i'm not defending harry potter i just want some arguments so i can bash the books without having to read them.

>>13368429
Yeah, I suppose that one has caused the most loss of progress, the most people killed, and the most subsequent art and fan fictions of merit.

>>13368504
What makes it bash-worthy is rather its outstanding mediocrity when it comes to writing, prose and story. Harry Potter belongs to these books whose world-building serves only one purpose which is promoting and supporting the main protagonist. The world was constructed around the main protagonist and the arising shortcomings are clearly visible. This is noticably different from Tolkien for example.
Once again, some people might disagree. Harry Potter is not a bad book per se but it definitely did not deserve the fame it received.

>>13368504
Once again. I never made it beyond some dozens pages in the first book. I do not have time to read 5,000 pages of fanfiction just to render myself able to properly criticize Harry Potter but I allow myself to criticize its writing style based on what I've read so far. There are so many other books that are clearly superior in quality that one should read first.

>>13368504
Why didn't the "wizards" just cast themselves out of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>>13368527

As the first person to actually answer OPs question, it’s most likely The Bell Curve.

Understanding the consequences of what the data in this book shows is extraordinarily blackpilling and disheartening. The deeper you delve into understanding the consequences, the worse things get. The craziest part is this information is so taboo it can never be taught (nor should it) in any school setting. If this information was known to most, society itself would either collapse or radically change.

>>13370015
the bell curve isn't very compelling science is the problem, the book exists for racist ideologues to paint there being some sort of proof for racial inferiority but under most thorough examinations the evidence isn't compelling enough or the sources they rely on are from biased researchers. It's dangerous because it's a pseudo scientific justification for an ideology and makes people think they've seen through the lies of egalitarianism when they've just been cucked out of making their own mind up by a group of people intent on justifying a philosophical position. So I agree it's a dangerous book because it gives retards the basis to think their political beliefs have scientific legitimacy when most scientists think the work is complete dogshit

>>13370041
Not that anon but I legitimately don't care if the science in the Bell Curve is bunk or not. I have my own experiences. Why can't whites have their own country? Just their own plot of land?

>>13368394

>>13370231

From turks to arabs, greeks, phoenicians, chinese, mesopotamians, indo-europeans and just homo sapiens in general, as there are dozen more peoples who practiced it, and a strong case can be made for any of them.
Just because one of the ones who did it was better at it, doesn't mean they invented it.

>>13370253

>Someone actually fell for the „colonialism made everything better!“ meme

Where the fuck do you people pick up this shit? YouTube comments and /pol/ infographics?

>>13370186
because traditionally that doesn't work because white people went and colonised everywhere and created globalised society, the idea of a "white country" which has always been ambiguous considering Eastern Europe, Ireland, southern europe etc, can just get included and excluded at will, is a concept that simply doesn't make sense.
Besides the practical limitations behind enforcing an ethnic cleansing in the USA for instance would drop california and Texas, the two biggest states in America and biggest contributors to the economy down to around 40% of its current level along with huge portions of the rest of the population, remember the majority of black americans are currently employed with one of the lowest unemployment rates for themselves so theres a huge chunk of the population now gone. "White ethnostate" is meme bullshit and there are no ethno states anymore, even china and japan have black people in them, africa has white people all over it and lots of asians, ethnostates have never exist and they never will exist

>>13370278
>ethnostates have never exist and they never will exist
Come on dude

Why do people even believe an ethnostate would solve anything?

>>13370285
name an ethnostate? a state with a singular unified culture with no segments of the population regarded as the other, because the very very few that have existed letalone at all i can't think of any except maybe ones that imploded pretty quickly and most still have foreign born populations. remember "ethnostate" doesn't mean race, it means anyone of a different ethnicity which means its foreigners of any description, there isn't a single country that was without foreigners to some degree, because as soon as its all white people those other white people become bad and aren't like us and need to be gone like the irish and the italians once were

>>13370287
Because they're Christ cucks who aren't patient enough to wait for China to figure out gene editing.

>>13370287
who cares? Why can't they try? What's the big deal? What's the controversy? It's amazing how as soon as the question "why not?" is brought up, people get into all kinds of hissy fits of minute-detail practical stuff like "b-but how will you decide who gets in??" or "h-how would it solve anything?" or "wh-why do you care so much about race?"

>>13370291
Literally almost every European country before the industrial revolution, for example.
>as soon as its all white people those other white people become bad and aren't like us
Yeah well, if you assume this, then no answer will satisfy you because you define an "ethnostate" as a paradoxical concept to begin with. Like if you ask someone to give an example of a circle of with 4 angles.

It's really lazy to look at the middle ages and assume that it was simply papal authority that led too europes retardation without considering wider implications.

>>13370344
Actually, the monarchic/feudal system of the European Middle Ages lasted for about 1000 years give or take, which would make it the most successful form of government yet tried, if you measure success by how long it lasted. It was also relatively stable. You have to keep in mind it lasted for about a 1000 years, and of course history pays particular attention to violent periods, which skews our perception looking back.

>>13370357
Like, history will pay a disproportionate amount of attention to the 1-in-50 crazy kings, for example. While ignoring the rest.

>>13368394
In today's age, probably any book that details the sexual and societal degeneracy of Weimar Germany.

>>13370291
Most nations before the late colonization period. Having "a foreigner" in no way excludes the existence of an ethno-state, as what constitutes one wouldn't be a literally 100℅ mono-ethnic state, but one with an overwhelming majority belonging to one ethnicity.
Beyond that, what's argued when discussing a modern ethno-state isn't one with a literal single ethnicity, but one with a general makeup of similar ethnicities, as no one is arguing against samogitians and aukstaitians living in the same country.
But let's take an example from a multi-ethinic nation, like the Roman Empire, when even in late antiquity Gaul, where the area had already been the place to harsh immigration for the last centuries, there was a relatively low change to its genetic makeup, since the main groups that effectively colonized it were germanics, latins, hellenics and other celts, which are pretty similar to each other when compared to France's modern immigration sources, which result in exponentially sharper divides and shifts to its genetic pool.

Absolutely false statement. You’ve clearly never read the book and the rebuttals against it. The main premise of the rebuttals is the data being false or inaccurate which is counteracted by every single major exam or IQ based activity having the same “gap”.

Act, sat, LSAT, PCST, MCAT, average income, college graduation rates, etc. all those separate events which have nothing to do with Murray end up in some form or another splitting folks racially. It’s not a coincidence Asians always end up on top, followed by whites, etc etc in every single one.

That’s just one argument against the dozen others. Go read the rebuttals against the book and you’ll see how weak their arguments are.

And no, Germans, Celts, Latin, Greeks and Slavs aren't the same ethnic groups, even if most of those (but not all) would be classified as white in the modern American taxonomy.

Also remember that the notion of "state" as it is conceived in "ethnostate" didn't start to emerge before the Concile of Trent, you could argue even before the 19th century.

TL;DR: Learn your European history.

The most dangerous book is obviously the heaviest

>>13377326
not true btw

>>13370315
It' not a fallacy if it actually adresses problem inherent in the concept it criticizes. The whole ida of an ethnostate is that ethnic uniformity should bring about a measure of political stability as well as social cohesion. Anon is precisely arguing that it won't, because people will keep finding way of crafting categories to lash out against one another.
>>13370302
The point is that an ethnostate is as consistent and functional as a concept as a circle with 4 angles (or barely better).
I don't exactly agree with the argument but it makes sense.

>>13377329
It is too desu, chances are that the heaviest book is some kind of scientific journal or encyclopedia.

Somehow I doubt this. All the more so than for most ethnic purist having 4 Europeans grandparents means shit. There's a reason most purity laws in history have gotten back at least two generations.
Set up your little country and see how long it takes for the "greatgrandparenters" to start crusading against the impure "second gen".

Late monarchic and feudal system are arguably two different things, the former feeds directly into the modern bourgeois state (see Louis XIV's reforms which in hindsight almost seems like he was trying to make the Revolution happen).
And small monarchic city-state (different from late Western absolute monarchies) have been around for arguably much longer. In some region that form of organisation spans much of Antiquity, so say about 2500-3000 years. But of course the sense of solidity dissolves when you look more closely at the history.

>>13370392
Ethnicity and genetic make up are different things. You can say Germans Latins and Hellenes are geneticaly close, mutual invasions were still perceived (rightly so) as important cultural changes.
I take issue with the terms "nation". It's a modern thing. The ancient had no nations in the sense we understand them now, they had people (and this is how they used the terms we nw translate as "nation"). And those people were rarely centered on a single, large-scale territory with little to no foreign demographic influx, which is what an ethnostate would imply.

On the other hand if you admit that a relatively limited community with varied (but relatively fixed) ethnic communities living together constitues an ethno state...then I guess the cities of Ancient Greece, among others, were each an ethnostate. But that would mean many parts of Europe and the US still vrtually function as ethnostates, in which case, why not move there ?

>I challenge you to name an ethnostate from European history
>remember, states didn't exist back then so it's literally impossible
>remember, I don't mean "race" I mean "ethnicity" which means I can pick whatever the fuck I want, Celts and Germanics are different because I say so and we have different names for them
>remember, there must be literally ZERO foreigners for it to count as an ethnostate
>yes all European countries were white in the fake bullshit American taxonomy but that doesn't count, so better become 56% mongrolized instead of 99% white with Celts, Latins, Germanics or whatever, it's fucking useless bro because I can nitpick the tiny details so best throw out the entire project

>>13377334
>because people will keep finding way of crafting categories to lash out against one another.
Completely unsubstantiated. Yes, to a degree conflict is inevitable. I'm not a utopist who thinks the ethnostate will bring back the Garden of Eden. Why can't we choose to live only with fellow whites without throwing away the entire project because the line between white and non-white is blurry, therefore better allow in scores of Africans?

>>13377355
Again, the tiny details don't matter. Make it go back 3 generations if you like. I picked the grandparents because that's the most easy to prove.

>>13380769
I never made a scientific claim. I'm asking why whites aren't allowed to make their own little state and do as they please. Let in who they like, keep out who they like.

>>13370041

>the bell curve isn't very compelling science is the problem

(you)

Is there anything worse than faggots who harp on about "the American taxonomy is bullshit", Europeans used to make distinctions between Irish and English etc.? Yes they did but there has ALWAYS been the concept of "the European", especially since contact with Africa and the New World was firmly established.

>dude some white nationalists think even Greeks aren't white, therefore the entire is bullshit, therefore just let in Africans

>>13368437
You are a sycophant. I think it introduced reading to children who may not have read books in their lives.

Also the values it teaches are solid such as friendship, sacrifice of oneself for the good, etc

Harry Potter didn't lead to a whole generation being ruined.

If you want to know some factors which furthered mankind's delinquency then you'd be better off placing the blame: social media, the pressure placed on youth to pursue individualism which makes them susceptible to the prying hands of mass movements, cultish ideologies and beliefs.
Also the new generation's sexual culture (which i believe will be the greatest factor to play in the fall of the west). Kid's are under collosal pressure from educational systems, peers and society to be as sexual active as possible. This will lead (and is already doing so) the destruction of the family nucleus, only increasing the number of children born in torn apart families, riddled with insecurity and anxiety, only more susceptible to cultish ideologies to clothe their naked souls with to form a sense of identity.

>>13381770

This one's on feminism and feminism alone.

Come one, y'all know that the bell curve is garbage.
If you don't, I have to say that every person who acts like he had understood all the realms and refinements of the social order, referring to books such as the bell curve, just could be assimilated to primary school children who believe they understand everything about literature because he had read the full harry potter collection. The number of "educated" people who are completely illiterate towards social sciences is distressing.

I don't even know where to begin to explain how wrong and stupid you are. What's happening is part of a phenomenon I wrote about a couple of years ago when I was asked to comment on Rowling. I went to the Yale University bookstore and bought and read a copy of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs." I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing.
But when I wrote that in a newspaper, I was denounced. I was told that children would now read only J.K. Rowling, and I was asked whether that wasn't, after all, better than reading nothing at all? If Rowling was what it took to make them pick up a book, wasn't that a good thing?
It is not. "Harry Potter" will not lead our children on to Kipling's "Just So Stories" or his "Jungle Book." It will not lead them to Thurber's "Thirteen Clocks" or Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows" or Lewis Carroll's "Alice."
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

The IQ gap is real. This is an undisputed fact. The cause for the gap is either environmental, or genetic (or some combination thereof -- but even admitting this is admitting the genetic component which is admitting race realism). All environmental fixes have been tried: IQ tests in South Africa, IQ controlled for net worth, IQ controlled for crime; the gap remains. The only completely environmental factor left is the nebulous ghost of "white privilige" or Eurocentrism or neocolonialism or inherited trauma, unfalsifiable claims with no conditions for "victory" except total equity in IQ test scores, which, the genetics-camp believes, will never happen.

>individualism
God exists. And He cannot be in us until we become interested in Him, in Him exclusively.
Do you understand what I am saying? Ex-clu-sive-ly! Twenty-four hours a day. Your hearts and minds filled only with God. There's no room for anything else. No room for free will, no room for liberty, no room for emancipation. "Free yourself from God", I've heard people say. "Liberate yourself from God." But the pain of liberation is unbearable, sharp enough to kill. Without God... you are as good as dead. Dead, abandoned stray wandering the streets. .

any king who inherited a stable kingdom and succeeded in keeping it stable until death/abdication is essentially forgotten to history except for his name being in lists

people also enjoyed more freedom under the monarchy, worked less, and felt like they belonged to the community they lived in

>>13368532
It also revolves around the worst meme of fantasy: "old magic" and artifacts. No living wizard in the entire world for the entire series is capable of any particularly rare or unique magic. They're all basically trained to do the same thing.

Everything interesting with the magic is some ancient spell or artifact made by someone better than everyone in the entire world.

Compare that to interesting magic mechanics like Celtica, where the wizards had magic inscribed into their bones at the creation of the world and they age as they use it. The few remaining wizards are tens of thousands of years old and have forgotten dozens of lifetimes of memories, unintentionally repeating love and blunders for thousands of years. HP magic is just totally stale writing in comparison.

>social """" sciences""""

The entirety of social sciences, barring things that actually successfully model behavior and/or society mathematically to some extent ( e.g. dual inheritance theory), is entirely bunk. It's not even hypotheses. People make stipulations and other people decide whether or not they like them. If enough people like them, they call it a theory and require you to memorize some stages of development or crises or other such memes in order to get a degree.

Science that does not test quantifiable measures is not science.

>california and Texas, the two biggest states in America and biggest contributors to the economy down to around 40% of its current level along with huge portions of the rest of the population, remember the majority of black americans are currently employed with one of the lowest unemployment rates for themselves so theres a huge chunk of the population now gone

Blacks and Hispanics consume more taxes than they contribute. Also, the reason we don't have fair wages is because the general labor supply is almost double the general labor demand, i.e. there are too many uneducated people for the jobs we have.
