>>Havel had the right strategy for the subjects of the total state. First, they must teach themselves to be powerless. They must fully inhabit their private irrelevance. Above all, they must stop trying to change the world.

Moldy is back with a new book.

Memebug's going all in, huh? I hope the new regime doesn't kill him.

>>15582383
isn't he funded by peter thiel?

>tfw gonna get signed numbered copy of his book
Feels good man

>>15582486
100 years from now, after the nrx revolution has been won, and moldbug is remembered as a great historical figure, like napoleon or julius caesar, it will probably be in a museum.

Thiel will give money to literally anyone who can keep their trap shut about hating fags long enough to sign a check.

>>15582383
He's no doubt pulling funds from the same deep state dark money accounts as The Federalist

>uhm uhm and uhm uhm uhm

Can someone tell me what he's said that I should care about?

>>15581912
For the amount of times this guy is spammed here I have never seen him write anything of substance.

>>15582486
Look into Nemesis by Chris Bond. I believe you will enjoy it quite a lot.

>>15581912
Why do people take this chinlet seriously?

>>15584066
That's because he never has, if you want to see how meme tier he is, go read the Clearpilled shit. It's written horribly and has the most pointless message.

>>15584066
He is spammed more here by people who are mad at him than people who read him. There were very occasional discussions of Moldbug sine like 2015 or something and then when he went on some podcast last year suddenly these dumb threads started getting spammed.

>>15584083
Upload it to Lingen. It’s not on there.

So how the fuck does the monthly subscription work? It doesn't give you an option of how long you want to stay subscribed, or explain how to cancel it. It looks identical to buying the full year sub except $20 more expensive

>>15584066
Some of his ideas are interesting in a macro sense but he's a dogshit writer (as well as an even worse speaker) and he never really gets into the detail of how any of this shit could be put into practice. We'll see how his new book fares but as it stands, like other meme writers in his circle (Land, BAP, etc.), he's really only useful as a springboard for discussion and inquiry, rather than a source of anything substantial or coherent.

Brownpill me on Moldbug's thought. I assume that list is complementary to his ideas? I have read Inventing the Individual, a book I was attracted to because of my belief that liberalism is an automatic predetermined creation of the Christian worldview. This is the case that Siedentop makes. I know that Moldbug is an atheist and doesn't think a person's spiritual beliefs can impact the real world which is something I 100% disagree with and is directly at odds with Inventing the Individual.

>>15584237
those books have nothing to do with Moldbug. Moldbug's own recommended reading is stuff like Carlyle's political essays, Froude's Bow of Ulysses, HS Maine's Popular Government, de Jouvenel on Power, etc.

>>15584196
The only reason I'm even considering subscribing is to get the signed book, and would definitely cancel the subscription after June if I knew I could have do it for one month to get it. But it's unclear how long you need to sub for to get the book and/or if you can easily cancel the sub

>>15584256
No Mencius or Confucius? Then why choose the name?

>>15584256
I just assumed they were as they were posted in a Moldbug thread.

>>15584083
bump for C.A. Bond
Nemesis was amazing
Also MacIntyre thorough destroyed the Enlightenment's morality project
GA is pretty interesting too

>>15584256
On Power by Bertrand De Jouvenel has to be the most important out of the lot he recommended imo
its funny though that in his Frenchness, De Jouvenel ends up deconstructing the very liberalism he's trying to promote instead of the liberalism he sees as a product of Power centralisation

>>15584271
Because he's the definition of a pseud

>>15584656
de Jouvenel is an odd writer, hard to pin him down politically, though he was a sort of leftist at one point.

>>15584663
Yeah if anyone was ever a pseud, it's memebug. Even Peterson is at least not larping as a grand intellectual.

>>15584053
Yep

>>15584053
Here's a good quote from him "I'm gay and I piss and shit everywhere"

>>15584271
Why does Charles McCarthy write as Cormac? He's not even from Ireland!

>>15581912
Who is this guy? Should I read him up? Where do I start if so?

>>15585526
His family is Irish.

>>15585568
You interpreted that as a literal question? Holy fuck

>>15585582
No, I noticed your retarded analogy was incorrect and corrected it for you.

>>15585557
He's quite worth it in my opinion. The about section here is sufficient to get you started
https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/

>>15582383
Why would they do that? He's not a threat to anybody.

>>15586810
Moreover, he just argues for more of their control in reality.

https://youtu.be/6GW-YMa68o4
I just found a recent interview I missed

>>15586810
Google apparently considers him a threat lmao. He went to have lunch with someone who worked there once and it 'triggered a silent alarm' and he was escorted out.

Imagine considering mencius moldbug a dangerous person

>>15586820
I too am not a fascist, but a hyper-fascist. Now lets all attend the P2 Lodge.

>>15586837
The trannies at google that have those types of meltdowns have bigger fish to fry than Moldbug. They are more worried about Fox News.

>>15586839
He literally argued that a tech CEO should be installed as dictator to deal with the virus and that google should just totally be used to control people. I don't see how that's different than now lmao.

>>15584638
>GA is pretty interesting too
what is GA?

>>15586855
god he's so stupid, people who say "we should do this" with no concept of how to go from one place to another, let alone how retarded it is to think "put smart nerd in charge and he will make de best decision"

>>15586844
speaking of Fox I'm guessing Tucker Carlson doesnt have long before he's axed

>>15586874
I wonder where he really stands. He's gotta be holding so much back for Fox.

>>15586883
I don't know much about the guy, I don't watch him. But I've seen some clips posted on 4ch and he's going way too close to certain subjects, I'm surprised he hasn't been fired already.

>>15586891
He's got a good sense of humor and is really pretty reasonable. Even if you disagree, you'd have to be a psycho SJW to hate the guy. He points out hypocrisy mostly. He's pretty much as far as you can go on television. And he's had his house attacked by terrorists.

>>15581912
ironically slavoj zizek of all people has argued something similar, that the great inactivity of citizen is an omen of great forboding for late capitalism and that's why there's so much pressure to get involved (voting, donating to charitable causes, being an ethical consumer, protesting, etc). this is also analagous to spengler talking about how the roman plebians would send one token representative to vote just decades after fighting and dying to win the right to do so

>>15581912
Nah. Read Ellul.

"What is needed, then, is continuous agitation produced artificially even when nothing in the events of the day justifies or arouses excitement. Therefore, continuing propaganda must slowly create a climate first, and then prevent the individual from noticing a particular propaganda operation in contrast to ordinary daily events."

>>15586844
Moldbug is unironically one of the less than 5 people on the Right who actually 'get it'. I'm actually not at all surprised they care about him.

>>15587436
He's a fucking idiot.

>>15586857
GA = Generative Anthropology
Some books;
>Rene Girard - Violence and the Sacred
>Eric Gans - On the Origin of Language
>Dennis Bouvard - Anthropomorphics

>>15587453
Very insightful, thank you.

>>15587436
>Moldbug is unironically one of the less than 5 people on the Right who actually 'get it'.
and who are the rest who 'get it'?

>>15588497
No idea. They're purely hypothetical.

You: Mum can we have some conservative intellectuals
Mum: WE have conservative intellectuals at home.
