good post

Maupassant's Bel Ami kinda does this: a veteran who meme'd his way in and out of the army in the 1800s, who has no political identity, caters to different people with different political ideas when it suits him so as to move up the social hierarchy. The man is devoid of any "principles" or ideals (no sp00ks) apart from gaining power.
Maybe some of Ionesco's plays, too.

its impossible to not care about politics, as you will soon find 'politics' taking an interest on you. Centrism is no longer the safe way, but implies a comittment to the defense of a status quo everyone knows is doomed and thuse doom itself. Unless you are planning on going full anprim and vanishing inawoods, that is.

>>9884817
i dont care at all. how is this possible? politics has literally no bearing on my life. no more than how some sports team is doing, or where some celbrity is vacationing.

Anyone have any idea how long polling anon has been at this for? I'm wondering how far back these top 100s go and if anyone has all of the older charts.

>>9884420
>/lit/ votes for books it has never even attempted to read
Always gives me a good chuckle.

There are 2015 and 2014 ones, not the same polling anon. They're much the same, with some books positioned higher or lower according to flavors of the month and rigging. 2017 will be the same too.
There's also a 2015 one for authors (pic related)

>>9884020
Fug. Really makes them think.

Obviously there's the Moldbug/Land transhumanist technocalypse aesthetic. Basically cyber-punk projected 400 years forward. Everyone else is very vague other than 'no more darkies'. Probably not averse to the world looking like Bioshock's Columbia. There you get the recreation of an imagined halcyon past with all the regimentation and lack of civil liberties outside narrowly constrained parameters any mindless dickhead could ever hope.

There are elements within "transhumanism" that might be seen to support "fascism", especially when the terms are used on a board that doesn't have a dialectical approach to setting terms.

Personally, from steeping myself in the memes of so called "fascism" I don't think what was "fascism" is able to exist anywhere without taking on new distinctions, that cut ties with the labels. This essentially requires new aesthetics, and a new paradigm.

Defining this "futurism" is going to undergo the same process, which will make it highly susceptible to influence. I don't know much of the history of futurism, but transhumanism is less speculative, or at least highly rational in the predictions - which to me, makes it akin to modernism.

I don't know if that helps. Anyone know of books on futurism and its influence on Nazis. I've heard there's a book on surrealism related to Italian fascism.

Some books on Dadaism might be handy too....

A bunch of weebs who have deluded themselves into thinking they are better than other weebs because they pretend to live in Japan

The syphilis thing is no longer held true by scholars and medical professionals. His symptoms were more characteristic of brain cancer.

Nietzsche is also nothing like Stirner. Stirner is shallow in comparison. Nietzsche is more about the logos and will.

>>9883090
Nietzche is deeper than Stirner

jm roberts' a history of the world

Wear a toga

Nothing, now get started on the Iliad.

>>9882421
No such thing. Pick up a classic that sounds of interest to you and isn't overbearing and then read it. Come here, make a thread wanting to talk about it, and talk about it.

We're here for you, OP. Whether you're 18 or 81.

>>9882453
(p.s. wasn't meant to talk exclusively of classics, just been hitting them too hard that they were still on the brain.)

never too late

how do these traps manage to look like attractive women ? hormones ? surgery ? Its really insidious because it makes you mustrust every 'woman' you see.

answer my question please

>>9882313
Traps are the future, new developments in science will make it impossible to now whatever someone is female or male, and perhaps they will no longer exist. So embrace it. And if this is indeed a trap, I don't want women.
