>>19846269
High-functioning alcoholic in flyover country who is in equal parts attracted by the distant comfort of antebellum South and, despite your resentment towards, the turgid blocks of concrete along both coasts. You are broadly "right wing", although you have lost track of what this means, and can only pin it down as a feeling, never nails it down to any convictions. You have become even more apolitical and apathetic in the last two years.

Siddartha/Steppenwolf- Hesse

Tropic of Cancer/The Colossus of Maroussi- Miller

The Trial/Short Stories- Kafka

Trakl - collected poems
Pushkin - collected short poems

You do not read these books out of any inborn sense of interest for them, but, unable to meaningfully (or at least convincingly) sublate your inferiority complex into your personality, you skim through these and bust out a few quotes when around people you openly hold in contempt and secretly envy. Your political views are a shadow of this behavior and deserve no serious attention.

No OP, but this is an edgy zoomer comment so you're probably at a phase of life where you're still experimenting with different ideas. You've figured out that neoliberal democracy is failing to deliver on its stated goals, but you're not sure what could replace it and you're too addicted to your phone to read a book, so you join different Discord servers in search of people more knowledgeable who can guide you. You watch Jreg and find him relatable.

Amia Srinivasan. She wrote an article about pronouns that was the most resentful, bitchy thing I've ever read. Here is the first paragraph

>I’ve had the wrong pronouns used for me – ‘he/him’ instead of ‘she/her’ – by two people, as far as I know. One of them was an editor at this paper, who I am told used to refer to me as ‘he’ when my pieces passed through the office. In his mind only men were philosophers. The other was Judith Butler. I had written a commentary on one of her books, and she wrote a reply to be published along with it. In the draft of her response, she referred to me by my surname and, once, as ‘he’. Just a few lines later she wrote: ‘It is surely important to refer to others in ways that they ask for. Learning the right pronoun ... [is] crucial as we seek to offer and gain recognition.’ I wrote her a meek email – this was, after all, Judith Butler – pointing out the error. She replied not twenty minutes later: ‘Sorry Amia! I always did have trouble with gender.’ Swoon.

Basically, when a man accidentally assumes she is a man it's sexist, but when a woman does it, "swoon!". Everything she writes is full of little bitchy shit like this. She must be annoying as hell in real life if she can't even contain it in writing.

You've read Evola? I don't need to read libertarian-socialist literature when I can simply interact with the libsuccs, realize I absolutely despise them on a personal level and infer that whatever books they're reading must be utter dogshit that reflects their bleeding-heart, hyperaltruistic personalities without any logical arguments whatsoever. I've yet to see a logical argument against National-Bolshevism. Just a bunch of Jews and homos desperately begging for their lives.
