Prelude or why

Growing up I received what I would call a conservative education. That’s to say: it was a liberal education, handicapped so that it pushed American conservative ideas. There was very little discussion to be had in either of the two educational realms I received. So I seek to deepen my knowledge of various subjects that I’ve had on the back of my mind, and to not be a bitch in doing so.

What follows in several books I’m planning on reading over the course of however long it takes. If you think some would be good for me to read, If by chance someone is reading this send them to me.

Orthodoxy

In a few weeks, God willing, I will be baptized into the Orthodox Church. My Priest had said, though he might have been quoting someone else, that it takes about 20 years to become fully Orthodox. So even after all the learning I did in the Liturgy, in the Catechumenate classes, in the reading I’ve done, I still haven’t completed all of it. So these books I am planning to read are about Orthodoxy.

Philosophy

I do not think anyone getting a degree unrelated to philosophy learns philosophy. As such these books I’ve put here are things I’ve put here are books I’m going to check out to learn

Economics

I have now taken five economics classes (two in college [though one was mostly a history class] and three in highschool) that I believe did not actually teach me anything. The high school classes mostly pushed a narrative that a mixed market system is the best option, and that more regulatory options weren’t good. Though I believe many of their arguments would be good for Austrian economics. The college classes were very swayed in favor of Keynesian economics. I want to actually learn about economics. From the prospective I’ve both barely seen and that I was discouraged from looking into by both of these educations.

Politics

I want to actually understand my politics. So I will go through a few works that I say I agree with, and few works that I want to view to understand

Fascism

Everyone claims to understand fascism, they don’t, I don’t. So I figure what better way to understand what these people believe than to go through read their works as well as a few other things I’ve heard that deal with their beliefs.

Classical Liberalism

Federal Reserve

There are four things I believe are the greatest evils in the united states in this order precisely 1) Abortion 2) Pornography 3) what I’m going to call multiculturalism but is likely something else 4) the federal reserve. I want to learn more about it.

Anti-Democracy

I’m torn on democracy. Everywhere advocates for it, and I have done so too. But I’ve also haphazardly argued against it. I want to know more because I think that there are serious problems with democracy that cannot be addressed by it. Most ANCAPs and Lolberts tend to be pro-democracy if they reject Hoppe. I want to look into this man and his works to understand some arguments against it form a prospective I”m already familiar with.

Waste

Transgenderism

I want to be able to present more arguments against this crap

Misc

These books I put some political value on but don’t entirely match with the categories I have so they’re off to the side.

Jews

I am Genetically Ashkenazi, but I am an Orthodox Christian. During when I was looking into religions I took a peek into Judaism only to find one of my least favorite books, the Zohar, included in with its holy texts. I’ve learned snippets from then that have caused me to be against the religion of Judaism, though superficially. I want to now look into Judaism more closely to argue against it. My goal is to argue against Judaism and Zionism and also against Antisemitism.

History

These are presented without reason. The Mainstream and the communist view is everywhere and was taught to me before. I want to look at the other side and review it with a critical eye or just, actually look at these wars and what’s behind them and their outcome.
