Not a big Fuentes guy, but he’s 100% right about metapolitics, Trump aesthetics, and Vaporwave calling back to a past conception of a glorious modernist future.
WE NEED THIS SPIRIT BACK. REJECT THE INCOMING WAVE OF 90s NOSTALGIA @AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST I've said it before - Bowden in his juvenile comic-book/Americana appreciating modernist mode would have DUG Donald like Dickie Spencer did before he became a fag.
Time to post quotes @BowdenBot
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot NO BLACKPILLS.
{Someone} once said “Wouldn’t it be better if we presented ourselves as the victims?”
The problem with doing that is that it’s what everyone else does... if you concentrate on pain and defeat you will breed resentment, and I believe {these} are... to be avoided.
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot And if you have a decline and you have a desire to assert yourself to arrest the decline, and you have to apologize to yourself about even having the idea of assertion to arrest decline, you’re not going to get anywhere, are you?
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot {If someone says} you’re descended from brigands... you say “I’m not going to bother about figures and who did what to whom; I’ve overcome that!”
They may say “That’s a bit illiberal.”
And you say “Liberalism is moral syphilis, and I’m stepping over it!”
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot I believe we’ve created a modern world that has been taken away from what it could have been. If people with our sorts of values ruled modernity, everything about this society would be at one level the same, and in every other respect completely different...
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot People would still drive contemporary cars, There’d still be jets, and there’d still be supercomputers and so on, but the texture and the nature of life would be different...
How so?
@AaronWriterAC @RAZ0RFIST @BowdenBot Mono-ethnic culture
Respect for the past glories of our civilisation.
We would not preface every attempt to be strong by saying “I’m sorry…I’m sorry for what we have done…”
WE’RE NOT SORRY!
And we’ve stepped over the prospect of “Being sorry”.
NEVER apologise.
