How do I cope with not being a man like this?
I think the effortless joy of being beautiful must be one of the best things in life.

Apparently, I ain't bad enough to be read and become the target of ridicule.

After spending more time than I would have liked studying the tracts of Nick Land and Moldbug, as well as their respective Twitter shitposts, I have come to the conclusion that they're both fucking idiots and that everyone who buys into them is also a fucking idiot. Aside from the general untenebility of their moronic cyberpunk utopia, their positions are contradictory and often self-refuting.

>"exit is the only universal human right" vs their opposition to every rebellion in history
>their claim that the west is run by socialists vs the cold war existing
>their claim that a corporation would be superior to a government because it would care about profit vs their claim that "the cathedral" is profitable
>their confucianism fetish vs their "muh freedoms" fetish
>their "muh freedoms" fetish vs their "muh law and order police states are the best" fetish
>their hatred of immigrants vs their defense of the confederacy and colonialism
>their denial of climate change vs their claims that unrestricted corporatism would solve all environmental issues
>their smug "cthulhu swims left" truism vs their throwing a bitch fit when conservatives lose elections
>their support for Israel vs their beliefs that democracy is always wrong
>their fetish for transhumanism vs their hate for trannies
>their fetish for transhumanism vs their insistence on the importance of racial IQ
>the fact that woke capitalism exists at all

In conclusion, fuck everyone on this board for wasting my time with these brainlets. This shit is just paleoconservatism for edgelords.
