@Skellington do you like Ray Bradbury

2020-01-25 17:06:55 UTC  

I've read 2 books by him i believe

2020-01-25 17:07:04 UTC  

Dark they were and golden eyed

2020-01-25 17:07:11 UTC  

And dandillion wine

2020-01-25 17:07:46 UTC  

Dandillion wine was boring

2020-01-25 17:08:02 UTC  

Dtwage was interesting

2020-01-25 17:08:31 UTC  

I’m reading Fahrenheit 451 at the moment

2020-01-25 17:10:06 UTC  

Ah yes

2020-01-25 17:10:13 UTC  

That's a pretty based book

2020-01-25 17:15:09 UTC  

The actual story is like 100 pages but my copy includes like 140 pages of extra information

2020-01-26 06:43:51 UTC  

That's such a tedious book. I can't recommend even though it's in the dystopian canon. Short, but tedious.

2020-01-26 06:44:54 UTC  

I personally like his short stories more than Fahrenheit tbh

2020-01-26 16:41:21 UTC  

Anyone read β€œthe problem of pain” by cs Lewis?

2020-02-01 21:46:44 UTC  

The red book by Carl jung is a great read

2020-02-04 02:20:53 UTC  

The Aeneid, by request from @Canadian Man

like Harassment architecture but 2019 and looking towards Zoomers instead of wingnats and looking back

2020-02-27 12:26:23 UTC  

reads like the best takes of your twitter feed two years from now

Audiobook for the Machiavellians: defenders of freedom by james burnham. it really gels with Nrx theory. he sums up the wiritngs of Machiavelli and the Italian elite theorists.

2020-03-06 07:05:03 UTC  

Nice. I just finished The Prince and The Discourses a few weeks ago and it's difficult to come to any one conclusion of what he actually advocated, so it'll be cool hearing a redpilled take. Thanks for sharing.

2020-03-06 07:08:06 UTC  

@Norik yes he goes over that and gives context to the political situation of Italy at the time . Machiavelli wanted a republic but saw at that point in time Italy needed a sort of dictator or prince

2020-03-06 07:08:45 UTC  

yeah that's what my professor said when I asked him what he actually thought

2020-03-06 07:08:56 UTC  

he's a total boomercon though so idk

2020-03-06 07:09:35 UTC  

i just got to the part where he talks about the iron law of oligarchy and how you cannot remove hierarchy

2020-03-06 07:09:39 UTC  

also nice fake offline <:scowl:267481153777172481>

2020-03-06 07:10:23 UTC  

yeah I think what makes machiavelli deeply resonate with me is that he's not full of ideological bullshit and realizes that even his desired form of government isn't always appropriate

2020-03-06 07:10:39 UTC  

his central orienting principle is O R D E R

2020-03-06 07:10:46 UTC  

which is exactly right

2020-03-06 07:11:09 UTC  

james burnham also has another repill book where he talks about how liberalism is causing the suicide of the west in his book "the suicide of the west"

2020-03-06 07:11:25 UTC  

edgy

2020-03-06 07:11:28 UTC  

sounds dank

2020-03-06 07:12:01 UTC  

AA released some clips from the audio book

2020-03-06 07:12:24 UTC  

also ive heard alot of shilling for burnham from AA and from other people

2020-03-06 07:12:41 UTC  

so seeing these clips finally pushed me over the edge to start reading them
