depends on how old you are. if youre 19 now you should read something that takes 6 years to finish and youll be 25 and not an edgy teen anymore. if youre 23 read something that takes 2 years and so on. /pol/tardation is really just an illness for Teens and people in their early twenties.
if youre older than 25 and a /pol/tard you should genuinely kill yourself

Have you read Plato? Read his complete works.

>>20753746
Read Aristotle's Politics if you have the attention span, it's a good bridging work from /pol/emics into actual political theory, which is neither SJWorthless nor /pol/emical.

Don’t listen to Pseuds like this. These guys were pedos and tolerated slavery in their society. Pretty much don’t read anyone born before 1800 because they’re basically /pol/acks (pedo racists).

Touch grass, but unironically. Pick up a hobby, or ideally a sport. Something where you can't just stay inside. I like skiing.

>>20753814
Aristotle refutes homosexuality in the first book of Politics. Also his conception of slavery was very little different from what is considered acceptable in modern society, he considered even technicians and specialists who did not own land to be functionally slaves.

Going outside is when I become a polchud. Though if you're some affluent ski-resort frequenter, your surroundings might not be the same.

Then it does not really matter what you read but I would recommend reading all that stuff which used to make you seethe if you really want to break old habits.

>Going outside is when I become a polchud. Though if you're some affluent ski-resort frequenter, your surroundings might not be the same.
If you live in the mountains it's actually not that expensive. Aside from the initial investment (which can actually cost you), you just get an epic local pass for $650 a year.
Costs even less (in theory) if you get into backcountry, but you need friends for that, and you need to be a proficient skier with proper safety training and equipment.

>>20753746

Good question. I just kind of grew out of /pol/ retardation as I grew older and interact with real people in the real world.

Go with this. Best volumes on state building and what makes high performing countries high performing. It's not so much Fukuyama's own additions that make it so good as it is that he summarizes all the work on the topic, from ancient philosophers to modern polsci and lists the arguments for and against them well.

Fukuyama had a reputation as a neocon, but this is pretty far off the mark and just due to his political work. But you don't have to love an administration's policy to work there. I find he's much more idiosyncratic and willing to challenge assumptions.

The End of History is good to. The article is fine, the book adds detail but the thesis doesn't change too much. Or read the book but stop after he explains Hegel's theory of history if you want. It's a great lens for reading history and explains Hegel in easy to understand ways. Unfortunately, he fuck up Hegel, doing Kojeve's truncated version and doesn't get that the dialectical will keep producing contradictions in modern liberalism, which we've seen in the years since. But it's still a good work.

The Great Courses political philosophy course is ok too.

But really to expand your horizons I would actually look at their courses on Monday Body Philosophy, Chaos Theory, and Information Science. Absolutely excellent primers. The Rise of Information is a good book if you like the information course. I will warn that it starts math heavy, but after a few lectures it gets into how information theory is applied to physics, biology, and economics.

/pol/ is simplistic drivel aimed at fueling outrage.

>>20754743
*Mind Body Philosophy

Also pic related. Expand your horizons and you find that the /pol/ mindset of imagined manichean struggle is incredibly small minded.

>>20753746
>t will challenge a /pol/-esque worldview.
There are no unironica /pol/-users you moron. It is an entirely satirical website where any and everyone goes to attack, get attack and laugh at it all.

YOU are plebbit or even discord with your mentality that your political view is serious and a true conviction. You are the reason /pol/ has been a lot less fun in recent years, and you should leave Immediately!

>>20754749
Last rec on the expanding horizons front.

The Great Courses econ class is decent enough too. It's sort of milquetoast neolib in some places, but definitely will get you to realize /pol/ argument around econ are generally based off profound misunderstandings of the field and its findings.

Great Courses are way cheaper on Amazon. You can either subscribe to the videos for $7 a month or get a bunch of the classes for free off their Audible platform.

Their modern philosophy course is good too, but a bit too wide. The Conservative Tradition one is quite good, and shows how current /pol/ conservatism has gone way off the rails.

>>20754757
Nah, I have a friend who went full /pol/ and basically alienated himself from all his friends and now lives with his parents at 32 because no one wanted to be roommates with him anymore because of the political spewing. And he can't move out because he spends all his money on guns and his Boog load out, but also doesn't work out.

It really fed his oppression complex, but he was the one who kept bringing up politics and attacking people. Sort of afraid he's going to shoot himself or shoot up some random place. Also lost his GF and never got one again after 2016.

He's an ok guy at hear through and not full /pol/. The only openly 1488 people I know are convicted felons and drug addicts with illegitimate kids they don't support, who don't work, which is pretty ironic.

Don’t worry my man, you’ll be good. I’ve found that David Foster Wallace’s writing has helped me become a more compassionate and happier person. If you’re looking for somewhere to start with him I’d recommend listenan to his speech, “This is Water.”

It is not perfect but it explains some of the psychological mechanisms that lead to dehumanisation of out groups.

>>20753746
I've been down the same road.
My radicalization wasn't intellectual in nature, so I have no book recs. But you should understand that radical online communities largely work by severing your connection to greater society. The best thing you can do is reforge a connection to your community/society, make new friends and try to spend your free time with people.
Hatred, alienation, and fear are more difficult to hold on to than you think, and they can't survive friendship/companionship.
Best of luck.

>>20754773
>alienated himself from all his friends
That's how it goes. They made me into an overly-aggressive weirdo who desperately inserted politics into every conversation in an attempt to either root out sjws who wanted my head or hopefully convert sheep to this Truth I'd discovered.
Naturally people stop wanting to be around you, which feeds your sense of victimhood.

whatever shit they got in your head with do like that pepe meme and "just stop caring" like whether the people were fascists, communists, religious nuts, whatever just stop caring. jeff bezos has a really big yacht? i don't care.

>The only openly 1488 people I know are convicted felons and drug addicts
Wow, what a surprise! The only people who openly support an ideology that's taboo in modern society are those who operate on the fringes of society. Weird how that works.
Anyone with half a brain who holds /pol/-tier views hides their power level until they're anonymous or around like-minded individuals, because they like being employed.

Watch Destiny

>>20753746
Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti has a good critique of fascist/ultranationalist thought and how it arose, if that helps.

>>20753802
This won't fucking help you. TradLARP shit will not help OP.

OP, read the news and take notes. Mainstream sources. Financial Times, The Diplomat, CFR, all that cuck globohomo shit. Read Schwab unironically if you're brave.

There's a series by Oxford called Very Short Introductions, they average around 200 pages in length and cover a variety of topics, all written by experts. Go to libgen to find any book you're after.

Honestly, writing will benefit you just as much as reading will at this stage. When I wanted to tear myself away from /pol/shit I kept a diary and would ask myself "why do I believe x?", then tease out any contradictions and difficulties in my thinking from there. Doing that and sticking with it will help you a lot more than reading Aristotle will.

>>20754757
Ok faggot go fuck yourself, this board is literally full of retards who don't like reading and literally come here to promote their garbage philosophy no normal person cares about, seriously
>inb4 "Noooo you can't attack MEEE!".
I literally don't care what they do in /pol/ but saying it's ironic is literally stupid, there are plenty of unironic idiots there because they are driven to the site owing to its previous history.

>>20753746
>ctrl+f start with the greeks

This board has really gone down the drain
Start with the greeks OP

As others have said, /pol/brain is really an ingroup/outgroup tribalistic bias, rather than a rational intellectual proposition per se, so it's difficult to recommend books to overcome it. I think the best thing you can do is make acquaintances with people in your outgroups IRL (be that left of centre people, women, Jews, whatever), and realise most people are just ordinary human beings trying to make their way in the world, the same as you.

That said, it may help to read empathetically (that is, with empathy and understanding, not necessarily sympathy with their conclusions) some tracts by authors in your outgroup who explained their position in society. W.E.B. DuBois' the Soul of Black Folk and Mary Wollestonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women, maybe. But those are just suggestions.

>>20753859
What's right with it?

if your first inclination is to bring up trannies and jews in a conversation then you might be a pol neck.

First off you must come to the conclusion that jews while being highly successful arent the only ones that control the world, there are wasps, arabs, han chinese, its almost like its multiple groups and tribes with their own agendas battling to control things

A few pages of any beginner's book on logic will do, since all their views are based on logical fallacies such as ad hominem.

>>20753746
You just need to realize that most people are stupid, and not that great. Then it is not that hard to not take most things too seriously. If you feel like developing original thinking, maybe read the classics of opposite views, and seriously learn that shit. As in reaching a level of being able to lecture other people in them, it is not that hard, but it does take effort and some time. Definitely doable in a year or something by yourself if you are a fried brain neet.

Well, reading Orthodox jews explain why Hitler came to power (because of social decay, oppressive war treaty, rampant pornography and prostitution, and immigrants) made me stop being so anti-semitic.

>>20755505
Sounds very inauthentic. But if you are good at self delusion it might just work.

>>20760818
Hitler was controlled opposition and called a "Moshiach" by many Jews. The whole goal was to create the thesis of degeneracy and then the antithesis with Hitler, so they can manipulate Germany into a devastating war with Russia and have their blood sacrifice of gentiles to scapegoat their sins. Also, top rabbis wanted to sacrifice some of their own people for assimilating.

Chrono Trigger is the shit. Best OST of all time.

And the characters and rascists. They don't totally shit in the dinosaurs, the mystics, the robots, etc. They just try to solve problems.
