I'm a PhD student of philosophy and quite intrigued, but also amused by the ideas popular on this site, since they are an eclectic combination of conservativism and post-modernism, Enlightenment and Romanticism. Sup Forums manages to be libertarian and authoritarian-collectivist at the same time.
So, are there some philosophers whose ideas you fully endorse?

Josiah Wood
I've never heard of this thinker before, but he sounds a lot like the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory - a philosophy condemned here.
Brody Campbell
If you want to be successful in college, the philosophers of the Club of Rome is a good place to start. They're all globalist, of course.
Carson James
none of them.
Ryder Ward
This is more towards other Sup Forumsacks. OP is probably doing alright.
Levi Perry
Stirner, Evola and Nietzsche are obvious choices.
only Heidegger is relevant for current study, the others are more for historical context.
Sup Forums is just an extension of the Sup Forums hivemind, so to really understand what we believe you need to read about eris and the discordians. most here are neoplatonists without understanding why.
on the whole i am a contrarian radical centrist who enjoys playing two extreme idealisms against each other in the hope to bring about cataclysmic and utopian change in equal measures.
this is done for the joy of it. also because we are the influence makers (those of like mind) we can easily craft tools with which to influence the masses of idiots circling the spheres like schools of feeding fish eager to fight for any scraps of wisdom. this feeds into the egotism that all intelligent people are slaves too, after all what fun is it if you can't take credit?

Edward Feser, Thomas Aquinas and any of the neo-scholastics

critical theory is condemned on Sup Forums because it's considered Jewish
Joseph Stewart
Yeah. Funnily enough, Sup Forums shares most of the Frankfurt School's main concerns, namely, rejection of mass media and mass culture.

>I'm a PhD philosophy student >need others to spoonfeed him his own field of study checks out
Owen Wilson
Sort of? if you've ever read Kevin Macdonald you can basically distill this common ground in the following sense: Sup Forums criticizes mass culture because it is Jewish, and the Frankfurters criticize mass culture because it is Gentile. Macdonald points out that the New Left in America was a largely Jewish movement made up of Jewish left-wing thinkers with a strong Jewish identity and aversion to gentile culture, since they were in a large way reacting to the Holocaust. like a lot of Adorno is pure projection

I don't know a lot of philosophers. In fact I'm afraid of reading about their thoughts and get influenced by their views. I'd rather try to see reality through my own than rely on someone's else perceptions. I remember reading some Descartes book once, very small book, and as I kept reading it I couldn't stop thinking how many assumptions he was making, and wondering if these assumptions are correct or incorrect, and counter-arguments would emerge in my mind shortly after. I remember I could find a lot of things I could refute in that book. It could be said I was thinking in terms of what's untrue, while some claim some thing is untrue, and so on. So yea, I can't help you on your request, but I do want to warn you to think for yourself. Always try to find the underlying assumptions in whatever work you're reading and think deeply about it, but that' just my opinion.

I’m the thought creator, the difference maker, the influence behind the culture, i’m The Phoenix from the ashes. Heh, I know it sounds scary but stick around kid, I just might teach you a thing or two.

George Orwell. He is the classic Left Libertarian, or Libertarian Socialist, which seems to fit well with some of the conflicting ideologies you mentioned.
By and large tho, Sup Forums is best described as NatSoc(ask someone for the related reading list), plus some more Rand.
In terms of what people here think they believe, watch Peterson’s philosophy videos.
Jaxon Taylor
I agree with everything except Nietzsche no longer being relevant. Nietzsche is the Anti Jew, anti Platonist, Anti Cuck par excellence. In fact, I challenge the more educated of you Polsters to read Daybreak or La Gaya Scienza. Nietzsche exposes the Jewry in christianity and how this has cucked the west with Equality bullshit.
If you understood anything of Heidegger you would come to the conclusion that Him and all other fascist children of the post modern world were fathered by Nietzsche. People claim that the Zarathustra was under looked, but in his lasts writings Nietzsche explicitly calls Plato a Jew and a priest (Ctrl-F on the Will to Power pdf which you can easily google). Nietzsche's Anticrhist, Twilight of the Idols and the Will to Power notes are too much for us to handle yet. The only man who came close (which is still far from the peaks of the Nietzschean corpus) was (((Leo Strauss))), that German Nazi Jew who brought the Fascist thought in disguise to America. (((Leo Strauss))) makes Heidegger look like a bitch. Heidegger never managed to contaminate America democracy with weakness. Leo Strauss, with the help of his cunning Jew ways, was able to bring Fascism to America.
That's why the German jurist Carl Schmitt let (((him))) escape the shoah, bc he knew Strauss was a nazi philosopher who would promulgate Nietzschean Fascist principles

Brody Rodriguez
The secretarial office of the Rockefeller Foundation has now informed me that the Foundation’s German Committee has recommended me to the Paris Central Office in the way I had wished. The final confirmation is expected in mid-May. Given that this confirmation has, as I hear, yet to be withheld in any instance, I can now presumably count on being sent to Paris in the autumn of this year. I cannot let the occasion of this communication pass without assuring you once again of my most heartfelt thanks for your support of my application. But it is not only this help in an outward matter, albeit of nearly vital importance, that compels my gratitude to you. Allow me, Professor, to submit that the interest that you have shown in my studies of Hobbes represents the most honorable and obliging corroboration of my scholarly work that has ever been bestowed upon me and that I could ever dream of.
Leo Strauss, letter to Carl Schmitt, March 13, 1932
"Leo Strauss saw through me and X-rayed me as nobody else has."
Carl Schmitt
Reminder Carl Schmitt was an excellent Nazi. And Strauss a Nazi Jew.
Jaxon Walker
Fascism or Die. As long as your Philosophy is not the cucked bourgeoisie philosophy of English Utilitarians, you're good. Preferably read, Heidegger (His lectures on Holderlin, and on the Ancients), Ernst Junger, Evola and Nietzsche. You should always read (((Leo Strauss))) but if /Pol won't forgive a single jew, then fuck it, you won't lose too much.

Everybody is a philosopher, being 'qualified' in philosophy isn't worth the paper it's printed on, in fact, I'd say your own personal views and beliefs are heavily influenced and skewed by others via the curriculum forced upon you.
To answer your question, yes, there are people whos ideas I endorse and people whos ideas I don't.
Daniel Kelly
People major in philosophy to understand how to better structure their thoughts and describe them to others.
Brainlets who do it because 'ima become a philosopher' are too stupid to complete it. Its the highest IQ major of all majors.
Its also completely unnecessary and the degree is worthless, but then smart people realize the academia complex is a scam and dont really worry about such worldly things. Unfortunately half of Sup Forums thinks the bigger your bank account the bigger your virtue and is under the delusion that making money is 'contributing to society'.
You want some good philosophy read Ecclesiastes.

Brayden Stewart
How can we know if we fully endorse the views of a philosopher without peering inside his head? Or if you're talking about their works, without having read everything they have written?
Besides, according to consequentialist ethics, we should only fully endorse ethics if fully endorsing them have positive consequences. Those consequences will vary not only with the philosopher, but with the society they are endorsed within. Hence the question should rather be: which philosopher's views do you fully endorse in your personal context, and which context is that? Or perhaps: which philosopher's views do you fully endorse in each of a variety of contexts?
Benjamin Ramirez
Fascism is just another enlightened, rational-materialistic attempt at creating heaven on earth, like every ideology is. Though it at least tries to copy monarchism, it fails to understand the metaphysical meaning behind the system. The Truth is in the Divine order in the natural world, read the Bible.
