Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Otherwise, the article itself had some good points but inexplicably falls apart and undercuts its own arguments in the final paragraph. | |||||||||||
"Thomas Ligotti is a master of a different order, practically a different species. He probably couldn’t fake it if he tried, and he never tries. He writes like horror incarnate.”
—Terrence Rafferty, New York Times Book Review

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
If you ever need a good laugh, just read the descriptions of some of that publisher's books. A few of them try so hard to sound as ultra-masculine and he-man as possible that it just comes off as really, really gay. I'm thinking in particular of any of the Jack Donovan titles.

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Oh, wow. I was expecting some sort of slightly goofy libertarian site – not white supremacists.

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
The site's still goofy, though. Their essay on AC/DC's music as designed to "whip up whites for war and male fertility" is still one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've read (Christopher Donovan on Heavy Metal | Counter-Currents Publishing). It's relatively hard to take serious, even if the people involved mean it seriously.

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
"Here I was, in the thick of thousands of whites, all communing, if you will, around what was essentially a pagan convergence. The same folks who heaped hatred on Sarah Palin could not have been much more comfortable with this panorama: a sea of white males all thrusting their fists in the air and yelling “oi!”, and the occasional buxom white woman — probably a non-feminist — gyrating with glee."
Most hilarious quote of the article. It's like an edgy Varg Vikernes YouTube rant. |

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Have you seen their Lovecraft award bust? It's hilariously ugly, and they don't even seem to realize this fact.

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Lovecraft doesn't seem very photogenic as a model for busts, it seems.
And their criteria to win this award is nonsensical. It basically amounts to "SJ(e)Ws killing muh white race" |

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Well, at least his tie is kinda cool.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective
Conceptually, yes, but imo even the tie looks like ####. I can barely tell those are suckers and not eyeballs.
