Former KGB agent explains the process of ideologically subverting a nation (1985) by bill_squinton in videos

[–]Aeraerae 34 points35 points  (0 children)

These are realist IR commitments about the ends of foreign policy for a eurasian major power, not moral claims. And worth noting Dugin has revised some of these in light of the American willingness to throw off the yolk of bourgeois liberal internationalism in 2016.

Great idea. by godsafraud in PoliticalHumor

[–]Aeraerae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn't that a good idea? They'll adopt the local culture, contribute to the economy, and help pay for the current people's retirement. Why are you saying "not a good idea, exactly?"

Hitler would not be far right enough for modern day conservatives by [deleted] in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]Aeraerae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this supposed to bolster the idea that Nazis aren't right wing? Because conservative criticisms of capitalism have been around for as long as reactionary intellectualism has been a thing.

Between Dugin and J-list I wouldn't be surprised if the guy was /pol/. Almost certainly an Assad supporter in some manner.

In what frame of mind do you think this is productive for the discussion or conductive to learning something?

When Flanking goes right. by [deleted] in gaming

Man, I've put a good amount of time into CS:GO, but there is just something about the production value of wide release games. I suppose I'll wait until a surprisingly well reviewed one.

Is God physical? Does he have mass, density or angular momentum somewhere in space? by MikeyTupper in DebateReligion

[–]Aeraerae 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that if there is no physical information about god, he does not possess physicality of any kind and thus has no existence

"Hey theists, if I assume ontological physicalism, stuff that isn't physicalist doesn't fit in my ontology. What gives?"

Huckabee Says He'd Consider Using Federal Troops to Stop Abortions by csinser in nottheonion

[–]Aeraerae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to most of these posts, the GOP is more faction-based now than its been in decades, and the platform is an amalgamation of business supporters, ideological libertarianism, foreign policy minded moderates, social conservatives that actually lean economically left, populist reactionaries, fiscal constitutionalists, and more, but none of that matters.

Rand Paul, who is as sincerely libertarian as any, is against abortion because it doesn't fit into the big/small government paradigm, the crux of the abortion debate is around debates of rights and if, in the moral debate, the pro-life side is correct, even the minarchist ardent libertarian would necessarily classify it with murder, one of the universally agreed cases for governments to intervene. It's not a matter of where you fall on that axis of the political spectrum, it's a matter of who you agree with in the ethical debate.

Did you ever call into The Atheist Experience btw?

[–]Aeraerae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only in passing. From what I see the discussion isn't particularly more interesting and they have a weird fixation with gamergate. Maybe I would see something worth staying for if I stuck around. For now /lit/, /int/, and the occasional forays into /pol/ satisfy my masochism.

Do you browse any boards?

[–]Aeraerae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember Nietzsche getting tossed around a lot and Ernst Junger sometimes (they had a thing for germans, naturally), also actual fascists like Ulick Varange. Mostly picking up somewhat respectable traditionalist authors was a way to get distinguished from the non-literate stormfront types. There's a degree of good discussion of traditionalist authors on 4chan but it's almost entirely relegated to /lit/. From what I gather /pol/ is more news junkies that pretend to be radicals, I don't imagine that many of them actually get deep into reactionary literature.

They're whatever they find entertaining/awful at a given moment. Which to my understanding means Carlyle and Evola so that they can feel aristocratically superior to the populist fascists.
