What is the most black-pilled book you've ever read?

[Anonymous No.22077976]

While anarchy was permanently established in the anterior Asia, prelude with an irresistible force to the last consequences of the final bastardization, India went on its side, although with an unparalleled slowness and resistance, towards the same destiny. China alone continued her normal march, and defended herself with all the more facility against any deviation, as, having reached less height than her illustrious sisters, she also experienced less active and less destructive dangers. But China could not represent the world; it was isolated, lived for itself, limited above all to the modest care of regulating the nourishment of its masses.

Things were there when, in a secluded corner of a Mediterranean peninsula, a light began to shine. Weak at first, it gradually increased, and, extending over a horizon at first restricted, lighted up the western region of the hemisphere with an unexpected dawn. It was at the very places where, for the Greeks, the god Helios descended each evening into the couch of the nymph of the ocean, that the star of a new civilization arose. Victory, sounding with haughty fanfares, proclaimed the name of Latium, and Rome appeared.

Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow is a definite blackpill as far as I'm concerned

He was the inspiration for the Unabomber if that's what you mean by "based"

how does the left deal with baudrillard's conclusions being borderline conservative and, even traditionalist

[Anonymous No.22079277]

>>22079231
It’s interesting that Baudrillard does come away as being the only real rightist person coming out of that postmodern scene in France. I don’t think “the left” cares and the only ones capable of actually appreciated Baudrillard are those on the right. Rewatched Videodrome the other night, and it reminded me of the whole thing. The medium as the message, the boomers, advertising as identity, etc. The left can’t deal with these these things from a baseline level. McCluhan was a traditionalist catholic as well, and one of Baudrillard’s main influences.

Most black pilling books;
crash by J.G Ballard
Anything by Thomas Goodrich

Every book posted so far is trash. In some cases literal trash, being that I threw Simulacra and Simulation into my trash can after the first couple chapters

The best left-wing thinkers (Lukacs, Benjamin, Adorno, Baudrillard, Zizek) are basically conservatives with a left veneer

houellebecq "atomized"

[Anonymous No.22080456]

>>22079418
I have noticed this too. The only “leftist” academics that are not retarded propagandists are basically not leftists at all.

[Anonymous No.22080736]

>>22079981
you don't understand houellebecq if you think he's a pessimist. cynical and pessimistic, but he's not a Pessimist (notice that capital p - only mentioning it because I can tell you're a midwit).

Gilder on Lasch:

[Anonymous No.22081495]

This is an interesting read but the author sounds insufferable after you realise each chapter is a blackpilled old man whining with no real solutions.
