DRUMPF BTFO

HOW CAN HE BEAT HILLARY NOW? HOLY FUCK IT'S OVER FOR THE STALE PALE MALE!

I was a high school debater in the US, and later judged debate while I was in college.

This shit was endemic even then, you hate a fuck-ton of Kritical Affirmatives that had nothing whatsoever to do with the topic that people came to debate and everything to do with ever more creative ways to employ variations of the race card, the woman card, or both. Coupled with speed reading, which was another procedural bullshit strategy, it poisoned the sport of debate.

The strategy behind a Kritical-Affirmative is two-fold: you're bringing a case to debate that most teams are not fully prepped for the way that a topical affirmative is prepped for, and any judge that would normally vote you down for an extra-topical case will hesitate to do so because you're playing to racial and other Kritical issues. The strategy behind speed reading is that any dropped argument is considered to be lost by the team that dropped it, so cramming as many non-eloquent words as possible into a speech to make as many arguments as possible, no matter how weak, has become standard across many teams.

What you wind up with are "debaters" who have little to no rhetorical skill who can only use procedural strategy and some who turn every issue into a racial issue. It's fucking sad to see, and anytime I saw it I downvoted it.

I wish in HS debate you could go full 1488.

It would be just as offputting as their tactics.

The Art of the Deal

absolutely The Gorilla Mindset by Saint Michael Cernovich (PBUH)

nope. in the end, our deepest drive is to secure the continuity of the human race. infact, having an orgasm or giving birth are the only two instances you don't go into survival-mode, even if your life is in danger. which shows that biology values procreation higher than the individuals life. you can hone your character and enlighten your soul all you want. at the roots, you just want to spawn babies. the sooner you acknowledge this, the better you will be able to handle it and guide that drive with reason

Because they're not Harlan Ellison.

Ligotti's too much of an autistic shut-in to care. he's probably just happy he's selling more books.

>>9179359
Can confirm. I bought a book by him just because of this show :v

Evola - 'Ride the Tiger'
Schopenhauer - 'On Women'
Luther - 'On the Jews an their Lies'

> I was hoping to become literate in politics and philosophy during that period

You know you will spend it doing nothing.

Just masturbate, play video games and watch stupid shit online. Be realistic about how you're going to spend that time, so you don't end up disappointed or bitter.

If you had any interest in this stuff, you would already know where to start. You don't need to be a NEET to know about politics and philosophy.

What kind of hellhole do you live in?

I was paid the equivalent of 400$ for letting a couple of doctors continuously shoot me up with IV morphine for 8 hours while they did some bloodwork and ran some numbers on it.

I choose this because I have no interest in or reason to learn programming. It's not really my field and I expect the book is rather dry even for those who like that sort of thing. Besides all that, it's Advanced programming and not Beginner programming which would be the logical place to start if you want to make any sense of it, but I've not read that either.

I'm hesitant on reading Les Miserables because it's 1400~ pages and I'm not sure how long that'll take me if it's a slow challenge or if it's thoroughly captivating like Don Quixote. But I want to read it before I see the live show in London this Summer.

>>9178898
why would you even read this if you weren't at least curious about programming what on earth are you doing my man
