‘The posts are long winded and plaintive, as if they were written by men on death row’

March 11, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

Ah, yes, the “typing with a quill pen” men…

Some complaints about the commenters at Taki’s Dark Enlightenment bores, with whom I otherwise have a great deal in common:

There’s an age thing here as well. I’ve always got the sense that Mencius Moldbug and Nick Land spend way too much time working on their Frodo costumes. It is not that they wish to roll back the enlightenment and return to feudalism. They wish to roll back time and return to their childhood, reading Tolkien and dreaming of life in Middle Earth. There’s a graphic comic book quality to their writing that I find a bit off-putting.
