THE “RED PILL” IS A METAPHOR FOR ANOTHER KIND OF DELUSION; THE ILLUSION OF FALSE ENLIGHTENMENT.

"PILLS", AND OTHER SILLY METAPHORS ONLY OCCLUDE ONE FROM REALITY, ESPECIALLY IF ONE LACKS ANALYTICAL SKILLS, AND INTUITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE PRIMARY CAUSE FOR HAVING BEEN DELUDED ORIGINALLY; A RATIONAL PERSON IS IMMUNE TO DELUSION.

ID EST: “PILLS” ARE MINDCANDY FOR IDIOTS, AND “STUPID” PERSONS.

Why would you recommend anyone to read Mein Kampf? The only point to read it is either to research on Hitler or because you already love Hitler beforehand.

>>7041269
Why Parzival over Tristan or the Nibelungenlied?

>>7044613
Well, it doesn't.

>>7044647
Everyone has an opinion on Hitler. Too few people will look beyond what he did and try to understand why he did it.

Reading Mein Kampf probably won't make you think he's a good guy, but it'll show you he wasn't an out and out raving lunatic. He was charismatic and inspirational.

>>7044662
>tfw you spend so much time on a cantonese weapons trading forum that you start to develop empathy and admiration (non ironically) for hitler

pwahahaha you fucking retard

>>7039317
Thank you. Man, the State and War looks interesting.

>>7044667
I don't admire him. I just don't think people understand his reasoning or what led to his actions. Which is fucking appalling.

>>7044662
But he was a lunatic. His worldview was abhorrent and deluded, finding faults where he wanted to find them, and all that jazz. Mein Kampf gives us deeper insight into his lunacy, sure, but that's it.

>>7044683

>>7044685
I agree with everything. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It's a big ask to get through it. But if you're truly looking to understand WW2 it's pretty much a must read.

Too see his own shortcomings from a positively biased source is interesting.

>>7044687
Maybe they did. But people today don't seem to. Hitler seems to be used as a placeholder evil dude. Comparing this and that to him, or to nazism. It's grating. Perhaps if they truly knew Hitler's own ideology they'd be less inclined to do it.

>>7044659
Because you don't like the idea of it? Good point

>>7044806
But I like the idea of it. It still does not exist.

>>7038236
Elaborate? If you want to call something stupid you need to give a reason for saying so.

Not that guy, but it is arbitrary and founded on nothingness.

The Conspiracy Against The Human Race by Thomas Ligotti

Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard

No by Boyd Rice

>>7044859
Its stupid because you just have people rejecting certain parts of the mainstream or the blue pill followed by a uncritical acceptance of a new ideology called the red pill. Because they think it shows the true nature of reality their intellectual exploration stops dead as why explore anything else when you already know the problems/solutions?

>>7044941
its founded on the assumption that mainstream beliefs, and values systems are based on fake, shallow, pop culture goo invented and replicated to shape the 'correct' life (so called lifestyle) of ideal consumer, that's my definition of nothingness.

>>7045009
Yeah, but that is bullshit. Media influences the people, yes, but there is no big conspiracy behind it just because you happen to dislike the opinion of hte media.

>>7044859

no conspiracy, but willingness to make you stupider over time and more prone to further manipulation.

>>7044974
I'd rather have two ideologies to pick from. New ideology rarely says - reject everything, here is the truth. It explains phenomenas differently or, in opposition to mainstream, tries to explain something at all. 'The redpillness' is notion that after being given new point of view, previous seems weaker, naive, further from the truth etc.

>>7045143
what does it prove, might be as well based off Bugs Bunny shortie.

>>7045228
Nice meme bro

>>7040995
IN ORDER TO REASON YOU NEED TO DO MULTIPLE ASSUMPTIONS, PUT YOUR REASONING IN CONTEXT. RED PILLING GIVES YOU THAT NEW CONTEXTS AND "AXIOMS" TO REASON WITH. INTUITION DOES NOT ONLY COMES FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES, IF IT IS - IT'S FUCKING LIMITING BECAUSE "IT IS NOT THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MEN THAT DETERMINES THEIR BEING, BUT, ON THE CONTRARY, THEIR SOCIAL BEING THAT DETERMINES THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS." I'M FAR FROM BEING COMMIE BUT THAT SHIT IS TRUE NIGGA.

Evola pls

>>7044859
>If you want to call something stupid you need to give a reason for saying so.
Do you even know where you are?

>>7045214
>I'd rather have two ideologies to pick from.
The mainstream already contains multiple ideologies. One of the main problems I have with red pill philosophies is they end up being more narrow minded and one note than what they are criticizing. The other problem is its just right wing/reactionary viewpoints dressed up in a pretentious metaphor. Though kinda weak a book like the Handbook For Rebels and Outlaws (http://www.mediafire.com/view/ovpks97mmhvcxm4/Handbook_for_Rebels_and_Outlaw.pdf)) has more interesting tidbits than all the red pill stuff I've seen.

>>7045327
this tbh

>>7045327
Wouldn't the whole point of red pill be pointing out shit that is factually true that people aren't aware of, as opposed to picking a political ideology?

Stuff like don't be a beta pushover towards females in relationships no matter what they or the media tell you because they don't actually want that and will submit if you are assertive. (inb4 one in a thousand exceptions dominant woman who isn't just a switch)

>>7045487
Or the reality of race (there's people literally claiming race is a social construct, if that isn't "blue pilled" then I don't know what is)

>>7045487
>Wouldn't the whole point of red pill be pointing out shit that is factually true that people aren't aware of
If that is your definition of the "red pill" then it is a meaningless one as many people in the mainstream try to point out facts that they think people aren't aware off. People who take the "red pill" gravitate to a select few issues, the example you decided to use an excellent example of that.

>>7045487
Yeah, but mostly "red pill" is just a meme

>>7044662

Curiously, MK is two parts. What people who haven't read it don't seem to understand that the first half was written by a younger, idealistic and yet cynical Hitler who hadn't evolved into how we now know him. Read the first half, then read Barack Obama's first memoir - the language used by both men is amusing and jarring in its similarity ie shallow thinking by men who sincerely believe they are deep.

Assblasted SJW cuck detected, red pill is enlightenment about all the cultural Marxist cucks, you fucking nig

Red Pill threads are ok in my book (even if /pol/ kids come here) since there is a lot of recommendations about less known books.

Fucking sad

>>7051328
Cuck

>>7049507
The left wing stuff is probably there for bragging rights so that when one of the idiots finds himself cornered with the inevitable question "so, have you ever actually read any Marxist literature, or are you just parroting popular myth?" they'll be able to say they read the Communist Manifesto, thereby making them an expert in everything.
