/lit/ - Literature

Another /pol/ thread. Perfect! I love when people just shit on things I love. I can't wait to see this whole board full of Trump/neocon memes or turned into a giant comment section about the current events. Good one, OP.
>Can politics ever truly be removed from literature?
We all know you don't care about the answer.
We also know there are good political novels, there are non political books that are extremely political too and you can find books and authors without any ties to politics.
Who cares about Aesop's political ideas? You can't find his political ideas in his fables.
When the brothers Grimm decided to put the Germanic folklore in book-form, they did something extremely political without even noticing. They compiled the stories that a poor Prussian woman would tell her kids after a hard day at work, the saved the forgotten oral tales from poor farmers in the middle of Pomerania. This was an exaltation of the Germanic people, something fantastic during the period when you look at the context.
Jorge Amado was political and he knew how to write a good story. He was a communist during the right-wing dictatorship, but he used to follow a Brazilian-African religion and you can see these things in his book (great books, btw).
But none of this matters.
Just like the SJW who never played a game in his/her life wants to shit on the new Japanese RPG or rewrite that dumb tv show, you want to shit on the board that talk about books, tv shows, animes, films, sports, fitness, music, fashion and so on.
Now you are what you hate. Congratulations.
