Should I read it?

When I started reading this book, I was a sceptic, no, a curious non-racist. Since I finished reading it I became convinced I had been a racist my entire life, until this very minute. This isn't a book about racism. It's the most entertaining work of non-fiction ever made. It's a tragedy full of dark humour. It breaks every boundary. This book isn't a book, it's a mirror, a book about you, held right into your face. Dare?

> The current edition has not changed a line, not that, in the interval, considerable work has not determined much progress in detail. But none of the truths I spoke were shaken, and I found it necessary to maintain the truth as I found it.
> It was the first time that this observation was made and that, in bringing out its results from the social point of view, the axiom was presented that so much was the mixture obtained, so much was the human variety produced from this mixture, and that progress and the setbacks of societies are nothing other than the effects of this rapprochement. From there was derived the theory of selection which had become so famous in the hands of Darwin and even more so of his pupils.

One of those books I keep reading over and over and I'm still not sure if I was able to fully understand it

What is this book truly about? Theology?

> One would therefore be tempted to assign to the domination of man on earth a total duration of twelve to fourteen thousand years, divided into two periods: one, which has passed, will have seen, will have possessed youth, vigor , the intellectual greatness of the species; the other, which has begun, will experience its failing march towards decrepitude.

> By stopping even at the times which must somewhat precede the last sigh of our species, by turning away from those ages invaded by death, when the globe, having become mute, will continue, but without us, to describe in space its impassive orbs, I don't know if we are not entitled to call the end of the world this less distant epoch which will already see the complete abasement of our species. I will not affirm either that it was very easy to take an interest with a remnant of love in the destinies of a few handfuls of beings stripped of strength, beauty, intelligence, if one only remembered that At least they will have religious faith left, the last link, the only memory, the precious heritage of better days.

> But religion itself did not promise us eternity; but science, by showing us that we have begun, always seemed to assure us also that we must finish. There is therefore no reason to be surprised or moved by finding confirmation of more than one fact which could not pass for doubtful. The sad forecast is not death, it is the certainty of arriving there only degraded; and perhaps even this shame reserved for our descendants could leave us insensitive, if we did not feel, by a secret horror, that the rapacious hands of destiny are already placed on us.

It's taken directly from another, comically funny book.

This is the truth libshits and atheists don't want you to know about the theory of evolution.

> Darwin and Buckle thus created the main diversions of the creek which I opened. Many others have simply given as truths found by themselves what they copied from me, mixing in as best they could the ideas of today's fashion.

> So I leave my book as I did and I will change absolutely nothing. It is the exposition of a system, it is the expression of a truth which is as clear and as indubitable to me today as it was to me when I professed it for the first time. Advances in historical knowledge have not caused me to change my opinion in any way or to any extent. My convictions of the past are those of today, which have slanted neither to the right nor to the left, but which have remained as they had grown from the first moment I knew them. Acquisitions in the realm of facts do not harm them. The details have multiplied, I am glad. They have not altered the findings acquired. I am satisfied that the testimonies furnished by experience have further demonstrated the reality of the inequality of Races.

> That they (the Gauls) belonged to the white race in the original part of their essence, there is no doubt. Among them, the warriors had a solid build, vigorous limbs and a gigantic size, blue or gray eyes, blond and red hair. They were men of turbulent passions; their extreme greed, their love of luxury, made them willingly resort to arms. They were endowed with a lively and easy comprehension, a very keen natural mind, an insatiable curiosity, very soft in the face of adversity, and, to crown it all, a formidable inconsistency of temper, the result of an organic inability to respect or love anything for long.

> As long as the son of the Roxolans remained pure, he enjoyed seeing the gods only in the mirror of his imagination, and was reluctant to make tangible images of them. He liked to imagine them hovering half-hidden in the clouds reddened by the glow of the setting sun. The mysterious sounds of the forests revealed their presence to him. He also believed to find and he revered an emanation of their nature in certain objects precious to him. The Quadi swore oaths on swords, which the Thracians had already done. The Longobards honored a golden serpent; the Saxons, a mystical group made up of a lion, a dragon and an eagle; the Franks also had similar uses.

> But alliances with the European mestizos later made them accept, in whole or in part, the material pantheon of the Slavs and Celts.

> These Anglo-Saxons, these people of British origin, represent the shade furthest removed both from the blood of the aborigines and from that of the Negroes of Africa. It is not that one could not find in their essence some traces of Finnic affinities; but they are counterbalanced by the Germanic nature, indeed ossified, a little withered, stripped of its grandiose sides, yet still rigid and vigorous, which survives in their organism.

Is this satire? Holy kek.

The white peoples, isolated at first, following the cosmic catastrophes, from their congeners of the two other species, and knowing neither the yellow hordes nor the black tribes, had no reason to suppose that there existed other men than them. This way of judging, far from being shaken by the first appearance of the Finns and the negroes, was confirmed on the contrary. The white people could not imagine seeing beings equal to them in these creatures who, by a wicked hostility, a hideous ugliness, a brutal inintelligence and the title of son of monkeys which they claimed, seemed to repel themselves from themselves. among animals.
