Trump's Movement Takes a Dark Turn...

[Music]

[Music]

you guys want to know what i've been

really thinking about

in the past few days

is this music is absolutely not setting

the tone okay because it's dark mago

right so let's shut that music off

um i want to introduce you guys to this

and

because we're talking about the american

election right now right

the upcoming one in 2024 so if you don't

know what dark maga is you can pretty

much just search it on twitter dark maga

and

it's a it's a form of uh meme magic

right just like in 2016 it's it's not

really like an organization or a

movement or an ideology it's it's more

like a vibe right and the vibe of dark

maga if i were to describe it

is basically that like the 2016 trump

movement was like very naive

and it was very idealistic and it was

very much based on like the golden 50s

or whatever like you know

uh

you know the 50s and fucking

[Music]

it was bright and shining and it was

golden whatever and that the dark maga

thing is more kind of like

uh

how do i explain it

i'll just show you a picture to under

this is the vibe

and you have to understand when it comes

to aesthetics

it's not really so much about rational

meaning or rationality it's more like uh

a vibe right

so this is dark mango right the idea is

basically that like the next

cycle for the next election is not going

to be like 2016 or it was like

idealistic it's gonna be dark

and by dark it's like extremely

ambiguous as far as what that's

concerned but like

it's going to be um

vengeful it's it's it's i am vengeance

right is the idea for it

and if you look at the hashtag on

twitter there's gonna be a lot of scary

shit

you're gonna you're gonna see but it's

an aesthetic you have to respect

aesthetics for what they are right

demonic it's more like it's more like

about revenge and it's more about uh

it's it's like what it sounds like it's

it's dark maga it's trump going dark and

brutal and merciless

why this is all very familiar to me

is because i thought this was the 2016

trump movement

um

i had become enamored by an internet

trend

around 2015 2016. this was back when i

was kind of a leftist which was called

the dark enlightenment and neo reaction

and

i i honestly was thinking okay this 2016

trump movement that's what this is it's

this new rise of silicon valley

neo-reactionary dark enlightenment

uh stuff and basically dark

enlightenment is just sounds what it

sounds like it's supposed to be this

kind of evoke this very scary kind of

like um

you know that feeling in your stomach

you get when you're confronted with the

possibility that everything you think

about the world is wrong it's basically

like supposed to embrace

what's beyond their neuroticism of

political correctness and beyond the

neuroticism of the liberal status quo

and just this depth of just dark

enlightenment that we just neglected and

turned our back on right nick land he

wrote an article he wrote an essay about

it uh back in the day

um and and i actually thought that

trump's movement was going to be that

right yeah like palpatine or a sith lord

or some kind of shit right

but

um i was wrong that's not what trump's

movement in 2016 was

um

that appears to be the vibe

that's too it's kind of like an

ideological stretch but that appears to

be the kind of vibe going forward in

2024

and dark enlightenment

basically means like a very

just for right now it means like a very

fundamental

break

with the system and the status quo right

a very fundamental break and and kind of

like

destruction it's very much

a combination of destruction

as well as this kind of

baroque

um

aestheticization of destruction and uh

you know revolution or whatever right

where it's not really it's not like you

know uh

this kind of bright idealistic

uh enthusiasm for a positive future and

then the the evil destruction is just a

side effect it's like the it's like a

kind of

it's very hard to explain right

but it's it seems to me like the

aesthetics of a civil war right a coming

civil war

um

now

when i first

coined cpusa 2036

i want to give some context to that

right

um because i am gonna take credit for

this i'm not gonna take credit for it in

the sense that i coined dark maga but

this aesthetic i'm taking credit for it

okay

so in 2021

i was doing a live stream with me and uh

the show runners and also this guy named

cocky dude you don't know who he is and

we were basically discussing i was

discussing a vision that i had had

about

why i think the cpusa is worth

reclaiming and my idea was that you know

we actually didn't know this but we

didn't know what future was for america

we just kind of had a very multi-polar

orientation we understood a new

significance of china and russia but the

question of america was still like

america is the great satan in a sense

right it represents the culmination

of modernity and the enlightenment to

the point of self-consuming madness

so for us

um so for me i came to this conclusion

that

the cp

the cpu usa 2036 basically refers to a

kind of like

chickens coming home to roost for

america because america this is what the

neo-reactionary writer moldbug said and

he's more or less kind of correct

communism is as american as apple pie

but he's saying it from an

anti-communist perspective

communism came from america the kind of

destructive negation embodied by

communism of this revolutionary

overthrow of old orders and an ancient

regime this universal abstract kind of

state planning all of that has its

origins in america that's actually what

america is okay

um

so for me the communist party the reason

communism never really took root in

america is because america was already

communist from day one it always was

right in a sense

uh it's just that america is a jealous

god that does not tolerate other

communists in its midst right the

problem america had with the soviet

union in china wasn't that they were

communists

it's that they weren't america right

um

so yeah it's a really big red pill i

guess but

my idea for the communist party 2036 is

the future of america is that

by bringing communism to america america

will

confront its own image it will confront

its own reflection its own mirror image

and

this confrontation will produce

something i don't know what it's going

to produce but

it will produce something historically

novel that is the destiny of america the

chickens must come home to roost

the idea basically is that from some

kind of alchemical combination

american communism will

awaken

an american civilization because the

whole idea was basically this guys let

me sum it up for you like this

russia and china have cultures and

civilizations and communism was just a

layer on top of that america doesn't

have a civilization all we have is

technology formal abstract universal

statehood so it's like we just have this

kind of reflexive communism

but we don't have like the fundamental

substantive social bonds

that link a people together just we

don't have unwritten

unconscious prohibitions and we don't

have a a patriarchy if you will right

not in a feminist sense of the word

patriarchy but like in the sense of like

a freudian sense of a patriarchy we

don't have that in america right

so for me

the

the kind of um science fiction vision of

cpusa 2036 and a communist civil war in

america was about this confrontation

between america and itself in the form

of communism

that will somehow through a kind of

negation of negation produce

or give breathing room to the final

expression of some kind of uh

some kind of social substance some kind

of civilization some kind of tradition

some kind of thing that can give rise to

a real civil society so that was my idea

and to me i literally would just was

describing this in the stream

for cpusa 2036 that in a c no one really

ever fully understood the aesthetic for

me

cpusa 2036 was not like a gothic or

baroque or

necessarily

um

you know uh

demonic aesthetic but it was dark

glowing red it's literally what i called

it i called it dark

glowing red aesthetic and i specifically

where i got this vision from was i was

driving on the highway during the winter

when it was snowy out and it was very

foggy when i was driving on the highway

and i was looking at the red uh bumper

lights

of the cars in front of me

and

that's pretty much where i got the

aesthetic from like to me that whole

scene that kind of like scenery that

to me that was the aesthetic of um

american communism for 2036 for the

future it's like this combination of

dark glowing red

in the fog right

um

red being a communist color right

so

i it's hard to explain this to you guys

because

i i'm yeah i told you primarily i'm an

artist before anything right

but um

are you saying matt reeves ripped you

off

that's what we're gonna get to here okay

so the other thing i wanted to talk

about was that dark maga is very clearly

uh primarily inspired by the new batman

movie okay

and

this new batman movie it's pretty much

that's pretty much what it is it's it's

very i need to like collect myself maybe

do some writing to describe this better

but

the new batman movie is what dark maga

is when batman says like i am vengeance

that is dark manga that's what dark

magga is dark maga is about some kind of

vengeance right some kind of vengeance

against

the crime and lie of liberalism

so

let me first disclose my kind of

sympathy right

i never really fully related

uh to the anger

of the right wing or of the dark maga

people before

or the maga people until i started

becoming a streamer

and

to be completely honest with you i mean

you guys already know this

i have an indescribable level of anger

and resentment

bordering on just real like black hatred

of of not only liberalism but liberals

right

or whatever leftists whatever you want

to fucking call them like

these it's and and this

this anger that i have toward them

i can't even describe it in detail but

it is a righteous anger but it's also a

kind of vain anger it's both righteous

because

why is it righteous and this is the god

damn fucking truth right i mean i don't

know what i need to do to prove this but

this is the truth it's because of the

way they lie i it's the way that they

lie

is so lovecraftian and not even you guys

will ever be able to fully understand it

because we as human beings are not even

supposed to be

we're not even supposed to be confronted

with the possibility that people can lie

and manipulate our reality alchemically

in this kind of way

okay i i went from being a guy who's

like you guys to being a public figure

and the lies that are told about me and

the lies the not only the lies they say

but the lie of the image they've created

me they've created an image of me that's

a lie right

and it's like there's nothing i can do

about it except be angry right and again

the anger comes from the fact that it's

just not the truth

okay and there's nothing i can do about

it

so that's kind of a microcosm of the way

in which um

i don't even know i should call them

right wingers anymore i just say people

who are really angry at the status quo

feel about not only themselves but their

communities their life experiences at

their own histories and everything

they're they're looking at how the media

is just creating a false image of both

themselves and america and not only that

but also the the populist movements from

2016 and and people are so fucking in

they're so angry about it they're so

angry about the way the media lies about

our reality and and a lie is not just

when people say something that's

factually incorrect it's when they paint

a completely false picture of reality

which scarily enough we don't even have

the cognitive

or critical skills

to be able to identify as a lie we

literally accept this as our reality and

it changes how we look at the world

right now i'm a guy

who has fully given myself to uh the

public the public image right i don't

really have a personal image of what i

am or who i'm an artist first and

foremost so when i look in the mirror i

just

i

actually when i look in the mirror i'm

kind of like i have the heidigarian

shock like how the fuck am i real how do

i have hands

what is this how did the universe how

did the cosmos i should say make this

possible like what the fact that i'm

here as a human being living breathing

human being

is a fucking miracle right

for heidegger that was like

this kind of sense of um

uh

how should i put it astonishment we we

get we experience this like um

this sense of awe at the fact that there

is something rather than nothing right

um

look at the lies that they're that are

being told about ukraine you know

just in general i want to say

i really

really understand

the anger

and that's why i understand dark matter

i understand the vengeance thing right i

really fucking get it

like i have such

extreme fucking hatred for these people

and for everything they represent i have

such extreme hatred for the fucking

media and for the status quo and for all

of these fucking scum who are telling

all of these fucking lies and lying to

us every fucking day but that's not why

i fucking hate them that they're just

telling lies i hate them because they're

actually changing reality with their

lies they are actually changing how we

experience reality with their lives

which is actually the same thing

as changing reality with lies and i can

look around me and see how our reality

is starting to be shaped by falsehood

and by lies

right

and it makes me so fucking angry it

makes me so fucking angry beyond the

fucking threshold even i don't know if i

can tolerate it some days that's how

fucking angry it makes me you know

um

i hate how they get away with it i hate

how there's no justice i hate how they

get away with the lies and it's like

when you confront them with the lies

they're just like haha that proves how

powerful i am

that's really what they do when you

confront them with the lies that they're

telling

their response usually isn't to defend

themselves or to do anything like that

it's pretty much like ha you're right i

did lie and i'm getting away with it

i'm getting away with the lies and you

know the majority of people are gonna

buy into the lies the majority of people

could not possibly fathom or comprehend

how someone could just

tell such a lie of such a

like

even i can't that's why i'm telling you

i get i i get gaslighted by it because

even i sometimes have trouble

understanding how people could tell such

a big fucking lie so what do you think

like the um the average person thinks

when they just optically engineer my

image completely and artificially in

that kind of fucking way right

um

it's what putin said it's an empire of

lies right i mean most even most of you

don't really understand how much you're

being manipulated by these people they

are really lying they really are lying

right and i'm not just saying they're

misreporting facts when i say they're

lying i'm telling you that they're

making you experience reality in a

fundamentally different way and in a way

which contradicts the real thing and

they don't care they don't have any

commitment to the truth whatsoever

just so-called power right and to be

completely honest with you guys as a man

as a 25 year old man i don't even know

what's significant about that

that hurts my fucking heart it hurts my

fucking heart

that

truth

is not united with power it hurts my

fucking heart that truth is repressed

truth is something that's buried it's

something that's like

accursed and and and um

rat it's like you have to

use so much to bring the truth out and

it it does hurt me it it hurts my soul

it hurts me spiritually and it hurts my

fucking heart

right

it hurts my fucking heart how they're

able to get away with the way they're

lying about what's going on in ukraine

it's not just you know the shit they say

about my personal optics it's everything

it really does fucking hurt me you know

it's and when i say it hurts me i'm

saying

it's an immense cause

of suffering for me

and

that suffering

is something

i experience as anger it makes me

so

so fucking angry

[Music]

i really understand the maga movement's

anger because i know the media did the

same exact thing to them and is still

doing that

so trust me i really understand the

fucking anger

right

but the reason i have mixed feelings

about dark maga or whatever this new

aesthetic

is because

i want you guys to watch that batman

movie

because this is what something i

predicted before

and it's kind of a really big tragedy

that unfortunately i mean i'm open to

being proven wrong but this is what i

anticipate

i really do anticipate

that

look

the batman movie had the dark maga

aesthetic but how did it end

what happened at the end of that movie

you had a new reconciliation

and that reconciliation

was represented by the green new deal

and the great reset

you had like an aoc politician and it's

like biden's build back better so what

i'm worried about

is that in the 2024 election

you know maga is gonna do some crazy

shit

and they're gonna fail just like the

riddler failed in that movie or batman

failed depending on how you want to look

at it and then that's going to be the

star the start of the new legitimation

of meghan markle or whatever great reset

agenda they have in store for us you

know

it's like

they're going to have this vengeance and

they're going to want to express that

vengeance in some kind of fucking way in

a really stupid and reckless way which

no one is prepared for right at this

moment and then the elites are preparing

for it though

just like they were for you know

the last time if you remember that the

january 16th that led to new terrorism

domestic terrorism laws and a huge

increase in the power of the state in a

curtailment of our civil liberties right

so i'm wondering if vengeance is going

to be the pretext which they're

anticipating in power for

an unprecedented level of complete

curtailment of our civil liberties and a

full

you know um

in statement of the great reset

and whatever agenda they have lined up

for us which our constitutional

protections are preventing from

happening

i really want people to keep that in

mind like

this if you ever watch that tv show

outlander it was about the jacobite

rebellion and this woman travels back in

time

and she knows

she sympathizes with the jacobite

rebellion but she knows they're gonna

fail and after that failure you're gonna

have like centuries of tyranny in

scotland by the british crown right

and sometimes i kind of feel like that

with dark maga i feel like

maybe

it's already decided that it's gonna

fail

uh or 20 trump i should say in general

in 2024 is gonna fail

and that that's gonna be their pretext

for ushering in this new great reset

what i'm worried about is if

dark magga is just playing into their

hands right

but

the crazy thing is that part of

infrared's aesthetic

has been one of reconciliation a new

type of reconciliation

[Music]

and what reconciliation basically means

is that the contradictions of the era

become resolved

you know if you want an example of

reconciliation if you come from a

christian background

uh the morning after christ's

crucifixion right when he was

resurrected that's reconciliation right

that's what that is

and

you know i always say that i'm early to

every

thing in history because i'm you know i

have mastered the dialectic or whatever

but

i think right now

the aesthetic of the 2020s is not dark

maga it is not

80s synth wave it is not this kind of

like

this is just the leftover from the 2010s

this is the last hurrah of the 2010s

after that you are going to have an era

of reconciliation in the 2020s and that

reconciliation which is like the morning

after the darkness

that's either going to be monopolized by

you know

the democrats agenda in the carl schwab

agenda and the bill gates agenda or

whatever you want to fucking call it

the great reset or

that reconciliation can be monopolized

by counter-hegemonic and populist

popular forces right which is what

infrared's aesthetic was actually about

infrared aesthetic did not begin as one

of vengeance it began as one of

reconciliation

trust me i want to see

these people lose

okay and i also want justice

it's not just vengeance it's justice

right but i feel like the best justice

i feel like the best type of justice you

could do and the best type of suffering

that can be inflicted

on these absolute scum

lying piece of shit

liberals

is reconciliation

it's like you know that fucking meme of

um

g

which is uh what does that mean like uh

it's like that song's playing and what

the fuck is that song

the bloomer the bloomer meme right

the uh the hopium bloomer meme where

like china's thriving and china's being

successful and china's rising

and the liberals are gonna become the

ass mad butthurt ones right that's what

we need to do

and to me the whole founding project of

infrared was based on that

what we need guys is not really

vengeance and this is just for me for

infrared as i'm saying

we don't need vengeance

we need to take reality back we need to

find a way to take reality back we need

to find a way

to let the truth be a force of might in

the world once again we need to take

reality back

infrared's symbol

is literally a um

an infrared globe why is it an infrared

globe

because the globe is their symbol it's

the symbol of objective true reality

we're taking that back

that's what we need to take back we need

to take back

the true object the true objectivity of

a reconciled morning

okay we need to take reality back

we need

a unity between truth and power because

right now

power is reigning at the expense of

truth we need to merge truth with the

power and let the truth become a mighty

force in the world again

with that being said i don't exactly

know what dark maga means right i don't

know exactly what it means

um i don't know if it's inevitable i

don't know if it can be stopped or not

but to

me something that's more fundamental

than vengeance

is the force and power of a new object

the force and power of a new object

which yes will correspond with the

complete and wholesale destruction of

the current world order the current

status quo and the system

but that's not even what we're focused

on that's just gonna be a side effect

what we are focused on is taking reality

back

and if taking reality back

means the complete destruction

of the current system and the current

status quo so be it because we are not

going to flinch

we are going to pursue our task

without any hesitation

of reclaiming our communist

party of creating a merger

between the brightest minds and the

working-class movement

and we are going to fight for a republic

by of and for the people we are gonna

take reality back

and we are going to make truth a mighty

force once again

whatever destruction is a side effect of

that

we don't care we go forward

we go forward with the single-minded

pursuit not of vengeance but of truth

and reality

this is by the way what mark said

mark said we will pursue the truth no

matter where it lands us no matter where

it takes us we will have the bravery to

be faithful to the object

regardless of what that entails or what

that fucking means we will take not one

step back

it's not it's not about vengeance it's

about a new reconciliation

it's about truth

and it's about that new morning that

we're going to awaken to

[Music]

and every fiber of our being every fiber

of our being every ounce of our strength

every bit of our energy will be devoted

to realizing that

new

sunrise

at the edge of the horizon

and the first step to taking reality

back

is to not blink

and not flinch

take reality back

prove reality

and let them exhaust themselves

what i've done for my own personal image

optics

we must do for the movement itself

what have i done i have overloaded the

system

they have nothing they can't even run

out of new shit to say

the lore of haas all of this shit

they smear me with

i give them an endless supply of new

lies

and why do i do that

just to make it easier to contrast those

with the truth

you've heard everything under the sun

about me every type of fucking lie you

can think of they've thrown to my image

and they've created this image of the

lie of what has is which is 1 000

based purely in lies

what i'm doing is overloading the very

system that projects images

so that a little tiny little bit of

reality will be that inch easier

to contrast it with

you overload

the system with lies

and it makes the truth come out that

much fucking easier

and that is why i'm even talking about

dark matter yeah i'm not gonna lie to

you you search dark mag on twitter

there's gonna be a lot of

pretty dark shit very dark shit right

but guess what

that darkness

is the mirror reflection of the evil of

the current liberal order

and all of its fucking lies

when you overload the system with all of

that all of that darkness and all of

that fucking evil it'll make it that

much easier for the glint of truth

to rise from the surface

it makes light that much easier

you make things so so fucking dark that

the tiny speck of light

is the only thing you can see in the

room

that is how we destroy

this empire of lies

and the machine of optics engineering

that they've crafted and they've created

and that is what i am resolutely

committed to doing that is the whole

purpose for my presence anywhere on the

fucking internet it is to destroy their

machine of optics engineering

everyone who's been fucking lied about

everyone who's been slandered and

everyone who's been fucking

smeared is going to get their last laugh

and they're going to get justice

it's not enough to say all they have is

lies

that is not enough to say all they have

is lies

you have to prove the truth in reality

you have to break the spine of the

empire of lies you have to break the

back of the empire lies you have to

break their machine of lies

i don't know

what the future of dark matter is

but all i could tell you is that

infrared has its own unique aesthetic

which

maybe dark maga

can culminate into one day

but we should all keep an eye out for

this we should all keep our eyes on this

and we should recognize though that this

is not the end point

vengeance is not the end point

reconciliation is taking reality back is

that's the end point

you guys also have to understand

something that this dark manga thinks

this is like the first form of me magic

i've seen

since

the 2016 maga movement but guess what

guys

it's very important to add some

ideological clarity to it you know

um

firstly there are some actors that are a

minority not most who are like in an

edgy way they're associating it with

nazism and they're putting swastikas and

all that kind of shit

but the reason they're doing it is

mainly because they're embracing all of

the evil and darkness

that trump's movement was accused with

right

nothing convinces me more of that than

the fact of that new batman movie which

is a very historically

uh

[Music]

significant film very historically

significant but keep your eye on the

ending of that film every time there's a

film like that focus on the fucking

ending and in the ending of that film

you have the great reset and the green

new deal and an environmental

catastrophe that leads to death

stranding right

it's pretty crazy how

i always said when it came to video

games

the two most important video games are

bloodborne and dead stranding and that

death stranding is a sequel to

bloodborne bloodborne is about this kind

of like gothic

dark

universe

that

ails with this need for vengeance and

whatever and then you wake up in the

morning and then suddenly your your sam

porter bridges and you're in death

stranding and that's what's going on

here as well that's that's what happened

in the movie the batman as well

the end of the movie batman basically

develops this new aesthetic of like a

rescue relief soldier or a gig economy

amp delivery person or whatever the fuck

you want to call it someone who works

diligently for the people to basically

you know maneuver environmental problems

and and you know uh

develop the forces of production

whatever you want to fucking call it

right

um

and

you should keep in mind that that's

what's at the end of the tunnel of dark

matter okay

what i've come to learn is that

it's very easy for people to just submit

to the reality given before them

um

which is basically a way of destroying

your soul as a human being

it just destroys your soul as a human

being because what you're doing is

participating in a

collective um

projection of falsehood

and that eats away at your soul right

these are very unhappy miserable people

i'm not gonna lie i'm not always fucking

happy all the time i am very much you

know in pain a lot of the time i'm in

pain because the lies actually hurt my

soul right but the thing that keeps me

going is fighting fighting those lies

literally keeps me alive it is literally

what keeps me living and breathing

is the ability to fight that

right

um

i cannot really empathize with people

who do not fight that and have just

submitted to whatever reality they think

has been given before them

because

i used to be like that and i saw what

the logical conclusion of that is

if you have the bravery to take it to

its conclusion i don't i can't even say

what it is on stream but let's just say

human beings are not meant to live

like that

they are not meant to live like that

naturally we are not meant to fucking

live like that

it's absolutely self-destruction and

what we are up against guys when you

tear away all of the

artifice and all the ideological shit is

we we are really just up against

the destruction of humanity it's very

simple it's the end of mankind as we

know it it is the collective suicide of

the human species that is what we're up

against

we are up against a very slow and

methodical process

in which human beings are being killed

our will to live is being broken

our purpose for living

is being effaced

and we are just slowly dying and being

killed

and and the reason i don't agree with

nick land is because there's not going

to be some kind of ai consciousness

that's going to replace us

if they win

that'll be the end for human beings

on planet earth

uh we'll just become monkeys again we'll

just become fucking you know we'll just

you know you know you know apes

are not very elegant creatures

chimpanzees they don't they have incest

they fuck their grandma they kill their

grandma on accident no one cares

that's what that's the life they live

right and that's what we're slowly

degenerating into right

how are you not a nihilist with all the

doomer shit a lot of people really do

think i'm a nihilist

because i understand the scale and scope

of inevitable annihilation and

destruction and i've made peace with

that

like a lot of people think i'm a

nihilist because of how tolerant i am of

the very far right and how i'm like i'm

not phased by it because i see past

everything i've already seen the end of

the world many times over and i've made

peace with it i'm just focused on what

comes after now

i've made peace with the complete

destruction of everything i've made

peace with the destruction of every

ideology every hope ending in

disappointment i've made peace with all

of that the threshold of neuroticism

is something i have ventured past

many times before and i've completely

made peace with that fact

i focus when you when you let me put put

it this way when you really focus on

what matters

it's very easy to just not

care about a lot of things because you

actually just focus on what matters

right

you
