The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra

what is red pill?

>>6466971
Are you implying Jesus is the red pill?

>>6466963
you are 14 years old.

>>6467026
your mother is 14 years old.

>>6466963
You must excuse the heavy pick up abbreviations and the convulated writing but this book will hit you like a brick with real talk.

For government and the world system:
>1984
>Brave New World

For the way we live and our desires:
>The Stranger
>Metamorphosis
>Death of Ivan Ilyich
>Anthem
>The Picture of Dorian Gray

And these are really short books yet very much effective.

This is red pill as fuck, but /pol/ won't like it (or understand it, for that matter)

>>6466963
The Unobservable Universe by Scott Tyson is the most fascinating and redpill book I've ever read.

CAN WE STOP SAYING 'RED PILL' UNIRONICALLY ON HERE, THANKS

>>>/pol/

Basically everything in pic related

>>6467253
Is this a joke? I know you're going to think I'm just being a typical elitist c/lit/ but these books are so widely read and fully integrated into our culture that you can hardly be redpilled by them.

>>6467286
Because /pol/ understands economics and grew out of leftist dribble long ago.

>>6467302
the term red pill can be used with literature

>>6467319
/pol/ a shit

>>6467319
why are you here???????? whats going wrong in pol that you are venturing to lit?

>>6467319
>/pol/ understands

Oxymoron

The New Totalitarians
The camp of the Saints

They're books written in the 70s, the first one talks about what happens right now in Sweden, the second is about (a lot of) boat people.

>>6467330
No one cares about his shit views on /pol/, because everyone else share them on there.

Here he gets attention because people like you respond to his half-baked shit stirring

>>6467319
Honestly, they should've let Hitler try and fight another 10 years just so you would stop spouting this "/pol/ understands economics" bullshit.

That's how dull and irritating I find you, I'd rather subject Europe to another 10 years of war just so you would shut up

>>6467319
>Because /pol/ understands economics

>>6467330

>>6467331

you are an oxymoron

Good one.

>>6467341
this is correct

>>6467340

>Honestly, they should've let Hitler try and fight another 10 years just so you would stop spouting this "/pol/ understands economics" bullshit.

ehh I mean Natsoc did have its points and is far better than any sort of Marxism however is still pulls from the masses of society

>That's how dull and irritating I find you, I'd rather subject Europe to another 10 years of war just so you would shut up

Yeah you're pretty dull yourself with your constant butthurt

>>6467343
Why don't you stay there and never come back then? It's not like anyone's gonna miss you here.

>>6467354
This.

This is a Marxist board it seems and people genuinely believe that what Hitler tried to do was wrong. They need to be red pilled like the two of us Evola.

Let's invite them to join us over at /pol/ so they can find out what objective truth really is.

>>6467364
>Why don't you stay there and never come back then? It's not like anyone's gonna miss you here.

Because I'm discussing literature and fighting leftists here

It's a tie between "Ishmael" and "Confederacy of Dunces".

>>6467370
>discussing literature
Nigger, please. You're trolling at best.

Yeah, pretty sure Mussolini would be proud of you.

The one who made this list has obviously never read anything of this. This is the most retarded list I've seen posted on this board.

not categorized as reactionary? Categorized as religious?

That book is legendary though. Must read, especially for anyone still in the university.

>>6467403
>How does it feel to be 12?
idk ask who ever contributes to those /marx/ threads

>>6467409
Both

>>6467415
The list itself is a joke. There are good books here and there, but labeled as something they obviously aren't.

>>6467425

Right wing ideology isn't intelligent. Nationalism even more so. Just tribal warriors in nicer clothing.

>>6467425
>idk ask who ever contributes to those /marx/ threads
Damn, /pol/ really is the most intelligent board.

>>6466968
why is stalin viewed as an evil mastermind?

>>6467431
Rofl you leftwingers are so easy to trigger.

Gas the kikes race war now

>>6467399
How is Kaczynski not deeply reactionary?

>>6467431
>Right wing ideology isn't intelligent. Nationalism even more so. Just tribal warriors in nicer clothing.

looks like you got your right and left mixed up again.

>>6467431
It's interesting that you lack the self-awareness to recognize your own bigotry. I often find that is true of leftists.

This only happens every blue moon, but I legitimately feel embarrassed for you. The marxists in this thread are meme spamming retards, which is bad enough, but you actually make them look like decent people. Honestly, it really pains me to see that people like you exist. How do you manage to breathe? Do you have the slightest shred of self-awareness? How in the hell haven't you offed yourself yet? Do people in real life know you're a neonazi poseur on a chinese cartoon forum? Do your parents know about what you're doing? Please leave your mom's phone number here so I can inform her of this utter degeneracy.

He also posts in /fa/ kek

>>6468131
What makes you think I'm triggered?

>>6468139
You don't just disagree. Leftists actively try to suppress the opposition. They don't follow the adage "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

>>6468160


Are you trying to be ironic? That's exactly what the right wing does. Disagree with them and they flip their shit. Unlike liberals who actually would die for your dumb ass to say stupid things.

>>6468205
>Are you trying to be ironic? That's exactly what the right wing does. Disagree with them and they flip their shit.
Really? Has somebody ever had his life ruined for professing a leftist opinion on air? Has an academic ever been ostracized for his leftist opinions?

> Unlike liberals who actually would die for your dumb ass to say stupid things.
Are you talking about 19th century classic liberals or today's "liberal" ?

>>6467286

lel, I think you're the one who doesn't understand him. Maybe you should go outside and play some neighbourhood soccer or maybe throw a sandwich at someone in an academic conference. Do anything but post on 4chan.

You're a dumb fucking cunt m8

>>6468219

Oh no, people lost their job for saying stupid things that companies don't want them representing. Welcome to the private sector.

The kind of liberal who likes making government actually function. I don't worship the state, it has a job to do within society.

You paint with broad brushes it seems. You're just like the people you profess not to agree with.

>>6468219
>Has an academic ever been ostracized for his leftist opinions?

Norman Finkelstein lost his job.

I'm talking about nowadays, not the 1950s.

And anyways, MacCarthy was eventually vindicated

>>6468240
>Oh no, people lost their job for saying stupid things that companies don't want them representing. Welcome to the private sector.
So that is perfectly fine, but firing an employee because a company has to cut costs is bad?

>The kind of liberal who likes making government actually function. I don't worship the state, it has a job to do within society.
That's not a clear definition.

>You paint with broad brushes it seems. You're just like the people you profess not to agree with.
No, I might generalize but I in no way want to restrict the freedom of speech of those who disagree with me.

>>6468251
Finklestein wasn't fired because of his leftist opinions, but because he attacked Zionism.

>>6468275
>And anyways, MacCarthy was eventually vindicated

So you think that people should be fired for their political opinions?

What the fuck are you complaining about then

>>6468283
>So you think that people should be fired for their political opinions?
No, that's not what I said. Can't you read?

>>6468288

>No, that's not what I said
>...

Then what did you say? From where I'm sitting, 'MacCarthy was eventually vindicated' sounds somewhat like 'what he was doing was justified.' Considering that part of what MacCarthy did was blacklist people and get them fired for their political beliefs, it seems unreasonable for you to say that the fault is his for 'misinterpreting' you.

>>6468305
>Then what did you say? From where I'm sitting, 'MacCarthy was eventually vindicated' sounds somewhat like 'what he was doing was justified.'
No, what he did wasn't correct. I was just commenting on the fact that his allegations were right. But I don't agree that they should have lost their jobs.

You really don't know how to read.

>>6467366
>objective truth
ayy

>>6466963
There aren't, like, contradicting elements on this picture or anything.

spinoza's ethics

>>6468330

If you don't agree that they should have lost their jobs, why is the truth of the allegations even noteworthy? If there was no risk attached to being an 'exposed' communist, then why would they hide it? And if there was nothing wrong with being a communist, why have a trial to find out if somebody is one?

>>6468367
>If you don't agree that they should have lost their jobs, why is the truth of the allegations even noteworthy?
Geez, it was just a comment. Why are you so hung up over it?

>If there was no risk attached to being an 'exposed' communist, then why would they hide it?
I never said there was no risk. There was obviously a risk. Again, can you read?

>>6467357
Oh my god, my niece got me this book for my 16th birthday.
