Men who like reading books become effeminate because it is a feminine hobby. I have studied this phenomenon for a while. How do we fix it? The political implications are obvious since bookworms tend to have no connection to reality and lean left
Illiterate chads FTW
i read, and its been so obvious since february that most of you dont
>>537426746>How do we fix it?Why fix it? Real men don't read
>>537426939Vom Krieg? Damn good book. If only Trump read it.
I read a decent amount. Not hard stuff, basic horror and sci-fi. It’s entertaining and expands your vocabulary. Im currently reading Hyperion, it’s pretty good
>>537426746Can confirm. Am bookworm, became mtf

>>537426746Read the Bible
Well, a library is a good example. The intellectual level of the library has been reduced to bottom tier retards. In America. For a public library. The likelihood of finding a biography of for example Cher or Seth Rogan is far greater than one of Stalin or Hitler. If for some reason there is a biography of Stalin or Hitler it can only be one published in the past 20 years and thus up to date on the current political views. This is very similar to what has happened to the university system, which is the inclusion of women, jews, and nonwhites has resulted in our intellectual training facilities being turned against us. Of all the books being published, the ones being printed the most are all slop mostly for women, and of all the books that are actually allowed in the big libraries and bookstore chains, they are all basically designed for girls and black people, since girls and black people have ascended up the ranks of all the bureaucracies managing those places.
Men read the McMaster-Carr Bible, and the Machinists Handbook. Also, men carry a Pocket Ref for toilet usage outside the shop/factory/forge/rig.
The majority of authors are men
I used to read a lot in my teenage/early 20s. Like two 300+ page books a week.I'm 35 now and I can't remember the last time I read something printed on paper. I think AI, video games, video essays and podcasts have completely replaced books. Only people still reading who aren't pseudo intellectual frauds actually have a professional purpose to keep educating themselves.
>>537426746>literacy is BAD.Wow. This really has become a communist shithole, hasn’t it?
>>537427358>The intellectual level of the library has been reducedLibraries are now day care centers for the homeless.
Reading books is the most performative hobby. People really fashion their entire personality around stacks of paper they keep on a shelf visible in every picture they take of themselves just so they can occasionally be like "mmm yes this harkens back to Nabokov." It's self-aggrandizing wank for people who think we need to endlessly honor antiquity while accusing everyone else who thinks that in other contexts of being a Nazi.
>>537426746This is an extremely fucking stupid PsyOp and everyone involved in its production and distribution deserve to be eviscerated with a rusty saw
The fact that /pol/ still falls for bait this fucking poor is astonishing.
>he doesnt read booksNGMI
White people are the only ones who historically ever read for pleasure. Some cultures read scripture, if they were capable of it. A vast majority did not have any equivalent authorship whatsoever; many did not have written language, or if they did it wasn't complex and was strictly utilitarian. Literature is the realm of white people, especially white men. If you attack book-readin' then you are a filthy Jew and should be killed, or one of their shabbos niggers and should also be killed.

>>537427358My favorite are the "banned books" stands they put up in USA bookstores.NOT ONCE DO THEY SELL ANYTHING ACTUALLY "banned". It's all preapproved rebellious shit that's been rinsed, 1984 with a picture of Trump's face next to it, stupid shit like that

>>537426746As someone who writes books, I will tell you, it has everything to do with corporate marketing.The largest reading audience by a magnitude is female romance readers. Every publishing corporation, regardless of what genres they cover, want that audience. The result is that all genres, all styles of books, are gradually turning into cheap romance porn for women and excluding everything else because it's not profitable.
Why are libraries tasked with feeding children instead of the parents?
>>537428601This is a rape board.
>>537426746Reading is actually masculine. Men learn by interacting with objects and tools, women learn in social settings being told what to do. This is why the education system is considered feminine and masculine boys do not thrive in the environment.
>>537428658expecting black people to feed their kids is white supremacy.
>>537426746The only "books" women read are smut stories about fairy sex and other retarded shit to cope with their boring lives.
Half my jewtube feed some days is book bro channels even though I block them. They universally have bad takes just like the women but at least women are pretty and sound nicer to listen to.What a man reads matters a lot. Classics are good, romantasy is obviously posing. Scifi is understandable but it should be considered entertainment not something to revolve one's life around (star trek and star wars nerds). Fantasy is seen as more childish but tolerable, again, if it's just occasional entertainment.Romance? No.History books? Eh... As long as it's not Roman Empire or WW2.Non fiction, it depends. Self help is bad, business books can be okay.You know what can be okay? Biographies of other men. Not Hitler. But Napoleon is okay.As always it depends on the woman but most of them would hate to be blown off by their man so he can spend time reading all the time. They don't mind if he has dedicated reading time that they can, SOMETIMES interrupt, but if the time is otherwise free and she wants attention, rejecting her to read a book will inspire envy in a woman.
>>537428751>>537428833everyone woman i know who reads keeps it to romance fantasy and true crime, usually as audiobooks. They also all hate nonfiction because it keeps saying things they "know" isn't true.

>>537429007That's as a hobby not for learning. Don't even get me started on women and romance novels. My mom has an entire room full of them. Not even exaggerating, literally full.

https://youtube.com/@interestingbooksreviewed?si=5Sxlv43LIuYCrjmPHere’s my favorite book YouTuber guy. Obviously redpilled and entertaining. He’s heavy on conspiracies but honestly at this point fucking anything can be true. His multiple reviews about ufos has made him think it’s pretty much the US government abducting people and trying experiments on them which makes sense to me.

>>537426746The image is specifically referring to bros who read a specific subset of books, that tend to be masculine. Why would you use that image to discuss reading being effeminate?

>>537429362>What in god's nameThe problem is real
>>537428547Sun Tzu's Art of War is more like Machiavelli's The Prince. It's a primer text for retarded leaders who got put in place by nepotism or inheritance to help them not make stupid noob mistakes.Clausewitz's On War is a more autistic examination of warfare in his time and war's place within the larger framework of diplomacy. I don't mean autistic in a bad way it was just a book aimed at generals and diplomats who were presumed to already not be retarded, and he dives deep into aspects of war that don't really merit that much examination.Clausewitz definitely mogs almost every other book on Military Strategy that exists. And I only say almost simply because I haven't read every other book. I'm sure the (modern, CCP) Chinese have some really good books on the subject that haven't been translated.
>>537426746who cares what ugly bitches think?
>>537427358Libraries are outmoded. They provided a valuable service to communities as a repository of information before the internet. They are useless post-Google. I'm old enough to remember going to my school library in elementary school to look at animal picture books. I would think "I wonder what a humpback whale looks like" and the only way to find out would be to go find a book in the library about whales. Now I can find 10,000 hours of 8k footage of humpback whales in 2 seconds. Libraries have been reduced to "nice to have" at best. They're not serious places anymore because they do not serve a real purpose.

>>537429776obviously a minority, i.e., white, kid is the perfect illustration here
>>537426746Only the ones that try to use it as a social hobby ornm get addicted to fantasy. Give them better books. Primarily nonfiction. Philosophy, history, survivalist, etc.
It’s because men barely get published anymore. Unless they are homosexual. Women are the readers, because women are the writers. Certainly in fiction. Stick to non-fiction, and try limiting yourself to stuff published before WW2.
>>537426746Men who don't read books end up like Americans and Ukrainians, who get chewed up and spit out by kikes.
>>537426746I read all the time and have a multiple tens of thousands of dollar library. What the deal is, is that men aren't reading the romantasy or romystery novels the publishers are cranking out these days. People are reading Cicero, and Sanchunathion.Here's an except of what I've been reading, it's the Babylonian take on Jews.

For the algorithm."Liking this video really helps my channel." How so? Youtube's algorithm looks at the like count, view count and viewer retention, and weighs them to push them towards more people or not.They're all grifters who want as much money as possible.They're trying to be content creators for a living, usually without actually having any content to create, hence reaction channels.Making clickbait titles is part of the ruse, it gets more clicks, thus the thumbnail and title styles automatically get favoured.Hence hot take in the title, or "you don't understand", or "nobody knows this" without mentioning the topic, usually.But think about what they're doing."Praise be to the algorithm, may it provide me blessings"?That reeks of turning AI algorithms into a fucking deity, into a god.There's a fucktonne of Christians and mudshits who do this and they don't realise what they're doing. All they see is money.

>>537433921Thanks for sharing
>>537426746All of the greatest pieces of literature throughout history were written by men and preserved by men. Men have also had higher literacy rates than women for most of history. Reading is about as effeminate as engineering.
>>537426746Something like 80% of editors are women. The reason masculine men don't read as much is because the vast majority of books are written by/for women. The only men who want to read foidslop are effeminate.
>>537427358This. Public libraries are a joke now. I haven't set foot in one in over ten years. Last time I did, it had LGBT displays on the walls--and this was in a rural area in a red state.

Gotta love a thread for low brow midwits and pseuds to rant about how they’re ackshually better than people who don’t waste their literacy with made up accusations and claims about stores or libraries that are verifiably untrue. It’s hysterical to hear claims about libraries being 100% femslop or whatever from people who haven’t been in a library since the 5th grade. I really have to leave this board man. This place genuinely has an average IQ around room temperature.
I'm getting my PhD in English Lit for this exact reason. I want to fight against a certain irritating trend in this field. Literature has become too effeminate, relying on "nontraditional" narratives to seem like we (English Lit scholars) are doing something interesting.What we should be doing: using the western canon to educate young men on the proper way to conduct themselves in society. Work from Chaucer all the way to the postmodernists. Too many English courses have removed any mention of the classics or works that aren't just "I'm part of the global south, gibs me money sir" because they want to bring these "culturally enriched" voices forward. OK, cool, go do that in your own little cesspool shithole in the jungle lmao.Gotta teach at a private mostly white christian college to get away with it.
>>537433789>Here's an except of what I've been reading, it's the Babylonian take on Jews.What's it called? That sounds really neat.

The only book I read in the past few years was notes from the underground. Pretty interesting and relatable of a read.
>>537426746Books are simply outdated. When you look at how people, especially if you break it down by gender, obtain information books simply aren't the most effective way. Also, women may simply read more books, but the books they consume is nothing really more than porn. When men buy books, it's usually non-fiction and when women buy books it's usually fiction.Thinking you're smart because you read a book is like thinking you're a formula 1 driver because you regularly speed.

>>537427954>AI, video games, video essays and podcastsI've gone back to books because all of that shit sucks and oversaturates the media space. If I want reliable and trustworthy information that exists permanently, I need a book.
>>537439308i agree with this anon >>537439408Do what you want, but i also wouldn't take anything in the humanities for any forceable future. Was myself thinking of doing either philosophy or history, but seeing how completely infiltrated those have become by jews, fags, browns, trannies and leftists i decided against it. Modern social-science and humanities academia is nothing more than a circlejerk of self-important fags who wave around "media literacy" like it's the holy grail while only being able to analyze a piece of media at bare minimum surface level.
>>537439510Hilarious reply. You don’t even know how this ridiculous notion that every book store is just a bipartite selection of femslop or miggerslop shows that you really do have no fucking clue what is in these stores or libraries and that’s because you are unironically an imbecile who does not read, does not attempt to read, would not read no matter what is in those stores. It’s almost like sour grapes. > I mean I can’t read for shit and don’t have a fucking clue what’s in a book store because I haven’t been inside one in my entire adult life but men who read are like scrawny miggers or somethingLOL.

And all the shit they read is the same hivemind slop like Cormac McCarthy. No dude, I'm not going to watch Evangeleon or read No Country For Old Men, I'm going to read books about Jews and watch Hitler speeches.

My wife begs me to read her books before bed lol.

>>537429223This sounds exactly like the type of shit some Christcuck would say.
>>537439605There’s a small carve out for conservative faculty in history, finance, economics, and law at some schools. English? Not really. But the bigger problem is you just won’t get a job. These schools are filled with boomers who won’t retire, have a glut of Gen X and Millenials waiting for their shot at a tenure or full-time position and they are 100% all in on DEI, not that any of these matters because their income is in free fall and they can’t afford to hire new faculty anyway. If he really wants to dedicate his career to teaching English, he would be better off distinguishing himself professionally somehow and then getting the PhD. Even then it won’t help with his goals because faculty don’t decide the curriculum. There are administrators who decide the department’s focus. Nowadays it’s shitlib boomers and black women and they are simply not going to allow some young chud to come in and retool the whole curriculum.
>>537434433Can you comfortable read on that swing? What's it for?
>>537426746Women don't read non-fiction
>>537439433This.I only started reading when I was 30 but it's been great. Way better than watching youtube or doomscrolling.But when you finish a book and look it up online to see what other are saying about it you are confronted with the pure faggotry that is the online literary community.You have to fight your revolusion and not let these people ruin books and reading for you. You're not part of any particular subculture just cause you choose to read books.
>>537426746The only winning move is to be Hunk McLarge-Huge.Then you can read whatever you want, while your thots furiously fanfic to their dark fantasy romance non-con harem erotica.
>>537440285>You're not part of any particular subculture just cause you choose to read booksThis. Book clubs are gay. But self-study, especially through reading old books from the days before the poz, is based.
>>537426746Read old school philosophy like Marcus Aurelius. Reading fiction is for children, reading anything else is for women.
>>537429778"The Metaphysics of War" and "The Book of Five Rings" are masterpieces of the mind.

>>537426746>it is a feminine hobbyElaborate.
>>537433816Please do.
>>537440553Aurelius is okay. Read the Nicomachean Ethics and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, the two most important Western works on ethics.
>>537428227Is this grifter still parking leased ferraris in front of the used bookstore he runs out of his garage?
>>537428323Anal beads heheheYes I read Hesse, these are his lens if you're past 26.

>>537426746Only books a man should read are history books about the Roman Empire and the Wehrmacht/SS
>>537440553>Reading fiction is for childrenThe Iliad and King Lear aren't. Fiction doesn't necessarily mean childish self-insert wish-fulfillment fantasies.
>>537428535I also read old books, but only because I'm too stingy to buy new books.>>537429007Women read and write more books than men do. You can find more non-fiction books written by women than by men.I find it interesting that most biographies of great men (scientists, mathematicians, explorers, artists) tend to be written by women, but the people who write actual scientific treatises or works on a particular subject tend to be men. You rarely ever see women writing Physics or Chemistry textbooks. Also, you rarely ever see women writing books on military history, even though they do tend to write a fuckton of social history books.
Retarded thread
>>537426746My bookshelf is just things like Angels in Iron, Blood Meridian, The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, The Camp of the Saints and non-fiction history books.
>>537439700>if it's in a book it's trueI never said that? Dipshit jeet
>>537426746depends on what you read, not all reading is good, you can absolutely read trash that it's bad for you.
>>537426746>Men who like reading books become effeminate because it is a feminine hobby.Lawyers read more than anyone and most of them are very aggressive and not effeminate at all.
>>537439632>Wall o' seethe Case in point, haha
>>537428547They're complementary texts, good reads both
>>537439134Nah I've been, they're all like that. The only part worth going is the classics section where they have to begrudgingly include all of the old white authors in the canon.
>>537426746If you read dumb female romances and fantasy slop yes. Read real classical books by men for men.
>>537441059Lawyers don't read because they like reading. They read because they get paid to read, and most of what they read is not flowery prose or emotional poetry, but rather dense legal texts opinions, and testimonies from their clients.But yeah, I'll admit negro-games and the Internet drove away most of the manly guys from reading, who, in previous generations, would've been reading fantasy fiction or books about great wars and great generals.
>>537426746p-o-l should read the Emerald Tablets, or you'll be slaves your whole life.
>>537439224All those new women's sloppa books have to go somewhere though, usually straight into the trash. There are actually a lot of old book buyers secondhand, whereas girlbooks usually go straight into the trash after never being read.Getting harder and harder to find real books actually since girlbooks are taking up so much space.
>>537428416If I was in charge of making a banned book display it would be shit like The Bell Curve, Culture of Critique, Mein Kampf, The Turner Diaries, The Camp of the Saints, splatterpunk in general, and Ass Goblins of Auschwitz. Maybe just manifestos from mass murderers. Uncle Ted would probably be featured on a separate display "contemporary civics" with texts about guerilla warfare, ecoterrorism, military manuals, etc.
>>537441190Inter-library loan is the only reason to go to them anymore. I'm not going to buy a collection of PEN award winners, or the pushcart prize anthology. If I want to get a nice breadth of what's being published in short fiction in a given year, it's nice to be able to pull out anthologies like that, though.I've got three of them checked out right now. One of which I'll finish this weekend.
>>537439596This, I have one singular podcast that's tolerable, a handful of youtube channels (that are still slop but can be tolerated), video games and AI are slop, video essays obviously slop.Books are the only thing that aren't raped by the ever-changing (ever-worsening) world, at least not yet.
>>537441397That and YA. Holy shit, my local library's stacks for fiction are like 1/3rd chick YA.

>>537442382I thought I'd adequately prepared by reading a bunch of nasty jew shit like Robert Silverberg.Nah I hadn't, not one bit.
Yeah very interesting how people with higher rates of literacy and intelligence also happen to overlap with the left. What could it possibly mean? Really bakes the noodle.
>>537433946
>>537426746i read a lot growing up, even up until the last decade (late 2010's), but i haven't recently.the time for reading is when young, when you need to establish a strong foundation, so that when you're old you can walk on that foundation, revisiting the books from time to time, to see if they were right or snares.women read to ensnare themselves, while men read to free themselves.so womens opinion on the matter is mostly irrelevant.
>>537426746The only things a Man should read are The Holy Bible (KJV only) and technical manuals relevant to his chosen profession.
People pretend that books are great because its so boring that no one wants to do it. So sicne no one actually read, those who do can pretend that they re great becasue they know that no one will verify, thus they can keep the lie that they re some hihgly aesthetic intelligent wonderful peopleare ar emostly basic bits of knowledge that all no nretards know already, and parasites write them down to other parasites, making money and pseudo glory while readers can bragthey re essentially brainwashing tools made to disable your critical thinking and make you gobble a bunch of shit, every book is a bible really hence why women love em so muchc since they dont think and really dont want to, they just want a shortcut and find the secret magical techniques that will solve their life problems and pretend that they re not uselsssjust like dudes wearing a suits and glasses, owmen assume anything written in a book is automatically intelligent and true its an authority labelthey re also written by narcissistis who cannot synthetize or be intelligble to save their lives. Its stuff written in fiction to make people who dont want to learn learn anyway a bit like movies, and just like movies they re mostly retard propagandait creates plenty of drones and slaves repeating prechewed talking point to keep the kikery going and feel better bout themselves. parasites read em to do more damage than they could by themselves and doign so they will face superior people and inevitably be defeated cuz ainot no book redin fag having the ultimate understanding of anything, knowledge comes from oneself and i dont need socrates to know that. books actually dfisable learning because you should have learnt these things by yourself. so you end up not truly undertsanding yet believing that you do. you lack context and you apply somewhat blindly or in a clumsy fashion. books are both the strength and the weakness of dumdums like jews, a test and a traponly book worth reading is the bible
>>537442787Sorry, didn't read, would have turned me into a fag
>>537442872its based it will protect you from tranny fucking, read
I listen to audiobooksA decent narrator elevates a book, slop otherwise becomes entertaining.
>>537426746Women weren’t even allowed to read for a long time, retard.
I like reading, it can be boring, but it's rewarding if what you're reading isn't your typical modern day slop or shitty fantasy/sci-fi/horror slop. People who think reading is entirely performative are just insecure. Also audiobooks don't count as reading.
>>537426746I read shitty japanese light novels. Every time I go to read some philosophy book I'll spend the entire time just thinking to myself that either author was a retard or agreeing with most things they say, but everything they say is plain to see and/or easy to reason, so I think those books are for people who lack their own reason.Then I go straight back to shitty light novels. The comfy journey, the cute girls that act as muses for the soul, the humor and tragedy, and of course the autism. While they might not have the best prose, nor the deepest meaning, they do feel more wholistic than more contemporary works.
>>537443128and since they were allowed they are turning fucking insane, making the worst decisions possible, supporting pedophiles, attacking good people, and killing themselveswhy would you expose women to enemy propaganda trying to destroy them in and out? when my mother wanted internet i told her know becaus ei knew she would become even more insaneyou let some childish bitch scroll she ll join some sect travel to the end of the world and come back in a box
>>537440611where the fuck did /sig/ go anyways
>>537426746What do we do all day on this board apart from read? It's different from books though, it's debate. Reading books is a submissive activity, you are submitting yourself to the views of the author, you don't have any real way of replying, and you spend hours and hours listening to them without them being able to hear you. It's very submissive, maybe that's why it's not as attractive to men? Books used to be more popular, but so was them being used as a means of debate. Men would read a book whilst simultaneously writing their own about the author stating why he's such a fucking idiot and why he's wrong. The modern equivalent is internet debate. Reading books in the modern age instead of debating online is a very submissive character trait, a feminine one, why the fuck should I read what you fuck you write without you having to read what I write? Exactly.
>>537441917My sister read those. She also liked canticle for Leibowitz. I tried listening to it but it's too hard for me. She often says my writing is like crying of lot 49

>>537443667>you don't have any real way of replyingYes, you do. You write your own replies. That's called active reading.
>>537443657pretentious garbage for bookfags. is this pihlosophy or shakespeare? all for what, random ass claims backed by nothing and anthopomorphization of insects? he sounds like leftists comparing god to a man and drawing conclusion from that, the kind of guy to judge gods actions. this guy tries so hard being critical he ends up insane. he has no measure eitherhighly educated amounts to highly brainwashed especially bookfags wise
I spend several hours every day. Just because we don't buy thinnly veiled pornography to flip our beans to on coffee breaks does it mean don't read. The entire publishing industry is dead. Name a good movie based off a book published in the last ten years. What man wants read the horseshit babble of women, niggers or kikes which is literally what the entire publishing industry is now?Gay thread, OP is a faggot.
If you start reading they'll call you performative. If they find out what you're reading they'll call you racist/sexist/antisemitic. There's no winning with these people if you care even a modicum. It literally doesn't make sense to care, if you're still for some reason doing that in 2026.
They should read more manly material and less self help shit hoping it'll teach them how to get pussy.
>>537444118They think we're one dogshit minority representative media piece away from stopping niggers killing women and stealing.They won't stop until it's true, even if that means 100 years of gay black female Spider Man.The funniest part of the thread is the illiterates shilling the Bible when Christ said submit to evil, turn the other cheek, render unto Caesar, and died doing all three.If you submit to nothing then you will be held in contempt like the man who buried his gold. You will not be saved.
>>537444071Where is the appeal when it can all be done online publicly with a bigger audience, enhancing the debate as a result? My point is that it's all moved on, the people of old who were writing books back and forth debating would just be posting on the internet now instead, not wasting time with one sided book reading that no longer has the reach or the ability to inspire as much debate.Probably worth summing up your thoughts in a single book before you die but otherwise internet debate is where it's at.
>>537433789>>537439330Probably the Roman Jew Flavius Josephus, his second book "Against Apion". Josephus is trying to prove the antiquity of the Jews and to demonstrate that their culture and traditions are equal than the Greeks'.There is a passage where he quotes the Egyptian historian Manethon who tells the story of Jews being the descendants of Hyksos invaders of possible Arab pastoralist descent. Josephus seems to agree and postulates that Hyksos can mean "Captive" or "Shepherd", but originally shepherd, due to similar sounding words.One can think that the Jews being "Captives" in Egypt means in fact they were Hyksos invaders. Josephus cites the plague story but refutates it later iirc. That story came from the Greek Hecateus before Manethon.
>>537426746>Never read the Art of WarNGMI

>>537444360If Aristotle were posting online, that might be the case. Alas, you're not usually replying to someone of Aristotle's caliber online.
I have pussy. Is it masculinize to watch porns and gooning?
>>537444334The media has completely lost their credibility. You can add books to the long list of things like movies, video games, television, fashion, etc that have been kiked beyond repair. Men and free thinking people have completely left the plantation after the Coof and the kikery turning the US in a vassal state is so blatant. All of their shit is now toxic and repulsive.They will never be able to repair the shattered trust of Western men. I assume everything now that comes from them is pure evil and I know most other still functioning men do as well.The little leftist nigger men faggots that they've cultivated in their blue utopias will all die out in a generation.
>>537426746women are retarded
I read all eight Dungeon Crawler Carls last month.This probably means I'm sophisticated.
>>537444575If you have a woman it's masculine to let her walk all over you while you have to watch porn because she no longer respects you enough to have sex with you. It's just how it's meant to be goy.
when women read its slop. they dont read Progress and Poverty: An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy by Henry George, they read what social media and ads tell them to read.
>>537444537Hindsight is 20/20. The modern Aristotle's are posting online. I would say some of the best philosophical debate of our times happens on this board, but that's only because speech is restricted far too much elsewhere. As is the way it's only when looking back in the future that people will actually recognise it and appreciate it.
>>537443898>I think you are blackWhat, the flag didn't clue you in?
>>537426746Reading's an imoortant part of the process, but I find it so dull. Even fiction stories that I like, I do not particularly enjoy the act of reading.
>>537428471something as short as The Time Machine is quite verbose. as esl, its surprising at first but in there lies the fun.
>>537444580>Books have been kikedThe always were. Livingston was please like and subscribe to the London missionary society. Kipling was send your sons to niggerlands. What has happened in the last 50 years is jews are pitching at niggers and women and don't bother with psyops needing to fool the upper layers. That was clear around September 2001
>>537433946many were still illiterate during those times, so youre wrong.
>>537444580What's really funny is tabula rasa liberals presuppose that sub 100iq africans can comprehend allegorical stories and that cultural media programing works on them.Enshitification could have been recognised as futile from the get go.
>>537444725To be fair, once in a while you do find some very good stuff on this board. But you have to don a hazmat suit and wade through a lot of toxic sludge to find a few nuggets of gold.
>>537444725Our world order was designed by Fabians, round tablers and secular humanists during the ages of discovery. Their theses, untested at the time, did not survive the great experiment. It's a crime to point this out; but everybody knows. And yet we have pseuds itt reading hg wells unironically
>>537445107It wouldn't be gold if you didn't have to sieve through tons of shit to find it. Regardless, most posts, even the shit ones, like mine, contain little flakes of gold, and you can combine them all together in your own head to produce your own nuggets. Kek.
>>537426746>Entire video is just a bunch of ugly, middle aged mental weaklings going "the books you read are problematic and your opinions are harmful, you need to do better." >No books actually discussed by these fucking faggots, some mentioned, but never discussed Good Lord, this Tiktok shit is fucking gay
>>537426746>i have studied this phenomenon for a whileno you haven't, baiting
>>537428227i only read online due to it having books digitized from around the world, including my country.Google (old version) was (is not anymore) stellar in finding niche information, that went unnoticed. The things "we" know after all are but a small part of things known but the part most disseminated.
Sure, bookworms at a young age might soak up Marx and Lenin if that's whats made available. Yet any triple digit IQ holder can leverage that skill to read third position material and adjust accordingly. To discourage male literacy in an age almost everything worth reading out of copyright and a quick PDF download away smacks of muttmerican anti-intellectualism. Then one wonders why 150 million people tuned into bread and circuses on the white house lawn. What a timeline.
>>537426939We're reading this thread. It's a form of communication, there's nothing special about it in book form, you're reading what someone else wrote, wow, and most books are a lot of filler and added verbosity with little substance.
