this link is a horror show
You can approach any vocation morally or immoraly
I like the blurb
now to read it
great, it's not an article
the tweet is correct, this "counterculture" proceeds from anonymous figures and the anonymous multitude
the visible figures are not important
whether that is a good thing is worth debate, but I don't think the actual assertion is debateable
the visible figures did not precede the upswell
first came the change, then riding that wave came various figures
the kind of ideas Milo for instance has, they are a further iteration of stuff that has been slowly developed (on the internet, anonymously) for a couple of years
if someone asked me to name one, just one, person who I thought was the most important to all of this shit
despite not liking him very much I would say Steve Sailer
who, while not anonymous, is certainly not a visible figure
it s funny how you participate in talks anonymously and then 1 week later you see the talking points used by Milo or Cernovich
what incentive is to not be anonymous? save the magical white race? fuck that. if you risk your personal image, at least do it for shekels.
what the incentive is
I have the opposite impression
Milo and Cernovich talk about stuff that has been discussed generally years ago
both of these people are not big thinkers by any means
one is a promoter, both self and others, one is basically an old school self-improvement-scam seller and now a neo-journalist
if they talk about something, you can be pretty sure they didn't come up with it
the media gives one the impression that these people are important by their attention on them
this is why people were pissed at the Spencer event
because the media could crown him king of the alt right
the whole battlefield, or even enemy, is mass media, nothing more or less
the alt right is a mass media movement
there is an attitude on the right in general about "doing things"
which I think stems from individual personality
some kinds of people are not satisfied unless they feel they are "doing things"
and generally this ranges from political entryism to literally busting heads
but did leftists in the US ever preoccupy themselves with stuff like this?
how did they "win"
what makes your average, basically decent, person a leftist in their metaphysics and politics?
what makes them say: I guess tranny bathroom are alright after all etc.
they don't say anything, they just go along
