As a Kekistani I no longer feel safe on this sub.

Is this a tranny thing?
Just to be on the safe side:
Dilate.

Kat looks really cute in her new profile pic.

You will never be a woman.

Why do people always spell cuckold with an H.
There's no H in cuckoo.

What if you're getting butt tortured in the present?

Will Aquinas get me laid?

You shouldn't rape people. It's wrong.

>buy a book of prefaces
>skip the whole book

I thought this was wrote boringly so I stopped reading after the first chapter.

>Martin Chuzzlewit
That's a really stupid name.

>ALL that modernist stuff is total bollocks, don't care a jot for it
>yes, even those writers you pretend to like for their political views
>satire = smirking wojak mask atop seething soijak
>I like poems that rhyme, that sound nice, that convey TRUTH, and make me feel emotions
>the best poetry and novels contain all the philosophy a man needs, philosophers by the very fact they couldn't articulate and deliver their message in an artistic form are unworthy of my time
>the epics of world literature are museum pieces, little pleasure can be derived from them
>my particular, personal, problem with the Greeks is the pantheon of Gods, simply don't care for the idea
>the Middle Ages are even worse with their terrible, moralistic poems featuring personalizations of things like Virtue,
>I don't care for attempts at cleverness in lit and think only fools are impressed by it
>a work of art should be self-contained, you needn't read secondary texts or "get the references" to appreciate it
>I'd rather read an "outdated" work of history by a Victorian with a classical education and beautiful prose than some lifeless turd from the university presses by a hack with imposter syndrome and a narrow specialist mind
>I read for pleasure. It should go without saying that the most pleasurable books to read were EASY to read, just as the most delicious meals are easy to eat. Bragging about having read HARD books strikes me as a pose for those who don't love reading. If you hate reading already you might as well read hard-to-read crap since you're only doing it for show anyway
>the charts on here are garbage and lead to readers without personality
>I distrust anyone whose favourite writers are Dante, Milton and Homer... not because of their works themselves, but because it strikes me as very NPC-ish to have tastes that coincide so perfectly with critical consensus... I respect people who have particular tastes they've formed thru their own reading, even if it doesn't align with my own.
>Saying "X is... le bad" is worthless, talking about books isn't very useful. The only value in writing about writing is to pass on your enthusiasm to others.

>they're wearing spectacles on the cover

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

the ideas we make up in our minds can be followed by our minds; the feelings we have in our hearts are put there by Nature and they begin and end in darkness and mystery.

The same people who thinks it's crazy that a woman could have a penis think a Jew walked on water and was born of a virgin.

Why do the above-it-all well-adjusted sex-havers get so angry when someone on the internet makes a sheeple/npc joke.

I'm reading Larkin's letters rn and they're really comfy.

If you're reading the Kat Kanon you have to start with Radio Silence.

but they don't say anything like that in the excerpt

Poetry without song is like text displayed in sans serif rather than finely wrought calligraphy.
