“Vae victus: Woe to the conquered. So goes the recurring motif uttered by the children of the night. If what we conquer is an abstract state of affairs, then suffering is distributed into an equalized nothingness: woe is the Great Shadow haunting the Good” youtu.be/xaw0UiJ5dcY

@Ancapta presumably if a person is in cultural leftist spaces but they feel like they have no air to breathe with a lot of restrictive norms, then following somebody who burns all those norms to a crisp can be cathartic. i think it's a consistent appeal of my brand (TM)

@Ancapta i think both narratives can be compatible. especially since i've had people explicitly tell me semi-insane things like: 'i'm temporarily unfollowing you because my friends demand it but still checking your page regularly.' i.e. there is a real demand for dark wokeness in general

every leftist who is not malicious or evil secretly yearns for dark woke. i can tell because uWuified softgirlboy leftists don't often press that unfollow button

presumed thought process: {~ this person liberally uses the retard word on the one hand and says phrases like 'moral facts win, indigenous perspectives lose' ~ ~ but unlike all my psychopathic friends is not stressing me out about code of conduct rules}

@Ancapta a] it's a good reason to use the beautiful antique collection inherited from my grandmother who was a stand-up alcoholic until she was 60 and almost lived to be 90 b] you can take a random shot of rum in a stylish glass with lead in it for free comfort and focus

@atheopagan but why?

reintroducing alcohol into my life has been an unironically healthy and beneficial thing. when you're not a child, the urge to compulsively redose is less — or perhaps that's just a permanent effect of LSD therapy — so i can effortlessly avoid hangovers and negative effects.

cursed to be an atheopagan (explicit liberal cosmopolitanism baked in) from hyperborea (Nietzsche reference, which, also, for Nietzsche, means cosmopolitanism) these literal cosmopolitanism dog whistles then get interpreted as esoteric neopagan fascism. lmao

i thought this was a decent anti-Trump meme but it's actually real lmfao

@realnyatta the 'austification' of rationalist concepts (in any sense) is a recent phenomenon and rationalists (of any kind) can have a rich phenomenology that most analytic autists don't offer except, like, Bonjour

@realnyatta well, you're in luck, because moral propositions are not just propositions but refer to the supracognitive and superordinate Good, which in turn is grasped both cognitively and non-cognitively. propositions still objectively exist, but they're more like middle entities.

the game design orthodoxy is truly an abhorrent creature. almost everybody is obsessed with minimizing player friction, designing around the worst playtester experience, and simplifying all encounters and undermining their artistic vision in order to """respect your time"""

should be emphasized in terms of its intrinsic value. Linux is not an automatic experience designed for you by some overpaid visionary, it's a modular one.

even the ways you can build your own character, or improve your own life, in correspondence to how much work you put into customizing the most arcane aspects of your installation (like making a driver-level modification or compiling a custom kernel)

Linux distributions should not be aiming for entirely mainstream appeal, and they should learn the value of niche marketing. here is the essential problem with 'noob-friendly' distros that install a billion packages for you: they have to manage a heterogeneous space that respects
