Why have people stopped reading?

Obviously trolling

Ah shit I just fell for the bait.

Too long didn't read

lmao
>let me just pull up this pdf ive had on my PC for 12 years and click to a random page
>LOOK GUYS IM READING LOL I READ THINGS TOO LOL

People look at the phones all day. They don't read, they barely watch movies, and they only watch shows they can "binge".

I can't read

Das fucking right

brave new world is just the story of the Buddha

Books are gay. I started thinking about all the books I was forced to read as a kid at school back in the west and most of those books were written by a very unsurprising tribe of people.

I'm reading your fucking post. My low quality reading materials are your fault.

Ok

Chad Aussie vs. the Virgin Kraut

Reminder that your time is better spent on eternally valuable information, rather than day to day noise that you have little ability to impact.

Excellent book to start out with. Oceania really representing ITT.

Reading books is for faggots

I've read Karamazov brothers, I doubt the average Zig Forumsack understands anything from it.
But to answer your question, I've read Animal Farm and re-read 1984 and a Brave New World.

And fantasy shit is fucking gay

I have read plenty. These last few months off the top of my head I can recommend every book as nearly required reading from most recent:

>Storm of Steel
>Sweden's Dark Soul
>Senso (collection of letters written by japanese during wartime)
>Growth of the Soil

Next on my list is the ancient history of Aratta-Ukraine and Ride the Tiger

Still waiting for my copy of meditations among the peaks to come. I have a feeling that is going to become my favorite evola as I am an alpinist myself.

even worse, you open the pdf file then tab over to ur interracial gay incest porn

Alright mutt, you better look forward to having a president that doesn't suck donkey dicks.

Farenheit's good stuff. Would recommend

I don’t know if that’s a bait or not but I unironacally agree with that

Yes mind poison is also my favourite.

Then you're reading and this post wasn't directed at you, you fucking retard

I knew a girl that got turned on if you read books before, she was fucking insane and belonged in a psych ward.

Explain what a normie like me can do other than vote and convince people in my circle. The big lie of Democracy is giving you an impression of ownership beyond your ability to act.

Long term if I succeed, I may actually be able to make a measurable difference in the future.

You're right... Us right wing white guys are actually illiterate.

Do people really set up casual sex dates in advance like this? I thought people just impulsively met up when they were horny. You actually make plans to be a degenerate?

Lack of an attention span
Wanting instant gratification
Easier to watch Netflix/TV

>Reading
ayy,what a faggot

whats in the jar

im reading Hitler's War atm

Read about 30 books so far this year. Watching TV and Movies is gay, I haven't seen a shit Hollywood movie in about a decade, they are all a waste of time.

>Explain what a normie like me can do
Get me a beer for example. But other than that, maybe just consider moving the fuck out of your shithole? It won't get any better with only two parties.
I don't see how this was only directed to people that don't read.

Seed bank.

Started reading Hans Christian Andersen fairytales today. Wholesome as fuck. Kids need to read this

When I was a kid, I always thought people with a "For dummies" book were actually retarded.

Kek

A java executable.

Quite based. Fyodor was a prophet. Even as he spilled gallons of ink naming the Jew, Einstein loved him and paid him highest compliments.
That, my friends, is based

Do audiobooks count? I listen to them pretty much all day at work.

>Why have people stopped reading?
Nice source.

I read many books in the last year.
Cat in the hat
One fish two fish
Hop on pop
Chicka-chicka boom boom
Go the fuck to sleep

>wall of text
Take your blog post and fuck off, I'm not wasting my time reading that shit.

>maybe just consider moving the fuck out of your shithole
I think about that probably every other day.
Scenario 1:
We're in late stage Roman Republic, we'll get a strongman (like Augustus), and we'll have a few more good hundred years
Scenarios 2:
We'll just collapse all at once, and living in Panama, Czechia, Phillipines, Signapore, etc. is the only way.

Either way I think I can make some money in the meantime.

In addition to my library I have at 100+ titles on Audio..
Too bad they are making me want to puke by trying to jam "White Fragility" down my throat.
Fuck audible for that

Read 3 books this year. Started a fourth.

Dennis Ritchie, praise be, is going to strike you with lighting if you don't unfuck yourself quick, user.

Binge watching is one of the worst types of media consumption that has become far more common in the past few years. It's fastfood TV. The need for instantaneous delivery of demands is a fucking cancer that has infected every facet of our modern culture.

a) It completely blurs your understanding of the story. The brain is just not made to remember stories that long that quickly.
b) It makes you overlook shit writing because If an episode is crap It doesn't matter you can just start the next one without having to stew and get irritable over the course of a week waiting for the next one.
c) It completely disconnects people from a sense of shared culture and understanding, which is one of the main points of art. Water cooler effect is incredibly important for the longevity and success of a TV show, and in my opinion, the enjoyment of that show. To make matters worse of this, because lots of people do enjoy the sense of community and discussion that comes along with new media, there is strong incentive for everyone to binge consume something so they don't get spoiled, and so they can start talking with everyone else knowing that they've finished. Life was just better and easier when everyone was forced to consume something at the same pace because of the realities of media delivery.

As a tangent, the rise of interest in sourdough baking during lockdown made me very happy. Most people will give up no doubt now that bakeries and shops are open again but I hope at least some people stick with it. I haven't bought bread in years.

Bro... Storm of Steel is absolute KINO...
Good for you.
One of the greatest reads ever.

>what's your favourite?
Instantly discarded. Let's discuss the qualities instead of listing our top 10 like we're 11 year old girls.

Sounds like a plan.

>be me
>go to book store
>ask for 12 rules for life
>pretty female employee gets shitty
>takes me towards Kitty Flanigan's 488 rules for life
>tells me it's way more entertaining
>tell her no thanks
>says they don't have it in stock
>ask to order it
>she says they can't
>ask for 1984 since i haven't read it
>she takes me to the section
>it's at the bottom of a classics shelf crammed in the corner
>''omg america is 1984 right now with trump''
>pick up the book
>cover is oily and disgusting to hold
>''do you have a different version''
>she's annoyed
>''what's wrong with that one''
>hand her the book
>''oh yeah this feels gross to hold''
>we don't have another version but have you read the barefoot investor?

and that was the last time i went to a book store, everything is bought online now.

>Lack of an attention span
I just don't know how to stay focused. Anything I read, whether it's a novel, lecture material, a textbook, after 20-30 minutes I start thinking about random shit, the words I'm looking at just merge into one, and I retain nothing. It's quite depressing tbqh

We have enough intellectuals, now we need men of action.

>Amazon censorship and anti-white racism
That is fucking infuriating. I put my account on hold and of two minds whether or not to cancel. There's a lot of free shit out there.

They read more than ever, just instead of deep thoughts and things that make you go “hmm”, it’s shallow surface ideas and easily digested social media drivel. Look at the long walls of text lefties post on Facebook, and how it distills down to a long form version of “orange man bad”, and random sentences about how much they love black lives matter. It’s little better on 4fags but at least people still debate ideas here.

Tl;dr: Chad eloquently says why Dostoyevsky's Karamazov Brothers is a great book ("it's long and thick"), roastie gets wet

Cool, recommend people books on the subject.
You can be a fucking badass with your rifles, but what about us?

I like you.

Ive read like 4 comic books

Books are trash, because the ones who write thing in it, are trash. ANyone who need books is a trash, a weak, effeminate man who need other people tought to be able to think
