Can't go wrong with Benjamin, I guess.

2. Leave this board/site. Scroll through the threads and tell me if this is really a good way to spend your time. Lit has just become the second Pol with mentally ill nationalists, esotericists and tradcaths on the one side and shitposters who just want to get a reaction on the other. And even if you are right-wing or whatever this place should still be a waste if you have any sense of self-worth. Read Davila if you want some intelligent, reflected and reactionary aphorisms — or maybe Simone Weil. You can't also go wrong with Marx, even if you end up disagreeing with many of his ideas. Ignoring him because dogmatic marxists are retarded would make you no different from a redditor who doesn't want to read Plato, Nietzsche, Lovecraft because they're "problematic".

nationalism is so pathetic
i am glad that slowly but surely the traditions and myths of the pasts days are being eradicated
a world-state which would replace the concept of nations would sure be comfy

by desire the postwar frenchies(lacan deleuze, bataille) don't mean carnal desire, but dostoevsky's underground man via alexandre kojeve's reading of Hegel. man is the error that persists in time. all logic is circular presupposing by neccesity the end of history the state universal and homogenous the sage and his book of knowledge. but once the book is written there will be no one left to read itas there will be no humans left but only animals of the species homo sapiens.

Macron wrote his master's thesis on Kojeve's Hegel. Kojeve was one of the founding fathers of the EU, after having solved western philosophy through his definitive interpretation of hegel, he decided the only thing left for him to do was to hasten the coming of the universal and homogenous state through diplomatic practice, being instrumental in the drafting of the european steel and coal agreements in the 50s. Kojeve once said he was more of a stalinist than stalin himself, because in his ideal order there was no place for even the dictatorial dominance of a single individual. He was also one of the proponents of the convergence thesis- USSR and US were both heading towards the end of history and the animalization of man. after his death kojeve was exposed as a kgb asset. Emmanuel Macron defends the EU as a political and not only and economic proyect, but can't seem to articulate coherently what is the 'political' content of his proyect. Implicity, total financiarization eleatic block universe. Blackrock already writes a great deal of France's labor and environmental legislation, covid contingency measures means more power ceded to Fink's outfit on a broader european level.

Sincerity is impossible after the end of History, you can either pretend the 24 hour news spectacle and tv shows and other mass market cultural commodities are important and relevant like every middle class middle-brow media outlet wants you to or you can construct an endless series of evershifting personas out of the refuse of history in a pure potlatch of dandyism and self justifying artificiality.

The truth is, there is no ''authentic'' self to be. The ''Authentic'' Individual who Cares is no better than a deer stunned by headlights, an artificial mimetic construction, albeit a crude one, ever determined by the exterior of psyops and self reinforcing groupthink. A relatively recent norm, that owes its existence to reality TV, the human potential movement and other Californian technologies of the Self. Likewise, the sincere Nazis and Communists, trad catholic LARPers, the therapeutic subjects of identity politics, and the well intentioned liberal humanists are un-self consciously playing dress up with anachronic templates taken way too seriously. I suspect Social media and psychiatry as they exist today are products of continental air command imperatives, the system needs need to preserve a sense of facialized and static individual identity amidst rapid and unpredictable technological change, distinct case files which can be tracked and retrieved at any moment .

Yes, reading such disparate (and quite easily contradicted, yet influential) takes has simply made me interested in a broad, but relatively detailed account of all the variety of ways in which Hegel has been interpreted over the years. I think that's the only interesting thing about Hegel to me at this point (besides Hegel's own work.)

I actually think the more of a dipshit one looks, and the more unsuitable the glasses are to one's face, the better. They become unique and give the person more character than whatever the current 5 styles are for a given 10-year-window. Though of course the absolute dream is to be able to wear sunglasses at all times like an Asian grannie, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander Kojeve, or whomever has just decided fuck y'all looking at my eyes.

Doesn't everyone search for the one? I've seen people justify (like it needs to be fucking justified) sleeping with different kinds of women so they have enough experience to be able to pick the right one.

I can bring any friend to the point where they admit to this in under a minute. What I don't tell them is that I don't do the fucking because of a higher cause, but because of the fucking. For me it's more enjoyable that way.

I pinpointed my sexuality and even kind of explained it, which initiated a landslide for other things which were a mystery to me. It feels good and relaxed a lot of things in my life.

And no, I didn't discover that I'm a homo.

I have a little theory regarding this one.

You can pick out the dick hungry whores if you look at their behavior.

If a girl radiates a stereotypically male behavior then she wants the dick so badly that she's willing to drop the really good attributes of a female and succumb to the ridiculousness of male culture.

Under the peasant I know how to be the greatest of them. When it comes to swearing, being loud, being uncultured, talking shit, talking out of my ass, insulting someone, vulgar racist jokes, I can top the charts, especially since I've read my fair share of literature, so I don't give a shit if someone thinks I'm an ass.

But deep in me, I hate every second of it. I've always preferred the feminine, the quite and peaceful feeling I get when I observe her reading a book or just adjusting her hair. Why a women would change that peace for what is basically screaming around like an idiot thinking that's cool has only one explanation, she wants the dick that badly.

>The Nazis used the term Untermensch to describe non-Germans. Nietzsche himself was opposed to nationalism and anti-semitism.

Spotted the brainwashed brainlet. Pic very related.

Kojeve's introduction to the reading of Hegel. a key influence over nearly all later french thinkers.
