>Do you support a dictator anti-egelitarian aristocracy with you in it where you impose your values on the plebe, and dont have to go do their shit for the "good causes" and "rational ideas"?
Yes i do.

Look at this cope. Only a dumb democrat or moralist would refuse the works and privileges inhereted by his father so he can support the "greater cause".
People who think like that are give their shit away are made for servitute.

Anyone read jacobite? It's a weird Land-adjacent right-wingish counterpart to Jacobin. Some really awful takes, but some genuinely enjoyable ones too (I'm generally not a Land fan). Stuff I liked -

Land himself wrote a few entry-level tier recapitulations of his thought for the site if you're interested.

I find Hobbes tiresome to read. What are the most importiant chapters i should read?

Can i just jump into it, or is there some key works i need to read to understand it?

Anyone else on /lit/ have bizarre learning styles or personality types?
