Just go through the major lit names and read a single book of each as if you were checking items off a list. Then do the same for the major names in philosophy but instead of reading the actual works just listen to a podcast episode on each until you have a shallow understanding, try BBC or partially examined life.

Stop reading anything but comic books. Refuse to pirate anything, buy bound limited editions of any comics you want to read. Don't read manga, bugmen look down on manga because weebs don't "fit in".

Watch television about upper middle to upper class people. Ideally, many of the characters should be old and rich and remind you of your parents. Helen Mirren types.

Also watch every article of capeshit, starwars, etc as they come out, then go on the internet and review them in a thinly veiled attempt to own the Drumpfers, by which I mean, mock and demean the concerns of poor rural and suburban people.

If you must be a pseud bugman, rather than just a bugman, look for a list of "accessible classics" in every medium. Consume those and only those, and then bring them up any time anyone talks about other works in that medium. Kurosawa, Vonnegut, Tarantino. Those types.

Stop listening to music except when it happens to come on. If you must listen to it, either create a playlist of videogame music (nothing older than skyrim) or listen to the actual radio, like a boomer. If you're a little gay, a little bit into showtunes, just around the edges. If you're a little macho, get a little bit into country or dadrock.

Consume just a tiny bit of "marginalized" culture. Black American culture is most common, or Latino. Not Asian, don't want people thinking your a weeb. Ta Nehisi Coates or whatever his name is a good place to start. Something contemporary.

Whatever you do, remember one crucial thing:

You must conform, above all else. Suppress any dissenting thoughts or opinions. If you disagree with someone or something, don't object to it-- try to find a way to get the other members of your ingroup to do it for you. If they won't, then stew in silence and impotent rage.

So are Vonnegut and Tarantino. But they're entry-level, therefore bugmen love them. Bugmen can't sit through a Yasujiro Ozu or Jim Jarmusch movie, so they watch Vonnegut and Tarantino and never make that next step.

Bugmen hate Lovecraft because "muh racism". In fact, I think few people have actually read Lovecraft because his prose is pretty dry for a horror writer. They also hate any fantasy/sci-fi that isn't wokeshit (Heinlein, Robert E. Howard and Tolkien, for example).

This is exactly right. Non-bugmen don't give a shit about being recognized or thought of as special by other people, so bugmen not having a box to put them in doesn't matter to them.

Saying "you're upset and they're not, so they must be cooler" is peak bugman, as is "it doesn't really mean anything, it's just a mean word for things you dislike". Bugmen want to maintain composure and deny the possibility of conflict because they're terrified of other people, and want above all else to avoid disagreement. That's why they judge people for caring about real issues or trying to have sincere experiences. It's the exact same impulse that compels a bitchy, insecure teenage girl to type "You ok, sis?" whenever somebody calls her on her bullshit. They want to shut down conversations to defend themselves from judgement.

It's literally slave morality. That's what slave morality is, it's the exact same phenomenon.

That whole starter pack is an "I know you are, but what am I?" from anons whose jimmies were rustled when they got called conformists.

The majority of the items in that pack are fairly neutral publications and outlets. Center left, maybe. I don't see how anybody could consoom Kanopy or Janus films, they're literally just collections of classics. Maybe you could consoom NPR, though Radiolab would be a better bet.

But the way the pack is used is always dishonest. Bugmanning isn't about consuming certain products, it's about a mindset and a pattern of behavior. So saying "you like certain brands too, you're just as bad" is arguing around the point.

He can't. Peterson's shtick is basically being a liberal from 30 years ago.

"the nazis were bad, but the communists were also bad!" is the most "right-wing" opinion he has. Other than that, he's perfectly fine with trannies as long as they don't use the state to force him to use their pronouns as is against racism in any way. Peterson is a centrist liberal like the rest of them.

Why has the West abandoned the the theology and morality of Aquinas, but clung so mindlessly to the pedantic urge to classify and categorize literally everything?

Look at the ant. Industrious, but mindless. The ant rolls the same grains of sand back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. But God is kind, for God gave the ants purpose, even if they are blind to it.

To follow after the ant, however, to devote your mind to such tireless activity, to endlessly seek distinction without purpose--that is to make man like a bug.
