In Harran, the locals refused to convert. They were dismembered, their limbs hung along the town’s main street. In Alexandria, zealots pulled the elderly philosopher-mathematician Hypatia from her chariot and flayed her to death with shards of broken pottery. Not long before, their fellow Christians had invaded the city’s greatest temple and razed it—smashing its world-famous statues and destroying all that was left of Alexandria’s Great Library.
Today, we refer to Christianity’s conquest of the West as a “triumph.” But this victory entailed an orgy of destruction in which Jesus’s followers attacked and suppressed classical culture, helping to pitch Western civilization into a thousand-year-long decline. Just one percent of Latin literature would survive the purge; countless antiquities, artworks, and ancient traditions were lost forever.
As Catherine Nixey reveals, evidence of early Christians’ campaign of terror has been hiding in plain sight: in the palimpsests and shattered statues proudly displayed in churches and museums the world over. In The Darkening Age, Nixey resurrects this lost history, offering a wrenching account of the rise of Christianity and its terrible cost.
Some obscure books
anyone read pat buchanan? Worth reading? Seems based
i've heard good things. never personally read but probably should at some point
Yeah
he was the original far righter with good optics
yeah, I listened to a bit of "The Unnecessary War"... think I'm gonna pick that up, along with Death of the West, which seems to be his classic
Pat Buchanan ran this ad on national TV for his presidential run in 2000
lol
didn't know he ran
back then the internet wasnt as big yet
so the fact this was on TV stations was insane
The media would NEVER talk about Pat
they learned from the Ross Perot ordeal
yeah, his "Unnecessary War" book seems extreme by todays mainstream standards
Sounds like he was fringe even back in the day
He was, even by the mainstream right
They didnt even acknowledge him
But look how dead on he was
This ad is older than most people on here
ya looks old lol. I was around. But ya seems based. Def gonna check him out
pat buchanan is definitely worth reading
so is henry ford
and sam francis
```Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this
mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with
mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools
he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived
of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless
masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore
the futility of all his efforts and all his actions. The onanism of modern society is
connected with its supposed “hyper-sexualization” and its infertility. It’s not really
hyper-sexualization, but the devolution of the spirit to the lassitude of a diffuse
and weak sexuality. Life in owned space becomes drained of energy through low-
grade pointless titillation—and nofap is a kind of cargo cult that tries to
reestablish energy in order, on path of ascent. Sometimes, however, it’s a
successful cargo cult, but whether it works or no can be seen usually within a
week. The unfortunate thing about all this is that w*m*n have exceptionally good
antennae for this kind of thing, and when a man frees himself from these
pressures…they see this from very far away. They have an instinct to seek out
ascending life and drain it…they and the species thereby achieve their goals, but
you are bled dry and sometimes left a husk. They revert life back to its irritated
state, and by their drainage of vital essence they’ve laid low many great tasks.```
