What books I can read to deradicalize me? I used to be a socialist and I was deradicalized by watching Destiny and became a liberal but then I became radicalized again by this board when I started reading light conservative works like Scruton, Putnam, and Murray that I felt had a good understanding of the modern world before moving to the heavier stuff like Benoist, Evola, Faye, Bowden and now I'm a radical again but on the other side and I'd like to read something that can deradicalize me back to the center

This was a long time ago when I was uneducated and had just started reading. People underestimate Destiny who is actually a real good debater with a decent enough understanding of economics and philosophy to the point where he can play the pragmatist and breakdown why everything you believe is either wrong or not feasible at all and 99% when they talk to him are incapable of refuting him. He shows that most people don't really think about what their believes entail in any meaningful way. Along with this he is just a good thing to throw on in the car or while doing chores and get Econ101 in the confines of a debate. Now that I'm older I politically disagree him on most things but I'm still nostalgic and see the value in bringing your politics into the real world instead of utopian larp land.

Destiny presents the nouveau intellectual of the post 2010s, where they aren't read in any sense and rely on the memorization of off-hand statistics and scant Wikipedia-tier knowledge to gish gallop the opposition in a numbers game. Destiny famously puts words in people's mouths with the classic, "You believe X, so you must believe Y," which is a shameful straw man he relies on, but not a lot of people catch it, which makes it effective. Any expertise overcomes the Destiny and Vaush types that. Martin Shekelsburg clubbed Destiny like a seal in a way that has to be seen to believe, and this was due to Destiny's expertise. Being aware of the tricks can entirely stuff his arguments, much like how Metokur walloped him simply by locking down on his tricks and asking for more information. None of this is debating either, it's just arguments for entertainment. Debate comes from a place of wanting to understand your opposition and fairly make a case, not to jam on them with gotchas. That being said, Destiny is good at what he does, whatever that is, and I agree with the occasional thing he says.

Theres no reason to deradicalize yourself after you have chosen the right path.

Center view politics/religious beliefs are milk toast for pussies who cant handle the fact that certain groups of people are evil and can only be dealt with using extremist philosophy.

The jews themselves are extremists who have no mercy for their victims to such an extent they control the media and education system and medical system so that the moment you are born you are circumsized and fucked up then their child psychologists go to work programming your mind to be a slave drone.

Thats not a type of people you fight with an attitude of cant we all just get along, its the same attitude that got us here in the first place.

Basically deradicalizing yourself is the same as turning yourself into a homogenized melting pot of conflicting ideas that will just make you a pussy. Its why I dont accept any abramaic religions because I think they are all spiritual cancer and practice greek hellinism.

Judge people as individuals, but realize the reality of problems and certain trends. European white demographics are in danger due to rapidly growing Muslim populations, largely thanks to Jews pushing mass migration, and the simple bloodless solution is pronatalist laws for whites and antinatalist laws for non-whites (e.g. monetary incentive for whites to have children and banning procreation with nonwhites). Such a solution could not work with USA though. USA, unlike Europe, is beyond saving, which is fine.

Well, all arguments in favor of third-world immigration, or in favor of "anti-traditionalism", "cultural marxism", or "anti-nationalism", or other things right-wingers dislike nowadays, depend, at their core, on a belief that WW2 was a theological event, a moral revelation, as opposed to a mere historical event, that calls us to reaffirm belief in human equality and concern for victims and the marginalized as our highest values. Contemporary culture wars, from the left-wing side, are just radicalizations of this principle. To be right-wing is simply to reject the aforementioned belief system and deny that WW2 was a moral revelation.

My advice is to accept that your current beliefs are your current beliefs and then to just disengage from politics. Yes, there are many bad things happening in the world but unless you're interested in making politics a huge part of your life (which it sounds like you aren't) then I would suggest focusing on other passions.

On the flip side to all of this, I don't understand how someone like a philosophy professor can expose himself to so many disparate and opposed ideas and still end up being a milquetoast liberal like everyone else.

Because they dont really expose themselves to that many dangerous ideas. Plenty of them support cencorship and are opposed to the idea of even reading certain authors with political or philosophical views that are unacceptable. It's similar to religious thinking.
Also if they didnt become milquetoast liberals, they would get fired

Hey OP, I've been in a somewhat similar situation. Reading picrel made me aware of the capriciousness of my ideology. It's a great book.

>Theodore Roosevelt - The Duties of American Citizenship
>Of course, in one sense, the first essential for a man’s being a good citizen is his possession of the home virtues of which we think when we call a man by the emphatic adjective of manly. No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body; exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined, or there is lack of the rude military virtues which alone can assure a country’s position in the world. In a free republic the ideal citizen must be one willing and able to take arms for the defense of the flag, exactly as the ideal citizen must be the father of many healthy children. A race must be strong and vigorous; it must be a race of good fighters and good breeders, else its wisdom will come to naught and its virtue be ineffective; and no sweetness and delicacy, no love for and appreciation of beauty in art or literature, no capacity for building up material prosperity can possibly atone for the lack of the great virile virtues.

This sounds like rightwing extremism to me

In my experience most philosophy lecturers in the West are too autistically focused on their own research to care much about politics, so just adopt whatever's popular so they're not disturbed by the university.

I think it's contextual. Radical vs moderate are relative if we're defining moderate as supporting anything that's well established in a culture. Sometimes a radical view on a particular topic is correct in certain settings/times in others not so much. For instance a proponent of democracy wouldve been seen as a radical in 1600s, but that position today is seen as moderate. T8GR

all of my profs were subtly pretty opinionated, just not in a gibbering way. they showed it by giving marx similar attention to Hegel in modern philosophy, embedding a detailed discussion of disability studies on bioethics
nothing shoe horned but you could see what they had their own opinions about what was ibteresting/concerning
