It’s like mirror universe Niles and Maris
He looks like younger, bow-tie era Tucker Carlson. Twat.
i knew this fucking reminded me of something.
It’s true though. They’re not nazis. They’re incapable of being fired by any fundamentally political or spiritual ideals, no matter how ultimately black and nihilistic, at all. Even if these people were full-throated card-carrying members of the American Nazi party marching through Times Square with a swastika flag throwing out copies of Der Sturmer from a Panzer tank they wouldn’t be nazis. The fact is that they’re just the purest distillation of 20th-21st century media culture yet: they’re so utterly saturated in media that the only choice they’ve made, the only choice available to them, was whether to lean into the goodie or the baddie vibe, and they plumped for “baddie” because it suited their contrarian aesthetic and then, without even leaving a ripple on the surface, they slipped into the role and inhabited it so thoroughly that it is, literally, indistinguishable from who they are.
These people are nothing less, and 100% nothing more, than your childish glee at getting to play the villain in an RPG.
p-zombies, but nazis
Dead Snow, but more pee

I’m pretty certain I get more glee from my RP than they ever experienced in their lives.
“Not Like Us” was less scathing than this. Fucking hell.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is “Nazi.”
I’m saying this goes further!
Actually I feel kind of irked that this reply seems to just miss the part at the end of the paragraph that says “it is, literally, indistinguishable from who they are”
I didn’t miss it. I just don’t see any need to be elaborate about the word nazi, although I do appreciate what a crushingly insulting description of them you gave
Paraphrasing Santayana, we must understand why people become fascist, or else we will not understand how to prevent ourselves from making the same mistakes of dehumanization and black-and-white reasoning which characterize their piss-poor attempts at logic.
Scholars of fascism and nazism do it all the time! The target of quotes like that is supposed to be those who deliberately muddy the waters. The “call a nazi a nazi” principle is a blunt instrument, and there are other tools in the anti-nazi kit.
[some hours later…] ah, the quote is from AR Moxon, whom I happen to know is both (a) not remotely averse to going deeper on what makes the nazis, (b) distinctly averse to not going deeper
Whats the context for this? (Sorry if someone mentioned it and I didn’t find it)
Already asked and answered elsewhere in the comments.

Danke
unfortunately had to slap my youngest child, hyperion dipshit, in the target parking lot today after he failed to show proper respect to a cybertruck. before you call that abuse, just ask my other children, aryan chlamydia and maximus trifecta what they think
confiscating Adeptus Mechanus’s iPad to teach him a lesson about makers and takers
cursed subskeet is what we plan to name our fourth child
Dude looks like Edward Sallow’s cum dumpster.
Whats with the boots?
can’t goosestep without great boots.
Does anyone else think that they look stupid?
my husband and I are just trying to repopulate the world
I think it’s cute when siblings dress to match.

Yeah that lady and her son look real nice.
You know what
That guy sits like he’s allergic to the back of chairs.
He looks like a dog that’s just been shown a treat.
You can’t see it but he has a biscuit balanced on his nose.
Serious business about serious stuff.
When I played dress up in my grandparents ancient clothes, it was the posture I would take so people would take me seriously. But I have changed a lot since last week.
Something something poker up his backside.
Goals ngl
To find a partner and start a family? Or to dress so that people make fun of you online?
#2 really but with a partner is better. Fun aesthetic imo
k. have fun getting punched.
ironic naziism is just naziism and nazis can fuck right off
and since we’ve confirmed you’re a fucking idiot… holy shit you were serious about that “you’re assuming P!=NP” post in the last thread?
i’ll take trolls “pretending” to not understand computational time over fascists “pretending” to gush over other fascists any day
you shoulda lied
Own-goals count as goals, I guess.
The biggest issue with these people is they use “reason and logic” to arrive at their belief, but literally fail to connect dots because of their removal from reality.
the problem is most acute in countries that are “technophilic, pluralistic, educated, where women have rights”.
It’s not because women have rights though. It’s because rich fucks like his mentor Musk absorbs the majority of prosperity in nations. If there’s no hope, there’s no reason to continue.
The only places where the birthrate is not falling to unsustainable levels are countries where the average citizen earns less than $5,000 (£4,000) a year
And this isn’t even true. Places like India, even the poorest of the poor regions, are seeing their population boom quickly decline. So while technically they haven’t hit negative values, they’re already moving in that direction.
Whenever you hit max value for a resource, you’ve hit peak that resource, and humanity has hit peak humanity in terms of how the various governments and economic systems view value in their fellow mankind. Economic systems have no additional value to give (or value that they WANT to give) to human beings. There’s just no additional investment going into that resource. We’ve hit peak humanity in an economic sense, so there’s just zero reason for something to grow if nothing is being invested into it.
This would be clear to this couple if their heads weren’t so far up their asses.
Not a mention in the article of the impact of pollution on fertility, which isn’t inconsiderable.
Two factors that have made the birth rate go down are a) greater access to contraception and abortion for women and b) reduced numbers of teenage pregnancies. Of course forced births and forced labour are a-ok with these two.
Meh, personally I think pollution impacts on fertility might be overblown. Not in any way negligible, just overrated.
For example, microplastics are being found everywhere now but widespread plastic use was about 1/6th the current levels over 40 years ago so you would expect it to have been an issue going back decades. Methane emissions also cause birth defects and loss of fertility, but states with refineries and flare stacks also have higher rates of teen mothers (unintuitive correlation of conservative policies).
On the other hand, the fastest growing populations are places such as the middle east with low to nonexistent women’s rights, while the slowest growing are places with women in positions of power and education. In 1994 in Cairo the United Nations came up with a plan to curb poverty and starvation in the region by limiting population growth by… checks notes* educating women.
That all said: Population Decline is a good thing. It should decline. 200 years ago we had a billion people, and we had flourishing arts and sciences and engineering marvels such as the London Underground, typewriters, trains and canals across continents, the first Soda Fountain. Less people doesn’t hinder humanity in any feasible way. More people is going to kill this planet.
Sorry for the rant.
