinists have of Trotsky is insane. Even disregarding the accusations of being a fascist spy or whatever they don't understand at all how important he was in the actual revolution and civil war. One of them said he "was a decent officer in the red army"
Did you know? Mr. Beast's famous "Beast Burger" sandwiches are named for an Italian mass murderer dubbed "il Borghese della Bestia" who used his position as the bastard son of Vatican-aligned fascist politician Giangiacomo Borghese to abduct and murder up to 200 children.
William S. Burroughs: The goddamn Jews are putting electrodes in the dope to make your dick fall off if you make it with a boy. Straight from the playbook of the Mayans.
Deleuze: Ahh, c'est là une concept trés clair et profonde: la société de contrôle.
rationalize and increase the pace of labor in the name of relative surplus value. It is a sickly form of narcissistic play which rejects the agonistic and cooperative aspects of both higher sport and simple games.
imagine going to the British Library in the 1860s and seeing a grotesque German man who smells like shit rooting around in old government reports on agricultural yields and bleeding out of his eyesockets. you come back five months later and he's still there.
maddening that a bunch of insane incel lingo has now become not just 'mainstream' racial and gendered slurs, but even socially acceptable verbiage (e.g. 'looksmaxxing'). truly a fallen world inhabited by the craven.
I am fat, I am an amerikkkan
I do eat burgers and clap my hands
My nation is an imperial parasite
I do get superprofits as a fuckin bribe
then spend them on some more fuckin fries
and gobble them down with an extra large sprite
"people can't picture an apple" "only 1% of people have an internal monologue" -- all disproven by Hegel over 200 years ago. Every aspect of everyday action and interaction entails reflective self-consciousness and "higher," abstract modes of thinking.
there's this dude in one of my classes who's like 5'5" and jacked and he's always talking about "eastern wisdom" and unsubtly trying to demonstrate to the two Chinese students how enlightened he is
The idea for "Roko's basilisk," namely a monster that kills you if you are aware of it or think about it, was stolen from RL Stine's children's horror movie The "Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It," released in 2007, several years before the LessWrong forum even existed.
unironically what is needed is an uncompromising propaganda campaign against the very idea that a computer can participate in Geist. The worst outcome isn't that AI "becomes sentient," it's that people start treating it as if it were and we have to deal with their superstition.
My new essay
@TheHill
argues we need an AI rights movement. AIs are no longer just tools. They are quickly becoming digital minds integrated in society as friends and coworkers. The future turns on whether and how we include them in the moral circle. 🧵
average leftist conspiracy account: the militia movement is a cia/fbi honeypot to create brainwashed mass shooter nazi domestic terrorist super soldiers but they're also my friends
I’d much rather build with a principled (but probably a little bit racist) patriot/militia guy than some laptop job leftist cheering on forced calorie intake reduction caused by Nestle price gouging
zuckerberg will shatter m*sks monstrous and gargantuan ribcage with a single shaolin style one inch punch to the solar plexus. his manipura chakra will literally explode.
When you get this feeling you have to understand that reading in the academic context is like a quasi-weaponized practice. Its about competitiveness and having a slight edge in the literature over someone else so you can use to destroy and argumentatively judo throw them.
What makes the use of "daddy" as part of "dirty talk" especially bad is that it supposes that by merely mentioning the oedipal secret of sexuality one has thereby mastered it. In fact these 'libertines' are probably more closely confined in the oedipal triangle than most prudes.
Halo fell off because the vaguely Islamic feel of the covenant no longer gets American audiences' blood pumping. They need to add a new type of alien that looks Chinese if they want to catch up
When an English philosopher says something Bourgeois: stupid, reified thinking, evil,
When a German philosopher says something Bourgeois: an ironic comment that subtly critiques bourgeois society by being wrong--err, I mean by bearing contradiction within itself or something
Zizek in 1941: But I ask, is it not precisely *by,* how do you say... *collaborating* with these "fascists" that the left can prove itself capable of governing? Does such an action not precisely undermine the symbolic foundation of their power, namely by showing that the Big Othe
The use of "cunty;" "serving cunt;" etc. is very clearly motivated not by the conformity of trends or the logic of memetic language, but quite simply by the desire to transgress and say "cunt," which is one of the few really taboo words left in US-American linguistic practice.
if I lived in the roman empire I would think that seeing rows of crucified people on a hill was totally Aesthetic and I would post pictures of crucifixion sites on my ancient roman tumblr
It still pisses me off that one of the most hauntingly beautiful simple math rock riffs I've ever heard comes from this 49 second video of Drew Gooden fucking around.
