What is the dumbest book you've ever read, /lit/? A book so stupid that you actually said, "That's retarded" as you were reading it?

Some of the presocratics where 99% of what they wrote were retarded bullshit to explain how the physical world works. It's was imaginative for the time but every one of them had to have their own special theory about how everything is REALLY made out of only milk and custard, and it's due to a revolving slope that we have days and nights.

>Rightoids are meant to be anti capitalist too.
Rightoids are anti-capitalist as a supreme governing principle, not against capitalism's very existence (private property, etc.) Aristotle is one of the foremost "right wing" (not doing him justice with this term obviously) philosophers and he fully approved of slavery as an ethical and requisite institution for an ideal system of human organization.

And yes I've read it, I understood it very well and it's retarded. Capital is somewhat better but not by much.
