You owe him RSS, you owe him Markdown, you owe him Creative Commons, you owe him Reddit.

He was 26, wanted to share knowledge for free and they pushed him to suicide for it.

He would be 34 by now, and I cannot imagine all the wonderful things he would have created.

      a "neoreactionary" is a fascist that thinks they're doing esotericism by using Tor Browser to look at CP. they're incredibly tiring people.

        lmao that sounds about right. Also I just started reading that blog post and it is causing me physical pain.

        Aaron, born one of humanity’s natural nobles, grows up in a century cleansed by military force of its own cultural heritage, in which all surviving noble ideals are leftist ideals.

        What fucking world does this dumbass live in?

          In a world where we are all constantly fighting to enslave each other to honor the virtue of competition.

          "who the fuck is Mencius Moldbug?" is a deep, dark rabbit hole. I recommend Elizabeth Sandifer's Neoreaction: A Basilisk on the origins and problems of the online far right movement he helped found, analyzed through a literary/philosophical lens comparable to the writing of Mark Fisher.

          (pm me if you're a broke bitch and i can send you the ebook in MOBI format)

            Thanks for the recommendation! This is the first time I've heard of neoreactionaries so I'll definitely have to read that.

            I am a broke bitch but I was able to find a torrent so it's all good. Thanks for the offer though! <3
