wait we’re up to 5 political theories now? Dugin btfo
Another book group??
No, it's a former blog
the fifth one is just saying white people be insular nomads
I compiled selected readings of it
No, not really.
But ok
“The Culture of Narcissism” Christopher Lasch
“Suicide of the West” and “The Managerial Revolution” James Burnham
This is for our local community in Austin
would it be more polite to call it "become like the Jews"
I will refrain from dignifying that with a response
I just finished listening on audible to Thomas Sowells black red necks white liberals if you want something a bit challenging of our views
@Alex Kolchak - NY what is “The Culture of Narcissism” Christopher Lasch about?
I could comfortably challenge the chapter on the Jewish people but most of it is about how whites aren’t uniquely evil
You think it's useful/enlightening? An interesting read?
Interesting. I think most people in the group know we aren't evil. haha
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
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
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
Oh you weren’t taking to me lol 😅
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
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
a disturbing amount of it, I’d say
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
And I mean I took my sweet ass time
I am gonna cruise through white identity
@Alex Kolchak - NY 4th political theory is a combination of communism and fascism
5th political theory is communism, fascism and liberalism
6th political theory is communism, fascism, liberalism , and libertarianism

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
woke
and based
and redpilled
that's unironically pretty close to my political views
Sounds like Richard Spencer
I support
> nationalism
> some left wing economics
> not necessarily gay marriage, but I don't wanna outright oppress them or anything
> gun rights
I'm literally a 6th political theorist
I’m on board except the economics
Gay culture should be fringe
Public displays of sexuality are incredibly vulgar
