Redbull doesn't have like any caffeine in it though. Then again, why don't you just drink coffee? It's more potent and actually good for you.

Recommendations for literature that addresses white mens' issues?

Nothing about material pain, timmy calling you flatnose in the third grade, or other mediocre grievances. Strictly problems that only becomr apparent when your IQ passes 110 and you have the leisure and security which higher thought requires.

Examples: ennui, depression, aesthetics, dysgenics, democratic failure, racial incompetence, conquering nihilism, anxiety, self cultivation
