Didn't know this board was filled with Nazis

It is. It's really bad.

Dont own a shelf lol

Polyester shirt and tie without even having a dimple in it. You're not well dressed. You're a pseud who thinks he is dressed well. There is a huge difference.

yikes

>>13061490
I don't see any Aristotle in that image. I see some theory and criticism books and what looks like graphic novels.

Badly tied tie, ill-fitting shit-fabric shirt, and that hair-part is embarrassing; the glasses are worse. And drop the pout; drop your jaw; drop yourself out of the picture.

>>13061792
This is the actual Nazi board. /p*l/ is where the gommies congregate.

>>13066775
are you being ironic, you made no point, whatsoever, being a Nazi is low iq

>>13066587

Nazis no longer exist as the German National Socialist Party was dissolved in 1945. Almost every Neo-Nazi group that claims to be it's heir holds beliefs which would have gotten them expelled from the original party. IE the equality of Slavic peoples with Nordics. Anyone who still clings to doctrinaire German National Socialism will be unable to enact a meaningful program in the modern political landscape. The Third Reich was a self consuming failure regardless of whether or not you share it's strategic goals. I leave it up to God to judge the souls of the old fascists, but I am quite confident that anyone who seeks to emulate them wholesale today is a fool and an uninspired fool at that.

Today I started a concurrent reading of the ILIAD - Book One with the translations of Lattimore, Fitzgerald, Fagles, and Lombardo.

For what porpoise?

Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Plato, Hesiod, Herodotus.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. I don't use any other social media though. Sometimes I watch reviews of movies I haven't seen. I used to follow right leaning political youtube channels, (i.e. Paul Joseph Watson) but I stopped because I realized I was unable to explain or defend any of my positions or opinions. Sometimes I watch South Park and The Eric Andre Show.

Yes you should read it, but why reread it 10 times? There are tons of very good books to get to

>>13070299
Not to be mean, he will grow into his look, but here goes:
Too formal for his age.
The shirt is cheap, notice the weird shine on the collar? It is a no-iron/anti wrinkle material. The collar is trying to look pressed but it actually looks plastic, see the weird ribbits in the collar?
His body is unmanly, like I said in the other post, no traps line, no delts, so his belly and chest protrude. The exposure is also harsh on his pale skin, his chin should be a little up and turned a little away, but that is just framing.
The shirt is also tight in the wrong places, pulling up along his nips towards his shoulders .
The glasses are bent, but would be fine otherwise
The tie is also cheap, but worse it is draped wrong, (the cheap material makes this worse), see how it arches away from his body below the know like it is trying to get away instead of falling lightly on his chest like fine silk? Also that knot is too formal and square without a coat
He is actually a Cutie and I hope the boy does not read this.

here is this short story from Darrell Schweitzer that goes like this:

>one day, there is this shopping riot stampede where everyone tries to get the new popular ugly dolls with big ugly pumpkin heads.
>annoyed the guy goes home
>his wife bought his daughter one of the dolls
>guy gets angry, goes to sleep, has nightmare about the dolls
>next day the dolls are out of stock
>his boss tells the guy that a new delivery of the dolls will arrive this evening and that he is supposed to take care of them and place them on the shelves
>truck arrives
>there is no specific description about what he has done with the dolls, only that he was very satisfied with his masterpiece and that he will probably end up in jail
>comes home, very happy, goes to sleep without nightmares
>next day, the phone rings
>it's the boss, angry and screaming like 'the voices of damned souls in hell'
>his wife asks what is going on
>he tells her what he has done with the dolls
>wife is horrified, calls him crazy
>the guy admits it and starts laughing like a cartoon maniac
>guy dances like a madman, goes outside the house
>his daughters doll is standing on the street
>he runs after it
>is killed by a truck on the road
And from that day on, there was not a single person in the world, who would hate Funko POPs.

I don't understand. You know you look like a highly bullied weeb boy who transitioned into a middle aged football mom, right? Why would you EVER post your face on 4chan? Is your aim to ruin as many people's day as you can? Although you like Marx, so it would be understandable that a commie like you hates this place. Honestly, whatever your opinions, don't ever post your face here again.

As a one-time meme anarcho who tried to read Atlas Shrugged, I can say I just couldn't get into it.
She's a Russian author so she has profound psychological insight, rendering her characters believable in their respective situations. But in her universe where economic system and moral system support and sustain each other purely on capitalistic concepts is silly.
Even when I was anarcho-capitalist, I, unconsciously, couldn't get over the rudeness of it.

What are you know? Nat-soc?

What is the print size like in that Sea of Fertility book? I didn't know there was a one volume edition

supreme cringepost

>>13081579
Normal print. I’d estimate like a size 10-12 on a word document. It’s from the 80’s and quite rare

>>13081565
I'm halfway through the fountainhead now. I don't know a lot about her political ideals but I like her characters and the way she writes.

>>13081575
Monarchist, I suppose. But such a political outcome is impossible rather than improbable, so I do not dedicate any time formulating it, outside what is already realized by my personal values. I may as well say I'm a Mopodopopolist and it will be as convincing.
I would then say I'm nothing political, because there is no outcome where both wish and possibility meet.
>>13081895
Yeah she does a good job at the writing. She has to be, she's Russian. However, I do not accord with anything she says.

That shelf encompasses my life from about age 9 to 14 pretty well honestly

pseud library spotted. I can understand Montaigne's essays some of the other stuff, but why the Critique of Pure Reason in an old and likely shitty translation? Adam Smith looks interesting but in all fairness, aren't his ideas at least a little outdated and surpassed by modern research?

And rotate your images

"HURRR DURR LoOk at Me. PSeud library sppoteddd"

You are so retarded, trying to get the significance of a book while taking it out of it's context. He could be reading Adam Smith to understand previous authors or to understand the ideas of the time. And what fo you know about translations of Critique of Pure Reason.

>>13067252
Fine then if you don't want your morality from a state institution then you could, you know, read a fucking book. Read any history of the second world war, or any of the thousands of first hand accounts that will very clearly illustrate for you that yes, Germany as a whole was gripped by an unspeakable evil in the 20th century.

look at the cover of the book retard. old renderings into English of especially German philosophy were more paraphrase than translation
