Brave New World is a must, user. It (worryingly) describes modern society quite well. It describes a dystopian society where people are controlled by pleasure rather than pain.

READ SIEGE BY JAMES MASON
UNABOMBER MANIFESTO BY TED

david duke - my awakening
free audiobook on archive.org
get the mp3s with the music starting each chapter (there's a few old editions flying around)

I liked that book's criticisms, but I didn't like its solutions.

I agree. BNW was a real shocker for me, and I read it in the 90s. It has haunted me more and more as time goes on.

Lots of good stuff at SolarGeneral.com

On Pain - Ernst Junger

I'm amazed the Nazis haven't latched onto the John Galt meme.

Libertarians know that big oligarchies will never make life better.

White men support the world.
We are Atlas.
Why not convince Atlas to shrug?
It would take a large number doing it all at once, otherwise it would fail.

Storm of Steel is a must read for all Jow Forumsacks. All men in all actuality.

48 Laws of Power is great. It has definitely helped me to improve my social game, sharpening the tools to say so.

It shouldn't be very surprising because Objectivism is at it's core a liberal and very Anglo-American ideology. It does not resonate with the German spirit, which is socialist by nature. I recommend reading "Prussianism and Socialism" by Oswald Spengler which deals with this very subject.
Spengler argues that due to the English and white Americans being the descendants of adventurers who left their native lands for conquest of a new combined with their relatively insular habitats with no considerable foes has made them liberally minded and cherish individual freedom above all. The Prussian on the other hand lived on a continent with potent enemies as his neighbours, his own lands lacking any natural defences, leaving him to completely rely on the strength of his army and the proper organisation of the state. The Anglo-American views the state as a hindrance to his own endeavours, a necessary evil, whereas the Prussian views the state as the basis of his own existence.

Some quotes:

>Service—that is the style of Old Prussia, similar to that of Old Spain, which also created a people by engaging in knightly warfare against the heathen. Not "I" but "we"—a feeling of community to which every individual sacrifices his whole being. The individual does not matter; he must offer himself to the totality. All exist for all, and all partake of that glorious inner freedom, the libertas oboe dientiae which has always distinguished the best exemplars of Prussian breeding.

>The urge to individuality and independence, however, later drove many of those with Viking blood in their veins—Englishmen, Germans, and Scandinavians—to seek their fortunes on the American prairie. This adventure was, in effect, a late resumption of the expeditions from Greenland at the time of the Eddas, when Vikings touched the Canadian coast: a tremendous migration of Teutons filled with a longing for distance and limitless expanses, teams of adventurers who were to lay the groundwork for yet another people with Saxon characteristics.

>Such was the origin of the English and Prussian types. The difference between them is that between a people whose soul has developed out of an awareness of insular security, and one that has been forced to maintain a frontier without natural borders to protect it from its enemies. In England, "splendid isolation" replaced the organized state. A stateless nation was only possible under those conditions; isolation was the necessary ingredient in the development of the spirit of modern England, a spirit that first gained full confidence in the seventeenth century, when the English became the undisputed masters of their island. It is a case of creative topography: the English people shaped and formed itself, while the Prussian people was shaped in the eighteenth century by the Hohenzollern, who brought with them the frontier experience of southern Central Europe, and who had thus become advocates of the organized state.

Atlas shrugging is a good enough idea, but (((Ayn Rand's))) utopia isn't anything I support at all.

You forgot Utah and Idaho. There was a pretty big migration to there from England in the mid 19th century.

Death of the West was an amazing read.

That's what I'm reading right now.

The first 3 Dune books are great.

It is boring as fuck, overhyped Jew shit. Like most American literature. Except Mark Twain maybe.

I liked Steinbeck. My favorite is Tortilla Flats.

Read all the "woke" books, but at the end you will be miserable if you not act on it. Getting your own land, weapons training, not working for "them", all that stuff.
You end up still being a wage cuck thats drinks too much and hates the world
If the reading isn't followed up with action, its dangerous knowledge

Roadside Picnic made me think harder about life than anything Hobbes, Spengler or Nietzsche wrote.

Also the Glass Marble Game.

>that huxley, not orwell, was right
Bluepilled, they both were right.

Hagakure / Hidden Leaves by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
There are many translations, but I prefer the one William Scott Wilson. Alexander Bennett has a good translation too.
The book is a bit schizophrenic, but it covers a wide variety of topics and commentary from government, family/relationships, combat, war, honor, loyalty, bravery, as well as various second hand stories/wives tales that Yamamoto Tsunetomo heard throughout his life during the mid-Edo period.

It's trash

>criticise Russian Jew book
>still can't contain his anti American hate boner

This is why germans on Jow Forums are unwelcome

Great book. The part about powdered rouge in your sleeve when you're hungover was a fun read. Also, the samurai who shove a book in his ribcage.

Read Oswald Spengler and Nietzsche

Good book
