wrote a short introduction to a wider work on my predictions of the next 7y-Decade in the style of "Meltdown" by picrel
https://www.ccru.net/swarm1/1_melt.htm (OG text)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJktazdvHxE (good video for normies who need explaination)
please provide your thoughts, memes, insults, bait, ect. Im aiming for the genuinely catastrophic atmosphere i forsee will be happening at our new global epoch but try not to be too pseudo intellectual but also try not to dumb down what i really think

The story goes like this…
Visions of hyper-rationalised Artificial sociopaths are put out by a stream of blood flowing from sources who’s mundanity pales to the moralistic shock arising 45% from the horror but 55.5(recurring)% of such “anachronistic violence, reserved for the first world undeserving of a global recurrence” all the while such moral supremacy in the western world is split in twain as class warfare, the rouges gallery of Anarchists, Fascists, Social-Democrat-Communists, Pinkerton-ite Gangs and Military Officers overtaken by Caesar's spirit (if not competence) rip each other out their 100’year graves and gleefully, hatefully eradicate the power in any calls of “normality” once had as the civil-private society divide is captured in a bottle of the few elite cities able to preserve it, not able to understand for a stubborn-while they aren't bottlenecked from undoing the chaos but are now a muesuem of the 20th centuries puppet-pluralism (aka “Liberal Democracy”) and globalist networking while in the background the strangest of the fringe-est in every “nation” find innocent seeming isolated communities, towns, silos and farms and introduce them to their strange ultra-whatever beliefs as the antidote that will cure all good-folk, these colourful sort will probably be Pop-Accelerationists, Situationist Larpers, fanatical (barely) fundamentalist Monarchists and adventurous teens joining any radicals for a tubular time. Dust coating on posters warning of Malicious Software(&Hardware) is cleaned by the large inhales needed for hysterical screaming of 2,3 or maybe 6 generations raised on Web.2.0’s shambling corpse and the reflections in 3.0’s clown nose of big-tech’s libertarian-feudalism as cutting edge Language Models are ripped out of the market by a billionaire-political alliance putting it to work on converting salt-water to drinking water, how to bring back society back to the time kid’s needed to be taught about the birds & the bees, reviving both and what prices for the new water will CTRL Z extremism in society.

Fukuyama is not BTFO’d by the spontaneity of a Christianic-englightend working class or white nation but by total, global, meltdown. It is 1914 for Neoliberalism, and more disastrous is the death of capitalist realism. Horror in every inch, hole and room of this earth, in every nation, there is no escape or nation saving work that can be done (at least not now), all we can do is wait on the edge of our seats, and see which piston of the global economy will start the chain reaction. I for one, welcome our new apocalypse!

i wrote all of this in about 40 minutes but had the idea for it for 2 days and these predictions for about 5-ish months. biggest influences on my world view are
>Nietzsche
>Trotsky
>Alan Debenoist
>Mark Fisher
>Benjamin studebaker (MASSIVE FOR THIS WORK)
>Carl Schmitt
>"From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible again."

ill be reading all responses when i wake up, hope this wasnt sleep deprived nonsense. also for extra funny bone tickling, i actually made the OP image back

-this years april fools when the enforced LEET speak on /b/ was making posting very hard to read. sorry auto post was too fast on me. sleeping now

I'm sorry but it's garbage as a parody. Nick Land has a peculiar style but if you have read your Kant, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche it mostly makes sense - sometimes he uses colorful wording and weird metaphors, but that's it. He doesn't even sound apocalyptic or rightwing if you have studied some philosophy - but I can see why many people in their first year of uni or with no preparation at all would jump into this and feel like they're reading some eldritch text from the future. Land is a particularly gifted writer and a brilliant philosopher, but his brand of theory-fiction has been going on for a while in philosophy faculties - without jumping into french theorists, you have people like Timothy Morton or Donna Haraway in particular who have been doing very interesting things with language for a long time (Haraway's videos where she explains what she wants to do with "speculative fabulation" are a favourite of mine: they sort of justify the whole "writing weird philosophy" project as an aesthetic and academic position imo).
But your text seems like a poor attempt to imitate a jargon-heavy philosophy style while having no philosophical jargon at hand (likely because of poor or no philosophical reading), which is why you resort mostly to YouTube-debate-tier political wording, twitter and 4chan lingo, slang and so on - with the general result being not only that the whole text is absolutely shallow in its meaning since you are unable to refer to any depth of vocabulary or concepts (which could be condoned ina parody), but also that fails as a parody entirely in that it doesn't look or sound enough like the original to be recognizable - this, again, because you personally seem to have a very poor understanding of the original and its sources.
I suggest not posting here again for at least two years and reading some German and French philosophy before trying again.

Meltdown is laughably bad, I have no idea how anyone takes it seriously
>>
>>24936977
meltdown is like most of occultism (even tho anon would hate me making that comparison), if youre asking "is it real?" or whatever then you missing the point that 1. it's fun :) 2. it is like the deepest level of philosophy, which will puts your various skills and understandings of different fields to the test and is very rewarding if successful (usually just comprehending a text)
>>24936617
well, maybe not a parody I'm aiming for, I mostly just put that in the title so people would engage with the thread. Ive been enamoured with (pre 2016)Land's thought since I came across a proper introduction to his work with Michael Down's appearance on 1Dime Radio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aZn__odhRc) and more concepts and readings I've done in the past months like Shamonic Nietzsche or listening to him being interviewed by Theory Underground

>>24936617
but i will admit i didnt really aim towards making a philosophical work beyond it's being underneath the direct predictions of the future, but this is first and foremost my genuine, 100% view on what will happen in REAL LIFE in the next 6-7years to next decade. when Neoliberalism collapses Liberal Democracy is no longer able to defend itself with claims of "it jjst works!" yadayada we will see something like the chaos of the (ww1) postwar & interwar period but to such an extreme it'll be like comparing 6 fire crackers to a Nuclear Meltdown

>anachronistic violence, reserved for the first world undeserving of a global recurrence”
FUCK this is suppose to be "reserved for the THIRD world". my bad

So it's unintelligeable bullshit
>>
>>24937175
it's still a cluster of poorly expressed, poorly digested and poorly informed ideas, regardless of form
>>
Its clear

>>24938141
are you the same effort-posting anon? I intend this to be the hook that would encourage people to read on to my explanations how this future will come out but I probably should added more paragraphs.

my views are mainly informed by the Political writer Benjamin Studebaker. he states that Neoliberalism has effectively pile drived both marxian class consciousness and any effective working class organisation (right or left) so we have seen nothing beyond a few riots across the globe but no real effective political movements challenging Liberal Democracy, while it itself stagnates into the era of crisis we have now unable to resolve anything. in MY view it is pretty much inevitable that once the Socio-Political Ideology that props up Liberal Democracy collapses (throw a dart at whatever rotting institution or actor) and people start effectively organising, that we'll see something as chaotic and violent as the Interwar periods

>>24938141
also could you give examples or quotes on what you think is poorly expressed or digested (critism I have most issue understanding) since your original post was orientated around why it doesnt work as a Nick Land parody and now having deeper philosophical understanding (which is still pretty useful for me) rather than on issues with it's premises
sorry I didnt say this yesterday but I really do appreciate the input anon!

>>24936126
why? gpt can do thie and I don't have to care for that fake catholic..

your views are the learned opinions of other men who may be trying to deceive you. you need to start from definitions.
