eternal return is such an incredible concept, and really a great mental model to help you live properly.

>What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

What helped me a lot (and maybe it can be of interest to you) was for me to understand that he was opposing a philosophy of eternal essences (à la Plato) with a philosophy of power, which is called an ethics, and which states that creatures, including us, are not fixed essences, like a soul with a given identity for example, but a force, a strength that affects and is affected by the world. This is why he is so much (and by his own account) a descendent of Spinoza. And also a predecessor of Deleuze.

Both are essential, but I strongly feel that Brave New World is the one that needs to be recommended MUCH more.

Everyone knows the story of 1984 - a dictatorial government oppressing the people, telling lies, spying on them, being a pain in the arse.

But BNW is a much more insidious story, painting a world where people don't even dislike the dictatorial government because they are indulged with drugs, TV shows, sex, and other garbage, which keeps them pacified.

BNW is far more pertinent to today's world, I feel.

I'm sorry but it would be wise to read a bible and being looking for Christ. You may have been born Jewish but you still have time. Christ is not just about religion its about a way of thought, a mindset that places the emphasizes on the individual. Once you understand Christ you will understand why the state serves the individual and why build a safe and orderly society you need people who have internalized the right way of thinking rather then externalizing it and depending on a priest class. Although you have to be careful to study esoteric Christianity because the exoteric has become corrupted and infected by jew think.

In all seriousness, I am disdainful of their approach because it aims to sell a get rich quick scheme of relationships. It cheapens human interaction to a game, a series of tests and performances that aim to get your dick in someone. It is an unhealthy and unnatural way of interfacing with the world.

Have some respect for yourself and look for a higher quality of mentor. I promise, you will get more out of some rigorous self-improvement than you will out of conning blowjobs from club skanks.

>>136036656
>people don't even dislike the dictatorial government because they are indulged with drugs, TV shows, sex, and other garbage, which keeps them pacified
The masses are the same way in 1984, the main character is part of the ~15% of the population that is a Party member. Besides, Orwell is just a better writer than Huxley.

>>136036956
does it matter if you get something of value out of it? do you base your actions solely on what others think?

>>136036656
But 1984 is key to understnading the rhetorics of the modern progressive, the double think.
Think about it : the population replacement of Tibet was horrible, right? Even if it is criticized by minor sources as inconsistent... while white genocide is not even up for argument anymore, Jews have taken the podium and literally advised governments for it, but for some reason, since the majority of the population don't see its effects (mostly because they're long-term), it doesn't exist?

And that is but one example. The truth prevails ; and, as such, it is IMPERATIVE that the /pol/ reader be initiated in Orwell's work.

>Everyone knows the story of 1984 - a dictatorial government oppressing the people, telling lies, spying on them, being a pain in the arse.
People overrate 1984 because they overlook 1984. They think it is the spiritual successor to Orwell's book Animal Farm, about communism and totalitarianism, when it is really the spiritual successor to Orwell's essay Politics in the English Language. Newspeak, crimestop, the degeneration of meaning and resulting the sabotage of political resistance, these are all extremely powerful concepts that Orwell was sensitive to in his works. The funny thing is that people focus on the heavy hand of the state in 1984, but they rarely focus on the language that allows their supremacy to continue. You don't need an overtly totalitarian government to have it use language to browbeat you into resistance, and there are plenty of examples in "political correctness", such as the evolution of "illegal alien" to "illegal immigrant" to "undocumented immigrant". When language erodes, you're left powerless to express your thoughts, and then your resistance crumbles.

In 1984 they are controlled with state force and the control of information, but they aren't enticed into a state of happiness. But in BNW they are, by encouraging them to take drugs and watch the feelies and all that shit. They're lured into indulgence.That's why it's far more insidious.

Essentially in 1984 they still have their personal integrity and autonomy. In BNW they don't.

>>136037198
>>136037201
1984 is a very good book, a very enjoyable book, and yes many concepts like doublethink are very applicable to today, I perfectly agree with that.

But I think BNW perfectly captures how plebs are pulled in with feelings of happiness, positivity, everything's so great, the world is sunshine and rainbows, so that they don't question their existence. You see that perfectly with all this diversity shit, and with things like antidepressants too. Just take this drug and you'll be happy, and don't question your reality.

I would recommend everyone to read Louis Ferdinand Celine.
he is after all /ourguy/

In 1935, British critic William Empson had written that Céline appeared to be "a man ripe for fascism".[12] Two years later Céline began a series of pamphlets containing antisemitic themes: Bagatelles pour un massacre (Trifles for a Massacre) (1937), L'École des cadavres (The School of Corpses) (1938) and Les Beaux draps (The Fine Mess) (1941). The Fine Mess was last published in France during the German occupation. These works were characterized by a virulent antisemitism, racism and bigotry. His Trifles for a Massacre is an endless litany critical of French Jews and their influence on French society. Both The School of Corpses and The Fine Mess contain antisemitic themes.

Yeah maybe they are, but literally everybody knows about 1984 - even leftists bang on about it all the time because they think the tyranny is going to come from the right.

I think the reason BNW isn't more popular is because it reveals something about people that they don't want to hear. They don't want to acknowledge that indulging themselves with happy-go-lucky bullshit, drugs, TV shows, etc. is actually harming them and keeping them enslaved.

1984 allows them to just blame the government, they don't have to blame themselves.

I can't find a site that quotes the book so I'll just quote wikipedia:
>Inner and Outer Party members are under constant telescreen surveillance in both private and public; by contrast, proles' quarters are generally free of telescreens as the Party does not care to observe them. Proles who desire telescreens can purchase them, although they are expensive. Their functions are simple: work and breed. They are described as caring little about anything but home and family, neighbour quarrels, films, football, beer, lottery tickets, and other such bread and circuses.
>They are not required to express support for the Party beyond occasional patriotic fervour; the Party creates meaningless entertainment, songs, novels and even pornography for the proles — all written by machines. Julia is a mechanic tending the novel writing machines in Pornosec. Proles do not wear uniforms, may use cosmetics, have a relatively free internal market economy, and would be even permitted religion if they had interest in it. Proles also have liberal sex lives, uninterrupted by the Party, and divorce and prostitution are enjoyed by Proles. Despite these personal freedoms, the Thought Police plant agents among the proles to spread false rumours and eliminate any individuals deemed capable of causing trouble.
>[O'Brien] claims the proles would never revolt because they have no need to do so, so long as they are kept well-fed and distracted. The novel alludes to the unwillingness or inability of the proles to organize politically, noting that any prole suspected of independent thought is simply marked down by the Thought Police to be killed, further decreasing the possibility of revolution.

As for BWN I just think it's so much less impactful because of the writing. I could imagine Huxley giggling to himself and winking to the reader every other sentence when I read it.

I don't think BNW is necessarily "more important" but I think it's more important to talk about it because it's less talked about.

Look at all the leftist normies who say "yeah the government is like 1984 because they want to spy on us, but look terrorism is statistically unlikely hurr durr so we don't need to give government those powers"

But BNW would force them to look at themselves and think about how their own use of television / antidepressants / whatever is actually making them cucked. And people don't want to think about that.

>Proles do not wear uniforms, may use cosmetics, have a relatively free internal market economy
That's the thing, they actually still have an element of autonomy and personal integrity. They can still move about and work jobs. They are not taken as children to engage in "erotic play" for example, which is just about the most disgusting thing I can possibly imagine, which is why BNW is so insidious and disturbing.

Of course in BNW they're bred into certain classes aren't they, and then expected to fill that role. So I would say there's less personal freedom in BNW.

>As for BWN I just think it's so much less impactful because of the writing. I could imagine Huxley giggling to himself and winking to the reader every other sentence when I read it.
Perhaps you are right that 1984 is more subtle. As I say I do think 1984 is a very good book, the story is very compelling. I just find BNW more scary, more disturbing.

Have a look at this from Wikipedia for example, which points out - like I said in another post - that leftists are the ones banging on about 1984 these days:
>Elements of both novels can be seen in modern-day societies, with Huxley's vision being more dominant in the West and Orwell's vision more prevalent with dictators in ex-communist countries and the theocracies and the dictatorships of the Middle East, as is pointed out in essays that compare the two novels, including Huxley's own Brave New World Revisited.[90] However, that assessment was reconsidered in 2017 with the presidency of Donald Trump and the associated burst in popularity of Orwell's novel.[91][92][82]

You keep up the study and by extension the suffering for your entire life because that is what life is. Think of a human as a collection of all the books they have read and the media they consumed. If they consume post modern garbage and place all value on self then what you get is the modern SJW. Once you understand different philosophies you will not only understand yourself but others.

If you keep up the study and want to self initiate you can study the ancient knowledge of the mystery schools. You can read up on alchemy, hermeticism, sacred geometry, and freemasonry. This is where you will find the hidden knowledge that the dark occult is keeping from people and using to help control the world.

The media in the US are private companies, you don't have to listen to them, you can pick your own media.

It's probably the freest country in the world for media because there's no state-funded broadcaster (there's PBS but they rely on lots of donations don't they? Plus they're a tiny institution)

Nah smartphones aren't that bad. I think antidepressants are one of the worst things, because you are literally just pacifying yourself with chemicals - you're not overcoming anything, you're not proving yourself, you're not developing your character, you're not becoming emotionally tougher and stronger.

As well as happy-go-lucky media like Buzzfeed, and obsessions with brands like Starbucks. All of these things are basically putting yourself in servitude and denying yourself a true appreciation of reality.

I'm not so sure if I interpret this concept right. I haven't read that much Nietzsche, but he sees the concept of eternal return as the highest praise to life itself.

I sure would be angry in this moment, because my life had nothing that is worth to be experienced for all eternity, so I try to give my life meaning so that I can have atleast one moment that I would enjoy till eternity.

>>136041907
Like I said before, if you think the biggest concern in 1984 is the state, then you've missed an incredibly important theme on language. Nearly every totalitarian government that 1984 mirrors has fallen, except for the ones who have successfully altered language to self-perpetuate its control, such as North Korea. Without the pacification of language, the people would have revolted ages ago under such onerous conditions.

>The media in the US are private companies, you don't have to listen to them, you can pick your own media.
They still hold tremendous market share and influence.

>It's probably the freest country in the world for media because there's no state-funded broadcaster (there's PBS but they rely on lots of donations don't they? Plus they're a tiny institution)
Really? "Fake News", "Conspiracy Theory", "The Hacked Election", "Undocumented Immigrant", "Diversity is Our Strength", etc., these are the tools meant to control political discussion and squash dissent. This is our world's version of newspeak and crimestop, and it is generated by a cartel of organizations that are inbred with the globalist corporations and politicians that dominate our government. If you can't verbalize resistance, then it cannot manifest. And thus the population is pacified much like it is in Brave New World.

You can't discount either 1984 or Brave New World.

Ah I see your point. Yes those companies are powerful but they are not the state. And look at all the alternative media in America. Individuals and little businesses. Info Wars, Ben Shapiro, Breitbart, the Daily Caller - these are all independent businesses / people.

As a Brit, when I see the US, I see people who are FAR more willing to reject authority than people here in Britain. And that's a very good thing. Well it's a bad thing for us, of course.

I didn't mean smartphones as a soma of sorts (although now that you mention it, it's true for a large majority of the population), I meant in terms of privacy and freedom. Even if you pay for a smartphone outright, you have no control of the platform, and thus don't even own it. Then there's the software aspect, the "apps", when in most cases you pay with your user data. And this is all so abstracted and transparent to the end user that it ends up being thought of as benign, if thought of at all, and the consumer goes on completely oblivious and ignorant. And they end up supporting such practices, and it's now a proven slippery slope.

Yes 1984 does have a very important theme on language, I accept that very much, the doublethink concept is very pertinent to today. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength - all that stuff.

>Nearly every totalitarian government that 1984 mirrors has fallen
Well exactly. That's why I think BNW needs to have more attention in the West, especially since it doesn't get anywhere NEAR as much attention as 1984.

>They still hold tremendous market share and influence.
Still, there's lots of them and they compete - CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX. And people choose which one they want to watch. They vote with their feet - if they like what Fox is saying then they can watch Fox, and therefore Fox will make more money from advertisers.

Compare this to Britain where the BBC is state-funded and is by far the largest broadcaster, and is seen as the authoritative broadcaster. And even if you don't watch the BBC, you still have to pay for it (if you want to watch other live TV). Which is fucking insane.

>Really? "Fake News", "Conspiracy Theory", "The Hacked Election", "Undocumented Immigrant", "Diversity is Our Strength", etc., these are the tools meant to control political discussion and squash dissent. This is our world's version of newspeak
Yes you're right, but lots of those terms come from the GRASSROOTS of the left. Crazy lefty hippies, academics, existing in America's universities. They come up with a lot of this theory. And like I said, because American media is a free market, the media corporations are just doing what their audiences want them to do (the audience is coming up with terms like "undocumented", and then CNN wants to win some audience off their rivals, so they start using that term too).

>You can't discount either 1984 or Brave New World.

But look at Fox and CNN - they're competitors. They're owned by different companies, 21st Century Fox in the first instance and Time Warner in the second.

So when those two companies lobby the government (which I'm sure they do), they're not always going to be lobbying together, are they? In fact I'm sure they're not, because they both want their rival to fail.

You're implying all these big corporations are in with the government, as if they were the government themselves. But they're not. It's free enterprise.

>They all have their agendas to push. Breitbart is owned by a billionaire, Robert Mercer. Ben Shapiro is owned by the billionaire Wilks Brothers.
But they are all still independent companies who compete with each other. Compare this to a socialist state, like China, where there is effectively only one news source - the state (at least, I believe so. I'm not sure if they do have private media companies - even if they do, I'm sure they would be censored heavily by the state)

>Info Wars... well who the fuck knows what they're doing. They may be truly be independent, but they're not quality.
These days they're pretty factual. The point is you have choice, you have different viewpoints, and you can choose to watch them or not. Yes I always take Info Wars with a pinch of salt - if they make a claim I think sounds stupid then I look it up.

>I didn't mean smartphones as a soma of sorts (although now that you mention it, it's true for a large majority of the population), I meant in terms of privacy and freedom. Even if you pay for a smartphone outright, you have no control of the platform, and thus don't even own it. Then there's the software aspect, the "apps", when in most cases you pay with your user data.
Indeed I thought that's what you meant, but I just don't think they're that bad. Remember Apple not providing the government with info from that terrorist's phone? Which I disagreed with, because I want terrorists punished to the fullest extent of the law. But it shows that tech companies do actually put some protections in for your privacy.

Obviously if you don't want to use a smartphone then don't, because it's everybody's choice as a private citizen.

People say "oh they can listen in on you through your phone 24/7, even when your phone is off" - okay, but has anybody EVER been taken to jail based such evidence? As far as I'm aware, no. If that stuff ever starts happening then sure I'll probably get rid of my phone. Until that point, I'm fine with it.

Have you never herd of parallel construction? They will use the illegal surveillance on your phone to capture you. Then they will construct a case that does not involve the illicit data, for example they can contribute what they learn to a CI. Then they will throw your ass in jail and you rot in prison and never know your rights were violated.

If you think that Fox News, the arm of the Republican establishment, and CNN, the arm of the Democratic establishment, are in any meaningful sense "competitors", then you are deluded. If you believe that we have free enterprise today, then you are brainwashed.

These companies are extensively inbred and ideologically connected to the Washington DC uniparty, and falling for the controlled dispute while politicians universally advance the same authoritarian and corporatist policies, is nothing more than allowing yourself to be psychologically abused by the cruelest gaslighters in the business.

Maybe in times of normalcy when there is no real chance of an uprising, they compete for a slice of the pie, but they are guaranteed a reasonable share due to the nature of oligopoly. Look at what happened when the alternative media began to rise. They banded together to brand competing voices "fake news", and then worked with social media companies and the government to silence the opposition, even by limiting the distribution through other private networks.

See what I mean? You've been lulled into 1984 without the government having to fire a shot.

Throughout history there has been a police force and throughout history miscarriages of justice have been carried out. If anything the police are more accountable today than they've ever been. So yeah, I don't accept your argument.

We hardly live in fucking China do we? Where political dissenters are literally thrown in jail or killed. Exactly the same with Russia. Think of Alexander Litvinenko, killed by Putin's personal orders because he disrespected him.

Indeed, I'd actually recommend her books to all right-wingers, regardless of their views on Jews.
Her philosophy is very similar to fascist doctrine, and if they wouldn't know the name of the author, her books would definitely appeal to the Alt-Right.
We The Living appeals to me the most out of all of them, but that's maybe because of the whole Eastern Europe and communism thing.

i read a book called "The scum heroes".
it is the story of the discovery and conquest of america by europeans. told in a funny but completely devoid of euphemisms or excuses way. it shows how every famous conquistador used moral/religious excuses to do what he did but under all the glitter he was just an evil, greedy, self serving asshole who in the end got fucked by even greedier people... like kings and bishops who called him a hero but when they didn't need him anymore, stripped him of everything and left him to die a beggar.

That's entirely false - instead it's a label used by the left to slander the right, and then used by the right to slander the left. CNN use it to slander anything right-wing, Fox use it to slander anything left-wing.

Also these companies are investing in "alternative media". CNN is investing in Casey Neistat. Yes obviously these companies' bottom lines are being threatened by alternative media, of course. And now they're forced to adapt if they want to keep making money.

I can agree with you that there are many powerful interests in the US who have tons of money. But I can't agree with you that they are all one big monolith that you can refer to as "globalists". To me, "globalists" means Democrats, who are half of the American population - blue collar workers, black criminals, young students, all the way up to left-leaning CEOs.

>Prove a technique that when used hides the existence of the technique

You do realize it is terribly difficult to prove in a court of law that the government has used parallel construction because when used correctly all that is visible to the jury would be seemingly legal. If a government creates a fake confidential informant to provide the information they get via illegal intercepts one would be unable to prove it. Especially with the laws in place that keep that keep the informant hidden and anonymous.

Although it has been show that agencies like the DEA train their agents to violate the law by doing things like parallel construction. You don't want to believe that we are living in a police state but what you believe does not change the truth of the situation.

Imagine you have a stove and it is off. You place your hand on the metal and it is cool to the touch. After you turn the stove on your place your hand again on the metal and you burn yourself. You would say the stove is no longer cold but hot. You would think that these things are opposites, hot and cold, and from a certain perspective they are. They can also be seen as the same thing. Hot and cold is just the measure of heat and they are not really opposites.

That is modern politics. (((Those))) in the know, play left and against each other and in a very limited perspective they are. When you look at it differently both the left and the right are moving toward the same goal and there is no significant difference. If you can't see that then I pray you will spend more time reading books then spouting about how stupid everyone else is.
