Is this book considered right wing?
What's its thesis?

>>8474313
That all of culture is a mass coverup of individual mortality. We repress ourselves in the face of the immensity of existence so that we can cope with our finitude.
I don't see how it's right-wing at all really. There isn't much about it that's overtly political.

It's the sad fuccboi's go to book so that he can cope with being a puss because by this theory any sort of success or value in life is just some form of repression I. E. Illusion.

Explaining everything down to a fundamental drive is dependent upon rhetoric in order to sustain it. Freud had pleasure, Ernest keker had death denial, alder said power. It's a pointless exercise

[Serious question:]

What would all you radical individualists do with the complete freedom that come with the breakup of society? Not pay taxes? Call niggers niggers? Loot and rape? Start a business? Live off the land?

Why do books like this always have that disgusting, cluttered cover? Gross.
