At end of the day it’s something the msm would not have brought up voluntarily

2019-01-07 03:18:04 UTC  

Oy! Hit me with your best book suggestions for a book discussion group.

2019-01-07 03:19:07 UTC

-Why We Fight
-Dedication and Leadership
-5th Political Theory
-Culture of Critique

2019-01-07 03:19:29 UTC

2019-01-07 03:19:34 UTC  

Another book group??

2019-01-07 03:19:43 UTC  

No, it's a former blog

2019-01-07 03:19:44 UTC  

the fifth one is just saying white people be insular nomads

2019-01-07 03:19:49 UTC  

I compiled selected readings of it

2019-01-07 03:20:03 UTC  

No, not really.

2019-01-07 03:20:04 UTC  

But ok

2019-01-07 03:20:16 UTC  

“The Culture of Narcissism” Christopher Lasch

“Suicide of the West” and “The Managerial Revolution” James Burnham

2019-01-07 03:20:25 UTC  

This is for our local community in Austin

2019-01-07 03:20:28 UTC  

would it be more polite to call it "become like the Jews"

2019-01-07 03:20:56 UTC  

I will refrain from dignifying that with a response

2019-01-07 03:21:05 UTC  

I just finished listening on audible to Thomas Sowells black red necks white liberals if you want something a bit challenging of our views

2019-01-07 03:21:40 UTC  

@Alex Kolchak - NY what is “The Culture of Narcissism” Christopher Lasch about?

2019-01-07 03:21:54 UTC  

I could comfortably challenge the chapter on the Jewish people but most of it is about how whites aren’t uniquely evil

2019-01-07 03:21:54 UTC  

You think it's useful/enlightening? An interesting read?

2019-01-07 03:22:22 UTC  

Interesting. I think most people in the group know we aren't evil. haha

2019-01-07 03:24:06 UTC  

The title refers to how ghetto blacks inherited a redneck culture from southern whites and scots. He makes the caveat that if that hadn’t happened there’d be no guarantee of black success on the level of whites since IQ is a thing but blacks shouldn’t be convinced their ghetto culture is a black thing

2019-01-07 03:25:36 UTC  

I think it could be discussed seriously to give guidance and not just “hey guys read this and have fun.” Guided slower discussion of each chapter to give a bit more context to some of his points is needed

2019-01-07 03:25:47 UTC  

it deals with the increasing lack of meaning in American life starting in the 1970s. I think many of the issues Lasch identifies (bureaucracy, loss of identity, consumerism) are interesting to the dissident right, and it’s very insightful even as a “normie” book

2019-01-07 03:26:32 UTC  

Oh you weren’t taking to me lol 😅

2019-01-07 03:27:05 UTC  

Interesting! I will add that to the suggestion list, thanks Alex!

2019-01-07 03:27:53 UTC  

no problem. It’s fairly well-known but under-read in my opinion. It’s a bit dated since it was written in the 70s, but a lot of it is just as relevant now

2019-01-07 03:28:01 UTC  

That is certainly unusual, but I kind of like things like that personally @VinceChaos. Just not sure how interested others in the group would be

2019-01-07 03:28:15 UTC  

a disturbing amount of it, I’d say

2019-01-07 03:30:06 UTC  

I did enjoy it but it challenged me so I took my time with it. Maybe it’s a bit more of a personal read

2019-01-07 03:30:21 UTC  

And I mean I took my sweet ass time

2019-01-07 03:30:30 UTC  

I am gonna cruise through white identity

2019-01-07 03:51:25 UTC  

@Alex Kolchak - NY 4th political theory is a combination of communism and fascism
5th political theory is communism, fascism and liberalism

2019-01-07 03:51:48 UTC  

6th political theory is communism, fascism, liberalism , and libertarianism

2019-01-07 03:52:31 UTC

The 6th political theory is where you have a homogeneous society with strong borders that organizes workers into interest groups to redistribute the wealth and the seize the means of productions while also allowing to have gay marriage and guns

2019-01-07 03:54:20 UTC  

woke

2019-01-07 03:54:27 UTC  

and based

2019-01-07 03:54:30 UTC  

and redpilled

2019-01-07 03:54:42 UTC  

that's unironically pretty close to my political views

2019-01-07 03:54:49 UTC  

Sounds like Richard Spencer

2019-01-07 03:55:37 UTC  

I support
> nationalism
> some left wing economics
> not necessarily gay marriage, but I don't wanna outright oppress them or anything
> gun rights

2019-01-07 03:55:55 UTC  

I'm literally a 6th political theorist
