Book Club From Hell

Originally published in 2004, 'Can Life Prevail?' is a collection of essays by the Finnish deep ecologist and eco-fascist Pentti Linkola. If mainstream environmentalism doesn't have enough genocide, fatphobia and Finnish waterfowl for your tastes, then Mr Linkola might just make a greenie of you yet.VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671Jack's website: www.jackbc.meLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredTwitter: @bookclubhell666

The Earth is flat, and the documentary 'Level' proves it. Published by Hibbeler Productions in 2021 and narrated by flat-Earth superstar Eric Dubay, Level is a non-stop assault of facts and logic, supplied by household names such as ODD TV, Dave Murphy, Tanner Stewart, Johnny Giampapa, Eddie Bravo and my personal favourite, Santos Bonacci. Levi sat this episode out, so Jack is joined by the famed astrotheosophist Edward.

The discussion dives into Yukio Mishima's 'Sun and Steel,' exploring the intricate connection between physicality and identity. Insights are shared on the camaraderie found in collective physical challenges like marathons, while the absurdities of fitness culture and body image are humorously critiqued. The podcast reflects on the philosophy of beauty and mortality, along with the balance between discipline and authenticity in bodybuilding. Personal anecdotes highlight how Mishima's ideas resonate in contemporary fitness and self-discovery.

American Psycho: chances are, you've seen the film and know plenty of Patrick Bateman quotes. But have you read the book? Published in 1991 and written by Bret Easton Ellis, this novel is an extremely funny satire of modern consumerism, as well as being stomach-churningly disgusting in many places. Levi sat this episode out, and Ed stepped in to fill his shoes. As Ed has watched the American Psycho film at least 30 times, he was definitely in his element.

Alexander Dugin is a Russian political philosopher who may or may not have President Vladimir Putin's ear. A longtime advocate for invading Ukraine, Dugin's book 'The Fourth Political Theory' (2009) offers a Heideggerian framework for developing an alternative political theory to liberalism, one in which American global hegemony will be undermined, Dasein will become the historical subject, multilateralism will allow Russia an expanded sphere of influence and we will avoid the inevitable fate of liberals - becoming cyborgs (this is not a metaphor).VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671Jack's website: www.jackbc.meLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredTwitter: @bookclubhell666

Why is everything so terrible? I'll give you a second. If you didn't answer 'the biologically-inferior acolytes of the distributed bioleninist vanguard party have wormed their way into most positions of power in society and are now remaking society into a grey morass where they have more social prestige than they'd have otherwise,' then you're not merely wrong, but probably a bioleninist yourself. This episode, Jack and Levi explore the world of biological Leninism, a theory elucidated by the pseudonymous blogger Spandrell in three blog posts and one interview. Bioleninism posits that the lowest-status members of society - the biologically inferior - have been corralled by power-hungry members of our society, promised a higher place in the social pecking order in return for loyalty. For this reason, we're all hurtling towards a full-blown ochlocracy and kakistocracy.

American propaganda cinema is great, don't get me wrong. But don't you ever want some variety? That's where Wolf Warrior 2 comes in, a proudly nationalistic, pro-Chinese Communist Party action flick!

Spicy hot take: 9/11 wasn't an inside job. Rather, it was a terrorist attack planned by Osama bin Laden, a Saudi Islamic extremist.For someone talked about so much, few people in the West have heard Osama bin Laden's own words. Instead of listening to the man himself, we had 'counter-terrorism experts' regurgitate talking points into our open mouths and called it a day. Fortunately, Bruce Lawrence edited the book 'Messages to the World - The Statements of Osama bin Laden' (2005), a compilation of 24 of Osama's public statements. It's a convenient way to get acquainted with Osama's thought, which is exactly what Jack and Levi attempt to do in this episode.VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671Jack's website: www.jackbc.meLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredTwitter: @bookclubhell666
