Am i the only person that will refuse to read a book that has more than 50,000 search results hits and more than 1000 cumulative youtube views? Trying to read Strawson's bounds of sense but has too many results for my liking.

Into the trash it goes

The peak of European power and dominance over the planet was in the middle of the 19th century. The recession from this peak was due to internal -rather than external- forces, although I'd submit that these were not inevitable. This period saw the rise of social organizations which -satisfied with conquering the planet- saw the next project to perfect the morality of their nations, eventually leading to civil rights and independence movements.

The mistaken ideal of moral perfection has led to multiculturalism and massive economic opportunity loses: the slippery slope has proven all too real as voting rights have led to a creep towards all manner of dubious rights (E.G. being called by a preferred pronoun.) From a cultural perspective, not every country is equal, and technological advances allowed Europe to dominate the world, before morality encouraged to give up their holdings.

A central dogma of Conservatism is that society and the individual should be moral, but the most dominant empires at their peak, throughout history were far from moral... and it is this contradiction which I consider to be the blindspot which will doom efforts towards the preservation of White European culture. Society doesn't fall apart because it lacks a defined morality, but because it dogmatically clings to ideals which no longer apply to its current situation.

The argument against a White identity is political correctness, although this is not politically motivated, at all, but moral. The solution to this isn't liberalism, conservatism or libertarianism, but in a pragmatic version of libertinism (De Sade failed to resolve the contradiction where the goals of numerous libertines would clash- there have to be winners and losers.)

There are different subgroups within realism to which he belongs. I won't tell you the answer though, you're gonna have to do some research about what those are, and then try and find which one fits Fyodor the best.

Knowledge is power, fool. Why else might one read all of these philosophy books anyway.

I fluctuate between apolitical asceticism and millenarian fascism, with a sprinkling of boundless charity.

That's weirdly interesting. Some kind of paperback hippie bildungsroman fiction? The authors would be even more lost in history than musicians of this genre. Maybe read some articles on Pynchon's influences, he probably read a lot of pulp.
