"content": "Do you remember the Tumblr concept of Otherkin? I do, and today I realized why this concept was created. And it has to do with the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.<br /><br />In a desperate bid to pass the time during this Corona-related lockdown, I was watching an old podcast video discussing otherkin (<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azC1nm85btY\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azC1nm85btY</a>). The podcast featured Milo Yiannopolis as a guest. The Breitbart journalist Milo Yiannopolis used to be a very popular spokesperson of the alternative culture of the moderate libertarian/classic liberal side of the internet. I personally remember his presence quite well.<br /><br />Milo Yiannopolis compared the otherkin concept to some sort of religion, but I don't think he realized how correct he was. He believes that the otherkin idea was a proposed alternative to Christian religion. A number of people grew attached to the idea of otherkin and adopted it as their new mode of being. I have a new theory as to why that is.<br /><br />I will now try to tie that back to an old quote by Friedrich Nietzsche, a well known existentialist philosopher. Back in his day, he said the following:<br /><br />\"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?\"<br />— Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Section 125<br /><br />What does this mean, really? It means that we will have to basically invent our own moral system by which we can live. In fact, we would have to develop our own moral ideal and in that way we would have to adopt the role of the judging god. Out of whole cloth, we would have to invent a completely new standard for a system of values, appoint new saints, develop new sacred rituals and adhere to a new mode of being that we can judge our own value by, at least when compared to others.<br /><br />The way in which this relates to otherkin, is that the concept of otherkin is an attempt to replace the Christian religion with an equally nonsensical system of assumptions and figments of the imagination.

"content": "Do you remember the Tumblr concept of Otherkin? I do, and today I realized why this concept was created. And it has to do with the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.\n\nIn a desperate bid to pass the time during this Corona-related lockdown, I was watching an old podcast video discussing otherkin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azC1nm85btY). The podcast featured Milo Yiannopolis as a guest. The Breitbart journalist Milo Yiannopolis used to be a very popular spokesperson of the alternative culture of the moderate libertarian/classic liberal side of the internet. I personally remember his presence quite well.\n\nMilo Yiannopolis compared the otherkin concept to some sort of religion, but I don't think he realized how correct he was. He believes that the otherkin idea was a proposed alternative to Christian religion. A number of people grew attached to the idea of otherkin and adopted it as their new mode of being. I have a new theory as to why that is.\n\nI will now try to tie that back to an old quote by Friedrich Nietzsche, a well known existentialist philosopher. Back in his day, he said the following:\n\n\"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?\"\n— Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Section 125\n\nWhat does this mean, really? It means that we will have to basically invent our own moral system by which we can live. In fact, we would have to develop our own moral ideal and in that way we would have to adopt the role of the judging god. Out of whole cloth, we would have to invent a completely new standard for a system of values, appoint new saints, develop new sacred rituals and adhere to a new mode of being that we can judge our own value by, at least when compared to others.\n\nThe way in which this relates to otherkin, is that the concept of otherkin is an attempt to replace the Christian religion with an equally nonsensical system of assumptions and figments of the imagination. It might even be a variant of animal worship, which has already been demonstrated as a cultural phenomenon in rudimentary religious systems worldwide.\n\nThe development of \"otherkin\" as a new internet phenomenon might seem laughable to a bystander looking at it.

Mass media channels have portrayed the events of Gamergate in a radically different way than what has been understood by its actual participants. I really don't believe that media channels consciously conspired and spread lies about the events, but a lot of blatant untruths and anti-gamer slander have reached the general public regardless.<br /><br />To this day, gamers are mistakenly seen as some kind of cave trolls, or some other kind of filthy sub-human. If you came out saying that you like to play some videogames, you immediately fall down the social ladder. That is because the \"gamer\" identity has been smeared to such an extreme extent by the press. The anti-gamer press during Gamergate has contributed an actual landslide of bad publicity to the current state of affairs.<br /><br />As such, Gamergate is a prime example of media mistruths influencing and reaching the general public. Spreading misinformation in large quantities changes the culture, and changing the culture affects the way in which democratic policy develops. Faulty news coverage unhinges the entire culture and corrupts society. It needs to be stopped immediately and with complete seriousness.<br /><br />Knowing this, why would anyone still trust the mainstream media? While I am desperately trying to avoid conspiracy theories, the mistruths in large-scale media channels have been widely documented and very hard to deny. The extremely poor quality of news coverage from large channels is well known without conspiracy theory ever being involved.<br /><br />I personally blame professional conspiracy theorists for absolutely crashing and burning the credulity of honest whistleblowers about mainstream media reliability.

The quality of mainstream media fact checking is absolutely horrendous. Not only that, it is also the case that a lot of media outlets pride themselves on their bias. Let me repeat that for clarity's sake; Media channels are politically biased, they know it, and they are completely unapologetic about it. These are supposed to be objective sources of information, but more often than not they end up being blatant talking heads for a certain political preference.<br /><br />I intend to one day live in a world where the news is absolutely objective and contains only the description of events, without moral proclamations from the editing staff.<br /><br />Give me your support in the comments or through Wires if you like my messages.
