Excuse me?
profoundly negrous
This motherfucker is so racist he invented a new term.
It’s 4chan speak, I’ve seen it before.
You need to hang out in better places.
It’s good to lurk and keep an eye on extremist spaces imho. Not good for the mental health, but helpful in intervening/deradicalizing teenagers following down those rabbit holes. Good to also prep counters and debunks to narratives before they take hold.
While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence.
Now I'm curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans. Funding sickle cell anemia research?
I think he is basically saying "I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it's #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black". In other words, racist bullshit
I don't think that's a neologism. It's just the adjective to 'negro'.
Basically he thinks billionaires are 'behaving black'.
Black people: "Why am I in this?"
At what point do we start tagging him with "racist sympathizer Peter Thiel"?
En masse, as soon as we can.
I find it funny how bad guys in fiction openly expresses that they’re in the dark side. That’s so comical it can’t happen in reality. Right?
Nah, this guy is embracing ”Dark Enlightenment” as his core philosophy.
You start out thinking that the fictional one-dimensional villains are realistic as a kid
Then you grow up and realize that they were just intentionally overdone hyperbole
Then you grow up even more and realize that the fictional one-dimensional villains are very real
The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.
That's it. That's the whole idea.
So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?
There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMLJh0SRz9o/ this is my favourite review of the latest Superman and I believe says it even more directly than the tweet
(I read the tweet)
Mother of God...
(I read his Wikipedia page)
Oh, this is actually mild by his standards, my goodness...
I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards episode on him
Can someone explain to me, a european, what nigger rich means?
Racist slur.
You know what... You run with that. I have no idea wtf it means, but if you stay pointed at the billionaires...
Well, a piece of shit launched at my enemy isn't my friend, but I'm not going to get in it's way either
he apparently has no problem with the billionaire part of their existence, so no. fuck him.
Don't interrupt your enemy's enemy dumbass
I'm not saying they're your friend, just don't interrupt the fight. Use it. Let them fight
Don't interrupt two enemies who are making a mistake, don't be a fucking idiot. Use the opportunity, win.
That's all that matters - win and never forget why you did it
How is it that the weirdest dudes keep ending up with so much power and influence. Like, this is just bigoted shit obviously, but it's weird bigoted shit. What is it about people that makes them look at a weirdo freak (derogatory) like this and think "this is a man I need to have direct the entirety of my belief system going forward"?
He is really fucking dumb, in addition to, being an absolute piece of shit.
Can we please go back to a time when psychos like this guy were largely irrelevant?
I hate the internet sometimes.
Did he elaborate further on what that means? Seriously, where's the original tweet? there's no way nobody ask this racist twat in replies to explain to layman non-philosophers like us what is n-word rich billionares, and what he sees as a problem with his best friends Peter Thiel and Elon Musk? does he mean they they are leeching lazy mutants on society? does he meam they exaggerate or waste their wealth where it should not go? Is he criticizing them or is he actually with classism and billionares but just wants them to get their act together and invest in better things? is that something of the billionare-class shortcomings or does he oppose America's form of capitilism which lead to their existence?
Hahaha, what the fuck does that even mean???? What a clown
From Meriam-Webster's entry on the word
Did the definition of n----r change?
There is a widespread belief that the original meaning of n----r, as defined in dictionaries, was "an ignorant person," and a related belief that current dictionary definitions describing its use as a hateful, racist epithet are a recent change. We do not know the source of those beliefs, but they are not accurate. The word was first included in a Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1864, at which time it was defined as a synonym of Negro, with a note indicating that it was used "in derision or depreciation." There has never been a definition like "an ignorant person" for this word in any subsequent dictionary published by this company. Nor do we know of such a definition in any earlier dictionary.
There's been an attempt among white racists over the years to try and redeem the hard-r N-word. They'll say that it originally meant just an ignorant or foolish person in general, not only black people specifically. But this is a historical fiction. It's always been used as a slur against black people. It was originally a complete synonym for "negro." If you asked Yarvin, and he didn't just admit outright to being a flaming racist, he would likely justify it by making a claim like this. He would claim that he's saying these billionaires are just corrupt and foolish. He would say that it's OK to use the word, as he's not referring to black people, just ignorant and lazy people in general. He would say he's using the non-racist definition of the n-word. But again, this is a historical fiction.
Sometimes racists will cite words like "niggardly", meaning cheap or stingy, as an example of how the n-word could be used in ways not applying just to black people. Niggardly is a word that sounds like the n-word but actually does have a non-racist history. They'll try to link niggardly to the hard-r n-word. But what they ignore is that the word niggardly has a completely different etymological root. Niggardly shares roots with words like niggling, tracing back to the 13th century nig, meaning simply a stingy person. The n-word however, as Meriam-Webster notes, derives directly from the Spanish negro.. Racists will connect the n-word to words like niggardly, niggling, etc., citing their real history as non-racist words, and say that the n-word can also be used non-offensively because of this. But there is no common etymological root between the hard-r n-word and similar sounding words that do actually have a non-racist history.
Of course, it's all ultimately a moot point. In polite society today, most people understandably avoid using any word that remotely sounds like the n-word. See controversies around the word niggardly. And really, there's little reason to use words like niggardly, even if one could argue that they're technically not racist. They just sound way too similar, and there's plenty of other perfectly valid words to use in their place. And ultimately, someone could just as easily be hurt or offended by words that sound similar to the n-word even if they're technically not directly related. The words are best avoided, as they just end up hurting people for no good reason, even if some etymologist might argue they're not directly related.
It's a racist asshole thing. You wouldn't understand.
Ok, i reconstruct the slur in my mind and...what the fuck is that even mean? It sounds like another one of those word salad by intoxicated individual that mean absolutely nothing but also trying to be profoundly racist.
What the...?
Now you, too, know about Curtis Yarvin. You thought Jordan Peterson was bad? Welcome to the club.
And people think I'm exaggerating or polarising when I call Peter Thiel a neoliberal fascist.
edit: it seems some people don't understand that Neoliberalism and Fascism do, in fact, go together very well. And that the fascism we're all facing now does not look the same as 90 years ago.
You thought Jordan Peterson was bad?
They're interchangeable. Curtis is more crass and online, while JBP uses academic speak and muppet tears to sound more Canadian. But their beliefs are fundamentally no different.
There is no mask when you're already 'Peter Thiel's bestie'
The appropriate words to put in there are Nigglers. Cause they are all niggler-rich. They niggle away at us: pay me for this pay me for that. They didn't do any work or produce anything but a stranglehold on their workers (niggling away their/your hours for niggled pay).
Lynch the Nigglers. Billionaires & corporations. Lynch em all.
I’m middle aged now, but I have to admit, while I’ve always known there was racism still around, and still part of the government. I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is. The kind of people in charge right now are literal cartoon villains when I was a kid.
I mean that literally.
Am I the only one reading n---ers as nooners?
Negrous
Motherfucker out here just making up entirely new racial slurs.
peter thiels bestie, was allegedly defenestrated last year, his boytoy , not his husband. also the fact the p2025 and heritage foundation is funded by thiel himself, but the endgame doesnt include "people" like THIEL in thier society.
thiel likes to do things behind the scenes, so he avoids any responsibilities, plus hes gay so he would face much resistance in his policies if he was up and front, like the log cabin people.
Our problem is niner billionaires?
Or is he referring to black people while being a giant dildo?
If so, I have a serious question? How many black people out there are billionaires? Seriously, of all billionaires in the world, how many are black? I mean, I'm sure there are some but I have never heard of them.
of all problems with billionaires, skin color seriously seriously is the least.
Yarvin and Thiel scare me...
Here's some of Yarvin's writings, if you want to feel like disappearing into the woods, getting on a rocket, and blasting off as far, far away from this planet as possible:
precedent should be rolled back to 1900 at the latest, and probably more like 1800. The democratic era has corrupted everything, law being no exception.
One way to see internal security in a Patchwork realm is as a compromise between two sorts of Orwellianism. In the sense that the realm is (effectively) omniscient and omnipotent, it would fit most peoples’ definition of “Orwellian.”
Residents of a Patchwork realm have no security or privacy against the realm.
All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both. Residents cannot use this data to snoop into each others’ lives, but Friscorp can use it to monitor society at an almost arbitrarily detailed level.
There is one problem, though, which is ... the problem of adults who are not productive members of society. In our little Newspeak we call them wards of the realm.
As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.
Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.
However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.
The best humane alternative to genocide I can think of is not to liquidate the wards—either metaphorically or literally—but to virtualize them. A virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement, waxed like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies. This would drive him insane, except that the cell contains an immersive virtual-reality interface which allows him to experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.6
The virtual worlds of today are already exciting enough to distract many away from their real lives. They will only get better. Nor is productive employment precluded in this scenario—for example, wards can perform manual labor through telepresence. As members of society, however, they might as well not exist. And because cells are sealed and need no guards, virtualization should be much cheaper than present-day imprisonment.
Many other regions of the earth, however, contain large numbers of human beings whose existence may well prove an unequivocal liability to the owners of any ground on which they would reside. If so, they can be virtualized, creating giant human Wachowski honeycombs of former bezonians, whose shantytowns can be cleared and redeveloped as villas for retired oil-company executives.
Teehee just kidding about my proposal to turn humans into petroleum... unless?
