The university is investigating reports that a student found a hollowed-out book containing materials associated with the anti-democratic “Dark Enlightenment” movement in the school library.
The forms in the manila envelopes asked users to list their availability, choose objectives such as "spread messaging" and "brotherhood," and list their interested topics from options including "post-democracy, nationalism, Alternative Right, Cultural Marxism" and Dark Enlightenment terms such as "HBD" and "The Cathedral."
For followers of the Dark Enlightenment movement, human biodiversity or HBD, is the belief that social hierarchies are determined "not by culture or opportunity" but by DNA, Vocativ reported in its detailed article on the movement. HBD adherents believe that racial inequality, differences in IQs and academic achievements can be attributed to genetic factors.
"The Cathedral is a complex ideology network built atop the university system, the media (run and operated by graduates of the former) and employees of the bureaucracy, all of whom grow ever more dependent on the perpetuation of the Cathedral," Nick Land, one of the Dark Enlightenment's proponents, told Vocativ.
The student said that all except one of the manila envelopes had the forms in it.
He said that he did not report the book to university officials because it wasn't a hate crime or vandalism. "It's not a hate crime right off the bat," the student said. "But it's kind of weird and disturbing, these terms are not good things."
