What is nationalism anymore? A nation used to be a population who occupied and owned a specific geographic region, and who were united by racial, historical, and religious bonds. A nation always had a mythological foundation as well (the Iliad, the Aeneid, etc). None of these characteristics exist in America today. We are a mix bag of mutts and dysgenic freaks, who not only do not have any racial identity, but are in fact apathetic towards intraracial camaraderie. Our foundational myth taught to children is that of George Washington and the founding fathers; this myth, weak to begin with, has been dismantled by leftists as problematic and racist. The contemporary view of our foundation is largely negative and therefore cannot serve as a unifying factor in forging a national identity.

Religion means nothing to the average American. You can say we are a Christian nation, but church attendance statistics and public opinion would indicate otherwise. Yes we are nominally "Christian" but for most people this identification means almost nothing. Not to mention the fact that Christianity as splintered off into literally hundreds of factions, many of which have significant theological and political differences with one another. A religion this fractured and drained of all spiritual mana cannot be a source of national identity.

So what is left? Do the American people at least have a geographic space to call their own? No. The land belongs to poop-colored immigrants who funnel into America by the millions, at the behest of our president and his goons. Corporations own all the important, resource rich land; the rest belongs to stinky third world subhumans. There is no nation. Conservatives can't solve this problem because they don't understand how deep it goes. Leftists of course don’t want to solve this problem because they are globalists.

I will now refute Nietzsche.

In Carl Jung's autobiography he wrote about the time he visited a remote African village. He was interested in African folk spiritual beliefs and decided to ask the village chief what he thought constituted good and evil. The chief replied, "Good is when I steal my enemy’s cow. Evil is when he steals mine."

I think that African chief is the true Nietzschean man. He lives beyond good and evil; he only acts in self-interest and has a totally relativistic sense of what is good and what is bad. The chief abides by master morality, taking what he wants from the weak and feeling no pang of conscious for what he does. And what does the chief reap by adopting this moral framework? Well, he lives in a mud hut, chucks spears at buffalo like a neanderthal, and has a life expectancy of >40 years old. In other words, he's a dumb nigger who lives like a subhuman, and that's exactly what Nietzsche was, a stupid nigger. All his life he benefited from living a civil society that was guided by "slave morality". Nietzsche lived a peaceful existence, had access to high education, and had a cozy pension from his university job that allowed him to traipse across Europe simping for women who despised him. All one needs to do to see the faults in his moral framework (perhaps anti-moral framework would be more appropriate) is to look at what a man who embodies these ideas lives like.

He's right. The right wing tards on this board will argue that we need to return to a "traditional" society because "muh values," but the fact of the matter is that secularism and liberal capitalism have been the values during the most peaceful time in human history. Europe is progressive and secular as fuck and has almost no violence or wars. Meanwhile traditional societies in the middle east are constantly at war.

To clarify: this is a service where you can post anon questions for them to ask at the end.

>listening to audiobooks

I'm looking for nonfiction books studying the process of human imagination. I want to know what parts of the brain are theorized to participate in it, how they are structured, and how they 'talk' to one another. I understand that we don't understand everything about human imagination but I want as much information about it as possible, can be dense or weird or whatever.

>I don't give a shit about politics and just post whatever will get me the most (You)s

When will you idiots learn that the amount of fat and muscle in your body is decided by:
1. Genetics
2. Hormones in your blood
3. Amount of calories you eat
4. Exercise?

The type of calories you eat is COMPLETELY irrelevant, eating "healthily" and taking protein powders will make NO difference whatsoever.

Do people still read actual physical books, as in novels? LOL. Why would you do that when you could just get an audiobook and workout at the same time.
