Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off

"Profoundly negrous" is fucking crazy man.

Right, and he's so comfortable with this language. He's well into living on another planet where phrases like this are common place among his group.

I thought he meant naggers.

I... what does that even mean?

He is a racial narcissist (and racial fascist) who has narcissistic delusions about race that are his projections of his own insecurity. He gets narcissistic supply from people responding to his delusions as if they are real. Which is why narcissists crave proximity and control so much and are fascists, because their biggest goal in life is to cater and caretake their delusions, not to actually think or do things or be progressive. It's about the appearance of those things because it was always about narcissistic supply in the first place.
Most white men who are racial narcissists believe in:
physical narcissism, which they believe black men are superior to them due to eugenics from chattel slavery, including a belief that they are stronger, their dicks are better and they are better at sex (this is a REALLY big deal to them, more than you would realize). This is also why white supremacists wanted to EAT and DID EAT black slaves. It's also why they have to push narratives that black people are ugly, phrenology, etc. It's why they are so physically cruel to them - they overabuse them because they are physically insecure.
intellectual narcissism, which they believe they are superior to black people because of chattel slavery/owning them (aka sadistic and psychopathic abuse, not intellect) and the various white supremacy lies. This is why they don't like DEI. Again, remember this is projection- it's their own deepest insecurities they vomit out constantly through delusions.
Then these delusions can be applied to others not even in that group, because it was never based on reality to begin with. That's why he's calling white people the n word, he simply wants supply and it doesn't matter if what he says makes sense or is rational.
Tldr; Curtis Yarvin believes his own dick is small, he is bad in bed, he is weak, and he is stupid and a bad rich person who made his money like all very rich people - via slavery and theft.
- Fascinating. I never understood why the cuckolding fetish (fixation? obsession?) came with such a strong overlap with, I guess, race play? Feels like a charitable way to put it.
  I didn't believe it at first, but any quick web search will show that cuckolding largely is about the races of the people involved.
  Which makes a lot more sense if seen through the framework you just described.
- Sure, yeah, but none of that explains what billionaires being "negrous" means? Like something something connect them with the same negative attributes that they keep going on about?
  Can white billionaires be "negrous"?
No idea. I do think billionaires are a serious problem and shouldn't be allowed. Dont care how many business they start. They have the power to buy elections and play games with our entire world so fuck em.
ok I'm going to TRY to explain his thinking but I'm likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.
What he's saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they're insanely wealthy when "they're not".
this is what he likely means when he says "n-word rich". Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He's watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this "bling" has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that's what he means by "n-word rich".
he could have just said "The problem is the majority of billionaires aren't actually billionaires. They just think they are."
- That's what I thought he was saying at first, but that still doesn't even make any sense though. You are either a billionaire or you are not. I don't know of anyone who goes around claiming to be a billionaire when they are not, and I could probably name a few who are but never mention it.
  Also why would it be a problem? Is he saying there is not enough of a wealth gap? That's demonstrably false.
  And what's with the nature and function bit?
  Sounds to me he's just spouting hatred to be provocative without any real point.
- Some people like to rebrand the n-word as a non-racial term. Pretending that it is not tied to skin color or racism but behavior.

Honestly, there's no real decoding this. There's no hidden messages or trying to see the underlying logic.

I'm guessing they've either got a little cult where they've given specific meaning to this little phrase, or it's just as dumb as it sounds and makes no sense.

I'm guessing it makes no sense on account of the it not making sense.

There is no mask when you're already 'Peter Thiel's bestie'

chat is this satire

The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?

There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMLJh0SRz9o/ this is my favourite review of the latest Superman and I believe says it even more directly than the tweet
- Omg! this was unexpectedly good!! I almost stopped watching after the first minute thinking it's another "hollywood movie nerd" talking about imaginary superheros that fly and shoot lazers from their eyes.. Then suddenly my guy "the hollywood movie nerd" switched to real mode really quick just before you thought you could sleep on him! This guy! that was awesome!
- I thought the movie was ok, but it triggering right wing nutjobs is hilarious.

Excuse me?

profoundly negrous

This motherfucker is so racist he invented a new term.

It’s 4chan speak, I’ve seen it before.
- You need to hang out in better places.
While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence.
Now I'm curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans. Funding sickle cell anemia research?
- I think he is basically saying "I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it's #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black". In other words, racist bullshit
- N*gga rich is a term used by racists, and co-opted by rappers, to mean getting a small fortune and spending it on flashy ostentatious things.
I don't think that's a neologism. It's just the adjective to 'negro'.
Basically he thinks billionaires are 'behaving black'.
- no, it's not even a word. that wouldn't even be the adjective to that word.
You know some csa shithead talked like that.
Not really. A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays. It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he's absolutely correct
- A ngger is a race neutral term nowadays
  no. no it's not. people know its origins and who it's referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fuck off with that
  It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he's absolutely correct
  attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with Black people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.
- I don't know what racist town you're from, but that is not reality no matter how much racists wish it was. As for a name for people who take more than anyone could ever deserve, we simply call them billionaires.
- Woof, you realize that the episode of South Park you morons use to justify this "change in meaning" was satire, and was not meant to be a guide for how to use cognitive dissonance to change words' meanings to your own liking.
- Lmao this chode is really over here trying to ignore all of the cultural context and redefine the n-word, to be able to use it without getting punched in the mouth.
- It still has too much meaning, history, and baggage to change so quickly.

Black people: "Why am I in this?"

How is it that the weirdest dudes keep ending up with so much power and influence. Like, this is just bigoted shit obviously, but it's weird bigoted shit. What is it about people that makes them look at a weirdo freak (derogatory) like this and think "this is a man I need to have direct the entirety of my belief system going forward"?

Social media has accelerated this. No one would know who this guy was in the 90s, for example.
- I have zero idea who he is. Or Thiel for that matter ..
Success is awarded to the confident. You can be an absolute weird idiot and still, in the right circumstances, get massive success just because people assume there's a reason you seem so confident, and who are they to second guess that confidence?
- Confidence is often mistaken for competence. I'd like to believe that's why "con(fidence) men" are ever successful.
- That's literally the only reason Trump is where he is. He's not actually good at anything.
I think a part of it is you have to be weird to want to chase power. Normal people aren't thinking 24/7 about how they can leap frog their way into power
- The other part is that normal people as party of a well functioning society need to actively maintain systems that keep fuckwits from accumulation to much power, and we haven't been doing that.
Useful idiots. There needs to be somebody who stands in front of the crowd and takes the blame. That person must be weird enough that people don't keep following once the support is removed.
Then they decide to get makeovers or permanent eyeliner like that's supposed to make up for all the other weird shit?
Yeah, why can't they just be a weirdo freak (celebratory) like the rest of us anarchists?

that guy has literally never been mask on

I find it funny how bad guys in fiction openly expresses that they’re in the dark side. That’s so comical it can’t happen in reality. Right?
Nah, this guy is embracing ”Dark Enlightenment” as his core philosophy.
- You start out thinking that the fictional one-dimensional villains are realistic as a kid
  Then you grow up and realize that they were just intentionally overdone hyperbole
  Then you grow up even more and realize that the fictional one-dimensional villains are very real
- the infamous black pill
- If you dig deep, Nick Land (coiner of the term “Dark Enlightenment”) draws a lot of influence from Bataille - and specifically fucked up shit written by Bataille. He’s got an article all about the philosophy of the “Story of the Eye” which is basically snuff erotica.
“He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[3][18] He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than black people,[18] and opposes U.S. civil rights programs.[19]”
holy fucking hell
- and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude
  Never his race though, that'd be silly.
- Yarvin has been described as a "neo-reactionary", "neo-monarchist" and "neo-feudalist"
  I've seen this for hardcore libertarian. They have one of the most unhinged subreddits. Their mod Derpballz was rather prolific is showing up to random communities with that BS. Bro is currently ban evasion as Irresolution.
- Mississippi's Letter of Secession on slavery:
  Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun.
- and people wonder why i don't want to use urbit
Behold, the master race
- He looks like even the mirror bullies him
- Same as it ever was.
What a definitive neckbeard good LORD.

At what point do we start tagging him with "racist sympathizer Peter Thiel"?

Is there any point in doing that? All these guys are openly racist, anti-democracy and anti-america. Enemies of the state by definition (a state which is almost entierly under their control by now). We're way beyond calling out on racism.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment
- And all my neighbors are still on board with Trump. Drives me nuts.
En masse, as soon as we can.

(I read the tweet)

Mother of God...

(I read his Wikipedia page)

Oh, this is actually mild by his standards, my goodness...

I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards episode on him
- I watched that on your recommendation. Turns out he's just an old Usenet troll that spent to much time in his own head and started to believe his own bullshit. What's baffling to me is how he became so influential.

Hahaha, what the fuck does that even mean???? What a clown

From Meriam-Webster's entry on the word
Did the definition of n----r change?
There is a widespread belief that the original meaning of n----r, as defined in dictionaries, was "an ignorant person," and a related belief that current dictionary definitions describing its use as a hateful, racist epithet are a recent change. We do not know the source of those beliefs, but they are not accurate. The word was first included in a Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1864, at which time it was defined as a synonym of Negro, with a note indicating that it was used "in derision or depreciation." There has never been a definition like "an ignorant person" for this word in any subsequent dictionary published by this company. Nor do we know of such a definition in any earlier dictionary.
There's been an attempt among white racists over the years to try and redeem the hard-r N-word. They'll say that it originally meant just an ignorant or foolish person in general, not only black people specifically. But this is a historical fiction. It's always been used as a slur against black people. It was originally a complete synonym for "negro." If you asked Yarvin, and he didn't just admit outright to being a flaming racist, he would likely justify it by making a claim like this. He would claim that he's saying these billionaires are just corrupt and foolish. He would say that it's OK to use the word, as he's not referring to black people, just ignorant and lazy people in general. He would say he's using the non-racist definition of the n-word. But again, this is a historical fiction.
Sometimes racists will cite words like "niggardly", meaning cheap or stingy, as an example of how the n-word could be used in ways not applying just to black people. Niggardly is a word that sounds like the n-word but actually does have a non-racist history. They'll try to link niggardly to the hard-r n-word. But what they ignore is that the word niggardly has a completely different etymological root. Niggardly shares roots with words like niggling, tracing back to the 13th century nig, meaning simply a stingy person. The n-word however, as Meriam-Webster notes, derives directly from the Spanish negro.. Racists will connect the n-word to words like niggardly, niggling, etc., citing their real history as non-racist words, and say that the n-word can also be used non-offensively because of this. But there is no common etymological root between the hard-r n-word and similar sounding words that do actually have a non-racist history.
Of course, it's all ultimately a moot point. In polite society today, most people understandably avoid using any word that remotely sounds like the n-word. See controversies around the word niggardly. And really, there's little reason to use words like niggardly, even if one could argue that they're technically not racist. They just sound way too similar, and there's plenty of other perfectly valid words to use in their place. And ultimately, someone could just as easily be hurt or offended by words that sound similar to the n-word even if they're technically not directly related. The words are best avoided, as they just end up hurting people for no good reason, even if some etymologist might argue they're not directly related.
It's the kind of thing where you have to join the KKK and uncritically accept everything you're told for 20 years and then maybe you'll be able to fathom it. They will of course mistake that for complex philosophy rather than a steaming pile of horse shit.
It's a racist asshole thing. You wouldn't understand.

Pretty big talk for a f—got

Banned from my instance.
- Launched from my trebuchet.

Did he elaborate further on what that means? Seriously, where's the original tweet? there's no way nobody ask this racist twat in replies to explain to layman non-philosophers like us what is n-word rich billionares, and what he sees as a problem with his best friends Peter Thiel and Elon Musk? does he mean they they are leeching lazy mutants on society? does he meam they exaggerate or waste their wealth where it should not go? Is he criticizing them or is he actually with classism and billionares but just wants them to get their act together and invest in better things? is that something of the billionare-class shortcomings or does he oppose America's form of capitilism which lead to their existence?

Of course he meant Nerdier billionaires! Silicon Valley must go!

I’m middle aged now, but I have to admit, while I’ve always known there was racism still around, and still part of the government. I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is. The kind of people in charge right now are literal cartoon villains when I was a kid.

I mean that literally.

Same, I find it genuinely shocking and very different from 10 years ago.
Trump was literally depicted as a villain on Sesame Street in the 80s btw.
I'm pretty sure he also was the inspiration for more than one Captain Planet villain.
I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is.
Same. Same. I'm feeling like I must live in a bubble (nobody around me is like that) and also that it was also always there, they're just more comfortable taking their masks off right now. It's depressing.
On the flip side though the people I have around me are mostly family and my kids. I have zero social time beyond that at the moment. Two of my kids besties are not white so I'm at least absolutely sure I'm raising my kids to not be racist pieces of shit. It's something.
I genuinely expected that tweet to be a "you had me in the first half". Like the naggers scene in south park. Fuck that guy. Absolute filth.
- Nah, blatant racism isn't much a thing anymore. It's the systemic racism that is turning out sticky.
  I'm in the South and haven't heard N, or any other slur, in ages. Confederate flags are rare enough to make my blood boil when I see one.
He was a cartoon villain even to the people who love him now before 2015. Then he was mean to the people they hated, and dignified their basest impulses. After that, they'd follow him to the gates of hell.
Is that real?! I remember them poking fun at Trump now and again as he was a national laughing stock.
- Yes, there was a whole running narrative about bill the cat having his brain replaced with trumps back in the 80’s. my now completely crazy, maga dad, turned me on to bloom county as a kid so most of my politics likely took root with a large nosed penguin and his friends. Then when I hit high school, I found rage against the machine.
  But yeah, I never watched any of his reality shows, this is the turnip I knew, until he became the actual president. My brain has not recovered.

Can we please go back to a time when psychos like this guy were largely irrelevant?

I hate the internet sometimes.

They were more numerous and loud when they were largely irrelevant.
But the times were nice, yes.
But - I've looked for Urbit and it's interesting. It's very close to what I'd consider useful.
IMHO a p2p system of the future should work as one user group being one democratically controlled system (like OS with its resources and entities) with computation and storage distributed between member nodes. The reason I'm not too interested in that idea is that it's about global Internet and global availability. Today delay-tolerant offline-enabled applications seem more historically relevant.

Ok, i reconstruct the slur in my mind and...what the fuck is that even mean? It sounds like another one of those word salad by intoxicated individual that mean absolutely nothing but also trying to be profoundly racist.

Fascists have no subatance, no interiority.
He's saying billionaires spend their money ostentatiously, foolishly, lavishly like they never saw money before. "New rich" would be a comparable term.
Still, not sure I completely get it.
- In a spectacular display of racist logic this chud is saying that black people aren't supposed to have inherited wealth, therefore all rich black people are nouveau riche (new rich). Which means that what they are saying is that spending with abandon is something only a newly rich black person would do.
- So like covering everything with gold and putting your name in giant allcaps on them?
- Still, not sure I completely get it.
  Same. One legitimate criticism of how rich people interact with the economy is that rich people have a tendency to hoard their money instead of pumping it back into the economy. Spending all your dough may look tacky and ostentatious, but it creates more jobs than piling it up in a vault.
  So this guy's thinking is contorted in fascinating ways. I am starting to wonder, though, does being a bad thinker make you more likely to be racist? Or does racism harm your thinking? Both?
I think you have to go several levels of racism deep to even understand it. Like the (censored) phrase "I don't hate black people; I hate N-----s" has to make enough sense you understand the "distinction" being made. Then you translate that distinction and apply it to some sort of "good billionaire" and you sort of get his claim.
I think?
I certainly could have missed his point, if any; I'm not sure it was worth catching.
Replace the word with "inferior." Now you understand what a racist means when they say it.

Negrous

Motherfucker out here just making up entirely new racial slurs.

The pedant in me is glad he didn't misuse niggardly.
It could be correctly used to describe many billionaires, but post in image would surely misuse it.
- Erm, how did you get a pendant inside you?!?
  ;}
- There was another post on Lemmy recently featuring more of this man's deranged drivel. Turns out he's a big fan of that word as well.

Can someone explain to me, a european, what nigger rich means?

They're wealthy, but they're removed, so they "can't spend or invest their money wisely because they're intellectually inferior".
Racist slur.
Yikes dude, even Peter Thiel hat the good sense to censor the slur.
- And i guarantee you that he's still more racist than i am... but okay, my comme t is removed now, and nobody cared to explain the actual source of the term, i learned from it anyway.
- We in Europe tend to not be afraid of words and censoring them feels pretty pointless. It's just a word, it's the context that gives it meaning, which in this case was educational. If you go calling people slurs then obviously the context changes, but on its own it's just a word.

What the...?

Now you, too, know about Curtis Yarvin. You thought Jordan Peterson was bad? Welcome to the club.
And people think I'm exaggerating or polarising when I call Peter Thiel a neoliberal fascist.
edit: it seems some people don't understand that Neoliberalism and Fascism do, in fact, go together very well. And that the fascism we're all facing now does not look the same as 90 years ago.
- You thought Jordan Peterson was bad?
  They're interchangeable. Curtis is more crass and online, while JBP uses academic speak and muppet tears to sound more Canadian. But their beliefs are fundamentally no different.
- Neoliberal, lol.
Start looking up techno feudalism
Him and thiel ...they want to end the United States and break it into company run states with no rules

peter thiels bestie, was allegedly defenestrated last year, his boytoy , not his husband. also the fact the p2025 and heritage foundation is funded by thiel himself, but the endgame doesnt include "people" like THIEL in thier society.

thiel likes to do things behind the scenes, so he avoids any responsibilities, plus hes gay so he would face much resistance in his policies if he was up and front, like the log cabin people.

You know what... You run with that. I have no idea wtf it means, but if you stay pointed at the billionaires...

Well, a piece of shit launched at my enemy isn't my friend, but I'm not going to get in it's way either

he apparently has no problem with the billionaire part of their existence, so no. fuck him.
- Don't interrupt your enemy's enemy dumbass
  I'm not saying they're your friend, just don't interrupt the fight. Use it. Let them fight
  Don't interrupt two enemies who are making a mistake, don't be a fucking idiot. Use the opportunity, win.
  That's all that matters - win and never forget why you did it

Yarvin and Thiel scare me...

Here's some of Yarvin's writings, if you want to feel like disappearing into the woods, getting on a rocket, and blasting off as far, far away from this planet as possible:

precedent should be rolled back to 1900 at the latest, and probably more like 1800. The democratic era has corrupted everything, law being no exception.

One way to see internal security in a Patchwork realm is as a compromise between two sorts of Orwellianism. In the sense that the realm is (effectively) omniscient and omnipotent, it would fit most peoples’ definition of “Orwellian.”

Residents of a Patchwork realm have no security or privacy against the realm.

All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both. Residents cannot use this data to snoop into each others’ lives, but Friscorp can use it to monitor society at an almost arbitrarily detailed level.

There is one problem, though, which is ... the problem of adults who are not productive members of society. In our little Newspeak we call them wards of the realm.

As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.

Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.

However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.

The best humane alternative to genocide I can think of is not to liquidate the wards—either metaphorically or literally—but to virtualize them. A virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement, waxed like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies. This would drive him insane, except that the cell contains an immersive virtual-reality interface which allows him to experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.6

The virtual worlds of today are already exciting enough to distract many away from their real lives. They will only get better. Nor is productive employment precluded in this scenario—for example, wards can perform manual labor through telepresence. As members of society, however, they might as well not exist. And because cells are sealed and need no guards, virtualization should be much cheaper than present-day imprisonment.

Many other regions of the earth, however, contain large numbers of human beings whose existence may well prove an unequivocal liability to the owners of any ground on which they would reside. If so, they can be virtualized, creating giant human Wachowski honeycombs of former bezonians, whose shantytowns can be cleared and redeveloped as villas for retired oil-company executives.

Teehee just kidding about my proposal to turn humans into petroleum... unless?
What an unfortunate collection of words to read on a Friday like today
These dumb motherfuckers really think they are above it all and invincible. My only consolation is that I know they view having to "share" their existence with all us plebs as a literal and continual hell. May they all rot and fester in it.
If these are the people in power's friends than they aren't far from this train of thought. People who think so lowly of others do not deserve this kind of power. People who think this lowly of others and would actually try to enact it should probably be the subject of mass riots. Reading that shit made my blood boil. These are the powerful and affluent.
Unbelievable that anyone printed this in either online or offline form of text. A humane alternative to genocide, cause no one would really like the biodiesel solution.
Good to see that democracy actually seems to be the foe for these people. Let's try and keep it that way...
At some point I loved the kind of jokes based in his ideologies, about bioreactors and such.
And - the emotion behind this kind of thought is very important. It's not worse for anarchist and humanist thought than it is for the fascist kind.
Thought experiments are necessary. In the "good old times" such thought experiments as quoted here were normal for many sci-fi series.
The technologies (many of them) to make this are here. What would you do to find the least inhuman way they'll be used? Not doing anything is not an option - someone will use them to their ideology's advantage.
My idea at some point was that if we can't prevent surveillance and miniaturization and automation to the degree it's a failed endeavor to try to preserve privacy and security against those, then we should at least create a panopticon society, so that those Yarvin's "delegates" were as visible for the rest of us as the rest of us for them. Suppose the "nothing to hide" norm is here - and we are already losing against it, just silently. What can we do to avoid such a hellish and degenerate end of history as he describes?
It's a bit like with nukes, you can't (well, 50 years ago you couldn't) reasonably well protect against another's nuke, but you can balance it with your own.

I keep running into this problem where I hear about this conservative intellectual and I go to read their work. I know I'm not going to agree with them, but let me find the flaw or where our values diverge in their argument.

When I gloss it, I'll assume the problem is me when i fail to find that spot. So I do a closer, more serious reading of their work. Still don't see it. Again. Fail. Again. Fail. Again.fsil.failfsilfisjl.

These "intellectuals" are people who haven't read widely, haven't practice developing ideas, and don't know how to write a structured argument.These fuckers were "STEM" smart from a young age, probably without much effort, got accolades from everyone about how smart they were, and thought the liberal arts were a joke. And honestly, until advanced high school classes, they often are. Because before that age, your brain lacks the skills and data to do it at all.

Their combined rhetorical strength lies in misleading statements, provocations, and hiding their true intent behind mealy mouth pseudo intellectualism. At least Yarvin will come out and say he wants feudalism. Fuck Jordan Peterson in particular. I am worse off for ever having tried to comprehend his thinking. I'm not sure who else sucks in this day and age, but I include Theil, bronze age pervert, and the CEO of Palintar. All, I believe, have advanced degrees in the liberal arts.

This isn't to say that there aren't conservatives worth reading and disagreeing with, but the surface is polluted.

Maybe you'll find my take on it interesting: https://lemmy.world/post/33807544/18577415
I genuinely don’t understand how Peterson has a PhD. I’ve listened to his lectures and they are just pointless garbage. He squints at Jung, comes up with this manicheanism where men = order women = disorder and just verbal diarrheas from there.
I’ve only had a little formal education in psychology, but enough that people have paid me to teach it, and I don’t understand how anyone in the field could be impressed.
- Ben Carson is one of the best brain surgeons in the world. Dr Oz was considered the best heart surgeon in the world.
  Expertise and education do not equal intelligence.
- Slept his way though college?
- Jorge Hirsch, the creator of the h-index asserts that a “successful scientist” will have an h-index of 20 after 20 years; an “outstanding scientist” will have an index of 40 after 20 years; and a “truly unique individual” will have an index of 60 after 20 years or 90 after 30 years. Jordan Peterson has an h-index of 57.
  His academic work had been cited well over 10,000 times before he became a publicly-known figure in 2016.
  He obviously isn't a quack in the field of psychology, by any objective measure.

He is really fucking dumb, in addition to, being an absolute piece of shit.

The appropriate words to put in there are Nigglers. Cause they are all niggler-rich. They niggle away at us: pay me for this pay me for that. They didn't do any work or produce anything but a stranglehold on their workers (niggling away their/your hours for niggled pay).

Lynch the Nigglers. Billionaires & corporations. Lynch em all.

This dude sucks so much. And everything I've ever read about him makes him seem like the most annoying kind in philosophy class who thinks he's smart but is a dumbass. And also very racist.

Probably throwing back his long hair with a head movement, while challenging the prof with what he thinks is an unassailable argument. Mistaking the stunned silence that follows for a win.
🤢🤮

Curtis Yarvin is an endashger.

This man needs to be hanged for treason.

So does Peter Theil, Zuck, and Elon.
They need to be asset forfeitured entirely, even of clothes, and anyone who helps them, even by giving them water, should be asset forfeitured too. Let them wander outside naked, drinking from puddles and scrounging for food (not through trash though, that's illegal, not allowed just like they don't allow it for poor people who are starving today). Have guards around them to prevent anyone from giving them anything. They don't like people and society, then they can live without it.

Oh Curtis Yavin, JD Vance's favourite political philosopher.

Our problem is niner billionaires?

Or is he referring to black people while being a giant dildo?

If so, I have a serious question? How many black people out there are billionaires? Seriously, of all billionaires in the world, how many are black? I mean, I'm sure there are some but I have never heard of them.

of all problems with billionaires, skin color seriously seriously is the least.

I'm pretty sure you won't get banned for using the hard R on Twitter anymore, so what is the actual point? I mean, even if you did, avoiding the actual word wouldn't trick anyone into thinking you mean anything but what you do.

Yarvin is a traitor to humanity.

Least Racist Curtis Yarvin post

What mask?

~~A century ago~~ fuck! About a century and a quarter ago this was the sentiment regarding new-money industrialists by old money landlords.

Remove the racist layer and it's class conflict all the way down.

That's not even a sensible usage of "exception proves the rule". Not surprised a shithead uses language poorly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_that_proves_the_rule

Am I the only one reading n---ers as nooners?

Obviously he means naggers.
- Nodders. A term of endearment for people with narcolepsy to use asking themselves.

What does he even mean by this?

What he "means" to the extent this isn't just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:
The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people (usually black people, but not exclusively) who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future. Not that this is actually true, but that's the idea.
he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
he's saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.
also, he thinks that he is an intellectual and that his tweet is a serious philosophical argument.
Devoid of all meaning except for being unmistakably racist. And not the mild, everyday kind either.
edit: there's already two sibling comments with almost opposite interpretations. Fuck that shit, I don't need to understand the finer (?) points to know that Yarvin & Thiel are horrible people who have way too much influence. And I bet half the time Yarvin doesn't even understand it himself, he just needs to keep the controversy boiling.
He’s a pseudo intellectual that gets high on his own farts, like Nick Land.
What I’m understanding here is he’s trying to take advantage of anti billionaire sentiment - that it’s obvious even to alt right weirdos that wealth inequality is fucking everyone but the rich over. He’s a monarchist, he doesn’t have a problem with billionaires, but he wants to play populist. He’s using racist forum troll slang to signal to others that they don’t have to hide anymore (would Twitter have even taken the post down if he typed the full word out? certainly can’t say ‘cis’), and is hinting at some wealth redistribution through confiscation from Black people (think about how much was looted from folks during things like the Tulsa Race Riot in the 20’s - that and similar riots were often ways to forcibly redistribute wealth to poor whites…)
Nobody knows what it means but it’s provocative. It gets the people going

I think I know what happened here. Curtis decided to sing "fucking problem" by A$AP rocky at karaoke because he can say

I'm the ngga, the ngga ngga ...

Like an edgy 15 year old. Then he heard A$AP rockies bar:

they say money make a ngga act nggerish, at least a ngga ngga rich

Got mad at A$AP flexing on racist haters like him and then posted this.

How can someone even think this makes sense lmao.

"You can probably name exceptions." Indeed, I can literally only name exceptions wtf

That's not even what "the exception proves the rule" means, this is on the same level as braindead idiots using "the customer is always right!"

When in Rome...

uh yeah, quick question, what the fuck?

I guess we need separate but equal guillotines.

Slightly unrelated, but in my language Bestie means Beast. So, Peter Thiel's beast

Man, Thiel has some psycho eyes.
Oh, dich kenne ich doch. Hi.
- He is a psycho. He probably had his boyfriend/boy toy murdered.
- Ach ja, Thema Thiel. Hallo zurück. Beide psychotisch mMn.
  Verdammt, du magst GIFs aber ganz schön. Erstmal dein Unter abonniert.

Picking up on what has been put down. We get a groove goin’. Show me yo face. Nah, Nevermind. These bass ackwards step chumps will hopefully undefine. _

😱

Moron. Next please.

Like this tweet wasn't paid for by billionaires.

Em dash! AI wrote this trash... /s

Dunno, portrayal of US south landowners (and slaveholders) in manners and taste in movies and books seems not much better than what he seemingly means. Even with that flavor of idealization of the Victorian times. The example is a result of a guess what he'd consider not "negrous".

What are the exceptions, if we replace the funny word with "tasteless and stolen"? (I can't, well, maybe Bill Gates, but in essence when people in our age become that rich, they start to perceive that as good taste and unconsciously strive to that)

If you're going to say it, just say it. I can't get behind the racism either way, but don't be such a fucking pussy about it.

What does that even mean? Is he just calling everything he doesn't like the n word? So what does he mean by calling billionaires the n word?

Those two fuck wads deserve the worst

The thinker pose thumbnail ...

This is just Tuesday for this load of human waste.

Curtis Yarvin is why we need bullying in schools.

He's a successful result of it, I think.
(BTW, if he manages to build his desired bioreactor, I think it would be nice if he managed to process a few of the bullies before it getting blown up like a death star)

This is hilarious. Right out of a chappelles show sketch.
