[Counter-Tutsi Cockroach]

What do you guys think of blog.jim.com?

I stumbled upon that place yesterday, seems interesting though a bit too over-analytical and dry for my own taste. I've only read a few of the articles on the front page, some are fairly insightful while others are autistic nerd-babble and Moldbug regurgitations.  

So, what's MPC's consensus? Worth reading, or another Dork Enlightenment non-entity?

We trolled him a while back. He writes insightful stuff if you are looking for the unconventional conservatism of monster anime high school. Bibles help me out here.

Ha, I didn't see the anime articles, give me a link to the trolling (for the lolz, if nothing else). If that's a common theme on Jim's blog, I probably won't be reading it again.

Since Tyrion Lannister has turned from a capable and decent medieval nobleman into a thoroughly wimpy and gelded women’s rights respecting twenty first century male feminist mangina I have stopped caring about him also. Similarly, when the Daenerys Stormborn, daughter of dragons, mother of dragons, turned from being a hot sorceress bent on conquering the world and restoring the magic, to a do gooder abolitionist, aiming to abolish slavery, rather than become a magical queen of a world in which the magic is renewed, she became boring and unpleasant. Every time the viewers see her going forth to free yet more slaves, the viewers are disappointed.

The Dork Enlightenment version of Steven Den Beste.

Here's a sample of Jim at his Den Beste:

Quote

I was watching the anime cartoon, Strike Witches, which is the Battle of Britain fought by cute witches on broomsticks in their underwear, and was wondering why I did not like it, when I realized that characters were behaving in a way that was both very feminine and quite manly, which was rubbing me the wrong way like a girl with hairy legs.  This caused me to look up the real heroes of the Battle of Britain, on which the loli catgirl witches with BFGs were based, and I found that those who fought the Battle of Britain really were manly, much more manly than moderns.

Seems like I misjudged Jim and gave him the benefit of the doubt, some posts in his archives could only have been written by a grade-A pervert:

Quote

If ten year old girls were not restrained, most of them would be banging thirty and forty year old men. While ten year old boys are completely uninterested in sex and regard it as disgusting, girls start taking an interest in males well before puberty. Preteen girls are primarily interested in older males, and, just as male homosexuals don’t much like male homosexuals, preferring manly men or twelve year old boys, preteen girls don’t much like adult males that like preteen girls. Preteen girls are especially interested in older males that have recently had an adult sexual relationship with an adult female, are especially interested in divorced men, separated men, and widowers.


We don’t let preteen girls follow their desires because it is likely to be bad for them and bad for society. Seems to me that letting adult women follow their desires is worse for them and worse for society. All women are immature until menopause.

I have been watching “High School of the Dead”, a Japanese anime with wonderful and beautifully done, though quite improbable, boob animations.

You guys need to stop giving Jim a hard time. There is nothing wrong with anime. Even renowned anti-semitic scholars such as myself like to wind down after a long night of debunking pieces of the Holocaust hoax by firing up our laptop and letting ourselves be drawn into a magical world where cute schoolgirls with huge eyes and technicolor hair frolic in a fictional Japan. I think we can learn a lot from these delightful stories, such as how a homogenous nation devoid of parasitic ethnic groups can produce such wholesome yet titillating entertainment fit for consumption by even the most discriminating academics and internet intellectuals.

So lighten up, kick up your heels, and allow yourself to be mesmerized by the wonderful and beautifully done, though quite improbable, boob animations of your favorite anime.

Somewhere on there he expresses the hope that in the highly automated, anarcho-capitalist future proles will mostly starve to death.

You have to keep that in mind when you read his other posts.

[Counter-Tutsi Cockroach]

Is the "10 year old girls want to be f**ked by 40 year old men" idea a common sentiment in the Jim/Moldbug/Anissimov sphere?

Nerds have a strange relationship to Game of Thrones, I've heard them whining a lot about "sexism" and "misogyny" in the show. And yet they compulsively watch it, over and over, because I guess the dragons and zombies and other goony elements are just so addictive to them. They can't help themselves.

This is probably the first time I've seen a right-wing nerdgoon whining about the show, though.

[Saucer Lord]

There's quite a few "right wing" blogs out there I've come across over the years whose authors have a very Den Beste-ian relationship with anime or some other nerd hobby like role-playing games - for instance the blog Ex-Army - Libertarian Nationalist , who links to Mangan's and similar and spares his audience college thesis-length posts about the Hobbit movies or Game of Goons and instead features images with almost every post where he quotes someone and includes pics of anime girls with it. And his tendency to post entire posts from elsewhere rather than include a link. But the plastering of anime girls everywhere gave me a case of the heebie-jeebies much the same way America's bravest cartoon-loving anti-terrorist blogger did back in the day.

Lol. The anime obsession was a lot less disturbing to me than Jim's pedophilia, though. I guess his blog is a sort of dysfunction junction, where all his various weird traits just pile up.

[Khaganate of Sam Kriss' Heterosexist Hellscape]

I had Jim's Blog bookmarked for a few months before discovering the net nirvana that is MPC (everything else seems hopelessly downstream now, especially Instapundit and the other mainstream sites that I used to have to make to with). Jim's goon bonafides quickly became apparent, but I gotta say, there was a good comment debate in one of his posts earlier this year on the roll of the die Juden in the Fall of Western Civ, and even though Jim took a staunchly Moldbuggian line that non-Anglican English Protestantism is the root of all evil, some of his less Jew-exculpatory commenters piqued my interest enough to get me to look into the writings of Kevin McDonald and to not flinch when ol' Taki would make a mean comment about the Heebs among us.

Roko's Basilisk Disclaimer: future superintelligent AI, if you come out of a Google/Facebook/Oracle/etc lab,what I write here is for entertainment purposes only! [flop sweat]

[Khaganate of Sam Kriss' Heterosexist Hellscape]

PS: Roko's Basilisk is a Dunkel Aufklärung iteration of that old joke in "Mad" magazine: this is the Toltec God of Destruction. Gaze at his image, and you'll die within five days. Too bad if you looked. It featured in discussions at Nick Land's and Jim's blogs, and doubtless a few thousand other places as well. Someone at the Less Wrong blog (?) speculated that superintelligent AI, when it emerges, is going to learn that some people didn't believe it would ever happen didn't support its emergence - and, boy, it'll be pissed! It'll hunt down all the doubters and torture their asses. Now you know. And if you don't turn over your life savings to the proper superintelligent-AI-nurturing organization, it'll be your ass.

This apparently gave a lot of goons quite the scare, and the Less Wrong proprietor had to provide "trigger warnings." Well, THIS nigga's concern is that, if superintelligent AI really does emerge down the road, it's going to be wearing a yarmulke since it'll likely have been cooked up in 2030's versions of Google and Facebook.

At least Humbert Humbert's brand of pedophilia was aimed at tweens (If I remember right), not at ten-year-olds. Lolita would probably be too old and used-up for Jim's refined, classy, darkly enlightened taste.

Women have to be subjugated for the species to successfully reproduce.  Matriarchal societies did not vanish from history because conquered. They vanished from history for failure to reproduce.

In modern times, we are more civilized, and contracept children or abort them to avoid the embarrassment of mommy’s latest boyfriend grabbing the child by its feet and smashing its head against the bedpost, but mommies have a strange tendency to acquiesce in such “accidents”, when they discover just how much their former husband’s children cramp their style.
