It's hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic online I don't blame them

2018-10-17 00:35:49 UTC  

I know it's a meme and a joke but there are optics to worry about, sadly.

2018-10-17 00:36:05 UTC  

I understand

2018-10-17 00:36:07 UTC  

We don't get the benefit of the doubt

2018-10-17 00:36:54 UTC  

ok, real book suggestion: The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch

2018-10-17 00:37:12 UTC  

it's not about race, but it's *extremely* prescient

2018-10-17 00:38:10 UTC  

some of the NRx thought out there draws from Lasch and James Burnham, I think

2018-10-17 00:38:17 UTC  

@sigruna14 The name just sounds edgy

2018-10-17 00:38:26 UTC  

Apparently the content is pretty mild

2018-10-17 00:39:21 UTC  

@Jacob Never read, but you know how the line would go: "IE recommends reading main book of Nazi terror group."

2018-10-17 00:39:38 UTC  

Can't expect fairness

2018-10-17 00:39:45 UTC  

Are we thinking of the same book?

2018-10-17 00:39:56 UTC  

Siege?

lol

2018-10-17 00:40:14 UTC  

LOL

2018-10-17 00:40:25 UTC  

no it's Greg Johnson's newest book

2018-10-17 00:40:28 UTC  

I smiled out loud a little bit.

2018-10-17 00:41:11 UTC  

server admin gets to say the book name 😔

2018-10-17 00:41:30 UTC  

It was a better joke imo

2018-10-17 00:41:31 UTC  

lols

2018-10-17 00:42:04 UTC  

was there a comment that got deleted that I missed?

2018-10-17 00:42:16 UTC  

because I'm not sure how that escalated

2018-10-17 00:42:56 UTC  

mis-spelled meme about reading a certain violent propaganda book involving the mail

2018-10-17 00:43:01 UTC  

I jokingly made a reference to a book that's named after that thing you do to a castle or a city when you want to defeat the people inside

2018-10-17 00:43:53 UTC  

great book

2018-10-17 00:44:04 UTC  

@sigruna14 For the record, I don't think we should advocate reading Siege even if from a critical perspective. We should stay away from that kind of stuff all together. Not just for optics, but we don't want to normalize that kind of stuff anywhere near us.

2018-10-17 00:44:20 UTC  

@johnnyc w-which one?

2018-10-17 00:44:26 UTC  

Yeah I haven't read it I just see memes about it all the time on telegram

2018-10-17 00:44:55 UTC  

yeah I was being 100% ironic. Lots of much more intellectual and useful reading out there

2018-10-17 00:44:56 UTC  

@johnnyc Don't even post that here

2018-10-17 00:45:16 UTC  

had to read it for a history report

2018-10-17 00:45:33 UTC  

its a different book lol

2018-10-17 00:45:40 UTC  

@Jacob I agree. The optics thing, I was referring to an infiltrator taking a meme posted as a joke and misrepresenting it as a serious recommendation to read the book.

2018-10-17 00:46:16 UTC  

@johnnyc We both know how that could be interpreted.

2018-10-17 00:47:05 UTC  

i understand but i dont think you can misinterpret and entirely different book as the other book. wont happen again though.

2018-10-17 00:48:13 UTC  

read "Why We Fight." In the original French, *of course*

2018-10-17 00:48:35 UTC  

What's you guys's opinion on wojak memes
