>combing invincible meme with Plato/Diogenes meme
I don't like to call simple fun reddit, but in this instance, it's overpowering.

Those are topics not themes and anyone who posts memes about Diogenes should be tortured while the torturer sarcastically quips about how lame torturing is and that they’re only doing it ironically.

This whole "Think X Think" meme I swear isn't real and just a guerilla marketing campaign. I have never heard of this show or seen anyone make memes about it, and then all of a sudden I saw 4 of them on here, and it's in my Youtube recommended even though I watch mostly Fallout related stuff and no memes. Then just as fast as they came in, they all simultaneously vanished.

Thanks for reading my schizopost

Diogenes is the most reddit philosopher by far
Then it's Russell, then Camus

[Anonymous No.18532088]

>>18532080
Calling Camus a philosopher is like those delusional feminists that call Mary Shelley a philosopher. Having theme in your books doesn’t make you a philosopher. You’re right about Russell and Diogenes though, the third most Reddit philosopher is the way Nietzsche is represented by people who have not read any Nietzsche

That's because the show came out.

Fallout is a meme.
>they all simultaneously vanished.
Because the joke stops being funny after a week.
I mean, do you think that /v/'s TLOU2 redrawing contest (which I even participated in, see picrelated) was a marketing campaign?

For me, it's Animal Farm

>Politics
The animals have wars.
>History
It tells the history of the farm.
>Geopolitics
There are multiple areas of the farm, including barn, house, and field.

Did you read all of this? Which one is your favourite and why?

[Anonymous No.18534025]

You might enjoy some of V.S. Naipaul's work. Most of it is historical fiction with heavy incorporation of autobiographical narrative. Pic related is my favorite that I have read from him. A Way in the World is also very good, managing to interweave parallel narratives taking place in multiple centuries, including a very interesting take on Raleigh's voyage to South America. In general, his works tend to focus on colonial and post-colonial history.

You might also enjoy reading some classic works of history. Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon, the works of Thucydides, Livy, Josephus, Tacitus, etc.

Thank you for your suggestion but fiction isn't really my cup of tea.
I'll look through the rest

Yes.

>Which one is your favourite and why?
"Nemesis" by Bond. is super original and novel. Honestly, I didn't expect that historical pattern fit so well into Jouvenelian model of "Periphery-Middle-Centre", where "Centre" unites with "Periphery" to usurp more power for itself. (aristocracy and citizens vs. eupatrids; tyrants and non-citizens vs. aristocracy; etc.)

Also, "The Human Condition" by Arendt is pretty amazing. Especially, her differentiating between "animal laborans" vs. "homo faber". I.e., modern day workers are slaves to machines, and would attempt consume the whole world, given the chance.

And Alain de Benoist's "Beyond Human Rights" has some decent argumentation, helpful for bitch-slapping anyone who tries to tell you about "human rights".
