It's been years since I was anything even close to active and months since I even checked this place out but I saw the post by u/JesusSupporter33 and I realized that, despite not being very involved anymore, I don't want this place to die. So, I decided that I will effortpost, at least for a while. Hopefully it sparks interest in others to do the same. No blackpills, no ragethreads, no doom and gloom. Only positive stuff. Nature, self-improovment, etc.

Get your asses in gear and do something productive.

Alright you shits, enough doomposting. Time for some literature. I've been on a sci fi wave recently, so I'm starting with this genre. Preferably post less well known works you think have value. It'd be nice if you include a little info about the books themselves. I'll start.

The Lost Fleet series and its sequel The Lost Fleet - Beyond The Frontier by Jack Campbell are a series of military sci fi. The series is set one-hundred-plus years into an interstellar war between two different human cultures. The protagonist of the story is discovered floating in a suspended animation escape pod one hundred years after he made a "heroic last stand" against an enemy fleet and is suddenly dropped into the role of fleet commander and expected to live up to the legend that has grown around him.

The books have probably the best take on space combat I've ever come across with things like relativistic time issues, comm lag and heavily automated systems due to the sheer speed of engagements. No Star Wars WWII bomber runs.

The characters are pretty well developed and likeable with a large focus of the books being on things like duty, honor and sacrifice. Very little, if any, cheap drama.

The protagonist is not perfect and makes mistakes. The beginning of the books might make him seem a bit like a Gary Stu due to being literally the only guy left alive who knows how to lead a battle in space properly (all the rest died over the century of fighting) but the people around him and his enemies learn from him over the course of the books and get better with each fight. The books are good fun and I can't recommend them enough.

The only downside is that the author isn't that great at writing. The prose is not terrible but I'd give him a 8/10 for plot, 10/10 for world-building and 7/10 for actual writing skills.

The sequel Beyond the Frontier has less fighting (though still plenty) and is more focused on exploration. This is also my favorite take on space exploration from all the books I've ever come across.

Fascism is not a right wing ideology. National socialism is not a right wing ideology. National socialism is centrist, fascism veers left.

These terms also hold no weight, because they change on a whim. Originally, collectivism was a right wing ideology. A staunchly right wing one. But the soviet union did it too, so now it's left wing, and individualism is right wing. "Freedom of religion" was a left wing ideology. Now it's a right wing one, because the soviet union cracked down on religion. Capitalism itself was originally left wing, now it's right wing. Again, because the soviet union existed. And apparently everything the soviet union did was left wing, even though not everything it did was. Environmentalism was right wing and disrupted "progress". Now it's left wing for some reason or another. You get the point. I could go on for days.

Anything that was upheld by the French monarchy during the French revolution, which was originally right wing, that the US did not adopt, that the soviet union brought back (they did that with a lot of things, its complicated), is now left wing. Anything that the jacobins upheld, which is now currently upheld by the United States in particular and the west in general, which the ussr did not adopt, is now right wing and conservative. The dichotomy has held no meaning because it keeps switching sides.

Another one: Faggotry was on the radar of approximately zero groups of people until recently. The soviet union hated faggots, Marx, and any other socialist writers never mentioned them at all, the west hated faggots slightly less. But faggotry is left wing because.... uhhh.... because it just is okay? Ignore the fact that every left wing state actively killed them.

Do you see how these terms have no actual fucking meaning?

Third positionism in general is usually not right wing period. Though it *can be*. Though because of its ties to mussolini, it's founding father, who was a recovering marxist, and based his ideas around heterodox socialism, it usually is decidedly not right wing at all. It's almost universally anti reactionary, and is typically anti capitalist.

Some third positionist movements, namely falangism, were almost *far left*. Fiscally closer in ideology to the soviet union than to Hitlers Germany or Mussolini's Italy.

What's the common current then? Everyone knew about the jewish issue, nationalism, religion, and race, which is why Hitler aligned with the Falange. They would never agree on fiscal policy. Who cares? They agreed on the menace plaguing the planet. That's what matters.

Language is a powerful tool. Jews police it. By throwing around terms like "left" and "right" you give leverage to the nu-speak that they have invented to dumb down politics and conflict into demonizing one group and praising another.

That is all.
