I'm not sure where that my contention was at all otherwise. Since we're bandying fallacy terms around, that's a strawman suckah.

>You have a real fuckin weird definition of genre mate (>>2113213)

Your language appears contemptuous of my opinions here, particularly with the 'real fucking weird' and the faux chummy 'mate.'

So, no, it wasn't just that you thought my ideas were 'weird' or 'strange,' you also wanted to contradict and demean my arguments. My reaction was appropriate, I thought, particularly as you had no idea going in of what you thought genre was and were consequently criticizing me for no reason (it's either that or you didn't bother to get a good idea of what I was suggesting that genre was).

Now, you're upset because I got you to fall for the easiest trick in the book, one that undermined your position because it forced you to implicitly admit that your idea of genre was mine, just lacking a few subtleties.

>and you haven't shown me the idiocy of anything. i said a position and then you hurf-durfed all over the place and acted like you know the horrible secret of genre and really my position was the same as yours. really don't care if you're gonna be a dick, was just kind of curious why you held such a strange idea about genre.
Consequently, this is a load of crap. Unsubstantiable and silly.

He's posted it twice and obviously thinks it's too dang funny for words, the smug little cunt.

>"judgemental clarity"
This was a clunky bit of verbiage I put to paper out of fecklessness. But are you really worth my eloquence?

>self entitlement spoiled children have because they get a free ride to college
I'm in Britain doofus. I've got a student loan I'll pay off pretty nice and easy.

>your fake religion of "political correctness."
Oh there's justification and lots of it, for my pan-humanistic, anti-misanthropic worldviews. Here's a taster >>2068079. I've studied under the best for Arab history so today you're particularly fucked.

Is he just good for his Wittgenstein stuff? What are his crown achievements?

>"this is not high class literature so please don't post it on this high-class board for literature" is the most played out dumbest meme.

Was this whut I said, fool? Was it? Was it truly the 'most played out dumbest meme'?

Actually it was a response to the way that OP responded to the Harry Potter books, valid, but better on /co/ where plot holes are the difference between good and great stories than on /lit/ where the story is often half the story.

well if you wanted an unintellectual response to a frankly unintellectual, trivial and bigoted question, you should have gone to 7chan. You brought the flaming on yourself, I'm afraid.

>You're smoking pot? That explains things.
I told you not to take the easy ad hominem, but you took it.

>He may say this, but it isn't true
What kind of retard criticizes something someone doesn't say?

>There's no such thing as totalitarian communism.
True, but a whole load of totalitarian 'socialist' regimes have been made in the name of communism. Zizek criticizes this trend.

>The way Lacanians treat his writing like a doctrine is inexcusable, as it allows for no advancement.
The one example you've provided of a doctrinal Lacanian, Zizek, has written criticism of Lacan's work.

>Secondly, his entire academic career was spent coasting on the ideas of other men, most notably Freud, and whatever alterations he himself made were fallacious and delusional.
We've described the functionality of Lacanian psychoanalysis and how it improves on Freud's univalent psychoanalysis. The ISR circuits allow for a more realistic contiguity between reality and perspective.

>His only personal accomplishment is being the greatest pseudo-scientist in the history of the world's greatest pseudoscience: Freudian psychoanalysis.
Poor-core assertion, you're gonna have to go digging to support that.

>The singular worth of his work is that it provides us with an insight into his own inability to actually be a legitimate psychologist.
Some of his patients commited suicide, but as someone has already said, most psychoanalists don't take suicidal patients. Modern psychology has little to offer patients other than medicine.

Your position is weak sauce right now. You better come up with something good soon.
