People forget that Jim did all he did while having a wife, a relatively stable lifestyle, and a piece of land to call his own. His irreverence and focus on degeneracy was in a way a critique and lampooning of that sort of conduct from the position of someone who could disengage from it and live as a regular human being with prospects and a loving family anytime he wanted. As bizarre as it sounds, Jim is an intellectual, even something of an observational philosopher. We might not believe that, but the Greek philosophers used to do things like live in barrels and only talk to royalty while taking a shit. That's the difference between a real intellectual and a pseudo-intellectual; one who realizes that he isn't actually special, just another one of the crowd.
His followers meanwhile consist mainly of reprobates and scum who took all of his causes and went 'yeah but i just want to laugh at tards' without realizing that you have to first make yourself something better than what you mock. Those people HATE being reminded of this reality.
I see the same thing having happened to KF. For a while it was an actual bastion of free speech populated by at least a vocal minority of moral agents who wanted to use their skills to make the world better, even if that was simply by shining a light on all the filth encrusting the decrepit icons that everyone with less discernment allowed to slip past their notice in favour of mindlessly worshipping them. Now it's been co-opted by the kind of people whose methods of making themselves look better is by tearing down everyone else to beneath their own level.
I hate it here.
