There's something about all of the Polanski movies I've seen that is just so gross. Like fan fiction for a particularly misanthropic kind of edge lord.

Rosemary's Baby: watch a clueless woman get raped into having the Antichrist from the victim's point of view, you can call it horror but I'm pretty sure the director intended it as porn for the elites who funded his movie.

Chinatown: watch a clueless detective get mind-fucked into uncovering how San Francisco, and by extension America, actually works. In this case, "mystery" is intended in the ancient religious sense, as a revelation. This includes Faye's character. Porn for the elites.

Ninth Gate: watch a clueless book appraiser undergo a series of misadventures that include fucking the whore of Babylon in an accidental sex magick ritual that opens the gates of Hell. In other words, more porn.

Oh, wait that's why I find these movies so gross: they're all gleefully, cynically Satanic.

Sorry, not related, but I wanted to ask you : what do you think is the cause of the boomer mentality ?

And I am not referring to the "buy a second home, go on a cruise" type of thing. I think I more or less understand both the materialist and political echo chamber they were to various degrees stuck in. What I don't get is the "temporal bubble" they managed to erect around them.

Maybe I am just reading too much into my own personal situation, but when dealing with my parents (real boomers born in the 50's) what surprises me is not so much a deny of the future manifested as greed as a deny of the past.

Maybe I am just an exception and I happen to be the one guy dealing with boomers who would rather sell their (unique) house than see their kids go hungry or something...

And maybe it's just a thing in my own country (I don't think so), but it's as if there is this spiritual spell, this perversion in the zeitgeist that disable any tangible connection to something prior to the time of the boomers.

It's as if France never really existed before 1950. Like yeah, before that was the Primordial Darkness from which Everything That Is Good And True emerged, but before WWI ? A complete mystery. It might as well be aliens. In fact it feels like you are dealing with aliens, it feels like you are dealing with "incomplete people" and you have to fill in the blank by grinding down old books Moldbug's style.

Maybe it's just that after x number of generations, the past automatically becomes muddy, idk... Maybe it's just a coincidence. Still it is strange that even the members of this generation who aren't hoarding wealth, seems almost unable to pass down to their children anything but material goods as if they had cut the "spiritual link" at birth and then grew up unable to rebuild one...

Well written. We recognize the same issues, which is certainly good. However, property rights are already gone even in the United States.. the supposed leader in freedom. The concept is now a platitude. You pay yearly rent to use your land in the form of property taxes. At any point in time the land can be taken for non-payment of rent or any other reason the leviathan and its handlers so desire. I do agree that land ownership is a good step.. just not nearly as secure as we are conditioned to believe.
