CoC didn't turn me into a Nazi but it confirmed a lot of my suspicions about the links between Jews and the political left, Jews and psychiatry, Jews and the media, Jews and this kooky modern wave of sociology affecting college campuses, etc.

loved geneology as well. confirm or change?

Have you read his other works? I think CoC is third in a series, and the first couple actually drew praise from Jews because he wasn't writing negatively about them. I might be wrong...I have one on pdf, but haven't read it yet. What is his main argument?

GOM was a life changer. I think I first read it in my mid 20s, and most of it flew right over my head. Found it again maybe 3 years ago and it started me down the rabbit hole that led me to 4chan. I reread it every couple months, maybe just 1 essay at a time, and continue to learn new shit from it.

The first essay on slave vs aristocratic morality stuck hit me harder at first, but the last year or so the third essay on the Ascetic Ideal, which is foundational to my understanding of nihilism, has been really getting me thinking. I could write about it all day long, been thinking about starting a thread about it.

haven't read the others but CoC gets you up to speed pretty well. the main premise is that intellectual movements with mostly jews in their ranks tend to be a subtle advocate for Jewish ethnic interests even though these interests are not explicitly stated. for example, soviet communism's stance against the russian orthodox church. 85% of top USSR officials were Jewish.

GoM is one of those books where it's so dense that i can pick any paragraph at random and think about it for the rest of the day. his explanation of how a lack of outlets for aggression leads to self-hatred completely changed my view on anger.

Scholars characterize MacDonald's theory as a tendentious form ofcircular reasoning, which assumes its conclusion to be true regardless of empirical evidence. The theory fails the basic test of any scientific theory,the criterion of falsifiability, because MacDonald refuses to provide or acknowledge any factual pattern of Jewish behavior that would tend to disprove his idea that Jews have evolved to be ethnocentric and anti-white.[6]Other scholars in his field dismiss the theory aspseudoscienceanalogous to older conspiracy theories about a Jewish plot to undermine European civilization.[7]

Each chapter looks at a specific Jewish cabal from the 20th century and how it functioned to dismantle and divide gentile culture through critique. It's very repetitive because most of these cabals operated in a very similar fashion. The patterns drawn out again and again are: Jewish in-group preferences, neurotic fear of persecution as a uniting feature of Jewish tribalism, the use of gentile "front-men" for otherwise Jewish cabals, and the use of cultural criticism to create wedges between gentile factions (assuaging the aforementioned fear of persecution from these groups if they became united in their own interests). Reading it will tend to make you depressed and upset. It's quite rigorous and personally I've never seen anything it says disputed on factual grounds.

flattered.

they are actually. they just don't talk about in racial terms if they haven't vetted the people they are speaking to.

it's hard to explain but i'll try. i live in a predominately white suburb with a sprinkling of other races. lots of latinos and blacks come from other areas to hang out at the beach. they don't cause any problems. they stick to their own.

the moms wear yoga pants, drink starbucks, talk about podcasts, how horrible whatever CNN is complaining about is, etc.

however, if there is any rumor of low income housing being built in the vicinity, the true colors start to show. once again, race doesn't enter the discussion. but behind closed doors, my family is very race conscious and i assume everyone else is. when you build low income housing near the schools, that means a lot of black and latino kids with unstable home lives will inevitably bring violence to the school. but, in public, they'll say that its because they don't pay property taxes. which is true and a great way to dodge stupid interrogations about racism.

tl;dr white people in LA are not stupid and will hold their ground. it's almost like a colony of Orange County within LA County since all the successful men vote Republican.

The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day. The Jew had not the slightest recollection of the day before, he rattled off his same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; he couldn't remember a thing, except that he had proved the correctness of his assertions the previous day.

Sometimes I stood there thunderstruck.

I didn't know what to be more amazed at: the agility of their tongues or their virtuosity at lying.

Gradually I began to hate them.

Nobody ever says the thing on the right. "Minorities" (a total misnomer, whites are the one and only global minority) are a problem because they breed at a higher rate than whites, they are moving in at replacement levels, and they already outnumber whites. Race mixing within races is irrelevant.

Whenever it's said we need to have less children for the environment it fits this description, especially when it's taken together with that the same institutes promoting this viewpoint generally also support immigration to the very same countries.
