Alright, time to effort-post.

I’m not impressed. The video starts with “these ideas are seductive and on the evil side of morality”. It doesn’t actually discuss what the Dark Enlightenment believe beyond “Liberal Enlightenment bad”. They do name drop Nietzsche, Spengler, Land, and Moldbug but they don’t actually give any context. They do their usually schtick of conflating critiques and rejections of the trajectory of the status quo with being as bad as the Left. Sargon seems to believe that in aspiring to topple/replace the status quo, there is a chaotic reversion back to Viking barbarism. For instance, Sargon points out that there is no line of legitimacy for a hypothetical NRx Royalist Monarch so Sargon suggests that there should be gladiator fights for the crown, as if Moldbug didn’t offer a few different governing models. They then tried to pin the Dark Enlightenment to Fuentes and the Groypers to the Order of the Nine Angles (a semi-criminal Occultist Satanic terrorist group). All this to say: this video is gay.

This is an open invitation to Sargon to actually read Nick Land’s The Dark Enlightenment.
‘Meltdown’ (1996) Nick Land

‘Industrial machines are deployed to dismantle the actuality of the proletariat, displacing it in the direction of cyborg hybridization, and realizing the plasticity of labor power"
When only tolerance is tolerable, and everyone (who matters) accepts this manifestly nonsensical formula as not only rationally intelligible, but as the universally-affirmed principle of modern democratic faith, nothing except politics remains.

This was pointed out to me in my latest interview with Adam Katz, but one way you can tell that you are being fed a caricature is when the supposed refutation of a theory tells you nothing about the theory's contents.

Compare this video to what Carl does when he goes through the literature on critical race theory. He pours over their works. He combs it for details. He cites them and refutes them point by point.

Here, he just throws out a few names and starts condemning some vaguely evil thing, refuting them by associating it with both Nick Fuentes and a Satanic terrorist cult and then saying "There is no Stuart monarchy lol!"

There are plenty of critiques you could aim at the Dark Enlightenment - its Hobbesian approach to politics, its question-begging assertions about theology, its tendency to sacrifice clear messaging for nonsense, etc. But that would require having an ounce of intellectual honesty, a foreign concept to Carl Benjamin and the Lotus Eaters crowd.
