2015 isn't "Reactionary Christian", it's both reactionaries and Christians as separate groups. The reactionaries are the ever-present /pol/ leaking across boards; the Christians are a genuinely new phenomenon and therefore more interesting. Is it backlash against the rampant fedora-posting of the last few years? The result of figures like Pope Francis reviving the communalistic tracts of Christianity? Combination of multiple factors? No idea.

And 2016 will be the hardcore return of Stirner-posting fused with "smug"; a realization of the inherent shittiness of life and ironically having fun with how shit it is to fit in with the normies while laughing behind their backs.

We also had a Buddhism fad awhile back.

Islam and Judaism will become the new meme religions at some point. However, Taoism, Shintoism, and Confucianism are also pretty memeable.

And let's not even get into Zoroastrianism. That'd be a hoot even if just to piss off any Muslims browsing.

>> No.6780390

>>6780363
I'm not entirely sure about Islam and Judaism. Christianity has long legs as a meme precisely because it's so foundational in Western literature and civilization. The last two thousand years or so in Europe and the Americas have been caught up in Christianity and profoundly shaped by it.

Judaism, while responsible for giving rise to Christianity, has always been a marginal culture in the West, and Islam has outright been the enemy of the West for a long time. There's not as much /lit/ related material to draw on from both of them, at least not as much that the average /lit/izen can relate to.

I actually am surprised we haven't gotten more Hinduposting. That's a religion with a huge amount of literature behind it.

I see what you're saying. I suppose a certain amount of understanding is needed to be smug enough to properly meme a religion and said understanding is hard to come by if everything is in Hebrew/Arabic.

>I actually am surprised we haven't gotten more Hinduposting. That's a religion with a huge amount of literature behind it.
"Hindu Philosophy" is like saying "Western Philosophy". You've got hundreds of traditions (Some of which are outright atheistic) within it.

But also, it's just so...Foreign. At least the Buddhists have tried to spread their religion into the West (And, largely, have put out COHERENT, NON-TRANSLATED information). Compare that with, say, Hinduism, which has vast amounts of literature that, if in English at all, is just translated. Plus many of the names are in their original format ("Pravhapapyaprajiraorpaorarara" instead of "He who brings the fire") which is hard to read for us in the West (As we are not used to such names).

It has never been a fad. The fads are forced by people who cannot get a foothold in serious institutions. That's why we had Ayn Rand, Stirner and Jesus H. Christ. The only "Marxism" that we had was a grotesque American Red Scare era version of Stalinism. No need to call the shillposters "fads".

>National-Anarchism echoes most strains of anarchism by expressing a desire to reorganize human relationships, with an emphasis on replacing the hierarchical structures of the state and capitalism with local, community decision-making. National-Anarchists, however, advocate collective action organized along the lines of ethnic national identity, and aim towards a decentralized social order where tribes build and maintain an autonomous village-community, as an organic unity, which is politically meritocratic, economically self-sufficient, and ecologically sustainable.
