to be fair, i would have never read & loved anything by Ligotti if it weren't for True Detective, nor would 90% of the others who have read it, and i might even be so bold as to imply that this applies to yourself as well!~

>>10876907
How would that be a terrible truth? If that were the case, then nonexistence after death would be neither good not bad

>>10876919
Because truth conflicts with feelings.

A truth too terrible for most it seems.

>>10876912
you'd be wrong on that count friend, I got into him through a book called the grimscribe's puppets but the true detective thing isn't what annoys me, ligotti not getting credited for it is what annoys me

>>10877021
oh yes i can identify with that, although to be fair, i think by this point most people "in the know" know that Ligotti is the real mastermind behind it. it's just the normies who doesn't appreciate the truth of the matter, and we care not for what the normies think and feel in any regard
big fan of Grimscribe also

>nonexistence after death
How is this a conclusion of the invalidity of religion? You're probably making as many bad assumptions as any religious person to assert such a general claim as though it's certain.

>>10879956
Then I pity you. The concept of "Normie" should be appealing only to teenagers.

My Twisted World by Elliott Rodger

>>10880177
Also if "normies" ruin something for you then you probably didn't like it all that much to begin with. Just because some people you don't like start liking something that you do, you stop associating with it. That just shows how insecure you are.

>>10876907
It's not so bad. The ideas of Christianity are really defeatist and miserable, imo

>>10880774
Your reading comprehension is horrifying

>>10880159
We cannot logically comprehend nonexistenxe, thus it cannot be referred to in terms of good or bad. It is meaningless to discuss nonexistence, so if that were a truth, then it would be appropriate to be impartial about it. To go back to your statement, any idea about conciousness after death relies on a metaphysic, which relies on some religious ideaology, even if it isn't dogmatic.

>>10880252
>divine inspiration and holy absolution
>defeatist and miserable

>>10876882
I haven't read Mein Kampf. Is the book worth a read?

>>10881164
I could probably talk for awhile about it. You'll probably get some responses to this question saying 'it's really badly written' or something along those lines. This is completely true. Hitler can't stay on one topic, in one early chapter describing his childhood, Hitler somehow manages to run off on a long tangent about his issues with parliamentary democracy. He struggles to restrain himself.
With that said, is it worth a read? I would say yes. It's a really fascinating book if only for its massive historical significance. To hear the most infamous man in history talking about his life and his opinions is morbidly interesting. I would recommend reading it in chunks at a time rather than trying to force your way through it.
Iirc, Hitler himself didn't like it, saying something like 'if I knew I was going to become chancellor, I never would have written that book.'

>>10881130
>We cannot logically comprehend nonexistenxe
It can be comprehended as being like taking an anesthetic.

>it cannot be referred to in terms of good or bad
It would be bad to not be anesthetized at the time of surgery.

>any idea about conciousness after death relies on a metaphysic, which relies on some religious ideaology
I don't think this is necessarily true. If you can correlate a string of information to a given consciousness, like a hex code to a color, then that consciousness will exist anytime that information is manifest. The likelihood of manifestation of such information is unknown, thus judgement of future manifestations should be reserved agnostically.

It's right in the title. EVERYBODY poops.

>>10878694
Human's brains are wired to look for face features. Your brain is trying to look for a face in that picture but can't find any. If you can't see a person's face, they can't be trusted, that's why it might be unsettling.

Just a guess. Idk.

>>10881137
How can you be sure of that anon?
How can you be sure of anything?

>>10881198
We wake up from an anesthetic though, and that is the only reason we can comprehend it. This is all speculation, however. Understand that I am not defending secular death, only reinforcing that if it were the case, then it wouldn't be anything. It is dying that's the painful part.

I wonder how many of the people who are Peterson fans and read Solzhenitsyn on his recommendation counter-signal the jewish question and avoid the book he wrote explaining how it was the kikes who put him in fucking gulag to begin with and killed 66 million of his fellow Russians.

>>10876973
Ugly truths

>>10882133
>66 million russians
/pol/ doesn’t believe in the holocaust but believes that Jews, specifically Jews, killed 66 million Russians

>>10876765
Any history book about WW2, particularly the parts where Germany loses the war

>>10882133
Wasn’t aware of it but will definitely pick it up. Peterson dog-whistles from time to time, and I understand why he can’t do more. Some things, like race and IQ, he lets the audience figure out from the facts he gives. But the Bolshevik Vanguard being 90% Jewish surely isn’t unknown to Peterson. At any rate, I have few to no problems with what Hitler had to say (and did, if we exclude his mismanagement of the war).

>>10880751
>uses a word that would get you castigated if you lived in a pious society

>thinks fedora means anything now that you idiots overused your totem signal >>10882873
not at all

>>10882897
the Bolshevik vangaurd wasn’t 90% Jewish and the Politburo was mostly Russian as soon as the USSR was established you’re just making shit up

>>10882884
Neither the holocaust nor holodomor are real in the way society portrays them. By that I mean that they aren't special in any way compared to thousands of other similar events throughout history no matter how much kikes, lolberts, and other vermin try to use them as some sort of mythology

>>10882884
Read Anne Applebaum’s GULAG: A History and Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine.

Slav death toll of 66 million at the hands of Communism is VERY conservative.

>>10882905
I’m gonna go ahead and not worry about the burden of proof on this one. I just don’t care enough to prove well-known shit. Anyone possibly susceptible to the truth will look it up on their own. Anyone who isn’t would not yield to any amount of evidence. Have a good one though m8y.

>>10882884
how are these two things related?

The deep one rises again

>>10882906
agreed
>>10882909
no post primary source evidence from scholarly journals or go away
>>10882915
of course not
>>10882918
its far fetched that Nazi Germany, a regime predicated on anti-semitism, total war and lebensraum, whose architects were part of ariosophy which spawned esoteric hitlerism, which teaches about holy racial war, which advertised the invasion of the east an occult cleansing of humanity, did not do the holocaust, but that the Soviets, were not only predominantly Jewish, and i guess the slavs were just sitting on their hands or under jewish mind control, killed 66 million of their own people when not even Mao was able to kill that many in multiple decades. Its just implausible that both of those things could be simultaneously true

>>10877860
Just looked it up @ Amazon, and it seems really interesting! I might give it a read.

>>10881135
>divine inspiration and holy absolution
>decent at best logic and morality from common men as far back as the bronze age

choose one

>>10882962
You're trying very hard to make two unrelated things appear related and your summation was pretty stupid.

>>10882926
faggot

>>10882884
And /leftypol/ believes 66 million Russians weren't killed.

>>10884175
nobody believes 66 million russians were killed because it's completely absurd

>>10884175
The population of Russians, (i.e. people in Russia) according to the Russian Empire Census of 1897 was roughly 67.5 million. In 1926, the Soviet census found the population of Russians to be 77.8 million. You are telling me that from 1897 to 1917, which includes a world war and a revolution, the population of Russia doubled and then the Bolsheviks managed to kill half of the population of Russia in 9 years.

Wew lad. The market ruining every form of genuine expression by taking it and turning it palatable to a mass audience is a well known phenomenon. I agree the word "normies" is teenagey but I used it only because we're on 4ching. Adorno surely wasn't a teenager.
>>10880216
"Ruining something" doesn't mean that I stop liking it, you dumb nigger.

>>10884214

>>10882133
Bro, he doesn't blame the revolution or Soviet policies on the Jews. He says that any Jews who participated share culpability, just like Russians who did.

Also, from Wikipedia
>At the end of chapter nine, Solzhenitsyn denounces "the superstitious faith in the historical potency of conspiracies" that leads someto blame the Russian revolutions on the jews and to ignore the "Russian failings that determined our sad historical decline."

Take your bullshit back to /pol/

>>10884283
the only ugly truth there is...

pickles are smaller than cucumbers

>>10881156
you'd see the tesseract shadow of the apple-shit you fucking clunk

>>10882962
And your dismissal of an absolutely authoritative (and well-cited) scholar on the history of the Soviet Union (one who’s very far from a fashy goy, at that) is ludicrous. Read the books, check the citations, and make up your own mind. History isn’t primarily written in “scholarly journals” - bullshit neo-Marxist social science is.

In the off chance anyone does want to read either, I would recommend Gulag: A History over the Red Famine, unless your interest is primarily the Holodomir / Ukrainian history.

As for the thread, not really /lt/ guy, but The Stranger went straight down to the matter.

Since when anti semitism is part of /pol7? They even promote Christianity

>>10888289
Antisemitism is a byproduct of semitism, it's nothing new. It's as old as the jew.

>>10876765
If you want truly 'terrible' in the sense of debased, low-class, vile, idiotic, inferior, horrible truths you have to go to the Illuminatus! trilogy.

>>10888306
antisemitism is just socialism for retards laddie

>>10888289
Where the FUCK have you been? You shouldn’t be anti or pro Semitic, to be COMPLETELY HONEST F.A.M

I mean this guy needs to stay on /lit/ longer than 4 hours and you will see some other retard redirected to /lit/ for another reason.

The reasons vary. They can be because of crazy thoughts about races, mention of IQ, Darwinist Principles (obsession over evolutionary biology or social Darwinism), mentioning engaging or participation in discussion pertaining to the following books: Atlas Shrugged, The Bell Curve, Man in the High Castle.

There are also redirections to /sci/, so watch out for that too. Just trying to help people find their right board :)

Has your beloved book becoming more popular changed any it ? No. However the book getting slightly out of his niche makes you uncomfortable ?

>>10890912
most of which were under Stalin, who was not Jewish
nice meme tho

>>10876882
What if you read all of them?

>>10891715
Nope. Most of them were before Stalin. Stalin purged the jews, more or less, which is why he is held up by those jews and their descendants who fled west as the bogeyman murderer he is today. It's sick that the descendants of these jewish murderers are still allowed to reside in our countries. The west needs a Stalin to purge them from our ranks now.
