Mississippi’s Letter of Secession on slavery:
Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun.

LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 days ago
He is a racial narcissist (and racial fascist) who has narcissistic delusions about race that are his projections of his own insecurity. He gets narcissistic supply from people responding to his delusions as if they are real. Which is why narcissists crave proximity and control so much and are fascists, because their biggest goal in life is to cater and caretake their delusions, not to actually think or do things or be progressive. It’s about the appearance of those things because it was always about narcissistic supply in the first place.
Most white men who are racial narcissists believe in:
- physical narcissism, which they believe black men are superior to them due to eugenics from chattel slavery, including a belief that they are stronger, their dicks are better and they are better at sex (this is a REALLY big deal to them, more than you would realize). This is also why white supremacists wanted to EAT and DID EAT black slaves. It’s also why they have to push narratives that black people are ugly, phrenology, etc. It’s why they are so physically cruel to them - they overabuse them because they are physically insecure.
- intellectual narcissism, which they believe they are superior to black people because of chattel slavery/owning them (aka sadistic and psychopathic abuse, not intellect) and the various white supremacy lies. This is why they don’t like DEI. Again, remember this is projection- it’s their own deepest insecurities they vomit out constantly through delusions.
Then these delusions can be applied to others not even in that group, because it was never based on reality to begin with. That’s why he’s calling white people the n word, he simply wants supply and it doesn’t matter if what he says makes sense or is rational.
Tldr; Curtis Yarvin believes his own dick is small, he is bad in bed, he is weak, and he is stupid

Fascinating. I never understood why the cuckolding fetish (fixation? obsession?) came with such a strong overlap with, I guess, race play? Feels like a charitable way to put it.
I didn’t believe it at first, but any quick web search will show that cuckolding largely is about the races of the people involved.
Which makes a lot more sense if seen through the framework you just described.
Dasus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Sure, yeah, but none of that explains what billionaires being “negrous” means? Like something something connect them with the same negative attributes that they keep going on about?
Can white billionaires be “negrous”?
rozodru@lemmy.world 2 days ago
ok I’m going to TRY to explain his thinking but I’m likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.
What he’s saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they’re insanely wealthy when “they’re not”.
this is what he likely means when he says “n-word rich”. Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He’s watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this “bling” has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that’s what he means by “n-word rich”.
he could have just said “The problems the majority of billionaires aren’t actually billionaires. They just think they are.”
Wolf@lemmy.today 1 day ago
That’s what I thought he was saying at first, but that still doesn’t even make any sense though. You are either a billionaire or you are not. I don’t know of anyone who goes around claiming to be a billionaire when they are not, and I could probably name a few who are but never mention it.
Also why would it be a problem? Is he saying there is not enough of a wealth gap? That’s demonstrably false.
And what’s with the nature and function bit?
Sounds to me he’s just spouting hatred to be provocative without any real point.
dariusj18@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Some people like to rebrand the n-word as a non-racial term. Pretending that it is not tied to skin color or racism but behavior.

IMHO a p2p system of the future should work as one user group being one democratically controlled system (like OS with its resources and entities) with computation and storage distributed between member nodes. The reason I’m not too interested in that idea is that it’s about global Internet and global availability. Today delay-tolerant offline-enabled applications seem more historically relevant.

I’m middle aged now, but I have to admit, while I’ve always known there was racism still around, and still part of the government. I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is. The kind of people in charge right now are literal cartoon villains when I was a kid.
I mean that literally.
khannie@lemmy.world 2 days ago

Same. Same. I’m feeling like I must live in a bubble (nobody around me is like that) and also that it was also always there, they’re just more comfortable taking their masks off right now. It’s depressing.
On the flip side though the people I have around me are mostly family and my kids. I have zero social time beyond that at the moment. Two of my kids besties are not white so I’m at least absolutely sure I’m raising my kids to not be racist pieces of shit. It’s something.

He’s saying billionaires spend their money ostentatiously, foolishly, lavishly like they never saw money before. “New rich” would be a comparable term.
Still, not sure I completely get it.
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Black people aren’t supposed to have inherited wealth, therefore all rich black people are nouveau riche (new rich). In a spectacular display of racist logic this chud is saying that spending with abandon is something only a newly rich black person would do.
lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Still, not sure I completely get it. Same. One legitimate criticism of how rich people interact with the economy is that rich people have a tendency to hoard their money instead of pumping it back into the economy. Spending all your dough may look tacky and ostentatious, but it creates more jobs than piling it up in a vault.
So this guy’s thinking is contorted in fascinating ways. I am starting to wonder, though, does being a bad thinker make you more likely to be racist? Or does racism harm your thinking? Both?
Almacca@aussie.zone 2 days ago
So like covering everything with gold and putting your name in giant allcaps on them?
bss03@infosec.pub 2 days ago
I think you have to go several levels of racism deep to even understand it. Like the (censored) phrase “I don’t hate black people; I hate N-----s” has to make enough sense you understand the “distinction” being made. Then you translate that distinction and apply it to some sort of “good billionaire” and you sort of get his claim.
I think?
I certainly would have missed his point, if any; I’m not sure it was worth catching.

The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

Yarvin and Thiel scare me…
Here’s some of Yarvin’s writings, if you want to feel like disappearing into the woods, getting on a rocket, and blasting off as far, far away from this planet as possible:
precedent should be rolled back to 1900 at the latest, and probably more like 1800. The democratic era has corrupted everything, law being no exception.
One way to see internal security in a Patchwork realm is as a compromise between two sorts of Orwellianism. In the sense that the realm is (effectively) omniscient and omnipotent, it would fit most peoples’ definition of “Orwellian.”
Residents of a Patchwork realm have no security or privacy against the realm.
All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both. Residents cannot use this data to snoop into each others’ lives, but Friscorp can use it to monitor society at an almost arbitrarily detailed level.
There is one problem, though, which is … the problem of adults who are not productive members of society. In our little Newspeak we call them wards of the realm.
As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.
Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.
However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.
The best humane alternative to genocide I can think of is not to liquidate the wards—either metaphorically or literally—but to virtualize them. A virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement, waxed like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies. This would drive him insane, except that the cell contains an immersive virtual-reality interface which allows him to experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.6
The virtual worlds of today are already exciting enough to distract many away from their real lives. They will only get better. Nor is productive employment precluded in this scenario—for example, wards can perform manual labor through telepresence. As members of society, however, they might as well not exist. And because cells are sealed and need no guards, virtualization should be much cheaper than present-day imprisonment.
Many other regions of the earth, however, contain large numbers of human beings whose existence may well prove an unequivocal liability to the owners of any ground on which they would reside. If so, they can be virtualized, creating giant human Wachowski honeycombs of former bezonians, whose shantytowns can be cleared and redeveloped as villas for retired oil-company executives.

I keep running into this problem where I hear about this conservative intellectual and I go to read their work. I know I’m not going to agree with them, but let me find the flaw or where our values diverge in their argument.
When I gloss it, I’ll assume the problem is me when i fail to find that spot. So I do a closer, more serious reading of their work. Still don’t see it. Again. Fail. Again. Fail. Again.fsil.failfsilfisjl.
These “intellectuals” are people who haven’t read widely, haven’t practice developing ideas, and don’t know how to write a structured argument.These fuckers were “STEM” smart from a young age, probably without much effort, got accolades from everyone about how smart they were, and thought the liberal arts were a joke. And honestly, until advanced high school classes, they often are. Because before that age, your brain lacks the skills and data to do it at all.
Their combined rhetorical strength lies in misleading statements, provocations, and hiding their true intent behind mealy mouth pseudo intellectualism. At least Yarvin will come out and say he wants feudalism. Fuck Jordan Peterson in particular. I am worse off for ever having tried to comprehend his thinking. I’m not sure who else sucks in this day and age, but I include Theil, bronze age pervert, and the CEO of Palintar. All, I believe, have advanced degrees in the liberal arts.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t conservatives worth reading and disagreeing with, but the surface is polluted.

Is he criticizing them or is he actually with classism and billionares but just wants them to get their act together and invest in better things? is that something of the billionare-class shortcomings or does he oppose America’s form of capitilism which lead to their existence?
