What's some contemporary reactionary literature that's not NRx garbage?

[Anonymous No.13245578]

I've been reading up on accelerationism. The more I read the easier it seems to get. Is a lot of theory it applies just weighing it down? Why is there such a focus on praxis? Shouldn't the movement focus on being a hyperstitional device to speed up any cultural and political phenomenon (of course, with certain modifications)?
It seems they're trying to do what any great artist has done in the past. They're trying to engineer a device (or a virus?) that can affect the culture in a certain given way. In that case, isn't the praxis simply the writing of the literature and its releasing?

If you are an Atheist, and a Atheist being someone who doesn't believe in a higher power i.e. gods or some type of absolute power, than aren't you a Anarchist as well?

[Anonymous No.13247400]

>>13247392
>gods or some type of absolute power
The second part isn't denied by atheists, their lack of belief is purely metaphysical, they do necessarily reject political power.
Although the majority of anarchists tend to be atheists (anarchism excluding ancaps of course)

[Anonymous No.13247402]

>>13247400
Yea but those who believe in a political power are essentially moralistic right? To separate human beings and 'the human being' and judge the the former by the latter is all in the hierarchy of the political power...right?

[Anonymous No.13247411]

>>13247402
You don't need some pre-conceived spooky notion of "humanity" to have political power, it might help in some ideologies to give legitimacy to your cause (e.g nationalism, humanism...), but you can still make arguments for a lot of political ideologies without moralistic claims, anarchists being the prime example, a lot of them appeal to egoism and self interest

I believe the opposite. I’ve seen it. Maybe the only tripfags you’ve seen were anonymous trolls.

>>13248531
I presume about anonymous all the time because I have to. One cannot recognize any of you. I am not self possessed, I’m always thinking about others. And some people’s “arrogance” are other people’s confidence. And here you are being presumptuous.
Rei can be ignored all the more easily. I can speak to him on issues related to conversations had ages ago. Real life interaction is superior to this troll farm stuff. But go and hide. I’ll try not to offend you, whoever you are.

Wait, do you ignore Rei or hold long-standing conversations with him?
Cause for one you can just as easily ignore any anon, and if you are interacting with Rei you’ve made an exception for your ‘anti-pol’ rule that you level against other anons
You claim that identities can be used to pragmatically ignore certain people but then stress the importance of being able to hold long dialogues with the same people- how is this anything but a poor excuse?

No I used to frequent /fit/ a few years back and genuinely enjoyed seeing and recognising the few people that were actually informative. On the other hand, I absolutely loathe the egotrip that comes with a name on sites like Twitter and Facebook which is why I'm here so fucking often instead of reading or doing something useful with my time.

This is aimed at polyglot anons: How do you keep up with more than two languages? At the time I am a native Spanish speaker as well as relatively well adjusted in the usage of the English language. However, I also wish to learn French mainly because you made me feel inadequate for only speaking two languages. However, I am worried about maintaining that ability once I obtain it. How do you polyglots keep all the languages you use sharp and fresh in your mind? The Internet is my main means of practice in English, since that's the dominant language online, but integrating French into my schedule seems kind of daunting.

I was the 3 part book shelf post in the other thread. My house is littered with books I haven’t read. Half of it is non fiction that makes me fall asleep. Should I try for infitine jest again?

I do both. I ignore or speak to some anons, and I never know who it is. And here we part. It’s sad really.

>There is also no closure because the relationships we are attempting to establish to account for a singularity as an effect, this network of relationships must not make up one plane only. These relationships are in perpetual slippage from one another. At a given level, the logic of interactions operates between individuals who are able to respect its singular effects, both its specificity and its rules, while managing along with other elements interactions operating at another level, such that, in a way, none of these interactions appear to be primary or absolutely totalizing. Each interaction can be resituated in a context that exceeds it and conversely, however local it may be, each has an effect or possible effect on the interaction to which it belongs and by which it is enveloped. Therefore, schematically speaking, we have perpetual mobility, essential fragility or rather the complex interplay between what replicates the same process and what transforms it. In short, here we would have to bring out a whole form of analyses which could be called strategies.

Because of the prevalence of troll farm operatives and their marks who echo the same aliterate trash in e-toddler speak, I would never adopt a name here for the purpose of consistency in discourse--which requires names. I mostly lurk out of morbid fascination with the down-dumbing rhetorical tricks used by the pathologically manipulative--cult leaders, demagogues, despots, and the garden variety frauds who, like gamblers too addicted to the process to quit while they're so far ahead they could retire in luxury, crash into prison, infamy, or a long tedious stew in surroundings safely uniform with sad lackeys. In real life conversation I confess myself, reflect out loud, sometimes to the point of dishing on my worst frailties, mostly to get the other to relax into likewise freely reflective thought. It would be an effort to do otherwise, because I really want to know what they know, from experience. Driven by curiosity I listen more deeply than I seem to be because I forget myself, and remember them. And if they have much to tell, I'll be happy to see them again. And if not, not. Life unfiltered and undistorted by the mechanical apparatus of organizations is almost unbelievably content-rich, and people who grew up mostly offline are correspondingly richer for it. And the paradox is that without anonymity or the distancing effect of text, less is forbidden: Privately, one-to-one, mature and amiable virtuosos of insinuation are 10 times thicker on the ground of reality than they are in this virtual cage of mutual abuse. Remember that emphasis of the difference, if you forget who signals it from outside.
