>I literally can't find memes that represent how fucking stupid you people are.
>>LARPing do-nothing Nazis, suck Jew dick all day
>>LARPing tranny monsters claiming to be women
>You, /lit/, you are the worst offender. It is physically impossible for a tranny to become a woman. It is incredibly dangerous for a /pol/ Nazi to go out and physically fight and kill Jews.
>You, however, in order to realize and legitimize this delusion you use to substantiate your ego, the only fucking thing you have to do is read. That's it. You just have to read an argument, a few fucking paragraphs. Despite this, you refuse to do it. That's how fucking pathetic this shit is.
>You are forced to LARP about being "literate and intelligent" because you have no willingness to actually legitimize your fantasy of being "literate and intelligent" by engaging with people by reading text and making sensible responses. That's fucking tragic.

My argument is sounder than most takes here. Read this description by Aristotle of what a tragedy is from Poetics

“Tragedy, then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative; through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions. By 'language embellished,' I mean language into which rhythm, 'harmony' and song enter. By 'the several kinds in separate parts,' I mean, that some parts are rendered through the medium of verse alone, others again with the aid of song.”

If you’ve read Matthew, you’d know that the coming tragedy is what moves the plot. All the episodes of Matthew are overshadowed by this tragedy. Aristotlean tragedy has all-encompassing unity and that is precisely what you see in Matthew’s narrative. The plot is developed through conflict and it is through this conflict that you see the characters develop in kind.

This is going to be banned probably because mods are allergic to pone, but mlp fanfiction is unironically some of the best literature I've ever read.

My personal favourite is 120 days of Blueblood

>Yes. The ''problem'' of evil is pure sentimentalism
This is true, but you don't want to learn too hard on this argument because at the end of the day all that Christian-posters really have to convince people that Christianity is true is appeals to sentimentality

It's a book that keeps getting posted by the author under the guise of genuinely asking about its nature and contents. The author might be in this very thread, and no amount of shilling will fix his shitty book
