ITT: Essential pseud-core

Sun Tzu was not himself a pseud

they were super blackpilled by the failure of "48ers", read their old articles from those years

have some pride in your work, straighten that shit out

Oh no, the book itself is fine, it's just treated like gospel by those who have read nothing else.
I almost put 'Meditations' there, as well.

Add Thomas Sowell Basic Economics

...

Tao, Russell's History, The Republic, and Zinn's Peoples History are not pseud

Russell's History is outclassed by authors who give a less biased perspective, and the only reason why his book sells is because of his name. Hence, pseud. There is nothing wrong with Plato's Republic, but if it's the only dialogue by which you read, then you are indeed a pseud. There is way more to Taoism the the Tao Teh Ching, and the Zuangzhi, and tradition has been subverted for its understanding to only be limited to these two works. This is forgivable since all the Eastern traditions have been butchered beyond recognition by the West, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism. I haven't read Zinn, and can't comment on him.

(OP)
the society of the spectacle is not fucking pseud-core its just treated like that by fucking anti marxists such as yourself. libtards in this day and age use it like most other marxist texts in arguments to try and one up people by naming a book this book itself though is alright

This. SotS is pseud if you haven't read any Hegel or Marx.
