/lit/ - Literature

Nietzsche is obscurantist posturing spooky rubbish and the only reason to read him is to then tell other people that they fail to understand him.

All "wisdom" is shit without context and common sense is better (so even a pleb on the street who has never read XYZ philosophers knows the same as you).

This idea that writers deal with philosophical themes / societal issues through writing is usually bullshit when it's done in really abstract ways. woop dee doo, the cup broke when it fell off the table, anyone who doesn't see it as giving us insights about France during the French revolution is an idiot.

When socrates was alive, philosophers annoyed plebs by asking them to back up their assertions.. now it's the opposite.

The only thing more vilified in society than male sexual desire is unreciprocated male sexual desire.

Scientists are in cuck careers and are slaves.

Why is this allowed? Why is this corporatist "let em all in and let the free market sort it out" bullshit pushed as the new morality?

Why is man hating woman worship pushed?

Well, those are dumb questions, we all know why this happens. I'll think of a better question. Why should I (and all of us, assuming you're a cool edgy university educated 18 - 30 year old sub-Chad male) contribute to mainstream media shit like this, give to charity, avoid tax avoidance, act selflessly, care about "culture", when it's all pushed by self interested people / corporations who want to screw me over? That's all it ever comes down to ffs! ALL IT EVER COMES DOWN TO!
