Progress - consisting of technological, economic and moral/social growth - is an illusion. Its priests fervently cling to the idea that material prosperity brings enjoyment and happiness, even though history has shown that only material want and a life of struggle lead to a meaningful existence. In other words, material prosperity doesn't bring about anything apart from misery.
Democracy empowers selfishness. Any political system based on desire is fundamentally flawed.
Is anyone interested in a /pol/ book club?
We could pick a book a week and discuss it in it's own thread.
I just started The Chief Culprit - Viktor Suvorov (2008) today. It's about a russian intelligence officer writing on the reality of the war between natsoc germany and russia. Why it really happened, how it really went down, etc.
I've only read the first 30 pages but considering what would be a boring'ish topic, it's a very easy read and less than 350 pages total. Shouldn't take a few days to read.
If anyone is interested in discussing this book next week after we've had time to read it, let me know. I'll probably be done with it by this Friday.
This is a great book. I think it adds a great deal of proof that Stalin would have attacked Germany no matter what and that Hitler had no choice but to attack Russia.
The main thrust of the book is the detailed study of the type of armaments that Stalin funded and the positioning of these. They were clearly offensive weapons and they were forward based towards Germany. The book is well worth reading.

I'm wondering if anyone has any reading suggestions on Jesus Christ the man? Is there a book or a collection of writings from a perspective on who he was as a person and not who he was as a savior?
I am trying to disprove that he was Alexander, son of Herod and I can't seem to do that.
The books in the bible are all written 300 years after the passing of the historical figure called Jesus Christ, yet there are books about Rome that were made from texts of that time (BC 350'ish) so there has to be texts about Jesus in the time Jesus was alive, right?
When I look at the life of Alexander (pic related) and imagine writing about him 300 years after his passing, I can imagine him having become the historical figure referred to as Jesus for a number of reasons.
(I stated this in another thread)
He was beloved by the people
he completely challenged the Pharisee and about destroyed the religion that is today referred to as Judaism
He had coins stamped with Roman faces so the pharisee could not handle the coins
he had his temple built on a graveyard so the pharisee couldn't enter it and manipulate his teachings or sell coins
he as hanged (by a cord) by his fathers orders (father, why has thou forsaken me?) - the Talmud only makes reference to the historical figure Yeshua (deliverer) being "hanged" not "crucified."
he was said to have risen 3 years after his passing.
His mothers name was Mariam
His stepfather was Joseph
He had close desciples
It goes on. The parallels are uncanny and certainly more than just coincidence. So I'm wondering if there is another historical person that represents Jesus or if maybe history has been twisted to make it so Alexander is really the historical figure?
Here's the lineage:
Herod Antipater - Doris (Herod Antipater II mother)
Herod Antipater II - Mariam of Arimathea (jesus mother from Sepphoris)
Jesus from Galilee/Decapolis (same thing) Includes towns Capernaum and Magdala
I don't have any stake in this discussion, I just recalled something concerning the word "day" upon reading your post:
Segment of time that includes the night ( Gen 1:8 ) as in a twenty-four hour day. "Day" also stands in contrast to "night" ( Num 11:32 ; Luke 18:7 ; Rev 7:15 ). The term may refer to an era ( Matt 24:37 ) or to the span of human history ( Gen 8:22 ), or specify a memorable event ( Isa 9:4 ) or a significant time ( Zep 1:14-16 ). The term often has a metaphorical meaning. A "day" is important largely for what fills it rather than for its chronological dimension.

Christianity's Criminal History by Karlheinz Deschner (abridged translation of volumes 1-3)
"The present book is an abridged translation of some chapters of the first three volumes of Karlheinz Deschner’s ten volume Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums (criminal history of Christianity).
The original volumes in German and also in the Spanish translation that I have been using contain thousands of endnotes, omitted here.
This preliminary translation is only the first step for a more formal translation of Deschner’s magnum opus."

Would you happen to have this text in an e-reader format and/or a link to the complete ten volume work in some digitized format? I can muddle my way through German fairly well and e-books are much more convenient all-around than PDFs.

No, just the PDF but you can convert it to any e-book format for example with https://calibre-ebook.com/download
I found it in German on archive.org
