@Wood-Ape - OK/MN He's bronzeagemantis

book changed my life

Thank you.

It's quite good. I stole louis from NY's copy lol.

doubled my deadlift

I read BAP's book. It's garbage, but it's a half-decent meme

About 3/4 way through, go back to it after reading other stuff. Slowly plotting my way through.

how's it garbage?

I’m pretty sure BAP is gay

eh, it's a mixture between pop-sociology and psychology, but I find it surprisingly profound at times.

BAP is not gay, @DixieBoy76 - KY

well, uh, for one thing BAP's organization is awful, his writing is all over the place, and it clearly never got edited

My bad.

I had heard he was

that was the point, rules are stoopid

for another BAP's comments are repeats of what people have said for a little while now

yes, well, BAP's breaking them makes him sound like an idiot

He's been accused of that by others in the past, but it's baseless. @DixieBoy76 - KY

the problem is that in tweet form it works, but in 78 pages it's a bit much

What do the police car emojis mean on my comment?

Did I violate a rule?

_if_ the book was meant to be satire, it's brilliant

i hate all the stupid rules for writing, no reason at all to follow them

Not exactly. We're a secular organization, so quoting a bible verse to members who might be agnostic or Pagan won't really mean much to them. @DixieBoy76 - KY

@DixieBoy76 - KY We try to stay away from religious discussion on the server.

My apologies

Won’t let it happen again

in any case: Jack Donovan makes many of the same arguments as BAP and sometimes the _exact_ same arguments as BAP: the anti-feminism arguments, the ones about "man is a producer", the anti-modernism

It's fine in the right context.

@DixieBoy76 - KY I don't care much, just giving a subtle nudge to be careful what you're posting in <#481597551272001546>.

i loved the part about Alcibiades, Bob Denard, and the other pirate like people

@Salo Saloson so your main critique is his style and the fact that some of the book feels derivative.

there's one or two more, but sure

That's fair.

I have BAP book. It is next on queue after Tucker's

I disagree, but I see why you would feel that way.

you're in for a trip, Ape

I liked most of bap before the bap content got very saturated

BAP book was good for sparking an interest a paradigm different than the one we have now

Whatever that may be
