THE BOOKSHELF THREAD 📚

“The more colour-coordinated the Bookshelf, the worse the content will be”

“I have decided to do some investigation into photos of Bugwoman bookshelves, or #Bookshelfies as these vacuous NPCs call them”

This Thread was first posted by Mencius Moldbugman Image
Mencius Moldbugman’s Iron Rule of Bookshelves: The more colour-coordinated the bookshelf, the worse the content will be.

Real readers read books to learn, Bugpeople use books as decoration and for social status points. Image
Colour-Coordinated Bookshelves mostly belong to “Book-Obsessives”. Most of these "Book-Obsessed" Bugpeople are women. The vast majority of their books are emotional pornography AKA chick-lit. This pink selection is the female equivalent of a man showing off vintage retro nudes. Image
Needless to say, geek culture and fake book idolatry go hand in hand.

Expect lots of adult graphic novels, Neil Gaiman, Harry Potter, self-help books, George RR Martin.

Don't expect: hard sci-fi, Russian classics, anything written before 1998, Bible. Image
Aspiring Bugwomen authors tend to write Young Adult Fiction or Fantasy because they think it is easier to write, plus it's currently trendy. Instead of working on their craft they hope that surrounding themselves with similar books will help them instead. Heh, women... Image
Often these adults know deep in their hearts that reading children's books is embarrassing, which is why there exists an industry for kid's books with "mature" covers in an attempt to add authenticity to their shallow geek culture. Image
Often these book collections are used as a replacement for religion. When hard truths and old religions are removed from the shelf, expect lots of "spiritual but not religious" whimsy... and lots of Harry Potter. Image
You will never find anything of value in these bookshelves. Just decor, Bugperson narcissism, and hijacking a once intellectual pursuit for social points. It's literature as a tool for masturbation. Image
Every. Single. Time. Image

WHO ARE THE HOTTEST NEW FACTIONS ON THE RIGHT?: A PRIMER

The influence of the Online Right continues to grow and now even reaches into the Real World. As more people join the movement, more new factions have emerged. But which factions are making the biggest impact this year? 🧵 Image
RACIST ART HOES

“Racism - so hot right now.” As the Right continues to grow in influence its vitalistic energy and avant-garde edge have begun to attract Women to the movement; hipster art hoes from New York to London. They may not totally ‘get it’ but it has ‘really cool vibes’ Image
JUDEABOOS

As ‘knowledge of Jewish group behaviour and achievements’ has grown on the Right, some have taken to insisting that Nationalists should emulate the Jews, who they now idolise, as far as possible - to gain the ‘upper-hand’ for themselves by ‘copying Jewish behaviours’ Image

THE SWEDEN THREAD 🇸🇪

First Posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman - A Thread of observations about the Swedish and Sweden

“I would like to present some notes taken from 2015 when I spent some time in Sweden and concluded it was hell on Earth” 🧵 Image
Important point: I was in Sweden during the winter. The winters are, obviously, brutal in Sweden with about four hours of sun and freezing temperatures. If I had visited in the summer I may have had slightly more positive feelings about the country. I doubt it though.
Sweden was cold, dark and depressing. We were getting about 5 hours of daylight from 10am till 3pm, and when I ventured up to the frozen wastes of Lapland I was getting about 3 and a half hours of daylight only. Maybe fun for a winter holiday, but I was there to work.

STEPHEN FRY APPRECIATION THREAD

Following popular British TV Host Philip Schofield’s retirement for Unknown Reasons, now seemed a good time to repost a Tribute Thread to Schofield’s fellow National Treasure Stephen Fry. This Thread was first posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman ImageImageImageImage
Amongst his many talents, Fry is first and foremost an extraordinarily talented writer. His first play was written at the tender age of just 22 in 1979. ImageImageImageImage
I've never had the pleasure of reading some of his early work but the reviews certainly make it sound enticing. Let's hope there are more productions coming soon. Image
