Real talk, is this a sarcastic off hand ironic post, or did the book actually make you go down the rabbit hole of /pol/? I can’t tell anymore. A decade ago culture of critique was an hilarious dog whistle. But it’s just too real nowadays.

Do I have to read Aristotle or Aquinas before starting this?
Is Feser a better alternative? I want to read the entirety of Plato before reading Aristotle, but I want to read MacIntyre in-between

Not that guy but I've read Culture of Critique and it didn't change my life as much as it helped me understand what I was already seeing. People always dismiss any connection between "coincidental" events, and joke about grand conspiracies etc but it's just the way they are.

I'm just shitposting, what made me an antisemite was the ultra zionist propaganda that was being distributed by our synagogue, and realizing that israelis are hypocrite monsters.

Not really, as long as you're somewhat familiar and know who he's talking about it's fine. Feser is good too and I would suggest Plato before Aristotle, but these are not stories you have to read from start to finish. You can go between them, skip and re-read as you please.

The Bible, and nothing else.

Unironically, (writing) this changed my worldview more than any other book.

[Anonymous No.17471449]

These. I was absolutely blown away. I was blown away by Adorno as well. I honestly don’t think there is a single intellectual movement that is more dishonestly vilified than the cultural marxists/the frankfurt school/whatever dumb name the right has come up with.

They just wanted the downtrodden to be free. But they underestimated how evil and psychotic the right actually is. This is sadly a classic mistake by the left, assuming that the opposing side has human qualities, when they’re truly nothing but vicious monsters

Let me guess, you also like kikes and niggers, huh?

[Anonymous No.17471461]

I don't hate them, Gramsci and Adorno and others, but they were profoundly disturbed and psychotic individuals. Their life and work really helps you understand Soviet and Marxist disaster.

Checked, and also the one correct answer to this type of question.

This, but the other way around for many other movements. How fucking dumb are you? We really only get the biggest mouthbreathers from other websites here it seems.
