stick to video games

alternatively read The Worm Ouroboros

>The Worm Ouroboros is a heroic high fantasy novel by English writer Eric Rücker Eddison, first published in 1922. The book describes the protracted war between the domineering King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland in an imaginary world that appears mainly medieval and partly reminiscent of Norse sagas. The work is slightly related to Eddison's later Zimiamvian Trilogy, and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the Zimiamvian series.

no book ever written is masculine, writing is inherently feminine

>>11598061
Hemingway was one larping repressed faggot who you'll probably love.

>>11598080

>>11598088

>no thanks bro I don't really agree with the gays. Nothing personnel I just think they're bad for the economy
gays are literally alpha consumers, why do you think companies embrace them so? Gays don't have to worry about saving for their children's futures, they're shooting dead loads into dead asses

Storm of Steel is like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in ww1, except it is all true. The dude lacked any empathy whatsoever and just shot/stabbed his way through all four years of the war. The chapter called the "Great Battle" is very intense and describes how the soldiers going over the top were basically hysterical - laughing and joking while killing each other

>>11598088
>this seems like it could be true
of course it's true you faggot, you're being a woman right now by writing on the internet for narcissistic validation instead of pummeling your fellow apes into submission or letting them know they will be if they step up and thereby creating the same effect

we are all ethereal vaginas in this moment as we spout words into an abstracted plane to be penetrated by the dick of seeing

American Psycho will scratch that itch.
Also books like More Money Than God and Hedge Fund Market Wizards that talk about the history of hedge funds are great for that imo.

Steve Jobs and The Everything Store

>gays are literally alpha consumers, why do you think companies embrace them so? Gays don't have to worry about saving for their children's futures, they're shooting dead loads into dead asses

They can only consume as far as they have money, fags are not wealthy people or good customers for most of these companies. There are motivations at work here, for one this form identity politics has given various political clicks a lot of power.

For example, AIDS/HIV is the most research funded of any disease or syndrome yet there is far more profit to be gained from research into heart disease or the other top killers. Profit is simply not the main motive, and thinking this is how people delude themselves about politics and motivation

The Wild Boys

Read the Illiad and the Odyssey.

It depicts scenes of strong determined warriors through agonizing journeys, dwarf fortress tier gory descriptions of brain matter splattering onto the dust from sharp rocks being thrown, revenge and hatred, forcing women etc. There's too much to list. They're not memes, go read them.

>>11601115

What the fuck am I looking at

"“Truthfully, in this age those with intellect have no courage and those with some modicum of physical courage have no intellect. If things are to alter during the next fifty years then we must re-embrace Byron's ideal: the cultured thug.

The true alpha male is the cultured thug, learning about history, culture and philosophy is the most masculine thing anyone can do.

"Bloody action and graphic details about kinky sex" is the thug part of being an alpha but you need more then just that.
