/lit/ - Literature

tragedy?
failed emancipation?

Are you describing what these ideologies advocated or what their consequences where?

For National Socialism there isn't much difference, but there is in bolshevism.

i was banned from /lit/ for saying 'niggardly' once.

i resent that. This thread has an interesting premise and has fruited many great contributions and analysis from the /lit/ community.

If you have something to contribute, please do so. If you're too intimidated or gormless to respond meaningfully then please vacate the thread.

You are the ignorant one if you think the only alternative to believing that
>America commits just as many atrocities as any other powerful nation has ever done.
is
>America has never done anything bad

Goddamnit I am the first to criticize America, but Chomsky can't seem to see things within any meaningful historical context.

In 100 years historians will look favourably back at the liberation of the Iraqi people from the bloody tyrant Saddam and not so favourably on moralistic populists like Chomsky.

Suicide as a way to provide a comforting death in the end of life to avoid a painful death is okay with me.

Suicide as philosophical confession of life being too much for you is for me a cold rejection of freedom and the humiliating surrender to death.

Twain

You must mean existentialism.

Camus was anything but sad.

>restless intellects are often drawn to the anchor of religion and the reassurance of ritual and community, its moral guidance and transcendance of things temporal

Tolstoy tried this, although he was conscious how intellectually suicide religion is. He even wrote his own Gospel, removing all the miracles and supernatural feats of Jesus and mostly recorded the humanitarian and pacifist things he said.

In the end, even this wasn't sufficient to resolve his exception intellectual search for some metaphysical stability.

>Most importantly, it's important to remember that "God" isn't synonymous with the American God

No, but the American God (or any example from the numerous amounts corrupting, authoritarian deities you want to choose) will always be there as long as people continue to believe in absurdities like religion.

Cut off the head and the body will die.

it's only glasgow's trendiest bar, all the cool kids go there. Don't worry they'll be plenty of huggs to be had since tommo is gay, bb won't engage with any female who doesn't have precisely the same literary taste as he does and I have a girlfriend.

Hey look i'm in a creepily obsessive compilation image

I'm supposed to be going to class to sit the first sitting of my NAB, a test necessary for me to sit my final test. Instead I'm chillin out maxin relaxin readin.

However, I already have my unconditional place and I can always sit the NAB again next week or whatever.

I was about to know that feel bro, but then I realised you were a gigantic faggot.

Don't refer to it directly, just say 'you'.

Because I understand that wit wasn't an evolutionary quality necessary for females because they could attract mates with their physical beauty alone.

The only female comediennes you will find usually have an excess of testosterone/are lesbians and their humour is often crude and masculine.

you know i'm right

The correct choice is quite clear.

I don't want this thread to descend into stormfront faggotry.

>sometimes you're cool
That means a lot coming from the coolest cat on /lit/.

>even attempting to apply a numerical value to a concept as abstract as happiness

You certainly raised my happiness level, OP.
