Re: The Neo-Right's take on Ligotti and True Detective

Yeah, I saw that yesterday without realizing that it was from a white supremacist mag. I was wondering why the author felt the need to describe the race of the detectives interviewing Marty and Rust.

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.”

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.

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.

Have you seen their Lovecraft award bust? It's hilariously ugly, and they don't even seem to realize this fact.

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.

Conceptually, yes, but imo even the tie looks like ####. I can barely tell those are suckers and not eyeballs.
