This is a great book. Love it.

a bit surprised by one of those

Oh boy I'm sure this will be a civil thread with 0 shitposting and flaming.

>>18425606
Not terrible

>>18425606
Where are you getting this from? I've never heard Nick mention Nietzsche.

>>18425606
>>18425606
Decent list but then why is he so insufferable and tradcath larping? With nothing innovative to say, he's not the kind of artistic spirit that's deserving of Nietzsche.

>>18425639
I've gamed with him before. He has read Nietzsche brother

I doubt he read even half of them

>>18425639
He doesn't think his followers should be reading him because he thinks most people should be illiterate, but before he made this decision he would recommend people read him. This is from 2017:

why do people hate nicholas, he is a very sweet boy. an innocent and funny man who'd never lead anyone down a bad path. he's a good egg. seems TWISTED to hate him

>>18425606
souless list, needs more fiction/poetry

Why is this person larping as a boomer news anchor? Those people only read teleprompters. Why would anyone care what they recommend?

>>18425718
He's the midwit. He simply went by title. Decline of the West has nothing to do with his meme ideology.

>>18425762
He's an actual threat to the system and the people who control it. There's a particular group of influential people that you cannot openly insult.

>>18425773
Why is he doing something that earns him several hundred dollars every day for three hours of work?

>>18425639
https://youtu.be/YYsAURUcp7Y

>>18425776
There are no threats to the system. People like this are participants in the process by which the system responds to pressure and assesses whether it needs to respond. Guy pretending to be a boomer (dying demographic) is completely harmless.

>>18425806
I dont get the point for you of fatly rolling into threads and commenting on things you barely comprehend

>>18425787
Would not be the least bit surprised if he's only read maybe three or four books since leaving school and made a list based on what his audience likes/recommends, to better endear him to his donors

>>18425722
Lol

I wonder why this thread was made

>>18425814
People read Buchanan and Huntington in the 90s and that didn't lead to some conservative reversal of US culture/politics. Tell me what I don't understand oh wise political scientist

>>18425829
>Tell me what I don't understand oh wise political scientist
The last 25 years apparently

>>18425818
That would surprise me because he's pretty conversant in a variety of worldviews and analyses you'd only absorb by actually reading this stuff

They haven't frozen his assets, banned him from banking, banned him from almost all mainstream platforms, and banned him from flying because he's just a harmless Ben Shapiro clone.

>>18425606
Why are murricans so obsessed with "The West" when the United States have been the main agents of worldwide cultural degeneration in the last 100+ years?

>>18425888
did you miss the part where they are ramming through CA style election reform in the House right now? Things are objectively worse since the 90s, and we haven't even had a different generation in power yet. Boomers are still conducting this doom train full speed ahead.
waste of trips

I don't care for larpers

>>18425961
You know Spengler didn't just say bad things about the US you know?

>>18425961
Delusions. You're correct btw, their insane ideologies are what's contaminating not only the West but the world. People in my country now caree about trannies when just 5 years ago no one gave a shit. They all this ideological nonsense from twitter.

>>18425962
>Things are objectively worse since the 90s, and we haven't even had a different generation in power yet. Boomers are still conducting this doom train full speed ahead.
Right it's literally too late for paleoconservatism. It doesn't even make sense to talk about it from a non-historical perspective. The tail end of that was Paul Gottfried's stuff (which didn't make this list anyway). So read the 90s' books all you want, learn about how the system defused that by having the Clintons come in with a third party libertarian to split the right wing vote (this is going to happen again soon by the way). Things will keep moving left. We talk about equity now instead of equality. So to my original point, these books are not some edgy threat to anything just by reading them; they've been read for years.

Literally no one cares about this dumb zoomer spicnigger.

>>18426028
right, everything will be the same forever, there is no alternative, we didn't just have a reality TV host as president for 4 years

>>18426033
Just saying things you wish were true doesnt make them true

>>18425606
>The Decline of the West
If he had read this book it would not be on this list.

>>18425775
Not to mention the sheer bizarreness of Christianity and Evola on the same list.

>>18426221
Why is that bizarre?

>>18426224
Have you read Evola?

>>18426233
Do you think people pick one intellectual tradition at like age 13 and then exclusively read from within that and never find anything of value outside it?

why does everyone call him a larping Tradcath when he was raised Catholic and says he's just a normal Catholic.. wtf even is a tradcath

>>18426233
Yes, why is that bizarre?

>>18426193
That was pretty funny. But he is going to be imprisoned on criminal charges if the state of New York gets its way. And if you don't think corrections were made during those four years to prevent four more years, you weren't paying attention. The system actually reichstagged him to make sure he had to leave office and be deplatformed.

>>18426239
As far as I can tell, "tradcath" refers to someone who "discovers" traditional Catholicism and gets really into it, but you can tell their interest is superficial and mostly a compensatory mechanism for having no deeply-held values of their own. They will be super-into being "Catholic" for maybe 6-8 months and then lose interest and move on to something else and do the same thing with it. As you say it doesn't really apply to Nick Fuentes since as far as I can tell he's just a Catholic who takes his religion seriously. However there's a certain other type of anon who overuses terms like "tradcath" as a blanket insult directed at anyone who has beliefs of any sort. Again, it's a sort of compensatory mechanism for people who have no values of their own and feel empty, but don't know what to do about it. So, they go around denigrating anyone who does have beliefs in order to make themselves feel better about staring at porn all day and masturbating.

>>18425762
I don't hate him. I think he's funny, and I'm glad that he's helping to shift the Overton window a bit. I just don't think he reads books lol. He's a pundit, not a public intellectual. Besides, where would he get the time, given his career?

Maybe he's read a few. I think Nick is intelligent, and I've met him before IRL. But he certainly hasn't read that list. It isn't reflected in his shows, his speeches, his writings, etc. They're /litpol/ memes that he listed as virtue-signaling.

>>18426239
1) all religions are larp
2) zoomer obviously searching for meaning has a sudden discovery which only changes his outward appearances

>>18426360
>Maybe he's read a few. I think Nick is intelligent, and I've met him before IRL. But he certainly hasn't read that list. It isn't reflected in his shows, his speeches, his writings, etc. They're /litpol/ memes that he listed as virtue-signaling.
How is it not "reflected" in his show?

He mentions books and writers sometimes, but that's not the point of the show, and as he's said himself people just want to see someone being funny and talking about the news.

>>18425659
>He doesn't think his followers should be reading him because he thinks most people should be illiterate
Based.

>>18425606
A bit puerile, but at least he reads.

>>18426777
Weeeeellll I reckon it's time we had ourselves a book breaking. All them words just get you into trouble. Don't suppose whoever learned you to read thought that through. Now get on over to the book barn and we'll take care of you.

Does this guy fuck?

He doesn't read. The list is optics.

>>18426896
but does he fuck? it's all that matters to me personally.

>>18426823
no massa ;_;
I CAN'T REEEEEEEEEAAAAADD

>>18426877
Yes.

>>18425775
he has quoted all of the books on this list multiple times
reading a book is not some heroic feat

there are criticisms to be made of him, but most people in this thread aren't smart enough to make them

>>18426931
then i believe the words coming out of his mouth

>>18426627
You think a Christian ethnic nationalist sincerely recommends the Nietzsche, the most virulent anti-Christian in centuries? The guy who thought German nationalists were comfy bourgeois "herd animals"?

>>18426940
>he has quoted all of the books on this list multiple times
I don't believe you. You seem like a Spick Fuentes Ambassador, so be a little more convincing and tell us what books in what videos with timestamps.

>>18426967
Maybe he's the cool type of Christian. Like that reverend that likes Sabbath and Priest.

>>18426967
Yes, if you weren't a brainlet you'd understand how an intelligent person can appreciate Nietzsche. Judging from what you've said, you have an extremely surface level understanding of Nietzsche.

>>18426976
>Maybe he's the cool type of Christian.
Exactly. It's retarded optics, nothing else.

>>18426972
you're worse than the most cringeworthy 'state' groyper account on twitter
go stare into the sun

>>18426967
I think people should read Savitri Devi but that doesn't mean I'm an esoteric Hitlerist. It really must be a high IQ trait to be able to enjoy ideas and people you don't agree with.

>>18426979
Such empty statements from a purported arbiter of intelligence. Where are Fuentes's critiques of Nietzsche?
>>18426989
In other words, I am correct to not believe you.

>>18426979
>Judging from what you've said, you have an extremely surface level understanding of Nietzsche.
Yeah bro if you just *think* hard enough you'll realize that Nietzsche's ideas are totally compatible with the ideology he relentlessly called digusting and life-denying, you just have a "surface level understanding."

>>18427005
Stop deluding yourself you agree with it.

>>18427012
>Fuentes's critiques of Nietzsche
Why would he bring high philosophical critiques into his show? Besides, he's not reading Nietzsche to critique him, he's reading him because he likes him.

>>18427005
It's not a book he said "people should read." He said it was his single favorite book. I would love to hear him explain what he likes about Zarathustra.

>>18427034
You don't know why he likes it, therefore he's just pretending. You're a reasonable chap. I've seen Bishop Barron talk about how much likes reading Nietzsche too. This is not something that's unfeasible unless you have some weird bias. It's kind of a meme among the left that people on the right don't read and I've experienced this first hand. They might act impressed with my Goodreads until I tell them my politics and then suddenly I couldn't possibly be so widely read. This is stupid.

Does anyone have the video of him calling Heidegger a genius?

>>18427146
I have a video of Heidegger calling Fuentes a genius.

>>18426278
Progressivism is going to die as the system transforms but this will be due to vast secular forces and not some specific political movement.

anyway Nick is a good polemicist and high-energy speaker but he is very young and I don't see that he has the skills or resources or knowledge to actually subvert the power structure. He's just a streamer and aside from Jan 6 he probably has not even come onto the radar of the real power elites

>>18427093
Consider the difference between the questions of whether it is believable that, on the one hand, an adult priest who publicly discusses philosophy reads Nietzsche and has substantive takeways versus, on the other hand, whether it is believable that a teenage eceleb who's popular for memes and dunking on fucking Ben Shapiro does the same.

>>18427028
>Why would he bring high philosophical critiques into his show?
It's none of my concern how he publishes his critiques, only that he makes them. If I'm supposed to believe he likes a book, I want to know why.
> Besides, he's not reading Nietzsche to critique him, he's reading him because he likes him.
How else are you to read a philosophical work? Either you think about what you're reading while you read it or you clap like a retard and say "pretty words me likey".

>>18427178
It's not unbelievable to me, at all. I think there's something wrong with you.

>>18425687
its not the real one

>>18427199
On the contrary, I think you have to be remarkably naive to take these internet/media "personalities" at face value, as if they are a real acquaintance just sharing their views with you.

>>18427146
I have a video of Heidnigger having a good o'l buck breaking.

>>18426931
looks a lot better there

>>18427222
Reading books is not hard and there's nothing to gain among by claiming to like Nietzsche when you really don't. I'm already bored with this.

>>18427255
I suppose we're at an impasse if you think online personalities pushing a brand have "nothing to gain" through pretense. I don't know how to convince you of this fact other than to tell you to look at their behavior in general--everything they do is image/narrative conscious.

>>18427302
Yeah, we're at an "impasse" like we're having a formal debate. You're such a faggot.

>>18427302
you view something as simple as reading a book as an impossibly erudite task
you are probably a reasonably educated, but unintelligent individual

>>18425606
it's a very generic list of common books you'd see mentioned on the dissident right.
I don't think he has a single intelligent opinion on any of those and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't really read them at all.

>>18427028
never post on /lit/ again. you're subhuman garbage.

>>18427376
>you view something as simple as reading a book as an impossibly erudite task
No one in this thread thinks that, except, maybe, the people who think Fuentes is smart.
What the skeptical reasonably expect is an inkling of evidence that he has engaged with these works.

>>18425606
Source on this list?

>>18425648
One does not read Nietzsche and "game". Retard.

terrible

all those le decay of civilization metanarratives are just red herrings and a complete waste of time

>>18426627
Have you ever heard Nick talk about the differences between Magian, Apollonian, and Faustian civilizations? Even in paraphrased and analogous ways? No. Fuentes chose books like Decline of the West because they give off the impression that Fuentes believes that the west is heading to ruin (even if he doesn't apply the argumentation that those books used).

I think it's possible that he read a couple books. Probably Death of the West and Clash of Civilizations. But that's about it.

And if this is supposed to be a list of books that he genuinely appreciates, values, etc., then I'm surprised the Bible isn't on it. Big oversight IMO. Something only a pseud commentator would make.

>>18427616
I have heard him talk about those things.

>>18427631
I'm also heard of him talk about that. He also talks about Hobbes, Locke, and Nietzsche a lot

>>18427631
As has been noted earlier, paleoconservatism is dead on arrival (last seen breathing around 9/11), and because of this total irrelevance to contemporary politics, there is no way to distinguish authenticity from performance in this genre of punditry. All this person can be said to have accomplished for certain is to attract a paying niche audience who he would be unknown to if not for the ability of the internet to connect and shape subcultures. That he can quote the chapter headings of muh decline really proves nothing. I could also fire up wikipedia and make a YouTube account and pretend to follow a dead political program. Enjoy your weekend at bernies.

>>18427741
Even assuming we've hit the tip of an iceberg of republican congressmen who "support" him, that doesn't do very much to resuscitate paleoconservatism, which will be structurally excluded from influence when 2030s Republicans in are either reduced to Ohio and Appalachia or running as 2010s Democrats. And to a much earlier point in the thread, if the system tolerates it, it's not threatening.

>>18428019
i guess im saying that if fuentes's character isnt held to a nietzschean standard, it doesnt matter whether he recommends him or not, hes a fake

>>18425606
LMAO there is no way spic fuentes reads evola and neetchuh. post source or fuck off.

Stop pretending you can read, Nick

>>18428031
>noooo I'm special because I read the two most basic bitch writers of the right nooooooo!!
He has read Evola on his streams before, and has regularly said his favourite book is Zarathustra, making numerous allusions to it throughout the years.

>>18428140
ebola is hardly read outside of /lit/ fags and neetchuh is not right wing. also you didnt give even a single sauce so fuck off.

I too used to care about political internet personalities until I turned 20

>>18428140
nietzsche isnt right wing. also somebody only talking about zarathustra and even then only making "allusions" to it is a huge red flag for being a pseud. i honestly think he just likes the aesthetic of being well-read in these works.

ljl @ all these seething littards who resent the chad streamer personality for having partaken of their hobby despite succeeding beyond them in his own field,

>>18428204
>fuentes
>successful
hes a shameless grifter, if you call that success

i bet he hasnt even READ nietxhe and spangler and heidegger, cries the failson neet for whom reading said names is his only accomplishment in life, one he jealously guards against perceived entryists, fucking loser that he is

>>18428211
yeah that is success

>>18428153
>>18428163
Evola is a very well known thinker, most people who know about him don't agree with him, but you're giving 4chan too much credit to say it dominates his readership.

Nietzsche is undoubtedly a figure of the Right, I never said he was literally right wing, just that he is considered essential by most to understand the spiritual roots of being right wing.

You're both retarded and can't stand the fact that someone reads one of the most famous books ever written.

>he's said repeatedly it's his favourite book and has recognised quotes from the book when randomly superchatted to him? No he's just faking it to make everyone think he's read it!
>and even if it's true I need an exact video sauce now!
You're hopeless.

>>18428256
then i am btfo. god knows he snake oils more money than me

>>18425754
This is actually number one, can't believe he missed it

>>18428211
>>18428261
How is he a grifter/snake oil salesman? He's literally just an online news presenter.

>>18428204
these guys don't know that he used to upload book analyses and other more sophisticated content
he had one video where he presented a teleological argument against marijuana usage

>>18428211
he's a millionaire and has hundreds of people who will show up to his events, so I would say he's successful

>>18428260
nietzsche is indeed a figure of the right. but the right strongly misreads him. if fuentes's understanding of nietzsche is right wing, that doesnt say much. right wing people read nietzsche because theyre right wing. theyre not right wing because they read nietzsche.
>nietzsche is essential to understand the spiritual roots of being right wing
hes rolling in his grave, doubly so because you dont understand why this sounds so ridiculous. maybe let me know what about nietzsche is so important to the right? then ill give you my take.

>>18428260
>considered essential by most
Who is this majority that considers Friedrich I-Fucking-Hate-Germans Nietzsche to be essential "right-wing" reading?
>the spiritual roots of being right wing
Gibberish cope with political impotence

>>18428270
all ecelebs are grifters, and fuentes has nothing of value to say. he just repackages news in a nice, mostly aesthetic political shrink wrap, and people gobble it up

>>18425639
He famously defended being a Catholic and reading Nietzsche by saying "What, can't I read two books?"

>>18428260
also, nietzsche and evola are pretty opposed. it takes a fair bit of effort to reconcile them, the only way that comes to my mind would be to not take evola at face value in his esotericism and spiritual/religious beliefs, which are very critical to his thought. if evola is a prophet in the same sense that nietzsche is a "prophet", hes simply a dollar store nietzsche that doesnt go nearly as far or as radical as nietzsche in his philosophy. if his spiritual insights are supposed to make him a prophet in a non-nietzschean, genuinely religious way, then he has nothing in common with nietzsche except for a respect for similar value structures (e.g. ancient hinduism or something)

>>18428279
Who says Fuentes' understanding of Nietzsche is "right wing"? Naturally any real understanding of him will be more subtle than that, but what is a truly retarded understanding of Nietzsche is to say he isn't more "right wing" (emphasis on the quotation marks) than "left wing", any kind of spiritual background to being right wing, whenever that term takes on a more eternal sense, for the most part can be found in Nietzsche. The emphasis on hierarchy, power, individualism, aristocratism, and Antiquity, of which the latter was interpreted by much of the 20th century as defining an ultratraditionalism, radically traditional as in prior to Christian morals;--it is a going back after all,-- and may be a brash terming, is not entirely wrong.

>Nietzsche is rolling in his grave
Yet, it seems you are the dogmatic who cannot understand the subtleties of Nietzsche's thought. You think Nietzsche is universally against all individuals who have conservative and antisemitic beliefs, you think wrong.

>>18428310
>it takes a fair bit of effort to reconcile them,
No it doesnt lol you literally just read both of them and then your brain absorbs the shit you like from each it's not hard

>>18428310
Do you not understand the complexities of valuing two different books? You're already presupposing the exact (and apparently only) response in your mind.

Why are you so distrusting of this man liking these books?

>>18425606
test

>>18428340
look, i just dont think fuentes reflects a serious engagement with nietzsche. anyone can read nietzsche how they like, but the problem i see with a lot of right wing readings is that they confuse the new nietzschean superman with the old prechristian 'lions' of antiquity. but no, you can be right wing and like nietzsche. i just dont think somebody who really likes nietzsche would like to be part of anything labelled right wing OR left wing. and fuentes is strongly aligned with the right.
>>18428356
>>18428366
evola and nietzsche just happen to be big memes for the right, what im pointing out is that they always appear next to each other as if they have a similar core. hating modernity but in a non-economic (non-marxist) way. i feel like the right aestheticizes nietzsche too much and doesnt critically engage with him enough. i just think the right's nietzsche is very neutered and tame compared to how powerful his ideas really are. nietzsche eclipses ideology. but by all means, be right wing and like nietzsche. i was right wing and liked nietzsche. i still like nietzsche and am no longer right wing.

>>18428340
>>18428401
to add, nietzsche's idea of 'power' is very different from the right's idea of 'power,' where for nietzsche power is will and its expression and for the right power is contained in already-existing ideological value categories. nietzsches power is creative, original, destructive of systems, and irreducible to ideology or category. he values artistocratism and antiquity for (apparent) different reasons than the right, which sees aristocratism as having inherent value and antiquity as being *ideologically* superior to modernity. nietzsche isnt arguing we should return to antiquity, i think for him thats impossible.

>>18426931

are you sure about that?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thtzc0pZI88

>>18428431
this doesnt sound like nietzsche at all. this is again mistaking the superman for the lion. hes opposing the (nietzchean) ideas of two opposing value systems, the christian/semetic vs. the prechristian/presemetic. but nietzsche adamantly does not approve one over the other, he only understands them. his vision for the future is wholly, radically new and different.
>appealing to morality
no one who genuinely likes nietzsche thinks the problem is that we have the 'wrong' morals.
again and again, the right thinks that nietzsche values the inverse of the christian value system, which is a common mistake but deeply wrong.

>>18427360

Must have been an incredibly boring show then, for the most part. Most of it is a dry analysis of the last few hundred years of Western philosophy.

>>18428799
He quotes Notes from the Underground in the same video, it's pretty obvious to see how one can use these two books to talk about modern society.

>>18428908
Boomers watch boomernews. Zoomers have Fuentes. Millenials listen to Cumtown and Chapo. Nothing new under the sun

>>18428908
Because those are more reliable than mainstream news.

>>18428928
What possible first hand knowledge could 17 year old high school student Nick Fuentes have had for you? . Every one of these zoomer "politics" channels is some manchild or literal child giving his opinion on a wikipedia article they read or youtube video they watched, which they pass off as deep research because the mental illness parade that is your generation cannot tell the difference.

>>18425606

Here's a picture of him on Jan 6

>>18428954
First of all he's 22 and your brain is stuck in 2016. Second of all yes, human being interpret events and exchange their interpretations with each other, and some people are more successful at doing this than others.

>>18428977
>First of all he's 22 and your brain is stuck in 2016.
He started his program when he was 17. He was explaining to you how the media *really* worked, and who *really* controlled the world, based on all the great knowledge he had acquired as a child.

>>18428985
That's nice but it's time for you to join this conversation we are having in 2021 where Nick Fuentes is 22 years old.

>>18428977
"Interpreting events" is a very charitable description of reading 4chan and reddit

>>18428977
>some people are more successful at doing this than others.
Right like people behind CNN or MSNBC. So you should go for the strong horse and not waste any more time on less successful zoomzooms

>>18428989
Nah, not really.

>>18428995
Uh yeah, there are people who watch those networks. Thank you for admitting you understand that human beings enjoy watching pundits analyze news events.

>>18425606
There seems to be a theme

Guys the only thing Nick likes about Nietzsche is the Will to Power shit, and his views on suffering/ life. He thinks N was retarded for being an materialist improover.

>>18429002
Right so why should I listen to a Rugrats extra quote paleocons?

>>18429031
Now you're going to pretend that you dont understand people listen to pundits they agree with more than ones they dont.
Why bother playing dumb to this degree? People will just assume you actually are retarded.

>>18426345
From what I’ve seen of him Catholicism seems to be an easy way to justify dunking of thots and ‘degeneracy’

>>18429047
Who is playing dumb? Guy dresses up like a boomer and collects money from zoomers who think he's wise? Not really defensible as anything other than a good hustle

>>18429083
The suggestion you were only pretending to be dumb was an easy out for you. I see you dont plan to take it.

>>18425606
>2. The Clash of Civilisations and the Remaking of the World Order by Samuel Huntington
GARBAGE

>>18429083
>dresses up like a boomer
He wears a suit. How should he dress instead? Sweatpants and a hoodie? Snapback?

>>18429076
Yes it's all pokemon battles with these political commentator types. Catholicism deals double damage to divorce rates but is weak against television.

>>18428204
>t. 16 year old loser

>>18428819
I'd like to see the video.

What’s this kid’s endgame? He’s a 21 year old college dropout who broadcasts his very hateful views on minorities, Jews, women, and the LGBTQ+ to a crowd of susceptible teens barely younger than he is. Does he plan on going into politics? All the popular mainstream conservatives like Shapiro and Crowder pretty much hate him too

>>18429095
He's dressed like a news anchor and making a serious face while he talks about, what, the increasingly harebrained schemes possible to stop the United States from becoming politically Californian by the time his balls drop? Hey kids check out Huntington and Buchanan. They're from the nineties!

>>18429123
I'd tell you but you have 90 IQ and wouldn't comprehend it. You also sound like a bad faith, degenerate of a person so yeah. Keep listening to Chapo or whatever it is you fags do.

imagine unironically listening to this edgy zoomer retard
mental illness

>>18429115
Can't find it, it's before he had the current background on his show. You must know this guy makes daily 3 hour long shows and his stuff is constantly deleted from youtube. He took out the book just to read a small quote from it, described it as esoteric literature or something of the sort. If I recall correctly he did so after reading from Notes from Underground.

>>18427574

>>18429151
Yeahhh bro a 17 year old tradcath is gonna stop degeneracy and make women be stay at home moms xdddd

>>18429238
Pat Buchanan used to be on TV we've got a chance paleobros

>>18425606
Great list by a great man

>no Guenon

>>18429247
What tangible impact did he make on this country?

>>18425606
I like me some good reactionary literature but come on, some diversity would be nice.

>>18429290
Ah maybe you're getting the point! Read dead political theories for interest, not for identity

>>18429238
Why are you seething about his age? Do you miss your youth that bad? I thought libtards were supposed to love that simpsons meme about "the kids being wrong" or whatever.

>>18425606
There’s literally a 0% chance that he read all those

>>18425687
Younger Nick was actually very literate. I watched him back in 2017/2018 and he used to talk all the time about that he spent most of his nights reading.
He used to quote Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky back in the day and do actual intellectual shows.

>>18429358
Back then people called nick a boomer, so he was forced to rebrand to appeal to a younger audience.

>>18429304
>Read dead political theories for interest, not for identity
So just mindlessly consoom and don't actually think about or synthesize new information you read into your worldview?

>>18429380
Yeah it was weird to see him not even a year later go on this "fuck books they're useless" tirade.
I don't know if he still believes it but I really liked his old shows where he'd talk about the stuff he was reading.
Can attest to hearing him talk about every book on that list so I guess it's funny seeing that people ITT do not believe he's read them (seeing how Nick acts now I can understand why)

>>18425775
>You can only like books which align with your ideology

>>18429410
Do you honestly think he read the book and isn’t just mentioning it because of the title, you do realize this kid is a basic /pol/tard American right winger

>>18429382
>synthesize new information you read into your worldview
Retrodoomer declinist erotica about what should have happened politically in the 90s to prevent the 20s is not new information

Honest question do you guys think conservativism will work or is it too little too late? I look around my age group and it is just disgusting fat sluts with green hair and piercings who believe in astrology or retarded consoomers obsessed with productivity and just believing whatever they’re told by the media.

>>18429435
Trump was the swan song of conservatism. It’s a dying ideology populated by boomers who will die soon along with American culture in general. You have to be a fucking retard to follow conservative politics or vote republican

Its over

>>18429428
Understanding what went wrong to get us to this point is vital to going forward and fixing those issues. It's the progressives who just charge forward and keep banging their heads against walls by claiming every failure of their ideology is just a result of not being radical enough and not changing society enough.

>>18428286
>all ecelebs are grifters
This shit right here

>>18429452
Who is fixing what? You think you vote your way out of California? You think at some point the curated voting blocs of the electorate will just say "progressivism and its consequences have been a disaster for us as clients of the state, let's vote for paleoconservatives"? Progressivism hasn't failed the managerial class and it hasn't failed their clients. It hasn't even failed you, since your views are one of the pathologies it has been working to eradicate. So there is been a stunning success in that regard. When the funeral boom hits the baby boomers there will no longer be competitive interparty elections, only intraparty, like in California and New York where the die off didn't even need to happen to get there. So find something else to do than shill for this stuff. You are very poorly read if you think old political tracts solve present issues.

>>18425606
i believe the evola one he talked about having a european spirit despite being a spic in a debate with destiny
i was amazed that such stupidity existed until I came here

>>18429488
I don't know why you're trying to argue that voting is the solution since only modern cucked conservative political philosophy has the view that democracy is inviolate. The whole reason you go back is to get the views of ACTUAL conservatives, monarchists who thought democracy was the mistake it's shown itself to be. Then you read the Spanish nationalists to get the solution.

>>18429435
>Honest question do you guys think conservativism will work or is it too little too late?

>>18429502
>The whole reason you go back is to get the views of ACTUAL conservatives, monarchists who thought democracy was the mistake it's shown itself to be. Then you read the Spanish nationalists to get the solution.
Oh so overthrow democracy using colonial troops and install an ironically colonial dictatorship in the metropolis until it can be liberated from within by democratic forces a generation later and a generation after that have your remains removed from their tomb for being a bad person.

>>18425773
Watched a video of his and legit thought it was a half-assed porn parody of OAN/FOX at first

>>18427616
>And if this is supposed to be a list of books that he genuinely appreciates, values, etc., then I'm surprised the Bible isn't on it. Big oversight IMO. Something only a pseud commentator would make.
Was thinking the same thing. At the same time these modern "new radio" ideologists are playing it for the money. Say some edgy stuff, realize people not only like what you say but you can make money off it. Say more edgy stuff and so on to see how far you can take it. He's done will, wouldn't see him stink his neck out, the new generation of Rush Limboughs really

>>18429426
Never heard of him. So I don't know how to answer your question.

>>18429508
Most republicans would personally disagree with same sex marriage but allow it politically because of their often libertarian viewpoints. The fact that they’re constantly losing ground to leftists on moral issues is part of this as well.

>>18429622
because they're all liberals. they're all fucking liberals who believe in human rights, democracy, equality before the law, and individualism. the left is just better at being 21st century liberals than republicans are, as they are mentally stuck in 1988.

>>18429394
He changed. He's definitely compromised too.

>>18425929
Kinda begs the question though, how is he still on Twitter? How do you get put on a no fly list and blacklisted by banks before getting booted from social media, makes no sense

>>18425606
He used to be very /lit/ friendly and came across as wicked smart for his age but they made him shush.

That entire list is Anti-Amuttican political system redpills which starkly conflicts with his bluepilled Amuttican politics E-celeb environment he has to work within, so he learned how to dial it back for his own sake.

I think he's a good guy and a smart guy but after all his efforts in politics he realized he's trapped in the maze like the rest of us and he has veered onto a different course that allows him to stay afloat.

>>18425606
Imagine knowing whom this is and reading anything other than the KJV Holy Bible.

Why watch him over Buchanan

>>18425814
Oh genius of 4chan please bestow us with you pearls of wisdom

Cringe and 2019 is over this guy needs to move one

>>18425606
Okay but how does he contribute to the economy? What skills does he have?

>>18428995
That's because they have a network behind them. Most of them would not have a big presence if they went on their own

>>18429394
He says that because he thinks dumb people or people who only read because a show host told them to is not gaining anything from it.
And he's right. If you have no intrinsic motivation to read heavy books don't do it.

>>18427616
>Have you ever heard Nick talk about the differences between Magian, Apollonian, and Faustian civilizations? Even in paraphrased and analogous ways?
You are a fucking sperg and a half

>>18425606
the fact that most of the posters in here can''t believe a 23 year old man could have read 10 books in his entire life says more about them than Nick desu. Also iirc he's done live readings and referenced these books on his show before so im pretty sure he's actually read them

who the fuck is this spamming shill

nobody gives a shit about your internet personality who's pretending to read

>>18429527
>Just let your nation get cucked by liberalism and globohomo goy
No thanks.

>>18429622
>Why are all the conservative youth becoming paleoconservatives and not libertarians who care about adding more profits to multinational corporations

>>18429686
He's currently banned on twitter, so try again.

>>18425639
Far as I know, according to Fuentes reading is gay. But might be just someone who hates him making stuff up.

>>18425606
I really don't understand why anyone would bother watching political youtube channels/debaters anymore,they all seem like pseuds to me
What is the appeal of Nick anyways,why would I bother spending even an hour watching him?

>>18430984
I’d say he’s pretty funny and based for his age

Is he really gay? I heard he had a boyfriend called catboy.

>>18430984
these types appeal to stupid people

nothing more needs to be said

>>18431226
is that why ur here?

>>18431460
while nicks spic face is unfortunate to look at, I'm glad I don't have to see yours nigger

>>18426794
He's extremely puerile with an obnoxious nasally voice. Hopefully he will still be relevant by the time he grows up.

Traps are gay and OP is a faggot

Fucking hell this takes me back.

Fulton Sheen is fantastic listening and reading.

Nig Fuentes is a disgusting homosexual degenerate. He will burn in the abyss for all eternity.
