before i get wireless i think i might upgrade the headset itself

no money for that i bought it back when i had a bunch of money

im poor now

the valve index is out

so gen 2

higher res, binocular cameras

yeah if you have a vive you can get just the headset for like 400

it will use the vive controllers and the base stations

watchtowers, whatever

nah

the wire is a pita but i would still prefer higher resolution

payday vr though is a lot of fun

only in loud, though

if you try to go stealth its pretty lame

yeah nazis are left wing

they are socialists, they believe in big government, control over the means of production, total social control

they happen to be racists

but they're like racist socialists

instead of classist socialists

saying nazism is the opposite of communism is like saying mild cheddar is the opposite of sharp cheddar

it only makes sense if all you've ever eaten is cheddar

yeah fuck off with your third position shit

naxis are communists with a single flipped bit

they're virtually identical ideologies but with race substituted for class

the only real question is authoritarian vs libertarian

any form of authoritarianism is going to have to cram down on everyone who doesnt agree

if you're a racist in a libertarian system you will have no power to hurt anyone so why would i care

i know

oh they believe in borders

thats like saying you dont believe in taxes

they exist

you pay them

you believe in them

yeah and then draws retarded ass conclusions based on the ideas of race

and nazism has historically fucking ignored borders

hitler was a liar and a betrayer who signed treaties only to buy time

he murdered a multitude of his own citizens

granted, he revoked their citizenship first

i guess if you make it legal its not murder and if you revoke their citizenship they arent citizens

he was also a dumb fuck who believe in megical thinking

magical*

he thought the german people could overwhelm the world despite their vast numerical inferiority because he thought aryans were magical

i despise the fact that libertarian small government politics which are the hallmark of american conservatism get packaged with shit nazi ideology because of the ignorance of people like y0ou

who repeatedly against all evidence to the contrary claim that nazism is on the right

nazism is a brand of socialism

its authoritarian

its socialist

it punishes and rewards people for what they are rather than what they do

making it fundementally unjust

yes

its national socialism

communism is international socialism

they are just different brands of the same ideology

to act like its on the other side of some spectrum is retarded

the degree of seperation between national socialism and international socialism is microscopic compare to the gulf between both of those and actual conservatism

nazism is a new ideology, a materialistic ideology invented in the 20th century

it has absolutely nothing to do with conservatism or traditional values

except for the fact that it attempts to return humans to their natural state of barbarism, slavery, tyranny, and death

anyway this entire dredging up of some long dead rivalry between two brands of socialists im more and more thinking is a fucking red herring

the real danger today isnt nazis or communists, its the fact that technology is moving at a breakneck rate towards brain/machine interfaces, AI, predictive analytics, and absolutely no privacy protections whatsoever

and its the same people who are developing these technologies are the ones who push the narratives on social media that drive these ideologies to the forefront

retards who believe in top down governance have always been with us

but they only seem important now because big tech and the media push the stories relentlessly

its misdirection

anything to keep our eyes off the prize, which is the fact that within 50 years without proper protection free will is going to be a fucking historical footnote

antifa has no fucking power

the neonazis have no fucking power

the ones who have power talk about both these groups relentlessly

as they increase their power

and develop new technologies that quite frankly

are absolutely fucking terrifying in the BEST of hands

i do not trust silicon valley to rule the world

but they effectively will if we dont make some kind of protections for our private data, up to and including our thoughts

this neural lace shit is supposed to roll out in only a few years, it can upload and download memories, it can be installed NOW in only a one hour procedure

its supposed to be as cheap and easy to get as laser eye surgery

its done entirely by machine

if you combine the kind of analytics that can tell a woman is pregnant before she knows just by looking at her browsing history with the ability to pull directly from human memory

you will end up with a system that essentially abolishes free will and this is based only on what has already been invented

combine that with the fact that facebook is now rolling out its own US dollar based crypto currency which it touts will replace all internet banking as a go between

meaning that facebook will have the final say on who can engage in trade

and you are getting into seriously fucking dark territory

biblical territory

the west is just people

people like their comforts

nobody is gonna fucking boog

why would you boog when ikea bookshelves are 20 bucks a pop

most people dont have families

they might have kids

but they dont have families

nobody is tied to anything but their own personal experience

whos gonna go squat in the bush for a year to take their country back?

nobody

thats rough, its painful, and the rewards are felt by others

if you have nobody else in your life that you love why would you do it?

i forget which one said it but one of the founders said

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy."

john adams

but without sons?

why would anyone choose that?

yeah but you're also half blind you cant shoot
