Who is Moldbug and why do douchebags care what he has to say?
This is a question I would like answered.
Comments
Who is this Moldbug you speak of, and what do alleged douchebags have to do with him?
I run into a lot of douchebags on the internet, and a lot of them really like or at least care about some blogger calling himself Mencius Moldbug.
Myrmidon, you do nothing but look at douchebags on the internet.
By now, you have probably stumbled upon some meta-douchebag culture crowding around this person, who is probably some sort of underground douchebag monarch.
Summary of ideas, plox. Smells like your average smokescreen of purple prose to deter critics and impress proles, and his blogroll links to those wonderful Mad Men wannabes who consider themselves too classy to use the word 'white supremacy', but not really in the mood for the usual bout of obscurantism today.
Myrm, I'll answer your question as soon as you can answer my question: Who is Retsupurae and why do douchebags care what he has to say?
(The joke is that nonsensical questions don't work)
After wading through some terminology posts, it seems he is supremely cynical when it comes to the current gubbermint system, while trusting in the benevolence of human nature with regards to how his own brand of corporate fascism won't turn into a dystopia. Perhaps they aspire to imitate how he obfuscates hypocrisy with WORDSWORDSWORDS?

This does not help.
Nick Land is also crazy and weird, but that's a subject for another day.

I am not a white nationalist which is why I will spend half the goddamn essay defending white nationalism.
>The animal-rights people have a marvelous moral rationale for violence and even murder
>links to mentally disturbed murderer of Pim Fortuin
Funny, over here even the most right-wing politicians are careful not to blame his murder on the lefties. I wonder how the bro would feel about the fact that we have an animal welfare party in parliament.
>ascribes crime to race instead of poverty, despite believing in the saving power of the market
>historicizes white nationalism in order to make it an understandable and thus acceptable position, but one could do the same for higher representation of minorities in crime statistics
Meh, not as jargony as I feared, just sprinkled with a shitload of reductionist examples of historical events.
All in all, seems too navelgazing to be 'harmful'.
