The O9A as far as I'm aware has zero FBI connections originally, it was started by a genuine Nazi occultist British crank.

What you're thinking of is the Tempel Ov Blood (Yes that's how it's spelled) which is essentially the American denomination of the O9A who have their own modified version of the theology and all that shit.

The founder of that IS a known FBI informant, though I believe he became an informant after founding the TOB.

I unfortunately know a lot about these groups.

764 is technically a separate group that's really just in it for the pedophilia, little Epsteins, but in practice there is A LOT of overlap.

For the record, while I'm not actually aware of the racism though I find it believable, the transphobia isn't really hidden.

In the book he's excerpting from he goes into even further and more overt detail in the broader transphobic rant - his general opinion seems to be a rehash of the old 'homosexuality is bourgiese decadence' thing, but applied to being transgender instead.

It's really quite obvious and heinous in the book, there's even a moment where the conceptual connection is made clear and he went so far as to plausibly-deniably imply that being homosexual should still be considered a mental illness.

I am in no way implying that, fuck head, don't Ziojacket me.

Am I criticizing the slop posting of her Islamophobic rants right now, jackass? I specifically referenced the various posts about her old bad takes like THIS VERY POST we're commenting on.

This is in such unfathomable bad faith, I really hope this website actually cracks down on transmisogyny one day.

And of course all the posts about Contra's various ancient bad takes are relevant to that, right? Posting about her shit takes on Marie Antoinette from almost half a decade ago?

There's plenty of anti-genocide intellectuals who aren't disgusting transphobes that this website doesn't pay any attention to. Why the specific fixation on the White Jewish Transphobe who constantly dooms about Palestine anyway?

Is this some sort of allusion to arguments against the current trend towards literally banning under-18s from the internet? Are you suggesting this hypothetical Taylor Lorenz take would be bad?

I have to imagine it's from years of volcel police jokes reinforcing a sex-negative culture and the complete lack of understanding of feminism or queer theory of most of the userbase.

Excellent post and I entirely agree. Just wanted to let you know that.

'Cringe' is a concept that is disproportionately applied to disabled and nuerodivergent people as a means of social shunning, harassment, and even social murder, as you obviously know given this bad faith response.

Go fuck yourself.

As an additional thought along similar lines, I personally have something of a weird half-farcical complex about being a noble and in some spaces - half-farcically - lean into that aesthetically and behaviorally in benign ways. My 'weird LARP bullshit' as I tend to call it.

This sort of thing may be psychologically adjacent to these dreams If yours. In my case, I think my brain latched onto it - in part - because it allows something of a recontextualization of my disabilities, which are purely mental.

'Actually, my so called 'inability to clean up my house properly' and 'intensely mercurial moods' and 'drug dependency' are signs of me being born to be a loser poet twink aristocrat, thank you.'

It's extremely silly but does genuinely make me feel better about myself - a similar if less intense psychological Thing may be going on with these dreams.

Surely that risk/benefit calculation ought be left to the ones actually being put at risk, the Astro/Cosmo/Taikonauts in question.

I'm sure there's a number of those who would be absolutely giddy to do a Mars Landing, so long as the risk was low enough to be possible at all.

In fairness, Toby only did the Japanese translation because he himself is fluent in Japanese, so he could directly check the localization team's work.

Without the ability to do that, then his perfectionism gets in the way - he'd kinda just have to trust the output and the interpretation of the localiztion team without being able to hands-on read and modify it himself, which he did do for the Japanese localization.

You can take from that what you will, but it was a more detailed answer on his part than simply 'because my artistic vision'.
