"Suspicious references to Jews" is an interesting way of describing literal Nazis with '14 Words' as their flair talking about how the the Jews were the real villains of WWII.

And that literal nazi is being upvoted. R/ancrap is totes not a haven for neo-nazis.

Honestly, I only read the top couple, and still very terrible, sub-threads before posting this, so I didn't quite get to the all-out Naziness, just the part where the guy says "I'm not even sure if the guy is a Jew" while vaguely implying that Marxism is a Jewish racialist ideology.

But yeah, he's a literal Nazi who is actually upvoted by ancaps. I don't even know what to say to that. At least it helps to reduce the temptation to invest any effort in arguing with them.

There's a some sort of connection between fascist neoreactionary trash and anarcho-capitalism and I'm not sure where it comes from. My super cynical interpretation is that both ideologies appeal to people who want super edgy political views but lack the necessary empathy for left-anarchism or communism.

[–]The_Old_GentlemanSocial Justice Necromancer 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The connection is like, really old. In the late 70's the big names behind the Mises-Institute based right-libertarian movement began pandering to weird far-right groups like neo-confederates, Christian reconstruction, monarchists and more recently climate change denialists. I mean, just look at the "Notable Scholars" of the main hub of AnCap thought, we have:

  • Thomas DiLorenzo and Tom Woods, two neo-confederates known for the awful travesty of history they have published to support their ideology.
  • Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a homophobic and racist dude with "aristocratic" and monarchist sympathies.
  • Robert Murphy, a creationist who believes satanists have infiltrated the American government and who tried to 'disprove' David Graeber despite not even having read his book.
  • Gary North, a Christian fundamentalist, holocaust denier, former Y2K fear-monger and all around horrible person who believes that people who commit Old Testament sins should be stoned to death
  • Walter Block, aka the dude who thinks right-libertarians 'favor liberty' because they have an eugenic superiority to other people
  • Ron fuckin' Paul

The average person who begins to get into Mises Institute AnCap stuff usually isn't aware of all the shit that is behind it. Normally they are young, relatively privileged but sort of sheltered people who read some of their articles on economics and think they made sense, before being slowly sucked in by the rest of the whole package and BAM - you get neoreactionaries.

It seems perfectly logical to me. They are united in abhorrence of the possibility that the democratic state might be mobilized against coercion and domination in private society, such as the family and workplace. Libertarians talk around this issue by unsustainably redefining coercion to mean something like "failing to act in accordance with libertarian's cooked version of Natural Law" and neoreactionaries don't. But it's a continuous spectrum of disagreement along one particular dimension. The dork-enlightenment types are at the extreme, but you try drawing the line between them, Hans-Herman Hoppe and the neo-Confederate scum, and mainstream libertarianism. It doesn't exist.

[–]amartz 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Bingo. Both fascism and radical libertarianism protect those who have accumulated power against the masses. They rely on the tautology that the fortunate few deserve their power because the market/society has selected them.

Moderates understand that there is plenty good about liberty without giving it free reign.

What about left anarchism?

[–]DKLancer 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Left Anarchism is too busy arguing with itself over how to properly word its manifesto, or about whether they should even have a manifesto, or multiple manifestos, or perhaps they should adjourn for lunch

The Left Anarchism is too busy arguing with itself over how to properly word its manifesto, or about whether they should even have a manifesto, or multiple manifestos, or perhaps they should adjourn for lunch.

It seems the left in general enjoys attacking each other more than their real political adversaries on the right. God forbid we put our differences aside and vote for an actual leftist candidate and debate and table our smaller disagreements for another time.

On the other hand i don't think you will ever see social democrats and communists have lunch together so there is that.

[–]EvanHarper 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lunch breaks were instituted by 19th century factory owners as a means to rationalize production by regularizing their workers' eating habits. I absolutely refuse the introduction of such a retrograde step into our program and demand that our labours must continue.

At least it helps to reduce the temptation to invest any effort in arguing with them.

I used to argue with them a lot. It's a pointless waste of time, but it used to be sort-of-fun before the neoreactionary trend took over and made their sub hit absolute rock bottom. Now it's all just awful.

[–][deleted] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yup. It's actually tainted my view of reddit in general. I ended up unsubscribing because it's just too gross to watch anymore. That /u/lengthyounarther thread was actually the last straw for me and the neoreactionary stuff is just pathetic. (Though there is a certain morbid humor in AnCaps worrying about whether I'm Jewish or not)

Also, sorry for never responding to your PM. I've been overwhelmed with work and school. I'll get to it soon, I've just been burnt out for awhile.

[–]The_Old_GentlemanSocial Justice Necromancer 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've always hated Reddit as a whole and use it due to the lack of options, but never thought i'd ever see it get this bad. And even though there were always awful reactionaries among the AnCaps, i never thought i'd see literal neo-nazis feeling comfortable among them - i mean, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, David Friedman and Ayn Rand were all from jewish families, how does that shit make any fucking sense? I wonder how our nietzsche-worshipping buddy in there will react when he finds out that Nietzsche believed anti-semites should be shot.

And no worry about the PM, if there's something i can understand very well is being overwhelmed with work.

Also what the fuck, ex_logica the third seems to have gone completely bonkers now? In the beginning he was just terribly obnoxious but then and for a while I thought he was improving when he was going through his "intellectual" phase. I'm surprised. I mean wow, dude sounds like a /pol/itician now. He seems to have blazed off the deep end riding the neoreaction train. Are we sure he isn't trolling or something?

Couldn't help but read that bit in the SNL announcer guy's voice. Like "suspicious references to jews" is that week's celebrity guest.

I'm gonna pull choice quotes from this guy:

As a heterosexual, I'm sexually prejudiced.

The premise of the above is that patriarchy is natural; it's what both genders ultimately want. It's only a vocal minority that has a problem with it.

Most women want a dominant man; never let a feminist convince you otherwise or you'll end in a fate as psychologically deranged as them.

I'm anti-feminist precisely out of defense of women.

He's gotta be, what, 13, 14 tops?

Edit: Oh my god! Then this guy says,

now, let me direct you to some of my own drafted, unpublished work.

He uses himself as a source! His own unpublished, unfinished work as a source!

[–]reginhild 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh my. His unpublished work can't get more classic than this,

By studying the history of primitive man, when mankind was in a more natural stage of existence, we can learn some important, deep truths about ourselves

Also, he has Kaczynski covering "leftist psychology" and Tacitus covering "primitive society" in his reading list.

I wouldn't be surprised if anti-patriarchy happens at near the same rate as rape.

Gee, I don't understand why people don't subscribe to this lovely ideology.

"I wouldn't be surprised if anti-patriarchy happens at near the same rate as rape. By the way, why aren't there many women females who subscribe to Anarcho-Capitalism?"

"It's probably just too rational for women females."

There was a thread on there about a year ago wherein they discussed various strategies to trick women into subscribing to their ideology. It went pretty much exactly how you'd expect.

I was thinking of the second one. But that first one might actually be worse.

Edit: I mean the comments themselves aren't too bad, but that OP's post and comment history...

FYI, many mative American tribes were matrilineal or matriarchal for thousands of years. If you're interested, I suggest you read some of Robert Briffault's work

I think we need a thread just for that link in the OP. Goldberg claims finding any gender egalitarian society would falsify his hypothesis. According to the Leacock review linked in the Wikipedia article, he has to pull a sleight of hand where those societies can be ignored. TL;DR, those societies may exist but they don't count because they will inevitably be destroyed by patriarchal societies. Here is the passage:

Goldberg recognizes, however, that in societies like the Mbuti, role differentiation is minimal, perhaps the minimum allowable by biology he states. "The male advantage in biological aggression" is of little moment in such societies, he writes, because "status for the fittest is relatively unimportant when all must play the same economic role if the society is to survive" (p. 119). Since the emergence of Homo sapiens as a species took place under the same conditions, Goldberg's argument for adaptive differentiation is in trouble. However, his lack of any attention to historical or development problems (and ignorance, no doubt, of relevant anthropological materials), allows him to ignore the significance of the few peoples who maintained foraging-hunting lifeways into recent times. Their historical import to him is not the profound insight they afford into our human nature, but that they are doomed by their "inefficient" utilization of male aggression:

Where the Pygmy society minimizes the effect of the male advantage in biological aggression, the very nature of the modem, industrial society forces such a society to give aggression relatively free play ... Given the reality of an industrializing world, the lovely, gentle societies, such as that of the Pygmy, will not survive when challenged by societies whose methods of organization and whose methods of channeling aggression into efficient authority systems render them more efficient [p. 121; his italics].
