Hyde's MDE and that book he put out, but what else. It's a content wasteland and some lolkek limpdick gestures towards "fashwave." Any of you guys aware of visual art or literature coming from this direction? All mainstream academia can point to is PEPE and what, greentext

In personality terms right-wingers tend to be close minded and uncreative, and the alt-right is the extreme right. The stuff that exists is quite primitive. Say Murdoch Murdoch for example. Mostly high quality memes really. But the movement is growing so I suppose we'll see some cultural production in the near future. They're still in the process of finding themselves.

It's just a statistical statement from the psychometric literature on personality types and their political differences. Of course not everyone who is creative is a left-winger but openness is correlated with creativity and the line of inclusion/exclusion pretty much defines left/right. Doesn't mean that creative right-wingers do not exist or that every temperamental left-winger is indeed politically left-wing. But there will be a noticeable difference. And this shouldn't be too surprising, just look at any creative field and you'll find them leaning massively left even before the institutions themselves were subverted. But I do think that the ground for countercultural right-wing art is much more fruitful, we're just not seeing that much yet.

>> No.13017978

>>13017871
i agree. The best theory I can find so far coming from alt right is a document called "Westhetica" which basically suggests that the alt right should move towards a cohesive visual style...by co-opting retrofuturism "like MDE," and repurposing those vaporwave meme statues to ground the movement in western cultural history.

...weak, all I see are recycled innernet types injected with watery fascism. In the westhetica document the subheading ">why are you obsessed with aesthetics, what are you a faggot?" and subsequent paragraph long rebuttal says a lot about the current tension between "alt right" and "art"

The gun thing is political/cultural programming and the holocaust reaction propably appropriate, but; islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism. All of These issues/insults are a reaction to perceived exclusion. They're relativist because they want to be all-inclusive and that down to the individual. But in the extreme that means that they react violently to exclusion (no tolerance for the intolerant!). Psychologically the right is identical but towards inclusion, the hard right psyche can't even tolerate a person with slightly different appearance. Look at pol, I mean I do understand the satire and subversion involved but a lot of it is honest. What is White? They have constant threads about that because they're psychologically obsessed with drawing borders.

They do not ascribe personhood to the fetus. As such you would behave exclusionary to the individual making the decision (my body my choice). But you misunderstand the construct. Not everything they do is a direct result of this psychology. There are also other influences. Politics for example. They're a female driven movement, females have an interest in the option of abortion. It could just as well be that abortion is a feature of the left because it is inserted into it by female power. But of course there always has to be a synthesis, hence the psychologically or philosophically necessary denial of personhood for the unborn.

That is their choice in constructing their argument. There is subjectivity at work. The fact that they cannot accept the inherent subjectivity in the argument defines them as intolerant bigots.

Again we have a complicated situation. There was widespread reaction against muslim culture in the continental left of the '70s. But then came the left's coalition with global capital. The left gets the votes/state growth and the capital the labor/consumption. This is very powerful stuff and it can bend the rules significantly. An entire Theory (synthesis) arose around that issue, that of intersectionality. The POC has become by definition the excluded person and even when he himself acts exclusionary is within an hierarchy of exclusion (marginalized) above those he discriminates against. Of course there are a few problems with this construction and that's because it didn't arise out of a purely logical process, it was created by political pressure and necessity.

we have to understand liberalism/leftism not as a mere tendency towards relativism but as a militantly universalist supersessionist theology, with its own clearly defined dogmas. just like christianity and islam claim to have superseded judaism, the progressive religion superseded them in turn together with all previous religions and particularities. Progressivism is not really compatible with islam, or with any other religion for that matter, as it substitues religious worldviews based around ideas of the soul, sin and the law, for a purely therapeutic understanding of the human, based around the concept of inclusion. for progressives, islam is just another contentless 'identity' that exists to be 'included' into progressivism and the ideal 'muslim' is a blue-bearded genderqueer hijabi 'sex worker' who takes 304803 dicks every night and then spends xer freetime watching superhero extravaganzas in which muslims and blue haired queers are properly represented. Imo i think you are really getting somewhere with that part about drawing boundaries, progressivism is hostile to boundaries of any sort, in the name of inclussiveness it will erase all particularity. rather than trotting out tired arguments like muh muslims are duh real homophobes, the radical right should be making common cause with radical islamic terrorism, as well as with anyone who wants to uphold any kind of particularity. WWIII will not pit left vs right or white vs black, it will pit the progressive Managerial gynocracy globohomo leviathan vs its enemies

Sam Hyde is at once a failure and a seemingly inexhaustible cultural object with a very interesting genealogy with plenty of implications for the what and the why of this great amerikkkan vortex.

In the Remote Past: the political ambiguity of the flaneur, Benjamin on Baudelaire, mass media, then print, allowed for a newly detached ironic perspective. Are you just looking around or are you looking for a buyer to purchase your literary persona?

Now to the 1960s the international times, RR Crumb(along with Zappa and Burroughs, really shatters the myth that the counterculture was all lefties all along), Rubin and Hoffman. 1970s woke.

NU metal, suburban teens on gangsta rap, the end of polite society, cultural proletarisation, f Gavin McIness cited Answer Me! as an inspiration for Vice which in its early years had a markedly edgy anti pc editorial line. Now Vice is owned by disney, McIness an universal object of ridicule, failed journalist, failed leader of a right wing paramilitary.

i can't help but see answer me! magazine as a prefiguration of the alt right ethos, A. Wyatt Mann even did some illustrations for them(what are the links between early 4chan and pre internet american subcultures? I am too young and not burger enough to figure that out), and then there is of course, the infamous RAPE issue. Jim Goad has since become a d-list media personality and sometimes Trump supporter, but back in the day his writing was praised by liberal comedians, the very people who wont touch that stuff with a 100 ft pole AT(anno trump) III.

Manson is Dionysius, Death Valley is Macedonia, Squeaky Fromme and Susan Atkins maenads of the primeval wild. We have to realise the unity of Christ and Satan.
