/lit/ - Literature

What compels anyone over the age of 18 to write Young Adult fiction?

When did /lit/ become more right wing? I've been browsing here since just prior to the election (and 4chan since 2013) and remember it being more lefty politically (though with less of the Reddit homos you find on /his/ and more the sort of irreverent pseudo-anarchist sorts that historically comprised the bulk 4chan's userbase).

I can remember around the time of the election that you started to see Spengler threads getting between fifty to a hundred posts, and the same with Mishima (who I came to learn about through one of Jonathan Bowden's lectures, at least, I think I did). But they would always die out for lack of interest.

Now it seems like we have a lot of "right wing" threads that actually gain traction and occasionally even result in good dialogue. Was there an influx when Pewdiepie did his videos about reading? (I don't really follow him at all so I would have a hard time approximating whether or not that lines up with the increase), or is it just that the dissident right is gaining momentum?

Who was the author that /lit/ had a sticky on recently? He was a Catholic author who died and his books sounded interesting.

Not nice, frens.

Do you always post these threads, fren? I had the guy pegged as an east coast burger based on the frequency. He always posted around 6 to 7 PM PST, which is like 10 PM EST.

Good point, fren.

Could you explain this to me as though I were retarded?
