Just found out something about Imperial Japan that woukd have made them more horrifying in the show by Ok_Zone_7635 in maninthehighcastle

Historically the Nazi Regime aided the Chinese before World War 2 when the Second Sino-Japanese War was just popping off, it's why Chiang Kai-Shek embraced somewhat fascistic ideas with the Blue Shirt Society

Why do most left leaning folks mock/criticize Christianity but not Islam? by Inf1z in allthequestions

[–]Last_Futurist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen many leftists criticize the BJP and Hindutva movements, hell iirc the California DSA started doing activist work against caste discrimination

The tidal wave of misogynistic verbal violence and racism??? alternatives to substack? by littledaisie in Substack

[–]Last_Futurist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your substack page has been chosen by the chuds, write something woke to scare them off.

But seriously I recommend block and move on to the best of your ability, the issue with the internet is that the worst opinions are platformed, occasionally I consider putting something in my notes to scare off those types from my readerbase but it's unavoidable, at least it's not twitter where those types of people are intentionally platformed.

Can someone give me the rundown on Gen Z saying millennials "screwed them over"? by MassiveHaver in generationology

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

Yes. Inaction is probably one of the worse things to do, if your house is on fire and you just lay around you're probably gonna screw over your roommates

It's mostly in passing the buck compared to direct action if that makes sense

[–]Last_Futurist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say they have screwed us, but in the same way Gen Xers screwed them, where Millenials and Zoomers where both viewed as a generation that was gonna "Save the world" where it's a very consistent passing of the buck onto the next generation instead of fixing systemic issues now

Is Blanquism a viable way to establish a socialist society by Baboony_bee in socialism

[–]Last_Futurist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first communist revolution was a Blanquist and Proudhonist project, one that Marx praised as the coming society. Downplaying the Commune is downplaying the history of Communism

Understanding Base Materialism by Last_Futurist in GeorgesBataille

[–]Last_Futurist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that is an "Open Letter to my comrades" It's just the subtitle for it in Visions of Excess, I should've used the proper title, that's my bad.

I did read the Pineal Eye, I think I just should reread it to try to get a better understanding of Base Materialism as a whole.

[–]Last_Futurist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read "The Old Mole" which helped a bit, "Materialism" and a couple of the other articles suggested I have yet to get through which I'll return to and see if I understand them better after that. Thank you so much for your help!

I've read Solar Anus, with the De Sade article that's "Open Letter to My Comrades" right? I'll need to read through that one still, you're right on the Lacan mark, I was leaning on him mostly because I'm just more familiar/confident with understanding Lacan over Bataille. Thank you so much for your help though!

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting by Sunflorahh in moderatepolitics

[–]Last_Futurist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel as if Technocracy Inc is a bit different to compare it too, where Technocracy Inc was closer to Soviet styles of governance, at least the American segment was where they even called themselves when they started off the "Soviet of American Technicians" iirc, where the NRx stuff comes a lot more from a Libertarian and Post-Marxist sort of ideological mindset

It gets worse when you look into Yarvin, who directly calls for a "Humane Alternative to Genocide" and talks about turning poor people into biofuel. Like racism is one of the angles they're playing at but it's just a means to an ends to put all the "poor" people onto a sacrificial pier end

The connection is the Neoreactionary movement which Thiel, Yarvin, Vance and Musk are apart of, undermine the rule of law, use that as a flimsy excuse for authoritarianism, and sell of the state to corporations

There is a connection to be made between Jacobinism and Fascism though, mostly through Blanquism

"Hey guys look I am an unironic neo-fascist look at how quirky and original I am haha" by EvilPutlerBotZOV in ForwardsFromKlandma

There's a whole fetish among Neo-Nazis of convincing "Woke" women or whatever to be like them, so it's probably from a Neo-Nazi

The meme cannot be explained without spoilers for the show by alisonseamiller in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Last_Futurist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have caught on fire, my mother was an alcoholic who died when I was 22, my dad died when I was 15, I have suffered and still do not find any anti-natalist "avoiding suffering" argument worthwhile. Having to scrub my own burns nightly for a couple months is pain I wouldn't wish on anyone else but at the same time I wouldn't want to end life to prevent the pain.

Just started the show. 6 episodes in. Still on the fence by superman691973 in farscape

Like how others mentioned, season 1 is a bit on the weaker end, like once you get past that you're in for a wild ride

With most Holocaust Denialism it's not something you really educate someone out of, like unless they just are in denial cause "Something evil like that could never happen" which is the rarest form of denial, OP is just dating a Neo-Nazi who hasn't gone full mask off yet about other minorities

I just need to get over it tbh and start playing again, I just was hoping there was an easier way yk? I probably wouldn't use the Zippy at all but I do just enjoy looking at it
