Good I love a good western. they almost make me wish I was American.

reminder that the film club is 4.5 hr from now

yes

@here Also a reminder that the bookclub will convene next weekend, when we will discuss what we're currently reading. Check the announcements for more details if you want to participate.

Thomas Carlyle's Latter Day Pamphlets is an interesting read.

I read 50 pages on anatomy of fascism last night

I would meme it as
Fascism
>muh feels
>muh no doctrines

Yeah a big part of fascism is tapping into the frustrated feelings of the population.

Don't think it's wrong to do so, emotions can't be completely written off as useless. But fascism doesn't have one specific doctrine. Each movement is different and a different doctrine is adopted for each once it has matured enough.

@Roman Dreams How do you feel about the book so far? I like how the author attacks the topic.

@Polak it feels fresh, my education of fascism ended with high school courses which never went into enough autistic detail

How many of you are participating in the book club, and how is the reading progressing?

I've read through excerpts of this book before (so I suppose I will complete it), and I am wondering what sort of discussion will be held in two weeks?

It will likely be over voice, this is our first book club so I'm not sure what to expect. I suppose we will discuss our opinions on what we read. The book club will actually happen this coming saturday. But if people really need more time there might be an extension.

I've already the book.

I don't mind doing it via text, really.

paging @Polak

I am planning on doing a voice chat for the book, but If more people would participate for a text discussion, I would consider it.

The book club will be held on Sunday, roughly ~10pm EST. I need to get a proper count on how will be attending so that we can find the optimal time for those who want to attend.

@everyone, if you have been reading the book and plan on attending the book club, @ me in this channel so I can get a head count. Make sure to include the time intervals you are available this sunday.

@Polak ive been reading but I don't think i'll be able to finish it by Sunday, also 10 pm is usually my bed time

on a Sunday

@Polak I'll be there, although I don't know if I'll be online when you do it. I can write about the book the next day though, but I'll let you know. I'm on holiday now, so I have the time to stay up

Ill be there, text and voice are both fine with me

gotta say, this was a good choice of a book

I will join. I work that day at 4 so I might be home when it starts

@here I'm going to hold another film club tomorrow at 9pm eastern/8pm central. Gonna watch Bladerunner
