you started the thread with a picture of a fictitious president. what do you want it to be about now, ruthless pragmatism in crocheting? if you just care about the mindless fetishization of a style or attitude you should have used an anime picture and the grown-ups would have stayed away.

anime-tier power fantasy show. midwits trying to write geniuses are always embarrassing. there's some comedy value in the absurd product placement where the pederast lead will just start convincing you to buy the new playstation whatever in the middle of an episode.

Why not make it easier for all of us and directly ask for books on your ideology of choice?

You can't even define what you want out of "ruthless" pragmatism.

If you're looking for wankery that fits your worldview just keep doing what you do.
