Is he any less retarded than Zizek? At least Slavoj is somewhat cogent when you talk to him about philosophy. Yeah Nick is a racist and a transphobe but most leftists are racists. Just more dishonest about it than the right and we have our fair share of trans bashers too. Trans fetishizing is about as bad as hating them. I mean fetishize in a political sense not sex. If your turned on by trans girls good for you. I jerk to em too.
>>1831653Jesus…. did he actually write that? That's fucking lame. He regularly posts about himself on 4chan I've heard. Lame. He should drop a cinder block on his head.
>>1831669Ehh… some of his early essays were good but he was basically a Deleuze fanboy larping as le ebin hacker cyberpunk and his philosophical ideas have more holes in them than Spongebob. Just read some of his writing. Break down a random paragraph, parse the grammar, look at the words one by one, and that's when you realize 98% of the time its complete garbage. He appeals to edgy retards who are turned on by the idea of the world ending because they've got nothing better to look forward to.

Nick Land demonstrates that the history of liberal capitalist philosophy is just philosophers attempting to create more and more esoteric ways to rationalize bourgeois accumulation. Its like how every Super Bowl they have to come up with a new musical act that is more crazy and big brained than the last one.

Before that dark enlightenment stuff he was pretty good but after that naaah. Dark Enlightenment seems cool and edgy to most of the people who never lived in a opressive theocratic regime but I lived most of my life in TurKKKey and it was the best example of how fucked the dark enligtenment is. Everything is ruled corporate style, lots of bribery, government only cares about profit, corrupt police, high tech low life etc. It is all fun and games until you live that life in real life

He was interesting back when I was in my 20s.

”The proletariat, on the contrary, is compelled as proletariat to abolish itself and thereby its opposite, private property, which determines its existence, and which makes it proletariat. It is the negative side of the antithesis, its restlessness within its very self, dissolved and self-dissolving private property. Within this antithesis the private property-owner is therefore the conservative side, the proletarian the destructive side. From the former arises the action of preserving the antithesis, from the latter the action of annihilating it.” - Marx, The Holy Family.
