okay midwit, I'll bite.

The text is talking about the misconception that action is necessarily the consequence of thought, when in reality there is quite often action without thought, which in turn causes thoughts which will justify the action, which will then to some extent or another color future thoughts and actions both, and so on and so on. What the rest of the paragraph (that you helpfully cropped out) seems to go on to explain is that in the absence of intentional, upfront thought, this cycle has the potential to continue indefinitely and by its nature of affecting changes on itself, remove itself from the context of the real world, leaving only independent and yet totally self-affected thoughts and actions. Depending on the wider context of the text as a whole, this might be an attempted warning against a lack of introspection, an explanation of how some people become literally detached from reality, simply an exploration of how thought and action are connected, etc. etc. To put it more simply: you got filtered.

Agitators for social and political change are frequently people who under the existing system lack social capital and value.

I.E., Karl Marx may have written a book, but no matter what he wrote or claimed, the fact remains that he was a comfortable parasite who sat around his entire life doing nothing except shitposting. Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, however, were essentially common criminals who saw a way to leverage an ideology to let them steal a country and live off of it like kings. Same thing with Castro and Guevara, etc.

So in this situation the key is to turn your hostility towards the established system INTO social capital by starting a revolution or some kind of mass movement of disaffected people. It probably won't end well for you and it definitely won't end well for the troglodytes who follow you but "probably won't" and "cannot" are miles apart.

Thought crime: Hate speech

Doublethink:
- Pro Islam / pro gay, pro feminism
- Pro feminism / pro trans
- Progressivism = regressivism
- Antifa = fascists

Who controls the past controls the future:
Historical negationism

Collective solipsism: "My truth"

Im gonna get called a goy for saying this but why the fuck does it matter? How is the writer's semitism a useful categorization? I highly doubt it does you any good to know one way or the other, when you should be reading based on CONTENT.

That is some poetically articulated cynicism. I'm ambivalent to the thesis but compelled by the execution. Cheers anon.

Any good current Frog writers? You'd think all they have is Houllebecq. Any quality genre fiction stuff?

Also I am getting really fucking tired of this stupid faggot word "Pseud". It discourages any sort of intelligent discourse because you are starting out a conversation with an meme insult aimed to target some sort of boogyman classification of a person based on loose grounds.

I want some advice on Military Operation literature. I am considering starting off with ww1. Can you recommend me something good. I would really appreciate if someone makes a list on what to read. Thank you!

Explain it like you are explaining it to a kid

My father is a pseud. He once downloaded a Dostoevsky audiobook. He never actually listened to it but he likes to brag about having it.

Fuck Silicon Valley, fuck your stupid computer science druggie macbook steve jobs shit. If you weren't such a pseudo-spiritual drug head retard you would realize silicon valley and technology in general has done more harm to the human spirit than helped it.

Half you faggots on 4chan and all the hipsters on Reddit are going to grow up into asshole parents. The "Yuppie 2.0" generation is going to dawn on future generations who will hopefully have better ideas than us and won't ruin our brains with drugs and alcohol.

I am more interested in hoping chink moot will just fucking create a philosophy board so we don't have so many underage newfags shitposting their nietzche and pseudo-stoicism. Philosophy ruined this board. I just want a board dedicated to the discussion of the art of literature, not a shit slinging grounds for pseudo-intellectuals and college kids in their first semester wherein everybody is so insecure they feel the need to posture and criticize for their own self justification.
