Dark Pluralism

[prime]

Pluralism asserts that reality lacks an absolute, universal, and objectively binding "truth" and therefore we allow many truth-visions in parallel at the same time, producing a liberalized, individualistic politics based on tolerance:

pluralism, in political science, the view that in liberal democracies power is (or should be) dispersed among a variety of economic and ideological pressure groups and is not (or should not be) held by a single elite or group of elites. Pluralism assumes that diversity is beneficial to society and that autonomy should be enjoyed by disparate functional or cultural groups within a society, including religious groups, trade unions, professional organizations, and ethnic minorities.

Dark Pluralism takes this further and asserts a negation of universal truths, values, and communications; the best we can do instead is not to tolerate but to accept each other as having not just different viewpoints but different perceptions related to who we are (intelligence, genetics:class-race-ethnicity-mutations, sex, age, experience) and therefore, we need a society where any viewpoint can be expressed.

In a Dark Pluralist society, Rabbis and Nazis walk the same streets. The Klan and the Black Panthers have dialogues. Christians and Buddhists converse. We are each islands of ourselves, with our own beliefs, and form tribes which are not expected to like each other. In fact, it is expected that conflicts will occur, but Dark Pluralism states that in the interest of mutual benefit we accept each other.

This rejects any moral standard, including Dark Pluralism itself. Unlike all ideologies, Dark Pluralism incorporates its critics and does not seek to silence them. In fact, it seeks to silence no one. People need to confront the conflict at the core of humanity, nature, and even mathematics. People need to be able to be hated, called ethnic slurs, told to kill themselves, and other offensive and upsetting things. This is a form of maturity and wisdom that enables open-mindedness

In the case of this study, the alternative ecosystem that was born from an attempt to find spaces of expression not subject to regulation and censorship did not generate an information environment based on all the same information and positions.

In a Dark Pluralist forum, nothing is true and everything is permitted (with a caveat that illegal things like CSAM, doxing, and threats against specific individuals made as encouragement to those who are likely to carry them out or by an individual who intends and can carry them out, are prohibited for practical reasons). Enter into the realm of humanity once we get over our fetish for one-size-fits-all systems.

The problem I have [with this and all Utopian thinking] is that it is voluntaryist. That is, you expect everyone to act against their own interests in order to possess a society of tolerance, when they would rather use intolerance and complaining to vault themselves over others.

Culture is voluntaryist but needs leaders, both war-leaders and eugenics-leaders, to keep those who uphold it and yeet those who damage it, ignoring everyone in the middle.

Example in real life:

We had hard-core socialists and hard-core conservatives at the dining room table, from the left to the right and everything in between, and over the roast or pastichio and later fruit, coffee, maybe galaktoboureko, we'd talk about everything. From history to the wars in the news, even to parakeets and The Twilight Zone and student protests and blue jeans at school.

We'd crowd around the dining room table and everyone—even kids—were expected to participate. We could think and say anything with respect, no matter the topic.

The only thing we couldn't do was act like a snowflake and demand others be silenced. We were Americans. We were free.

Letter to the White House, in which we satirize pluralism without its dark component:

Following Karl Popper, I believe the only way to beat intolerance is mandatory tolerance, which means not just acceptance but participation. All of America must be sodomized and sodomize freely. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Dark Pluralism is two men walking down a street. As they pass a dumpster they notice two other men sodomizing each other.

"Hey faggot!" they call out.

"Fuck you!" the others call out.

They all laugh and continue on their own individual paths to be judged only by nature.
