It's worth reading, but the parts on WW2 and Hitler's motivations are so completely misguided and ignorant that it puts the rest of the book into question. The man who wrote this clearly never read Mein Kampf or any other books related to Hitler's reasons for going into war, so one has to question whether he's truly educated on any of the subjects he writes about. If he's so laughably wrong about Hitler, what's to say he's not equally wrong about Cromwell for example?
The book simply has no credibility in the eyes of a neutral, skeptic reader and that's very much unfortunate.

Zizek criticizes the "woke" SJW types a lot, but all of his political views are basically the same as theirs anyway. His reasoning is different but he still has all the same opinions.

These New Atheists are so repulsively gay and dumb.
They have no actual philosophical arguments at all. Their debate tactics are nothing but emotionalism and political grandstanding. Sam Harris's entire argument is literally just this.
>women are abused in Afghanistan by religious Muslims so how can you say there is a God?
What a retard.

Has there ever been a book that supports (directly or indirectly) white-supremacy from a non-white author? Or a book that talks about how to cope with being part of an inferior race/accepting inferiority? Or is it just whites sucking their own dicks all the time?
There are books that support antinatalism, suicide, so a book about accepting racial superiority doesn't sound too out there.

okay /lit/ redpill me on fantasy.
Is Tolkien the peak of fantasy? If not who'd you consider top 3 with their best work?
Does good fantasy always has to come with forced worldbuilding?
Is Wheel of Time overrated?

There's nothing to understand. Poetry is a meme.
All it is is lyrics to an unsung song - and that's if it actually has a rhythm and rhymes. a lot of poets are so low effort they don't even do that, they just write a rambling sentence and call it a "poem".

Any boxer or similar martial artists would kill that guy or any gymbro. This is a thinly veiled self improvement thread. Bodybuilding is retarded and boring. It makes more sense to learn how to fight rather how to do the same lifts. No high level fighter looks like they're roided. In general some of them are dyel. Actually almost any athletic discipline doesn't require you to build muscle mass for the sake of it. Mountain climbers maintain lean figure because more weight is difficult to lift up faces of cliffs. Any game with team play involved doesn't really have anyone that looks like a gymbro. Maybe rugby, but they're typically too fat to look like they're trying to sculpt their body. My point in the end is that physical activity is recommended, but picking up a specific athletic is more rewarding than doing lifts. Serious philosophy or study of anything often requires massive time investment, there's a good reason why any important philosopher couldn't give a fuck about being a gymbro while they're advancing whole of civilization lol.

How does one feel different? Not just to think differently, but to surpass that.

>the only /lit/ use of magic is to employ your imagination freely and make up whatever. putting limits on it for the sake of "consistency" is stupid
Explain yourselves /lit/. I genuinely don't understand what the fuck you're saying.

She's just deluded and beyond the point of return. She skimmed though wiki's of foucault and striner which makes her smarter than 95% of lit.
Like a teen atheist, she also points out how she's """ex Christian""". I wonder if she has ever read Bible in her lifetime. She probably read niet-chan for lulz, I bet she lacks iq to grasp niet-chan.

Deluded women are cute isn't it ? She's Terry Davis of /lit/ board.

>tfw you thought this was Houellebecq but it’s not Houellebecq

I write way too seldomly and I never finish anything. Also I can hardly ever bother to edit anything, cause I don't really know what I'm going for... also whenever I take a break, which is often, I usually end up forgetting how much I love writing so it's almost impossible for me to get started again. Then when I do get started, I suddenly feel full of shame...

Like I just had a month gap where I hardly wrote anything. How the fuck is that acceptable? It reminds me of this sam hyde vid I saw where he said that if your so called vocation or passion is something that you do a couple of hours a week when you feel like it, it's not really your passion. That's how it feels like with me. I feel I don't have enough drive or creative energy to keep it up, even though I really do enjoy it when I'm doing it. It's just kind of a lame, half and half, lopsided issue all around.

Plus, again, all that shit about not finishing/not editing. How the fuck can you say you're a writer, or even an aspiring writer, if you can't even fucking edit or finish anything. That's so retarded. Editing is such a basic step and I'm almost eternally too childish to get around to it. I don't even know what I'm going for, as I've said, so I can never bring myself to do it.

Plus I have so many inexorably gay hangups about the precious specialness of art... long paeans to my muse, gloomy ruminations on what art really means, what IS literature, treating it all as something very significant and worthwhile. This retarded behavior (fed by the rare times I write something that feels good) invariably leads to stage fright and anxiety the next time I try... so I'll write a bunch of mediocre stuff, then a really good part (or a part that feels good, at least)—then I'll stop there, cause I'm too afraid that the next section will be shitty. Or I'll simply get bored of a story, as has happened countless times before.

Oh, and another thing: my stories are all way too short. Even the longest things I've ever written are like 12-15 pages, max. I don't get these short story competitions where they ask you to make sure it's at least 3000 words. Like bitch that's a lot of words! I just don't think there's ever that much to say about stuff, about even the longest story. Which leads me to believe that what I think I'm doing (writing) is actually not writing at all, but is really only a frivolous facsimile that merely feels and seems like writing, has merely the appearance of writing... but is nevertheless not true writing because it lacks all of the depth and substance (reflected in its extreme brevity).

Also I feel like I am doomed to be a dipshit American for life, and that there is something pathetic and sad about how I like to write when I don't even enjoy reading that much.

Anyway despite all the bitching, I still get a deeper satisfaction out of it than I get from anything else I've ever known. It's just fun, and it feels like it's enough to fill a life, even if no one likes the result..
