I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:
I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.
JD Vance is probably among us as we speak. He could be any username…
Is he you?
I wish, but no.
Ya know, we used to joke about Ted Cruz being an alien and recording the shape of people’s skulls, as if that were unusual.
Ted Cruz For Human President was a different time.
Ok now where does this fit on my red string chart that links david gerard to X Æ A-Xii/Techno Mechanicus
Keep in mind that, for theologically conservative (“the Bible is historically and spiritually accurate”) Christians like myself,
rationalists whoo
I think we can all agree now that US Rationalists are basically all ex-Christians who are looking for the same thing but with the serial numbers filed off.
Some of them are even returning to presumably evangelical churches.
Sedevacantist Catholic or Russian Orthodox more likely
Apparently for all the cosplaying of alt righters going Russian Orthodox, not that many actually go to church. ( Which is an important part). Thankfully for the priests who would have to deal with the madmen.
I mean, I think actually having to interact with these loons would be a strong incentive to liberalize their theology which would be a good thing.
It’s the glitz of Catholicism with fewer of those pesky liberals around.
Also, some Orthodox monasteries had an enslaved workforce until well into the 19th century, which must appeal to neoreactionary scum.
Another reason right-wing shitheads are becoming tradorthodox instead of tradcath these days is because they think the current Pope is a woke liberal monster.
I happened to be at mass today. There was a little explanation in the missalette that not only did Jesus’s death redeem the sins of everyone today, he also redeemed all the sinners who lived and died before Christ came. I dunno, it reminded me of the Roko’s Basilisk eternal judgment computer simulation…
Downvoting because this is a link to Reddit instead of the original source.
your lack of situational awareness is alarming. stop driving, grab a coffee, put your feet up, and take a moment to actually fucking look at what you replied to
it may help
The situation is that we should always link to the source, not to another aggregator. This decreases the odds of it becoming a dead link. And that’s before even dealing with the issue that people here are typically explicitly avoiding Reddit.
Then add in that the linked video is a full 3 hours of a Joe Rogan video and no time stamp was provided to tell us what we should be looking for. I’d downnvote a second time just for that if I could.
The problem isn’t me, it’s a lack of awareness on your part.
The point of this post is ssc. Not vance. The problem is you.
Sneerclub is a point and laugh at the radicalizing Rationlists place not complain about the gop place. (And if you dont know what that is read the rationalwiki (not related to the Rationalists) on lesswrong).
The point was SSCers reacting. Vance being an SSCer isn’t notable as he’s a Thiel creature. SSCers being confronted with the eyeshadowed mirror that is Vance is much more interesting because they spend a lot of time being nominally not exactly what Vance is.
