At least Rand was apparently on amphetamines. How do we explain Lind?

It’s none too surprising that he first published this with a pen name of Thomas Hobbes.

EDIT: And for a full synopsis of him… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Lind

Notice who’s mentioned as something of an adherent of him at the very end.

This just rephrases it into why the biological and theologically recognized family had such a level of sacrosanctity, as though whomever founded the lineage was a demigod in his own right…At least Wales expected natural sons to be respected every bit as much as legitimate sons.

I suppose it’s also a matter of why they were so certain bastard children would be malevolent. How was the unborn child supposed to have sinned, having no agency?! I feel like most of this is a bad sense of causality and agency.

Who are “Kindred” here? Franks and Iberians, I suppose?

But why so much emphasis on lineage purity, anyway? (A little help, Mailingspann?) We’re not cursed to be mere replicas of our forebears, I hope. Or does El’s alleged omnipotence somehow make novelty impossible?

It probably helps that, as best as I can tell, fascism is ultimately a war against the very concept of Maturity. Or at least thinking Maturity is beneath a superior’s dignity—“Maturity for thee but not for Me.” (What capitalization error?)

Keep in mind that, if I recall the synopses I’ve found correctly, the protagonist does a suicide strike on the Pentagon as penance for prior compromising of Organization security against a group of hippie-types (he was supposed to have let himself be killed by them instead). I doubt the Organization has necromancers to let them confer with him afterwards. The rest of the novel is supposed to be by another Organization member.

Bloodline this, bloodline that. What am I missing here? (See also: Medieval France.) Just make sure someone has smelling salts ready when he hears about how natural sons were as a rule acknowledged and given inheritance in medieval Wales.

Still the question of why he prioritizes Lust so much more than the Avarice and Pride/Arrogance that occupy so much attention from the prophets and New Testament (the latter specifically imperialistic, Rome-style avarice and arrogance), outside of the likely suspect of the Prosperity Gospel.

I’m pretty sure the Talmudic rule didn’t expect 12-14-year-old girls to be married off with anything resembling frequency. Betrothed to a boy of similar age as a pact between families, maybe, but not flatly married. A floor of 12 was likely acknowledging that having proper mental maturity before then just isn’t possible, no matter what her everyday behavior might evince (as in understanding ethics et al., thank you very much).

Keep in mind that the Talmud wants to fill in every corner case it comes across; certain passages trotted out as endorsement of paedophilia aren’t actually the case. The bit about a toddler still being deemed a virgin, for instance, was apparently a case of preceding child rape, and the rabbis determining that there was no way this should be held against her many-years-hence marriage prospects in any way. In at least its contemporary way, it looks to have been safeguarding the rape victim’s future, not the paedophile, whom I’ll trust got at least exile. (And hopefully I haven’t crosshaired myself with mistaken information or interpretation…)

“Sorry to burst your bubble…well, not really…but there isn’t exactly condemnation of the pre-marital sex between Ruth and Boaz. Yes, it’s there once you realize what ‘feet’ were often a euphemism for. El probably sees much bigger fish to fry than monogamous premarital sex, anyway. Avarice and classism, for starters; just ask Amos and Micah.”

I think she’s saying that the crystals negate the alleged malign effects of electromagnetic emanations. She isn’t alleging evil, just danger along the lines of radon or excessive sunlight. I expect her to claim that she keeps the crystals on hand precisely for their effects.

Still, are we to conclude that these specific crystals can somehow disrupt static electricity?

So, only incels have distinct psyches? Although I swear you manage to go to great lengths to conceal those distinctions by encouraging omnihostility in each other.

Utsava #magick #wingnut #quack #conspiracy #mammon

$225 an hour…? For things as nebulous as “true life purposes” (probably with a tone of fixity that’s guaranteed to be offputting to me; no agency, no deal), that’s hopelessly high.

Meanwhile, who’d offer diplomas for psychic readings and metaphysical healing, outside of truly shady correspondence courses?

So is he willing to risk the possibility of the stratocracy not ending afterwards? I presume he still wants a republic, at least in looks.

Peter Falkenberg Brown #wingnut #sexist #transphobia #homophobia #conspiracy

If nothing else, he’d better be amenable to the idea that one or both biological parents can forfeit their worth through abuse, emotional included.

As to children being alleged to be sexual at onset…Well, I doubt in the sense of actually seeking sex (“Blech” is a more likely response at first), but they may have a sense of whom they’ll be attuned to post-puberty. Note that I’ve heard tell of someone who grew up on a farm learning of sexuality (because of the local animals) at the age of two without any resultant problems.

He’s probably forgetting about sexuality with mutual and informed consent being the thing lauded without restriction. That necessarily precludes paedophilia and bestiality, so I wouldn’t quite say there are no boundaries.

Are they sure "true Aryans" are actually humans, or even organic lifeforms, by now?

Probably thinking that they're just that pure/mighty.

Never mind that it's doubtful the taints of the Great Eastern Waste would have stayed put. Nuclear fallout blown over to the Americas, anyone?

@Peacemonger373 #170284

Anything to be as gods, hm? I expect some of them are looking into biological immortality as we speak.

But I wonder how well they'll take the pressures of governing an entire planet at once. Divinity means more responsibility, not less.

I’ll grant there’s a question of which feed the poll was on, and thus who was likely to see it.

That said, how would theme park stoicism even admit something as chaotic as bloodthirst into its presence? Although the idea of this kind of mass execution, with every hanging needing individual attention, being passionless doesn’t help.

On a side note, lynching as a festival isn’t quite unprecedented. Medieval executions could draw spectators likewise, and theologically there’s the Abominable Fancy. Desperate thirst for excitement???

Probably blinkered by their sense of the “White Race” being the whole of Europe. (Actually only consistently Germans and Angles—and I don’t think there are plans to include the Vandals any time soon.) Whole of western Europe, anyway, given their hobby of sneering at Slavs.

William Luther Pierce #racist #psycho

From what I’ve heard of the book, anything we’d call warm feelings, even for “loyal” Whites, aren’t particularly noticeable. Pride for the White race, but little warmer.

How does one imagine emotionally living on Glory and Power alone for even just five years, anyway? I don’t think I’ve ever had any internal senses of being flatly powerful or weak (competence and ineptitude are different things to me, in large part by being specific to particular actions), so unless I’m caught in internal semantics, I can’t fathom that sort of feeling so well.

That doesn’t mean it looks any less hollow, though.

I hope they at least take other vaccines, and don’t rely solely on theurgy to endure disease. (Really, why would El mind you fixing problems yourselves when the opportunity presents itself? Agency existed prior to the Tree of Knowledge mishap, yes? So why not be considerate of El and use it?)

Still, what do they think their lives would be like if not for leftward “machinations”?

It would probably help if he supplied examples of things besides the Bible that he doesn’t deem satanic in any way.

Somehow, I doubt you’re a prophet. Not with the Book of Jonah lashing the reputation of flat doomsayers like yourself.

Doesn’t El have vastly higher priorities than stewing about alleged attacks on the alleged totality of his authority? Like locating Kissinger’s reliquary and destroying it before he can attain lichdom?

Does it make this worse for me to point out that I interpret Zepar as presiding over eugenics? He impels love, but also renders women barren. I don’t think it’s necessarily the same women he entrances (and basically causes to be raped).

Al Benson, Jr. #wingnut #conspiracy

Brown did have a flaw, mind. Namely, he was so fixated on the raid and the uprising he expected it to produce that he didn’t hearken to Frederick Douglass’s advice that all he’d really accomplish was binding himself and his followers in a steel trap. Despite Douglass having first-hand experience of how Slaver Territory worked. (Didn’t stop Douglass from giving him a eulogy, though.) I doubt we’re looking at anything conscious, though, and I definitely would prefer not to jump to White Savior Complex without more evidence.
