Mars Review of Books is a literary magazine featuring the sort of writer who thinks Moldbug is the greatest stylist to assault the written word and lists their Urbit address. Yeah, it’s a group substack.

“With the sudden death of Sports Illustrated, they decided to take on the responsibility of offering yearly swimsuit editions.”

is Thiel running out of places to spend his money or something

    It would be legit funny to have a “swimsuit edition” that just provided old-school consumer reviews of swimsuits, evaluating them for comfort, durability, etc. No models, only graphs.

    Models:

    Bronze Age Shawty

    Bimbo Ubermensch

    fucking excuse me?

    of course the cover of their first issue is what appears to be an incorrect drawing of the inside of an AR-15. cause there’s nothing more technofuturist than guns and extreme incompetence

        ultra-hermetic metamasonic brotherhood

        the neoreactionary movement is a contest about who’ll come up with the most new ways to say “jews”

          To be fair, “an ultra-hermetic metamasonic brotherhood” is a pretty old way to say “jews”.

          (Not clear where Interpol comes in tho.)

            it’s the “meta” part that as far as i can tell is a ccru innovation? (which in typical fashion doesn’t seem to mean anything but looks cool and new)

              “Ultra” is just sexy filler, too.

              I wish i could draw. The cartoon of the ultra-hermetic metamasonic brotherhood would rock. Throw in some justified ancients of mumu for local color.

            Yarvin’s not Jewish, he’s of Jewish descent on one side with (as far as I know) no self-identification with Jewish culture, ethnicity, religion, or social life except to sometimes claim his descent as a Get Out Of Jail Free card. Same as Milo.

            But it’s true that the neo-reactionaries seem to be packed full of a small number of deeply disturbing Jews and, like, I don’t like people who toss around “kapo” but.

                Oh gross. 😢

                I want to believe he’s lying for weird racist clout, but at this point if I rejected all the despicable racist Jews who like being in bed with vile racist neoreactionaries who’d stab them in the back at the slightest provocation, there’d be no more space in the False Scotsmen pit.

                  I know from people who know him personally that he quite definitely thinks of himself as Jewish, though how he does that is a different question, yes.

        it is fucking chef’s kiss that the only reply to whatever the fuck I just read (unauthorized Illuminatus! fan fiction?) is some LinkedIn realtor begging Justin to buy condos from them to use as cult compounds

        We descend to an underground tunnel system we built without permits using profits from the apparatus.

        On our underground DIY bullet train, we arrive at the Appalachia compound before the AOE even breaks down the door [in the Texas compound]

        so

        this “virtual enterprise” has managed to build a fucking train tunnel (trains?! how woke!!!) under thousands of miles of private, state, and federal land, without anyone knowing. And what’s the prevent the dastardly crypto-Jewish law enforcement from simply deducing the path of the fucking tunnel, and breaking down the doors on both ends at the same time??

        These people love to imagine themselves as the French resistance, but with the Gestapo being bungling fools, and their every scheme being foiled by techno-deus-exes being pulled from the author’s ass whenever needed.
