Yes.

What did you think of it?

It reads very much like a realist textbook or something influenced by classical realism. Like something one would expect from a courtier of Cardinal Richelieu or something.

Greene has written a couple of other books I'm interested in reading.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_50th_Law

https://zlibrary-asia.se/book/2329028/509e6e/the-50th-law.html

The first is popular in the PUA community. Something that has direct application to my revolutionary activities.

I think it was a decent read.

I thunk I stumbled upon it after reading No More Mister Nice Guy and The Rational Male.

Apparently staple books for the RM yootoob channel.

Greene is Jewish and you probably didn't know this given that your went this far without mentioning it

Didn't know it. Do you think it affects his work in any way?

Neil Strauss is also Jewish. He wrote the seminal PUA classic 'The Game' that Greene's 'The Art of Seduction' I referred to earlier relies on.

Strauss got to hit on a prime Britney Spears. Lucky yid.

Do you think it affects his work in any way?

good question. what you said about it being a realist perspective is probably accurate. I think that book is an exception because it does juxtapose real life examples of human behavior in a pretty honest way. Now, the question is: where did he get this material. Because it's pretty conspicuous that a jew wrote something like that, and yes jews can veeeeeery easily steal someone's work and cover up every last detail of how it happened - so by default i give them no credit unless there is overwhelming proof to the contrary, but even then I will remain antisemitic.

Overall, I think the book is pretty solid this it's point, though sometimes I think he's relying on "here's a thing that happened, therefore it will always happen this way", and the information isn't reusable or even generalizable in a way that you can use. For example, the Al Capone anecdote where that guy borrow $50k and returned exactly $50k. Now, there IS something to be said for what Greene said where you match exactly something instead of adjusting it one way or another; like you'll frequently see happen in double blind studies for something like taste testing wines where they'll tell people they're drinking 1 or 2 or more wines, then at the end they rate the wines (usually trying to guess which ones are premium, expensive wines), and then they reveal that they were the same wine. In these wine tests, you can imagine that if they had tried degrading or upgrading the wine quality people would make up whatever reasoning they wanted to be true and then say it's fact, but if you keep them the same, then it proves the testers aren't on the ball. Which brings us back to the $50k loan. Had the guy paid back less, that would obviously be a problem, if it were more, Capone might have gotten resentful and thought he should get more or that he actually did make money on it, and instead Capone gained trust for the guy. IDK know that you could reproduce that effect today with people, unless maybe you were in the midst of a lot of distrust (which I think the book mentions), but it didnt seem like a useful anecdote.

Greene seemed to have the most to say about vulturing people's stuff, which is what the book the international jew is all about, and it's the modus operandi of business in america today. and I have seen efficient thieves pull that off.

again, the juxtaposed example he puts in the book really help drive home the utility of the points he's making.

one part of the book i kind of skipped over was the part where he was talking about the chinese woman being brutal with her power, because what a faggot and unsustainable strategy, and if something like that were to happen today, people would make every excuse in the book to cheer it on and we'd just be headed for a long, drawn out disaster. I think that's a flaw in the book (advocating for "women in power"), because women mostly care about tearing people down so everyone else does worse than them rather than building up anything. it was clearly a pointed excerpt to appeal to a female audience.

did you have any specific questions from the book?

I haven't read those other books.

[ - ] Joe_McCarthy [op] 0 points 1 monthApr 6, 2024 23:16:45 ago (+0/-0)

No questions particularly. But I'm a political realist myself so found the book useful. I look forward to reading more of him.

The father of classical realism, Hans Morgenthau, was himself Jewish.

“A political realist always thinks in terms of interest defined as power." - Hans Morgenthau

Henry Kissinger, who finally died at 100 not too long ago, was another prominent realist.

Joseph Stalin was another.

I look forward to reading more of him.

let me know if he has anything similar that's good, but I doubt he wrote that book himself. every time I looked into a jew's work they vultured it from someone else.

Joseph Stalin was another.

really? a commie?

I did a write-up on realists years ago at real Voat.

https://archive.searchvoat.co/v/OccidentalEnclave/1540827

The most notable realists of the last 100 years have probably been Stalin, Kissinger, and Charles de Gaulle.

Stalin rose from nothing to build a superpower. No one else has done that.

Should be read:

Stalin rose from nothing to build a superpower. No one else has done that.

Hitler rose from nothing to create create create a super power. Even the United States derived, and therefore did not create, its own super power, nor did Russia who, like the USA, also used the Third Reich's inventions to make the military they have today. and the world still marvels over the Third Reich's inventions now and for the foreseeable future

[ - ] Joe_McCarthy [op] -2 points 4 weeksApr 15, 2024 22:05:13 ago (+0/-2)

Yeah, you can say that about Hitler. Sorta. The Third Reich lasted as a superpower though for approximately 18 months. Until Stalingrad. It didn't last and was so fleeting as to be almost not worth mentioning.

Yes, it had some points, nothing spectacular
