Honest question, what exactly do you do if your package gets stolen by niggardly delivery drivers?

I rarely buy shit online so it's never happened to me, but like what if it's the new IPhone or graphics card or other similar extremely high value but small sized item?

>>18805849
Why don’t poor people like reading? If you weren’t raised reading books and all your friends/family aren’t readers, you probably won’t be interested in them.

>>18805881
You get a refund or a replacement sent

>>18805881
You just contact Amazon/customer service on your help/contact us page (they are really good (at least in the UK)), tell them about the item in question, how it never arrived even though it has allegedly been delivered and they'll find out who the delivery driver was and refund you the full price

>>18805885
I was raised in total poverty, sleeping on the floor of a 1 bedroom apartment. didn't even have dinner most days. I have over 400 books and don't act/look like a retard. What are the blacks' excuse?

>>18805913
I agree. I dropped out of high school, hadn't done homework since 3rd grade, and regularly outsmart everyone around me (not hard, Americans are pig-people) and act more mature than most adults who scream indoors when talking.

>>18805925
Welcome to being white. The only race of humanity that can start at the bottom and rise to the top or start at the top and crash to the bottom. Lol Americans are pig people but some of the none mouth breathing McMutts are okay kek. Good for you though anon sincerely most don't follow that curiosity and desire to learn it's important to feed curiosity and always work towards something.

>>18805885
I was a poor child and have never seen a relative holding a book for fun. Despite this, reading is my first hobby.
With nothing to do and almost no money (in a pre-internet era) books were an incredible and cheap form of entertainment.

>comparing individual poors to a group of poors
Silly. Poor people read less and people who don’t read have no reason to be interested in literature. Anyone can selectively pick individuals who go against the grain. But the main trend still holds true.

>>18805945
For what it's worth I'm awake at 4:43am trying to find faithful translations of the Kesh Temple Hymns and Instructions of Shuruppak in a physical copy (doesn't exist, what the fuck are publishers doing) to see how it aids in proof of the deluge myth and wiping of Hyperborea by historians, to make me a better fascist; of which I am.

I haven't slept in the same bed as my gf in months. She disgusts me.

>>18805953
Good for you, and all your dirt poor white peers, I’m sure they were also avid readers.

She has spent 3 years making a spare key to my apartment without my knowledge, threatening suicide (actually took pills) if I didn't date her, threatened to accuse me of rape if I didn't stay with her, and threatened me with telling the police I raped her at 17 years old (I met her when she was 18, I was 24.), and then threatened to go to the news and tell them I'm a pedophile (not true).

So basically I can't leave. But otherwise she's very nice and scratches my head and cooks me food and gives me a lot of money.

I used to work as a dishwasher in London with colleagues of other undesirable minorities, and some blacks would read books frequently, the particularly clever ones. Much more often than muslims, for example.
It's also good to remember that the african american psyche is somewhat different from that of their anglosphere counterparts.

>>18806056

Well she changed the passwords to all of my accounts and bank stuff and hid my car at her parent's house where I don't know where they live. I'm currently not allowed to leave the county (defended myself from someone coming at me and got made a felon). Been on a million interviews and even the high paying and low paying jobs don't want to hire a felon despite years of experience in my industry. So I have the state AND my yandere gf locking me into this situation.

How do we encourage black folks to read more and educate themselves?

>wiping of Hyperborea by historians
There's enough evidence of Hyperborea out there for anyone with enough brain cells to connect the dots. FYI, most of the "historical evidence" points to the Central Steppes, one just has to realize that this is simply incomplete evidence, and if one compares the historical progression of their descent, one notices that the Central Steppes were merely one stop on their migration from north to south. Why don't we have evidence of them further north? Well, there is some, but none historians will accept as valid evidence (because it is, for example, contained in the Vedas). The second reason is that further north one finds fewer sources of information because the entire area is vast and desolate in today's world. TL;DR don't try to pin this all on modern historians trying to cover things up, that's only partially the case (with respect to mythological records). There is actually not that much for them to go on. And you should be content that the Aryan migration theory (our of Central Asia) is actually widely accepted by academic scholars. The Out of Africa nonsense hasn't fully infiltrated the study of ancient history.

Fascism is characterised by its relativism and expediency. Mussolini actually characterised this as its strength.

>>18805999
Does this mean younger people are reading more?

But how the fuck have students of any age not read a book in the past 12 months? No one reads in school?

>>18805959
The permanent underclass don't read because it is completely antithetical to their culture and genetics after endless generations of dysgenic breeding. Libraries are free. English lessons at school are free. They need a much better excuse than 'we have no money'. Just like with how blacks commit way more rape than other groups. Crying 'poverty' is a way of transferring responsibility from self to society and a retreat to the comforting blanket of victimhood.

>>18806974
Not the anon you responded to, but there's a difference between the fascism of the 20-40's and the one of today. At the moment it's nearly impossible for us to get into power anywhere, so there's more room to seek inward and meditate on the ideological tenets instead.

>>18807081

They leave themselves behind. I worked in social care for years. Some people are literally beyond help, and I'm talking mainly about addicts. You could argue that because most of them have massive unresolved childhood trauma that it isn't their fault they became addicts. Fine. But unfortunately they still have to take responsibility for this thing that wasn't their fault to begin with. It isn't fair but it's the only way out. It definitely isn't the government's fault. If someone is chronically homeless in Britain you can be certain that they have been offered all manner of help from multiple organisations but have one way or another rejected or sabotaged it. They haven't been 'left behind' that's just leftist sloganeering anon.

>>18806183
This looks much more like the average leftcuck than somebody who would read Evola. I suppose this is just another case of leftist projection/delusion, since we know that these people are essentially of an inferior character and as such rely on telling lies to cope. If you think I'm wrong, just think about the average person who believes in the idiocy pushed by the left. This would be a tween girl mutt who doesn't know what gender she is and uses tiktok all day. Or maybe a mentally deranged tr*nny. Meanwhile the average right winger is a white man with a family who runs a business or has a professional career as an engineer or lawyer. Seethe, cuck.

This is the same essentialist argument used by the bourgeoisie concerning the "idle and unwashed masses". I generally agree with you though and me solely putting the blame on socioeconomic factors was wrong.
>Just like with how blacks commit way more rape than other groups. Crying 'poverty' is a way of transferring responsibility from self to society and a retreat to the comforting blanket of victimhood.
Of course, but it's unwise to ignore structural issues within the black community and in society at large. For e.g. Poor chinks will do better than the average nignog due to the scholastic culture they're raised in, but on average not as well as rich chinks.
Shows that there is something fundamentally different and inhibitive about the African American cultural script and the role that economics has in good outcomes (not being rapists)

>>18807265

>>18805999
Notice how asian are even on here.

>>18807284
No they aren't. Here in Britain, young boys from Africa are actually outperforming white boys in school, who themselves outperform black boys from the Caribbean. So 'racism' doesn't explain these disparities, but nor does straight up essentialism, clearly it's more complicated. (I'm the anon who originally replied to you, not the one you just replied to)

>>18807284
Yes, were you born yesterday?

>>18807373
No they aren't, the average IQ of Africans is around 70 or maybe less, which was considered borderline mentally retarded in Western nations until relatively recently. They also on average have a much smaller pre-frontal cortex, which is the part of the brain thinking ahead. There is much more evidence which I don't even care about, since it is so obvious that these people simply are not equal to other people. The way they behave in our (Western) nations and the way they behave in africa just makes it obvious that these people are dumb and primitive. Look at the BLM chimpouts in the US, and compare it to the riots in South Africa. Asians and White people don't behave like this, even when they are "oppressed," (if you think black people in the West are oppressed you are a halfwit).

According to out of africa theory they are our primitive ancestors, at least if you buy into that theory. Your belief that all people are inherently equal is so puerile and obviously false as soon as you broaden your mind enough to escape your modern conditioning.

>>18807428
These people are violent and primitive, at least going by our white/Western standards. Sure, in the past they were assimilated somewhat successfully and as a result could become integrated into Western society, but as soon as this stops (i.e. what modern leftist buffoons advocate for) they go back to behaving like feral animals (at least relative to our white/Western perspective).

>>18807428
I don't think that blacks are oppressed in the west and I don't think that all people are equal. Try not to get yourself worked up arguing with nobody. But how would you account for the disparate education outcomes between blacks in Britain if you are so wedded to bio-essentialism?

>>18805999
based asians not even there

>>18807373
Well, nowadays white men are told since birth that they are evil and should be ashamed of their existence (and the existence of their ancestors, who built society), while they are replaced in mass media despite being the main and essential demographic of the West. It is open season on white people, in the "cultural arena," and there are many examples of schools/teachers attempting to "decolonize curriculum" which is basically giving blacks better grades for inferior work. We should also consider the subconscious effects of your people being replaced in their own homeland.

Personally, I did not have any desire to perform above average in school, especially when I started seeing how much our sick society scorned people like me despite people like me founding modern civilisation. I still got an engineering degree from a "brand name school" and I must say, of the few Africans that were there, all were among the dumbest in the class. I hovered around average despite often skipping class and rarely paying attention. Most of the learning was done on my own. So I must question where you are getting this info on academic achievement from. I will return to this later.

Now at the same time, today blacks are constantly portrayed in positions of power by the corporations who control mass media (films/tv, ads, youtube/google/tech algorithms which all openly proclaim they want to put "black voices" at the forefront) and replace white men in their own roles all the time, despite being a useless minority group which has not contributed anything of importance to our society. Blacks are heavily favoured in all areas of Western society; they are admitted preferentially into universities, often requiring far lower academic standards; they are preferentially hired at big corporations; as was just said, they are favoured for advertising/algorithms in big tech, etc.; and all of this is for no good reason. The true purpose is to demolish the West for the global economic elite to consolidate power, but this is another issue.

To end these thoughts, I don't think it is all "essentialism" or all "racism". We can safely say that "racism" is irrelevant, since this has been entirely abolished in the West for a long time now, to the extent that we see the opposite effect happening in the mainstream. If you want to argue that foreigners face unique struggles when coming to our superior first world nations, that can be valid, but not "racism". I think that essentialism plays the larger part, but of course conditioning also plays a part. And yet "essentialism" also influences conditioning.

I would like to see where you are getting these stats from. The only way I could see it happening is if African elites send their children to expensive private schools, and they work their asses off, being 3rd worlders; while white boys from rich upper class families are mentally ill drug-addicts with no motivation at all. I have witnessed both of these phenomena.

I question this data. Where did you get this from?

I don't think it is purely biological, but I think biology plays the largest part. There are of course external factors influencing these things, but biology is much more relevant.

As for why it is happening, white men are being shit on endlessly and their societies are being overrun by 3rd worlders. Many or maybe most of my white friends suffered from mental illness and/or drug and alcohol abuse, because they feel this existential crisis, even if they lack the ability to recognize it. If I lived in London while being white I would probably kill myself or leave. Whites are victims of psychological warfare, particularly in britain, which has been dominated by evil (bankers) for awhile.

Bro, at the risk of rudely dismissing the pain which you feel, this is so stupid. The media and government push for Blacks is there, I don't deny that. But at the same time, you cannot just give up because other people have it easier than you. When has that ever been an acceptable option? Control what you can control, which is your own effort.

That was a weak response. A few differences:

My ancestors founded the civilisation (which has been destroyed) with the intent on leaving it for their offspring, not for ungrateful brutal 3rd worlders, who did not found the civilisation.

I am not very lazy, I said I had no desiret to perform above average in school, but I still worked hard to get a rigourous engineering degree, studying and working on projects for hours. I probably worked a lot harder than you, even in school. Outside of school I do many things and am not lazy. I don't see a problem with people like me being lazy in regards to things like school or work, because of the aforementioned point. But leeching off the welfare system and resorting to gang activity in the country graciously hosting you is entirely different.

You unironically used the word bigot, while you were not even able to engage with my long post on /lit/, so your opinion is of little consequence.

>>18807612
That is the goal of everybody pushing the delusional egalitarian belief system. It is happening. Westerners are victims of decades of psychological warfare. They have destroyed our culture, religion, family, values...pretty much everything. And now they are flooding our countries with 3rd worlders. Is this babbys first redpill or something?

I think people are misinterpreting my post, which was more meant to describe why white men are doing a lot worse now. As I said, there is an existential crisis occurring, and many lack the intelligence/introspection to detect it, but the outward effects are visible. I was only drawing from personal experience to add to the point.

>>18807690
Interesting, the data on it's face seems valid. Like I have been saying, the back of the white Western male has been broken, after decades of psychological warfare and 2 brutal wars (which killed or scarred most or all of the strong men). The global economic elite want them destroyed particularly because they are the only demographic which will put up a fight against their tyranny.

>>18807680
It is not much of a victory, since we are at the end of the kali yuga and the world will end, probably in 2030, but maybe after that year we will have some transitional phase into the next golden age. Most of humanity will be wiped out, and the people who won't be wiped out are drawn from those who are "awakened" and are mostly white. Asians are good worker bees, maybe because of their history of being brutally oppressed peasants, or maybe because of biology. But I don't see how you will be winning, since as it stands now most people are doomed.

asians aren't being openly attacked and replaced in all aspects of their own civilisations though. it really is open season on white people, and see how nobody here even denies it, at the worst they will just laugh at it, because they are scum who don't care about truth, like an Aryan.

Most of humanity will be wiped out, and the people who won't be wiped out are drawn from those who are "awakened" and are mostly white.

Oh, you think the Doctrine of the Ages is unique to "Hinduism"? I don't use /pol/ btw, but you don't care about the Truth, you care about staying in your delusion bubble.

Literally who cares, its fair game and if its funny then its funny. Next you are going to point out most tiktoks are scripted

>>18807935
It is precisely because I care about truth that I don't rush to embrace ideas like the Doctrine of the Ages. Are you taken in by every impressive-sounding notion? Every idea that rings with pretty noises? There are multiple mutually exclusive apocalyptic beliefs. What makes you choose one over the other? Usually people do so on the basis of some kind of religious authority, because of a revelation -- but you have no organic religious traditions, only 'Tradition'. I think, for you, if I know you at all, it is because you want to give your dissatisfaction with the world a cosmic grandeur. You don't care for Truth at all. You have no intellectual discipline.

Black people rioted in the downtown area of my city in May of last year and the bookstore was one of the only unprotected businesses that didn’t really get looted or damaged. (It’s next door to a sneaker store. You can imagine what happened there.) Black people are worthless.

>>18808021
Just imagine the book or have someone describe it to you. Also, libraries exist, dumpass.

>>18808034
>the bookstore was one of the only unprotected businesses that didn’t really get looted or damaged.
don't worry anon, they'll have to only publish books by Black™ people soon

>>18805895
I was homeless when I was a teenager. (That’s part of why I like reading so much. The library was free to hang out in, and I’d check out books to take with me and read when it closed.) You’d think it would make me very sympathetic to poor people (and in some ways it has; poor people get fucked in all directions), but it’s aggravating watching people make excuses for them, particularly poor black people, as though they have no personal agency. And it’s typically middle and upper middle class white people doing this.

>>18808034
>the bookstore was one of the only unprotected businesses that didn’t really get looted or damaged.
Remember when that happened with that big classic community bookstore with lots of rare and irreplaceable books, Uncle Hugo's, so a white antifa guy ran up and threw a molotov through the window?

Friend of mine used to always say that if you need to hide something, hide it in a book because the kind of people who steal don’t steal books.

Upset that I exposed the inconsistency in your worldview and shattered the force of your hollow rhetoric? Don't talk about 'metaphysical evil' you rootless numpty. For you metaphysics is just an enlargement of your emotions to cosmic scales. You are hot-headed. Aquinas would KILL YOU!!!

People like to blame Blacks for destroying stuff, but honestly, from what I saw of BLM riot footage, Blacks who rioting were at least looting stuff, so there was a economic incentive there. There were more White rioters than Blacks anyway, and the Whites were destroying stuff just to destroy stuff and mess up the community. It was a major redpill on who the actual problem in America is.

>>18808174
The rioting in my neighborhood was probably 90 percent black and Latino. They burned down my favorite Japanese restaurant.

>>18808174
Yeah some of that shit was really glowing. Either antifa really is just that ugly and fucked up, that they want to smash a bunch of black owned mom and pop store windows in a lower middle class neighborhood systematically with hammers one by one, or someone else was using the riots for cover to further destroy and disorient the poor.

Probably a combination of both.

>>18805915
>dead british retard
what's your point?

>>18808174
ah yeah niggers were stealing and smashing shit but it was because they had an economic incentive due to muh poverty, we all know that niggers eat electronics and sneakers
nigger is not capitalized btw

>>18806924
This is why Jews focus all attention on them with religious zeal. If you have to pretend blacks and whites are magically equals and that all black problems are caused by white people then your society is completely fucked and distracted away from the psychotic evil of Jewry and their perpetual crimes committed against humanity and planet earth. Blacks are a biological weapon used by Jews to wage war.

>>18808196
>Yeah some of that shit was really glowing.
Pretty much. If I was to put my "tinfoil hat" on, I'd say it was leftists trying to erode the Black economic base so that they'd be forced to side with the left out of necessity.

>>18808208
I always get a bit of a laugh when I read an article and black is capitalized when they’re talking about people but white is not. Sometimes it’s even in the same sentence.

There are very few things that make me go "damn, we're really in the kali yuga here" anymore but that was one of them.

I think the last time I really had a "wow" moment was when some of the most egregious muslim attacks happened in Europe, and I guess some part of me still assumed that average joe whites would have to respond to that level of brutality, and then they didn't, they turned on their fellow whites for decrying it yet again and implicitly asked for more. That was the last time my expectations for average people really dropped a qualitative level, and I realized they can live in an entirely sealed bubble of insanity for decades.

The Black/white thing, for some reason, was one of those moments for me. It signifies so much. They really will invite their own slavery, they really are like the guy the Turd Eater pushes off the gangplank in Camp of the Saints, as he dies happily knowing he let the horde into Europe, since there was truly nothing left of him to rebel or feel resentment at the horde's thanklessness. Humans can be pushed far lower than we think.

>>18805849
Peabrained take. They obviously already had a copy of the three critiques – who doesn't already? It's the poster that's a pleb, for not already having them. What, are you going to order a copy of the Bible or the Oyssey next? Even our thieves are literate in America.

You never answered the question, presumably because you don't know or because answering it would weaken your frail points. My beliefs come from what is perennial to all Traditions worthy of the name, such as the Doctrine of the Four Ages, among many others, and from personal spiritual experience which validates these Traditions and the reality of metaphysics for me. As you correctly noted, there are many "apocalyptic" beliefs (however this "belief" is only a single aspect of the aforementioned perennial Doctrine), and not all of them are valid. There is no need here to get into how validity is determined, if you are curious you could do the bare minimum of research required to look into Traditionalism. I don't want to waste more time on this.

Why do you think that an "organic" religious tradition, or an exoteric (contingent) religious form, would hold more validity than what is perennial and what exists objectively in metaphysical reality (the esoteric)? This is imbecilic and juvenile, and shows that you have no spiritual intuition (surprise).
>I think, for you, if I know you at all
Yes, you don't at all. Keep trying to psychoanalyse me from a 4chan post, and then in the next sentence claim I'm the one with no "intellectual discipline" (and nice opinion on what Truth is, that's cute).

I shall continue to exit my body at night, or see energies in altered states of consciousness, or split my consciousness into a fourfold diaphanous body while meditating, among other things...but at the risk of "casting pearls before swine" I shall leave you here.

He's completely fucking right. Why the fuck would you play a game if the other team is given 5 points instead of one and you are punished for no reason for things you didn't do? You stop playing the game. There's no fucking point struggling only to be discarded because of meme factors that have nothing to do with how hard you work. Of course if you create a context where merit is worthless, people won't work hard. The reason why our society produced so much was that, more or less, it made clear that merit would be rewarded and more broadly, it was a society that was worth living in and working for.

>>18808315
There's a difference between sitting on your ass in a meritocratic society and complaining AAA MUH CRACKAZ BE HOLDING ME BACK, and deciding that it isn't worth it to do shit in a society that isn't meritocratic.

>>18808298
Except it is

>>18808301
This perennial stuff is a 19th century invention. It's just a mode of literally analysis masquerading as metaphysics. No one today who studies ancient texts, cultures, and myths, takes this seriously, but you'd probably dismiss anyone who expresses scepticism about the particular methods and beliefs of 19th century orientalist mystics as "soulless bugmen" or whatever. It's completely contrary to the rational spirit of every tradition it co-opts. One cannot imagine the great theologians and philosophers of the Middle Ages, either in Christian Europe or the Islamic Middle East, falling for this voodoo.

>>18808315
>Why the fuck would you play a game if the other team is given 5 points instead of one and you are punished for no reason for things you didn't do? You stop playing the game.
This is their demoralization effort at work. Why would you give in to this? Are you really this weak and retarded? It IS unfair and destructive and evil. But this is war. You don’t just drop out and zone out masturbating in your trench just because it looks like the Globohomo Zionist Leftwing Authoritarian El Salvadoran ZOGbots are coming down hard on you.

THERE IS NO OPTION TO NOT PLAY THE GAME
