Yeah, it‘s pretty much what I expected: a combination of oversight between the efforts to turn Germany into an economic zone during the Weimar years, and attempts by major corporations to work with the Third Reich after it became the legitimate government of Germany—interposed incoherently to suggest a hand was taken in bringing Hitler to power. And a bit of town gossip about the Hitler family to suggest a tainted lineage roundly discredited by historical research, as I knew there always would be with this same old crackpot song and dance.

Naturally, I suspect you haven‘t read the information yourself or you‘d have synthesized this into your own words instead of running behind the cover of broadly irrelevant infodumps which had been blindly trusted to deliver your paranoid conspiracy theory at the bottom line.

Sir Isaac Newton was certified Game of Thrones tier. Master of the Mint, master of disguises, went undercover in sketchy bars as well as brothels, personally executed criminals and counterfeiters, and dabbled in the occult like a mad lad (“the last of the magicians”).

I recently read it as well

Thought it was ok

To be honest i have read this and the red and the black, and the French blackpilling just gets to me. Like somehow these books are negative for your soul, even these heroic actions of Julien Baseder just leave you feeling empty.

Compared to say Dostoyevsky, st. Augustine, Junger are more positive for the soul, even though not all flowers and roses.

I will try the French drink again with Flaubert’s sentimental education, wonder what I am walking into.

>I find JK Rowling based.
She's not. The entire underlying theme of Harry Potter is that racemixing is good, and the purebloods who want their offspring to look like them are evil. She forces as many africans into the story as possible, even having Harry's love interest (Ginny) make out with a nog in public, in front of her classmates and family members. There's a reason that these books have had such culture dominance over the last couple decades, and it's not because they're well written. JK Rowling has also personally donated millions and millions of dollars to the UK labor party, supporting the invasion of migrants into Europe, while she sits in her castle in Scotland.

Yeah I'm aware of interlinears. I'm asking about Hyplern. Most of their texts I have not found at all as free books. They also have interlinears for other languages, some of which there are no interlinears for from anyone else. But it's one guy making them so he can't be translating himself, but must be using google translate or something. I think $6 is too much for one ebook.

The dregs of society pool together like the dirty puddles they tromp. Dublin is their city. Dubh Linn. Black Pool. The name evokes images of heroin rolling on foil. The Spire watches high over O’Connell Street, a lantern above the oily slick roads, taxis and buses rolling through them, like a needle penetrating the veiny patchwork streets. Those streets are haunted with blood; blood of revolutions, of stabbing victims, blood infected with HIV and malice and the blood of childbirth. And the dregs are this city’s lifeblood. Like pools of black blood drying on the streets below the Spire.

The human urge to throw off the chains of people who claim to be your master goes back thousands of years, cuck.
The modern age of revolution has roots that far back, but can be seen as starting with the new world colonies defying their European aristocracies. You from America? Or are you a little British toad who wants to grovel at Charles feet?

I read this because of Quinn and Reddit. Loved it. Fucking great series, I should have read it a long time ago. The only comment I have is that Asimov comes up with some weird, silly names for his characters. It's like he's trying real hard to invent futuristic names but they come out kinda retarded. Askone, Ponyets, Wienis, Hari, Sermak, Dorwin, Lundin Crast for goddamn sakes! I guess it's better than naming everyone John or Jennifer.
