My post about Heartiste and the sour slut grapes the other day inspired the following highly ironic series of Tweets from Mr. H and one of his fans.
I am overwhelmed by the intellectual firepower on display in these Tweets!
RedPillPhill has offered other highly erudite critiques of my writing in the past.
Cathedral apologists like @DavidFutrelle and @devincf are running scared. Their output is reaching fevered pitch and a screechy womanly tone

.@DavidFutrelle pointing and sputtering doesn't stop what's true from being true, even if it does hurt your tender leftist equalist feelings

@Aurini @DavidFutrelle @heartiste @Steve_Sailer @ChuckGLP @voxday those like manboobz are the real racists and misogynists

Hmm. This last one seems debatable, given that RedPillPhil is a Dark Enlightenment “race realist” who recently retweeted this lovely cartoon:

Apparently posting racist cartoons and calling me a womanly panty-sniffer is how Phil plans to win the war. What war? THE CULTURE WAR.
Stop just reading information and mentally masturbating. Take action. THIS IS A CULTURE WAR.

Is the Dark Enlightenment called the Dark Enlightenment because everyone involved in it has their head permanently up their own ass?
What’s a cathedral apologist? Also, PUA dudes, just for the record, “have you ever talked to a cute girl” ceases to be an appropriate question once you hit about 12 years old, 13 or 14 tops. From one adult man to another it’s just sad.
Just another DE term for their (perceived or real) detractors.
If this is a culture war, when you have the people who build cathedrals (and the space program and modern medicine and electricity and the Internet…) on one side, and people who think the entire enlightenment is dumb “equalist” propaganda, it’s pretty obvious which side is going to win.
Us, on account of our pernicious unwillingness to accept that “Progressivism” and “Equality” and “Democracy” are nothing but terrible delusions.
Every time I see the types of people that use “progressive” as a pejorative, I feel so validated about my life choices.
Heartiste thinks that he is an intellectual.
No, wait. Heartiste thinks he is an intellectual.
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
Heartiste is an example of what happens when someone’s too egotistical to accept and use negative feedback, then add 20 or so adult years.
He’s apparently able to sell his harmful and misogynistic crap to those even more deluded than himself, though. He makes himself money this way. He creates little woman-hating, abusive clones of himself, making the lives of women worse, AND making the lives of those who put his advice into practice worse.
What a fucking peach.
Life becomes so much easier when you don’t mind screwing over anybody and everybody you come into contact with, doesn’t it?
Being hated by a scumfuck’s probably a good thing.
*spit take*

Two letters changed.
Let’s see:
There’s the standard ‘Fartiste’
Hairtease – for fans of Hairspray
Bartbeast – for fans of the Simpsons
Dartleast – cuz he sucks at darts? (I admit it, I can’t think of a funny here)
There’s also the subtle “Fartiest,” which works better when written.
True. The original fascists were far better organized, for one thing.
So the Dark Enlightenment is pretty much a bunch of pretentious assholes coming up with some pseudo-intellectual bullshit rationalising their racism, sexism, contempt for anybody not exactly like them, and reinforcing their beliefs that they are the chosen few who can see the dawning of a new era in which they will be the newly worshipped deities?
This story is so old it may as well be written on vellum. It’s just been given a new twist by the fusion of several aggrieved philosophies into one big ball of Everyone Is Blind And Brainwashed By The Conspiracy Except Us. It’s the Protocols of Zion. It’s The Myth of Male Power. It’s every whining teenage tantrum about how it’s not faaaaaaaaair I don’t get everything I want but Nikki’s mom lets her wear makeup and Josh’s dad lets him have the car and OMG I hate you you’ve ruined my life! … projected onto anybody the author feels is inferior to them.
And they wonder why we laugh at them.
That is what I was thinking too, a fresh new hellish reinvention of the John Birch Society.
After the mention of the RC church above, I can’t help but see all of them as Ignatius Riley from A confederacy of dunces. It’s essentially the same ideology, just with internet access.
My personal favourite part (read: part that makes me want to claw my brain out) of the DE concept is the wonderful solipsist loop created by the rejection of “democracy” as a concept in and of itself – thus no matter how many people tell you that you’re being an ass, or how many laws are passed forcing you to treat other people like people, or how much representation there is in the government, these asshats can write it all off as “the hive” and don’t have to acknowledge that most people don’t agree with their nihilistic bullshit.
The fingerprints of this mentality are all over things like GamerGate.

You forgot “who are already institutionally privileged”.

Yup – there’s an amazing amount of arguments made over the centuries providing intellectual, moral or religious justifications for why people with power that is being threatened deserve to keep it. In this case, it’s the unearned privilege of being a white English-speaking male (and I speak as a member of that group).
The Dark enlightenment clowns are only self aware enough to realize that calling themselves fascists would drive people away but not enough to realize the phrase “dark enlightenment” sounds really stupid
Also “virtuous mission” is a reference to metal gear solid 3. Said mission FAILED in that game.
I’m not sure why you’d want to advertise the fact that you’re the people who create nothing. Is their slogan going to be “We’re here, we’re useless, get used to it”?
“Everything for me, and nothing for thee!” and the rationalizations thereof.
I am just popping by to share this shocking turd of soft-MRA journalism in TIME magazine… has anyone seen this yet? “NO FEMINISM UNTIL YOU SOLVE MAN PROBLEMS TOO”
http://time.com/3432838/emma-watson-feminism-men-women/
This is a reality TV show I would totally watch.
Re: the Time Article
‘Tis a crock of shit, and verily! it stinketh…
“I am just popping by to share this shocking turd of soft-MRA journalism in TIME magazine… has anyone seen this yet?”
“Cathy Young is a contributing editor at Reason magazine.”
Fun fact: Reason is a right-wing Libertarian magazine/site that’s most well-known for actively denying the Holocaust since the ’70s.
If you shot it in a really big bachelor-pad style house…I could see this working.
Davis Aurini needs to be one of the housemates. No voting out of the house, though, or games, or anything.
Just watching the dysfunction spiraling out of control and documenting same.
They DO need some Nat-Geo style narrator talking, though, in a very hyperbolic fashion.
