The sticky link doesnt have a recommended books category for modern political theory. Im looking for more books on modern political theory like Robert Nozick or Hannah Arendt. Recommendations are nice but subjective is there a way to find an online curriculum for modern political theory? These days all my social media is plastered with politics and Im tired of feeling like an idiot for not really knowing what to think.

I assume A Theory of Justice by J. Rawls go into this as well.

Watch this guy's videos. He created omniliberalism the most rational ideology.

"A political ideology created and developed by Oxygen Not Included player, Steven Kenneth Bonnell II. It seeks to ground moral axioms by employing hyper-rationality in order to maximize happiness for all and in turn for the self.

This ideology rejects morals and is often described as moral anti-realist.It also rejects Kant and all other forms of deontology. Omniliberals are pure consequentialists. Depending on the question at hand, they can be either rule utilitarians or ethical egoists.

Omniliberalism is also concerned with human sexuality and relationships. The omniliberal must be open minded in their own and other's sexuality and relationship choices. However, despite being open to all types of relationships, omniliberalism assigns priority to polyamory. It is also not concerned about age differences between participants.

The goal of the omniliberal ideology according to Bonnell, is to be a superior form of neoliberalism that rejects the nonsense of the right, while embracing the positive aspects of the left to create a capitalist utopia with greater social safety nets that is free from the tyranny and stupidity of both fascists and tankies.
As an omniliberal, I have to ask because I'm super curious; why the fuck do you give a shit about some dumb cat being thrown when you're not a vegan?"

How can ideology that would create society without order can be considered "the most rational"?

I've seen plenty of our times most popular political speakers or commentators like Destiny or Jordan P or Zizek etc. Im looking to form a solid ground so I can start forming my own opinions. Im trying to not have all my political conversations just be me regurgitating what these popular speakers have said I feel all my political views have been decided for me by speakers who are smarter than I am. I want to start at the same base they had and form something original to say at thanksgiving dinner. I need to understand how we got here politically in the past 100 years to begin to do that. For my own sanity.

I think your next logical steps are Foucault and Byung-Chul Han, who in particular is thoroughly illuminating and can somehow fit deep critiques of Arendt and Foucault into like, sub-100 page long pamphlets.
