Why is GK Chesterton not more widely read and discussed when he was right about so much?
Because he was a stupid, sentimental man, wrong about god, and an incredibly bad aphorist.
Brandon Roberts
He’s better than Wilde, and people can’t seem to get enough of him.

You're going to have to pick one, OP. Chesterton a shit.
"The trouble about x in y, is that there is not enough y in x. Oh dear me I am so clever and I have such bad teeth darling please fetch my cape the pope is great also FUCK eugenics ok." -t. sentimental idiot who, Void willing, will be made ridiculous by the Chinese in coming decades.
Connor Sanders
We Catholics know all about Chesterton, OP, and rest assured we're taking his lessons to heart.
Jonathan Johnson
Yes, you seem to like everyone apart from Jesus Christ himself (Mary, Chesterton, the various saints...)
Jaxson Hughes
We like Christ a lot, we eat Him every Sunday.

Leo Carter
>Predicts how British elites will import Muslims to change population Where does he make this prediction?
Because he's a Catholic and precisely because he was right about pretty much everything.
We all know how much the A/Gnostics, in all their variations, like to sperg out about anything Catholic.
His "The Maniac" Chapter from Orthodoxy is still the best modern argument against In-fashion-Nihilism
Eli Jones
I read the man who was Thursday and really enjoyed it. In the introduction it written by him it said that our world through increasing degeneracy is becoming for like a world of apes and angels than humans. I like that - apes and angels
Alexander Jackson
He is still read in intelligent Catholic circles.

What are his best books ?

Had the misfortune of Conrad writing the Secret Agent, a literary masterpiece and a massive slamdunk on the Man Who Was Thursday.

Chesterton is solid btw. Man Who Was Thursday was really enjoyable.
Mason Robinson
His novel The Flying Inn is about a future England ruled by a "progressive" Islam. Sadly it's quite a neglected book these days.
Zachary Baker
notice the low IQ stylometry of anti-Chesterton fags
Wyatt Allen
Are Father Brown stories worth reading?
Hudson Watson
only Catholic nerds know or care about Chesterton
Ryder Johnson
Because he was a vague rhetorician who had nothing substantial to say.
Nathaniel Thompson
yeah
Chase Edwards
nah
Dominic Lee
maybe
Brayden Smith
The power elite hate traditional Catholicism. It's the only thing that can stop them.

Catholics worship upper class British people like American Protestants worship Israeli's.
Justin Johnson
100% this. The forces of darkness (many of which are actual people, not just demons) have spent the last 100+ years trying to destroy Catholicism. They almost succeeded, too, but they won't ultimately triumph.
James Miller
I don't know
Hudson Ward
Yeah, the Catholic church has done a great job of that itself.

>The Flying Inn is a novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1914. It is set in a future England where the Temperance movement has allowed a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam to dominate the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate". The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pumph (see also Humphrey Pump) and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily prevent the police taking action against them.
