  • Not even slightly, but I don’t particularly feel like going on about how no human creation is truly original, waxing interminable over the distinction between symbols and concepts or, you know, defending a nazi right now.

    But in a way, we kinda have to. I mean, are the nazis today the same as the nazis which started this movement or are they a separate entity and should be treated as such? Are all the nazi groups today are their own inventions and should they be granted the so-called ‘honour’ of having invented their particular brand of ‘doppelnazism’? Or should we reserve that for when one particular branch starts calling itself something else and only looks to have been inspired by nazism, but is something else entirely?

    Yeah, history is a continuous chain reaction. And the problem with fixating on specific points as the start of something has the disadvantages of ignoring everything which lead up to it and disagreeing on which point to put an end to it.

    With your point of view, nazism ended with the second world war and what we suffer now is something different. A new invention as you say.

    With my point of view, the dude didn’t invent shit and just stole what was already there and now we’re dealing with more of the same, the major difference being there’s no new brand of terror to set them apart visibly.


  • I have really bad news if you think this wasn’t exactly what happened when they wrote the bible…

    If you’re agreeing he didn’t invent shit, I’d recommend amending your comment saying that he didn’t. No need to add legitimacy where there isn’t any. No pressure though.

    As for gog, the deed is done and out in the world. Whatever they do from here on out, it will be with this burden attached.












  • Might seem generic, so feel free to reject or criticize my opinion.

    You do something. Carpentry, pottery, gardening, birdwatching, jogging in the park, fishing, fix electronics etc and so on. If it’s something you like or think you could do it, start doing it.

    And then you ask questions when you’re stumped, you help others when they’re stuck and you trade barbs about it with one another. The point is that you don’t go out seeking connections, but you go out because what you do finds connections for you.

    So find something you like doing. I can assure you there are others who like doing that as well. You’ll have something in common. And that’s the start of your connections.
