Ayn Rand

Socrates. Don't even bother trying to understand him just use his arguments and act high and might when people ask you why you're asking them about philosophy first thing in the morning.

Hegel hands down. You learn an entirely new vocabulary which still sounds English or German to native ears, then attempt to refute people with it, all the while they cannot actually understand what your words mean, yet they know you've stated something which contradicts them, they just don't know exactly what.

There are many ways you can go. If you want to be very annoying to scholars and trained philosophers, Hegel- and Heideggerfags are widely considered extremely insufferable. If you want to piss off normies and healthy people, you cannot go wrong by becoming erudite in Linkin Park tier /r9k/ philosophy - Schopenhauer, Cioran, Benatar, Ligotti etc.. If you want to piss off people in politics, these >>20579506, >>20579519 are excellent choices for becoming very broadly annoying, but you can likewise become very annoying by focusing on the sort of political philosophy that is only popular among twittertards - that would be something like Mark Fisher if you want to be annoying to rightoids, or Evola if you want to be annoying to leftoids.

As a normal healthy person myself, these philosophers and arguments do not even piss me off... I just feel bad for the people who are mistreated enough to have to cling to them. Usually I don't even bother arguing because I know they won't change their mind.

As this anon reccomends >>20579597, mimic Socrates (nicknamed gadfly for being a pest), so read Plato's dialogues.

Nagarjuna/Buddhism

Go against all the dominant assumptions. Argue and win everything because Buddhist chads always come out on top and leave the incels seething.

[Anonymous No.20583666]

as others have mentioned, you can’t go wrong with Plato’s socratic dialogues. but I would instead recommend Schopenhauer, specifically his pamphlet “how to win an argument”. if you master that pamphlet, you will be so annoying that you can drive men to suicide

Simplifies everything. Obviously he is a libertarian economist and is going to take sides, but blaming everything on the government (he has an essay where he literally does that) lacks nuance, that's why he's loved by midwits.
