Can someone explain American culture to me?
(hexbear.net)
I legitimately don't know what Fraternity is and why it's normal in America and why these dudes are standing like this.
Fun fact: This goes back to Leland Stanford wanting to do eugenics with students at Stanford University and encouraging matchmaking to breed ubermensch by encouraging top performing students to pair up. Yall should read Palo Alto a History of California Capitalism and the World, that book is fuckin bonkers. I'll try to find a PDF when I get home.
Johnny, you haven't been around long, but you're a high quality poster. Always informative!
So I went looking to track down the pdf and funny enough the only source I could find was this: https://mega.nz/folder/cuMwjRyK#eDPayQSdYFwaCh9qr8zzPw/folder/UiF1RDpT
Which I found through a link on this site. There is a boatload of other good material in that mega folder too including a bunch of audiobooks. That should probably be linked in the sidebar or something and also @Cowbee@hexbear.net would probably love to have that as one of our resident scholars.

There are PDFs, EPUBs, and MOBI on libgen, z-lib, IA, etc.
Edit: in Combat Liberalism in that mega folder
And the result is exactly as anyone could predict: Bad.

Yeah I have not really looked over everything in that folder but I found there was a ton of good shit in there especially audiobooks.
There is. I have downloaded everything and will hopefully look through it soon.

I'm certainly no scholar, but this is a really cool find! Thanks for linking it for me!
That's kind of you, but I'm much closer to a hobbyist nerd than a scholar, I'm no Losurdo. But thank you!
That's why I respect you though. Of all the people out there the ones that are real good ones are the humble ones. You may not like it but you are one of the best posters on here.
Just because it is a hobby for you the label of scholar still applies in the literal sense.
Well, that's extremely sweet of you to say, thank you comrade!
Also did you check out that archive I posted? There are a lot of works on there I do not see discussed enough here or in general. It's all mostly focused on decolonial Marxism and has been fascinating to go through.
I did get a chance to check! Looks super interesting, and I'll have to dig more into it at some point.
