Why should I read books? Is there a tangible benefit to reading?

There are 80 iq people with magical thinking, sort of like those cargo cult primitives building airplanes out of sticks and leaves.
These think that reading books will make you smart, because the tv said so, the popular stereotype is that you will become smart if you wear glasses and read random pseud fodder.

There are also political leftism readers. Many such cases these days. Instead of recognizing they are poor because they are so devoid of marketable skills you can only give them minwage jobs to mop floors, they prefer to read 7 trillion page cope about capitalism fucking them over and them deserving all the yachts in society and how them remaining unskilled and uneducated and unemployable in 1st world countries in their 30s and later is everyone else's fault but theirs. These retards who take out loans to buy lattes are the oppressed Congo child miners/soldiers all along.

Finally you have people who read for fun. Just like doing math is fun for some people, or watching porn and sportsball and those 4 hour long toy commercials, they call it capeshit and I hear its very popular these days, and it was designed to sell plastic toys to rural illiterate Vietnamese and Chinese as well as mentally ill first worlders. Or watching women in the special forces, or watching nword astronauts and similar people who cant do highschool math planning orbital mechanics and rocket engines, or whatever else is popular these days.

This haircut is so fucking stupid, obviously trying to make white men indistinguishable from niggers by JUSTing their hair, making it look like a pube hair rats nest.

No.. that haircut is called mutt something. Whites have blond hair and dont have to do much to distinguish themselves from the poopskins. I mean if you need your hair to distinguish you from the nwords, you are ngmi racially.

Maybe raceless gypsy countries such as brasil, unidos estados etc think you can change your race through hairstyle but that is just absurd anyone monoracial and monocultural.

Do you engage in leftism or fiction? Otherwise probably yes.
Also note that most of those leftist readers are also retarded, the only ones that aren't are just reading to understand how to exploit the masses by manipulating them.

>> No.20739602

>>20739575
I'm not saying it makes them niggers, it makes them look like niggers with gross-looking curly pube hair, the effect is moving society into further muttification.

Even if you have blonde hair, getting this fucking gay (trendy) haircut where they literally curl it negrifies/muttifies you. Get it cut pretty short and brush it over so you can mog nonwhites, wear a polo shirt and casual but nice jeans or shorts. Maybe smoke a cigarette too, not caring about anything. Automatically attract women.

No it isn't. And that is beside the point.

I've never seen an ad for cigarettes in my life, the marketing is against them, telling everyone how bad they are. Cigs are correlated with higher T levels, that is just a fact. Getting upset at people smoking is ultimate karen mode.

>> No.20739827

Honestly, no idea. I never asked myself that question, I just read for pleasure of reading, when I finish a book I don't expect some kind of 'tangible' benefit to manifest from thin air to justify time I spent reading. It was never work so why should I get paid?

Yes there is a effect from reading. Its a cumulative effect that works better if one reads regularly from childhood through life. But can still happen for adults and its always worth it to read. From using your imagination to learning new words to learning new concepts and ideas.

Efter att flera gånger blivit kallad olika nedsättande saker av Sebastien Boudet rann bägaren slutligen över.

Sebastien må vara en gudabenådad bagare, men hans regelbundet återkommande idiotförklaringar av de som inte stöder alla hans åsikter är minst sagt beklämmande.

Att jag flera gånger ifrågasatt hans ovetenskapliga påståenden om mindre producenters förträfflighet och att större producenter är djävulen själva har jag löpande hamnat i hans skottglugg.

Jag, Johan Jureskog, Leif Mannerström med flera är de som fått utstå hans spott och spe.

Jag hade gärna tagit upp hans konstanta hat mot Pågen men då hade jag ju framstått som ännu mer "köpt" i hans ögon eftersom jag nyligen besökte deras fabrik. För att inte tala om jag hade sagt att jag gillar Lingongrova... :)

Sebastiens senaste kommentar om mig finns här (om han inte raderar den):

Min Instagram:

När jag kritiserade Saltå Kvarn för att vara ekonomisk stöttepelare för antivaccin-rörelsen i Järna så fick jag det här i ansiktet:

Min kritik mot Saltå Kvarn och Sebastiens försvar av dem. Jämförelsen mellan vaccinationsmotstånd och McDonalds haltar ju en aning :)

Påhoppen i samband med hans inlägg är svårt att länka till då han blockat mig på FB.

Det KAN vara så att jag i videon uttalar hans namn fel. Det är inte ett försök till simpel härskarteknik.
