Let's have statistics

I lean more towards clericalism or Church rule than anything so I don't really have an ideal ruler or at least one that could realistically become actual.

not today, CIA.

1. No idea. Many thousands.
2. Moderate liberal in most regards, SJW type.

1. Goodreads tells me about 300+ books, although that would include short stories, and small poems and not include things I've read for university studies or stuff I've just forgotten to review
2. I don't like the term but neo-reaction/dark enlightenment is probably the closest to my current views.

What is a book?

If I read one volume containing the complete works of Shakespeare, does that count as just one book?

I read plays very often, but only rarely do I finish a whole book of plays from cover to cover. For instance, I own a collection containing six of Ibsen's plays, but I will probably just read the most important ones (having already read one), and leave the two or three little-known ones for much, much later.

Most people on this site lean left so it isn't going to tell you much.

I started reading philosophy and stuff earlier this year, but i would describe myself as apolitical, or a political realist. I believe our current biggest issue is climate change and preparing ourselves for the coming ecological collapse.

>10 books so far this year
>Accelerationist

What is this impending collapse you're talking about?

Around ~750 according to my goodreads, which I’ve had from 2009 til now. that includes poetry and plays though

im pretty left-wing although possibly borderline centrist? it’s hard to pinpoint an exact label

Running out of non renewable resources, the global food supply drying up, and catastrophic damage to major population centers as a result of climate change. The human population of the Earth must and will return to the population level of the pre Industrial age, at best, unless large sections of the Earth become uninhabitable due to ecological disasters, in which case humanity as a whole may go back to hunting and gathering, the tragic final act of human civilization coming to a close with the end of Western civilization.

Why do you believe we're running out of resources and food or that there's going to be major damage to population centers? I think you're jumping the gun with all these assumptions because if the government would act on them and they end up being mistaken, they can cause some serious damage for no good reason.

i've read like 30 books in total. i'm not political at all, i just want a catholic theocracy or monarchy.

1200 books
I would describe mmyself as the very model of an All-Out, No Holds Barred, Take no Prisoners Capital-F Fascist

The facts are there. Several scientists (I've been following Jem Bendell and Rupert Read, among others) are now saying the time for trying to prevent climate change is past, and we should now be preparing for the worst case scenario. Bendell calls it Deep Adaptation. Aside from the facts, I also believe that capitalism, and industrial technology as its product, is a fundamentally irrational force that can't be stopped until the physical world itself puts an end to it. Oswald Spengler and Ted Kaczynski influenced my thought on this matter.

I don't think governments can do anything to stop it. The time for governments and human civilization in general is drawing to a close, brought about by humans themselves.

Very funny bro, believe me I'm laughing.

are you 'on the spectrum'?

What are the facts and why do Jem Bendell and Rupert Read believe we're running out of resources and food, and that major damage to population centers is going to take place? It's not enough to merely assert it to make me believe but this is all I get from people like you. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of reason involved with your beliefs.

Okay then here's a few facts
>The ice caps are now melting at an unpredictable rate every year, surpassing scientists projections
>They are thought to contain methane, 25 times worse than carbon dioxide if released into the atmosphere when the ice caps melt, and if that does occur, climate change will become a runaway loop as the climate gets exponentially hotter and melts more ice releasing more methane
>17 of the 18 hottest summers since record keeping began have occurred since 2001, and they keep getting hotter
>In the UK there was a month long drought in the heat wave last year, almost unheard of in a country where it rains every fucking day
>Climate change aside, renewable energy is not as renewable as people think: in order to construct something that produces green energy, it has to be built with non renewable energy, so while it might be a small scale long term solution, renewables can never replace non renewables

how the fuck is ice supposed to contain methane gas exactly?

Let's assume the ice caps are melting at unpredictable rates. What does that tell us other than they're melting at unpredictable rates? You say they're thought to contain methane, so does that mean you're not sure? If they do contain massive amounts of methane and it gets released, how do you know it will have the impact you think it will?

You're not explaining to me why you believe we're running out of resources and food, and that there's going to be massive damage to population centers. There's been a lot of hot summers, so what? Random droughts have always been a feature of our life on this planet. The fact that one occurs doesn't tell us anything.

I don't know why you're talking about renewable energy not being renewable.

Roughly a couple dozen books this year

Traditional absolute monarchy all the way, remove the cancer of liberalism and give us social order

I am interested what you guys are reading?

I've read about 40/50 classics or so (along the lines of Dostoyevsky, Hugo, Dickens, Tolstoy, Proust, Goethe, Dante, Homer etc.), plus a few books on platonism/neoplatonism and history of religions.
Politics are irrelevant. Humans will act as bad as the laws permit them. I find ethics to be more important.

ancient greece: a political, social, and cultural history.

Between 55 and 65 full length, adult books. (Just a guess though)

ok this is epic

i'd say 50-100, i haven't kept count.

i'm pretty apolitical really. viewing the world through the lens of ideology to solve problems is never a good idea.

>he hasn't read art of deal yet

My () favorite books are War and Peace and The Death of Ivan Ilyich. I usually immerse myself into the literature of a certain "epoch" that appeals to me until I feel fed up with it. Currently I'm into early 20th century American literature and I'm really enjoying Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! being my favorite so far. I should add, though, that I'm mostly indifferent towards politics.

Still beter then Clintonfags

No I haven’t. I’ve read Getting to Yes, The Power of a Positive No, and the Goal. These motivational books were for undergraduate study and I have no interest in any more of their ilk.

I agree, the solution to a problem will always have to align with the ruling ideology of the political system that's trying to solve it. Therefore, certain details and nuances are omitted, and the end result will almost always resemble something like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole (cliche i know).
Humanity has always failed to deal with the complexity of it's societies, still I feel we should keep making an effort towards a system that encompasses as much as this complexity as possible. We might have to look to artificial intelligence and quantum computers.

I'm old, and have been reading a lot quickly for a long time. I accumulate books at an absurd rate and have 5000 or so. I'm not claiming they were all classics of literature, but I have really have read many thousands of books. I have no idea how many exactly, of course.
Why confused screaming? The tendency to lean left politically increases as education and knowledge increase, generally. That wasn't always the case, but since the right allied itself with anti-intellectual evangelist morons for political gain and essentially declared war on education, the fine tradition of highly-educated conservatives has really taken a beating.

i thought the thread was about how many books you read this year for some reason

user... comic books and chinese cartoons are not books...

This is just a poor attempt to post pol on lit.

woke

you don't know a very diverse set of people do you? You got to understand that many marginalised folks, for example those who are visibly identified as people of colour or who are identified as queer, you have to live with the knowledge that your life will always be under threat as long as white supremacist terrorism exists. `You have no choice but to be militantly political because your very survival depends on it.

That's not an answer

>Harry Potter Series, Divergent Series, Hunger Games Series, The Handmaid’s Tale

[One= About two hundred or three hundred individual titles. Maybe four hundred novel-sized books actually read? Two= Leftist-democratic-republican with a leaning towards pragmatism, defensive martial, defensive foreign relations, cultural victory.]

In extreme points there's a little overlap, but no, that's a gross conflation. Most left-wing folks are much less about censorship than the media might lead you to think.

There's a lot there besides comics, user.

Same here. Ibsen is pretty good in my opinion so I definitely recommend him even though I've only read about 6 of his plays or so. I find that just about that time period do plays really get interesting again (after Shakespeare) with Strindberg, Chekhov...

the real difference is that while real conservatives desire discipline, order, and social stability, leftists are in a race to be who can be more outrageous and transgress the traditional christian and republican values that actually hold society together

>Implying what crazy crone is far better than hot headed imbicile

You're delusional

according to goodreads I have read a grand total of 179 novels, 48 poetry books (but this includes shit like Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein), 20 plays, and 27 non-fiction books in my entire lifetime since I've added everything I can remember reading to my "read" shelf

No, we just think the idea that "traditional christian and republican values" are the only way to hold society together is steaming horseshit, and are dismantling it to try other models.

>Which are worse than old ones

According to right-wingers, sure. I'm not pretending we're not at war, here.

Nothing ever changes in America, American progressives are the splitting image of 19th century liberal protestants, quakers, abolitionists, free love and/or temperance advocates, feminists etc., just transpose them in our current world, a post christian highly mediated, atomised and uncertain technological society.
