Book thread

They aren't… entirely. Just the post-68 shit.
I'd recommend Le Bon's "The Crowd":
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crowd:_A_Study_of_the_Popular_Mind

...

Also Schopenhauer's "On Women":
ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/s/schopenhauer/arthur/essays/chapter5.html

...

Two books on crowd psychology and 'psychological authoritarianism'; these explain why democracy is a sham and give some essential insight on human nature.

Gustave le Bon's The Crowd explains how masses operate and how all big historical changes have happened because certain influences managed to change the ideas of masses. It's somewhat philosophical and dense. Essential to understand history and, nowadays, the outbreak of leftist rampage.

Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarians gives a more scientific and contemporary account on authoritarian personality. (This is not the same thing expoused by Marxist-shill Adorno)
While he focuses on American conservatives, he explains clearly that 'conservatism does NOT equal authoritarianism,' that there are also authoritarians on the left, (he uses Soviets as example of left-wing authoritarians). Very, very good reading on why lefties are so blind to clear facts and why they hold their beliefs like they were some holy relics. Just don't get triggered by his conservatism-bashing, the studies and scientific findings themselves are valid.

Nothing wrong with Wojak Schopenhauer. Guy was the original Alpha NEET.

...

I think Jung is pretty good for psychology.

Wew laddie, don't even touch that shit if you're not willing to read through at least 5-6 highly literary works. Some of it can be very obtuse and it's not for everybody. You start with the Greeks.

One of my favorite psychology books is Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Only thing that pisses me off about it is how self-important the author is, as he constantly reminds how 'special' his friendship with this other guy was and how 'special' it was for him to study the unconscious.

How's the Letters? You read "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by William B. Irvine?

he sounds like a special snowflake

no it did not you fag

history iz a must wtf

Read the Roman annals tbh, shit like Tacitus

I'd argue that America needs the radical right for cleansing and then we can institute traditionalism. There's no was to have traditionalism with niggers, spics, arabs and jews meddling around.

*no way
ffs

Reminder Dawkins was a butthurt faggot that lost an argument to Hitchens and couldn't get over it.

This book is one of the biggest unintentional redpills I've ever taken. It's about human behavior in relation to sex and basically explains scientifically why all women are huge fucking sluts and men are better than them at pretty much everything. I can't recommend this book enough. It will give you all the ammunition you could ever need to BTFO any feminist you encounter.

...

I would have sworn I called OP a nigger

Ugh, Dawkins? It was like a baby's book. So fucking condescending. Art of the Deal I read when I was… 12/13. Rand is good. Learn it so you can trigger all sorts of dumb American faggots.

hehehe see what I mean? This dumb fuck is some statist piece of shit at best. Government is his daddy and not just because his mom fucked a nigger who ran off. This type of loser will go along with Commie shit based on a Jewtube video.

In that case, you can't see much and it's assholes like you, why we have Mohammad and Jose in the country among other problems.

quoting random posts so mods can't disappear my posts so easily

When it comes to red pills and sex, the big three are The Selfish Gene, The Red Queen, and Sperm Wars. You gotta watch out with Sperm Wars, though. It can make you paranoid, which is obviously counterproductive.

I'm reading the Hermetic Tradition by Evola. Once you get about sixty pages in and get the vocabulary, it becomes real talk, very readable.

Sperm Wars as a theory is quite interesting (I don't recall the book that well though, is that the one where it's lame little stories to describe?) My original reply mentions Human Sperm Competition, probably fairly deleted for shitposting.

It all makes sense logically if you think of people as animals, the evidence behind it is not great but the rebuttals to it are much worse. I would caution anyone against paying attention to his fictional extrapolations because Baker tends to put everyone in what we would consider nigger-tier r-selected territory.

And if I had to guess, cuck-fetishists beware.

I was looking into that and then ended up grabbing pic related instead. From the back:

-General David Patraeus

He sold me on it.

It labeled memes, but it didn't create them.

Is this the best you can bait?
