The people of the past were capable of seeing the world as it really is.
That's weapons-grade reactionary.
We must kill modernity, postmodernity, with all its analysis and sneering observation. There is only one rule; the rule of chaos. For humanity! For life! For the Scarlet King!
Reads like a Warhammer 40k bit.
tHE peopLe in this "warhammer 40k" are the ones caPable of seeing the world as it truly is- A world of pain and suffering, a world in which people truly live. Oooooh, I like this "Imperium"...
Blink twice if you're signaling for a T'au cleansing invasion. Blink three times if you're just hoping to get high off an Orks fungal infection.
To be fair, its outright written from the perspective of a death-cultist. I wouldn't expect an acolyte of Nylarthotep to be particularly humanistic either.
I could definitely see someone taking it literally and thinking it's a good point, especially given how selfish most people are because of Crapitalism
uhh i mean
Stop insulting me you uh, peace-lover.
HEY, I'm very committed to
this bitthe Scarlet King! It's not larping at all
When Day Breaks, The Factory, and The Database (for the punchline more than anything) are a lot more fun than this one, that's for sure. I do think it's supposed to be portraying the cultists as madmen, so I'm not buying that the writer has a fash agenda, more that they failed to effectively counterpoint the cultists because they were having too much fun writing them to consider that they needed to be contrasted with something sympathetic from the perspective of the Foundation.
Montauk becoming a cultist was a pretty dumb heel-turn stinger, too. Would have made way more sense for him to destroy critical information and logs to obfuscate the Scarlet King, given that the rest of the article clearly shows that explaining the Scarlet King is what gives it substance and power, so making it into a mystery again would effectively be "containing" it.
You are truly a weak man. The cycle is evident- The weak create bad times, the bad times created strong, the strong create good times, and the good times create the weak. This is the cycle the Scarlet King must put an end to.
