A thread about kiwifarms (and related phenomena) should be created, it is not the first time it has been brought up.
As for my two cents, I find the existence of this thread: https://kiwifarms.hk/threads/official-ki...ad.169351/ really emblematic of what this website is becoming.

It's interesting how naturally a seemingly masculine hobby of trolling/doxxing freaks online has transformed into feminine gossip.

Isn't that just a consequence of "no involvement" rule? Both kiwifarms and subreddits mentioned above ban users for contacting lolcows, and trolling is impossible without that.

A thread on why I have a crippling addiction to EU4 and War Thunder and the only thing that supersedes these addictions is my love for Trump and Hitler

A thread on how Anthony is a pederast who jerks off to little elf boys, and will soon die of AIDS

I am not sure if this should fall into the Zoomers thread, but it would be interesting to examine how important Aesthetics have become to "based" teens

I remember Mikka tweeting about the meritcrat’s need for a philosophy of history. This tweet struck me, at the time, because I could not understand what he was saying or why, but now I’ve intellectually matured I feel prepared to challenge such a question. (If anyone has a screen shot to the post please include.)

Now, before beginning, I wanted to start off with some baseline theory to structure a future thread—not that unorthodox opinions will necessarily be shunned. First off we should start with stating that not all worldviews are welcoming to the historic interpretation. The premodern consensus on the issue was that most historic events were profane aberrations that escaped the transcendental vision a culture’s myths imposed upon it. At most, when they synchronized with this mythic view of advancing events they only stood to further infatuate a peoples with their myths; the only outlier being Christianity/Judaism(or rather the Hebrew priest elite tradition(not to exclude Judaism with this information btw)) which saw a progressive view of time determined by providence. This Judeo-Christian view of history represents the second philosophy of history that Marxism also falls into(although I add it, I mean not to conflate the two). Both Christianity and Marxism see all historic events determined by some actuating force which drives history towards a conclusion; that conclusion being a heavenly or earthly paradise respectively. Within this second family of though there is no room for the random—often times called nihilistic—view of history that confers to it no greater significance than itself. Thus we arrive at the third worldview that sees history as a series of accidents with all progress being something achieved against the tide of unrelenting chaotic barbarism. This third category is where meritocracy falls with the great man of history standing right beside it.

Now, proceeding, let’s look at what the great man of history viewpoint represents. It places personality as king with individual characters, through their preeminence, impinging their will upon the world. True ego-beasts. Thus history is determined by the few. I think I should add in here that a theory of racial superiority can be insinuated to place great men as the the physical personifications of a race’s best qualities; although this is added in with some detriment to the individuality that the great man of history theory presupposes. But even so, with the addition of a race as an additional subservient actuating force of history, the main players of history still remain the minority as, determined by hierarchy, not all men within a race are equal. We now arrive at elitism and the need for the common people and the elites to have different theories of history. But why? Because what good does it do the average man, the mediocrity, to see the truth for what it is, that he has no general say in history. He is but an insignificant bug whose fate is determined not by a personal God or self-soothing myth he participates within, but by impersonal fellow men. Such a sour point would only work to create revolutionary furor that would end with man returning to pre-mericratic worldviews.

Given these tasks we now must contrive two theories of history, one for the masses and one for the elite, to compliment the arising meritocratic worldview.

Perhaps a thread about cute aggression; is it a thing? is there merit in this observation?



This thought came up when I was thinking about how people on both the left and the right are reacting to Stellar Blade, the game with the plastic K-pop protagonist. It also seems to be very common these days to see people pushing the meme that liking anime aesthetics = being a tranny, even though actual trannies only use anime in underhanded ways and have no interest in the medium other than to subvert it.

@anthony
I have recently read your post on TBC concerning children's media creator Blippi and that would make a great thread. Could you repost it here, or maybe write a new one?

We can link that thread here for the moment, then I might make a new thread on children's media here. Several things I've written about here and elsewhere would also apply. Made in Abyss. NAMBLAcore. Ideas on schooling. etc.

The thread for those who haven't seen it.

I suppose we can have a sequel thread here for those who are interested. Fair bit here to read already if you're curious.

Internet Eusociality, how people online have become homogenized, go for non (serious) confrontation and alike to the degree it feels like you meet the same people over and over. A able lens to find answers about wider human behavior in our age. I would write it myself now but I never have the peace and quiet nowadays to write long form so, putting it here for a hopefully freer future me. Or anyone to give their own take on the subject I've now raised.

Anyone interested in a cinegrids thread?

Most people have aesthetics associated with “WW2” or “Vietnam” in their heads, since these wars left a large imprint on the collective memory, but the War on Terror seems to have a much weaker “aesthetic”

I think the lack of "memorable aesthetic" to the GWOT is for two reasons:

1) The GWOT is divided into two eras: Bush-era and Obunga-era, where in the former was explicitly a War and the latter being explicitly Nation Building. These two are confused as the same thing, even though they were widely different. Early GWOT really had some of the most Kino aesthetics, but this is forgotten due to the distastefulness of the Obunga-era succession to the GWOT where it became less about "destroying our enemies" and more about "promoting democracy".

If things had ended in 2009, the GWOT would have been remembered similar to Vietnam in the popular mind in my opinion--We did it for the right reasons, even though it was bad--whereas the Nation Building projects of the Obongoid Administration are universally remembered as retarded (there's something to be said here about how communists destroy aesthetics).

2) The GWOT was a response to 9/11 instead of being a part of the wider threat of MAD, the Cold War, USSR, etc. The deployment and casualty numbers were much lower. It was just on a much smaller scale than Vietnam, and thus it had less of an impact on the popular imagination.

To illustrate my first point, look at the immense popularity of certain video games around that time. The CoD: Modern Warfare series (the kino first one and not the gay remake) follows special operators traversing the globe tracking down high level terrorists Al Assad (Ba'athist btw), Imran Zakhaev, Vladimir Makarov, etc. You are even betrayed by your commanding officer who is plotting to expand the war so he'll have "no shortage of volunteers". If this isn't illustrative of the general themes of the GWOT and of a similar betrayal the American people felt when the WMDs in Iraq ended up being nothing, I don't know what is.

You could even make a case for Halo: you're fighting a hyper-religious theocracy hellbent on the annihilation of Humanity, maybe an analog of radical Islamic terrorists? I don't think I'm reaching here, because there was a huge thematic shift between Halo: CE and Halo 2.

These are just a few examples, but it would be good to see someone make a full thread and hopefully this helps. It is an interesting topic that hasn't been explored fully, and has a direct impact on our lives today. I was thinking about turning this post into a thread but I haven't really thought it through enough; this post is just rambling at this point.

A thread on intellectuals bend towards leftism. 

Everyone is probably familiar with this meme and it does seem to have some truth, but why? Well to understand you have to presupposed that the impulse towards intellect interest and intelligence isn’t actually that tight. Once you understand this all desires toward restructuring society in a communistic/socialist fashion makes sense. Essentially what I’m saying is that certain people inherently want to live an intellectual lifestyle. They like the appeal and the ease of it. It also helps if they’re kinda midwits as they gauge their deservingness of that lifestyle higher. Thus they don’t want the harsh capitalists societies but rather essentially a bloated theocracy where economy is subservient to an intellectual overclass. I should also note now that those of an intellectual personality have a weaker drive to material wealth than more materialist people. This means their less concerned with personal wealth. Now what society achieved what I just described? The Soviet Union. Therefore you can understand why their inherent nature would make them bend towards socialist utopias. It’s just a reflection of their interests. 

But this is mediocracy. The more intelligent person with an intellectual bend is actually offended by these systems of extensive bureaucracies because they value a class and not individuals, meaning individual efforts. This means the genius cannot distinguish himself. therefore he seeks meritocracy. Thus the smarter intellectual personality is a right-winger. 

Someone make this thread real and I’ll effort post in it.

Continued posted on intellectuals. 

There are three classes of men: lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain

Lovers of wisdom might stroke connotations of free-thinking trail-blazers, but are not the words of Christ wise? Or the Buddha or even Mohammed. The truth is that to the intellectually prone doctrine and dogma are as worthy pursuits as self discovery. And on top of that dogma and doctrine are easier to learn. Thus seeing as midwits are more common than topwits this means that intellectuals as a group are more prone to learning dogma and doctrine than free-thinking. But the popular dogma changes with the times. In the medieval ages the intellectual would have been driven towards the Catholic Church. Around the early 20th century he would’ve sympathized with communists and socialists. And in the early 21st century the midwit intellectual writes books like these: 


Have you not heard a libtard profess their gratitude towards becoming educated in the faith of kill whity? How they view learning about how white people are evil as both great and true knowledge? Woke is the new dogma and intellectuals are ever willing to lap it up.

A proper thread on Milei. Libertarianism in practice, differences between him and Trump, what has he actually managed to do - maybe it's too early though as the fruits of his work will judge him later.

[BillyONare]

He’s already done more than Trump. America First failed; it’s just Stormfront for 12 year old Mexicans now.

LOL and you were the resident Latinxolas Fuentes worshipper. It's truly over for LatinoAmerica first ahahha

[BillyONare]

I am good friends with Nick Fuentes and still admire him, however I can't get behind the anti-semitic content slop. It's retarded. You can like things without "worshipping" them. You would fit right in in AF with your black and white BPD femalish thinking.
