Wow, an operator AND a reader. I’m so impressed anon. Such depth, intellectual yet masculine!

if not a joke, embarrassing

>>13751716
that's such painfully obvious projection i'm amazed anyone could say, let alone type this without realizing

>>13751638
Contrived, kind of embarrassing, kind of boring, and not enough fiction.

>>13751783
Are you kidding? Look at that shit. Do you think those guns weren't ever-so-carefully placed there for the photo? That the photo wasn't posted here specifically to give that impression? It's a carefully-stacked display by a terrifyingly immature mind desperate to give a "wise, educated, redpilled, and dangerous" impression--and OP (or whoever actually owns the shit) bought them with just as much self-consciousness about image. This isn't some random stack shot.

>>13751806
you're just elaborating your projection

>>13751638
Are those two Clint Emerson books worth reading?
The Survival Edition looks much better than the other one imo.

>>13751816
I didn't make the first observation, but I'm also not in denial about what I'm looking at. I've known a few libertarian/survivalist-wannabe types in my time.

>>13751866
so what constitutes me is memes about things i enjoy gotcha

>>13751816
How often are internet accusations of projection accurate? I'm guessing somewhere above 0% and below 3%.

>>13751638
i'm getting the vibe you haven't finished a single one of those books

>>13751912
thanks for the guess very cool

Well you have Crime and Punishment, that saves you from 0/100. 1/100.

>>13751638
You're not going to read most of it so just go with the lite version, like pic related.

The person who took this shot wants to appear dangerous, hence the guns. and Intellectual, hence the books.
You know that this was intentionally set up because the gun is in front of the door, and also it's leaning on the books. if you actually read those books then you'll have to move the gun.

basically just another young white male, probably a virgin, ready to roleplay as the next mass shooter.

He's using objects to represent himself as someone who is intelligent and capable, the desire of most men.
He's using objects I assume because he's not social or charismatic enough to make people think he's smart in day to day conversation, and he is likely overweight or skinnyfat and not very physically intimidating.
It would be amusing to know if he actually READ most of those books or if he had half of them on an indefinite backlog.

if he wanted to be more honest to his true reading habits I bet the stack would be full of manga and popular fiction like harry potter and lord of the rings.

Consider reading a book-length work of non-fiction sometime, anon. A serious suggestion.

>>13754711
>redundant copies of the Timaeus, Republic
I share books with my family and friends so I don't mind having extra copies.
>b-but d-different t-translations
Try reading a shitty translation of Parmenides, Theaetetus, or Timaeus.
>the Plato omnibus is unread
I've read a good deal of Plato's corpus but I rarely read from that particular edition as I do a good deal of my reading away from home and it is obviously impractical compared to the cheap Hackett paperbacks.
>the presence of even a single volume of manga
I have no excuse.

>>13754713
A friend lent it to me recently wanting to know what I thought of it, I've only read the first hundred pages. The dialect is surprisingly difficult to get through as an American but there is a serviceable glossary and I've found that sub-vocalizing the characters with stereotypical accents makes the dialogue flow smoothly for the most part. I do like it so far; It has a very brutally honest narrative style and does a good job of making you feel like you need a shower. Seems to be a very accurate portrayal of the ways of junkies so far.

>>13751638
t.retard with a small dick. I bet you don't even know how to use those guns.

>>13754713
American here, and I didn't think the dialect was too confusing. Spelling tripped me up a bit, and I certainly read slower, but I never had to look anything up.

I’ll admit that collecting antique books is one of my main hobbies

>>13754960
(3/3)
Why do you guys enjoy collecting books?

>>13754966
Part of it is that the thought of having something to pass on to children or whoever is satisfying. If your books help to build who you are, leaving behind a small library is liking leaving behind part of yourself. I'm always reluctant to collect older books because it feels like taking on the responsibility of preserving a piece of history, but I have respect for those who do it.

7/10, don’t see much use in carrying that much ammunition considering i prefer shooting at distances. rate mine

>>13755016
Makes sense. Some of my books have left an impact on me but others i wanted for other reasons.
Call me a faggot if you want but there is something romantic in the idea that my books meant something to someone at some point. I love finding old signatures or notes left over. The old owner left part of their soul in this book and now it’s mine. My most valuable books (to me personally) are subjects or stories I will never fully read

Legitimately curious, are there no other /k/ cross posters here? Notwithstanding their aesthetic value as beautiful pieces of machinery, surely you all can see the merit of the inherent right of every individual to self-defense, and whether left or right on the political spectrum surely you can see the benefit of an armed populace. I'm legitimately curious as to why there's such an overwhelming hate of the OP.

>>13755710
LOOK AT THE FUCKING BOOKS RETARD

>>13755710
There are a lot of factors at work here. One is the tendency of members of groups to instinctively oppose anything that the "other" group values highly. I'm sure there is a term for this, but I don't know what it is. It's not exactly a well kept secret that /lit/ has a large population of leftists. Even though an armed working class aligns with leftist ideology, they would rather act against their own self-interest than admit that the "others" are correct about something. This is the same principle that (ironically enough) makes conservatives oppose the conservation of our environment.

Another factor is that people who study the humanities are much more likely to be city-dwellers; they have developed in an environment that has little connection with nature. They never hunt for their food, have no need to defend livestock/crops, etc. They are accustomed to always being surrounded by large numbers of citizens and government officials and therefore have a sense of security and power as part of the herd. The modern American leftist seeks power as part of a collective so it's not very surprising that the idea of an individual having actual power makes them fearful and uncomfortable.

>>13756017
NO NIGGER IT'S THAT THIS RETARD DOESN'T READ AND THIS IS A BOARD THAT VALUES READING (most easily demonstrated through stack threads)
