I'll take the Cossacks, the Apache, and even their colleagues the veteran pilots in the Luftwaffe (who weren't SS) over them any day desu.
Remember the pilots of the Luftwaffe refused to make the Nazi salute in front of Hitler, because they thought they loyalty was to Germany and her armies, not to some not even ten years old party, and still got away with it because they were irreplaceable.

You can find many examples of that in any major armies. How does that not apply to the native americans or to the Luftwaffe pilots, or the French foreign legion soldier who fought something like 15-to-1 in Mexico and made it out?
How does it not apply to trench soldiers on both sides of WW1 during the Somme and Verdun?

It even applies to the insurgents in Warsaw's ghetto fwiw.

It's a good representative of the general literary movement that seems to be emerging out of the internet based red pill anti-modernity crowd, this also includes the manosphere guys for instance, but the range of books is wide. It is a book written by /ourguy/ and is therefore accessible for a limited amoubt of people (not that this makes it good)

I thought it was a funny read, but I was suprised how far it goes in really giving me a sense of that warrior mindset, and it has a serious message under the humor and bad grammar

For me it answered the queation of "if nit this" (meaning modernity) "then what?" People keep diagnosing the problem and black pilling, this books make an effort to give a glimpse of the alternative

Its not a self help book btw deapite the title, it literally refers to the mindset of the bronze age man as he sees it, not some life hack nonsense

Why are you so against the notion that such book could infact lead to meaningful growth in a person?
Mockery is quite banal when there is not a kernel of truth in it.
Do you find it dangerous?
Or insulting, if just only personally.
I doubt many will find the path of an egoist to be a fruitful (as there is no actual path to speak of).
You certainly seem to draw from some of the bronze age mindset, as you clearly act on nothing but gut feel.
I wonder how many times you've actually decided not to click "Post" after writing the same drivel and platitudes about your chosen panacea to the problem.
