What is the most wrongthink book you've ever read?

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

A reasonable dindu? I should check it out, for the sheer outréness of it.

Washington was the child of slaves (was a little kid when slavery ended) and worked in a West Virginia coal mine before going on to attend a Reconstruction missionary school. He founded Tuskegee University (the really famous old Black one), which in those days was one of those places that made students work trades to pay their room and board, and the Atlanta Compromise, which was a sort of informal peace treaty between Black and White Southerners by which the Blacks would focus on vocational training and industrial education to become prosperous/productive but submissive in the political sphere. Washington believed that Blacks could earn, so to speak, the respect of White Southerners as a path to integration. He leaned conservative on basically everything and was very religious. Washington was heavily involved in the Cotton States and International Exposition (a world's fair in Atlanta that was symbolic of the New South), other activism/organizing for the New South, and had something to do with the Negro Building in Nashville.

Washington's main rival was W.E.B. du Bois, a spoiled New England Black socialist who wanted to prioritize political equality first but also was an elitist that believed that only the "Talented Tenth" of Black society (he means himself) could do anything useful. Like a sort of vanguardism.

He notably opposed reparations (on both familiar grounds and the grounds that even in his day Black Americans lived more comfortable lives than Black Africans), opposed bloc voting for the Republicans (it would piss off their White Southern neighbors and would lead to the Republicans taking them for granted) and generally held a sympathetic view of White Southern people. He was loved in his area and students and products of his University were highly esteemed.

In academia Washington is hated (house nigger) and du Bois is loved. FYI du Bois also compared the workday to slavery whereas Washington had this almost manic fervor for work.

You essentially live in du Bois' world where America pre-1960s was Washington's world.

Hamlet's Mill is a book that's remarkable for the amount of schizobabble it can fit on any one page. Unless you're tuned into the same occult wavelength as the author(s) you probably don't need to read anything beyond an opening summary of the book's principle thesis. Hamlet's Mill basically argues that myths as we understand them are not able to be understood by us because they are written in a kind of primeval jargon that borders on semiotic/philosophical astrology. The attempts to understand this jargon fail to convince or to reach anywhere conclusive. It's interesting that there's a "connection" between the Mesopotamian monster that dwells in the "fortress of intestines" and the snake-faced god of the Aztecs, who might or might not be Mercury. What this is supposed to mean is never discussed. I think the book is meant to reintroduce the modern man into a glimmer of the conceptual harmony that our ancestors saw between the heavens, the earth and the underworld. This is my best guess anyway. Regardless it could be written as an instruction manual for a mass casualty event. Hamlet's Mill merits the Wrongthink Pulitzer for how much it was panned by contemporaries for the delusional methodology and hatred for all things modern. I think that if I took its conclusions seriously I would wander off into the woods in despair that I can't understand the secret meaning of Aesop's Fables.

Most wrongthink? Turner Diaries. Very straightforward story about a fictional White nationalist organization and their asymmetrical war against the US government, culminating in their takeover.
I wish 'Imaginary nazis take over everything and this is framed as a good thing' was an entire genre of literature. And instead of sticking strictly to the modern/current day period, it could transcribe itself onto other genres.

National Socialism : Its Foundations, Development, and Goals (1922 2nd ed.) https://archive.org/details/jung-national-socialism-2nd-ed.-1922/mode/2up
this book was written before hitler took over. it was written to explain the national socialist philosophy and position in a way that anyone can understand. its author was a well educated man and that shows in his work. that said, it is still eminently approachable and digestable to a modern audience. this i think makes it a better book for understanding national socialism than mein kampf, as mein kampf was written for the very specific audience of german people, specifically veterans, who had been through ww1 and thus requires a lot of studying up for anyone who isnt from that specific place at that specific time.

Hamlet's Mill

I picked up a second hand copy of this a while back be star I’m quite interested in the nuggets of truth in old myths and have never read it, I might give it a go again, I felt like I was nuts after about ten pages but if it’s supposed to be like that…
I’m going to put an odd one in: ‘sanity, madness and the family’ by R D Laing. Laing was a psychiatrist and I don’t think a very benign person either - he worked at the Tavistock for starts. But the book is interviews with schizophrenic patients and their families together, and it’s showing how the families literally twist and drive one scapegoat into insanity. It’s a genuinely disturbing book, you read the interviews,they’re just written out verbatim, and get more and more disturbed by it.

I'm incredibly suprised nobody has mentioned:
Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak

Here's an archive link of the PDF: https://archive.org/details/JewishHistoryJewishReligionTheWeightOf3000Years

One of my favorite books that I've read that goes in depth and answers the fundamental questions of why Jews act like Jews, goes in depth on some of the Talmudic rulings and the general theological bend that Judaism has and how that influences in turn the state of Israel in the present. My favorite section of the book is when he focuses on classical Judaism and exposes some aspects of the religion that are really shocking to the outsider, even to someone like me that already hated Jews. For example, his full explanation of Kabbalah that exposes Judaism as explicitly polytheistic which I will quote below (pg. 30-31 of Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak):

According to the cabbala, the universe is ruled not by one god but by several
deities, of various characters and influences, emanated by a dim, distant First Cause.
Omitting many details, one can summarize the system as follows. From the First
Cause, first a male god called 'Wisdom' or 'Father' and then a female goddess called
'Knowledge' or 'Mother' were emanated or born. From the marriage of these two, a
pair of younger gods were born: Son, also called by many other names such as 'Small
Face' or 'The Holy Blessed One'; and Daughter, also called 'Lady' (or 'Matronit', a
word derived from Latin), 'Shekhinah', 'Queen', and so on. These two younger gods
should be united, but their union is prevented by the machinations of Satan, who in
this system is a very important and independent personage. The Creation was
undertaken by the First Cause in order to allow them to unite, but because of the Fall
they became more disunited than ever, and indeed Satan has managed to come very
close to the divine Daughter and even to rape her (either seemingly or in fact -
opinions differ on this). The creation of the Jewish people was undertaken in order to
mend the break caused by Adam and Eve, and under Mount Sinai this was for a
moment achieved: the male god Son, incarnated in Moses, was united with the
goddess Shekhinah. Unfortunately, the sin of the Golden Calf again caused disunity
in the godhead; but the repentance of the Jewish people has mended matters to some
extent. Similarly, each incident of biblical Jewish history is believed to be associated
with the union or disunion of the divine pair. The Jewish conquest of Palestine from
the Canaanites and the building of the first and second Temple are particularly
propitious for their. union, while the destruction of the Temples and exile of the Jews
from the Holy Land are merely external signs not only of the divine disunion but also
of a real 'whoring after strange gods': Daughter falls closely into the power of Satan,
while Son takes various female satanic personages to his bed, instead of his proper
wife.
The duty of pious Jews is to restore through their prayers and religious acts the
perfect divine unity, in the form of sexual union, between the male and female deities.

Here's a reading of the whole book done by Pete Quinonnes that I thoroughly enjoyed linked below as well:

 

[Kankichi Ryotsu]

Mein Kampf. It's a lot less bombastic than people think, a lot of it is just outdated geopolitics and Hitler's personal biography. Very chaotic with lots of different topics being covered. I don't know why people want it banned, I doubt this would change any minds unless you were already leaning nazi to begin with.

I don't know why people want it banned,

because hitler is the satan of the postwar international jewish world order.

 

[Jarch6]

The books I had in mind have already been mentioned but I'll briefly add some of my own thoughts on them

The Bell Curve - one of the first redpilling books I ever read, funnily enough the race and IQ section was such a small sliver of the book. It remains as a good introduction to IQ and the impact such disparities have upon society - would recommend. (for a shorter treatment Haier's The Neuroscience of Intelligence is good, or one could read The Science of Human Intelligence by the aforementioned author et al. for a fuller and academic look at the subject)
200 Years Together, For my Legionaries, and Hitler's War (alongside the rest of Irving's books) - All good books to read regarding the second World War. I'd add Mein Kampf to the list but I've never actually read it as there is no good English translation for it at least as far as I'm aware.
Turner diaries - skimmed through it during the 2016/murdoch murdoch days for the meme, pulpy and ostentatiously edgy, not really worth reading.
Unabomber manifesto - his comments on leftism were particularly well put
The Camp of the Saints - The prescience and accuracy put on display here is astounding, it left me with a horrible sense of unease after reading it - I nonetheless recommend it.
Crania americana - a.k.a. the book by Samuel George Morton about skull sizes that that the neo-lysenkoist, kike, hack Gould lied about (later proven to be libelous through remeasurement of the skulls). The book is only really interesting as a historical curiosity; for proof of the differences in average brain sizes, larger and better (through the use of MRI) datasets already exist. It is nonetheless interesting to look at for the beautiful lithographs (I have a fondness for the wood carved or lithographic illustrations used at this time) and the quality of writing employed. Given the rigor of humanities education in the past (oft requiring the study of Latin and Greek in order to apply to for a university education) it shouldn't be too surprising that a scientist of that day was a good writer, but the writing is nonetheless impressive (read through his introductory lecture on anatomy to see what I mean).
I've also read through some evola, spengler, etc. and recommend them but don't have much to add - at least at the moment - that hasn't already been said better, elsewhere

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler. This is the history of Khazaria, a short lived kingdom that existed in modern day Ukraine and Russia. Basically this kingdom mass converted to Judaism out of a sense of preservation to hold off the Christians to the west and Muslims to the south. Khazaria was the kingdom of big brained centrists who were fence sitters. Khazaria declined after a couple centuries and the Mongols finished the job. This book is considered controversial because it meant a large percentage of Jews weren’t from Israel after all and it was published in 1973, right when Israel sovereignty was being challenged by the Arabs. Koestler hoped the book would end antisemitism but instead it was treated like anuddah shoah. Which leads to…

So does it make an actual compelling link from Khazaria to the Ashkenazim?
I've always seen this brought up by Christian Neo-Nazis who are assmad at the idea of their religion having also been founded by their mortal enemies. As far as I understand genetic testing, which should solve it decisively, basically outright proves there's no connection. I don't know how the fuck Jews wound up in Germany in the first place to become Ashkenazim.

The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand. Sand asserts with lots of evidence that Koestler’s claims were not only accurate but that most Jews’ DNA is similar to the goyische that they reside by. Johns Hopkins released a study around 2012 that was meant to prove once and for all that all Jews came from Israel. When that study was found not to be the case, it was memoryholed. You can still find some kvetching about it here and there.

Google claims 81%, which sounds correct. They look like White people with big noses. Not just in the same sense that Arabs do, either, they're Germans. They spoke a German language (Yiddish). They married Germans.

Now, I'd imagine that a ton of ultraorthodox types would be upset by the idea of the Ashkenazim being created by Jewish men breeding with Christian women since they have a matrilineal descent (would imply their race are somehow degraded lesser Jews).

 

[Rootless Cosmopolitan]

Mein Kampf: I’ve read it and I thought it was interesting from an historical perspective, but reading it didn’t magically make me a Nazi. I can’t believe it is censored in so many places. People should be able to read whatever they want.

The Strange Death of Europe: this one definitely made me more pro natalist and anti mass immigration. It explores in depth the social problems caused by demographic decline plus mass immigration in Europe and it’s pretty sobering.

The Bell Curve: honestly, everything Murray and his co author say about race in this book is pretty mild. I was persuaded that there may be intrinsic racial differences in IQ, but also persuaded that this shouldn’t matter as much as it does. We really exacerbate the problem with the weird quasi-quota system that is affirmative action, setting up even very intelligent black people to fail. I became convinced that meritocracy really is just better for everyone involved.

The High Cost of Free Parking: okay so this is an enormous drag, but surprisingly spicy. I never thought about how many parking spaces were needed for each car in order to make the car useful. This sounds really almost obvious, but it wasn’t to me when I picked it up. Criticize adding more parking anywhere and boomers will come at you to REEEEEE and threaten to kill you even more than would a danger hair when you tell her you’ve read The Bell Curve and Mein Kampf.

The Lords of Easy Money: a centre-left take on the mismanagement of monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve and its local and global impacts. Somehow way more subversive to read a take from a guy on the Left who comes to pretty much the same conclusion as Ron Paul.

Tell Your Children: a nonfiction book/polemic arguing that the massive increase in mental illness is caused by the normalization and broad adoption of marijuana consumption. I’m not 100% convinced, but tell a stoner friend that you’re reading this and they’ll come at you with a knife (double points if you yell over your shoulder that they must have marijuana induced schizophrenia as you run away).

 

[Billy Bob Dick]

Book IV/Magick (Aleister Crowley) - mostly woo woo horseshit, but some interesting ideas about meditation and self-hypnosis as well as an explanation of Thelema/The Law ("Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law").

The Teachings of Don Juan (Carlos Castaneda) - Anthropology PhD student successfully publishes a bestselling novel based on his doctoral "research," which is later proven to be utterly fraudulent. On the plus side, contains extremely detailed descriptions of mescaline tripping which are (purportedly) mostly accurate.

Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors (Rex Feral) - Paladin Press' crown jewel; supposedly a how-to manual written by an actual hitman but later revealed to be fiction by a divorced mother of two. Several high-profile murders were subsequently committed by people following the instructions in the book.

All The Trouble In The World (P.J. O'Rourke) - Republican gonzo journalist, Harvard Lampoon alumni, and Rolling Stone freelance writer P.J. O'Rourke systematically debunks everything from man-made climate change to the "dangers" of overpopulation. One of the most controversial books of the 90s.

Kill Or Get Killed (Rex Applegate) - Revised 1976 version is the official hand-to-hand combat instruction manual of the USMC. Spells out a disconcerting number of explicit ways to incapacitate or kill a man, including a rather stomach churning description of crushing a guys nuts and then cracking his skull on a hard surface. Minces no words and pulls no punches. I studied martial arts for over a decade before I came across this book and realized everything I'd been taught about self-defense was bullshit.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I don't know why people want it banned

because hitler is the satan

Hitler is the devil of the "woke" cult, and also "wrongthink" incarnate as well.

(Although Trump is pretty much in that same place, in the eyes of SJW cultists.)

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Since I've now read most of the books, I'll give this a one time bump in case any new wrongthink books can be mined from this thread.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

A reasonable dindu? I should check it out, for the sheer outréness of it.

Read about Thomas Sowell too. He was the Based Black Man (TM) of economics and history. Not really that high-powered of an academic, but a popular intellectual.

 

[Pentex]

Mein Kampf. It's a lot less bombastic than people think, a lot of it is just outdated geopolitics and Hitler's personal biography. Very chaotic with lots of different topics being covered. I don't know why people want it banned, I doubt this would change any minds unless you were already leaning nazi to begin with.

The point of the exercise has less to do with Mein Kampf or Herr Adolf Schicklgruber, than with our liberal overlords establishing a precedent by which they can, by operation of law, ban certain political works from publication/circulation.

The Camp of the Saints - The prescience and accuracy put on display here is astounding, it left me with a horrible sense of unease after reading it - I nonetheless recommend it.

One of my favorite books and not even because of the Street-Shitter Menace.

The Camp of the Saints was Raspail's fictional answer to Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (Mein Kampf for blacks) and Sartre's 1961 preface (lacking the courage to call for the destruction of Whites, Sartre uses the term 'settler' instead). It is more an indictment of universalist/humanist cult that has taken root in the West, aided and abetted the Third Worlders in their resentment of Western Civilization while fomenting a desire to plunder Europe/America as 'retribution' for colonization (interestingly, they would not have the ideas or language for this unless they had been indoctrinated by Western thinkers).

Thread Contribution:

The Most Wrongthink book I've ever read is probably Germany Must Perish! by Theodore Kaufman in which proposed the forced sterilization of all German men under 60 and all German women under 40, along with the break-up of Germany as a country, on the basis that the Germans, by their very existence, oppose the existence of any lasting peace in Europe and the world. Goebbels read his pamphlet and said "LOL, thanks for the propaganda, jude."

As for the one I actually own, a copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn old enough in publication to have Jim being called by his actual and proper name.
