Social media, Netflix, TV, movies... that's for human garbage.

Read books to improve your life. Not garbage grocery store romance novels or best-selling pleb shit, but important books. No scifi or fantasy escapist trash either. Read books that make you think.

What kind of books have you read lately? What kinds of books do you like?

Here are some books I like:
1984
Brave New World
Fahrenheit 451
Amusing Ourselves to Death
Society of the Spectacle
Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media
Can Life Prevail?
Propaganda
Walden
Th Ego and Its Own
Authority and the Individual
The Machine Stops
Technological Slavery
Crime and Punishment
The Collapse of Western Civilization

Books I plan on reading:
Animal Farm
The Will to Power
The Degenerate Society: Postmodernism And How You Can Oppose It
The Panopticon Writings
Beyond Good and Evil
The Decline of the West
Why Nations Fail
Revolt Against the Modern World
Democracy: The God That Failed
Men Among the Ruins: Post-War Reflections of a Radical Traditionalist

I read a lot of programming books too, though you'll notice that I didn't list any here. Even though it's the industry I'm in, I can't help but feel like tech is soulless bugman shit that is accelerating the rise of degeneracy in the west.

Ideologically-driven books are the most captivating. They're the kinds of books that make you want to read them cover to cover.

But enough about my taste in books. So what do you like? And what would you recommend reading?

I recommend reading Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen, it's pretty much the ultimate kike book very jewy.

Isn't it a failure of the pdf-reading software that it allows embedding anything beyond images and latex... wtf

Create a new format, drop to plain text, or just don't read. By sandbox I mean one you yourself have implemented, of course. You load the file's data into ram and then check for vectors with a regex, or something. I dunno, depends on the format, but it isn't rocket science. The more you rely on others the more vulnerable you become.

You just need to isolate the allowed interactions. Ofc you'll need to know the format's details if you want to vet it. Reverse engineering sucks, but I'm sure there are open specs out there.

Unicode allows some really neat ASCII art(or Unicode art) plus now it has tons of symbols and emoji. Plain text isn't that plain anymore.

The Castle.

Some brainlets find The Castle to be a tough slog, so one can try reading Keep the Aspidistra Flying as a more accessible alternative. This book is written in a very similar style to The Castle but doesn't suffer from the numerous coherence issues that book does.

Neat, I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

the coherence issues make it seem more labyrinthine. confusing and oppressive. which is the point

Name: Anonymous 2018-07-13 7:42

The big problem with most versions of The Castle is too much editing in he translation process, so be sure to choose an English language version that tries to represent the original unfinished manuscript. But The Castle is extremely Kafkaesque so be prepared for cloistered oppressed writing, people usually recommend reading The Trial first as it is less viscerally Kafkaesque and serves as an introduction.

I like to read:

The Raven of Zurich
https://8ch.net/pdfs/res/7463.html

But but but... still too much other books to read. Hopefully in the future.

Don't know if the link is legal. So... here is a link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Raven-Zurich-Memoirs-Felix-Somary/dp/0312664079

Felix Somary, known as "The Raven of Zurich" for his dire but accurate predictions of the future, led a life of action as banker, social thinker, diplomat and relentless battler for the integrity of currencies as the key to democratic survival
the key to democratic survival
Why do people think democracy is a good thing? Have you even met the average person? Most people are fucking stupid and don't deserve to vote. Authoritarianism led by people who know what the fuck they're doing is the best system.

>>101 But who is going to decide who are capable for leadership ?

Was Hitler capable ? Or did he miss the critical function of free speech, democracy and free press ? Arthur Andersen was the biggest most renowned consultancy agency in the world with the smartest people working there. It does not exist anymore.

No he didn't. Look into the National Socialism platform. The book burning and crushing of the press was specifically because the country was being plundered by foreigners who had taken over the media and were publishing disgusting books about how to turn children into transsexuals and explicitly trying to ruin the social fabric of germany to steal its wealth. But once that shit was gotten rid of, national socialism was meant to transition into a localized free market economy where one had choice and freedom of expression / access to discussions and arguments within reason. Obviously Hitler didn't support 100% unfettered "free speech" because that is a stupid position to take, you need to protect kids from pedos and kike doctors who want to turn them into trannies. Stop being a pseud, redditfag.

Democrats are actively subverting the voting system by mass-importing people who are guaranteed to vote for them. This is like a hack of the current election system.

Imagine if there was an online poll and someone just used VPNs and Tor to add more votes to their side. That's basically what this is.

>>105 Suppose AI would have voting rights. You could simple spawn more votes with spawning more threads. The vote would be decided by those who could spawn the most threads.

Or how about we just get rid of voting altogether and have a right-wing ecological authoritarian government?

Libertarian don't-tread-on-me sovereign citizen/minarchist types are just dudebros who wanna smoke weed and not pay taxes. They don't care about important issues like community or nationalism.

You think thats even absurd?
Russian Civil war featured Revolutionary Libertarian Anarcho-Socialist National Monarchists. They're were pretty much mainstream(they didn't call themselves like that of course), as White Army didn't want to reintroduce tsars back as absolute rulers and most people wanted deep reforms - however while White Movement was hostile to any ideas communism, Revolutionary SR's were quite welcome and had popular peasant support.
It had an appearance totally alien to constitutional monarchy, a hybrid ideology with elements of popular democratic ideas(promoted by communists, socialists and social-democrats) were merged with monarchist national-conservative ideals of "great Russia" led by Tsars.
