/lit/ - Literature

Who today does not imagine himself an unfortunate,
The world is aligned against the good, against them,
Clutch close rage, unexercised, and devotions, unwon,
Know hunger as martyrdom.

Mediocrity that cross lightly borne, so celebrate all undone,
Piggish potential unburied but mourned.

You find yourself in a place in a dream, a realization overtakes you, you remember you've been here before, maybe more than once, but not in the real world, in this one.

With this newfound lucidity, you begin to piece together fragmented memories of memories, wondering if they are real, or only spontaneously constructed blips to entertain your idle, neurotic curiosity? Are the feelings you're feeling as you begin to recall lifetimes spent in this eerily familiar, forgotten world with her, real? How could they be?

Was she real? Is she here?

How do you even get into nonfiction? I like fiction books because I like to get into the stories and characters, and the only nonfiction I like are memoirs because they're like fiction books. Everything else I get bored with. Even if it's something I'm interesting in learning at the beginning I just get bored part way in and stop reading. I thought I was into philosophy so I started reading Plato and Aristotle, but they both bore me. I thought I wanted to learn history, so I try to read World War 2 history books, but then I get bored and stop reading them and watch youtube videos instead.

I'm generally horrified by the concept of women as "people."
I like masturbating to women in pictures or on video (though even then I feel disgusted by the idea these are actual people after I'm done).
Mainly I think it's really fucked up you could be this submissive, soft, high pitched walking pleasure hole that likes being overpowered and ejaculated into. It's the most degrading assault on dignity I can imagine, and it's somehow a real life thing that happened to around 50% of the world population.
I could maybe respect a woman who killed herself very early on before submitting to that insane biological and social role, but otherwise I mostly prefer not to think about them as actual subjects with thoughts and opinions to avoid creeping myself out.
