So my brother's turning into a teenager, which is a period were a lot of your presuppositions about the world is formed. I live in a very liberal place, I was driving past his school and saw the sodomy flag hanging from a pole on the school yard. This has me worried about what kind of indoctrination he's exposed to.

Luckily he's an avid reader, so I bought him the Book of Narnia, which I'm being told is a very Christian/Conservative book. I read a lot of negative reviews from feminists about how this book "reinforces muh traditional gender roles" which is a good sign to me.

What other books does /lit/ recommend me getting him, I want subtle Traditional and Conservative themes, it can't be explicit or "in your face".

Admirable but be careful, if he ever feels like you're spoon feeding him he will target you during his rebellious years. Try and let him feel like he's directing his rebellious energy at gobohomo, not at you as a parental figure. Anyway, if you're both not total pseuds you should get him into Tolkien as fast as possible. While he's reading, you should read In Search of the Indo Europeans, and Evola's Mystery of the Grail, so that you can slip him traditionalist mysticism while he's enjoying the superficial aspects of Tolkien's aesthetics (Use the films as a delivery vector for this). Once he understands LOTR as a hyperboreo-Catholic amalgam, not unlike gothic architecture itself, you can branch out.

I'd suggest keeping him in Novel land because teenagers have short attention spans. Get him into Beowulf (again use movies to hold his attention), and then when he's a little older give him John Gardener's Grendel to introduce him to existentialism through the Anglo Saxon aesthetic we've already been working on. If everything goes well Grendel can be a portal to the baby's first existentialists like Camus, and from there you're home free into the more serious mmainsteam philosophers of the last century. I would recommend Hugo's Les Miserables (again, with the films) when you're at the existentialism phase. It could help his teenage unrequited love thing be grounded in a more romantic sophistication if he identifies with Marius. Anyway

I know that feel. Your best course of action would be to unironically discuss internet things with him. I've redpilled my sister on the woman question and she calls girls "roasties" on her own now. The young react well to memes. Mock your opponents in a silly way and that'll help prevent your brother from becoming one of them. Spend a lot of time with him, don't just treat him like some generic sibling. Nothing irritates me more than how most Americans have a shit tier superficial relationship with their siblings, and even hate each other to a point. That's just wrong. He is your BROTHER, treat him like it.

Capitalism is a right win economic system, yet it undermines right wing society.
This is the same way progressives undermine left wing economics, hard to encourage unions or help the working classes or build cooperatives/corporations when tranny acceptance is at the top of every agenda.
For this reason the final synthesis of man is left wing economics combined with right wing values, or a bugman society in permanent decline.

just by keeping him interesed in literature and books in general you'll help him be critical of his surroundings and beliefs. don't push stuff down his throat, he'll resent you for it. my brother tried to do this to me, albeit with different views but his intent was the same as yours, and I never read the stuff he recommended. talk to him about whatever interests him and that'll make you a good brother

I suggest you take him to a third world country. Ask him to fetch water, and then let him hike several miles to the nearest well. Let him see innocent babies die because they are malnourished. Let him see how they slaughter a pig for food.

That should do the trick, then ask him about "rights."

Unironically this. Taking the crowded bus home, a muslim family was sitting right in front of me, whereas two typical young women were to my left. The contrast was incredible, and I regret my English not being good enough to properly express my thoughts. The modest, veiled woman talking quietly to her well behaved child seated on her lap, perpetual smiles accompanied by the occasional honest giggle. On the other hand, the typical two around 25 year olds: nine layers of paint on their faces, soulless eyes, almost naked (even though the temperature is not beyond 20 degrees), spell bound to their phones, aggressively hitting the touchscreen as if the lives of billions depended on their viewing of vapid posts on instagram.

A young individual is highly unlikely to be resillient to his surroundings, especially since the propaganda has become extreme during the last couple of years. A community is needed, and a both potent and valiant solution regarding the upbringing of your brother is indeed Islam.

Soooo, basically, you want to mindfuck your brother and brainwash him the way you want him to be, rather than let him make up his own mind?
You NEED to make it explicit and in your face, it's the only honest way to go. Otherwise, you risk turning him away forever when he realizes you were trying to cuck him with your own boolsheet.
