Tonight, as of 9:44pm of 10/16/26, approximately 48% of my top Reddit posts on all of my diverse feeds I created for myself have overwhelmingly positive posts about China. I dunno what's up, but I see the effect of what is a clear implement of propagandasia.

Step four is starting your own Gnostic religion.

    Then you smoke too much meth, make CCRU, and create Peter Thiel. Oopsies!

    They weren't smoking meth, that's never really taken off here outside of certain gay communities afaik, and even then it's rare. Amphetamine here is speed, and it's one of the many white powders taken by nose.

    CCRU were a little before my time, I don't think I've heard of them by that name before but the wiki page just recontextualised some of my mid 00's to early 10's, their ethos definitly had an impact in some of the goth and squat rave circles I was around.

    How does Theil come into this from the CCRU tho?

    So to my knowledge there's a lot of inspiration that came from CCRU, which Nick Land was a participant, who then worked on Dark Enlightenment and explicitly engaged with Yarvin and supposedly Peter Thiel, then Thiel and Yarvin have documented correspondence.

    These people have worked closely together and people have drawn some conclusions about the influence.
