Samuel Hirohito Hyde > Samuel Hirohito Hyde's Quotes

“Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources.”
― Nick Land, Fanged Noumena: Collected Writings, 1987–2007

“Nothing human makes it out of the near-future.”
― Nick Land

“Sovereign is he who decides on the exception.”
― Carl Schmitt

“Space echoes like an immense tomb, yet the stars still burn. Why does the sun take so long to die ?”
― Nick Land, The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism

“...the principal role of conservatism in modern politics is to be humiliated. That is what a perpetual loyal opposition, or court jester, is for.”
― Nick Land, The Dark Enlightenment

“It is a mere consolation to the timid to imagine that philosophy has died. The fact of the matter is quite to the contrary. Philosophy will be the last of human things; perhaps the efficient impulse of the end.”
― Nick Land

“Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good.”
― Theodore Kaczynski

“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding...”
― William Gibson, Neuromancer

“With a [democratic] government anyone in principle can become a member of the ruling class or even the supreme power. The distinction between the rulers and the ruled as well as the class consciousness of the ruled become blurred. The illusion even arises that the distinction no longer exists: that with a public government no one is ruled by anyone, but everyone instead rules himself. Accordingly, public resistance against government power is systematically weakened. While exploitation and expropriation before might have appeared plainly oppressive and evil to the public, they seem much less so, mankind being what it is, once anyone may freely enter the ranks of those who are at the receiving end. Consequently, [exploitation will increase], whether openly in the form of higher taxes or discretely as increased governmental money “creation” (inflation) or legislative regulation.”
― Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Democracy: The God That Failed

“Reality is the perfect enemy: it always fights back, it can never be defeated, and infinite energy can be expended in unsuccessfully resisting it.”
― Mencius Moldbug, An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives

“И социально, и психологически современная «европейская демократия» гораздо ближе её нынешним советско-православным ненавистникам, чем традиционной Европе, с которой она не более схожа, чем какое-нибудь советское «евразийство» — с культурными и политическими традициями Российской империи. Грань проходит не между «европейством» и «русскостью», а между общей для всех европейских стран от Португалии до России и от Норвегии до Греции великой цивилизацией белого человека и ублюдочной «цивилизацией масс», поправшей как инославие, так и православие, традиционную государственность как России, так и западных стран.”
― Сергей Владимирович Волков, Почему РФ - не Россия

“Культура империи была аристократична, но аристократизм вообще есть основа всякой высокой культуры. (Вот почему, кстати, народы, по какой-либо причине оказавшиеся лишенными или никогда не имевшие собственной «узаконенной» элиты — дворянства и т.п., не создали, по существу, ничего достойного мирового уровня, во всяком случае, их вклад в этом отношении несопоставим с вкладом народов, таковую имевшими.) Сама сущность высоких проявлений культуры глубоко аристократична: лишь немногие способны делать что-то такое, чего не может делать большинство (будь то сфера искусства, науки или государственного управления). Наличие соответствующей среды, свойственных ей идеалов и представлений абсолютно необходимо как для формирования и поддержания потребности в существовании высоких проявлений культуры, так и для стимуляции успехов в этих видах деятельности лиц любого социального происхождения.”

“If your doctor prescribes you antidepressants, you should prescribe a bullet to his brain or, better yet, his children.”
― Sam Hyde

“Every new day is the erasing of something more. Mistakes and shortcomings used to be a secret motivation. It was something that pushed you forward, faster. Now mistakes are sold as personality traits, to the point where the many willingly make them. Soon comes the inversion, where successes are kept under wraps because it's too pretentious or uppity to share them”
― Mike Ma, Gothic Violence

“The cynicism that regards hero worship as comical is always shadowed by a sense of physical inferiority.”
― Yukio Mishima, Sun & Steel
