When posters have meaningful interactions, this is evidenced by posts that demonstrate they understand and have read the material they aim to discuss.

An example might be discussing Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Some anon once made a post fixating on the use of the word ceremonies, which is almost immediate in the play. It revealed an undercurrent of meaning in the entire story and nicely explained the typical question of how, despite being the eponymous character of the play, Caesar barely pictures into it. Rather it is his spirit that animates the plot, which ties nicely in the etymological and meta-narrative point being made. This was a 1 in 10,000 post on /lit/, it was really excellent and could have made for a proper dissertation even.

What the fuck is justice, /lit/?

Plato will be remembered a thousand years from now. Chomsky will be forgotten in our lifetimes, he has done nothing. The only reason you or anyone knows of him is because he's a safe figure for the establishment to promote as a subversive intellectual. Of course this disguise is as artificial as his 'fame'.

What gave it away? Was it the attribution date a year after Cicero's death?

I'll start, what exactly is meant by line 72 here in Richard II, "What comfort, man?" I really don't understand and the "transcription" is not anywhere near satisfying,

This is for you wog
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!
