Plagued The Alt-Right

[Bungleboy]

The Dark Enlightenment is a super edgy new mode of political thought formed by the greatest aspergian minds of Reddit and other dens of shitposting.

Basically, they believe that the idea of human rights and democracy is too mainstream so the want an absolute dictatorship, but only if they're in charge, because mommy said they were smart.

Common themes in their circles are nerd culture references, conspiracy theories about evil socialists, and total pig-fuck ignorance of history, politics, science, and pretty much everything.

Big names:

Aurini

Douchebag in a permanent Anton LaVery cosplay, makes extremely cringey video rants on youtube, tried and failed to make a documentary about Anita Sarkeesian. Thinks a monarchy is the best idea ever, because Saudi Arabia is so much better than the United States.

Mencius Moldbug

Trust-Fund Manchild and tenth-rate programmer, wants to be a serious philosopher despite citing George Lucas as a prime inspiration for his beliefs. Yes, that George Lucas. He's the big name of the 'movement' because he has a wordpress blog.

Justine Tunney

Insane transsexual who tried to take over the Occupy movement by hijacking the twitter account. Wants Google to run America, throws a social media bitchfit every other day because her/his superior genetics somehow didn't grant her/him the ability to act like an adult.

These guys are a perfect blend of 2edgy and pathetic. Their biggest media outlets are wordpress blogs and tumblr, they're prone to infighting, everything about them screams incompetence. It's like if Hitler and Chris-Chan had the worst baby ever.

I found one of them online His name is DukeofQin he's a Chinese Nationalist that want to kick out Tibet and Xinjiang to create a pure Han state. He has a Reddit and a Wordpress he thinks there is a Jewish conspiracy to destroy China.

Why does it always have to be a Jewish conspiracy? Why can't it be like a Hindu conspiracy or something.

Lack of imagination.

I like this movement very much.

I like this movement very much.

In other news, Saudi Arabia is Muslim more at eleven.

Allow me to power level for a bit here:
I'm a contrarian, I have been and probably always will be. This is why some of these philosophies attract me simply because of how opposed they are to my morals. I would very much like to have a polytheistic theocracy, or a return to living in caves though, preferably if I'm in charge.
Here's the maybe-not-as biased Rationalwiki to give their two cents on the matter, it's actually a very informative article:

Hahahahahahaha.

I'm laughing at you.

 

[RepQuest]

Any neoreactionary sympathies that I might have instantly vanish whenever I read neoractionaries' textwalls, especially Moldbug's. They make me feel as if there's a giant blinking sign reading "FEDORA-TIPPING EDGEMEISTER" in my head.

Neoreactionaries always make the mistake of assuming their chosen jackboots won't execute them for being such dirty untermenschen.

In their minds, they are the jackboots. A lot of them focus on this idea that IQ should be the deciding factor for who's in charge, and since they're obviously the smartest and best equipped for the job, they'll be part of the new aristocracy.

 

[RepQuest]

Other than how they assume that they're going to be a part of the "chosen elite," how would they determine who is a part of that group specifically? I know that some of them give vague answers, such as, "Oh, we're not really talking about a king, per se, but a government run by shareholders, like a corporation, that could act as a monarch." How exactly would those shares be purchased, and what would the rules for purchasing them be?

Indeed. For all their supposed smarts, they never seem to understand a society where all power is in the hands of one person (effectively) with no checks and balances or impartial review mechanism, there's nothing to stop that one person from slitting anyone's throat for a reason as trivial as "why not, it amused me?" History has a long list of people who did just that and STILL thought they were the smartest, fairest, most perfect rulers the world had ever seen.

Democracy wasn't forced on society by some corrupt elite, it was a development born out of thousands of years of frustration of living under a system that had a high propensity for producing people like Caligula fairly regularly.

I'm pretty sure these edgelords are okay with that, they're just under the delusion that they're so special they'd somehow gravitate to that level of power themselves, even when they're obvious defectives. Of course, for all their talk of degeneracy, take one look at the inner circle of any fascist elite that has ever existed for examples of the lowest, vilest depravity humanity has ever known.

I think Justine Tunney is just a long-game troll. She used to be a huge leftist sperg during her Occupy days before going on this tangent.

Shut it down, the firangi know

Wasn't the Dark Enlightenment movement originally a spinoff of the Rationalist community? Those guys are almost lolcows themselves

 

[TowinKarz]

Ah, rationalism, the perfect political system for the self-enlightened, "Screw you, I got mine"

 

[Emiya Kiwitsugu]

@Marjan Šiklić get back into your own thread already you sperg. We miss you there.

Also.

Marge has been threadbanned. Carry on.

I remember hear about these shitheads before. Don't a few of them call themselves Sith Lords or something? When you call your movement the "Dark Enlightening" you're putting it pretty up front that you're trying to be an egdelord.
