>>542031838LolMake meFrankincenseMyrrhThe Japanese term you’re probably looking for is ひきこもり (hikikomori).Literally, it comes from 引きこもる (hikikomoru), “to withdraw inward,” “to shut oneself away,” or “to stay inside.” Hikikomori has become an internationally recognizable term for a person who withdraws from school, work, and much of social life for an extended period. But there’s an important distinction: in Japanese discourse it generally describes severe/prolonged social withdrawal, not merely someone who likes solitude or lives as a recluse.There are also older, less clinical terms:• 隠遁 (inton) — withdrawal from worldly life; reclusion, often with a literary/religious/philosophical flavor.• 隠者 (inja) — hermit/recluse.• 世捨て人 (yoste-bito) — literally something like “a person who has abandoned the world”; a more dramatic/literary notion of renunciation.• 引きこもり (hikikomori) — modern social withdrawal, generally carrying a much more pathological/social-problem connotation.In fact, the hostility we can experience toward our withdrawal from this diseased society is, in fact, a pertinent feature of competitive societies themselves. The need to punish as a function of the totem pole social hierarchy.
>>542032005Why does being alone seem to offend people?Because a highly competitive society doesn't merely need you to produce. It needs you to participate in the competition. Win or lose. And it needs the "losers" to remain in the limelight as whipping boys, as bad examples that suffer continually and this give legitimacy to the competitive system. "This is what happens to those who don't play the game!" To make "winners" feel that their own sacrificed life has been well invested. "At least that's not me!"Someone who says:>I don't want to compete. I want a small room, enough food, some books, music, and nobody bothering me.has done something ideologically inconvenient.They haven't necessarily defeated the system. They haven't even necessarily rebelled against it.They've declined its invitation.And that can be more irritating than opposition.A dissident can be incorporated into the system as an opponent: political activist, entrepreneur, artist, intellectual, revolutionary, etc. Those are all recognizable social roles. But the person who says “No, I would actually prefer to be alone” is difficult to turn into a productive participant (or marketable commodity).& There's an even deeper problem: solitude exposes how much of “social necessity” is actually social pressure.If everyone is working 50 hours a week, competing for status, optimizing their appearance, networking, maintaining an online presence, buying things, dating, advertising themselves, and anxiously monitoring everyone else, then the person sitting alone reading Victor Hugo can look almost subversive—not because he's attacking anyone, but because he's demonstrating that another allocation of human attention is possible.Another lifestyle is possible. And if enough people do it...Another world.And competition produces a peculiar contradiction:The society says:“Be weird.”But simultaneously:"Only within this narrow bandwidth."It sez:"Be yourself."But also:“Make yourself competitive.”
>>542031838So you are permitted individuality so long as your individuality can be converted into something socially legible:unique interesting marketable employable desirable successful.Solitude doesn't necessarily produce any of those things.The focus is always outward.Perform for the common good. Buy what if you think the common good editor be fit each and every individual to teach their highest calling? Human potential movement, Maslow, Logotherapy, Existentialism, etc. But solitude doesn't increase GDP.& Neither does otium—doing something because you have time to do it rather than because it generates an externally measurable return.That's why the old distinction between otium and negotium is so useful here. Otium isn't simply “doing nothing.” It historically encompasses contemplation, reading, conversation, study, artistic activity, wandering, thinking—activities undertaken outside the demands of commerce and public obligation.A society organized around negotium can start treating otium as suspicious.Japan makes this particularly visibleJapan didn't invent social withdrawal. European literature is absolutely full of hermits, monks, misanthropes, aristocratic recluses, solitary intellectuals, aesthetes, and people who simply disappear from ordinary society.But modern Japan gave the phenomenon a particularly striking name because the collision between extreme social expectations and withdrawal became impossible to ignore.And there is an interesting irony in the word hikikomori: the person has “drawn inward.”Not necessarily outwardly attacked society.Not necessarily conquered it.Simply ceased supplying himself to it.
>>542031838Such my diiicckklThat's why I think the broader phenomenon is bigger than hikikomori. A person can be socially functional while psychologically becoming something like a voluntary recluse: reducing or eliminating obligations, possessions, networking, social media, career ambition, public visibility, etc., and constructing a private territory in which his attention belongs to him.And that has a very long history.The monk in his cell, the aristocrat disappearing into his country estate, the Romantic wanderer, the flâneur, the hermit, the decadent aesthete, the eccentric scholar, the cabin-dweller, the punk squatting in an abandoned building—all of them represent different versions of the same basic proposition:“My life does not have to be available to the world.”That's a surprisingly radical proposition in a society whose greatest scarce resource is increasingly your attention...See also:Commodify Your Dissent, Thomas Frank article.

>>542031838Fuiuuuuuuccckkk yooouuuuuuuuuPowerless to stop me, who is the bitch now?? LolololRebellion becomes a style, alienation becomes a marketing demographic, anti-establishment attitudes become things you can buy.And that creates an interesting distinction with the recluse:• Dissenter: “Your society is fucked.”• Countercultural consumer: “Your society is fucked—and I'll buy the T-shirt.”• Entrepreneurial dissenter: “Your society is fucked. Here's my $299 course on escaping it.”• Hikikomori/recluse: “Whatever. I'm staying in my room.”That last one is strangely difficult to commodify if it is genuinely accompanied by withdrawal from consumption and status competition.Of course, capitalism has gotten pretty good at commodifying even withdrawal: gaming setups, streaming subscriptions, “cozy” rooms, minimalist aesthetics, wellness retreats, van life, cottagecore, anti-work books, etc. The system can eventually say:You don't need to leave society! You can purchase an aesthetically pleasing version of rejecting society.Which is very Frank.And there's an even nastier version of it: “Be authentic.”Because once authenticity becomes a social requirement, you have to perform your authenticity. Your rebellion needs an audience. Your nonconformity needs an Instagram. Your refusal of consumerism needs the right $180 jacket.
>>542031838LololoEAT MY SHIT, NIGGGERRRRThat's why genuine withdrawal can seem almost more threatening than conventional political rebellion. The rebel still cares about the social arena enough to fight in it.The recluse says: I don't want the arena.I don't owe you anything. At all. But you owe me something. So repay me, now.And that connects beautifully with our earlier interest in otium vs. negotium. Otium represents a space where one's attention isn't immediately being converted into economic or social value. In that sense, protecting a little territory of uselessness may be a more radical act than buying an enormous amount of countercultural stuff.Frank's essay is basically asking: What happens when capitalism learns to sell you your rebellion?The recluse asks the more annoying question:What if I don't buy the rebellion—or participate in the market for rebellion—at all?

What you perceive as redpill is nothing but what the masses of propagandists have shoved down your throat repeatedly. Your inherent instinct to recognize their evil and ignore it, the feeling you call "bluepill", is your brain seeing things for what they truly are. And how things are most of the time boringly exactly as they seem. The ones that seem evil are evil, no matter how much they repeat their lies. The ones that are good will not force their view, as it is inherent that the truth will eventually surface.
>>542031838Suck it. Suck the entire thing. Pay extra attention to my balls, you stupid fucking NIGGER.

I took a step back and made some more objective looks at the mass of pointless social "rules" that we all follow.And just how much of it is just so wasteful in terms of both time and resources. And how much is done in this made-up social game of showing off purely to show off how well you're doing in the made-up game of showing off. It's a self sustaining loop of wasteful behaviour.Takes some time to adjust against the instinctual need to fit in and follow the rules.But fuck 'em.

Hugo — Les Misérables itself, to close the loop — the one write-up in this pile that still believes something's worth saving, which after 49 volumes of contempt might land as the most radical book on the shelf.The organizing bet is Hugo's own move in that passage: contempt for opportunists who only turn on power once it's safe, and just as much contempt for crowds who worship success and abandon the fallen. Montaigne and La Rochefoucauld give you the aphoristic bitterness in small doses; Tacitus and Machiavelli show you power with the sentiment scraped off; Twain and Ibsen skewer the mob directly; and the run from Kafka to Céline is where bitterness curdles into something closer to despair — worth having on the shelf precisely because Hugo, unlike them, refuses to stop there.NAPOLEON Comprehensive biographiesNapoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts — probably the best single-volume biography; sympathetic but not uncritical, drawing on newly available lettersNapoleon: A Political Life by Steven Englund — more focused on his political maneuvering and legacy

And if the specific thing you're chasing is Decoder rather than merely “weird 1980s films,” there is a very particular little underground lineage: punk/industrial musicians + non-actors + avant-garde cameos + degraded analog/video imagery + documentary footage + narrative barely holding the thing together.I’d go after these first:The REALLY close ones1. 2. Johnny Yesno (1980) — Peter CareCabaret Voltaire as a soundtrack to a film noir.This is almost absurdly appropriate to what you're describing: industrial/electronic music isn't decoration; the film is essentially built around it. It's much more obscure than the obvious Videodrome/Tetsuo/Liquid Sky recommendations.3. The Blank Generation (1976) — Ivan Kral / Amos PoeTechnically too early, but absolutely investigate it. Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Television, Blondie, Talking Heads, Ramones, etc. It's raw black-and-white Super 8/16mm documentation of the CBGBs scene.It's basically the prehistory of the exact aesthetic you're describing.───
>>542031838Stuck stuck stuckLike aPig Pig Pig.More bizarre / degraded / “what the fuck am I watching?”4. Vortex (1982) — Scott MansfieldThis one deserves special attention. Experimental New York punk/no-wave film, heavily atmospheric, strange editing, electronic soundtrack, and a cast drawn from the downtown art/music world.If Decoder feels like industrial Germany dreaming about authoritarianism, Vortex feels like New York's No Wave scene dreaming about itself.https://vimeo.com/7290177035. Born in Flames (1983) — Lizzie BordenNot primarily a music film, but very much in the same cultural universe. Documentary-style footage, fake TV broadcasts, amateur/nonprofessional performers, punk musicians, pirate radio, surveillance, political agitation and deliberately unstable boundaries between fiction and documentary.And the music is central: The Red Krayola, Art & Language, The Bloods, The Flying Lizards, etc.6. Smithereens (1982) — Susan SeidelmanLess experimental, but extremely good if what you want is early-80s downtown NYC as an actual artifact. Richard Hell is in it, and the whole thing has that grimy post-punk/No Wave milieu.───The Japanese branch7. Burst City (1982) — Sōgo IshiiThis is probably the most important recommendation after Downtown 81.Japanese punk bands, explosions, motorcycles, industrial wasteland, screaming, handheld camera, almost nonexistent conventional plot, and a cast consisting heavily of actual musicians.The film basically says: what if a punk concert became a dystopian action movie?And it's considerably more aggressive and chaotic than Decoder.8. Crazy Thunder Road (1980) — Sōgo IshiiEarlier Ishii, and arguably even more primitive/raw. Punk bikers, wasteland, noise, violence, weird editing.If Decoder's industrial aesthetic appeals to you more than its political ideas, Ishii is essential.
>>542031838SUCK THE FARTS OUT OF THE ASSHOLE OF A DEAD NIGGER.LOL9. 964 Pinocchio (1991) — Shozin FukuiToo late for your 80s criterion, but I'm mentioning it because it's basically the nightmare descendant of this whole tradition: degraded video, industrial noise, cyberpunk, bodily horror, screaming, incoherence, and visual assault.───Britain: the weird art-school/music-video end10. The Last of England (1987) — Derek JarmanYou've probably heard of this, but if you haven't seen it, this is exactly the direction to go.Super-8/video degradation, documentary-looking material, staged apocalypse, punk aesthetics, historical footage, screaming, music, theatricality. Not a conventional movie whatsoever.And there's a particularly interesting connection to Decoder: Jarman actually filmed material connected to the Burroughs scene that appears in Decoder, so these films genuinely overlap culturally rather than merely resembling one another. 11. Aria (1987)An anthology where different directors make films around opera arias. Sounds unrelated, but several segments are astonishingly 80s, music-video-like, surreal and decadent. The kind of thing where recognizable actors suddenly appear in bizarre miniature worlds.12. The Comic Strip Presents... / The Supergrass / Bad NewsNot really the same genre, but if your favorite part is “why the hell is THAT musician/artist in this?”, British alternative cinema/TV of this period becomes a rabbit hole.───
>>542031838YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKIN CUM GARGLING DICK NOSED SHIT MUCHING COCKSUCKER, FUUUCCCKKK YOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAnd then there's the American videotape undergroundThis is where I'd dig if by “videotape degradation” you mean actual ugly analog-video aesthetics, rather than merely films that happen to contain video.13. The Video Dead (1987)Much more horror/B-movie, but it has that VHS-as-medium-as-subject quality.14. Twisted Issues (1988)This is really obscure. Charles Pinion's underground video-era film, made in the world of cheap VHS, punk/underground culture and deliberately trashy imagery. It was actually named by Film Threat Video Guide among its 25 Must-See Underground Movies of the 1980s. 15. Born to Win / Liquid Sky / Vortex / Decoder — treat these as a little constellation*You've probably seen some of these already, but they're worth considering together rather than as isolated “weird movies.” They're all manifestations of that brief period when No Wave, industrial music, performance art, cheap video, fashion, cyberpunk and underground cinema hadn't yet separated into distinct genres.───One I especially think you should hunt down** Doomed Love (1983), Andrew Horn.**Bill Rice—the strange, almost alien-looking protagonist of Decoder—is in it. And this is another Andrew Horn / downtown avant-garde / nontraditional performer artifact. Horn was deeply connected to the same New York experimental world.
>>542031838AAAAHAHAHAHSHAAAAFUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUULOLAnd here's the rabbit hole I think you'll enjoy:Bill Rice Decoder Andrew Horn New York avant-garde Genesis P-Orridge Peter Christopherson Derek Jarman Cabaret Voltaire No Wave Sōgo IshiiThat's much closer to the trail you're actually looking for than generic lists of “80s cult films.”Also, Decoder itself is unusually extreme even among these: scholarship specifically identifies its cult status among industrial/noise fans because of the combination of FM Einheit, Christiane F., Genesis P-Orridge and Burroughs, and notes that its experimental form is integral to the film rather than incidental. If you want the really deep-cut version, I can give you ~20 films that are specifically “Decoder-like and obscure enough that you've probably never heard of them”—including obscure European VHS films, industrial music films, No Wave movies, and stuff made by/with actual musicians.
