Here I am a thrashing hog adrift in the whorls or the wind. There I am a gilded carcass writhing invisibly with power from the dark age of Hexnology. In the pursuit of posting power, I ventured here and have been reborn in the :doomjak: to ignite the :bloomer:. Don't get me wrong, I don't count myself among the Posting Fedayyin of this place, and doubt I'm well-known.

But when I go back out to the lib/chud infested sections of internet, I might as well be Dr Manhattan. All of the things they say just seem so childish and impotent now, more the hissing leak of pressurized helplessness escaping from ruptured egos than anything approaching a well-considered opinion. Some CIA documents here, bit of Socratic method there, a little spritz of bullying as needed, bam.

I cannot adequately put into words the power of understanding how social interaction actually works and not the wheedly "teacher teacher" bullshit Sorkin mentality that defines modern liberal "politics" and all the culture downstream of it.

Conversely, this place is a communist sci-fi experimentation pod, out of which emerge terrifyingly augmented Deus Ex-style lefty shitposters.

    There are supposedly teams, there is supposedly a sport being played with objectives in mind, but watching from the outside it’s very clear that none of them have any idea what the fuck they’re doing

    This is sort of related to my analogy for reading theory being akin to reading the Necronomicon, if you manage to come out with your sanity intact you suddenly realize how petty and meaningless electoral politics are (particularly in the west and especially in the belly of the beast), once you glimpse the cosmic horror that is the total shape of the US empire and the monstrosity of capitalism that drives and is driven by it, unthinking unfeeling, insatiable, with a singular purpose of consuming everything on the planet without regard for life.

    This knowledge takes immense mental and emotional resolve to possess without sinking into despair or becoming misanthropic. Everyone of you here may not feel like it, because it's a hell of a burden to bare, but you're all incredibly strong people who I admire very much.
