/lit/ - Literature

Redpill me on copywriting.

Is it ethical? How do I get good? Any useful books on it? Also, why the fuck did mods delete this thread the first time?

Pour one out for Thermidor. They're closing up shop. It wasn't always a GOOD site, but it was always an interesting one.

I attend a better school than you do and my IQ is, statistically speaking, probably much higher than yours. I'm not interested in being an author because I want to help society, not leech off it like a Marxist pseud. I have intellectually conquered /lit/ and forced you to another website that isn't even allowed to be linked to on 4chan. You've lost and failed, like leftists always do

Accept your umpteenth failure like a man, or at least a women with a sense of integrity, and peddle your pinko crap elsewhere. The game is over, and so is this conversation. You're not wanted here.

Young people are entering adulthood later than their parents' generation. Adults are living with their parents at record rates (15%), and many of those who move out are still supported by their parents financially.

The obvious reasons for this are economic. Student debt and a shitty job market (unemployment is down, underemployment is still a huge and widely ignored problem -- people with college degrees are working jobs that don't need them, and the growth rate of college enrollment continues to outpace the growth rate in degree-demanding jobs). In the US, government policy now allows people to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26.

But that's boring, and there's more to it than that. We aren't just adults tethered to our parents by economic necessity; adults are increasingly immature, aimless, and confused.

Feminism has taught us to (rightfully) hate our fathers. We look at the macho man of the '50s and see a domineering patriarch. We're not supposed to be like him. We've progressed past that, but we haven't replaced it with anything. Young men have no clear-cut role to fill, no cultural model to aspire to. Even "manliness" has been questioned. Likewise, women have discarded the virtue of femininity. These are good things, but with these constraints lifted people are overwhelmed by freedom.
