Last week, I discussed several books of ancient and modern times on power.
For power is a part of life, something that permeates our choices, our
actions, our judgments, down from the opening we choose among several to
get this particular girl looking up from her smartphone choices career that
could set the mark for the next ten years.
Some left saying "nothing is neutral," because it is all about power. Such
a sweeping statement is grossly exaggerated and reflects an unhealthy
worship of power, it still contains a kernel of truth. Knowing where your
power begins where a rule of legitimate power, and where you can take and
how, is far from clear, and can not be discovered by experience and a long
reflection.
ancient thought is usually wider, fuller, thicker than its modern
counterpart. It seems less like a lecture and more as a support for
meditation. For this reason, if you want to gain wisdom, I urge you to
start with Plato or Aristotle. However, these are not enough. Since these
eminent philosophers pondered the times have changed and we are faced with
challenges of antiquity men did not know & # 8212; or much less. Today, an
important part of what we struggle with is related to money and cultural
conflicts. These aspects are more directly addresses the contemporary books.
As you will see, pioneers in these areas were barely friends. Among these
works, only two out of seven were written by people who could be considered
more or less on our side, with serious doubts stain one of them. If we want
to beat the hollow Empire on its own ground, meeting with his most cunning
agents is necessary, whatever the bitterness of the experience. It is not
as if they had produced the first bittersweet books after all.
Public Opinion 1. Walter Lippmann
"I'm Chesterton without the mustache and the foreskin. Now listen (((me)))
on the way people live misthink ".
Parked in the wake of the Great War by a Jewish journalist, public opinion
says a lot about the "manufacture of consent" before the infamous Noam
Chomsky was born. You know what you are when you crack open the book and
meeting with a quote from the allegory of Plato's cave in full early. To
recall, the allegory of the cave represents the clueless people whose
prospects are limited by blinders and are led to confuse the puppet shadows
with real things.
Public opinion makes a clear distinction between the two types of
individuals: first, the "elite", the "expert", the "specialist" who has
been trained and knows; On the other hand, the ordinary citizen, that is
riddled with bias and prejudice and is part of a "disoriented flock" in
need of direction. The public, mostly in the form of press day after day,
is how the old guides it & # 8212; for his own good, of course. (In a book
on, The Phantom Public, Lippmann double down and draws an even more
scathing picture of the average public Gentile.)
In criticizing the "unregulated" media and how people, when faced with
incomplete or uncertain information are based on assumptions, Lippmann
explains how to manipulate people and justified. It distinguishes between
a "real" world and "pseudo-environment" because of alleged prejudice,
superstition, stereotypes, myths and & # 8212, you may have guessed it & #
8212; social constructs. The cool part, from the perspective of Lippmann,
is that 1) most stupid goyim can not tell the difference between truth
and "social construction", and 2) the pseudo-environment can be
deconstructed, reconstructed and manipulated by those who know it exists
and how to change it.
If you want to trace the roots of false news media on us looming today,
public opinion is playing, provided that you can wear with arrogant remarks
Lippmann on the "boobies" or on the way to be dissected the girl next to a
psychiatrist. By the way, you may notice that hyper-up stuff like the work
of Daniel Kahneman on "through the people" can easily be called in support
of a Lippmannian program.
2. Edward Bernays Propaganda
A nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays would be advertising and discrete
marketing campaigns that Lippman was journalism. Bernays is indeed a
pioneer in the occult influence, indirect advertising, clever use of
symbolism, spinning and other practices that mark under the euphemistic
term "public relations".
Propaganda, the most famous book Bernays says some of these methods, as
well as successful uses, it is done. For example, in 1915, he promoted a
Russian troupe of ballet dancers promoting their colorful costumes in
fashion, pushing opinion articles on dance, and causing American men (troll
bait "are American men ashamed to be gracious? ").
Bernays is best known for his campaign "freedom torch". To expand the
market for cigarettes, he teamed with a psychoanalyst, (((Abraham Brill))),
and corrupt journalists, and together they spun pseudo-spontaneous events
by young women who smoke in public together . roughly Looks like Soros
Femens. More money for tobacco magnates, plus the ability to turn a story
of "progress" for leftists, less moral for everyone.
Bernays also helped President Woodrow Wilson betray his first campaign
promise, namely that the United States will join the Great War, but managed
to have another propagandist, George Creel, scapegoats in his place during
this campaign was exposed as full of lies.
Play propaganda, note how Bernays attempts to justify and regulate & #
8212; # 8212 in words and his own practice. In a democracy, it is necessary
that "our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely
by men we have never heard of. "Well, maybe free speech for everyone
encourages an arms race on the marketplace ideas, but conveniently forgets
Bernays (((that))) began self-promotion and play tough competition at a
time when it was considered trespassing on the territory of someone else.
3. Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
Just need an introduction to the American reader, Atlas Shrugged can be
understood as a philosophical tale about the personal and social power. Far
from being the greedy bastards, they are sometimes portrayed as Hank
Rearden, Francesco d'Anconia, Midas Mulligan et al. are heroic characters
with an own code of ethics and sense of integrity. Full of masculine
energy, they follow their calling, are self-controlled and a strong will to
develop the capacities that enable them to thrive and contribute to the
welfare of society. All are virtuous and some, like d'Anconia, are curious
or playful.
Closely woven with the main adventures of the characters is a real sense of
authenticity. Hank Rearden could earn even more money it already
associating with the corrupt government, but it does not. Midas Mulligan
could continue to invest smartly as he does, but he'd rather scuttle his
own empire that bow down to an unfair trial. John Galt could live in a
house he patented his engine as Tesla, but he spent years in a small
apartment, posing as a humble railway worker, so he and others many
successful spirit setting a crazy world turned.
Atlas Shrugged is based on a sharp distinction between external goods, such
as money and social status and internal elements such as integrity and
values. John Galt teaches all of its targets to abandon the old, no matter
the suffering involved, so they can keep it. Only those who have betrayed
their own moral sense to a place within the system, as a former professor
of Galt Robert Stadler, or those who seem like they have never had, will
affirm that integrity is but a social construction or that nobody should be
truly independent. The Representation of Ayn Rand litterateurs like a bunch
of assholes neurotic willing to take what they could never create is
hilarious and, although sometimes simplistic, remains essentially the truth.
Of course, Atlas Shrugged should be read with a huge grain of salt.
Objectivism has no objection against feminism, contempt lots of family and
race, and of course encourages robber barons to do anything they want. Even
then, the main work of Ayn Rand remains infused with a positive sense of
life and a meaningful analysis of major power relations.
4. Rules for Radicals Saul Alinsky
After books about journalism and advertising are the most notorious ever
written about politics. An agitator and demagogue since the late 1930s,
Saul Alinsky had over thirty years of experience when it published the
Rules for Radicals. This book was covered twice ROK, so I will not comment
on briefly.
While elitist prose of lengthy Lippman philosophical atmosphere that makes
it look like a dead ringer for James Burnham, and while the book Bernays
this "board 40%, 40 stories%, 20% bullshit" brand typical of the personal
business of improving things, Alinsky writes clearly put the reader on a
particular track. A master practitioner of pilpul, he manages to mix a
force-position is right near Ragnar Barberousse is with Marxist tone
blandly. If you can endure the pounding-leftism of his prose, the rules for
radicals explains many strategies while organizing or agitator may be used
in special circumstances.
Stir grievances, focusing on insignificant events or unimportant but makes
important taboos, to lobby key people, rattling a compromise by a war of
attrition before abusing her, making a public target "pregnant with hope"
in you by intimating another public so that it remains of the road are all
strategies Alinsky explained.
Rules for Radicals gives an insider view to the complex workings of the
left, which still applies many of these strategies today. A reader of our
side can also pick up some tips, especially since Alinsky was an outsider
to the areas of the property that contributes to lay off, as we are now.
Reading this I started to think about how the left is trying to prevent us
to imitate. Our attempts to organize & # 8212; & # 8212 legally, are still
frantically despised and repressed. Another example is how they managed to
create an aura "rebel brave" around their characters who faced repression
as each individual pilled red rising is reduced to a common denominator and
defamed. Obviously, the lukewarm conservative Alinsky face are nothing
compared to the implementation we face. I guess it will be our victory all
the more commendable.
5. maneuvered Esther Vilar Man
Esther Vilar in 1975
Published in 1972, just one year after the rules Alinsky, maneuvered Man
Vilar is quite different in all respects except maybe the subject.
Originally written in German, written by an author gentile, man maneuvered
comes from a woman who fell ill with how gender plays the oppressed,
fragile, need help to extract a free service of other, namely men.
Like judeocritical Jews are often the best critics of their own background
& # 8212; think about Gilad Atzmon and Paul Gottfried & # 8212; the rare
breed of women who are too honest and good humor to go along with the
position manipulative peers provide valuable information. Vilar was red
pill, manosphere-friendly before the word was invented.
In a clear style, it exposes the true character of feminist (aggressive,
power-hungry, always projecting their own character to the other, blame
everyone but themselves for their own misery), the daily operation of
approach men plagued with anxiety, and how the hardest sex work becomes
increasingly fragile and forced to passive obedience while women "stress"
without becoming a driving force in politics.
In one shot, Vilar removes gallant sails, white-knightism and hammering the
story of both adversarial and more moderate feminists women. The man is
operated as relevant today as in the 70s It also gives a nice guys context
the key to our generation were raised in & # 8212; a context that has
nothing to do with patriarchy.
In many ways, the man maneuvered as Herrnstein and Murray The Bell Curve:
he sold a lot, but only "behind closed doors" are perpetrators receive
support, and from the start they face defamation of muscular media and
death threats.
48 laws of 6. Robert Greene
Having acquired a personal experience of the power dynamics working in
Hollywood, Greene used his passion for history and writing talent to create
the 48 laws of power. The result was a bestseller. Honestly, its success
was deserved.
"Laws" of Greene are general rules more or less in many power relations.
Some of the rules still apply, some are related to the context, all help to
assess a particular situation and know what is happening. The 48 laws have
a very nice layout, telling stories about an optimistic tone, and interpret
both elegant and deeply. As this book has become a classic, with countless
citing sources, I suggest you get a copy if you have used cheap not open
already cracked.
7. Ryan Holiday Trust Me, I'm lying
Note Holiday repressed haircut Alt-Righter
To end this list is a 2.0 version of Edward Bernays. A college dropout,
Ryan Holiday including (1) how the "big names" of mainstream Internet media
took their stories smaller bloggers, and (2) how to bribe bloggers. Believe
me, I lie explains how hilarious feminist triggered holidays for promoting
a shitty movie without even knowing why, or how he flattered and bribed
Instagramers women so that they would "free" advertising for American
Apparel . Gawker and Jezebel are exposed as unethical, scandal Search
points-disconnecting brain.
When it comes to justify the book, vacation, he said finally disgusted with
all the deception around and opted for spilling the beans. Beware of this
type of display. Many offenders are trying to transform their bad
reputation upside claiming loudly that they moved to a road to Damascus.
Nevertheless, it is quite possible that vacation became really unhappy
because he is not Jewish.
It represents (Chapter 14) Andrew Breitbart as a "media manipulator" who
never tired or morally disturbed by what he did. Perhaps at least some
non-Jews can not imitate the "chosen people" all the way down without
feeling like they betray to the bone.
Believe me, I lay suffering from a liberal bias in the choice of some of
its examples. Mention Breitbart, holiday essentially accuses "Republicans
angry" sore SJWs are doing, and shows sympathy for blacks promoted
undeserved as he does not show for targeted SJW dissidents. It also becomes
repetitive after a while. Yet it is a very good book for a
twenty-something, and it can be considered an applied version of the craft
Bernays.
Conclusion
Power over oneself and social power are two different things. Someone can
quietly enjoy the old and live a good happy life without much of a second,
while someone who enjoys much of the second type of power can bring ruin to
himself and other acting as a whiner right. In any case, today the social
power too easily into something disgusting. For often must design an image,
a public appearance itself is deceptive background.
Be honest with Normie, indoctrinated masses, or crooks that awaits us is
like casting pearls before swine. Understanding leftism, or system, or
women, and see beyond the new endless facades is liberating. But the fact
that we sometimes act so Machiavellian feels disturbing. And yet we have no
choice & # 8212; game is about that, and the masses should be said
with "pedagogy", namely a cunning manner, be oriented in the right
direction. Andrew Breitbart Breitbart had to be in the red pill a much
wider audience than Vdare or ROK.
For more social power, we must be creative and flexible, coming unexpected.
Never compromise, however, on fundamentals. Ayn Rand had it right and
Julius Evola did too. Taking this formulation, the role, the cause, and so
on does not necessarily mean a profound agreement with her. As might say
many cases, "it's not that simple. "And even then, I'm a pain in the
stomach when playing rules Alinsky, and again later, when I went through
vacation to paint hypocritically as a liberal truth teller & # 8212 This
which seems rather ridiculous considering that the title of his book.
Apart from Atlas Shrugged, all the books mentioned here are acidic to some
extent, and remains perhaps much more in them could be considered a
Katabasis after which the sacred texts appear only more illuminating and
refreshing.
