this is like the definition of 99.9 iq

Imagine driving from your suburban home through the depot area all the way up to the mall parking lot and then venturing inside the hyperbolic shoebox draped with garish slogans. There you are, browsing the goods at display when this shoggoth, perpetually stuck in falsified childhood state paradoxically saunters away from stasis and into the fray. It tries to zap you with the toy gun and you recoil in horror, knowing well that you have already been hit with the essence of the situation, that being the real threat. Even Lovecraft, who envisioned sloping cities of marble would not be able to bear countenance on the sugar-rushed essence of midwest contained in this image. The belted belly of the bing dingthotep attempting to engage you whilst emanating a corruption that even insect races would find inhuman.

This modern Lovecraftiana thing needs to be explored further

Movie Blob?

Lovecraft + capitalistic AI = Land
Burgerpunk is Landian.

it's more about culture and media than it is just about the market

its more like accelerationism is land was boring and didn't like lovecraft and cyberpunk movies

The market shapes the culture and media. That's the point that produces the horror, that the culture, something that is the most close, natural and dear to any human, is being produced by forces naturally alien to anything human, these of the market.

fuck off with that simplistic explanation of market forces and especially culture

Why did "police intervene"? Because there were a large number of rowdy customers jockeying to fill their tanks, or because the business was somehow "breaking the law" by choosing to sell a commodity that it owns at a very low price, as a loss leader?

I'm telling you people, this whole Epstein shit, the more that comes out, the crazier I get. That's Lovecraftian right there.

pimping 16 year olds is lovecraftian?

the connections to everyone and everything!

i didn't see anything particularly sinister about epstein case other than elites wanting him dead at any cost

I mean his past connections to other companies that moved in human trafficking, the details of how he had his hands in many areas in the arts, science and culture. It just fucked me up son

the same entities that make up public services high and low can be complicit because anyone can be blackmailed, doesnt mean everyone is like him. take in the fact that the reason he was broadcasted means he was a minor player and the whole story was deemed 'safe' to publicize.

Why are their noses so big?

Weird thing is I kind of respect MovieBob. He's an unashamed technocratic utopian who wants to live in the Federation from Star Trek and views everything and everyone who keeps him from this goal as beneath contempt. He's honest about his preference and largely correctly identifies those standing in the way. I think his goal is insane, but he has the courage to actually say what he thinks unlike those on his side who pretend to care about manufacturing workers or rural folk.

You're sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist. Epstein was just one evil guy at the end of the day. "THE ELIIIT RAPES KIIIDS" is Alex Jones level shit.

The funny thing is that he would be treated like shit in the future he wants.

He's a white trash basement dweller nazi lolcow that is completely unaware of how he acts. Lies all the time too.

who will win the impending Google-Amazon War?

they/them

mother fucker thats hat the dude says, and your lying about the lies

Not us, that's for sure. Whichever one "wins" will likely consume the other, ultimately leading to a similar result of technofascist totalitarian surveillance and ultimately human extinction. But hey, there'll be lots of cool gadgets!

Sure, but he'll also prattle on ab out "empathy" and "human decency" he feels when the rest of his worldview says otherwise.

Look into NXIVM and its connections, and watch the documentary An Open Secret while you're at it.
Hell, look at who Epstein had on his island and in his book of contacts. "Just one evil guy" is a ridiculous simplification of how deep this rot is.

nxivm is just a mlm scheme with bdsm added

Bump

David Foster Wallace once wrote a piece about David Lynch. In the piece, he coined a new term: "Lynchian". Wallace described a Lynchian tone as "the unbelievably grotesque existing in a kind of union with the unbelievably banal."

He described a husband beating his 1950s housewife to death because she bought the wrong brand of peanut butter. "I told you to buy the JIF," he'd say as he's clobbering her to death. This, he said, would qualify as almost perfectly Lynchian.

I think "I Am Jazz" enters into Lynchian territory. The .webm above shows a simple domestic scene. The women look like average suburban moms. They're relaxing on the couch. One imagines they might be discussing casserole recipes when we cut to them. But it slowly dawns on us that in the living room, with placid expressions on their faces, they're talking about the woman's transvestite son's genitals.

Despite the obvious subtext and the producers' hope to normalize this horror, the average person is totally disgusted. Nevertheless, the viewer is fascinated. We're drawn further into this. The sheer naked horror of what they're saying, the blasé quality with which they're saying it, it creates this brutal paradox that almost rapes the viewer's basic sense of what is decent.
