Rousseau was really fucking handsome IMO

>For, if force creates right, the effect changes with the cause: every force that is greater than the first succeeds to its right. As soon as it is possible to disobey with impunity, disobedience is legitimate; and, the strongest being always in the right, the only thing that matters is to act so as to become the strongest.

>the sick resentment of the 19th century hadn't poisoned culture yet
seriously? (picrel)

I like reading autobiographies from a long time ago that give you an idea of how people really were back then.
I have
>The Confessions by Saint Augustine
>The Autobiography of Benevenuto Cellini
>The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Any other recommendations?

>Proudly declared himself to be "effeminate".
>Lost his virginity to a domineering older woman whom he treated as a surrogate mother.
>Had numerous homosexual encounters.
>Exposed himself to women on the street.
>Masturbated all the time.
>Abandoned his children and expected the state to take care of them.
>Pitied himself constantly.
>Claimed to be the most moral person who ever existed.
How did a man like this survive and thrive 300 years ago when /pol/ told me that every man born over 40 years ago was a strong, responsible alpha male before Jews feminized them?

Rousseau will dominate the west for 50 years. Lynch mobs, victim cults and youth worship.
