I would like to start a discussion on Jambo's uptake, and circulation, of white supremacist demagogic copy-and-paste rhetoric.
Recently he is going nuts with it on here, spamming the place to pieces with it.
Now in this regard, sometimes on this forum I have cited one particular white supremacist collective and their "bugs" script.
That particular "collective" or "swarm" as they refer to themselves, also maintain training podcasts on their "debate" strategies, two different databases of copy-and-paste rhetorics, two rhetorical style guides, and a subforum through which they direct each other to swarm digital spaces.
Jambo draws on similar but more informal networks. We sometimes refer on here to "Woods, Collett and Mongoose" in this regard, but in reality the network he draws on has many more than just three nodes.
There is also the question of who creates the copy and paste rhetoric and imagery for uptake, and circulation. Certainly the likes of Woods, Collett and Mongerot are not the creators of it, they are downstream.
But the stuff is mostly nonsense, it has been created to be reactionary, emotionally affective and meme-like to aid its infectioness and spread.
Now in one way this stuff is a problem for a forum, it is a form of spamming, and it aims to shut down discussion. It is not supposed to be discussed, if you challenge it you are an "anti-white" and you encounter the other devices illustrated in that "bugs" script above.
But this is a fairly quiet forum, and Jambo serves as a kind of exhibit.
The forum users observe his copy and paste antics and so on, and are able to reflect on what it means.
So let this be a thread for such reflections, observations, and psychological hypotheses about what drives it, and where it may end given the nature of the new internet technology and its enablement of mass psychological phenomena.
Let's talk about the implications of this phenomenon of abdication of one's individual critical faculties, instead putting one's faith in conspiracies, slogans, dystopian ideologies, dogmas, and mantras like "anti racist is a code word for anti white" etc.
"... It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster; and each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster’s body, so that for better or worse he must accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost..."
