It's actually more aesthetic with a shelf where the owner doesn't appear to care about how the books look. Just tons of books stacked on top of eachother in whatever way fits, mostly with wear and a mix of hardcover and paperbacks. This "look" is much more impressive than some shining, sparkly new hardcovers stacked neatly.

not important at all as long as i can read the title on the spine

This is what my shelf looks like except with a couple beer cans. it's a 3-shelf thing and it's at capacity so I've gotten into the habit of stacking books in front of the rows. 75% of my books are from the used shop and there's no semblance of organization beyond author's works stacked together. i dont think anyone besides me has ever even seen my bookshelf.

but I do like shelves with a nice curated aesthetic. if I ever get a girlfriend I hope her shelf is cute. if she reads.

Should've found a pic of Evola, Rodger, hitler, or Moldbug instead

Thanks man

The best part of these stories is knowing that authors will most likely fail to reproduce.

I don't know. Everybody has to begin somewhere. Dorian could lead to the Decay of Lying, Walter Pater, then culture. When I was younger I might have trird to encourage to read more with my penis. But now that I think about it, that was a mistake. Your position is healthier, by far!

Enough to feed me.

Plato was literally the first one to formulate the critique, right before he descended into even wackier eleatic monism

You say that but I never seen any of his work that wasn't stupidly obvious and heavy handed.

He was basically like the John Oliver of the 18th century

Just take the names out completely

>>9192273
not that faggot but removing the names would just make the proposition quicker to read

But then, you maybe lose track who said what.
In this example it's no problem but if the dialogue is a bit longer.

this. Fatalism doesn't necessarily make good literature.

Also I'm a continental European but we generally like english lit the most, the local stuff (belgium) is pretty mediocre.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that because something is obscure, it requires a higher intellect, anon.

I plan on reading Thom Wolfe one day. Never heard of Gene

All of it. When Wolfe can't remember one of his short stories, he asks me.

It's barely a coherent movement. What joins them together is their common enemy: liberalism/leftism/multiculturalism/post-modernism

As they gain power, they'll splinter. You can already see this with the way Yiannopoulos has been tossed under the bus.

Nick Land has an interesting fantasy about how it might hold together, if these forces achieved power, but I'd guess it's a fantasy. The techno-commercialists will toss the "race realists" under the bus, the first chance they get.

>Is it any different to academic theorising?
This implies you have some kind of bias against "academic theorising", which I can only interpret that you would prefer action to ideas.

The answer is that they have no need for you unless you want to be a racist brownshirt goon (in which case you will be liquidated when useful) or if you are a scientific genius.

Why do you post an image with e-celeb twitter personas? Twitter is just a shitposting platform, it's not reflective of real life.

Yes to everything. Its philosophical progenitors (moldbug, land, etc.) have laid the groundwork for at least a subsection of what is now commonly referred to as the "alt-right" and neoreactionary philosophy has some indirect
influence on the current US administration (people like anton who aren't full blown NRx but have tended towards its guiding principles, thiel who funded moldbug, and people like Steve Bannon who reportedly has read some NRx tracts)

Anytime plebs agree that something is the worst part of a pleb series it's either going to be legitimately the shittiest thing you've ever read or God-tier and too good for its audience, there is no in between.

i haven't read a lot of Awful Spot Tard's work, but it seemed that each book i did read was about a boy who was viciously beaten by an older brother, which makes me wonder about his own childhood.
