On the other hand, <a href="http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2011/07/right-wing-terrorism-as-folk-activism.html" rel="nofollow">Moldbug has explained</a> why right-wing activism is wrong, and propaganda is a means which by its nature distorts the message leftwards. I don't pretend to know how to solve this dilemma. Moldbug did suggest a couple of things that might be useful — Uberfact, Antiversity etc. — but nothing was actually done as far as I know (his internet bounty ran out, his family increased fourfold and he had to go back into harness). I feel this is partly what Mr. McGuinn was getting at in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205333.post-70901458014154676142012-09-03T21:45:44.688+00:002012-09-03T21:45:44.688+00:00Actually, I *do* want to be king.Actually, I *do* want to be king.sconzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908181786934308463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205333.post-38193585663121383232012-09-03T20:26:55.529+00:002012-09-03T20:26:55.529+00:00I am sympathetic to the reactionary worldview, but...I am sympathetic to the reactionary worldview, but I my skepticism filter went off when reading this post (as well as MM's program). "Honing our ideas" is important, but sounds like it's just a way to make internet wankery sound like Important Business. More importantly, there's no measure of success on that front.<br /><br />It's an important question though: what objective metrics of success should we be using? Propaganda is not worthless; I would indeed like to use something like "prevalence of these memes in elite and mainstream culture" as a metric - with specific memes that we agree on beforehand.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722675885882665188noreply@blogger.com
