Cross argues that the only true, time-tested institution in America is that of consumerism. We are a country without any 'high culture.' Instead, nearly everything we consume is mass-produced 'low culture' that Americans define themselves by. Increasingly throughout the 20th century, Americans became disillusioned or skeptical of traditional institutions-- church, school, work, neighborhoods, etc.-- in favor of "communities of consumption" that bind people together through conspicuous consumption. These ways of defining self came to dominate the American mind, and today nearly all 'meaning' in the US is derived from a pursuit of consumer goods. Cross sees this as overwhelmingly negative; a supervision of any spiritual and aesthetic progress in favor of mass consumption.

Quote to summarize:
>Consumerism, not political democracy, won the century. Regimes based on mobilizing people around ideas of social solidarity seem to end up demonic, or at least bureaucratic and corrupt. And even the relatively open and undemanding goals of liberal democracy for public life have failed to compete with consumerism.

Cross's analysis is limited to the twentieth century, but this theme has been present in America since its inception. T.H. Breen wrote a fantastic book -The Marketplace of Revolution- which shows how this hyper-obsession with consumer goods has always dominate American politics and socio-political movements.

"Ancient Near Eastern Texts" is such a ubiquitous source of reference that citations commonly simply abbreviate it ANET without need for further explanation.

If anyone has really good histories of (parts of) the pre-Hellenistic Middle East, they would be welcome. Van De Mieroop "A History of the Ancient Near East" is too broad, too brief, and too-much written for lower-division undergraduates. I have read & enjoyed Drews' "The End of the Bronze Age" and Cline's "1177 B.C.", but both are very specifically about the BAC.

king leopold's ghost, very strong so far
It's very impressive how well Leopold I played everyone around him. He basically just used his current days version of liberal-speak to get people to give him money to do things that are opposite of what they actually are meant to represent.
I don't know how to describe it better but it really gives you sense that nothing in last 150 years changed at all and a smart guy with right influence gets into these elite circles he can just put soap in everyone eyes so easily using the structure the virtue signaling structure they have build up. Only guy that realized he's a bullshiter was Bismark, he straight up just annoted letters from him as "scam" because he read this language of virtue signaling and instantly could tell this guy just doesn't want to honestly say what he wants to do there.
Like he says he needs money to build outposts to protect people of Congo from slavers but he just builds his outpost to enslave them himself but he justifies his slavery as protection from other peoples slavery. He wants to ensure free trade so he builds his own offices and imposes his own taxes to fund it thus controlling all trade in region. It reminds me of how modern corporations use all this language about female empowerment just to keep women in shitty underpaid jobs, drive their wages lower, get more work out of them etc. you just use these terms that sound appealing but you're doing opposite of that.

Yeah, Vollmann discusses how violence begins, how it happens, and its aftershocks — political consequences, moral consequences, psychological consequences, artistic consequences, etc. absolutely worth the time. think you’ll like it. Vollmann is also a beautiful stylist. on a sentence by sentence level, his prose crackles with energy and intensity that few other contemporary writers can match. occasionally it’s too much and he becomes pompous but most of the time it’s great. picrel’s also worth checking out if you like RURD

It's basically the anti-Sapiens (that pop history book by Yuval Harari). It's not just that, but a complete debunking on all those stupid pop history authors who try to reduce human history into a clear linear simplistic narrative, such as Jared Diamond and Francis Fukuyama.

The two authors are an anthropologist and an archeologist who use a lot of different discoveries in their fields made in the last 30 years to prove their point, and the bibliography is really fucking dense, almost 200 pages of notes and citations.

Basically the point of the book is that any attempt of creating a "grand narrative" using a "logic" social evolution for humanity is failed. Human history is filled with different ramifications and possibilities of social arrangements, since hunter-gatherers of the paleolithic (who, as the book points out, didn't expend 200,000 years doing nothing like most authors say).

Other main argument is that the rise of the State and its burocraric apparatus is more uncommon throughout history than we use to imagine. Usually ancient cultures and civilizations had different ways of organizing their politics, and that we, modern men under a nation-state, end up putting them inside a political category due to our own bias. In the end, the "social contract" is a retarded concept and the appearance of the State is not a logical conclusion of any complex society, but just happened by mere luck and was spread by violence.

If you are open-minded enough, it's an amazing book.

Are there any good books that cover Germany during the Weimar Republic? Those years between the fall of the empire in 1918 and the rise of the Reich are incredibly turbulent and I'm surprised at all that transpired in those years and the fact that it is rarely mentioned especially in history books where the interwar for germany sums up to
>Germany lost and had to pay the allies
>There is no money to pay
>Suddenly Hitler is in charge

Any books in a similar time period but for Poland/Eastern Europe would also be appreciated.
The entire Interwar period is vastly unappreciated in general. It's almost like nothing happened until the Great Depression

Rereading Peter Green's Alexander of Macedon for the millionth time. I have grown a deeper respect for it. The first time I'd read it, I was an unironic dickrider, and Green's clipped and analytical tone struck me as offensive. Especially in his relentless attempt to paint the conqueror in this clinical and detached light (everything he did was calculated, premeditated to serve a larger purpose). It seemed to me as detrimental as the works who whittled down the king general to just a 'schizo, megalomaniacal, trust fund babbie'. Either take was reductive.

Welcome to modern Alexander scholarship. It is so odd in history that modern scholarship recognizes the inherent problems with overly-positive appraisals of Alexander.... but then decide to respond with overly-negative criticisms with arguably 0 nuance.

He was a brilliant commander, and yes - he murdered a whole bunch of people while doing it. However, comparing him to Hitler and saying he was on some genocidal conquest to gratify his ego is just stupid (see: A.B. Bosworth - a jew writing on Alexander post-Holocaust).

These problems of contemporary Alexander scholarship are addressed in Pierre Briant's shorter book (the one published by Princeton University press). It's a good read if you're fed up with "academics" shitting up history with modern moral sensibilities instead of recognizing the inherent need to understand individuals in their times, and as they saw the world. He really puts them on blast. It was kind of refreshing to read.

“The First Scientific History of the War of 1812” is a bestseller monograph about the French invasion of Russia in 1812 by Russian historian with clinical narcissism disorder and deep love for Napoleon, know as shitty opera singer who collect full stage, very charismatic homosexual, videoblogger, man of culture and well know troll - Yevgeni Ponasenkov

This book written in the spirit of historical revisionism, against state propaganda (that used this war as tool, and was used all by Tsar, by Soviets and by current regime) about this war that portrayed this war as something patriotic, sign of defending of fatherland. Ponasenkov completely destroy this image and shows real colors of Russian state during this time - underdeveloped and complete corrupted aristocrats that hated own people, own Tsar and were in love of image of Napoleon and all French, serfs are literally slaves that used as cannon folder, shameful retreat of Russian army, Moscow was burned and pillaged by Russians people before Napoleon even came. This war started as result of action of denain the treaty and organizing army by Tsar Alexander I, who was a pathetic impotent with complexes who promoted his homosexual lovers. All this supported by handrest of documents, letter, etc. This is like 4/5 of the 1100 pages long book. Rest is pouring shit on Russian patriots, promoting classical European culture, and ranting how cool he is (there is literally full page pictures of him posing with statues, getting flowers on his stage (he sings)).

What is also interesting about this book, not only it was received by state paid historians as "Nothing that we didn't knew (but never told in your propaganda school textbooks, movies and events), we can't say anything about it", but one of Ponasenkov's few critics and rival - historian Sokolov, who also get well know as writer about Napoleon, teacher in one the main universities in Russia, who also got famous after connections with government supported blogger got caught trying to drown body parts of his young student lover.
Ponasenkov came to Sokolov's trials, mocked him and advertised own book (as he always did on all show, talk show and interview). It got like 2,362,597 views on youtube.

You might think that is all hype and controversy, but this is really high quality historical book with depth look into political, economical reasons, difference in cultures, how war was viewed from all sides, with statistics and supported by official documents and reference to well accepted among academia books. Also, Ponasenkov goes into depth of problem of state propaganda during after war, during Stalin rule (especially here where Ponasenkov describe biograpy of Yevgeny Tarle - who did risen during Staling purges because he was assliking to Stalin, was writing notes against his coleages and was considerable useful to state), and abuse of myth about war during modern days.

It's super biased and despite all document written in informal style, but how can you not be baised if you compering literally a lice-ridden Russian Orthodox serf (and at that time Russian serfs turned into slaves, because they could be sold and had no rights at all, not even religious ones) with frenchmens after great revolution. Compering most progressive country of the age that did bring law, ethics and aesthetics everywherethey went with poor countryside country where most people are illiterate, own culture is despised and Tsar is got his place by joining or accepting murder of his father for British money.

I've never heard anyone talk about this on /lit/ or /his/, but I recommend "European Diplomatic History 1871-1931" by Raymond James Sontag (1933). Essentially it is a high-level survey of politics and grand strategy in Europe from the Franco-Prussian war to (roughly) the author' time of writing. The narration is non-stop breathless exposition of statesmen and diplomats and schemes within schemes, and - even though the author would probably disclaim any literary pretension - the dizzying pace at which alliances shift is portrayed in a fine, sharply-drawn manner illustrated with character sketches of leading figures and political organisations. Gives a very pronounced sense of just how chaotic European politics was in the leadup to WW1. An exemplar of the often unfairly-maligned state of historical writing prior to the turn to social history after WW2. It is also in the public domain, so don't take my word for it.

It might be subversive (it's subversive on purpose), but it deals with le noble savage, Rousseauian state of nature just as much as it deals with Hobbesian state of nature. What I liked about it is that it was optimistic. People are still in control of their fates, and these narratives of constant, linear progress from antiquity are ironically holding us back. It's not just being a fucking savage or modern society. There's an entire spectrum and everyone trying to reduce it is an ideologue with their own agenda.
Conservabros won't like the fact that North American indians had a hand in the Enlightenment and their Early Life section.

I remember when this guy tried to ascertain that someone (might be the Abraham Lincoln assassin) was Jewish because he was seen near a synagogue one time. Same with Gavrilo Princip. Or that Tzarist Russia was a prosperous state before the commies took over. Shit like this sullied the whole book for me, even if I'm inclined to agree with him.

Refuted by this one fact alone: Israel is this tiny little country surrounded by billions of Arabs which could accomodate the Palestinians at any time, and yet refuse to do so. They can only have 99% of the middle east and because they can't have Israel too they want to destroy her.

Besides why should Palestinians leave their homes and resettle in other countries, and why should other countries accept Palestinians, just because some people were affected by the holocaust? Pissraelis are such cucks and will paint you as a bad person for not leaving your own home. Pathetic.

Then it would make more sense to destroy israel or place israel in germany.

Besides anyone who is forced to leave their homes will become violent, unless you think everyone else is a cuck like you.
"What is Palestine? It is a country which belongs to the Turkish empire and is settled by Arabs. .....Mr. Lilienblum says that "we have a historical right to Palestine."'... A historical right! . .. And by what means will you defend that historical right? ... The Arabs have exactly the same historical right. Woe unto you if-under the protection of international bandits and by the manipulation of international intrigue and corrupt diplomacy --you force the peaceful Arabs to defend their rights. They will answer tears with blood and will bury your hereditary claims under the ashes of
your homes."
