(Part 2) Top products from r/CringeAnarchy

Like others have said, this is obviously participation bias. Those who purchase the book are likely to rate it highly.

You can see the exact same thing has happened with Milo's book, Dangerous. It's currently sitting at 4.9 stars from over 2000 reviews, which is just as ridiculous as Hillary's book having 4.8 from over 1,300 reviews.

Milo's book has 4.9/5 stars from 1,657 verified purchases (2,005 total).

Hillary's has 4.8/5 stars from 1,356 verified purchases (1,408 total).

Compare this to The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri sitting at 4.2/5 from 961 verified purchases (1,251 total).

I don't think anyone's saying that either of these books are better written than The Divine Comedy, just that both books are bought by fans of those people, who are likely to rate the books highly afterwards.

Yep! A memory hazed nod to Colbert's far better phrased quote in I Am America and So Can You!... good stuff.

Not kidding, I have a bunch of cherry MX and I almost prefer the ones I have with cheap Chinese switches. It's like typing on bubble wrap.

Highly recommend the Anne Pro 2 with gateron blues


the quality to price ratio has gotten a lot better over the last couple years

You're right, there are some really interesting-looking areas in Pyongyang, as well as some cool buildings like the Sci-Tech complex or the Great People's Study House. They're almost all concentrated in areas for tourists and Party employees though, and one thing you don't get from pictures is the rot. Everyone who visits North Korea says that even in the tourist areas there's constant signs of decay- stains in the carpets of government buildings, weeds overgrowing the sidewalk, broken lights, plumbing that doesn't work, constant power outages. In Brad Martin's book he describes being shown round a hospital, the staff proudly showing off their medical equipment... some of which was rusty, all of which was out-of-date. The city is a kind of cut-rate Potemkin village.

Don't forget this one.

It's not hard to understand once you understand the driving principles. This dip/crash was predictable.

> Muslim "apostates"

Guess we're gonna have to start with basic vocabulary here. An apostate is someone who followed a religion and then left it. Medieval Christians wouldn't consider Muslims apostates.

Here, take a look at a different view of the Crusades.

Who didn't used to be considered white… at least according to the title of How the Irish Became White

It's called Tale of the Body Thief.

No they didn't: https://www.amazon.co.uk/12-Rules-Life-Antidote-Chaos/dp/0241351634/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=345V3O1MUTHYH&keywords=jordan+peterson&qid=1555171829&s=gateway&sprefix=Jordan+&sr=8-1

Free market to an extent.

Skimming the wikipedia page doesn't make you an expert on the economy. The markets were not planned, but the government stepped in when the health of the nation depended on it. Ebs and flows were common and expected. Subversion of the nation/the peoples would be dealt with.

Do actual research of the economy, don't be a retarded right winger who sees "socialist" and thinks "holy fuck nazis were left wing communists".

i remember reading the mayflower back in highschool and squanto pulling a dick move that screwed over both native americans in the area and the pilgrims, but completely forgot what or why.

>Gender is not biologically structured

Source: tumblr and some liberal arts professor.

Bullshit. Gender is a product of a specific behavioral center in the brain being conditioned by the balance of test and estrogen in utero. That's why real transgender people exist: sometimes the balance swings them in the direction that opposed their chromosomes.

> I'm overweight. I know it. It's my fault and I'm trying to lose it

Real Talk, different shit works for different people. For me, counting calories was a pain, but i thrived on low-carbing it, as the fellows at r/keto do. The book How We Get Fat and What to do About It by Gary Taubes we incredibly useful.

I hated cardio, but if you ever give lifting a try, check out a blog by sometime redditor Jamie Lewis called Chaos & Pain. Highly NSFW, but very inspirational with good posts on diet, lifting, and guys way harder and manlier than us.

I don't think that any Jew is blaming Poland for the Holocaust.

Some Poles helped to save Jews from the Germans (i.e., the movement Zegota, the underground government organization working to save Jews) and some Poles actively killed Jews escaping from the Germans, this is a well documented historical fact explored in the book "Hunt for the Jews: Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland"by Jan Grabowski.

So we can see there were some good aspects of Polish/Jewish relations during WWII, and some not so good aspects of Polish/Jewish relations during WWII.

Poland has criminalised talking about the darker more troublesome aspects. Which, while being unpleasant, are nonetheless true.

[There is still a ton of links posted by u/cheesemanwub in the post on mass shootings]

certainly many things justify the systematic extermination of groups, an important one being the survival of the nation-state, but that didn't happen here - what happened here was systematic deportation which is exactly the same fate that would have befallen the turks had they been been utterly defeated in ww1. the armenian men were mostly put in labor camps, the old and women and children were deported. the turkish people had to the right to defend themselves from enslavement just like anyone else. the british, french, and russian empires have treated their colonial subjects the same exact way all through out their history. the fucking british had concentration camps in kenya in the 1950s and 1960s for fucksake. the british taught the world how to create concentration camps when they deported the men across the fucking ocean and then marched the boer women and children across the veld and put them in concentraion camps where fully half of them died by 1902.

the entente in ww1 intended to completely destroy turkey. to carve it up and crush it ethnically. russia was to get the caucuses, instanbul, and the turkish straight, the french were going to take anatolia and enslave the turks there, the kurds were going to get a nation, and the turks were going to be enslaved or deported from all that territory and presumably left with a tiny rump territory they didn't actually control. do you have any idea what russians, british, and french have done to ethnic minorities under their colonial control over the centuries? mass murder, rape, and utter enslavement. what would have happened to the turks that lived in areas that were majority armenian or kurdish?

the armenians threw in their lot with the entente in this conflict that we would define (if we applied your definitions evenly) as a war of mutual extermination. the armenians had an army of 50,000 fighting against the turks in 1918. many hundreds of thousands if not millions fought against turkey or gave aid to the entente during the entire course of the war.

your problem is you've never read an objective account of ww1 in the middle east, you don't know what the intentions of the entente were because they were never allowed to carry them out simply because russia collapsed and the french and british were exhausted by the end and you aren't well read enough to know their secret intentions, and similarly you aren't aware of colonial policy of the entente because you are crucifying the turks for doing exactly what the entente and armenians and kurds would have done to them had they won a complete victory.

if you'd like to learn about history and not just parrot back propaganda, here are two decent books for a neophyte.
