i'm mystified by this one too. he had banned people in the past, and even before those guys there was some other demented man-child in there who would post dozens of retarded and incomprehensible stuff. maybe land thought that welcoming those guys in was part of the whole grand experiment? it's hard to tell. if you are really interested in being a trance-channel for Deep Space Capitalism it's hard to say what rules you should follow or not.

but it is too bad though. there were a half-dozen or so interesting and more sane-ish types who would contribute interesting things to that site, which really was the only place around to find interesting stories that weren't so easily pigeonholed into some form of propaganda one way or the other. i still enjoy reading traditionalist or NRx-kind of stuff but xenosystems was like its own mysterious little universe in there.

this was all pre-Trump tho. it's hard to say how much of the appeal of that site was kind of predicated on being the underground of the underground of the underground v/counter-cultural philosophy and critique and so on. with Trump maybe everything got blown sky-high. the irony-proof Kwisatz Haderach of capitalism even fucks up the rain-slicked mystique of LARPing cyberpunk universes.

i think land realized that ethnat stuff was as much the kryptonite to his kind of critique as acceleration was to leftism. i don't know why he didn't just ban those guys. but everything is connected to everything else on the dark-right circles.

is the DE-NRx bromance dead now? was all of that a moment that just came and went? the disappearance of the world's best cyberpunk-philosophy blog left a Wintermute-shaped hole in my heart that i can't seem to get over.
