/lit/ - Literature

>The spectacle, like modern society itself, is at once united and divided. The unity of each is based on violent divisions. But when the contradiction emerges in the spectacle, it is itself contradicted by a reversal of its meaning: the division it presents is unitary, while the unity itself is divided.

Pic Related and Symbolic Misery.

I swear this is just a guy saying some random buzzwords one after the other, hoping that some of it sticks. It's 200 aphorisms that make no fucking sense whatsoever, just pure rambling.
Am I too dumb or is this truly unreadable ?

What does /lit/ think?

What a load of bullcrap. Literally indistinguishable from the trad idiots.

My best friend in the whole wide world is getting his mind poisoned with Marxist drivel.
He's currently reading pic related.

What is some Right Wing, Traditionalist, Conservative, Reactionary literature?

Please recommend me some books to counter the poison.

The Society of the Poop

non-ironically

what is the spectacle /lit/?

what does /lit/ think?

Read the part about spectacular time; modern time being broken down into empty, homogenous units combined with the pseudo-cyclical time of everyday allowing the temporal commodification of 'experiences' in time off work.

If by pursuits of interest you mean fetishistic cult impulse tied to phantasmagoria, then yay I guess

I suggest reading the commodity fetishism section of Capital just to read pic related

Wtf I hate the media now

This is literally just a Marxist trying to explain the phenomena that /pol/ calls Cultural Marxism.

I have a fear of engaging in the works of thinkers and artists who killed themselves. Especially philosophical works.

What am I in for with this bad boy? Will it fuck me up?

Literally the banksy of philosophy. DUDE SPECTACLE LMAO. the corporations maaan, they are brainwashing you maaan. like you don't have to work maaan, you can be a lazy piece of shit and smoke weed all day, just say you are an 'artist'. basic economics? what's that? not groovy, maaan sounds bourgeoisie. I'm sticking to hegelese word salad.

nobody is fucking forcing you to buy anything. only people who are weak minded would let themselves be influenced by advertising.

is all art spectacle? is getting pleasure from reading a bad thing?

what might living authentically even include?

ITT: people who don't read but frequent a literature board argue in favor of the status quo and to those in systemic power
