One of my favorite targets is the pseudo-intellectual poser. This creature of the Left has been with us since the darkness descended on the West. They are are always folks who have ambition, but not much talent. That results in memorizing the liberal nostrums and then repeating them with an air of wearied resignation. They cultivate a certain look and a range of little outfits to identify themselves. Dandyism, it seems, will always be with us. One such example is Jamie Bartlett, who is a blogger at the Telegraph. The precious little baby has himself worked up over those of us on the Dissident Right.

Since 2012 a sophisticated but bizarre online neo-fascist movement has been growing fast. It’s called “The Dark Enlightenment”. Its modus operandi is well suited to a digital society. Supporters are dotted all over the world, connected via a handful of blogs and chat rooms. Its adherents are clever, angry white men patiently awaiting the collapse of civilisation, and a return to some kind of futuristic, ethno-centric feudalism.

It started, suitably enough, with two blogs. Mencius Moldbug, a prolific blogger and computer whizz from San Francisco, and Nick Land, an eccentric British philosopher (previously co-founder of Warwick University’s Cybernetic Culture Research Unit) who in 2012 wrote the eponymous “The Dark Enlightenment”, as a series of posts on his site. You can find them all here. 

HBDChick does an excellent job taking the guy apart. The mere fact that the guy works for a Marxist front group disqualifies him from serious company. But, it explains the liberal use of the word “fascist” in his rants. Marxism, like all groups on the Left needs bogeymen. The Marxists call their bogeymen fascists, which is a catch-all phrase for the undifferentiated other they fear is on the other side of the door, ready to burst in and snatch them away. It says something about the world when it is OK to be a Marxist, despite the fact that cult has murdered about 100 million people worldwide.

From his blog, it appears he is writing a book about witch hunting, I mean the dark forces he and his pansy army are fighting against on-line. It seems the modern dandy is always bravely writing hotly worded letters to the evil doers of the world. of course, those letter never get delivered. Instead they end up on blogs at the Telegraph or the Times. The evil doers are never actually evil or capable of doing anything other than holding an opinion different from those in the cult of modern liberalism. The real bad asses never have to worry about a discouraging word from the Dandy. That why the Left has been such a potent killing machine.
