Is this supposed to offend anyone? You're making fun of someone for not having money to spend? What's the point in that? Are you trying to make yourself feel better about being in a financially more well-off position? Are you trying to make a stranger feel bad for not wasting money?

implying Marx isn't the true redpill

>[T]he task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice of life, the summit of which is the money system.

>The fact that 1855 years ago Christ drove the Jewish moneychangers out of the temple, and that the moneychangers of our age enlisted on the side of tyranny happen again chiefly to be Jews, is perhaps no more than a historical coincidence.

>Let us consider the actual, worldly Jew -- not the Sabbath Jew, as Bauer does, but the everyday Jew. ... What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money… Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man — and turns them into commodities. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.

>Thus we find every tyrant backed by a Jew, as is every pope by a Jesuit. In truth, the cravings of oppressors would be hopeless, and the practicability of war out of the question, if there were not an army of Jesuits to smother thought and a handful of Jews to ransack pockets.

Duuude can you post the table of contents of "fleur de lys"? I've been looking for a short book on French monarchy and stumbled on "the kings and queens of france" at a local used bookstore, but it was overpriced because it was a first edition, and I've been considering fleur de lys instead. Does it have a lot of images/portraits?

Thanks!

First stack is bought new. $30
Second stack was bought used for $20
Europe Central was $2, Name of the Rose was $2.50. Literal steals right there (at least where I'm from), most expensive books were Magic Mountain ($4.50)and M&D ($7).
Third stack was gifted to me.

I know i'm pretty plebeian but where I'm from it's pretty gud.

I'm really liking my current reads, DeLillo and Vollman
Also on the same Pleb note
