Anything by Evola.

>>11985733

Yeah, unironic logical positivism in 2018 has got to be up there.

definitely any orwell, plus nietzsche

Man, I'm getting more and more fascinated by the guy. He lacked any kind of social awereness. It's like he only knew the world trough anime

>>11985900
Homage to catalonia was actually pretty good. Fight me

>>11983243
any christcuck books. christcuckery is the new edgy and contrarian thing now.

>>11985900
Can we be a bit more nuanced about the nietzsche hate?
Nietzsche is hard to understand and sometimes even harder to interpret. I feel like a lot of edgelords have only a surface-level understanding of Nietzsche.
As a true patrician you also have to know your Nietschze

>>11986012
This.

>>11985900
>definitely any orwell, plus nietzsche
Nietzsche saw something in the death of God that fedoras pretend doesn't exist.

>>11983243
Antinatalism by far.

>>11983243
Roman Catholicism.

Ayn Rand
Richard Dawkins
Nietzsche

Solipsism and unironic Hard Determinism inasmuch as they make people believe that nihilism is a serious worldview that they can act in accordance with.

"The world is my representation."

>>11985900
>definitely any orwell
Orwell's fiction is trash , but his nonfiction is some of the best political writing of the century.
Brainlets attach themselves to 1984 (and to a lesser extent Animal Farm) because it has a simple archetype-defining message and is a staple of USA highschool reading lists.
Even then they misinterpret the central point, especially in the USA editions of Animal Farm where the last scene of the pigs becoming indistinguishable from the humans is censored.

Industrial Society and Its Future

Thinking existentialism refers to accepting a cynical and nihilistic worldview, when in reality its central goal is to combat those ideas. I guess they think existentialism begins and ends with an "existential crisis," or maybe they mix up the philosophy with the phrase

>>11983381
glad you said it

>>11983381
Pretty much Ayntology

>>11983243

do americans really censor orwell? also, burmese days is good orwell fiction

Wait, what now? Which editions?

>>11986360
>>11986443
I'm not an Amerilard but I heard the copies they use (used?) in highschools were altered by the CIA to change that last scene, so that the animals will say something among the lines of "the humans were better after all".

>>11983403
rotting

moral nihilism

>>11986565
unironcally big if true

The 1954 movie adaptation was the one that had the changed ending.

For you

Anti-natalism

It is CANCER

>>11986083
Actually this.

The extreme ends of libertarianism, anarcho-capitalists etc.

>>11983243
Bayes' theorem

Anarcho-primitivism.

These mouth breathers are absoloutley convinced that they would fair better in a neo-feudal system where they had to fend for themselves without their mothers regularly feeding them chicken tendies and paying for their internet.

They probably read Against Civilization - John Zerzan and have a copy of the unabomber manifesto to prop up up one of the legs of their dilapidated "battlestation" or desk.

They've basically spent too much time playing skyrim and consuming whatever clusterfuck of fantasy literature, vidya or tv. and have a problem separating fantasy from real life.
They more than likely are a member of some kind of historical reenactment society where they get to pretend to be a morbidly obese viking trying to pick up fair maiden's "m'lady"

>>11983403
this, fucking cringe.

What's wrong with 1984 aside from people treating it as a gospel for furthering their political agenda? Please answer without sounding like you dislike it for the sole reason of being contrarian

>>11983243
>nobody's posted Bertrand Russell yet

For shame, /lit/.

This is true.

Fedora is good this thread is really bad

>>11988740
It's science fiction with exactly one very obvious point being repeated over and over again. It's very simplistic and doesn't seem to have as much soul and passion behind it as Orwell's other work.
