   It's actually really funny to see "le dissident right" realize how conservatives are worse than useless

     @sickburnbro btw way, what would you consider a good read on the Spanish CW? I ordered Mine were of trouble, but does that cover the history of it or just the conflict from the authors perspective as a fighter?

     @wizardmanperson so do you want to look at the political portion, the war portion or the international portion.

     @sickburnbro political I guess.I have a superficial grasp on it, and would like to understand better the parallels of how their institutions were taken, and what led to their dissidents rising up.
     The imagery of priest being murdered and nuns being raped and desecrated.
     Also, what parts do you think are more interesting? You seem to understand quite a lot

     @wizardmanperson I find the combat portion of the war less interesting, though there were some pretty dramatic moments, the politics of conservatives and how near they got to losing it all is what really resonates with me.

     @wizardmanperson I've seen Picasso's Guernica in person and I think that maybe impressed a lot on me. It's huge, absolutely huge. It kind of gives you the impression of being immersed in the battlefield.

     @wizardmanperson I want to think on what is the best book and why. I think there are a lot of niche books which serve as insights into different areas and a lot of the sweeping books are libtarded.

     @yockeypuck @sickburnbro @wizardmanperson The Spanish Civil War by High Thomas was really good actually. It's a "mainstream history" but old enough that it gives you both compelling narrative and hard facts.

     @sickburnbro @wizardmanperson Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is actually good. Antelope Hill put out Spain: 1923 - 1948 a few years ago which is a bit dry and propagandistic but full of interesting facts.
