tbh, if I ever see a nationalist blog on Tumblr, my immediate assumption (following the “politics is a mask for your personal problems” rule of thumb) is that they most likely have no sense of order in their own lives and that they have no actual heritage or history to be proud of so they externalize it all into some bullshit about traditionalist Europa or whatever just to have something to be proud of regardless of the fact that whatever they are holding onto is just a fictional version of what is just as degenerate in real life as the things they are running away from

All nations are simultaneously both fictional and real, like money.

The right’s embarrassing, pointless war against pornography is one of the reasons I desperately hope that the new right will phase out religion almost entirely

the battle against porn isn’t just stupid in that it’s entirely unwinnable, but it accomplishes nothing at all. A society without porn is no different than a society with porn.

mitigatedchaos

I think pornography will be considered to be the alcohol of the 21st century.

Some people can drink it in moderation, but others are alcoholics.  It isn’t required for health, but moderate consumption doesn’t harm health much.  It can interfere with reasoning.  There are ethics issues around its creation.

TBH burning political capital on fighting porn is significantly less dumb than burning political capital on fighting the gays.

Note that I’m not in favor of banning alcohol, but I do like the European idea of introducing it gradually.

I feel like Facebook is trying to program me.

I just got a notification reminding me I haven’t posted in a week.

The week before that, I got a notification telling me “you have shared x amount of posts this week, your friends are responding well” and it showed me all the people who liked the posts I shared, seemingly trying to encourage me to share more

I’m kinda reminded of Alan Watt’s thesis that social engineering is going to be moving in a direction more like video games

I saw this app on the app store the other day which is like a daily planner, but it’s in the form of an RPG stats system lol. After every accomplishment, you receive these useless experience points, and after certain amounts of accomplishments being fulfilled you “level up”

And the sad thing is that this is actually a very strong motivator. When people are so alienated from their life around them, it can be very compelling to find signals of progress outside of the material world and inside these little digital fema camps we all live inside

I don’t know, the idea of video game like motivators being used to socially engineer society probably sounds crazy at first, but I know I can’t be the only one getting these notifications from Facebook

mitigatedchaos

Social media was always a game, whether it’s upvotes on Reddit or likes on Facebook, it’s all about using points to represent social approval.

But consider also, that posts arrive at random times, they contain messages that you probably won’t fully guess, they’re often short and provide that little hit of dopamine that way.  Even a non-gamified social media website has game-like characteristics.

white people are racist by default (in the united states as well as other countries). are you white? congrats, you’re racist, and here’s the explanation:

you grew up in a racist society -> you were socialized to be racist thanks to racism being a dominant ideology -> you benefit from racism -> you’re racist no matter how much u think you’re not.

unlearning it is going to be a constant battle and u will never unlearn it fully. accept this. it is ingrained in you as a result of your upbringing and the media you’ve consumed. the sooner you come to terms with your own racism, the sooner u can better yourself. recognize the problem in yourself instead of setting yourself apart from those “other” white people.

While I fundamentally agree, I feel like this reasoning is what turned my brother into a huge racist so I’m not sure if it’s worth it

mitigatedchaos

The OP post is a mind trap, equivalent to religious sin. The entire purpose is to burden you with a debt that can never be repaid, so they can rope you into their ideology and never let you leave.

Infinite debts are not meant to be repaid.

Still worth it reblogging for that reply by bizzarrodf

mitigatedchaos

I do agree. I just wanted to be a bit more explicit about the infinite debt bizzarodf’s brother either decided to invoke on others or embrace as identity. I still see this stuff from Left/Libs in the US, just one level obscured. This kind of thinking is an exploitable vulnerability.

Six Baltimore Schools Can’t Produce a Single Student Proficient in English or Math

Despite spending more per pupil than all but two large school districts in America, at least half a dozen government schools in Baltimore were unable to produce one single student who was proficient in either English or math last year.

They spend the 3rd most in the nation per student and can’t produce a quality student.

MONEY IS NOT WHAT MAKES SCHOOLS GOOD.

It’s family values and communities. Things the left has been trying to destroy for decades. 

ranma-official

I completely agree, they would have been good at math if they’d hated gay people more, you make sense.

mitigatedchaos

Actually, Community and Family don’t require hating gay people (if you aren’t a member of [SUBSET OF RELIGIONS]). It is this blog’s belief that stable and beneficial families can be the new cultural norm without stomping all over the LGBTs.

kissingerandpals

“community and family are important aspects of a child’s development and can be correlated with success in school more often than not, therefore we know already that there are things we can do to improve school achievement without necessarily pouring money into an already failed and broken system”

“Yeah, sure, we need to hate gay people more, that will fix things”

Fuck, I’m so tired of shibboleths and dog whistles predetermining the outcome of any political discussion. How jaded do you even have to be to interpret “family and community” as anti-LGBT?

mitigatedchaos

Truly, the religious right’s long term use of “family” and “community” as dogwhistles for anti-LGBT have damaged this country. Ranma here is foreign, but many in the United States have developed similar responses on those keywords.

The irony is that gay marriage is would be better from this perspective, since it could be used for increased stable family formation and create more potential homes for adopted or foster children. Also while it normalizes gay behavior (which makes the cons upset because religion) it also normalizes gay behavior (which is what makes it useful) as part of the life script, which should reduce promiscuity (and high levels of promiscuity generally aren’t good for people) and encourage integration with the national culture instead of counter-culture waging culture war.
