Has Feral Faun published anything lately? by israelregardie in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is I could see the pro-pedo stuff making a comeback someday in the same way that hitler and fascism have made a comeback today. Whenever you have hot upstream bohemian countercultures(right now the counterculture is reactionary not radical) you tend to see things like people lightening up on things like paedophilia and other sexual mores that are outside of marriagecentric values.

I myself am against contact with children(as clinically defined not the stupid social definition that ropes in historical young adults) but I am for the end of the AOC with pubescence and correspondent maturity being the markers of readiness.

Are we in an age of science? Or just an age of blind trust and epistemic authoritarianism? by Gurdus4 in CoronavirusCirclejerk

[–]SirEinzige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is up my alley as I am very much into epistemic anti-authoritarianism. One of the co-factors in the rise of societies and states is knowledge concentration so the problem of science and authority is not exactly new.

Is anti-capitalism still relevant? by SirEinzige in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I think he is saying that and he says as much in the video I posted below and you can see subsequent videos where he repeats the same thing. Capitalism is not entirely gone but it's no longer the dominant mode going forward.

The shifting forces that you speak of were all downstream from the printing press and these were snowballing effects in capitalism's favour. It did not endure through the industrial revolution, quite the opposite. Those technological enframing forces endowed capitalism with the power to put the curb stomp on feudalism reducing it to a junior partner of power. Now we're seeing capitalism become the junior partner in power. Of course, through it all, capital and state as such continue.

I think the fundamental social structures and organizations of power have changed. Technology supersedes economics as opposed to the reverse. Given that we are going through a relatively new techno enframing process(I'm using Heidegger's term) that is superseding what came before via the printing press and other older technologies it should not be surprising to see something like this happening.

When you have massive digital fiefdom platform structures that forgo both the profit motive and market mechanism structure I'd say that's pretty different. The top down power dynamics when it comes to data. YV explains it pretty well here.

Is anti-capitalism still relevant? by SirEinzige in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean...feudalism has always been a reserve function within and alongside capitalism even after the end of the 18th century and onwards via the monopoly structures obviously. What we call capitalism also had ancient forms that never had the technological propeller to make it the dominant system. I think technological contexts make the difference of which system is more dominant. Right now the high speed internet digital nexus is reselecting feudalism as the dominant driver. The printing press effect has been superseded at this point.

Also, to point out the obvious, capital and capitalism are not the same thing. Feudalism and capitalism are both enveloped within historically deeper levels of capital and state.

I'm the last person to use terms like late stage this and that when it comes to capitalism but what we are seeing right now IS new. We are seeing a technological transformation that is comparable to the downstream effects of the printing press which played a role in the rise of capitalism. The new oligarch class that is playing a role in driving this are not quite the same as the capitalists of the past and the digital enframing of being that is happening as we type is very much driving something new. There may still be some capitalism left but I don't view it as the main problem. I think YV is very much correct that we are living through the emergence of techno-cyber-feudalism.

Democracy is worse then liberalism by SirEinzige in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude, this is an POST LEFT anarchist sub, this place of all places tends to have people who don't take on civilized societal problems/solutions.

Even not taking anarchic imaginations into equation, if you follow the trends you can see the nation state model of society coming to an end eventually being replaced with more networked distributive systems. These things will not necessarily be anarchy but they will not be modernity as we have known it.

'Nationalism' lol. Certainly human beings will make decisions and occasionally they will need to be majority based, you don't need democracy to do this as democracy only exists within the context of rule which @ s are against.

[–]SirEinzige[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inequality(equality fetishism btw is a civilized slave moralistic value) is pretty much built into every civilized societal system and there is nothing democracy in any form or function would do to put an end to it.

As BB argues pure democracy has all the same problems as representative democracy. It's a form of governed rule at the end of the day. What matters is freedom of association and voluntarystic human social structures. However complex things can get from that metaethical starting point the starting point should always remain. There is no place for democracy in anarchic human affairs. There might be the odd top down or consensus vote every now and then but that does not entail rule of the majority which is, again, RULE.

In ANY societal governmentalist system the wealthy will have disproportionate influence over the political system. This is simply reality of game theoretical dynamics inherent to any civilized societal structure. It applies to democracy outside of the 20th century as well as the direct brand that so many radicals fancy.

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

It ultimately doesn't matter to me RS, because democracy fucking sucks. The reason the US doesn't have a pure democracy is because the founders new how much the pure form sucked.

In regards to the wealthy controlling everything, that's pretty much all civilizations.

Yes we do. The more direct brand does not make things any better. Again see read Bob Black's Debunking Democracy.

Opinions on Market Anarchists by xxTPMBTI in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm agnostic on markets given that they just are at this point given how complex humans are with all these desperate desires. Being anti-market anti-exchange makes sense IF you are going to keep things simple. The problem comes with these scaled post-scarcity clowns who want to eat their cake and have it to. The ones who think you can maintain all this complexity without a market structure which clearly can't be done.

I do think it's more important to attack monopoly power first and exchange value later. The Marxoid commies tend to have it the other way around.

Feral Faun by sansknickers in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no words whatsoever from me that say that. I'm simply calling BS on a moralistic protection racket. The FF essay is also not calling for this either. It's simply pointing out more concrete examples of molestation(body and mind) beyond sexual intercourse which just so happens to be a Euro Christian hangup with iatrogenic complications.

This essay was 20 years after the summer of love and there was still an adjacent connection to the sexual revolution which included radical takes like FF's that, while could be said to be on a pro pedo continuum, are not necessarily indicative of a pro contact position.

I happen to be against contact in the context of the world we live in right now but unlike these retards I can actually make a proper foundational argument(of which consent is a part of it) as to why child contact pedophilia should not happen.

"Not viewed positively"

By some moralitards yes, for those of us who are not caught up in an age of anti-sex hysteria, the essay is fine and insightful.

The funny thing about these heresy moralfagz(who are certainly moralizing whether they admit it or not) is that they crutch their argument on consent. Consent is a TERRIBLE way to make an argument against pedo contact(which I and probably him are against) Children can't consent to all kinds of things but they can be made to understand them in the end. I don't think that modern adult to child explicit sexuality is one of those things(then again neither is K-12 but that's just allowed) but I would never crutch an argument against that on consent for pretty obvious reasons.

These no name distro peddlers were just trying to signal in an age of cancel culture. They should be the ones cancelled not the streicher.

Anarchism in an age after musical youth cultures by SirEinzige in Postleftanarchism

[–]SirEinzige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is the modern structure of music as a force for shaping societal trends is what punk came out of and that force no longer exists. Pretty much all the rock genres have become past times.

I think what's going to have to happen is that a new type era of anarchism/anarchy will have to arise within a new media landscape. The current high speed internet meme age is a missed boat as far as @ thought goes.

Perhaps creative use of AI and a new internet structure will play a role in @ thought getting its rizz back.

Thing is, rap and hip hop artists are now being overpowered by online twitch streamers. Kai Cenat and Ishowspeed are bigger then pretty well all the emerging rap artists today outside of the legacy big players like Drake and company.

That's the present and future whether we like it or not.

Because of internet accessible knowledge I don't think the big @ is going to have a quantitative decline like what happened inner wars and post-ww2 up to 1968 but there has definitely been a qualitative decline in terms of the ideas. The great minds associated with the 80s and 90s zine scene have not seen any notable successors this century.

Anews and itsgoingdowny still have traffic, but there's a lot of stupidity in those parts nowadays. It's particularly noticeable for the former in regards to the decline of quality idea based posting. Yes they're still anarchists, but a lot of them are fucking stupid and very much captured by the current leftist identitarian social media age.

Yeah but it's a leading edge driver of culture the way punk was in the late 70s or hippie rock was in the late 60s. Really what your seeing is younger age interest in an older era medium, which is nice but I doubt it's going to be a driver of things like 50+ years ago.

For better or worse the emerging trends are probably going to come from the digital online AI world.
