holy shit if this is the same poster then you are fucking insane, you contradictory piece of shit

you complain about the presentation of plebian kitsch, get your bullshit called out, then backtrack into saying that you would actually appreciate someone really owning their plebian kitsch collection? wtf? do you know how stupid you fucking sound,stumbling about for some semblance of coherence when you've clearly been ripped apart?

jesus christ man you keep just proving what is being said about you. you know there is a reason people gravitate toward montaigne and kafka instead of grisham and roberts, right? you stupid piece of philistine shit, you're a fucking david strauss, the absolute antithesis of culture: you're the same kinda of weakling that thinks shakespeare is meme level simply because shakespeare shows up in a lot of memes. classic mistake of the lowliest type of uneducated judgment.

where's your collection?

i'm american. i guarantee i'm better educated than you, and--not that it matters, though you seem to care--that i have a significantly larger and deeper library than you.

have you read much about machiavelli's notion of history? your grandfather seems like a very intelligent man; do you read history to understand the present, to better act in the present--what exactly?

as tiem goes on, note how ishmael becomes less and less a figure entirely: he begins to merge with nature, becoming more of the backdrop than the foreground, fading and dissolving in the solvent of all that is.
compare this to ahab, whose intensity only increases as the novel goes on--the focus shifts almost entirely to his obsession, his desire to dominate nature.

and so the two great forces are defined and set in opposition to one another. which one are you?

what can i say? weakness still lingers in me; i rule over syracuse, but look to athens on the horizon...

i fucking love you--hofstadter is one of my all time favorites. his anti-intellectualism in american life is the basis of my disertation--i absolutely have the paranoid style (another incredibly influential essay on my thought), as well as his essays on goldwater and the rise of the alt-right, and will happilly scan in all.

would you like all the girard as well?

do you know how fucking stupid you look to an objective onlooker? even if >>9161843
>>9161868 were samefags, he produced a great list, while your contribution to "call him out" does--what? a quick, brash, juvenile little tantrum against the irreconcilable backcloth of your abject failure?

...nice rebuttal, well thought out. thanks for proving my point.

i'm going to end this conversation with you now, walk away from the keyboard, and go casually live a life you would seemingly give anything to have. good night.

I haven't read any plays since GCSE. What would you recommend?
