I would be down! We should Read Fahrenheit 451 and then 1984! They flow RIGHT into each other and warn of the future! Neither of them are SUPER long they are short simple but AMAZING reads!

>>624
Fahrenheit 451 is an incredible book.

>>621
I'm suggesting Animal Farm in the list then, since there's a theme here.

>mlpol book club
Oh I love this ideas.
My suggestions are the normal dsyutopians (451, 1984, etc.)
One I haven't read yet is "Brave New World"
>>627
Or that one
Should I create a poll?

Hell yeah! Read them all in a line Fahrenheit 451, 1984 then Animal Farm I would LOVE to read them.

OH at the end we can watch the movies for all 3 since they are also REALLY good movies

For those who are interested in reading outside of this using an audio book/

Animal Farm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl4REOWdJSE

Alright, poll is up
http://www.strawpoll.me/14144250
Also, where would be a good place to get Mein Kampf?

>>630
I have most of the books mentioned here in pdf form and more.

If you guys want a fun book to read on your own time "guns of the south" is pretty good. It's about time traveling South Africans who help the Confederates win the civil war by bringing them ak 47s. It a ridiculous concept, but it's well written and I enjoyed it. The author is definitely against racism, as the south Africans are portrayed as the "evil neo Nazis", but it's still a fun read.

>>631
I own Animal Farm
I've read 1984
But finally, I have a copy of Mein Kampf
Thank you Anon!

Anons, don't forget about this book. Honestly, one of the best - he he - guides I've ever read.

Oh wow, i didn't expect you all liking this so much, great!
>>630
Thanks anon!
Well we might just start voting now, we are 6 as of now it appears, lets see if there is any other anons wanting to join us.

I vote Infinite Jest

>>621
I'm in. I vote the 48 Laws of Power

Audiobook: https://youtu.be/pSWIVupPAKI

>>625
I want Anons to read Fahrenheit 451, for the lessons in the book, and so that they could get the backstory for the Evil, Inverted Fireaxe.

>>642
Great book, wouldn't mind reading again. I say the 48 because it details how to proceed and develop one's self as scrupulously (or unscrupulously) as is possible in a world that filled with the unscrupulous. Its like Machiavelli on steroids.

>>642
Weird, I dont remember a lot of the required reading I had back in middle/high school but I do remember Fahrenheit 451 being one of them. Sad if its not anymore.

>>644
>I dont remember a lot of the required reading I had back in middle/high school but I do remember Fahrenheit 451
Ikr. Good book.

>>645
>>644
Probaly not
I say that because of the
>No one can offend you or they are something-phobic
Agenda going on,
And thats exactly why they banned books in th book.

>>635
I guess we could close the poll cause there haven't been any new votes recently.
So I guess Fahrenheit 451 wins.

>>663
There was a poll?
>Would've voted 451 anyway

>>663
Sweet when do we start reading?

>>664
Earlier in thread
>>665
I guess ASAP
Its 158 pages, so maybe 15 pages a day for about 10 days?

>>667
I recommend we all use the same revision so the pages line up. We should use this one.

https://www.svsd410.org/cms/lib/WA01919490/Centricity/Domain/536/451-entire%20book.pdf

>>668
That works

>>668
This is great!
>>671
Was RPing earlier

>>673
???

Hey Anon if you want I can delete this thread so you can make a thread about the book and have the PDF posted in the main post.

>>675
Just make a second thread, so the data in this one isn't lost. It's not like the catalog is in danger of being slid

Can we read together "How to Bomb the U.S. Government" by infamous terrorist Sam Hyde?

https://www.vapes.com/products/mde-presents-how-to-bomb-the-u-s-govt-preorder?variant=27318916417

Holy shit, that's a cute Pinkie model. So much cuter than those ugly sfm models.

Man, this seriously didn't got off the ground, maybe we need to check on this board every once in a while..

>>675
This seems like a. Good idea, I am sorry for being so negligent regardless this matter.

Who's up for some alternate history!

https://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/133469/The_Turner_Diaries.pdf

>>621
Yo, i say we make a livestream of audiobooks, 1 or 2h per week so anons can do whatever while listening to the stream.

>>1309
I'll second this. Should we gather via a site like rabb.it?

Also wake up thread! I got a library on my external drive and I wanna read shit with you faggots when February comes. Maybe we can do a poll when my computer works again?

I could dump some shit if it is desired.

>>1596
Do et fag

That should keep you busy there is other stuff but more specific.

>>1604
>>1605
these three belong together

>>1315
Rip
This idea is quite hard to flesh out, how many are we?

>>1658
I like this idea. I doubt every book posted here will be read but we'll at least finish Mein Kampf. But can a thread this old even be revived?

>>1661
Yeah, its on front page right now
Its just lacking some organization, getting a bunch of anons to actually participate.
Heres mein Kampf (557 pages)
If we read 9 per day we can finish it in two months

>>1662
I have not idea how you going to pull this enterprise out, but I'm interested.

>>1664
Sorry, i ran out of internets
>Wut
So, Ill start the reading this weekend, 9 pages/day and post a few important quotes here, whoever anon wants to join, just download the pdf!

>>1681
Shit, i forgot to post
>I know that fewer people are won over by the written word than by the spoken word and that every great movement on this earth owes its growth to great speakers and not to great writers.
Hitler on the preface of the book, he's making an interesting point here about how more than a book, a movement needs something to actually read that words in order to inspire others.

>Chapter 1
>People of the same blood should be in the same REICH.(...)
When the territory of the REICH embraces all the Germans and finds itself unable to assure them a livelihood, only then can the moral right arise, from the need of the people to acquire foreign territory.
>The plough is then the sword; and the tears of war will produce the daily bread for the generations to come.
This is too juicy to not add here, next he goes on to talk about the life of his father until...
>I gave scarcely
any serious thought to the question of choosing a vocation in life; but I was certainly quite out of sympathy with the kind of career which my father had followed. I think that an inborn talent for speaking now began to develop and take shape during the more or less strenuous arguments which I used to have with my comrades.
Relatable.
>For the first time in my life--I was then eleven years old--I felt myself forced into open opposition. No matter how hard and determined my father might be about putting his own plans and opinions into action, his son was no less obstinate in refusing to accept ideas on which he set little or no value
>No amount of persuasion and no amount of 'grave' warnings could break down that opposition. I would not become a State official, not on any account.
...
>But the situation became more difficult once I had a positive plan of my own which I might present to my father as a counter-suggestion. This happened when I was twelve years old. How it came about I cannot exactly say now; but one day it became clear to me that I would be a painter--I mean an artist.
Oh boy
>The old Austria was a multi-national State.
>The Germans of the REICH did not realize that if the Germans in Austria had not been of the best racial stock they could never have given the stamp of their own character to an Empire of 52 millions, so definitely that in Germany itself the idea arose--though quite an erroneous one--that Austria was a German State.
>That was an error which led to dire consequences
>Only very few of the Germans in the REICH itself had an idea of the bitter struggle which those Eastern Germans had to carry on daily for the preservation of their German language, their German schools and their German character.
The language fight, also history repeating itself
>What has happened always and everywhere (...) happened also in the language fight which was carried on in the old Austria.
>There were three groups--the fighters, the hedgers and the traitors. Even in the schools this sifting already began to take place
>Under many forms the young people led the struggle, fighting in their own way and with their own weapons. They refused to sing non-German songs.
>They were incredibly alert in the significance of what the non-German teachers said and they contradicted in unison. They wore the forbidden emblems of their own kinsfolk and were happy when penalised for doing so, or even physically punished. In miniature they were mirrors of loyalty from which the older people might learn a lesson.
>We greeted one another with HEIL! and instead of the Austrian anthem we sang our own DEUTSCHLAND ÜBER ALLES, despite warnings and penalties.
Important
>To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of those results which appear before our eyes as historical events. The art of reading and studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is not essential.

>What history taught us about the policy followed by the House of Habsburg was corroborated by our own everyday experiences. In the north and in the south the poison of foreign races was eating into the body of our people, and even Vienna was steadily becoming more and more a non-German city. The 'Imperial House' favoured the Czechs on every possible occasion. Indeed it was the hand of the goddess of eternal justice and inexorable retribution that caused the most deadly enemy of Germanism in Austria, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, to fall by the very bullets which he himself had helped to cast. Working from above downwards, he was the chief patron of the movement to make Austria a Slav State.

Quotes for now, i'll post some more in a few minutes, this is a great book. i totally didn't forget the thread

>>1683
Page 20 to 30; I wanted to become a painter edition
>When I was in my thirteenth year my father was suddenly taken from us. He was still in robust health when a stroke of apoplexy painlessly ended his earthly wanderings and left us all deeply bereaved.
Rip hitler's father.
>Illness suddenly came to my assistance.
>y lungs became so seriously affected that the doctor advised my mother very strongly not under any circumstances to allow me to take up a career which would necessitate working in an office
>What I had secretly desired for such a long time, and had persistently fought for, now became a reality almost at one stroke.
The plot tickens.
>Two years later my mother's death put a brutal end to all my fine projects.
> Though expected, her death came as a terrible blow to me. I respected my father, but I loved my mother.
He lost his father at 13 and his mother at 15, well shit
>The allowance which came to me as an orphan was not enough for the bare necessities of life. Somehow or other I would have to earn my own bread.
>With my clothes and linen packed in a valise and with an indomitable resolution in my heart, I left for Vienna.
>I was determined to become 'something'--but certainly not a civil servant.
End of Chapter 1 and starting Chapter 2
>WHEN MY mother died my fate had already been decided in one respect. During the last months of her illness I went to Vienna to take the entrance examination for the Academy of Fine Arts. Armed with a bulky packet of sketches, I felt convinced that I should pass the examination quite easily. At the REALSCHULE I was by far the best student in the drawing class, and since that time I had made more than ordinary progress in the practice of drawing.
>I was so convinced of my success that when the news that I had failed to pass was brought to me it struck me like a bolt from the skies.
It begins
>He said that the sketches which I had brought with me unquestionably showed that painting was not what I was suited for but that the same sketches gave clear indications of my aptitude for architectural designing.
>herefore the School of Painting did not come into question for me but rather the School of Architecture.
And now
>Within a few days I myself also knew that I ought to become an architect. But of course the way was very difficult. I was now forced bitterly to rue my former conduct in neglecting and despising certain subjects at the REALSCHULE. Before taking up the courses at the School of Architecture in the Academy it was necessary to attend the Technical Building School; but a necessary qualification for entrance into this school was a Leaving Certificate from the Middle School. And this I simply did not have.
As if it was written in 2019.
>After the death of my mother I came to Vienna for the third time. This visit was destined to last several years.
>I had my eyes steadily fixed on the goal. I would be an architect.
>Obstacles are placed across our path in life, not to be boggled at but to be surmounted.

>I am thankful for that period of my life, because it hardened me and enabled me to be as tough as I now am. And I am even more thankful because I appreciate the fact that I was thus saved from the emptiness of a life of ease and that a mother's darling was taken from tender arms and handed over to Adversity as to a new mother. Though I then rebelled against it as too hard a fate, I am grateful that I was thrown into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to know the people for whom I was afterwards to fight.

>Five years of poverty in that Phaecian town. Five years in which, first as a casual labourer and then as a painter of little trifles, I had to earn my daily bread.
>Every book that I bought meant renewed hunger(...)
>And yet during that time I learned more than I had ever learned before.
>I read a great deal then, and I pondered deeply over what I read. All the free time after work was devoted exclusively to study. Thus within a few years I was able to acquire a stock of knowledge which I find useful even to-day.
The demon days and..
>There was hardly any other German city in which the social problem could be studied better than in Vienna.
>Thousands of unemployed loitered in front of the palaces on the Ring Strasse; and below that VIA TRIUMPHALIS of the old Austria the homeless huddled together in the murk and filth of the canals.
>The man who has never been in the clutches of that crushing viper can never know what its poison is. An attempt to study it in any other way will result only in superficial talk and sentimental delusions.Both are harmful. The first because it can never go to the root of the question, the second because it evades the question entirely.
Really relevant right here.
> I was protected against the temptation to study the social question in the way just mentioned, for the simple reason that I was forced to live in the midst of poverty-stricken people.

Then he goes on talking on
>The country lad who migrates to the big city feels attracted by what has been described as easy work
And how said country lad gets inside a vicious cycle of repetition, spiralling down the social ladder to become yet another poor souless worker, culminating in
>He has been so often thrown out of employment through no fault of his own that he is now more or less indifferent whether the strike in which he takes part be for the
purpose of securing his economic rights or be aimed at the destruction of the State, the whole social order and even civilization itself. Though the idea of going on strike may not be to his natural liking, yet he joins in it out of sheer indifference.

And that will be it for today, tomorrow i'll post quotes from the next 9 pages and maybe some comments to catch your attention span.

Thanks for the recap, fren

Welcome guys to episode 2 of this great adventure called reading mein kampf; Exemplified edition.
Is anyone else reading this right now? We will go from page 30 to 40 today.
*ahem*
>One thing stood out clearly before my eyes: It was the sudden changes from work to idleness and vice versa; so that the constant fluctuations thus caused by earnings and expenditure finally destroyed the 'sense of thrift for many people and also the habit of regulating expenditure in an intelligent way.
In this whole paragraph hitler proceeds to explain how periods of work mixed with periods of hunger has an impact on the worker's psychology, affecting mostly the worker's hability to spend money cautiously:
> the deprivations which the unemployed worker has to endure must be compensated for psychologically by a persistent mental mirage in which he imagines himself eating heartily once again.
>This leads to confusion in the little weekly housekeeping budget, because the expenditure is not rationally planned.
>(...)the earnings will last perhaps for five days instead of seven(...)as the habit recurs, the earnings will last scarcely for a day; and finally they will disappear in one night of feasting.
He proceeds to set an example in which the worker has a family, how such lifestyle conditions children to live in such a way, thus repeating the cycle.
>I have had actual experience of all this in hundreds of cases. At first I was disgusted and indignant; but later on I came to recognize the whole tragedy of their misfortune and to understand the profound causes of it. They were the unhappy victims of evil circumstances.
>those who emerged from all this misfortune and misery, from this filth and outward degradation, were not human beings as such but rather lamentable results of lamentable laws.

And now we start with a little bit of ideology; A solution:
>Even in those days I already saw that there was a two-fold method by which alone it would be possible to bring about an amelioration of these conditions:
>first, to create better fundamental conditions of social development by establishing a profound feeling for social responsibilities among the public; second, to combine this feeling for social responsibilities with a ruthless determination to prune away all excrescences which are incapable of being improved.
>Just as Nature concentrates its greatest attention, not to the maintenance of what already exists but on the selective breeding of offspring in order to carry on the species, so in human life also it is less a matter of artificially improving the existing generation--which, owing to human characteristics, is impossible in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred--and more a matter of securing from the very start a better road for future development.
>he aim of all social activity must never be merely charitable relief, which is ridiculous and useless, but it must rather be a means to find a way of eliminating the fundamental deficiencies in our economic and cultural life
Then he talks in lenght about the burgeois hipocricy, specially when judging a young man that is, in his words, a victim of circunstances (I reccomend checking the whole text out but it's too much to put here so here's the end statement)
>Day after day the bourgeois world are witnesses to the phenomenon of spreading poison among the people through the instrumentality of the theatre and the cinema, gutter journalism and obscene books; and yet they are astonished at the deplorable 'moral standards' and 'national indifference' of the masses. As if the cinema bilge and the gutter press and suchlike could inculcate knowledge of the greatness of one's country, apart entirely from the earlier education of the individual.

On nationalism:
>I can fight only for something that I love. I can love only what I respect. And in order to respect a thing I must at least have some knowledge of it.

On his daily life
>Besides my interest in the social question I naturally devoted myself with enthusiasm to the study of architecture. Side by side with music, I considered it queen of the arts. To study it was for me not work but pleasure. I could read or draw until the small hours of the morning without ever getting tired. And I became more and more confident that my dream of a brilliant future would become true, even though I should have to wait long years for its fulfilment. I was firmly convinced that one day I should make a name for myself as an architect.
At this time, he was making money by working as a painter and a draughtsman

>I looked upon this practical interest in politics merely as part of an elementary obligation that devolves on every thinking man.
Every /pol/ack ever

>Those who have no understanding of the political world around them have no right to criticize or complain.

>Reading is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Its chief purpose is to help towards filling in the framework which is made up of the talents and capabilities that each individual possesses.
I feel like i'm dissecting a philosophy book at this point (beyond good and evil, anyone?)
>I know people who read interminably, book after book, from page to page, and yet I should not call them 'well-read people'.
>They have not the faculty of distinguishing between what is useful and useless in a book(...)
>Each little piece of knowledge thus gained must be treated as if it were a little stone to be inserted into a mosaic, so that it finds its proper place among all the other pieces and particles that help to form a general world-picture in the brain of the reader.
>Otherwise only a confused jumble of chaotic notions will result from all this reading.

I'll follow up with another post, running out of characters here.

>>1688
Let's talk gommunism
>It is impossible to say when I might have started to make a thorough study of the doctrine and characteristics of Marxism were it not for the fact that I then literally ran head foremost into the problem.

>What I knew of Social Democracy in my youth was precious little and that little was for the most part wrong.
>All of a sudden I was brought face to face with the products of their teaching and what they called their WELTANSCHAUUNG. In this way a few months sufficed for me to learn something which under other circumstances might have necessitated decades of study--namely, that under the cloak of social virtue and love of one's neighbour a veritable pestilence was spreading abroad and that if this pestilence be not stamped out of the world without delay it may eventually succeed in exterminating the human race.

>I first came into contact with the Social Democrats while working in the building trade.
>At midday some of my fellow workers used to adjourn to the nearest tavern, while the others remained on the building premises and there ate their midday meal
>They now talked politics.
>I drank my bottle of milk and ate my morsel of bread somewhere on the outskirts
>And I often thought that some of what they said was meant for my ears
>But all that I heard had the effect of arousing the strongest antagonism in me. Everything was disparaged--the nation, because it was held to be an invention of the 'capitalist' class (how often I had to listen to that phrase!); the Fatherland, because it was held to be an instrument in the hands of the bourgeoisie for the exploitation of' the working masses; the authority of the law, because that was a means of holding down the proletariat; religion, as a means of doping the people, so as to exploit them afterwards; morality, as a badge of stupid and sheepish docility. There was nothing that they did not drag in the mud.
I should probably put a comment here

>At first I remained silent; but that could not last very long.
>we argued with one another on the building premises. From day to day I was becoming better informed than my companions in the subjects on which they claimed to be experts. Then a day came when the more redoubtable of my adversaries resorted to the most effective weapon they had to replace the force of reason. This was intimidation and physical force. Some of the leaders among my adversaries ordered me to leave the building or else get flung down from the scaffolding. As I was quite alone I could not put up any physical resistance; so I chose the first alternative and departed, richer however by an experience.

>Then I asked myself: Are these men worthy of belonging to a great people?
>If the answer were 'Yes', then the struggle to defend one's nationality is no longer worth all the trouble and sacrifice we demand of our best elements if it be in the interests of such a rabble.
>On the other hand, if the answer had to be 'No--these men are not worthy of the nation', then our nation is poor indeed in men.
He found
>I saw before my mind the ever-increasing and menacing army of people who could no longer be reckoned as belonging to their own nation
The sheeple, and then..
>It was with quite a different feeling, some days later, that I gazed on the interminable ranks, four abreast, of Viennese workmen parading at a mass demonstration.
>When I finally left the square and wandered in the direction of my lodgings. On my way I noticed the ARBEITERZEITUNG (The Workman's Journal) in a tobacco shop. This was the chief press-organ of the old Austrian Social Democracy.
>Hitherto I could not bring myself to do more than glance at the wretched thing for a couple of minutes: for its whole tone was a sort of mental vitriol to me. Under the depressing influence of the demonstration I had witnessed, some interior voice urged me to buy the paper in that tobacco shop and read it through. So I brought it home with me and spent the whole evening reading it, despite the steadily mounting rage provoked by this ceaseless outpouring of falsehoods.

Thanks for your lead poner.
Tonight I will read everything, carefully.

>>1691
Good reading, anon i'm glad to have you by our side
And speaking of glad, it is time to read the next ten pages now, yay!
Let us begin;

Out of curiosity, how does that Mein Kampf translation compare to the Henry Ford translation, and the 'official' translation here >>631

Some words from hitler on the nature of the marxist pamphlets
>In the literary effusions which dealt with the theory of Social Democracy there was a display of high-sounding phraseology about liberty and human dignity and beauty, all promulgated with an air of profound wisdom and serene prophetic assurance; a meticulously-woven glitter of words to dazzle and mislead the reader.
>On the other hand, the daily Press inculcated this new doctrine of human redemption in the most brutal fashion.
>These journalists were real virtuosos in the art of twisting facts and presenting them in a deceptive form.
And then
>This probing into books and newspapers and studying the teachings of Social Democracy reawakened my love for my own people. And thus what at first seemed an impassable chasm became the occasion of a closer affection.
Only the führer to turn a blackpill into a whitepill

>IF SOCIAL DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE OPPOSED BY A MORE TRUTHFUL TEACHING, THEN EVEN, THOUGH THE STRUGGLE BE OF THE BITTEREST KIND, THIS TRUTHFUL TEACHING WILL FINALLY PREVAIL PROVIDED IT BE ENFORCED WITH EQUAL RUTHLESSNESS.
All caps just because(?)

>Social Democracy learned the value of strength, and for that reason it attacks mostly those in whom it scents stuff of the more stalwart kind, which is indeed a very rare possession. On the other hand it praises every weakling among its adversaries, more or less cautiously, according to the measure of his mental qualities known or presumed. They have less fear of a man of genius who lacks will-power than of a vigorous character with mediocre intelligence and at the same time they highly commend those who are devoid of intelligence and will-power.
Why /fitlit/ is the Social Democrat's nightmare^

>The Social Democrats know how to create the impression that they alone are the protectors of peace.
>they conquer one position after another, at one time by methods of quiet intimidation and at another time by sheer daylight robbery, employing these latter tactics at those moments when public attention is turned towards other matters from which it does not wish to be diverted
It sounds similar to certain gun-related events that keep happening. Would someone think of the children?

>These tactics are based on an accurate estimation of human frailties and must lead to success, with almost mathematical certainty, unless the other side also learns how to fight poison gas with poison gas.

>Intimidation in workshops and in factories, in assembly halls and at mass demonstrations, will always meet with success as long as it does not have to encounter the same kind of terror in a stronger form.
>Then of course the Party will raise a horrified outcry, yelling blue murder and appealing to the authority of the State, which they have just repudiated.
>Their idea is to find among the higher government officials some bovine creature who, in the stupid hope that he may win the good graces of these awe-inspiring opponents so that they may remember him in case of future eventualities, will help them now to break all those who may oppose this world pest.

>The more I understood the methods of physical intimidation that were employed, the more sympathy I had for the multitude that had succumbed to it.

>On innumerable occasions the bourgeoisie took a definite stand against even the most legitimate human demands of the working classes. (...) The result was that the honest workman abandoned the original concept of the trades union organization and was dragged into politics.
>Our bourgeois parties can never repair the damage that resulted from the mistake they then made. For they sowed the seeds of hatred when they opposed all efforts at social reform. And thus they gave, at least, apparent grounds to justify the claim put forward by the Social Democrats--namely, that they alone stand up for the interests of the working class.

Now he goes on to explain trade unions and why they are important for a nation as well as "in the truest sense, national" (page 45-46)
>Within a few decades the Trades Union Movement was transformed, by the expert hand of Social Democracy, from an instrument which had been originally fashioned for the defence of human rights into an instrument for the destruction of the national economic structure.

>Attention to the real interests of the working-classes, on the part of the Social Democrats, steadily decreased until the cunning leaders saw that it would be in their immediate political interests if the social and cultural demands of the broad masses remained unheeded; for there was a danger that if these masses once felt content they could no longer be employed as mere passive material in the political struggle.

>One would have to be a decadent Bohemian in one of our modern cities in order to feel at home in that labyrinth of mental aberration
(talking about social democratic books) kek

>During such moments I had dark presentiments and feared something evil. I had before me a teaching inspired by egoism and hatred, mathematically calculated to win its victory, but the triumph of which would be a mortal blow to humanity.

>Knowledge of the Jews is the only key whereby one may understand the inner nature and therefore the real aims of Social Democracy.
He said it, he said it!

Cutting this post in two here

>>1693
No idea honestly

>>1694
>To-day it is hard and almost impossible for me to say when the word 'Jew' first began to raise any particular thought in my mind. I do not remember even having heard the word at home during my father's lifetime. If this name were mentioned in a derogatory sense I think the old gentleman would just have considered those who used it in this way as being uneducated reactionaries. In the course of his career he had come to be more or less a cosmopolitan, with strong views on nationalism, which had its effect on me as well. In school, too, I found no reason to alter the picture of things I had formed at home.
Hitler's father didn't know about((them))

>At the REALSCHULE I knew one Jewish boy. We were all on our guard in our relations with him, but only because his reticence and certain actions of his warned us to be discreet. Beyond that my companions and myself formed no particular opinions in regard to him.
The irony

>It was not until I was fourteen or fifteen years old that I frequently ran up against the word 'Jew', partly in connection with political controversies. These references aroused a slight aversion in me, and I could not avoid an uncomfortable feeling which always came over me when I had to listen to religious disputes. But at that time I had no other feelings about the Jewish question
Getting there..

>Then I came to Vienna.

>Although Vienna then had about two hundred thousand Jews among its population of two millions, I did not notice them.
>Not until I gradually settled down to my surroundings, and the confused picture began to grow learer, did I acquire a more discriminating view of my new world. And with that I came up against the Jewish problem.

>I will not say that the manner in which I first became acquainted with it was particularly unpleasant for me.
>In the Jew I still saw only a man who was of a different religion, I was against the idea that he should be attacked because he had a different faith.
>And so I considered that the tone adopted by the anti-Semitic Press in Vienna was unworthy of the cultural traditions of a great people.
>The memory of certain events which happened in the middle ages came into my mind, and I felt that I should not like to see them repeated. Generally speaking, these anti-Semitic newspapers did not belong to the first rank--but I did not then understand the reason of this--and so I regarded them more as the products of jealousy and envy rather than the expression of a sincere, though wrong-headed, feeling.

And that's all for now, come back tomorrow for more!
Or read the whole book while i'm out like a true übermensch

>>1683
>but one day it became clear to me that I would be a painter--I mean an artist.
I think that would be the equivalent of a fucking hippie at that time. A rebel.
>We greeted one another with HEIL! and instead of the Austrian anthem we sang our own DEUTSCHLAND ÜBER ALLES, despite warnings and penalties.
Countering subversion.

>>1684
>Somehow or other I would have to earn my own bread.
Alone against the world.
>I am grateful that I was thrown into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to know the people for whom I was afterwards to fight.
Wise, prophetic.

>>1688
>the troublesome life of the regular worker
Yup, he experienced that life first hand and could understand better than most people. Respect.
>I feel like i'm dissecting a philosophy book at this point (beyond good and evil, anyone?)
I agree, Adolf had a "vision" that is far deeper than mine. Higher IQ may be called.
I am following your post while reading Mein Kampf along, and this section of the book needs to be read at least twice to fully try to get its significance, at least for me.

>>1689
>WELTANSCHAUUNG.
Weltanschauung: Generally translated as worldview, the word means much more than a mere “view of the world”; and it suggests something other than a familiar, homespun philosophy with folksy conclusions about the meaning of life.

>>1694
>>1695
You go too fast for the common layman. This book is not a superficial novel, but an ideological opus of deep significance.
Slow down poner, just a bit to catch up.

>>1698
Sorry poner, maybe 10 Pagés a day is too much? Por do you want a day to catch up?
I do realize it is hard to get in for those that just started too..

>>1697
Nice, someone else following along
It Is quite a book, honestly i didnt expect this when i just started, theres so much information compressed here that i can only compare it to philosophy books, it Is really similar at times.
Truly Adolf was a wise man, sad thing he lost the war. by reading this one realizes why they fear nazism so much, imagine if everyone was exposed yo this View of the world. Mein Kampf Is a giant redpill

>>1699
>Por do you want a day to catch up?
Yes, it would be appreciated.

>>1699
It is the first time in years I'm really reading a
book as well. This is the first time for me reading
a philosophically significant book in my life. But
for me, I'm following along quite nicely, I'm reading
the book in German though.
>spoiler
Truly makes me think. Citations could be used for
redpills, without revealing the original text of
course.

>>1700
Alright, we'll have a review on the previous chapters today, resuming friday and taking a break on the weekend.
We can leave no willing poner behind after all, and as >>1697
>this section of the book needs to be read at least twice to fully try to get its significance, at least for me.
This might prove itself to be heavy, so this will be good for all.
>>1701
Nice, sounds like you're a natural bookworm, anon
You should totally use that trait in the future.
>Citations could be used for redpills, without revealing the original text of course.
Good idea for redpilling larp nazis into actual nationalism and disproving lies thrown around to make the führer look bad.
Plus some quotes here are really relatable, they would alone get people interested in looking for the source.

>>1694
Lets compare then shall we?
>current version
Chapter 1 In The Home Of My Parents
IT HAS turned out fortunate for me to-day that destiny appointed Braunau-on-the-Inn to be my birthplace. For that little town is situated just on the frontier between those two States the reunion of which seems, at least to us of the younger generation, a task to which we should devote our lives and in the pursuit of which every possible means should be employed.
>Ford Version
1. CHILDHOOD HOME
Today, I am pleased that Fate chose the city of Braunau on the Inn of Northern Austria as my birthplace. This little town is on the frontier of the two German states whose reunion, at least for those of us from the younger generation, will be the accomplishment of a lifetime. We must do everything we can to reunite these states.

>>1703
Well, best way to decide would be asking i guess;
>>1701
>I'm reading
the book in German though.
Which Is the most accurate moin germanon?

>>1704
I'm reading this one:
https://mk.christogenea.org/_files/Mein_Kampf_German.pdf
Not sure if this is the best version though. It released in 1943 as a single book containing both chapters

>>1705
Well shizzles

I'll do some research and comparsion between the two and the original when i get home, one does look shorter than the other but i would like to see how they stand against the original; To compare them to the actual intent of the author.

>>1704
The Ford version seems more precise. It is written, phrased, and translated like a native English speaker, as evidenced by the comparison above. Its not about which is more accurate, I'm sure they're all accurate, its about how cumbersome the translation is.

>>1706
>one looks shorter
Yeah the German one probably has longer sentences, so I'm on page 64 right now, not 60

>>1708
B-but anon we're on page 50!

>>1707
Dont worry anon, today we get a recap (so everyone catches up) anyways so ill compare the two to the original and also use ford's for the recap.

I might switch to it but everyone Is free to read whichever they like.

>>1709
>we're on page 50
oh

Alright, welcome back and be prepared for here comes a WoT

>I know that men are more rarely won over by the written word than they are by the spoken word and that every great movement in this world owes its growth to great speakers, not to great writers.

With that quote, let us start the recap of the previous pages;
>Austria must return to the great German mother country. Not for economic reasons. No, the economics are unimportant. Even if it did not make economic sense, it must still take place because common blood belongs in one common realm.
Within the first pages of the book (1-10) we get to know Hitler’s childhood and how he got his interest in war, books and even painting, as well as some insight in what it was like to live in Austria at that particular period.
One of the biggest points of the chapter is Hitler's confrontation with his father about which job young Hitler should pursue.

On the next pages (10-15) we first get to know his favourite school topics, how he became a nationalist, what it means to be a nationalist, how to truly learn history and a general idea of the importance of a nationalist country.

Then (15-18) we get to Hitler pursuing his dream as a painter, traveling to the city of Vienna and attempt to enter "The academy" just for then to get rejected as they saw him a better draftsman than painter.
Since he didn't had the required certification, Hitler’s dream was suddenly shattered as he could not study painting nor join the building School of Technology.
Then finally, after losing both his parents, traveling to the city of Vienna once again to pursue his new goal, becoming an architect.

And now (18-20) we get to Hitler slowly getting redpilled both on Marxism and Jews as well as the general situation of Germany at that time (decadent that is)

From 20 to 26, we get some extensive observations on the poor class, their habits and the vicious circle they are trapped in, as well as some comments on Social democracy.

At 26 till 30 we get a closer look at Social democracy, get an idea of what being well-read actually means and learn that, at the time, Hitler didn't had much interest in politics.

Then (30-36) we get an explanation on the social democratic tactics of control and how they exploit the lower (poor) class to get to their objective, how the real objective of the movement is not to improve said class but to treat is as a pawn and how even at that time manipulation of the media was used against the population.
We also get some insight on worker unions, why they are necessary and why they might get corrupted.

At 36 up to 37, Hitler starts talking about the Jews and how he at first was bluepilled about their existence, seeing them as religious persons wrongly discriminated.

From 38 to 40 we get a closer look at the press using cheap tricks to manipulate the masses, at page 39 we learn about the antisemitic party of Vienna, which at first Hitler didn't seem to like.

This is page 50 in Murphy's and page 38 in Ford's.

>>1707
For now, i'll stick to reading both books, Ford's seems to get to important points faster but Murphy's by being softer on the delivery transmits a more feets on the ground vibe, which i think might come useful in the future.
Quotes here will most likely come from both but anons should probably wanna stick to one of the two to not burnout.

Pretty awesome that I just happened to have started reading excerpts of Mein Kampf (Ford translation) on VRChat, partially as a joke and partially to read it for the first time myself. I'm not very far into it but maybe this weekend I can catch up?

Have a little message from Cicada 3301 as a little thank you for the folks in this thread.

>>1712
>maybe this weekend I can catch up?
You can do it anon, depending on the book you only have to go through 38 pages!
Also
>A piece of metal
Actually you get three pieces of metal you will probably never wear
If you die you get like one but really big piece of metal, a flag and a nice coffin

>>1713
Well, to be fair, the message was specifically about Americans I believe.

>>1694
>>1695
Reading this, I am doing a comparison between that Social Democracy in the 20s and 30s and modern Liberalism, and how workers' unions are again an extension of it. Also the free press is not such at all, but it can be rightfully called again judenpresse. It is like history repeats itself.

Welcome back ladies and gentlecolts, i apologize for the late post but without further wait, lets start.
>A Jew can never be rescued from his fixed notions.
Edition

We start out with our boy Hitler quite mad at the pappers after realizing they might have a little More bias than expected;
>I was disgusted at the way in which this Vienna Press salaamed
obsequiously before the meanest steed belonging to the Habsburg royal equipage and
went off into wild ecstacies of delight if the nag wagged its tail in response. >At the
same time these newspapers took up an attitude of anxiety in matters that concerned
the German Emperor, trying to cloak their enmity by the serious air they gave
themselves. Naturally
they protested that they had no intention of mixing in Germany's internal affairs--God
forbid! They pretended that by touching a delicate spot in such a friendly way they
were fulfilling a duty that devolved upon them by reason of the mutual alliance
between the two countries and at the same time discharging their obligations of
journalistic truthfulness. Having thus excused themselves about tenderly touching a
sore spot, they bored with the finger ruthlessly into the wound.
From here, we get to learn on how Hitler went to know the anti-semitic movement (the Christian Socialist Movement) which at first he discarded as the bluepill was too strong.
>I now often turned to the VOLKSBLATT, which was much smaller in size but which treated such subjects more decently. I was not in accord with its sharp anti-Semitic tone; but again and again I found that its arguments gave me
grounds for serious thought.
In this chapter we basically learn a lot about how with enough research Hitler became redpilled
>My ideas about anti-Semitism changed also in the course of time, but that was the
change which I found most difficult. It cost me a greater internal conflict with myself,
and it was only after a struggle between reason and sentiment that victory began to be
decided in favour of the former. Two years later sentiment rallied to the side of reasons
and became a faithful guardian and counsellor.
While also learning about the favourite social strategy of the juice
>What soon gave me cause for very serious consideration were the activities of the Jews
in certain branches of life, into the mystery of which I penetrated little by little. Was
there any shady undertaking, any form of foulness, especially in cultural life, in which at least one Jew did not participate? On putting the probing knife carefully to that kind
of abscess one immediately discovered, like a maggot in a putrescent body, a little Jew
who was often blinded by the sudden light.

>Should the Jew, with the aid of his Marxist creed, triumph over the people of this world,
his Crown will be the funeral wreath of mankind, and this planet will once again follow
its orbit through ether, without any human life on its surface, as it did millions of years
ago.

And with this quote, we have the end of todays post;
>And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty
Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord.

I am sorry for the short, rough post today, i had to writte it on my phone because busy day. Have a nice weekend break, anon

>>1716
Shit, i fucked up the formatting
i hate phoneposting

>Volk
Mein Kampf is about the previous war, it was before The Pill. Don't forget to update your copy with additional volk damage done by The Pill. And the volk paid cash for that damage too.

>>1719
Correlation =/= causation
Make a thread about it If you want to disuss the effecs of the pill; This is horse book discussion/reading

>Op is 1(one) day behind.
Hey guys, hope you're still reading despite the lack of posts yesterday.
I ran into some trouble (no pc for a few days) for such i would have to phonepost and that looks like shit.
So normalposting will most likely be resumed on monday, till then i'll keep on reading and hope you too do the same; By monday i'll post quotes from all the pages that should have been read (50 since weekend Is free)

So keep on reading, poners, see you on monday.

Jawohl mein Leser.

Welcome back to this magnificent event, gentlecolts.
>WELTANSCHAUUNG Edition

Today is a very special day, for today we'll be getting 50 pages (that is 5 posts) since i ran into some PC issues.
Without further ado, let us start;

We start out with the führer addressing some basic needs for the wannabe politician:
>GENERALLY SPEAKING a man should not publicly take part in politics before he has reached the age of thirty
>A man must first acquire a fund of general ideas and fit them together so as to form an organic structure of personal thought or outlook on life--a WELTANSCHAUUNG.
>Then he will have that mental equipment without which he cannot form his own judgments on particular questions of the day
>Such a man is now qualified, at least subjectively, to take his part in the political conduct of public affairs.
Then we get some more thoughts on the matter.
>If these pre-requisite conditions are not fulfilled, and if a man should enter political life without this equipment, he will run a twofold risk. In the first place, he may find during the course of events that the stand which he originally took in regard to some essential question was wrong. He will now have to abandon his former position or else stick to it against his better knowledge and riper wisdom and after his reason and convictions have already proved it untenable.

Finishing with that, we get some more insight in german history and general thoughts on the city of vienna and what was leading to it's decay back in the day.
>Ten million people cannot permanently hold together a State of fifty millions, composed of different and convicting nationalities, unless certain definite pre-requisite conditions are at hand while there is still time to avail of them.

Then we get some insight on the importance of a homogeneous population and the importance of one unified language for a nation.

>>1784
To start out on this part, we get some important quotes
>Up to the time that universal suffrage by secret ballot was introduced the German representatives had a majority in the Parliament. This situation gave cause for anxiety because the Social-Democratic fraction of the German element could not be relied upon when national questions were at stake.
>In matters that were of critical concern for the German element, the Social-Democrats always took up an anti-German stand because they were afraid of losing their followers among the other national groups.
>The introduction of universal suffrage put an end even to the purely numerical predominance of the German element.
>The way was now clear for the further 'de-Germanization' of the Austrian State.

>I soon became enraged by the hideous spectacle that met my eyes. Several hundred representatives were there to discuss a problem of great economical importance and each representative had the right to have his say
>The intellectual level of the debate was quite low.(...) Some times the debaters did not make themselves intelligible at all. Several of those present did not speak German but only their Slav vernaculars or dialects. Thus I had the opportunity of hearing with my own ears what I had been hitherto acquainted with only through reading the newspapers. A turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling against one another, with a pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to a sense of its dignity by friendly appeals, exhortations, and grave warnings.
>I could not refrain from laughing.
>I listened to the debates, as far as they could be understood, and I studied the more or less intelligent features of those 'elect' representatives of the various nationalities which composed that motley State. Gradually I formed my own ideas about what I saw.

>Democracy, as practised in Western Europe to-day, is the fore-runner of Marxism. In fact, the latter would not be conceivable without the former. Democracy is the breeding-ground in which the bacilli of the Marxist world pest can grow and spread.
>I am more than grateful to Fate that this problem came to my notice when I was still in Vienna; If I had been in Berlin when I first discovered what an illogical thing this institution is which we call Parliament, I might easily have gone to the other extreme and believed that the salvation of the people and the Empire could be secured only by restrengthening the principle of imperial authority. Those who had this belief did not discern the tendencies of their time and were blind to the aspirations of the people.

>Since this problem was specially difficult in regard to Austria, I was forced while still quite young to go into the essentials of the whole question more thoroughly than I otherwise should have done.

>Does anybody honestly believe that human progress originates in the composite brain of the majority and not in the brain of the individual personality?

>The parliamentary principle of vesting legislative power in the decision of the majority rejects the authority of the individual and puts a numerical quota of anonymous heads in its place. In doing so it contradicts the aristrocratic principle, which is a fundamental law of nature; but, of course, we must remember that in this decadent era of ours the aristrocratic principle need not be thought of as incorporated in the upper ten thousand.

>The inevitable result is that the intellectual level of the ruling class sinks steadily. One can easily forecast how much the nation and State are bound to suffer from such a condition of affairs, provided one does not belong to that same class of 'leaders'.
>The parliamentary régime in the old Austria was the very archetype of the institution as I have described it.

>>1785
>There is a better chance of seeing a camel pass through the eye of a needle than of seeing a really great man 'discovered' through an election.
>Whatever has happened in history above the level of the average of the broad public has mostly been due to the driving force of an individual personality.
>If we consider the fact that the problems which have to be discussed and solved belong to the most varied and diverse fields we can very well realize how inefficient a governing system must be which entrusts the right of decision to a mass assembly in which only very few possess the knowledge and experience such as would qualify them to deal with the matters that have to be settled. The most important economic measures are submitted to a tribunal in which not more than one-tenth of the members have studied the elements of economics. This means that final authority is vested in men who are utterly devoid of any preparatory training which might make them competent to decide on the questions at issue.
He keeps on talking about the cracks on the democratic system for a long while
>That is the reason why this brand of democracy has become a tool in the hand of that race which, because of the inner purposes it wishes to attain, must shun the open light, as it has always done and always will do. Only a Jew can praise an institution which is as corrupt and false as himself.

>As a contrast to this kind of democracy we have the German democracy, which is a true democracy; for here the leader is freely chosen and is obliged to accept full responsibility for all his actions and omissions. The problems to be dealt with are not put to the vote of the majority; but they are decided upon by the individual, and as a guarantee of responsibility for those decisions he pledges all he has in the world and even his life.

>Such were the views I formed after two years of attendance at the sessions of the Viennese Parliament. Then I went there no more.

Then we get some history on the house of hadsburg, culminating in
>After the great war of 1870-71 the House of Habsburg set to work with all its determination to exterminate the dangerous German element--about whose inner feelings and attitude there could be no doubt--slowly but deliberately. I use the word exterminate, because that alone expresses what must have been the final result of the Slavophile policy. Then it was that the fire of rebellion blazed up among the people whose extermination had been decreed. That fire was such as had never been witnessed in modern German history.

>For the first time nationalists and patriots were transformed into rebels.

>Generally speaking, we must not forget that the highest aim of human existence is not the maintenance of a State of Government but rather the conservation of the race.

>The rise and decline of the Pan-German movement on the one hand and the marvellous progress of the Christian-Socialist Party on the other, became a classic object of study for me, and as such they played an important part in the development of my own views.
>When I began to compare those two movements Fate placed before me the best means of understanding the causes of this puzzling problem. The action of Fate in this case was hastened by my own straitened circumstances

>I shall begin my analysis with an account of the two men who must be regarded as the founders and leaders of the two movements. These were George von Schönerer and Dr. Karl Lueger.

>They lived lives of immaculate and irreproachable probity amidst the miasma of all-round political corruption.

>When I compared their respective abilities Schönerer seemed to me a better and more profound thinker on fundamental problems. He foresaw the inevitable downfall of the Austrian State more clearly and accurately than anyone else. If this warning in regard to the Habsburg Empire had been heeded in Germany the disastrous world war, which involved Germany against the whole of Europe, would never have taken place.
>And herein lay Dr. Lueger's special talent. He had a rare gift of insight into human nature and he was very careful not to take men as something better than they were in reality.
>All ideas that this Pan-German had were right in the abstract, but he did not have the forcefulness or understanding necessary to put his ideas across to the broad masses. He was not able to formulate them so that they could be easily grasped by the masses.

>In all this Dr. Lueger was the opposite of Schönerer. His profound knowledge of human nature enabled him to form a correct estimate of the various social forces and it saved him from under-rating the power of existing institutions. And it was perhaps this very quality which enabled him to utilize those institutions as a means to serve the purposes of his policy.
>The aims which this really eminent man decided to pursue were intensely practical. He wished to conquer Vienna, the heart of the Monarchy. It was from Vienna that the last pulses of life beat through the diseased and worn-out body of the decrepit Empire. If the heart could be made healthier the others parts of the body were bound to revive. That idea was correct in principle; but the time within which it could be applied in practice was strictly limited. And that was the man's weak point.
>His achievements as Burgomaster of the City of Vienna are immortal, in the best sense of the word. But all that could not save the Monarchy. It came too late.

I really need some sleep so i'll keep posting later
I didnt even write comments this time

I'd like to present a contribution of my own to this thread:
[align=center]Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)[/align]
In both a quick little PDF conversion and my own EPUB original.

Psychological books are a weakness of mine, and this one is one of my recent favourites. I'd like to at least start a little read-along of this one, see if I can't ignite some interest and to justify re-reading it myself.

>>1788
Before the book even gets to the introductory chapter, it presents us with two fantastic quotes:
We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.
[align=right]—George Orwell (1946)[/align]
A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers.
[align=right]—Lao Tzu[/align]

And then, we meet the introductory chapter of the book:
Knaves, Fools, Villains, and Hypocrites: How Do They Live with Themselves?

Which then opens with four more quotes:

Mistakes were quite possibly made by the administrations in which I served.
[align=right]Henry Kissinger, responding to charges that he committed war crimes in his role in the United States' actions in Vietnam, Cambodia, and South America in the 1970s[/align]
If, in hindsight, we also discover that mistakes may have been made ... I am deeply sorry.
[align=right]—Cardinal Edward Egan of New York, referring to the bishops who failed to deal with child molesters among the Catholic clergy[/align]
Mistakes were made in communicating to the public and customers about the ingredients in our French fries and hash browns.
[align=right]—McDonald's, apologizing to Hindus and other vegetarians for failing to inform them that the "natural flavoring" in their potatoes contained beef byproducts[/align]
This week's question: How can you tell when a presidential scandal is serious?
A. The president's poll numbers drop.
B. The press goes after him.
C. The opposition calls for his impeachment.
D. His own party members turn on him.
E. Or the White House says, "mistakes were made"
[align=right]—Bill Schneider on CNN's Inside Politics[/align]

Finally, we get to the corpus, the real meat of things. The authors lay the groundwork for the titular self-justification in these next few parts, and as you'll likely notice going through this, they're very heavy on using examples to drive their points home. I'll do my best to paraphrase some of these examples when they come up, but most of the time I'll just wind up Ctrl-C'ing a lot of things, since the writing in this is very good at conveying it's full meaning without me to flub it up.
I'll start us off with a good 2/3rds of the introduction chapter.

> AS FALLIBLE HUMAN BEINGS, all of us share the impulse to justify ourselves and avoid taking responsibility for any actions that turn out to be harmful, immoral, or stupid. Most of us will never be in a position to make decisions affecting the lives and deaths of millions of people, but whether the consequences of our mistakes are trivial or tragic, on a small scale or a national canvas, most of us find it difficult, if not impossible, to say,
> "I was wrong; I made a terrible mistake."
> The higher the stakes—emotional, financial, moral—the greater the difficulty.

> It goes further than that: Most people, when directly confronted by evidence that they are wrong, do not change their point of view or course of action but justify it even more tenaciously. Even irrefutable evidence is rarely enough to pierce the mental armor of self-justification.
> When we began working on this book, the poster boy for "tenacious clinging to a discredited belief" was George W. Bush. Bush was wrong in his claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, he was wrong in claiming that Saddam was linked with Al Qaeda, he was wrong in predicting that Iraqis would be dancing joyfully in the streets to receive the American soldiers, he was wrong in predicting that the conflict would be over quickly, he was wrong in his gross underestimate of the financial cost of the war, and he was most famously wrong in his photo-op speech six weeks after the invasion began, when he announced (under a banner reading MISSION ACCOMPLISHED) that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

> [ ... ] In 2006, with Iraq sliding into civil war and sixteen American intelligence agencies having issued a report that the occupation of Iraq had increased Islamic radicalism and the risk of terrorism, Bush said to a delegation of conservative columnists, "I've never been more convinced that the decisions I made are the right decisions." [1] Of course, Bush had to justify the war his administration pursued in Iraq; he had too much invested in that course of action to do otherwise—thousands of deaths and, according to a conservative estimate from the American Enterprise Institute in 2006, at least a trillion dollars.
> Accordingly, when he was proved wrong in his original reasons for the war, he found new ones: getting rid of a "very bad guy," fighting terrorists, promoting peace in the Middle East, bringing democracy to Iraq, increasing the security of the United States, and finishing "the task [our troops] gave their lives for." In other words, we must continue the war because we began the war.

>>1789
> Politicians are the most visible of self-justifiers, which is why they provide such juicy examples. They have refined the art of speaking in the passive voice; when their backs are to the wall they will reluctantly acknowledge error, but not responsibility. Oh all right, mistakes were made, but not by me; by someone else, who shall remain nameless. [2] When Henry Kissinger said that the "administration" may have made mistakes, he was sidestepping the fact that as national security adviser and secretary of state (simultaneously) he, in effect, was the administration. This self-justification allowed him to accept the Nobel Peace Prize with a straight face and a clear conscience.

> We look at the behavior of politicians with amusement or alarm or horror, but, psychologically, what they do is no different in kind, though certainly in consequence, from what most of us have done at one time or another in our private lives.
> We stay in an unhappy relationship or merely one that is going nowhere because, after all, we invested so much time in making it work.
> We stay in a deadening job way too long because we look for all the reasons to justify staying and are unable to clearly assess the benefits of leaving.
> We buy a lemon of a car because it looks gorgeous, spend thousands of dollars to keep the damn thing running, and then we spend even more to justify that investment.
> We self-righteously create a rift with a friend or relative over some real or imagined slight, yet see ourselves as the pursuers of peace—if only the other side would apologize and make amends.

> Self-justification is not the same thing as lying or making excuses. Obviously, people will lie or invent fanciful stories to duck the fury of a lover, parent, or employer; to keep from being sued or sent to prison; to avoid losing face; to avoid losing a job; to stay in power. But there is a big difference between what a guilty man says to the public to convince them of something he knows is untrue ...
> ("I did not have sex with that woman")
> ("I am not a crook")
> ... and the process of persuading himself that he did a good thing. In the former situation, he is lying and knows he is lying to save his own skin. In the latter, he is lying to himself. That is why self-justification is more powerful and more dangerous than the explicit lie. It allows people to convince themselves that what they did was the best thing they could have done. In fact, come to think of it, it was the right thing.
> "There was nothing else I could have done."
> "Actually, it was a brilliant solution to the problem."
> "I was doing the best for the nation."
> "Those bastards deserved what they got."
> "I'm entitled."

> Self-justification not only minimizes our mistakes and bad decisions; it is also the reason that everyone can see a hypocrite in action except the hypocrite. It allows us to create a distinction between our moral lapses and someone else's, and to blur the discrepancy between our actions and our moral convictions. Aldous Huxley was right when he said, "There is probably no such thing as a conscious hypocrite." [ ... ]

Remember when I said the authors are heavy on examples? The authors then go on to offer more instances of dissonance and doublethink employed in your (possible) day-to-day lives.
> For example, have you ever done a little finessing of expenses on income taxes? That probably compensates for the legitimate expenses you forgot about, and besides, you'd be a fool not to, considering that everybody else does.
> Did you fail to report some extra cash income? You're entitled, given all the money that the government wastes on pork-barrel projects and programs you detest.
> Have you been writing personal e-mails and surfing the Net at your office when you should have been tending to business? Those are perks of the job, and besides, it's your own protest against those stupid company rules, and besides, your boss doesn't appreciate all the extra work you do.
There's even a real, non-hypothetical example where an ethics and philosophy professor smudges ink on the bed of his hotel room by mistake, then justifies it to himself:
> "One of them told me to stop with the moral fanaticism. He argued, 'The management expects such accidents and builds their cost into the price of the rooms.' It did not take long to persuade me that there was no need to trouble the manager. I reasoned that if I had spilled this ink in a family-owned bed-and-breakfast, then I would have immediately reported the accident, but that this was a chain hotel, and yadda yadda yadda went the hoodwinking process. [ ... ]"

Then the authors go on to predict that some of you are going to justify yourselves by proclaiming that your justifications are actually true, and not a total load. To which they respond:
> Whether those claims are true or false is irrelevant. When we cross these lines, we are justifying behavior that we know is wrong precisely so that we can continue to see ourselves as honest people and not criminals or thieves. Whether the behavior in question is a small thing like spilling ink on a hotel bedspread, or a big thing like embezzlement, the mechanism of self-justification is the same.

>>1790
The next section of the intro goes on to indict memory as another source of justification, along with a whole lot of detailed examples. But I'm going to stop myself right here, lest I eclipse the entire thread.
I hope this partial look at the intro has you intrigued, because the intro is just a taster for the really, really interesting stuff later on. The book has 8 chapters in total, is replete with examples (and citations!), and in order to fully explore the ways we justify ourselves, the chapters go over:
Cognitive Dissonance
Pride and Prejudice
Memory
Bad science & Le Skepticism
Police & Prosecution
Failed marriages
Causing and receiving harm

Some of the examples are absolutely fantastic: LA's "Museum of Tolerance" has a set of two doors, "Prejudiced" and "Unprejudiced", the latter of which is locked and you can't go through. A set of four Jews were angrily banging on the "Unprejudiced" door, demanding that some goy let them in.
While it's obvious the writers swing more to the left, including that example was ballsy, and they do a surprisingly good job of excising their biases.
In the spirit of "trust but verify", every time there's a citation ([1], [2], etc.), I'll attach a .txt of the citations, archived and paraphrased, for your perusal. Just so I don't break the flow too badly.

Should I continue?

>In order to assure the possibility of carrying through a really strenuous struggle, the Pan-German Movement should have devoted its efforts to winning over the masses. The failure to do this left the movement from the very beginning without the elementary impulse which such a wave needs if it is not to ebb within a short while.
Even if it is the obvious, it still needs to be pointed out.

>The Press either ignored them totally or so mutilated their speeches that the logical consistency was destroyed or the meaning twisted round in such a way that the public got only a very wrong impression regarding the aims of the new movement. What the individual members said was not of importance. The important matter was what people read as coming from them. This consisted of mere extracts which had been torn out of the context of the speeches and gave an impression of incoherent nonsense, which indeed was purposely meant.

>A man who fights only for his own existence has not much left over for the service of the community.

>If a movement should offer a large number of positions and offices that are easily accessible the number of unworthy candidates admitted to membership will be constantly on the increase and eventually a day will come when there will be such a preponderance of political profiteers among the membership of a successful Party that the combatants who bore the brunt of the battle in the earlier stages of the movement can now scarcely recognize their own Party and may be ejected by the later arrivals as unwanted ballast.
The replacement effect but a hundread years ago.

>The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of glowing passion; but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. It is only through the capacity for passionate feeling that chosen leaders can wield the power of the word which, like hammer blows, will open the door to the hearts of the people.
Some golden quotes this time

>A movement which has great ends to achieve must carefully guard against the danger of losing contact with the masses of the people. Every problem encountered must be examined from this viewpoint first of all and the decision to be made must always be in harmony with this principle.
Important

>The movement must avoid everything which might lessen or weaken its power of influencing the masses; not from demagogical motives but because of the simple fact that no great idea, no matter how sublime and exalted it may appear, can be realized in practice without the effective power which resides in the popular masses. Stern reality alone must mark the way to the goal. To be unwilling to walk the road of hardship means, only too often in this world, the total renunciation of our aims and purposes, whether that renunciation be consciously willed or not.
Also important, on the same topic.

>If there had been a proper appreciation (by the Pan-German Movement) of the tremendous powers of endurance always shown by the masses in revolutionary movements a different attitude towards the social problem would have been taken, and also a different policy in the matter of propaganda. Then the centre of gravity of the movement would not have been transferred to the Parliament but would have remained in the workshops and in the streets.
Speaking about the fall of the Pan-German Movement

>Any attempt at a national revival will be opposed if the preliminary condition of such a revival be that a bad and pernicious regime must first of all be overthrown; because such an action will be considered as a violation of the 'Authority of the State'.
>In the eyes of those who take that standpoint, the 'Authority of the State' is not a means which is there to serve an end but rather, to the mind of the dogmatic believer in objectivity, it is an end in itself.
>Such people would raise an outcry, if, for instance, anyone should attempt to set up a dictatorship, even though the man responsible for it were Frederick the Great and even though the politicians for the time being were small and incompetent men.
>To such sticklers for abstract principles the law of democracy is more sacred than the welfare of the nation. In accordance with his principles, one of these gentry will defend the worst kind of tyranny, though it may be leading a people to ruin, because it is the fleeting embodiment of the 'Authority of the State', and another will reject even a highly beneficent government if it should happen not to be in accord with his notion of 'democracy'.
>In the same way our German pacifist will remain silent while the nation is groaning under an oppression which is being exercised by a sanguinary military power, when this state of affairs gives rise to active resistance; because such resistance means the employment of physical force, which is against the spirit of the pacifist associations.
>The German International Socialist may be rooked and plundered by his comrades in all the other countries of the world in the name of 'solidarity', but he responds with fraternal kindness and never thinks of trying to get his own back, or even of defending himself. And why? Because he is a German.
"Because he is a g*rman"

>Such conduct is not the manifestation of a malicious intent, nor is it the outcome of orders given from 'above', as we say; but such a lack of national grit and determination is due to defects in our educational system.

>It may be unpleasant to dwell on such truths, but if something is to be changed we must start by diagnosing the disease.

>Do you feel that Providence has called you to proclaim the Truth to the world? If so, then go and do it. But you ought to have the courage to do it directly and not use some political party as your mouthpiece; for in this way you shirk your vocation. In the place of something that now exists and is bad put something else that is better and will last into the future.

>(...) do not try to reach the goal by the roundabout way of a political party if you are not brave enough to fight with your visor lifted.
This is why the left loves to ruin people's lives by doxxing them, they use those people as examples.

>for psychological reasons alone, it is not expedient to place two or more sets of adversaries before the masses--since that leads to a complete splitting up of their fighting strength--they would have concentrated the full and undivided force of their attack against a single adversary.
Never fight two fronts at the same time

>One learns history in order to be able to apply its lessons to the present time and whoever fails to do this cannot pretend to be a political leader. In reality he is quite a superficial person or, as is mostly the case, a conceited simpleton whose good intentions cannot make up for his incompetence in practical affairs.
Why are we even reading this in the first place

The art of leadership:
>The art of leadership, consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention into sections.
>The more the militant energies of the people are directed towards one objective the more will new recruits join the movement, attracted by the magnetism of its unified action, and thus the striking power will be all the more enhanced.
>The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to the one category; for weak and wavering natures among a leader's following may easily begin to be dubious about the justice of their own cause if they have to face different enemies.
>As soon as the vacillating masses find themselves facing an opposition that is made up of different groups of enemies their sense of objectivity will be aroused and they will ask how is it that all the others can be in the wrong and they themselves, and their movement, alone in the right.
>Such a feeling would be the first step towards a paralysis of their fighting vigour.
A sprinkle of manipulation there, just for good measure

>(...)many people could not understand this kind of anti-Semitism and therefore refused to take part in it.
sad violin

>If the Christian-Socialist Party, together with its shrewd judgment in regard to the worth of the popular masses, had only judged rightly also on the importance of the racial problem--which was properly grasped by the Pan-German Movement--and if this party had been really nationalist; or if the Pan-German leaders, on the other hand, in addition to their correct judgment of the Jewish problem and of the national idea, had adopted the practical wisdom of the Christian-Socialist Party, and particularly their attitude towards Socialism--then a movement would have developed which, in my opinion, might at that time have successfully altered the course of German destiny.
So much observation and study went into Hitler's worldview, and people believe he just dropped out of art school and "invented" antisemitism.
It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic.

So, in this new chapter, hitler arrived at Munich (1912) and continued to make money as a painter while studying.
>A German city! I said to myself. How different to Vienna. It was with a feeling of disgust that my imagination reverted to that Babylon of races

>At that time I knew the condition of affairs in the Austrian State better than the professional diplomats. Blindfolded, as nearly always, these diplomats stumbled along on their way to disaster.
Someone would be called a "conspiracy theorist" nowadays...

>By leaving the process of procreation unchecked and by submitting the individual to the hardest preparatory tests in life, Nature selects the best from an abundance of single elements and stamps them as fit to live and carry on the conservation of the species. But man restricts the procreative faculty and strives obstinately to keep alive at any cost whatever has once been born.
>The dear little ape of an all-mighty father is delighted to see and hear that he has succeeded in effecting a numerical restriction; but he would be very displeased if told that this, his system, brings about a degeneration in personal quality.
About population control.
Now i wonder how would population control work under hitler's regime.

>Nature knows no political frontiers. She begins by establishing life on this globe and then watches the free play of forces. Those who show the greatest courage and industry are the children nearest to her heart and they will be granted the sovereign right of existence.
>If a nation confines itself to 'internal colonization' while other races are perpetually increasing their territorial annexations all over the globe, that nation will be forced to restrict the numerical growth of its population at a time when the other nations are increasing theirs.
>Now it is unfortunately true that only too often the best nations--or, to speak more exactly, the only really cultured nations, who at the same time are the chief bearers of human progress--have decided, in their blind pacifism, to refrain from the acquisition of new territory and to be content with 'internal colonization.' But at the same time nations of inferior quality succeed in getting hold of large spaces for colonization all over the globe.
>Should that state of affairs continue, then the world will one day be possessed by that portion of mankind which is culturally inferior but more active and energetic.
Now i get it

>Nobody can doubt that this world will one day be the scene of dreadful struggles for existence on the part of mankind. In the end the instinct of self-preservation alone will triumph. Before its consuming fire this so-called humanitarianism, which connotes only a mixture of fatuous timidity and self-conceit, will melt away as under the March sunshine. Man has become great through perpetual struggle. In perpetual peace his greatness must decline.

Today we get a lot of talk about austria, the triple alliance, the problems of replacing war with economy and the situation of germany in middle of all this trouble;Not a lot of really big quotes over here!

>In any case, the policy of oppression against the German population in Austria should not have been allowed to be carried on and to grow stronger from year to year; for the value of Austria as an ally could be assured only by upholding the German element there. But that course was not followed.
>Nothing was dreaded so much as the possibility of an armed conflict; but finally, and at a most unfavourable moment, the conflict had to be faced and accepted. They thought to cut loose from the cords of destiny, but destiny held them fast.
>They dreamt of maintaining a world peace and woke up to find themselves in a world war.

>Only children could believe that sweet and unctuous expressions of goodness and persistent avowals of peaceful intentions could get them their bananas through this 'friendly competition between the nations', with the prospect of never having to fight for them.

>I can vividly recall to mind the astonished looks of my comrades when they found themselves personally face to face for the first time with the Tommies in Flanders.

>-the 'uninitiated' layman could do nothing but observe how the 'elect' were marching straight ahead towards disaster and enticing their beloved people to follow them, as the rats followed the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
And that is today's special quote, post your favorites!

>It (The state) does not arise from a compact made between contracting parties, within a certain delimited territory, for the purpose of serving economic ends. The State is a community of living beings who have kindred physical and spiritual natures, organized for the purpose of assuring the conservation of their own kind and to help towards fulfilling those ends which Providence has assigned to that particular race or racial branch. Therein, and therein alone, lie the purpose and meaning of a State.
On the nature of the state/what the state is supposed to be

>The Jewish State has never been delimited in space. It has been spread all over the world, without any frontiers whatsoever, and has always been constituted from the membership of one race exclusively. That is why the Jews have always formed a State within the State. One of the most ingenious tricks ever devised has been that of sailing the Jewish ship-of-state under the flag of Religion and thus securing that tolerance which Aryans are always ready to grant to different religious faiths. But the Mosaic Law is really nothing else than the doctrine of the preservation of the Jewish race. Therefore this Law takes in all spheres of sociological, political and economic science which have a bearing on the main end in view.
About the juice

>The instinct for the preservation of one's own species is the primary cause that leads to the formation of human communities. Hence the State is a racial organism, and not an economic organization.

>The sacrifice of the individual existence is necessary in order to assure the conservation of the race. Hence it is that the most essential condition for the establishment and maintenance of a State is a certain feeling of solidarity, wounded in an identity of character and race and in a resolute readiness to defend these at all costs.
Some more quotes about the satate, dangerously close to gommunism

>As long as the German people, in the War of 1914, continued to believe that they were fighting for ideals they stood firm. As soon as they were told that they were fighting only for their daily bread they began to give up the struggle.
>As soon as man is called upon to struggle for purely material causes he will avoid death as best he can; for death and the enjoyment of the material fruits of a victory are quite incompatible concepts. The frailest woman will become a heroine when the life of her own child is at stake. And only the will to save the race and native land or the State, which offers protection to the race, has in all ages been the urge which has forced men to face the weapons of their enemies.
And some quotes on men and war.

>During the years 1912-1914 I used to ponder perpetually on those problems which related to the policy of the Triple Alliance and the economic policy then being pursued by the German Empire. Once again I came to the conclusion that the only explanation of this enigma lay in the operation of that ((force)) which I had already become acquainted with in Vienna, though from a different angle of vision. The force to which I refer was the Marxist teaching and WELTANSCHAUUNG and its organized action throughout the nation.
Can you spot the tiny edit i made?

>I studied Bismarck's exceptional legislation in its original concept, its operation and its results. Gradually I formed a basis for my own opinions, which has proved as solid as a rock, so that never since have I had to change my attitude towards the general problem. I also made a further and more thorough analysis of the relations between Marxism and Jewry.
Heh, marxism and jewry

>In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.
Starting small by redpilling people, what an exemplary dude.
Sadly one would get his ass doxxed and lose everything these days.

Aand here comes chapter 5, damn that chapter was short

>DURING THE boisterous years of my youth nothing used to damp my wild spirits so much as to think that I was born at a time when the world had manifestly decided not to erect any more temples of fame except in honour of business people and State officials.
Relatable.
>The tempest of historical achievements seemed to have permanently subsided, so much so that the future appeared to be irrevocably delivered over to what was called peaceful competition between the nations. This simply meant a system of mutual exploitation by fraudulent means, the principle of resorting to the use of force in self-defence being formally excluded.

>Individual countries increasingly assumed the appearance of commercial undertakings, grabbing territory and clients and concessions from each other under any and every kind of pretext.
>This trend of affairs seemed destined to develop steadily and permanently. Having the support of public approbation, it seemed bound eventually to transform the world into a mammoth department store.
Wew, almost like our curren situation, i wonder ((why))

>Why could I not have been born a hundred years ago? I used to ask myself. Somewhere about the time of the Wars of Liberation, when a man was still of some value even though he had no 'business'.
Even in the past people wanted to live in the past.

I'll keep on going in the next post, running out of space here

>>1806
>>When the news came to Munich that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been murdered, I had been at home all day and did not get the particulars of how it happened. At first I feared that the shots may have been fired by some German-Austrian students who had been aroused to a state of furious indignation by the persistent pro-Slav activities of the Heir to the Habsburg Throne and therefore wished to liberate the German population from this internal enemy. It was quite easy to imagine what the result of such a mistake would have been. It would have brought on a new wave of persecution, the motives of which would have been 'justified' before the whole world. But soon afterwards I heard the names of the presumed assassins and also that they were known to be Serbs. I felt somewhat dumbfounded in face of the inexorable vengeance which Destiny had wrought. The greatest friend of the Slavs had fallen a victim to the bullets of Slav patriots.
And people claim hitler was an evulz man that didn't think of consequences, i am sure he was more than certain of every action he took during wwII, i would even go as far as saying he lost only because of sabotage.

>The fault of the German Government lay in the fact that, merely for the sake of preserving peace at all costs, it continued to miss the occasions that were favourable for action, got entangled in an alliance for the purpose of preserving the peace of the world,and thus finally became the victim of a world coalition which opposed the German effort for the maintenance of peace and was determined to bring about the world war.

>The War of 1914 was certainly not forced on the masses; it was even desired by the whole people.
Welcome back, gentlecolts, here are your quotes for the day

>On August 3rd, 1914, I presented an urgent petition to His Majesty, King Ludwig III, requesting to be allowed to serve in a Bavarian regiment. In those days the Chancellery had its hands quite full and therefore I was all the more pleased when I received the answer a day later, that my request had been granted. I opened the document with trembling hands; and no words of mine could now describe the satisfaction I felt on reading that I was instructed to report to a Bavarian regiment. Within a few days I was wearing that uniform which I was not to put oft again for nearly six years.
And that is how hitler got into the army in WWI

>ith a wistful pride I look back on those days, especially because we are now approaching the tenth anniversary of that memorable happening. I recall those early weeks of war when kind fortune permitted me to take my place in that heroic struggle among the nations.
>As the scene unfolds itself before my mind, it seems only like yesterday. I see myself among my young comrades on our first parade drill, and so on until at last the day came on which we were to leave for the front.
>In common with the others, I had one worry during those days. This was a fear that we might arrive too late for the fighting at the front. Time and again that thought disturbed me and every announcement of a victorious engagement left a bitter taste, which increased as the news of further victories arrived.
>At long last the day came when we left Munich on war service. For the first time in my life I saw the Rhine, as we journeyed westwards to stand guard before that historic German river against its traditional and grasping enemy. As the first soft rays of the morning sun broke through the light mist and disclosed to us the Niederwald Statue, with one accord the whole troop train broke into the strains of DIE WACHT AM RHEIN. I then felt as if my heart could not contain its spirit.
Adding these because it's just great

>And then followed a damp, cold night in Flanders. We marched in silence throughout the night and as the morning sun came through the mist an iron greeting suddenly burst above our heads. Shrapnel exploded in our midst and spluttered in the damp ground. But before the smoke of the explosion disappeared a wild 'Hurrah' was shouted from two hundred throats, in response to this first greeting of Death. Then began the whistling of bullets and the booming of cannons, the shouting and singing of the combatants. With eyes straining feverishly, we pressed forward, quicker and quicker, until we finally came to close-quarter fighting, there beyond the beet-fields and the meadows. Soon the strains of a song reached us from afar. Nearer and nearer, from company to company, it came. And while Death began to make havoc in our ranks we passed the song on to those beside us: DEUTSCHLAND, DEUTSCHLAND ÜBER ALLES, ÜBER ALLES IN DER WELT.
And this one

>That was the beginning. And thus we carried on from year to year. A feeling of horror replaced the romantic fighting spirit. Enthusiasm cooled down gradually and exuberant spirits were quelled by the fear of the ever-present Death. A time came when there arose within each one of us a conflict between the urge to self-preservation and the call of duty. And I had to go through that conflict too. As Death sought its prey everywhere and unrelentingly a nameless Something rebelled within the weak body and tried to introduce itself under the name of Common Sense; but in reality it was Fear, which had taken on this cloak in order to impose itself on the individual. But the more the voice which advised prudence increased its efforts and the more clear and persuasive became its appeal, resistance became all the stronger; until finally the internal strife was over and the call of duty was triumphant. Already in the winter of 1915-16 I had come through that inner struggle. The will had asserted its incontestable mastery. Whereas in the early days I went into the fight with a cheer and a laugh, I was now habitually calm and resolute. And that frame of mind endured. Fate might now put me through the final test without my nerves or reason giving way. The young volunteer had become an old soldier.

>For a thousand years to come nobody will dare to speak of heroism without recalling the German Army of the World War. And then from the dim past will emerge the immortal vision of those solid ranks of steel helmets that never flinched and never faltered. And as long as Germans live they will be proud to remember that these men were the sons of their forefathers.
If only he knew how wrong he was

>Ideas and philosophical systems as well as movements grounded on a definite spiritual foundation, whether true or not, can never be broken by the use of force after a certain stage, except on one condition: namely, that this use of force is in the service of a new idea or WELTANSCHAUUNG which burns with a new flame
This is like really important

>>1813
>The application of force alone, without moral support based on a spiritual concept, can never bring about the destruction of an idea or arrest the propagation of it, unless one is ready and able ruthlessly to exterminate the last upholders of that idea even to a man, and also wipe out any tradition which it may tend to leave behind. Now in the majority of cases the result of such a course has been to exclude such a State, either temporarily or for ever, from the comity of States that are of political significance; but experience has also shown that such a sanguinary method of extirpation arouses the better section of the population under the persecuting power. As a matter of fact, every persecution which has no spiritual motives to support it is morally unjust and raises opposition among the best elements of the population; so much so that these are driven more and more to champion the ideas that are unjustly persecuted. With many individuals this arises from the sheer spirit of opposition to every attempt at suppressing spiritual things by brute force.
>In this way the number of convinced adherents of the persecuted doctrine increases as the persecution progresses. Hence the total destruction of a new doctrine can be accomplished only by a vast plan of extermination; but this, in the final analysis, means the loss of some of the best blood in a nation or State. And that blood is then avenged, because such an internal and total clean-up brings about the collapse of the nation's strength. And such a procedure is always condemned to futility from the very start if the attacked doctrine should happen to have spread beyond a small circle.

Tl;dr:
>To sum up, the following must be borne in mind: That every attempt to combat a WELTANSCHAUUNG by means of force will turn out futile in the end if the struggle fails to take the form of an offensive for the establishment of an entirely new spiritual order of' things. It is only in the struggle between two Weltan-schauungen that physical force, consistently and ruthlessly applied, will eventually turn the scales in its own favour. It was here that the fight against Marxism had hitherto failed.
These paragraphs are really interesting. It's almost as if Hitler in all his wisdom knows it would be a bad idea to do something like the lolocaust, as that might generate a bad reaction within the population.
It's almost as if the guy has more than half a brain and made work camps where the living conditions where good instead of "death camps" as the juice claim.
It's almost as if the jews in 2019 act exactly like the jews in 1914.

>Supposing Social-Democracy were overthrown, what had one to offer the masses in its stead? Not a single movement existed which promised any success in attracting vast numbers of workers who would be now more or less without leaders, and holding these workers in its train.
>Long before the War I was of the same opinion and that was the reason why I could not decide to join any of the parties then existing. During the course of the World War my conviction was still further confirmed by the manifest impossibility of fighting Social-Democracy in anything like a thorough way: because for that purpose there should have been a movement that was something more than a mere 'parliamentary' party, and there was none such.
Really interesting.
Buut that's all for now, tomorrow we'll have 10 more pages!

Now, continuing from the last quote from this post >>1814
>I frequently discussed that want with my intimate comrades. And it was then that I first conceived the idea of taking up political work later on. As I have often assured my friends, it was just this that induced me to become active on the public hustings after the War, in addition to my professional work. And I am sure that this decision was arrived at after much earnest thought.
The reason why hitler got into politics; To fight marxism.
Now, chapter 6

>Chapter 6 War Propaganda IN WATCHING the course of political events I was always struck by the active part which propaganda played in them. I saw that it was an instrument, which the Marxist Socialists knew how to handle in a masterly way and how to put it to practical uses.
>Propaganda is a means and must, therefore, be judged in relation to the end it is intended to serve. It must be organized in such a way as to be capable of attaining its objective.

>But when nations are fighting for their existence on this earth, when the question of 'to be or not to be' has to be answered, then all humane and aesthetic considerations must be set aside; for these ideals do not exist of themselves somewhere in the air but are the product of man's creative imagination and disappear when he disappears.
>Humane and aesthetic ideals will disappear from the inhabited earth when those races disappear which are the creators and standard-bearers of them.
Honestly, pic related

And now, how to propaganda;

>(Propaganda) is nothing but a weapon, and indeed a most terrifying weapon in the hands of those who know how to use it.
>The second question of decisive importance is this: To whom should propaganda be made to appeal? To the educated intellectual classes? Or to the less intellectual?

>Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. For the intellectual classes, or what are called the intellectual classes to-day, propaganda is not suited, but only scientific exposition. Propaganda has as little to do with science as an advertisement poster has to do with art, as far as concerns the form in which it presents its message. The art of the advertisement poster consists in the ability of the designer to attract the attention of the crowd through the form and colours he chooses. The advertisement poster announcing an exhibition of art has no other aim than to convince the public of the importance of the exhibition. The better it does that, the better is the art of the poster as such.

>It was, for example, a fundamental mistake to ridicule the worth of the enemy as the Austrian and German comic papers made a chief point of doing in their propaganda.
>The very principle here is a mistaken one; for, when they came face to face with the nemy, our soldiers had quite a different impression. Therefore, the mistake had disastrous results. Once the German soldier realised what a tough enemy he had to fight he felt that he had been deceived by the manufacturers of the information which had been given him. Therefore, instead of strengthening and stimulating his fighting spirit, this information had quite the contrary effect.
>On the other hand, British and American war propaganda was psychologically efficient. By picturing the Germans to their own people as Barbarians and Huns, they were preparing their soldiers for the horrors of war and safeguarding them against illusions.

>(...) propaganda demands the most skilled brains that can be found.

>The worst of all was that our people did not understand the very first condition which has to be fulfilled in every kind of propaganda; namely, a systematically one-sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt with.

>The aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to emphasize the right which we are asserting. Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side.
This one quote reminds me of the jews and the holocaust

>The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Its notions are never partly this and partly that. English propaganda especially understood this in a marvellous way and put what they understood into practice. They allowed no half-measures which might have given rise to some doubt.

>The effectiveness of this kind of propaganda is well illustrated by the fact that after four-and-a-half years, not only was the enemy still carrying on his propagandist work, but it was already undermining the stamina of our people at home.

>No matter what an amount of talent employed in the organization of propaganda, it will have no result if due account is not taken of these fundamental principles. Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be represented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance is the first and most important condition of success.

>>1815
This part here is really important.
Also kind of explains certain posters in certain threads
>Particularly in the field of propaganda, placid aesthetes and blase intellectuals should never be allowed to take the lead. The former would readily transform the impressive character of real propaganda into something suitable only for literary tea parties. As to the second class of people, one must always beware of this pest; for, in consequence of their insensibility to normal impressions, they are constantly seeking new excitements.
>The blase intellectuals are always the first to criticize propaganda, or rather its message, because this appears to them to be outmoded and trivial. They are always looking for something new, always yearning for change; and thus they become the mortal enemies of every effort that may be made to influence the masses in an effective way. The moment the organization and message of a propagandist movement begins to be orientated according to their tastes it becomes incoherent and scattered.

>It is not the purpose of propaganda to create a series of alterations in sentiment with a view to pleasing these blase gentry. Its chief function is to convince the masses, whose slowness of understanding needs to be given time in order that they may absorb information; and only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.
This also explains why /pol/ gets spammed with bbc and all sorts of shit
They are treating /pol/ as if it was a normal civilization, applying standart propaganda methods onto a virtual forum; That's pretty retarded if you ask me.

>The success of any advertisement, whether of a business or political nature, depends on the consistency and perseverance with which it is employed.

>In this respect also the propaganda organized by our enemies set us an excellent example. It confined itself to a few themes, which were meant exclusively for mass consumption, and it repeated these themes with untiring perseverance. Once these fundamental themes and the manner of placing them before the world were recognized as effective, they adhered to them without the slightest alteration for the whole duration of the War. At first all of it appeared to be idiotic in its impudent assertiveness. Later on it was looked upon as disturbing, but finally it was believed.
Holooohoooooaaaxxx

Aaand that is all for now, see you later madlads

Welcome, gentlecolts, to chapter 7
>IN 1915 the enemy started his propaganda among our soldiers. From 1916 onwards it
steadily became more intensive, and at the beginning of 1918 it had swollen into a storm
flood. One could now judge the effects of this proselytizing movement step by step.
Gradually our soldiers began to think just in the way the enemy wished them to think.
On the German side there was no counter-propaganda.
So, the meme magic works as intended, for the enemy.

>At the end of September 1916 my division was sent into
the Battle of the Somme. For us this was the first of a series of heavy engagements, and
the impression created was that of a veritable inferno, rather than war. Through weeks
of incessant artillery bombardment we stood firm, at times ceding a little ground but then taking it back again, and never giving way. On October 7th, 1916, I was wounded
but had the luck of being able to get back to our lines and was then ordered to be sent
by ambulance train to Germany.
And thus Hitler Is back home.

And after a long talk about war, which i personally really like but its too long to add here, we get some more history about jews

>In the business world the situation was even worse. Here the Jews had actually become
'indispensable'. Like leeches, they were slowly sucking the blood from the pores of the
national body. By means of newly floated War Companies an instrument had been
discovered whereby all national trade was throttled so that no business could be carried
on freely
>Special emphasis was laid on the necessity for unhampered centralization. Hence as
early as 1916-17 practically all production was under the control of Jewish finance.

And then Hitler went back to war
>I could not tolerate this execrable squabbling among people of the same German stock
and preferred to be at the front once again. Therefore, just after my arrival in Munich I
reported myself for service again. At the beginning of March 1917 I rejoined my old
regiment at the front.

Aand that will be all for now, we get a lot more about the situation on war and propaganda but for now, and since im on phone, this will be a shortpost.

So, to start out this morning, we get more stories about hitler in war
>During the night of October 13th-14th, the British opened an attack with gas on the front south of Ypres. They used the yellow gas whose effect was unknown to us, at least from personal experience. I was destined to experience it that very night. On a hill south of Werwick, in the evening of October 13th, we were subjected for several hours to a heavy bombardment with gas bombs, which continued throughout the night with more or less intensity. About midnight a number of us were put out of action, some for ever.
>Towards morning I also began to feel pain. It increased with every quarter of an hour; and about seven o'clock my eyes were scorching as I staggered back and delivered the last dispatch I was destined to carry in this war. A few hours later my eyes were like glowing coals and all was darkness around me.
Seems like our guy almost becomes blind, but then something even worse happens:
>I was sent into hospital at Pasewalk in Pomerania, and there it was that I had to hear of the Revolution.

>Then one day disaster broke in upon us suddenly and without warning. Sailors came in motor-lorries and called on us to rise in revolt. A few Jew-boys were the leaders in that combat for the 'Liberty, Beauty, and Dignity' of our National Being. Not one of them had seen active service at the front.
>My first thought was that this outbreak of high treason was only a local affair. I tried to enforce this belief among my comrades. My Bavarian hospital mates, in particular, were readily responsive. Their inclinations were anything but revolutionary. I could not imagine this madness breaking out in Munich; for it seemed to me that loyalty to the House of Wittelsbach was, after all, stronger than the will of a few Jews. And so I could not help believing that this was merely a revolt in the Navy and that it would be suppressed within the next few days.

>On November 10th the local pastor visited the hospital for the purpose of delivering a short address. And that was how we came to know the whole story.
>The reverend old gentleman seemed to be trembling when he informed us that the House of Hohen-zollern should no longer wear the Imperial Crown, that the Fatherland had become a 'Republic', that we should pray to the Almighty not to withhold His blessing from the new order of things and not to abandon our people in the days to come. In delivering this message he could not do more than briefly express appreciation of the Royal House, its services to Pomerania, to Prussia, indeed, to the whole of the German Fatherland, and--here he began to weep. A feeling of profound dismay fell on the people in that assembly, and I do not think there was a single eye that withheld its tears. As for myself, I broke down completely when the old gentleman tried to resume his story by informing us that we must now end this long war, because the war was lost, he said, and we were at the mercy of the victor. The Fatherland would have to bear heavy burdens in the future. We were to accept the terms of the Armistice and trust to the magnanimity of our former enemies. It was impossible for me to stay and listen any longer. Darkness surrounded me as I staggered and stumbled back to my ward and buried my aching head between the blankets and pillow.
>I had not cried since the day that I stood beside my mother's grave.

Handle the next passage carefully, it's a bit hot
>So all had been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices and privations, in vain the hunger and thirst for endless months, in vain those hours that we stuck to our posts though the fear of death gripped our souls, and in vain the deaths of two millions who fell in discharging this duty. Think of those hundreds of thousands who set out with hearts full of faith in their fatherland, and never returned; ought not their graves to open, so that the spirits of those heroes bespattered with mud and blood should come home and take vengeance on those who had so despicably betrayed the greatest sacrifice which a human being can make for his country? Was it for this that the soldiers died in August and September 1914, for this that the volunteer regiments followed the old comrades in the autumn of the same year? Was it for this that those boys of seventeen years of age were mingled with the earth of Flanders? Was this meant to be the fruits of the sacrifice which German mothers made for their Fatherland when, with heavy hearts, they said good-bye to their sons who never returned? Has all this been done in order to enable a gang of despicable criminals to lay hands on the Fatherland?

>During the following days my own fate became clear to me. I was forced now to scoff at the thought of my personal future, which hitherto had been the cause of so much worry to me.
>Emperor William II was the first German Emperor to offer the hand of friendship to the Marxist leaders, not suspecting that they were scoundrels without any sense of honour.
>There is no such thing as coming to an understanding with the Jews. It must be the hard-and-fast 'Either-Or.'

And finally, after a long, long time
>For my part I then decided that I would take up political work.
Our guy decides to take part in political work.
Congrats, if you read till here now you have the power to automatically btfo myths about hitler and the nazi party!

>TOWARDS THE end of November I returned to Munich. I went to the depot of my regiment, which was now in the hands of the 'Soldiers' Councils'. As the whole administration was quite repulsive to me, I decided to leave it as soon as I possibly could. With my faithful war-comrade, Ernst-Schmidt, I came to Traunstein and remained there until the camp was broken up. In March 1919 we were back again in Munich.

>I spent whole days pondering on the problem of what could be done, but unfortunately every project had to give way before the hard fact that I was quite unknown and therefore did not have even the first pre-requisite necessary for effective action. Later on I shall explain the reasons why I could not decide to join any of the parties then in existence.

>As the new Soviet Revolution began to run its course in Munich my first activities drew upon me the ill-will of the Central Council. In the early morning of April 27th, 1919, I was to have been arrested; but the three fellows who came to arrest me did not have the courage to face my rifle and withdrew just as they had arrived.
That's honestly pretty badass

>After another few weeks I received orders to attend a course of lectures which were being given to members of the army. This course was meant to inculcate certain fundamental principles on which the soldier could base his political ideas. For me the advantage of this organization was that it gave me a chance of meeting fellow soldiers who were of the same way of thinking and with whom I could discuss the actual situation. We were all more or less firmly convinced that Germany could not be saved from imminent disaster by those who had participated in the November treachery--that is to say, the Centre and the Social-Democrats; and also that the so-called Bourgeois-National group could not make good the damage that had been done, even if they had the best intentions. They lacked a number of requisites without which such a task could never be successfully undertaken. The years that followed have justified the opinions which we held at that time.
>In our small circle we discussed the project of forming a new party. The leading ideas which we then proposed were the same as those which were carried into effect afterwards, when the German Labour Party was founded. The name of the new movement which was to be founded should be such that of itself, it would appeal to the mass of the people; for all our efforts would turn out vain and useless if this condition were lacking. And that was the reason why we chose the name 'Social-Revolutionary Party', particularly because the social principles of our new organization were indeed revolutionary.
It begins!

>(...)
>Previously I did not recognize with adequate clearness the difference between capital which is purely the product of creative labour and the existence and nature of capital which is exclusively the result of financial speculation. Here I needed an impulse to set my mind thinking in this direction; but that impulse had hitherto been lacking.
>The requisite impulse now came from one of the men who delivered lectures in the course I have already mentioned. This was Gottfried Feder.

>For the first time in my life I heard a discussion which dealt with the principles of stock-exchange capital and capital which was used for loan activities. After hearing the first lecture delivered by Feder, the idea immediately came into my head that I had now found a way to one of the most essential pre-requisites for the founding of a new party.

>It is not the business of him who lays down a theoretical programme to explain the various ways in which something can be put into practice. His task is to deal with the problem as such; and, therefore, he has to look to the end rather than the means. The important question is whether an idea is fundamentally right or not.
>The question of whether or not it may be difficult to carry it out in practice is quite another matter

>To pursue ideals which will still be of value and significance for the future is generally not a very profitable undertaking and he who follows such a course is only very rarely understood by the mass of the people, who find beer and milk a more persuasive index of political values than far-sighted plans for the future, the realization of which can only take place later on and the advantages of which can be reaped only by posterity.To pursue ideals which will still be of value and significance for the future is generally not a very profitable undertaking and he who follows such a course is only very rarely understood by the mass of the people, who find beer and milk a more persuasive index of political values than far-sighted plans for the future, the realization of which can only take place later on and the advantages of which can be reaped only by posterity.

>The position of the constructive political philosopher is quite different. The importance of his work must always be judged from the standpoint of the future; and he is frequently described by the word WELTFREMD, or dreamer. While the ability of the politician consists in mastering the art of the possible, the founder of a political system belongs to those who are said to please the gods only because they wish for and demand the impossible. They will always have to renounce contemporary fame; but if their ideas be immortal, posterity will grant them its acknowledgment.

Aaand that's it for today folk, keep on reading and see you tomorrow!

Hey guys, welcome again to this little thread
Today, our next foe is page 181 to page 190, so let us begin at once; Within long spans of human progress(...)

>The greater the work which a man does for the future, the less will he be appreciated by his contemporaries. His struggle will accordingly be all the more severe, and his success all the rarer. When, in the course of centuries, such a man appears who is blessed with success then, towards the end of his days, he may have a faint prevision of his future fame.
Deep shit, huh
And this is supposed to be a "book filled with hatred"

>The great protagonists are those who fight for their ideas and ideals despite the fact that they receive no recognition at the hands of their contemporaries.
>To this group belong not only the genuinely great statesmen but all the great reformers as well.
It would be hard to center a political campaing both on the long and short run, do you think current day politicians are prepared to deal with these questions, or care about them at all?
Do they care about their people?

>Any idea may be a source of danger if it be looked upon as an end in itself, when really it is only the means to an end. For me and for all genuine National-Socialists there is only one doctrine. PEOPLE AND FATHERLAND.

>What we have to fight for is the necessary security for the existence and increase of our race and people, the subsistence of its children and the maintenance of our racial stock unmixed, the freedom and independence of the Fatherland; so that our people may be enabled to fulfil the mission assigned to it by the Creator.
He said the thing!

>(...)Another of the participants thought that he would break a lance for the Jews and entered into a lengthy defence of them. This aroused my opposition. An overwhelming number of those who attended the lecture course supported my views. The consequence of it all was that, a few days later, I was assigned to a regiment then stationed at Munich and given a position there as 'instruction officer'.
Wish it was that easy these days

>I took up my work with the greatest delight and devotion. Here I was presented with an opportunity of speaking before quite a large audience. I was now able to confirm what I had hitherto merely felt, namely, that I had a talent for public speaking. My voice had become so much better that I could be well understood, at least in all parts of the small hall where the soldiers assembled.
New skill discovered

>I am able to state that my talks were successful. During the course of my lectures I have led back hundreds and even thousands of my fellow countrymen to their people and their fatherland. I 'nationalized' these troops and by so doing I helped to restore general discipline.

And then, chapter 9

>My opinion of the 'German Labour Party' was not very different after I had listened to their proceedings for about two hours. I was glad when Feder finally came to a close. I had observed enough and was just about to leave when it was announced that anybody who wished was free to open a discussion. Thereupon, I decided to remain. But the discussion seemed to proceed without anything of vital importance being mentioned, when suddenly a 'professor' commenced to speak. He opened by throwing doubt on the accuracy of what Feder had said, and then. after Feder had replied very effectively, the professor suddenly took up his position on what he called 'the basis of facts,' but before this he recommended the young party most urgently to introduce the secession of Bavaria from Prussia as one of the leading proposals in its programme. In the most self-assured way, this man kept on insisting that German-Austria would join Bavaria and that the peace would then function much better. He made other similarly extravagant statements. At this juncture I felt bound to ask for permission to speak and to tell the learned gentleman what I thought. The result was that the honourable gentleman who had last spoken slipped out of his place, like a whipped cur, without uttering a sound. While I was speaking the audience listened with an expression of surprise on their faces. When I was just about to say good-night to the assembly and to leave, a man came after me quickly and introduced himself. I did not grasp the name correctly; but he placed a little book in my hand, which was obviously a political pamphlet, and asked me very earnestly to read it.
That's quite a show of bravery

And then stuff happened, and hitler ended up having a meeting with the few young men in charge of the german labour's party
>I now began to ask questions. But I found that, apart from a few general principles, there was nothing--no programme, no pamphlet, nothing at all in print, no card of membership, not even a party stamp, nothing but obvious good faith and good intentions.
>I no longer felt inclined to laugh; for what else was all this but a typical sign of the most complete perplexity and deepest despair in regard to all political parties, their programmes and views and activities? The feeling which had induced those few young people to join in what seemed such a ridiculous enterprise was nothing but the call of the inner voice which told them--though more intuitively than consciously--that the whole party system as it had hitherto existed was not the kind of force that could restore the German nation or repair the damages that had been done to the German people by those who hitherto controlled the internal affairs of the nation. I quickly read through the list of principles that formed the platform of the party. These principles were stated on typewritten sheets. Here again I found evidence of the spirit of longing and searching, but no sign whatever of a knowledge of the conflict that had to be fought. I myself had experienced the feelings which inspired those people. It was the longing for a movement which should be more than a party, in the hitherto accepted meaning of that word.

>The so-called 'intellectuals' still look down with infinite superciliousness on anyone who has not been through the prescribed schools and allowed them to pump the necessary knowledge into him. The question of what a man can do is never asked but rather, what has he learned? 'Educated' people look upon any imbecile who is plastered with a number of academic certificates as superior to the ablest young fellow who lacks these precious documents. I could therefore easily imagine how this 'educated' world would receive me and I was wrong only in so far as I then believed men to be for the most part better than they proved to be in the cold light of reality. Because of their being as they are, the few exceptions stand out all the more conspicuously. I learned more and more to distinguish between those who will always be at school and those who will one day come to know something in reality.

>After two days of careful brooding and reflection I became convinced that I must take the contemplated step.
>It was the most fateful decision of my life. No retreat was possible.
>Thus I declared myself ready to accept the membership tendered me by the German Labour Party and received a provisional certificate of membership.

And now, i present to you, chapter 10 Why The Second Reich Collapsed.

We get a looot of on this, so much in fact i cannot post quotes without them losing their context, so here is the closing statement
>This shows only too clearly how false it is to say that the loss of the War was the cause of the German break-up. No. The military defeat was itself but the consequence of a whole series of morbid symptoms and their causes which had become active in the German nation before the War broke out.
>The War was the first catastrophal consequence, visible to all, of how traditions and national morale had been poisoned and how the instinct of self-preservation had degenerated. These were the preliminary causes which for many years had been undermining the foundations of the nation and the Empire.

>the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
This is an interesting concept.

>He (Schopenhauer) called the Jew "The Great Master of Lies". Those who do not realize the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping Truth to prevail.
This kind of quote is frustrating, it was so common in the past to call out an entire race for being shitheads but now you can't even make a joke.

>It was not by accident that man conquered the black plague more easily than he conquered tuberculosis. The first appeared in terrifying waves of death that shook the whole of mankind, the other advances insidiously; the first induces terror, the other gradual indifference. The result is, however, that men opposed the first with all the energy they were capable of, whilst they try to arrest tuberculosis by feeble means. Thus man has mastered the black plague, while tuberculosis still gets the better of him.
>The same applies to diseases in nations. So long as these diseases are not of a catastrophic character, the population will slowly accustom itself to them and later succumb.

sorry anons, i got a really long lasting party so it took me a really long time to post.
let us resume our normal scheldule;
>from page 200 to 211 next
Hey, ever seen hitler talk about Npcs?
You see it in this chapter.

Let us talk about monarchies
>A man who is serious about the maintenance and welfare of an institution will not allow himself to be discouraged when the representatives of that institution show certain faults and failings. And he certainly will not run around to tell the world about it, as certain false democratic 'friends' of the monarchy have done; but he will approach His Majesty, the bearer of the Crown himself, to warn him of the seriousness of a situation and persuade the monarch to act. Furthermore, he will not take up the standpoint that it must be left to His Majesty to act as the latter thinks fit, even though the course which he would take must plainly lead to disaster.
>But the man I am thinking of will deem it his duty to protect the monarchy against the monarch himself, no matter what personal risk he may run in doing so.

>If the worth of the monarchical institution be dependent on the person of the monarch himself, then it would be the worst institution imaginable; for only in rare cases are kings found to be models of wisdom and understanding, and integrity of character, though we might like to think otherwise.

>It is clear that the worth and significance of the monarchical principle cannot rest in the person of the monarch alone, unless Heaven decrees that the crown should be set on the head of a brilliant hero like Frederick the Great, or a sagacious person like William I.
>This may happen once in several centuries, but hardly oftener than that.

Now about that education system..
>One visible result of wrong educational system was the fear of shouldering responsibility and the resultant weakness in dealing with obvious vital problems of existence.
>The starting point of this epidemic, however, was in our parliamentary institution where the shirking of responsibility is particularly fostered. Unfortunately the disease slowly spread to all branches of everyday life but particularly affected the sphere of public affairs. Responsibility was being shirked everywhere and this led to insufficient or half-hearted measures being taken, personal responsibility for each act being reduced to a minimum.

About that Npc stuff

>In journalistic circles it is a pleasing custom to speak of the Press as a 'Great Power' within the State. As a matter of fact its importance is immense. One cannot easily overestimate it, for the Press continues the work of education even in adult life. Generally, readers of the Press can be classified into three groups:
-First, those who believe everything they read;
-Second, those who no longer believe anything;
-Third, those who critically examine what they read and form their judgments accordingly

>Numerically, the first group is by far the strongest, being composed of the broad masses of the people. Intellectually, it forms the simplest portion of the nation. It cannot be classified according to occupation but only into grades of intelligence.
>Under this category come all those who have not been born to think for themselves or who have not learnt to do so and who, partly through incompetence and partly through ignorance, believe everything that is set before them in print. To these we must add that type of lazy individual who, although capable of thinking for himself out of sheer laziness gratefully absorbs everything that others had thought over, modestly believing this to have been thoroughly done. The influence which the Press has on all these people is therefore enormous; for after all they constitute the broad masses of a nation. But, somehow they are not in a position or are not willing personally to sift what is being served up to them; so that their whole attitude towards daily problems is almost solely the result of extraneous influence.
>All this can be advantageous where public enlightenment is of a serious and truthful character, but great harm is done when scoundrels and liars take a hand at this work.

>The second group is numerically smaller, being partly composed of those who were formerly in the first group and after a series of bitter disappointments are now prepared to believe nothing of what they see in print. They hate all newspapers. Either they do not read them at all or they become exceptionally annoyed at their contents, which they hold to be nothing but a congeries of lies and misstatements. These people are difficult to handle; for they will always be sceptical of the truth. Consequently, they are useless for any form of positive work.

>The third group is easily the smallest, being composed of real intellectuals whom natural aptitude and education have taught to think for themselves and who in all things try to form their own judgments, while at the same time carefully sifting what they read. They will not read any newspaper without using their own intelligence to collaborate with that of the writer and naturally this does not set writers an easy task. Journalists appreciate this type of reader only with a certain amount of reservation.
Always pick this /ub/ always pick this

>In the majority of cases these readers have learnt to regard every journalist as fundamentally a rogue who sometimes speaks the truth. Most unfortunately, the value of these readers lies in their intelligence and not in their numerical strength, an unhappy state of affairs in a period where wisdom counts for nothing and majorities for everything.
Yeah, shit, it's like nothing changed at all. I wonder ((why))

Following in next post

>>1847

>Nowadays when the voting papers of the masses are the deciding factor; the decision lies in the hands of the numerically strongest group; that is to say the first group, the crowd of simpletons and the credulous.
>It is an all-important interest of the State and a national duty to prevent these people from falling into the hands of false, ignorant or even evil-minded teachers. Therefore it is the duty of the State to supervise their education and prevent every form of offence in this respect. Particular attention should be paid to the Press; for its influence on these people is by far the strongest and most penetrating of all.
>Its immense significance lies in the uniform and persistent repetition of its teaching.
>With ruthless determination the State must keep control of this instrument of popular education and place it at the service of the State and the Nation.
He makes it sound so easy, this guy should be a leader- Oh, wait...

>By means of persistent attacks, did not the Press keep on undermining the authority of the State, until one blow sufficed to bring this institution tottering to the ground? Did not the Press oppose with all its might every movement to give the State that which belongs to the State, and by means of constant criticism, injure the reputation of the army, sabotage general conscription and demand refusal of military credits, etc.--until the success of this campaign was assured?
The ((Press))

>The function of the so-called liberal Press was to dig the grave for the German people and REICH. No mention need be made of the lying Marxist Press. To them the spreading of falsehood is as much a vital necessity as the mouse is to a cat. Their sole task is to break the national backbone of the people, thus preparing the nation to become the slaves of international finance and its masters, the Jews.
It would be cool if all of this was just the plot of a book.
Isn't it weird how reality is just like fantasy?

Indeed >>1845
See
>The reason for this ignominious failure on the part of the State lay not so much in its refusal to realize the danger as in the out-and-out cowardly way of meeting the situation by the adoption of faulty and ineffective measures. No one had the courage to employ any energetic and radical methods. Everyone temporised in some way or other;
>and instead of striking at its heart, the viper was only further irritated. The result was that not only did everything remain as it was, but the power of this institution which should have been combated grew greater from
year to year

>The Jews were too clever to allow a simultaneous attack to be made on the whole of their Press. No one section functioned as cover for the other. While the Marxist newspaper, in the most despicable manner possible, reviled everything that was sacred, furiously attacked the State and Government and incited certain classes of the community against each other, the bourgeois-democratic papers, also in Jewish hands, knew how to camouflage themselves as model examples of objectivity. They studiously avoided harsh language, knowing well that block-heads are capable of judging only by external appearances and never able to penetrate to the real depth and meaning of anything. They measure the worth of an object by its exterior and not by its content. This form of human frailty was carefully studied and understood by the Press.

>It is just for intellectual DEMI-MONDE that the Jew writes those papers which he calls his 'intellectual' Press. For them the FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG and BERLINER TAGEBLATT are written, the tone being adapted to them, and it is over these people that such papers have an influence. While studiously avoiding all forms of expression that might strike the reader as crude, the poison is injected from other vials into the hearts of the clientele. The effervescent tone and the fine phraseology lug the readers into believing that a love for knowledge and moral principle is the sole driving force that determines the policy of such papers, whereas in reality these features represent a cunning way of disarming any opposition that might be directed against the Jews and their Press.

About prostitution..
>the moral havoc resulting from this prostitution would be sufficient to bring about the destruction of the nation, slowly but surely. This Judaizing of our spiritual life and mammonizing of our natural instinct for procreation will sooner or later work havoc with our whole posterity. For instead of strong, healthy children, blessed with natural feelings, we shall see miserable specimens of humanity resulting from economic calculation. For economic considerations are becoming more and more the foundations of marriage and the sole preliminary condition of it. And love looks for an outlet elsewhere.

>There are many ways of becoming resigned to this unpleasant and terrible fact. Many people go about seeing nothing or, to be more correct, not wanting to see anything. This is by far the simplest and cheapest attitude to adopt. Others cover themselves in the sacred mantle of prudery, as ridiculous as it is false. They describe the whole condition of affairs as sinful and are profoundly indignant when brought face to face with a victim. They close their eyes in reverend abhorrence to this godless scourge and pray to the Almighty that He--if possible after their own death--may rain down fire and brimstone as on Sodom and Gomorrah and so once again make an out standing example of this shameless section of humanity. Finally, there are those who are well aware of the terrible results which this scourge will and must bring about, but they merely shrug their shoulders, fully convinced of their inability to undertake anything against this peril. Hence matters are allowed to take their own course.
This whole paragraph is like a mini help book, it screams "act, even if you don't believe in yourself"

>>1848
>But the important question that arises here is: Which nation will be the first to take the initiative in mastering this scourge, and which nations will succumb to it?
>The present is a period of probation for racial values. The race that fails to come through the test will simply die out and its place will be taken by the healthier and stronger races, which will be able to endure greater hardships.

He has been talking about how germany at the time failed to fight siphilis and how prostitution helps to spread it.
This could be applied to a number of things today, not only STD's.
>It is in this way, with the assistance of every form of propaganda, that the problem of fighting venereal disease should be placed before the public--not as a task for the nation but as THE main task. Every possible means should be employed to bring the truth about this scourge home to the minds of the people, until the whole nation has been convinced that everything depends on the solution of this problem; that is to say, a healthy future or national decay.
>Only after such preparatory measures--if necessary spread over a period of many years--will public attention and public resolution be fully aroused, and only then can serious and definite measures be undertaken without running the risk of not being fully understood or of being suddenly faced with a slackening of the public will. It must be made clear to all that a serious fight against this scourge calls for vast sacrifices and an enormous amount of work.
>To wage war against syphilis means fighting against prostitution, against prejudice, against old-established customs, against current fashion, public opinion, and, last but not least, against false prudery in certain circles.

>The first preliminary condition to be fulfilled before the State can claim a moral right to fight against all these things is that the young generation should be afforded facilities for contracting early marriages. Late marriages have the sanction of a custom which, from whatever angle we view it, is and will remain a disgrace to humanity.
The world has changed so much, economy is so inflated that a couple marrying young is hardly ever possible, the desire itself to get married loses appeal every year. Shiz it's almost like it was destroyed on purpose.

>Prostitution is a disgrace to humanity and cannot be removed simply by charitable or academic methods. Its restriction and final extermination presupposes the removal of a whole series of contributory circumstances. The first remedy must always be to establish such conditions as will make early marriages possible, especially for young men--for women are, after all, only passive subjects in this matter.
Post this quote on /r9k/ and you'll get a bunch of weebz into national socialism by inciting the idea of mandatory state gf

>Marriage is not an end in itself but must serve the greater end, which is that of increasing and maintaining the human species and the race. This is its only meaning and purpose.
And that's it for now guys, see you again tomorrow
It is time for me to sleep, good night!

Welcome to yet another iteration of reading with hitler. Because when you read alone, you read with hitler

And now, we keep on talking about marriage for a while longer:
>It is clear that the institution of marriage must be judged by the manner in which its allotted function is fulfilled. Therefore early marriages should be the rule, because thus the young couple will still have that pristine force which is the fountain head of a healthy posterity with unimpaired powers of resistance. Of course early marriages cannot be made the rule unless a whole series of social measures are first undertaken without which early marriages cannot be even thought of. In other words, a solution of this question, which seems a small problem in itself, cannot be brought about without adopting radical measures to alter the social background. The importance of such measures ought to be studied and properly estimated, especially at a time when the so-called 'social' Republic has shown itself unable to solve the housing problem and thus has made it impossible for innumerable couples to get married. That sort of policy prepares the way for the further advance of prostitution.

>Secondly, a whole series of false notions must be eradicated from our system of bringing up and educating children--things which hitherto no one seems to have worried about. In our present educational system a balance will have to be established, first and foremost, between mental instruction and physical training.
>What is known as GYMNASIUM (Grammar School) to-day is a positive insult to the Greek institution. Our system of education entirely loses sight of the fact that in the long run a healthy mind can exist only in a healthy body. This statement, with few exceptions, applies particularly to the broad masses of the nation.
Some comments on /fitlit/

>The extravagant emphasis laid on purely intellectual education and the consequent neglect of physical training must necessarily lead to sexual thoughts in early youth. Those boys whose constitutions have been trained and hardened by sports and gymnastics are less prone to sexual indulgence than those stay-at-homes who have been fed exclusively with mental pabulum. Sound methods of education cannot, however, afford to disregard this, and we must not forget that the expectations of a healthy young man from a woman will differ from those of a weakling who has been prematurely corrupted.
It's just funny how so many of his points could potentially solve modern day problems.

>The law courts from time to time throw a distressing light on the spiritual life of our 14- and 15-year old children. Who, therefore, will be surprised to learn that venereal disease claims its victims at this age? And is it not a frightful shame to see the number of physically weak and intellectually spoiled young men who have been introduced to the mysteries of marriage by the whores of the big cities?
This chapter pretty much sums up why degeneracy is bad in the first place.
If anyone ever asks you to "define" degeneracy, this might be a really useful thing to keep in mind.

>Any renovation which is really beneficial to human progress will always have to begin its constructive work at the level where the last stones of the structure have been laid.
>(...)all human culture, as well as man himself, is only the result of one long line of development, where each generation has contributed but one stone to the building of the whole structure.

>The meaning and purpose of revolutions cannot be to tear down the whole building but to take away what has not been well fitted into it or is unsuitable, and to rebuild the free space thus caused, after which the main construction of the building will be carried on.

About modern art
>This situation afforded a good opportunity of studying the miserable cowardliness of our so-called intellectuals who shirked the duty of offering serious resistance to the poisoning of the sound instincts of our people. They left it to the people themselves to formulate their own attitude towards his impudent nonsense. Lest they might be considered as understanding nothing of art, they accepted every caricature of art, until they finally lost the power of judging what is really good or bad.

On small cities
>Still another critical symptom has to be considered. In the course of the nineteenth century our towns and cities began more and more to lose their character as centres of civilization and became more and more centres of habitation. In our great modern cities the proletariat does not show much attachment to the place where it lives. This feeling results from the fact that their dwelling-place is nothing but an accidental abode, and that feeling is also partly due to the frequent change of residence which is forced upon them by social conditions.
>Our great modern cities have no outstanding monuments that dominate the general aspect of the city and could be pointed to as the symbols of a whole epoch. Yet almost every ancient town had a monument erected to its glory. It was not in private dwellings that the characteristic art of ancient cities was displayed but in the public monuments, which were not meant to have a transitory interest but an enduring one.

>What struck the eye of the individual citizen was not a number of mediocre private buildings, but imposing structures that belonged to the whole community. In contradistinction to these, private dwellings were of only very secondary importance indeed.

That's all for now folks, we'll get more tomorrow.
here's some forgotten oldfag poner music for those who made it this far

>>1850
Now now, another day and we're close to the weekend break, damn days fly by.
Not a lot of quotes for today, we get a lot to read on the history of germany and it's navy, bad decitions and some good aspects and some quotes i will post here, for the full text remember to read it up in the book!

>Our era is entirely preoccupied with little things which are to no purpose, or rather it is entirely preoccupied in the service of money. Therefore it is not to be wondered at if, with the worship of such an idol, the sense of heroism should entirely disappear. But the present is only reaping what the past has sown.

>The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the masses of the people, especially faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral outlook on life. The various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations.
>There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live wisely and intelligently without depending on the general standards that prevail in everyday life, but the millions of others cannot do so.
About religion and morality, he has a good point on average people not being philosophers for the "does morality depends on religion" question

>Now the place which general custom fills in everyday life corresponds to that of general laws in the State and dogma in religion.
>It is only through dogma that it is given a precise and concrete form without which it could not become a living faith. Otherwise the spiritual idea would never become anything more than a mere metaphysical concept, or rather a philosophical opinion.
>Accordingly the attack against dogma is comparable to an attack against the general laws on which the State is founded. And so this attack would finally lead to complete political anarchy if it were successful, just as the attack on religion would lead to a worthless religious nihilism.
Some more about religion, and then we get like a final statement:
>The political leader should not estimate the worth of a religion by taking some of its shortcomings into account, but he should ask himself whether there be any practical substitute in a view which is demonstrably better. Until such a substitute be available only fools and criminals would think of abolishing the existing religion.

And of course some talk about the jews, this time when talking about old germany.
>Only the Jew knew that by an able and persistent use of propaganda heaven itself can be presented to the people as if it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented as if it were paradise. The Jew knew this and acted accordingly.

A long time without news from (you) OP.

>>1878
I have been doing nothing but improving myself for the past two months, i am sorry for abandoning you, anons.
I will come back soon thought, its time i stop it with the introspection.
I hope my absence didn't hurt your motivation.

>>1941
>I will come back soon thought
Looking forward to it.

>>1941
Good, anon. At least one of us will be ready when the collapse comes...can't say the same for myself. Till I'm out of here, I'm just spending my nights hogging public wifi while drinking rumchatas and whiskey and coke.

>>1950
It's never too late to swim the lake of pain anon, easiest thing in life is to die, hardest thing to become an example.

>>1950
Sometimes people here talk about having a collection of books useful in the event of a war/disaster/apocalypse, books on how to make shit and survive shit.
Where do people get that stuff, and what should a total beginner like me look for?

>>2008
Check out the Foxfire Books. There's 12 of them, but even if you only had the first one you'd be equipped with powerful old scchool knowledge, and some hilarious superstitions.

>>2009
Sounds good, what else is there?
Especially on things like survivalism, doomsday prepping, where to flee to and how to flee in the event that your country goes too far down the jewish dystopia hole, what to do if you are arrested for wrongthink/psycho cops making up charges against you, how to make/shoot/maintain a gun, how to legally get a gun in the UK, and how to attract a redpilled female lifelong mate?

>>2010
Well Foxfire is definitely survival related, and would make you useful to a community, which is the most important thing to maintain in a survival scenario against other hostile tribes. I don't know any essential books that really fit those other categories you listed, but there's lots of good material out there that isn't even controversial that you could keep an eye out for. Go to used book stores, pawn shops, garage sales, and look for vintage stuff. Also, read history and see how hardcore people were, it'll make you more confident. Modern people are getting really soft and lazy thanks to technology. If you're enough of a pain in the ass they may just retreat from you.

Regarding women, there's not enough redpilled women to even make them worth looking for. Fortunately, most women possess the same psychology. Men who can get shit done, and appear to be happy even without a woman, are always desirable. Maintaining that image for her in the long run is how she will stay loyal. Doesn't mean she can't feel valuable and appreciated, but she can't be allowed to think she's essential to your satisfaction, because think about it, that's a lot of pressure, and it creates resentment.

>>2008
Daisy Luther has some useful books on this sort of stuff, and I found her and other prepper-related authors on LewRockwell. You can probably find books at your local library that talk about survival, look for the camping section or whatnot.

>>2012
Wait, is there really such a thing a woman who can write?

>>2013
That's because she's actually based, not in the Lauren Southern "oh listen to me advocate this" way but in the "I've raised a traditional family and am ready for the hard times ahead, follow my example" way. Finding a wife who's anything like Mrs. Luther is a noble quest.

>>2015
Do you think it would be fucked up to find a young woman on a site they frequent (anime, Amino, etc) and redpill her?

>>1795
>The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of glowing passion; but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. It is only through the capacity for passionate feeling that chosen leaders can wield the power of the word which, like hammer blows, will open the door to the hearts of the people.
Powerful truth.

>>2024
Think bigger.

>>2024
>young woman
>and redpill her?
I missed this post.
Women can't be redpilled because of the way God hardwired them.
Think in this way; women are like jews, their existence is about to parasite men while manipulate them to get an easier life.
If given the choice of a handsome man or a disgusting rich paki; they will choose both. While sucking dry the wealth of the sandnigger, they will fuck the handsome one without any remorse. In the end both men will be replaced for upgraded suckers is the opportunity shows up, no doubts about that.
Remember, women are like low IQ jews; and this fact will make you maneuver in a totally different and safer way.

It saddens me to see no anon took it to himself to post quotes in my absence.
I do know it's the responsibility of no one else, but still.

So, for now hiteru keeps on talking about the army, the state of the government back in the day and how everything was degenerating.
>The German residential cities have remained, even to our time, centres of that artistic spirit which now threatens to disappear and is becoming more and more materialistic.
>During that process of disintegration which was slowly extending throughout the social order the most positive force of resistance was that offered by the army. This was the strongest source of education which the German people possessed.
>The fact that the international profiteers who gathered at Versailles, further to exploit and plunder the nations directed their enmity specially against the old German army proved once again that it deserved to be regarded as the institution which protected the liberties of our people against the forces of the international stock-exchange.
>It was the army that still inculcated a sense of responsibility among the people when this quality had become very rare and when the habit of shirking every kind of responsibility was steadily spreading.
>The army trained the people to personal courage at a time when the virtue of timidity threatened to become an epidemic and when the spirit of sacrificing one's personal interests for the good of the community was considered as something that amounted almost to weak-mindedness.
>The wonderful might and power of the old Empire was based on the monarchical form of government, the army and the civil service. On these three foundations rested that great strength which is now entirely lacking; namely, the authority of the State.

Hey, some nice words about dumbing down the population at the end of 234
>The ultimate and most profound reason of the German downfall is to be found in the fact that the racial problem was ignored and that its importance in the historical development of nations was not grasped. For the events that take place in the life of nations are not due to chance but are the natural results of the effort to conserve and multiply the species and the race, even though men may not be able consciously to picture to their minds the profound motives of their conduct.
Page 235 is only notes...

Aaand Chapter 11, let's make a new post

>>2211
I have a good feel about this chapter
>THERE ARE certain truths which stand out so openly on the roadsides of life, as it were, that every passer-by may see them. Yet, because of their very obviousness, the general run of people disregard such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any conscious knowledge.
>People are so blind to some of the simplest facts in every-day life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to know.
>Examples of The Columbus Egg lie around us in hundreds of thousands; but observers like Columbus are rare.

>Each animal mates only with one of its own species. The titmouse cohabits only with the titmouse, the finch with the finch, the stork with the stork, the field-mouse with the field-mouse, the house-mouse with the house-mouse, the wolf with the she-wolf, etc.
Except dolphins because they are degenerate

>Deviations from this law take place only in exceptional circumstances.
>But then Nature abhors such intercourse with all her might; and her protest is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that the hybrid is either sterile or the fecundity of its descendants is limited. In most cases hybrids and their progeny are denied the ordinary powers of resistance to disease or the natural means of defence against outer attack.

>Such a dispensation of Nature is quite logical. Every crossing between two breeds which are not quite equal results in a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two parents.
>the offspring will indeed be superior to the parent which stands in the biologically lower order of being
>But not so high as the higher parent. For this reason it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the higher species.
>The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature.

>Man's effort to build up something that contradicts the iron logic of Nature brings him into conflict with those principles to which he himself exclusively owes his own existence. By acting against the laws of Nature he prepares the way that leads to his ruin.

>Here we meet the insolent objection, which is Jewish in its inspiration and is typical of the modern pacifist. It says: "Man can control even Nature."

>The real truth is that, not only has man failed to overcome Nature in any sphere whatsoever but that at best he has merely succeeded in getting hold of and lifting a tiny corner of the enormous veil which she has spread over her eternal mysteries and secret.
>He never creates anything. All he can do is to discover something. He does not master Nature but has only come to be the master of those living beings who have not gained the knowledge he has arrived at by penetrating into some of Nature's laws and mysteries.

>Certain ideas are even confined to certain people.
> All such ideas, which have nothing to do with cold logic as such but represent mere manifestations of feeling, such as ethical and moral conceptions, etc., are inextricably bound up with man's existence. It is to the creative powers of man's imagination that such ideas owe their existence.

>All that we admire in the world to-day, its science, its art, its technical developments and discoveries, are the products of the creative activities of a few peoples
>The maintenance of civilization is wholly dependent on such peoples. Should they perish, all that makes this earth beautiful will descend with them into the grave.

>In order to preserve a certain culture, the type of manhood that creates such a culture must be preserved.
>But such a preservation goes hand-in-hand with the inexorable law that it is the strongest and the best who must triumph and that they have the right to endure.

>He who would live must fight. He who does not wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.

Aaand that will be all the thing for now.
Tomorrow, 10 more pages, some more quotes and a lot of tiny ponies.

>>2212
And we're back!
didn't realize it was caturday, i wasn't supposed to post on saturday
So, hiteru is talking about...Aryans!

>If we divide mankind into three categories--founders of culture, bearers of culture, and destroyers of culture--the Aryan alone can be considered as representing the first category.
>Within a few decades the whole of Eastern Asia, for instance, appropriated a culture and called such a culture its own, whereas the basis of that culture was the Greek mind and Teutonic skill as we know it.
>It is not true, as some believe, that Japan adds European technique to a culture of her own. The truth rather is that European science and technics are just decked out with the peculiar characteristics of Japanese civilization.
>the real foundations of contemporary Japanese life are the enormous scientific and technical achievements of Europe and America, that is to say, of Aryan peoples.

>In the monotony and routine of everyday life even persons of significance seem just like the others and do not rise beyond the average level of their fellow-men. But as soon as such men find themselves in a special situation which disconcerts and unbalances the others, the humble person of apparently common qualities reveals traits of genius, often to the amazement of those who have hitherto known him in the small things of everyday life.

>Though an inventor, for example, does not establish his fame until the very day that he carries through his invention, it would be a mistake to believe that the creative genius did not become alive in him until that moment. From the very hour of his birth the spark of genius is living within the man who has been endowed with the real creative faculty.
>True genius is an innate quality. It can never be the result of education or training.
Neets rice up (in the oven)

>The most obvious example of this truth is furnished by that race which has been, and still is, the standard-bearer of human progress: I mean the Aryan race. As soon as Fate brings them face to face with special circumstances their powers begin to develop progressively and to be manifested in tangible form.
>The more primitive the technical conditions under which the civilizing activity takes place, the more necessary is the existence of manual labour which can be organized and employed so as to take the place of mechanical power. Had it not been possible for them to employ members of the inferior race which they conquered, the Aryans would never have been in a position to take the first steps on the road which led them to a later type of culture; just as, without the help of certain suitable animals which they were able to tame, they would never have come to the invention of mechanical power which has subsequently enabled them to do without these beasts.
Almost like Hitler sees the Aryans not as an actual modern day race, but as an ancient race of great men that fucked up by mixing with the common folk.

>At first it was the conquered enemy who had to draw the plough and only afterwards did the ox and horse take his place. Nobody else but puling pacifists can consider this fact as a sign of human degradation. Such people fail to recognize that this evolution had to take place in order that man might reach that degree of civilization which these apostles now exploit in an attempt to make the world pay attention to their rigmarole.
Add this quote into any conversation regarding slaves and oh boy you're up for some salt.

>The Aryan neglected to maintain his own racial stock unmixed and therewith lost the right to live in the paradise which he himself had created. He became submerged in the racial mixture and gradually lost his cultural creativeness, until he finally grew, not only mentally but also physically, more like the aborigines whom he had subjected rather than his own ancestors.

>The readiness to sacrifice one's personal work and, if necessary, even one's life for others shows its most highly developed form in the Aryan race. The greatness of the Aryan is not based on his intellectual powers, but rather on his willingness to devote all his faculties to the service of the community.
>For example, he does not work directly for himself but makes his productive work a part of the activity of the group to which he belongs, not only for his own benefit but for the general. The spirit underlying this attitude is expressed by the word: WORK, which to him does not at all signify a means of earning one's daily livelihood but rather a productive activity which cannot clash with the interests of the community.
>This mental attitude, which forces self-interest to recede into the background in favour of the common weal, is the first prerequisite for any kind of really human civilization.

>If the Jews were the only people in the world they would be wallowing in filth and mire and would exploit one another and try to exterminate one another in a bitter struggle, except in so far as their utter lack of the ideal of sacrifice, which shows itself in their cowardly spirit, would prevent this struggle from developing.

Hey you there, reading this, yes again we're getting more from mein kampf Despite how everyone else must have finished the book by now But these quotes have a greater purpose, anyone feeling lazy about reading the whole book can get an idea of what is it about by reading these Maybe even post some quotes around

So, to start with, we have a lot and i mean A LOT about the jews, so i'll leave most of it out because it is too much to quote.

>The first Jews came into what was then called Germania during the period of the Roman invasion; and, as usual, they came as merchants. During the turmoil caused by the great migrations of the German tribes the Jews seem to have disappeared. We may therefore consider the period when the Germans formed the first political communities as the beginning of that process whereby Central and Northern Europe was again, and this time permanently, Judaized. A development began which has always been the same or similar wherever and whenever Jews came into contact with Aryan peoples

>(a) As soon as the first permanent settlements had been established the Jew was suddenly 'there'. He arrived as a merchant and in the beginning did not trouble to disguise his nationality. He still remained openly a Jew, partly it may be because heknew too little of the language. It may also be that people of other races refused to mix with him, so that he could not very well adopt any other appearance than that of a foreign merchant. Because of his subtlety and cunning and the lack of experience on the part of the people whose guest he became, it was not to his disadvantage openly to retain his Jewish character. This may even have been advantageous to him; for the foreigner was received kindly.

>(b) Slowly but steadily he began to take part in the economic life around him; not as a producer, however, but only as a middleman. His commercial cunning, acquired through thousands of years of negotiation as an intermediary, made him superior in this field to the Aryans, who were still quite ingenuous and indeed clumsy and whose honesty was unlimited; so that after a short while commerce seemed destined to become a Jewish monopoly. The Jew began by lending out money at usurious interest, which is a permanent trade of his. It was he who first introduced the payment of interest on borrowed money. The danger which this innovation involved was not at first recognized; indeed the innovation was welcomed, because it offered momentary advantages.

>(c) At this stage the Jew had become firmly settled down; that is to say, he inhabited special sections of the cities and towns and had his own quarter in the market-places. Thus he gradually came to form a State within a State. He came to look upon the commercial domain and all money transactions as a privilege belonging exclusively to himself and he exploited it ruthlessly.

>(d) At this stage finance and trade had become his complete monopoly. Finally, his usurious rate of interest aroused opposition and the increasing impudence which the Jew began to manifest all round stirred up popular indignation, while his display of wealth gave rise to popular envy. The cup of his iniquity became full to the brim when he included landed property among his commercial wares and degraded the soil to the level of a market commodity. Since he himself never cultivated the soil but considered it as an object to be exploited, on which the peasant may still remain but only on condition that he submits to the most heartless exactions of his new master, public antipathy against the Jew steadily increased and finally turned into open animosity. His extortionate tyranny became so unbearable that people rebelled against his control and used physical violence against him. They began to scrutinize this foreigner somewhat more closely, and then began to discover the repulsive traits and characteristics inherent in him, until finally an abyss opened between the Jews and their hosts, across which abyss there could be no further contact.

>(e) But then the Jew began to reveal his true character. He paid court to governments, with servile flattery, used his money to ingratiate himself further and thus regularly secured for himself once again the privilege of exploiting his victim. Although public wrath flared up against this eternal profiteer and drove him out, after a few years he reappeared in those same places and carried on as before. No persecution could force him to give up his trade of exploiting other people and no amount of harrying succeeded in driving him out permanently. He always returned after a short time and it was always the old story with him.

>(f) In proportion as the powers of kings and princes increased, the Jew sidled up to them. He begged for 'charters' and 'privileges' which those gentlemen, who were generally in financial straits, gladly granted if they received adequate payment in return. However high the price he has to pay, the Jew will succeed in getting it back within a few years from operating the privilege he has acquired, even with interest and compound interest. He is a real leech who clings to the body of his unfortunate victims and cannot be removed; so that when the princes found themselves in need once again they took the blood from his swollen veins with their own hands.

>(g) By permitting themselves to be entangled in the toils of the Jew, the princes prepared their own downfall. The position which they held among their people was slowly but steadily undermined not only by their continued failure to guard the interests of their subjects but by the positive exploitation of them. The Jew calculated exactly the time when the downfall of the princes was approaching and did his best to hasten it. He intensified their financial difficulties by hindering them in the exercise of their duty towards their people, by inveigling them through the most servile flatteries into further personal display, made himself indispensable

We're back again!
And we're still going on about the jews, surprisingly accurate to our current situation too

>In order to strengthen his political position, he directed his efforts towards removing the barrier of racial and civic discrimination which had hitherto hindered his advance at every turn.

>The most important phase of his policy was therefore to secure control over the people.
>The Press, the Jew exercised all his skill and tenacity in getting hold of it. By means of the Press he began gradually to control public life in its entirety. He began to drive it along the road which he had chosen to reach his own ends; for he was now in a position to create and direct that force which, under the name of 'public opinion' is better known to-day than it was some decades ago.
>Though bubbling over with 'enlightenment', 'progress', 'liberty', 'humanity', etc., his first care was to preserve the racial integrity of his own people.
>He poisons the blood of others but preserves his own blood unadulterated.

>To mask his tactics and fool his victims, he talks of the equality of all men, no matter what their race or colour may be. And the simpletons begin to believe him.

>(j) A tremendous economic development transformed the social structure of the nation. The small artisan class slowly disappeared and the factory worker, who took its place, had scarcely any chance of establishing an independent existence of his own but sank more and more to the level of a proletariat. An essential characteristic of the factory worker is that he is scarcely ever able to provide for an independent source of livelihood which will support him in later life. In the true sense of the word, he is 'disinherited'. His old age is a misery to him and can hardly be called life at all.

>The division created between employer and employees seems not to have extended to all branches of life. How far this Judaizing process has been allowed to take effect among our people is illustrated by the fact that manual labour not only receives practically no recognition but is even considered degrading. That is not a natural German attitude. It is due to the introduction of a foreign element into our lives, and that foreign element is the Jewish spirit, one of the effects of which has been to transform the high esteem in which our handicrafts once were held into a definite feeling that all physical labour is something base and unworthy.

>Since the Jew is not the object of aggression but the aggressor himself, he considers as his enemies not only those who attack him but also those who may be capable of resisting him.

>Government authorities wrap themselves up in a robe of silence, but more frequently they persecute the victims of Jewish attacks in order to stop the campaign in the Jewish Press.

>(k) The Jewish domination in the State seems now so fully assured that not only can he now afford to call himself a Jew once again, but he even acknowledges freely and openly what his ideas are on racial and political questions. A section of the Jews avows itself quite openly as an alien people, but even here there is another falsehood. When the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the new national consciousness of the Jews will be satisfied by the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine, the Jews thereby adopt another means to dupe the simple-minded Gentile. They have not the slightest intention of building up a Jewish State in Palestine so as to live in it. What they really are aiming at is to establish a central organization for their international swindling and cheating. As a sovereign State, this cannot be controlled by any of the other States. Therefore it can serve as a refuge for swindlers who have been found out and at the same time a high-school for the training of other swindlers.

>The Jews were responsible for bringing negroes into the Rhineland, with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate. For as long as a people remain racially pure and are conscious of the treasure of their blood, they can never be overcome by the Jew. Never in this world can the Jew become master of any people except a bastardized people.

>Culturally his activity consists in bowdlerizing art, literature and the theatre, holding the expressions of national sentiment up to scorn, overturning all concepts of the sublime and beautiful, the worthy and the good, finally dragging the people to the level of his own low mentality.

>Of religion he makes a mockery. Morality and decency are described as antiquated prejudices and thus a systematic attack is made to undermine those last foundations on which the national being must rest if the nation is to struggle for its existence in this world.

Welcome back.
I was wondering about you.

>I have a good feel about this chapter
>THERE ARE certain truths which stand out so openly on the roadsides of life, as it were, that every passer-by may see them. Yet, because of their very obviousness, the general run of people disregard such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any conscious knowledge.
This passage and the following is of the upmost importance.

>>2230
>The Aryan neglected to maintain his own racial stock unmixed and therewith lost the right to live in the paradise which he himself had created. He became submerged in the racial mixture and gradually lost his cultural creativeness, until he finally grew, not only mentally but also physically, more like the aborigines whom he had subjected rather than his own ancestors.
Food for thought. Deep shit indeed.

Disclaimer, I finished it in 1979. But now you offer me a new opportunity to revise it that I can't refuse. Thanks for your devotion to the cause.

Heck, youre old enough to be my father

>(l) Now begins the great and final revolution. As soon as the Jew is in possession of political power he drops the last few veils which have hitherto helped to conceal his features. Out of the democratic Jew, the Jew of the People, arises the 'Jew of the Blood', the tyrant of the peoples. In the course of a few years he endeavours to exterminate all those who represent the national intelligence. And by thus depriving the peoples of their natural intellectual leaders he fits them for their fate as slaves under a lasting despotism.

>Russia furnishes the most terrible example of such a slavery. In that country the Jew killed or starved thirty millions of the people, in a bout of savage fanaticism and partly by the employment of inhuman torture. And he did this so that a gang of Jewish literati and financial bandits should dominate over a great people.

And he did this so that a gang of Jewish literati and financial bandits should dominate over a great people. But the final consequence is not merely that the people lose all their freedom under the domination of the Jews, but that in the end these parasites themselves disappear. The death of the victim is followed sooner or later by that of the vampire. If we review all the causes which contributed to bring about the downfall of the German people we shall find that the most profound and decisive cause must be attributed to the lack of insight into the racial problem and especially in the failure to recognize the Jewish danger.
>The loss of racial purity will wreck inner happiness for ever. It degrades men for all time to come. And the physical and moral consequences can never be wiped out.

>Chapter 12
Aand we get a new chapter

>I shall devote the second volume of this book to a detailed survey of the principles which form the programme of our movement and I shall attempt to draw a picture of what we mean by the word 'State'. When I say 'we' in this connection I mean to include all those hundreds of thousands who have fundamentally the same longing, though in the individual cases they cannot find adequate words to describe the vision that hovers before their eyes.

>The fact that millions of our people yearn at heart for a radical change in our present conditions is proved by the profound discontent which exists among them. This feeling is manifested in a thousand ways. Some express it in a form of discouragement and despair. Others show it in resentment and anger and indignation. Among some the profound discontent calls forth an attitude of indifference, while it urges others to violent manifestations of wrath. Another indication of this feeling may be seen on the one hand in the attitude of those who abstain from voting at elections and, on the other, in the large numbers of those who side with the fanatical extremists of the left wing.

>Looked at from the purely political point of view, the situation in 1918 was as follows: A nation had been torn into two parts.
>One part, which was by far the smaller of the two, contained the intellectual classes of the nation from which all those employed in physical labour were excluded. On the surface these intellectual classes appeared to be national-minded, but that word meant nothing else to them except a very vague and feeble concept of the duty to defend what they called the interests of the State.
>Over against this class stood the broad masses of manual labourers who were organized in movements with a more or less radically Marxist tendency. These organized masses were firmly determined to break any kind of intellectual resistance by the use of brute force. They had no nationalist tendencies whatsoever and deliberately repudiated the idea of advancing the interests of the nation as such

>To-day our Left-wing politicians in particular are constantly insisting that their craven-hearted and obsequious foreign policy necessarily results from the disarmament of Germany, whereas the truth is that this is the policy of traitors. To all that kind of talk the answer ought to be: No, the contrary is the truth. Your action in delivering up the arms was dictated by your anti-national and criminal policy of abandoning the interests of the nation. And now you try to make people believe that your miserable whining is fundamentally due to the fact that you have no arms. Just like everything else in your conduct, this is a lie and a falsification of the true reason.

>arms was dictated by your anti-national and criminal policy of abandoning the interests of the nation. And now you try to make people believe that your miserable whining is fundamentally due to the fact that you have no arms. Just like everything else in your conduct, this is a lie and a falsification of the true reason. But the politicians of the Right deserve exactly the same reproach. It was through their miserable cowardice that those ruffians of Jews who came into power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms. The conservative politicians have neither right nor reason on their side when they appeal to disarmament as the cause which compelled them to adopt a policy of prudence.

Unfortunately no.

I remember the cover picture had a guy sleeping, and a woman and 2 other guys over him going "hush"

Does anybody still give a fuck about potentially the community Fahrenheit 451 reading we started years ago? I already read the book, but the thread fell off.

>>6636
I would be interested in it, i have not tread the book nor do i know what its about, i believe i have heard it be referenced quite a bit though.

>>6636
Somehow I completely failed to notice that this thread even existed, but I would totally be into it. I think it goes without saying that we should start the book over from the beginning though.

>>6637
>i have not tread the book nor do i know what its about

Not the modern nigger version, but the classic British one.

Would you?
