Honestly, there's no real decoding this. There's no hidden messages or trying to see the underlying logic.

I'm guessing they've either got a little cult where they've given specific meaning to this little phrase, or it's just as dumb as it sounds and makes no sense.

I'm guessing it makes no sense on account of the it not making sense.

"Profoundly negrous" is fucking crazy man.

Right, and he's so comfortable with this language. He's well into living on another planet where phrases like this are common place among his group.

chat is this satire

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 20 points 10 hours ago

I thought he meant naggers.

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I... what does that even mean?

[–] Kurious84@lemmings.world 9 points 6 hours ago

No idea. I do think billionaires are a serious problem and shouldn't be allowed. Dont care how many business they start. They have the power to buy elections and play games with our entire world so fuck em.

He is a racial narcissist (and racial fascist) who has narcissistic delusions about race that are his projections of his own insecurity. He gets narcissistic supply from people responding to his delusions as if they are real. Which is why narcissists crave proximity and control so much and are fascists, because their biggest goal in life is to cater and caretake their delusions, not to actually think or do things or be progressive. It's about the appearance of those things because it was always about narcissistic supply in the first place.

Most white men who are racial narcissists believe in:

  • physical narcissism, which they believe black men are superior to them due to eugenics from chattel slavery, including a belief that they are stronger, their dicks are better and they are better at sex (this is a REALLY big deal to them, more than you would realize). This is also why white supremacists wanted to EAT and DID EAT black slaves. It's also why they have to push narratives that black people are ugly, phrenology, etc. It's why they are so physically cruel to them - they overabuse them because they are physically insecure.
  • intellectual narcissism, which they believe they are superior to black people because of chattel slavery/owning them (aka sadistic and psychopathic abuse, not intellect) and the various white supremacy lies. This is why they don't like DEI. Again, remember this is projection- it's their own deepest insecurities they vomit out constantly through delusions.

Then these delusions can be applied to others not even in that group, because it was never based on reality to begin with. That's why he's calling white people the n word, he simply wants supply and it doesn't matter if what he says makes sense or is rational.

Tldr; Curtis Yarvin believes his own dick is small, he is bad in bed, he is weak, and he is stupid and a bad rich person who made his money like all very rich people - via slavery and theft.

Fascinating. I never understood why the cuckolding fetish (fixation? obsession?) came with such a strong overlap with, I guess, race play? Feels like a charitable way to put it.

I didn't believe it at first, but any quick web search will show that cuckolding largely is about the races of the people involved.

Which makes a lot more sense if seen through the framework you just described.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There's also overlap with power narcissism ("might makes right", nearly always ties in to physical narcissism and intellectual narcissism), money narcissism (classism), gender narcissism (misogyny), and savior narcissism (the stuff you see in charities and churches, evangelicalism).

And more ofc. There's no limit to delusions someone can have.

All of that overlaps because there is intersectionality of narcissitic abusers, who then look for victims who safisfy that. We focus a lot of intersectionality of victims and not their abusers. But it's why Ted Bundy picked young white attractive college girls with long straight dark hair to attack - all of those aspects represent his own narcissistic delusions, they are not the fault or problem of the victim, but of the abuser projecting onto the victim. They look for perfect dolls or teddy bears to project onto. Ted Bundy was otherwise perfectly safe to Anne Rice and most people he encountered because she wasn't someone he could fully project onto - his narcissistic delusion enforcement wasn't triggered by her.

So for eg it isn't so much that Native American women are more likely to be murdered because they are Native women, but that there's a widespread narcissistic belief set that murdering Native American women is not a concern, so much so that police and media and much of the public ignore it or actively aid it. And now we see this issue magnifying with the deportations - where are all the women? Latinos are just Native Americans who were colonized by Spanish speakers, after all.

But when we focus on abusers instead of the abused, the abusers realize they will get cut off from supply and they have a huge pushback for control.

And yeah it all ties into sexual stuff too

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Never really thought of narcissisms in such a plural and mundane way. Is this a school of abnormal psychology or something?

Interesting lens to look through. I've always been a sucker for this kind of transactional analysis.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, yeah, but none of that explains what billionaires being "negrous" means? Like something something connect them with the same negative attributes that they keep going on about?

Can white billionaires be "negrous"?

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Read again:

Then these delusions can be applied to others not even in that group, because it was never based on reality to begin with. That’s why he’s calling white people the n word, he simply wants supply and it doesn’t matter if what he says makes sense or is rational.

[–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 3 points 4 hours ago

I know I'm an idiot, but I actually still don't understand it.

So there is no black people, that are billionaires. So that is not a problem. But he wants there to be a problem. So he just says that they act black. Which is a problem.

?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Okay yeah my bad for trying to look for rationality in racism, true enough.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

ok I'm going to TRY to explain his thinking but I'm likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.

What he's saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they're insanely wealthy when "they're not".

this is what he likely means when he says "n-word rich". Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He's watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this "bling" has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that's what he means by "n-word rich".

he could have just said "The problem is the majority of billionaires aren't actually billionaires. They just think they are."

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Some people like to rebrand the n-word as a non-racial term. Pretending that it is not tied to skin color or racism but behavior.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 5 points 8 hours ago

That's what I thought he was saying at first, but that still doesn't even make any sense though. You are either a billionaire or you are not. I don't know of anyone who goes around claiming to be a billionaire when they are not, and I could probably name a few who are but never mention it.

Also why would it be a problem? Is he saying there is not enough of a wealth gap? That's demonstrably false.

And what's with the nature and function bit?

Sounds to me he's just spouting hatred to be provocative without any real point.

There is no mask when you're already 'Peter Thiel's bestie'

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 25 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?

There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.
