everyone goes on endlessly about 2070 Paradigm Shift, but to me Sam's real magnum opus was An Inconvenient Anime. >40 minute powerpoint presentation he gave at a local Vermont anime con in 2012, playing a 'badass,' Sephirothian weeaboo character until he's physically forced out.



Baby cow loves some scritches..🐄🐾😍



Which Patriot faction better describes you: The backcountry tavern ruffian Or The respectable churchgoing yeoman



Palantir needs careers for quirked up white guys who read history and literature and have no technical skills and that pays a lot



One reason why conservatives (and right wingers) hate Hegel is that the entire conservative intellectual sphere is all about one-upping each other with increasingly absurd and obscure points in history where everything supposedly went wrong. The rightoids love this stuff because it LOOKS like an explanation for where everything comes from, it's comforting and demystifies the world for them, so the cattle are very impressed when Dyer blames it all on nominalism, Peterson on postmodernism, Prager U on Marxism, Irvin Babbitt on Rousseau, etc. But seeing ideas as necessary answers to problems and contradictions of their time, as part of the historical development of thought, as Hegel did, makes it impossible to participate in this absurd race to the bottom. Nominalism was simply an attempt to answer the problem of universals, which was a real problem which needed a real answer. You cannot expect people to just stop thinking or to stop looking for answers at some arbitrary moment I'm time because you don't like what they come up with to solve contradictions or problems. A proper right winger is someone like Otto von Bismarck. Did he like German nationalism? No. But he made it subservient to Prussian interests and tamed it. Did he like liberalism? No, but he knew he couldn't pretend it wasn't an important force in society and managed them through parliament and mass enfranchisement. Did he like socialism? No, but he knew it responded to the misery of the working classes so he introduced social welfare, etc. He was successful because he recognised that these ideas have their necessary existence. Rather than try to fight them as these aberrations that shouldn't, he mastered them.


I hate this. I hate millennial culture. I hate the uterus art. I hate the — toys at the grocery store. The Puritanical Zoomer brigade is coming to cancel you, and you deserve it.


How has playing video games changed for you in your 30s?
