Any Forums absolutely BTFO

holy shit, after the previous thread where I quoted how Reich totally assblasts the retarded fascist longings of Any Forums by pointing out that it's literally because they are incels (or as he puts it, "orgastically impotent"), I started reading his book, "The Mass Psychology of Fascism", and it's pretty hilarious just how hard he destroys, to the point of mockery, the psychological neuroses that lead people to embrace laughable bullshit like fascism

yawn. nice try tho

>Perception of sexual desire excluded and orgasm precluded, mystical excitation is forced to effect a permanent change in the biopsychic apparatus. The sexual act itself is experienced as something degrading. There is never a complete natural experience. The warding off of orgastic desire forces the ego to form compulsive conceptions of ‘purity’ and ‘perfection’. Healthy sensuousness and the ability to gratify one’s desires produces natural self-confidence. The defensive formations in the mystical man result in a pathological self-confidence that is rotten at the core. Just as the self-confidence of the nationalist, the self-confidence of the mystical man is drawn from the defensive attitudes. Even on the surface, however, the self-confidence of the mystical man differs from the self-confidence that derives from natural genital gratification. The former is exaggerated, lacks naturalness in behaviour, and is characterized by feelings of sexual inferiority. This explains why the man who has been inculcated with mystical or nationalistic ‘ethics’ is so accessible to political reactionary catchwords, such as honour, purity, etc. He is continually forced to remind himself to be honourable and pure. The genital character is spontaneously pure and honourable - he does not have to be constantly reminded.

>In this particular work Reich has applied his clinical knowledge of human character structure to the social and political scene. He firmly repudiates the notion that fascism is the ideology or action of a single individual or nationality; or of any ethnic or political group. He also denies a purely socio-economic explanation as advanced by Marxian ideologists. He understands fascism as the expression of the irrational character structure of the average human being whose primary, biological needs and impulses have been suppressed for thousands of years. The social function of this suppression and the crucial role played in it by the authoritarian family and the church are carefully analysed. Reich shows how every form of organized mysticism, including fascism, relies on the unsatisfied orgastic longing of the masses.
typical incel detected
people like you are the subject of Reich's mockery

>This biologic rigidity is essentially manifested in a general stiffening of the organism and in a demonstrable reduction of plasmatic mobility: Intelligence is impaired; the natural social sense is blocked; psychosis is rampant. I gave a thorough exposition of the facts that support this assertion in The Function of the Orgasm. So-called civilized man actually did become angular and mechanical, and he lost his spontaneity, i.e., he developed into an automaton and ‘brain machine’. Thus, he not only believes that he functions as a machine, but he actually does function automatically, mechanistically and mechanically. He lives, loves, hates and thinks more and more mechanically. With his biological stiffening and the loss of his native function of self-regulation, he acquired all the characterological attitudes, which culminated in the outbreak of the dictatorship plague: a hierarchical view of the state, a mechanical administration of society, fear of responsibility, an intense longing for a fuhrer and craving for authority, insistence upon commands, mechanistic thinking in natural science, mechanical killing in war. It is no coincidence that the Platonic idea of the state was born in the Greek slave society. Nor is it a coincidence that it has continued to exist into the present day: serfdom was replaced by inner slavery.
>The question of the fascist plague has led us deeply into man’s biologic organization. It relates to a development that goes back thousands of years, and not, as those who view society in purely economic terms believed, to the imperialistic interests of the past two hundred years or even past twenty years.

here Reich savagely destroys the typical anti-scientific mindset of the average incel fascist:
>The biblical legend of the creation of man as an image of God, of his dominion over the animals, clearly reflects the repressive action man carried out against his animal nature. But he is reminded of his true nature every day by his body functions, procreation, birth and death, sexual urge and dependency upon nature. His efforts to fulfil his ‘divine’ or ‘national’ ‘calling’ become more, and more strenuous; the deeply rooted hatred of all genuine natural sciences, i.e., sciences that are not concerned with the construction of machines, stems from this source. It took several thousand years before a Darwin succeeded in unmistakably proving man’s animal descendancy. It took just as long until a Freud discovered the fact, banal as it is that the child is altogether, and above all, sexual. And what a fuss the animal, man, made when he heard such things!

this reminds me of something similar Tsarion wrote in a classic article:

michaeltsarion.com/schopenhauerrsquos-error.html

>«As Heidegger and Spengler show, the societies man labors to establish in turn transform the individual. In effect he becomes an anti-individual - a mere "subject" whose consciousness is little more than a social pastiche.

>From within his urban gulag, the subject keeps the abjected forces of nature at bay. Recast as a busy, engaged participant in city-life, Das Man quickly attaches himself to other people with similar ideas and intentions. To maintain the facade, he and his fellows constantly concoct this or that all-important project to absorb their minds and energies. Deafened by the cacophony of their myriad enterprises and tasks - their science and technology - they've no time to address their inauthenticity and infatuation with nonsense.

>The urbanized subject preoccupies himself by decorating his prison. The results of his industry - of the collectivized Will-to-Power - are seen all around us in the form of the many hierarchies, clubs, groups, cliques, parties and mass movements. And should Das Man one day find himself bereft of "meaning," he can always seek solace in a suitable made-to-order religion expounding yet more anti-natural supernatural propaganda.»

it's funny how there's a zillion threads about totally unpolitical subjects, but a thread to actually discuss the psychological problems underlying fascism gets zero response
says more than enough about exactly what Reich is pointing out

>Perception of sexual desire excluded and orgasm precluded,
yes very political....
