Ever hear of defector syndrome @UOC
no, tell me
It's a habit of radicals to marginalize themselves by using rhetoric that only appeals to the already converted
I have been watching a PERFECT example of that taking place
Within the keto / low-carb diet communities that now exist online, there is this dude named Shawn Baker who is pushing this purely meat diet.
and since he's gained a little following his rhetoric has exploded into aggressive and very marginalizing stuff that would really push anyone on the fence away and never convince even normal low-carb people
much less true normies
yeah dude
he used to cite studies and talk about healing peoples injuries and stuff lol
This sheep *wines* incessantly. <- W/b my comment.
Honestly that's hardly far off in exact verbage from other shit
You can make a Bullshit Generator out of it at this point
I am awaiting Baker's inevitable intersection with the alt right
maybe he can get Richard Spencer on an all meat diet and cure his flabby androgyny
Does eating meat fix lisps?
that's a study whose time has come
@Arthur Konrad I think you're making a good observation when you say that there is only one single ruling reality
good one lol
but I'm curious what you mean when you say "the problem is that the "alternatives" fit back into this reality"
the kind of reality where no foundations are going to be laid for any conceivable future
but only some very vague image of some kind of "management of the present" exists at best
So to put this back into Evolian terms, you're less interested in managing the decline and more interested in planning to rebuild. So people advocating half-measures solely aimed at managing decline aren't helping.
I'm not interested in either, but this is mere theoretizing
however
take ethnonationalism for example
which is proposed like a working model, and which certainly has its strengths
how do people conceive it to work ?
essentially by nations sitting down and defining their borders
but here is how dishonesty comes into play (and it must ! ethnonationalism as conceived by contemporary Right cannot contain a grain of honesty in it )
supposed you are German
you say "well, lets have back our historical territories, this and that, from this province to this province, deport all others, and voila, we have a working solution"
but now, suppose you say the same to the Chinese, and some ethnonationalist says "whoa hold there, Chinese must give Tibetans freedom, and Mongols and UYghurs"
and Chinese says the same to Germans
and everyone is back at trying to reduce the strength of others and increase his
The funny thing about that example too is how much work it took to make Germany out of Prussians, Austrians et al
you see, nations are part of a historical process, and this process, if halted, WILL be halted at the precise moment when some got a favorable, and some got pretty damn unfavorable situation
Prior to the German state it was Germanic dynasties. You could probably make the reasoned argument that Germanic Unification was a bad idea.
it was a strategic blunder
Prussia attacking Austria to claim a German state was a big mistake
