I loved it. Not as poetic as Musashi was, it's more of a war novel than an adventure. Towards the end the book loses steam but everything up to the last few chapters is well worth reading.There are a lot of Zen Buddhist lessons throughout the book that give spiritual insights that are rare in other books I've read about samurai, like Shinsengumi which is mostly about their will to power.

How is that related? Except you think of me as an communist, therefore you made that "funny" russian roulette joke, right?

Animal farm is a nice short read, I really liked how the laws of the pigs surpressed the mare that only wanted to eat sugar and look cute with things in her hair. Touched me somehow. These kind of characters are the reason there is still hope in this world.

Stirner.. really just read it for the laughs (yet I can relate to some of his ideas, but not the memed ones lol)

Already read Bernays. His book, compared to Ellul's, was mediocre. Ellul's is a deeper examination of the practical theory and its meaning in a social context. Bernays is simply autofellating in an oversized resume.

I also have a great body, I've gone consistently to the gym every week since I was 16 but I don't take selfies because I gave up social media at 19 once I realized it was all a jerk off fest of status and attractiveness and getting likes was like chain smoking cigarettes, even though I had over 250 likes in my profile pic.
I conquered my anxiety and became extremely sociable by just faking that I was confident even though I am just a very shy kid with jacked arms.
Anyways I can't prove I have abs of steel and a body more aesthetic than that japanese author of Sun and Steel that gets posted all the time.
Also am poor and am working full time at McDonalds this summer even though in September I'll be doing my masters thesis in an exchange program in neural eletrical stimulation.
I've consistently been the poorest kid in every single class I've ever been and yet I've achieved more than almost everyone I know.
And to top it all off I can't bring myself to brag about any of it in real life and this is the first time I've ever done so because I'm sure no one will read this and even if they will they won't give a fuck. But deep down I know it was the faint feeling that someone might be impressed by this got me writing. Anyways it feels good to type this out, even if it is just for myself.
