With the death of 4chan and it's /lit/ community, it would be good for us to share our memories of the site. So respond with what you loved, what you hated, the highs and the lows. Use this as a way to articulate the impact the board had on your own life

I doubt that 4chan is really dead. 4chan always sucked because a lot of boards didn't allow for audio on video files, and you could not upload PDFs, and jannies could be overbearing at times. I preferred 8chan back in its pre-2019 phase. This place seems comfy though, so I will see if it is any good.
I hope it's gone for good
I’m surprised it’s still down ngl. It might actually be over for them

It is. They're never gonna allow any pdf files or audio. Pure cancer and the jannies are the same faggots, no thanks in full caps ser

Man, the Turner Diaries are a manual of what not to do. Everything after the workshop/factory is just pure nonsense. Anglos would be a pure pr disaster. The whole white-mason and sucide plot is disconcerting.

It's competency porn with a shot of purity spiraling and esoteric suicide.

Turner Diaries is good for learning the memes as an art-piece (Day of the Rope comes to mind), rather than concrete actionable material or theory, I agree. Covington was an absolute piece of shit who went after actual ethnic nationalists and allies, behaved like an egregious schizophrenic jew, and it's good that he's dead now for the damage he did. However, his books and especially the non-fiction books did a very good job of aggregating militant strategies (War of the Fleas, the cell structure, etc.) and counter-counter-intelligence tactics (vetting people, organizing), offering a working constitution and legal framework, and ideas.

>Man, the Turner Diaries are a manual of what not to do.

What are you talking about? I never said the Turner Diaries was some sort of manual I just used it as an example of how it doesn't stack up to the Northwest Quintet in scope. The Turner Diaries stand as some sort of guilty-pleasure fictional bloodletting that veers into fantasy at times and doesn't hold up well to reality. Pierce was delusional if he though irradiating large swaths of the Earth with nuclear weapons was a way to ensure the health and vitality of the White race into the future.

The man was complicated and he made himself that way through his own actions and ego. The purity spiraling he demanded was often to such an extreme that it's a wonder his organization had any members at all. Still I won't completely condemn the man for even though his personality was often too rough and unforgiving for most from our side his intentions were geared toward the survival of our race. Even though he didn't achieve much I respect what he tried to attain.

Hello, anons. I've been inspired by picrel to deconstruct this undergrad degree into a publicly available body of books after finding good copies through Library Genesis and Anna's Archive. If anyone is interested, let me know -- especially if you can think of any additions on a graduate level beyond this.

So far, I have pulled the titles and authors from the picture, and sorted them by name. I will post the books in a combined and organized archived file if anyone is interested after I'm done downloading and checking for the best copies available.

 • Meno
 • Protagoras
 • Gorgias

I know a few people who went to Thomas Aquinas, high reviews from all of them. I have an MA from a similar institution and can provide some input based on that.

First, for anyone planning on working through this or any other list by yourself, don't immediately discount secondary literature. A lot of editions include an introductory essay, and there's an abundance of material on the reception of any text worth reading to be found on the internet. There are people who have devoted their entire careers to understanding one book, and it's worth it to be open to their insights, even if you ultimately reject them. At the very least they can often help you get a sense of the context of the work.

Regarding that specific curriculum, while excellent, I would say it's way too long and technical for most to reasonably work through. It also neglects a huge chunk of what I would argue is necessary material from the late renaissance and reformation period, but that's unfortunately pretty standard in the anglosphere. All of German philosophy is downstream from the reformation, not least exemplified by the fact that most of those thinkers were themselves or at least raised Lutheran, but I digress. The list is not bad at all and anyone who manages to work through it will have achieved something significant, but I would cut it down substantially and add the following in order to make it a feasible undertaking.


- illiad
- Odyssey
- Agamemnon 
- Alcibiades Major (the traditional starting point for Plato)
- Symposium and/or Apology
- Republic
- Nicomachean Ethics
- Aeneid

Thank you for the effort-posting. I'll continue to synthesis the project with what you've said in mind.

I have no background with this institution or related ones (my own is from STEM research universities, the rest was all self-taught), but I was deeply struck by the comprehensiveness of this curriculum. I felt urge to create this project, to shore up my deficiencies, along with offering other anons the ability to teach themselves with a clear guideline to the backbone of what made our past civilizations great even if it doesn't have an immediate utility (hence a classical education).
Are there any free online resources somewhat in the style of Khan Academy for those wanting a classical education?
Thanks
>>56 (OP) 
I made a mockup of a classical education "system" (really just progress tracking) here: https://rentry.co/ourchanreadinglist

I admittedly haven't read really anything on this list, so I don't know whether or not it's good. But if nobody sees any major issues I can go ahead and start adding hyperlinks to read the material, maybe do estimated time reading, etc.

I think it was the most important book of the 20th century.  Every now and again you read a book that  is a revelation to you, Our Enemy the State is one of those books.  It's only 100 or so pages long, but when you've finished it, nothing you see going on the world is a mystery to you anymore.  Once you understand what The State is, why it exists, and what it exists to do, everything crazy, seemingly nonsensical, about politics and society that ever perplexed you, won't any longer. 

This book is simply mind blowing, much like Machiavelli's The Prince.  The book doesn't shit you with stupid ideologies, and political dogma.  It lays bare the cold, hard bare truth of why things are the way they are.   There is no other book written in the last 100 years I would recommend higher than Our Enemy The State. Must read, is a buzzword, like Seinfeld is must see TV.  No, this is the real must read.  The real thing.  If you only read one book in 2025, make it this one.

Do NOT forget the gullibility and lack of interest in truth of the masses which is crucial for the lies to stick
this is why they need to keep the goyim dumb AND busy with state enforced rituals like masking and composting

The key is intergenerational brainwashing through the state propaganda machine they call education. If we didn't pipeline people in this as long as we do, almost all the big lies would fall apart. It's not that the public is truly dumb, it's just that they were born into an eggshell of other people's ideas and never get to see what they don't know.

Note how many schools claim they teach "critical thinking" and you should follow sources etc. But all they do it telling kids to follow this ((( source ))) and you will pass the exam/presentation (good grades), if you use non-kosher sources: As a kid you will get bad grades which will fuck your academic prospects in the future, if you managed to pass that stage and then choose not to use "reputable sources" in higher education, you shit won't get published. 

Repeat lies, then they become "truths" in their heads. Forcing people to parroting words on paper and orally for more than a decade is a very effective indoctrination, and it really works statistically. It only breaks apart when the things you were taught contradicts your experiences. Which we are seeing with people (especially men) under ~35. Shit is too ridiculous to believe.

There's no point trying to convince them otherwise, you've just got to give them what they want. Hell you can be the bigger kike and cry about how evil nazis stuck wood logs up jew's asses to sissify them because there's probably a CNN report on that - and you'll pass! Its silly - and I know that its saddening because kids don't know better and for the most part just nod - but personally, I will embrace the silliness.

People are already doing this so may as well make a thread. Spend an hour or two reading every day and you're already ahead of 80% of the general population in skills and development.

Such a simple thing but with effects so profound. I pity those fools who watch mind numbing industrialised goyflix content all day instead of delving into 2000 years worth of knowledge available instantly online.

Would add to your list and drop some charts, but currently reorganizing all of my storage devices so not available on hand. Will do ASAP.

Lord of the rings is actually a good comparative mythology for the modern world. We are in the fourth age. Sauron and saruman are yaweh and the jews. Uruk hai and orcs are mulatto and niggers. Numenor is atlantis and gondorians are the aryan descendants of numenor and atlantis. Valinor is hyperborea. Aragorn is hitler. I mean think about it tolkien had a dream of atlantis and woke up with the taste of saltwater in his mouth. Plato learned about atlantis from the Egyptians. Egypt was an aryan colony during the time of atlantis.

Frenschan (F) used to have book review threads, where anons would do a meaningful summary of works they had read. I think that would be a good idea to have here. At one point they even turned it into a book club where a bunch of anons would read and discuss a particular work every 2 weeks.

I am looking for specific thread, it was among the biggest of sort. Some faggot commie made thread about "money le bad" or some gibberish like that, but the frenschads quickly changed the main topic of discussion to religion. Few posts were really golden, especially exposing Christianity in it's entirely jewish origin, jewish laws, jewish roots and entirely based on jewish traditions for jewish people. Do you gave that thread saved, fren? It's not even the truth that was said in them, but the eloquence that was used that really struct me. Especially I liked the part that biblical proto-christians sacrifice goats, one for god for shit and giggles, another to satan to appease him or whatever kek.

Same guy you were replying to earlier here, but different flag. I posted this URL to another thread.

https://archive.md/frenschan.org

There is over a thousand snapshots of Frenschan there including threads with dozens of replies. The thread you seek may be there. On POL under the 8chan thread Stu one of the original founders of Frenschan is answering questions and he has stated that him and the other owner Hizzy have the site backup and someday they will release it but not before they find a way to strip all IP's from every post. The thread you seek would be there if anywhere.

Nevermind I found a screenshot on the Wayback Machine of Hizzy's post on the matter of the shill dropoff but unfortunately the full thread wasn't saved.

Another fren here brought up memories of the old book club from Frenschan. I didn't participate in that one but the discussions were interesting and I almost was goaded several times by my interest to take up reading the books of the club myself. Even though I didn't help out in the original one I would like to start a new one for Ourchan. We could stick to books from free e-libraries and archive sites to save costs for everyone and lighthearted discussions could follow afterward on what was taught and gained from the reading experience. Note taking is optional but learning from the material is key.

There's a few on the wiki page for them (this type of poetry predates the kamikaze though)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_poem
>>40 (OP) 
An excellent source is Yukio Mishima's death poems and writings. He was deemed unfit for service, including some buried aspirations to be a kamikaze pilot. He admired them and took inspiration from them. If anyone studies the man and especially the circumstances of his death many years after the war, they'd know he was more than capable of being one.

On top of this, he was already a remarkable writer and poet from the years when he would have been called to service and carry out his duties if allowed.
