>The history of the world, whose shaping properly belongs altogether to the Caucasian race, seems till now to have run through two Caucasian ages, in the first of which we had to work out and work off our innate negroidity; this was followed in the second by Mongoloidity (Chineseness), which must likewise be terribly made an end of. Negroidity represents antiquity, the time of dependence on things (on cocks’ eating, birds’ flight, on sneezing, on thunder and lightning, on the rustling of sacred trees, etc.); Mongoloidity the time of dependence on thoughts, the Christian time. Reserved for the future are the words, “I am the owner of the world of things, I am the owner of the world of mind.”

Bugs don't get up-cummies for reading classic lit though. Bugman his a defininion broader than "things I don't like"

The bugman is disconnected from the past entirely, they've never heard of Dostoyevsky - they read John Green.

"small-souled bugman" implies that the person has been cut off from their cultural roots, and totally subsumed into consumerist neoliberal hive. they are totally lack any sort of sympathy for their ancestors folkways, higher spirituality, or passion. if they do engage in activities that are somewhat human, they still are heavily tinged by global capitalism. if they are a sportsfan, they will participate heavily in fantasy sports(which is obsessed with statistics, 'scientific' analysis of performance). if they exercise, it will be all cardio, and tracked by fitbit and then uploaded to faceberg. tastes in food, art, music, movies are predetermined by review aggregator sites like yelp, metacritic or rotten tomatoes. political views only appeal to them if they seem 'rational,' and derived from the sort of conventional wisdom, economics influenced worldview seen in works like 'moneyball', nate silver's 538 blog, and 'freakonomics.'

jesus i'm trying to type and that thumbnail is just

bug-women are the ones reading all thse diversity books i guess. "here's a shitty boring novel as deep as a puddle, but it's about a POC!!! if you don't read it you're a fascist." browse contemporary sometime. you'll be livid enough to die 5 years earlier.

neither bugmen nor basedboys read classics like stoics or plato. next your going to tell me they hate democracy just like plato or they have control of their emotions and passions. come to think of it your post kind of reeks of onions. they do read nietzsche cos muh god is dead and yes they own a copy of marx and if they some how got through the ONE THOUSAND pages of das kapital (does anyone ever talk about how that book is 1000 fucking pages?) they speed read it ONCE (doesnt count as absorbing or understanding a book).

Biographies of "lmao got rich" people, self help books, cheap fiction, CS textbooks and maybe audiobooks. The majority of the are socialist or democrats(in the sense that they belive in the socio-economy called democracy, not the party) so they don't read finance, the only philosophy and economy they read are fad books like 12 Rules or they where indoctrinated by marxism before they claimed(late af tbqh senpai) thier agency back from video games.
