>that image
I went to stay with my Godmother in Florida a few years ago for Christmas (I’m from rural England), I took a trip driving down to the Florida Keyes for a few days, drove all the way back to Fort Lauderdale from Key West one evening. I swear, an hour of the journey in south Florida approaching Miami all looked exactly like that image, it might’ve been because the traffic was slow at times but it must have been dozens of miles unending of the same parking lots and stores surrounding.
It’s pretty bad in my country now but I’ve never had an experience of geography that was so bizarrely monotonous, and I grew up close to the fens, truly burgerpunk. I had a similar experience when I walked through my the suburbs where my Godmother lived to go to a publix one evening, but nothing like the hundred mile stripmall.

He didn’t like postmodernism, he expressed surprise that people found IJ so funny, a lot of the content of the book that people think is ironic is actually sincere

Absolutely terrible bait
Just to clarify, Guenon belongs in the trash as well

>How does /lit/ keep up with the times? Do you subscribe to major publications like the NYT, WSJ and WaPo? Or literary magazines like the New Yorker and Paris Review?
Yeah, because I really want to hear what some Jewish Brooklynite thinks about current events or books.

Is there anything more autistic than "world building" ?

Islamists are usually well educated and middle class. Fundamentalism is a way to cope with the dislocation and stress of modern urban life. There are no "semi-literate warlords" in Riyadh, Ankara, or Tehran.

It's ironic though, because you're a literal communist, and you're standing up for religion, which according to your prophet is the "Opium of the Masses." I guess as long as brown people are doing religion it's a-ok from a commie perspective.
