are there any good books that will help me overcome my fears

specifically my insecurity when I see strong muscled men, I often think to myself, "jeez that guy could take anything he wanted from me and I wouldn't be able to stop him."

starting competing in combat sports, most muscle guys are pussies, once you fuck up a couple scary looking muscle guys in sparring you'll get over it, that's what the homos on /fit/ never understand, your muscles aren't going to give you heart, the only way to not be cowardly is fight

The book you are looking for is some volume on civil law or something.

Gay literature?
If you fantasise about a strong man pinning you down and taking your anal virginity you're probably gay.

He has one "decent" (read, "marginal") book for every ten bad ones.

Is there any particular reason people here keep calling him a pedophile? Is there any actual evidence of this beyond conjecture and hearsay? If so please link. Also pedophilia isn't even illegal. Just pederasty.

Anything I should read before Stirner or can you just dive into it?

Dive into it. Its mostly a rebuttal of things that came before anyway.

>>9819487
Read ego and its own. Then read the newer translation the unique and its property. I would also recommend reading Marx's critiques of Stirner if you're interested.

It's very interesting. It's the only atheistic world view that actually seems somewhat appealing. I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to live my life though. The tight rope walker and the pale criminal died through their madness, but I don't have a madness or obsession like that. So I don't know what to do.

It's certainly less sexy than political philosophy, especially the continental, socialist utopia varieties. It's less sexy than old humanist utopianism as well. Most average people have nothing to gain from Analytic philosophy, it doesn't promise them anything.

Can we talk about this? http://www.sengokudaimyo.com/Forced_Affection.html
From what I read from Genjimonagatari, a source someone posted before, and researched, it seems it was either:
1.the women were expected culturally to resist, as to not appear too "easy" (as we know that has always been seen as disreputable for women across many cultures)

2.they were actually trying their hardest to resist literal rape and obviously gave up after awhile(of course not too long because then that's a social faux pas and makes you look like a "bitch").

I'm really trying to figure this out because obviously translation and context is always an issue. Plus,the latter would be pretty fucked up. The former would just be kind of weird but usual double standard.

On a side note, why is there so much autism in Japanese social expectations and norms? Like their is an exact expectation/ritual that must be followed to T for a lot of things or else you risk "losing face;" it's retarded.

I put this on /his/ earlier but I felt the amount of interpretation needed due to the source being literary kind of makes it /lit/ related.

rape is always the victim's fault. 100% of rape incidents could have been avoided if the victim consented

>it's retarded
Westerners, they'll never learn! And not with a mindset like that which lends to ridicule and scorn instead of an attempt at deeper understanding. Centuries of colonialism will attest to this. Oh no, I understand perfectly though, you're on 4chan, you strive to fit in, so I don't blame you at all for your exclamation.

Do you believe in the power of Words and Intent? Does what you say impact the reality of yourself and others on a level that is not only heard, but felt beyond audible words?

Can words and literature shape our perception, and reality itself? If it were so, would you change the things you say?

When ever I'm doing something shit, I tend not to realise it's shit until i say the words "this is shit" in my mind. After that point the task becomes unbearable or causes associated pains of body and emotion. I tend now to never thing bad of any task i'm given and i don't mind doing them now.

i would like to find out more about conservative philosophy, any lit recommendations for someone new to this "field"?

forget the philosophy, if you want to stroke your conservative boner read some Willa Cather, you'll like it
>>
There's no such thing. There's right-libertarian philosophy, which US conservatism appropriates sometimes to support a small state and free market capitalism (while ignoring the more liberal end of the philosophy and its critiques of conservatism), but US conservatism does not really have an articulated philosophical basis.
>>
in contemporary discourse, "conservative" means a lot of things, for better or worse. so the best thing to do at the outset is to ask yourself what your core principles are, what things you value, even if they are contradictory or you're not sure how to systematically go about them. then you can decide what kinds of conservatism you want to look into, based on that.

at the outset you should also be aware that the entanglement of american conservatism with economic libertarianism is an historical accident and not necessary whatsoever. many conservatives are statists, many conservatives are protectionists, many conservatives are socialists, many conservatives have no stance on economics whatsoever because they think it's a badly-posed question that misses the truth of conservative thought (e.g., that society is about culture, not economics).

contemporary conservatism in america basically means reaganite neoconservatism, which is (arguably) straussian protectionist and schizophrenic. by no means do you have to read or like or care about them. that picture is a good example: d'souza is a neocon, and buckley was a paleocon with neocon tendencies, sitting together and very similar in some ways but very different in others.

tldr: don't confuse conservatism with an economic policy or stance. in fact, start from the assumption that 20th century economics is mostly a cult of prognosticators cum policy-makers

Hated the first pages of it even though I agree with him. It was so boring I wanted to stop reading it and never continue.

I've never had anything to do with pol and have read it. Yeah, it's slow at the beginning but still an important book for whites to understand because of the one-sided programming we've been subjected to regarding Hitler and WWII. Hitler diagnoses the jewish problem well and even though his rule was brief, he showed how dynamic and healthy a society could be without jews spreading their cultural sickness within it. Weimar Germany was a direct parallel of America today, full of jewish degeneracy, and Hitler came in, cleaned it up, and dealt with the problem. As a result, he was destroyed, made into the propaganda boogeyman of evil personified, and used to brainwash whites around the world into thinking that looking out for their own ethnic and national interests is immoral. Of course, Hitler cared about his people and only wanted what was natural; unfortunately we've strayed far from reality in a world where such feelings are considered evil and unnatural.
