David Lynch has died at the age of 78.

Although he had emphysema from nearly 70 years of smoking, it appears that his death ultimately came as a result of being forced to flee the LA fires.

But yes, he was going to die either way.

People attack me for being pro-smoking, but what do you want? You want to live to be 100? Why would anyone want to do that?

The average US life expectancy for males is 77. Obviously, the reason the US number is so low compared to other countries is that the US is an obese country, and given that Lynch was not obese, he may well have lived another few years if he had not been a smoker. Fair enough.

But who knows – maybe if he had not been a smoker, he would have been obese?

The point is: this smoking thing is really exaggerated beyond anything remotely reasonable. If everyone was in tip-top shape and the government was very strict about toxins in the food and water and in the environment, maybe it would be reasonable to talk about smoking as a health risk, but literally everything is worse than smoking. Watching the most obese country on earth talk about the threat of cigarettes is pathological.

Funnily enough, I was recently talking to someone about the available BluRay releases of the original Twin Peaks, and was going to watch it. Literally, just a few days ago. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it. I like it a lot, though it is of course one of the great tragedies of film and television that the studio interfered and destroyed the show by forcing Lynch to solve Laura’s murder.

I would like to go back and watch some of his other films. I never understood Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway, but in reading other people comment on these films over the years, I’ve realized you’re not really supposed to understand them. I do think Blue Velvet is a great film, and I really appreciate the aesthetic of Dune, which lines up with the books much better than the new films, and it’s unfortunate Lynch’s Dune film was such a disaster when it could have been great.

Though I appreciate the work, I’m definitely not the biggest fan. What I can say about David Lynch in memoriam is that he is the sort of person you want to have in society, involved in the conversation, because he was a very unique person. I remember back a million years ago hearing him on Alex Jones saying that 9/11 was done by the government. He later came out and said that he was a Democrat but that he couldn’t be a Democrat because they try to stop him from smoking. During Trump’s first term, he said he was the greatest president in history because he was destroying everything. He was obsessed with transcendental meditation and other strange new age things. You need people like this, and unfortunately, our society always sidelines these types of people, as we have a culture that demands uniformity of thought.

As time goes on, more and more interesting people are dying and fewer and fewer are being born. There are very few interesting millennials. Me, Sam Hyde, Moist Critical, that guy from My Chemical Romance, maybe a few others. I’ve never seen any interesting people younger than millennial. They are very feminine retards who say nothing interesting and can’t even make memes. All zoomer memes are just bastardizations of millennial memes. These people are totally devoid of creativity.

People can complain about boomers and they should, but there were a lot of interesting boomers. That’s just a fact. They made a lot of good music and other art. They did a lot of weird things.

So, those are really the messages: smoking is good and it’s a shame all the weird people are gone.

Yesterday, I wrote a fantastic piece about weird director David Lynch endorsing Donald Trump.

Truly an incredible piece of insight, that article.

Trump even retweeted it.

“Director David Lynch: Trump Could Go Down as One of the Greatest Presidents” https://t.co/AcgnIZNh6e

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

Jk, he retweeted the Breitbart article that I cited, but he did it just after I published, meaning he obviously found it here.

NOTE: I can brag about how Trump and his team read the site now - one of the benefits of being blacklisted by the kike media. Btw, I'm gonna write more on the blacklisting and the think tank papers explaining why Daily Stormer is blacklisted (short explanation is that the media is run by such incompetent people that they are incapable of dealing with my mindfuckery), and the positives and negatives of it. But yeah, one positive is that I don't have to hide the fact that Trump reads the site.

Anyway: I’ve more to add on Lynch.

I noted in the piece that it is, in my opinion, extremely pretentious self-aggrandizement to self-identify as a David Lynch fan. You realize though, that people who do this are bugmen. The worst sort. The same kind that ironically listen to Kanye West.

So how must it feel to have a bugman icon like Lynch endorse the evil bad Hitler man?

No idea what that feels like, to be honest.

When people I like do something I do not like, it is very easy for me to say “ah well, he had to do that.”

Even if I’m wrong, and Mel Gibson really and truly is sorry for talking about bitches getting raped by packs of niggers and how Jews started every fucking war in history, I at least have the place in my mind to put it as “he had to say it, too much social pressure, can’t keep his career without saying it.”

But with a bugman icon like Lynch endorsing Trump, it’s the exact opposite.

He is actually risking a huge backlash by endorsing Trump, and he has nothing at all to gain from it.

I can see that really blowing a bugman’s mind.

Will We See Ironic Trump Support Soon?

Trump support and neon-nazism generally is basically ironic.

For most of us – myself included, to be true – it’s “lol I have to believe this because I for some bizarre reason don’t have any choice so I might as well roll with it.”

That is to say, the world has created such absurd conditions, that my belief system is determined by the conditions the world created. I get that most of us eventually evolve beyond the reactionary position into a revolutionary one. But it isn’t really requisite. One can maintain a full and coherent worldview as a reactionary. And it could also be argued that the revolutionary position is in itself reactionary as it is birthed from reactionary instinct.

Anyway, point being: Trump-supporting neon-nazis are ultimately an ironic phenomenon, because none of us expected to become what we are, and we are consciously aware of the absurdity of this.

In short: there is no real difference between an ironic belief and an actual belief. Masking a belief in irony is simply a way for a person to rationalize and ultimately legitimize a belief needed for survival or other personal reasons to themselves and those around them.

This phenomenon is much different than say, antifa, who adopt a pre-packaged belief system that is fed to them by moral authorities, and rigidly follow it because it must be good or the moral authorities wouldn’t have fed it to them. This is why they do not have humor, and we do. They are utterly lacking in self-awareness, because they did not go through any type of intellectual or emotionally complex process to reach the belief. They were told “this is what good people do” and they said “that is what I’ll do then.”

But can hipsters do something similar? Can they become ironic literal neon-nazis? 

The lines are being drawn between the races, and they are being drawn quickly.

This is a rapid development.

Before the Obama years, there was racial tension – there is always racial tension – but there was also a sort of truce between blacks and whites in America. We understood that our neighborhoods – and our social orders – had borders. These borders were sometimes violated, but they nonetheless existed and were understood by all parties to exist.

What Obama did was incite the blacks into a violent race war against white people. He did this on purpose.

At the same time he was inciting the blacks, he was flooding the country with people from everywhere at a rapid, uncontrolled pace. And these newcomers were also incited against white people.

And when whites struck back by electing Donald Trump, it all polarized further.

Ultimately, there is no place for whites on the side of the browns.

It is already happening that “white allies” who go to rallies to support Black Lives Matter get attacked, beaten and robbed, because they are white.

Polarization is real.

It is going to become nonviable for whites to be on the side of nonwhites, and that is just something that these liberals are going to have to figure out a way to deal with.

And I think the “I’m ironically on Team Trump” route is going to be a big in for these people. Because if you’re young, and you go pro-Trump, you pretty much no matter what end up as a far right racial nationalist. That is just the fact. The College Republicans and other youth-oriented GOP groups ensured that when they tried to hold a Paul Ryan cuck “Reagan Battalion” position even after Trump was elected. And the existence of the internet itself ensured that.

This is why this right-wing game needs to remain hip and cool and sexy. It needs to be something that people feel comfortable easing into. We have always maintained that on the internet.

This is yet another reason I am opposed to these protest marches. They are not cool or sexy, they are fucking cringe.

Optics are real. You can say that term is used-up, but whatever term you choose, looking uncool and unsexy and like a bunch of weird peasants playing dress-up is extremely negative, and it does affect the overall image of the far right. And it serves no purpose whatsoever.

LOOK

I do not dislike poor white people. I have lived near them, and found that they had a lot of unmanageable domestic issues and substance abuse problems, but I do not dislike them, necessarily. However, they are a fraction of the white American population. Literally, like 8%. Other 90+% are some form of middle class. And yet, this small percentage of poor whites have been vastly overrepresented at post-Charlottesville rallies, because after Charlottesville, everyone with something to lose was like “wait, wtf is the point of this shit?”

We need to do hearts and minds.

And you are not doing hearts and minds by sending a bunch of obese poor people with tattoos out in black uniforms to fight in the street. You are in fact doing the exact opposite of that.

These post-Charlottesville rallies are masturbation. They are self-aggrandizing for a few individuals who get off on negative public attention.

Certainly, there will some day be marches, there will be rallies, but it will only be a good thing when it is normal people doing it.

Do not be of the mindset that winning is measured by street marches. I know that there is some kind of instinctive drive to view that as a measure of winning, but that simply is not the reality we are living in. We are living in cyberspace, where people’s communication and ideas are not on the streets, but in these tubes. And we continue to rule that space.

We are expanding, even as we are shut down, because every mind we change never changes back. Once you see race, once you see the Jews, you can’t ever go back to not seeing them. The Matrix metaphor is real. You would literally have to erase your mind.

Right now, following the meltdown of Sargon and the skeptics, the ideas of the Alt-Right are now just taken for granted by the entirety of internet culture. It is everywhere you look. That is the measure you need to be looking at when you try to gauge our success.

And we are winning.

All of the mainstream news sites have shut down their comments sections because we dominated them, and the sites that still have them – sites like Fox News and Breitbart – are filled with comments about race and Jews.

Trump is winning too, and though our agenda is not exactly the same as his, we are tied together somewhat intimately – his success is good for us and our success is good for him.

Everything is going very, very well.

We got sidetracked with some weird shit last year, but it isn’t 2017 anymore.

And to be clear – all of that stuff had to happen. It was bound to happen. It was part of the process. But we simply need to make a point to learn from it.

It’s sad that Richard Spencer appears to be in a dark place, but his personal situation is not indicitive of the larger situation of the right. The two biggest far-right websites, Daily Stormer and The Right Stuff, are growing every month. Despite being the most censored publication in all of human history (as a result of Charlottesville, by the way), the Daily Stormer has more readers than ever before.

4chan is actually pretty good these days. YouTube and Twitter appear to be backing down from censorship, as government regulation looms. Top government officials are speaking out against censorship of the right on the internet.

Everything is looking very, very good. By every single measure.

It is all going according to plan.

Just relax.

David Lynch is for sure a weird guy.

Whenever I hear someone cite him as one of their favorite directors, I automatically know that this person is attempting to make himself (more often herself, probably) appear more interesting and intelligent and deep than they actually are.

If someone says that to me, I’m like “oh yeah? I’m more of a John Woo guy, myself.”

But I digress.

Let’s talk instead about the thing he said… then maybe we’ll talk a little bit more about him.

Breitbart:

Veteran filmmaker David Lynch believes President Donald Trump could be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in American history because of the way he has shaken up the political establishment.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian, Lynch admitted to supporting Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary, before supporting Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in the presidential election. However, he now appears to believe that Trump may have been the right choice.

“I am not really a political person, but I really like the freedom to do what you want to do,” Lynch explained. “[Trump] could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.”

“Our so-called leaders can’t take the country forward, can’t get anything done,” the Oscar-nominated director said. “Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this.”

So okay, wow.

Those are either some super-deep and meaningful comments… or just obvious statements that any person could make if they had the balls.

The entire interview is worth reading. He is definitely weird. Whether or not he is deep, I do not know. I would assume that he is. Because it takes some manner of depth to have balls.

And there is also a possible interpretation of his films where they are not actually pretentious films, but simply adopted by pretentious people as fake favorites because of their bizarre nature.

Let me just say: I do not think he sucks. I think he has made some good stuff. However, I also do not believe he is legitimately anyone’s favorite director, and anyone who makes that claim is signaling.

Blue Velvet is a legitimately good movie.

But it is also legitimately weird.

It is as weird as a film can be without being too weird to be enjoyable, and his post-Blue Velvet films were, in my opinion, too weird to be enjoyable.

I did like the original Twin Peaks very much as well.

However, I turned on the first episode of the new season and was like “oh fuck you” and turned it off 15 minutes in. Too weird to be enjoyable.

The Dune movie he did… well, I don’t really want to go into that now. I’ve been rereading the Dune books, and that will be followed by a rewatching of the Dune movie (and the Sci-Fi Channel series of films) and writing about it all here on the Daily Stormer.

I will just say that I think the aesthetic of the film was very good, he definitely got that, and I know that the Jew producers were messing with him so much that he refused to even put his name on the film as it was released, so I can’t blame him for the problems with the narrative, necessarily, while still giving him credit for imagery that is very true to the book.

Overall, I’m glad he’s around.

I’m not really surprised he made these comments about Trump. It’s something he would do. Again, it’s just a basic, simple observation, and it is more a lack of inhibition that allows someone to say it. And he is a creative type – whatever you think of his creations, they are inspired by something – and he genuinely appears to not give a shit.

He is not concerned about being a Hollywood big shot. He had opportunities to do that, and instead chose to make bizarre films that don’t make any sense to anyone and promote Transcendental Meditation.

I mean, he goes on Alex Jones. And apparently listens to his show. While refusing to watch Hollywood movies.

I don’t know how that transcendental shit is working out though, really.

He’s been married four times. And made movies that make no sense, ostensibly on purpose.

You know Alan Watts died of liver cancer, right?

Some mystic. Mystical drunk. All drunks are mystical drunks. Never met one who wasn’t. Don’t need any Eastern philosophy for that.

David Lynch however is not to my knowledge a drunk.

And he sure does have great hair.

Wow.

He’s ethnically Finnish by the way, which may in some part explain why he is so depressive and weird.

I like Schopenhauer as much as any neon-nazi, but just in general, this Eastern mystic stuff seems like a waste of life-energy. We have our own solid history of spiritualism in the West. Which I guess is the difference with Schopenhauer – he was more interested in making connections between Western and Eastern worldviews. And there was this struggle going on at the time to deal with the… Semitic… aspects of Christianity.

Furthermore, Schopenhauer was mostly just a good writer. Hegel probably had better ideas. But the latter is… very difficult reading.

Point Being

I know you’re all wondering now: is John Woo really my favorite director?

That is more of an answer I give to people who tell me that David Lynch or Tim Burton or Darren Aronofsky is their favorite director. Or to anyone who is pretentious enough to tell me they have a favorite director at all, for that matter.

But I like John Woo a lot. And John Carpenter. And Clint Eastwood. Especially Clint Eastwood.

As the regular reader knows, I’m a big John Hughs guy too.

If someone backed me against a wall and made me make a pretentious “I’m an interesting person, see” pick, I’d have to go with Sam Peckinpah.

That poor bastard maybe could have used a bit of Eastern mysticism.

He definitely made some shit films. But he made some very good ones.

And The Wild Bunch – cliche or not – is still and always will be the best Western ever made, period.
