  • I have bought and pirated lots of physical and electronic books. But I can’t get myself to read them. It’s boring af to read 100+ pages

    Currently I WANT to read:

    • Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
    • Right of Man by Thomas Paine. Either the original or the interpretation by Christopher Hitchens
    • Some poems by John Keats
    • Finish by John Acuff
    • The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller

    The last two ones are actually the ones I would like to read. The others are important but extremely boring and little irrelevant by today’s standards







  • If a band of deranged communists came running towards you with weapons, because you don’t agree with their idea of establishing the perfect marxist utopia in the whole world, what would you do? Sit there and try to negotiate with them? They are too brainwashed for even a single rational conversation. By sitting there helplessly, you are making their job easier for them

    By your logic, the Allies shouldn’t ever have fought wars against the Nazis. They should just have went to some “international peacekeeping organisation”





  • When you are running a mainstream public service, you should be automatically obliged to uphold every dissenting speech. Otherwise, you will end up effectively censoring free speech

    I know instances don’t have to technically do that. But the same argument can be said for countries too. Islamic fascist countries like Iran say, “we will run our country whatever way we want”, which translates to murdering atheists, homosexuals, non-muslims and apostates, axing every obvious right, etc etc
