The Tumblr post is a comment on commercial media engaging in the sanewashing of reality.
What is that title you added though? Seems to suggest that the Trump entourage immanentizing the Eschaton right now is somehow comparable to anything Democrats have to offer. If so, why?
"Mmm yes. Shallow, and pedantic."
How did you reach that conclusion about my comment?
I truly think that the title says something completely different than the Tumblr post does.
Considering it's in quotes, I somewhat suspect it's a sarcastic response meaning they didn't understand what they were replying to, as that is the context behind where the quote comes from.
So you're saying it's a response to the meme itself? If so, I am puzzled as to what it's supposed to mean.
I think this is what they were confused by. The quote they said was from Family Guy where Peter doesn't know what "shallow and pedantic" means, and repeats it after someone says something using other big words he doesn't understand.
Now I see. What I meant was (as Wikipedia helpfully translates) "hastening the apocalypse".
Wikipedia also helpfully includes a paragraph that explains where I know the expression from:
You may notice that there's a plotline similarity here between the book and the US under Vance's/Thiel's accelerationism ideology as well the Silicon Valley obsession with eternal life.
