• I added an agora current events board to contain discussions of political and current events to that category. This was due to a increase support for a separate board for political talk.

Whackass Ideologies (that may or may not be satire)

We've all been there: It's the information age, you're 16 years old, and you're finding out about all these crazy extremist parties that you agree with in some way or another.
Anarchism for me. (Does this even count as "crazy" anymore??) The world will never fixed unless society does something about it, and that something has to be (unfortunately) illegal to make a lot of noise.

Anarchism was never a "crazy" ideology, really. The tradition of teenagers across the world has always been to support some form of Anarchism until they finally realize that Fall Out Boy is a shitty band and Rage Against the Machine was a shill.

Anarchism was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Were I live the bakers syndicates where quite influenced by anarchism so the names of the pastries we have today carry anarchist themes. Like mocking the police or religion.

I really can't blame people after 'The Great War' for not wanting a state anymore, especially if you were a veteran or soldier. One of the more interesting Anarchist groups that held alot of power was in Ukraine, before being stomped out by the Soviets.

Honestly there was a lot of things going on with Ukraine at the time. Green Ukraine comes to mind, less wacky ideology, more wacky briefly existing political movement. very far away from their motherland.

This one is starting to see Singularitarianism as a whackass ideology. IT started out as mostly harmless nerd bullshit but now these ones are usurping the socioeconomic order and I hope to see them on the stockade before the close of the century. It is a refuge for people too up the ass of modern scientism to abandon strict materialism but they also desire the comfort of things such as afterlife and deities but brought to life by a dumb Chatbot

In no particular order:
  • Any Marxist ideologies post 1991
  • Any Fascist or Nazi ideologies post 1945
  • Antifascism post 1945 or outside the confines of a hardcore show (literally just a way for dweebs to act like violent biker gangs and largely get away with it)
  • Anything that came from Nick Land's meth binges
  • All forms of Anarchism
  • Anything that calls itself "Satanic" or "Satanism"

As if Nazism before 1945 wasn't preached by the mentally unwell, Nazism as an ideology is just tearing a bunch of shit from other ideologies and then stapling it into Germany first policy. Of course Hitler telling Mussolini he's the reincarnation of Ancient Aryan War god is a completely normal non schizo behavior.

So much about Nazi Germany makes sense when you know the whole country was taking what we now call meth the same way people drink energy drinks today.

This is something to be said about every post-Marx ideology, really. Nazism is only slightly more derivative than Fascism, which itself is just as derivative as Communism or Socialism are from Marx's writings.

This is true, but not exactly to the extent that people like to make it out to be. I recall Umberto Eco's assertion that "The most influential theoretical source of the theories of the new Italian right, Julius Evola, merged the Holy Grail with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, alchemy with the Holy Roman and Germanic Empire."
This is in spite of the fact that Evola was seen as a whackjob by his Fascist contemporaries and his cult-like beliefs were written off as nonsense by most; a fact that Eco conveniently sweeps under the rug.
Even so, Himmler was super fucking weird, and of course there was the obsession that Nazi officials had with German paganism. I'm not sure I'd chalk it up to schizo tomfuckery all around, though, since it seems like they followed it for the similar reasons to today's "yeah I'm like 1/16th Cherokee so I know all about spiritual cleansing" attitudes.

I believed this for a little while, then decided to actually look for the event itself... and couldn't find anything. Not to pull a smug "[citation needed]," but I'm not so sure what the truth is of this.

Okay, this might be slightly off-topic to the thread, since it's more focused on a small political party than wide-spread ideology, but it fits enough and I can't get this subject out of my head since a good friend of mine brought it to my attention. Plus, what I talk about happened WAY back, so the "past is a different country" element will make it suitably wacky to the man of today.

Here's the setting. 1930ish, in rural middle-of-nowhere parts of Iowa and Wisconsin. There's demand for something that isn't the Republican "big business helps everyone" ideal and the Democratic rural farming-type ideal. Thus, you start to see some more radical and progressive ideas pop up in politics. Eventually FDR would define progressivism going forward, but a bit before that you have some really, really kooky characters.

Best I can tell, there was this short lived movement/party called the Modern Seventy-Sixers, headed by a Lester P. Barlow. Now, Barlow is quite the screwball but this thread is about ideology, and not ideologues. If I ever get the chance, I'll divulge more about him. (he claimed to have built a death ray, have knowledge of biological weapons, and was an inventor who liked to design bombs, which he used against federal Mexican troops during the Mexican Revolution for some reason)
During one of his tests, he dropped this absolutely massive bomb that was so poorly designed, not a singular goat was injured.


The movement and Barlow himself, politically, weren't that special. They were contemporary of FDR (who Barlow hated, funny enough) and were left-leaning-but-still-not-really-socialist progressives. However, their methodology was what makes me so interested in them.

REMAIL CALM, PATRIOTS ARE IN CONTROL

It's somewhat hard to find any information on the Modern 76ers directly, but you can find them mentioned by others, usually described with the word "dangerous."[1, page 161]
I somewhat lied describing them as a political movement, they acted more like Barlow's personal paramilitary army from what I've read. He is directly quoted as saying "We are going to clean this country, or blow it up." [same source, page 167]
While small, and existing for like five seconds, they were committed to fighting "reactionaries" by any means necessary. This apparently included guerilla warfare against their own country.
The mongrel reactionaries will die by the sword alhamdulliah


This is what gets me. The fact that their actual political beliefs were so milquetoast, but they acted like a social democrat Freikorps, and to top it all off, they were being headed by a cartoonish mad scientist? Tell me that isn't wacky. I'm almost sad they didn't last that long.

Holy moly, that's wild. This is exactly the type of thing I've been wanting to read in this thread!

I posted this elsewhere, but I believe I came up with the perfect summary for this movement in particular; Objectivism for Fags.
I've been calling Church of Satan styled Satanism "Ayn Rand with Halloween decorations" for years myself, though part of me wonders how much the talk about it being non-theistic and purely material is actually true. We are dealing with a group who "worships" a figure who's nick name is "The Deceiver." So for example, Levey and his gang were fond of practicing occult rituals, invoking demons long established in esoteric and biblical lore. When questioned about rituals, his response was not "oh this is just parody" but that there are certain forces we don't understand well, but will with time. It makes you wonder how much of the purely atheistic "Ayn Rand in October" ideology presented to the public is in itself some sort of window dressing so you ignore what is obvious in your face. What was the greatest trick the devil ever pulled after all.

By the way, a lot of modern Heathenry/Germanic Pagan revival groups are largely a re-skinned version of a Church of Satan offshoot called "Temple of Set", which has Odin as the top brass instead of the Egyptian god Set. They (Temple of Set) are self admittedly Theistic and are open about believing in occult metaphysics.
