No. Peterson obviously hasn't seriously engaged with Marx's writing, but Zizek never really responded to his critiques. His only response was to (rightly) say that Marx didn't envision things simply as 'le oppressor vs oppressed'. After that it was just them agreeing that they dislike PC culture

you scared little fuckers can't simply do something can you? you always have to have some sort of justification or assurance that you're correct in some way or other. and if society won't give you what you want then you'll scorn the very thing that made you and say you have your "own" way (like it didn't tell you that all your life too) and relate to whatever dead figure pleases you. who are you trying to convince? who are you trying to manipulate? who are you trying to trick? why can't you be quiet, if you're so alone?

A more viable solution would be to construct a /lit/ Essentials chart consisting of what we deem to be the most essential non-meme books, however many that may be- similar to /mu/'s essentials chart- then annually vote for the top 100 books that aren't on the /lit/ essentials chart.

That will keep our favorites on a relevant chart representative of our tastes and makes room for a chart with a lot of circulation an lesser known works every year.

I think that will solve all of our problems, and improve the hype for the annual chart vote

We need to hold ourselves in higher esteem. Even though 99% of us will be shit, the 1% will shine brighter.

Post short writings.

Anyone else scared of the internet? I'm writing a novel about three /lit/ trannies and a beautiful (but /r9k/) lad who meet on the internet and then shoot up non-white people in a mall. With the explosion of modern liberal identity ideology and the related rise of the alt-right and the tension between the internet as an echo chamber and the internet as an agora, people seem more divided into particular ideological groups than ever before at such a scale. We've experienced a period of quiet for somewhere between 40 and 70 years but I think the next time the West experiences a moderate economic or environmental shock, shit will really hit the fan. I'm thinking about civil war in America and radical movements in Europe. Our current stability is taken for granted and society will collapse on its own.

I think entering the digital age - something that's been intimated for a long time but is now fully underway, with entire generations of adults having grown up "on the internet" - is going to have massive ramifications that we are not seeing, or refusing to understand.

Anyone else a collapse fetishist here? Anyone else writing about it?

Look, it's just a fact that all metaphysics was subsumed by physics, a process that started with Newton and has now totally outstripped any of the idiots that find themselves in "analytic philosophy" departments rather than math or theoretical physics departments. nietzsche just called the end and the entire field has been limping along, underfunded, in anglo philosophy departments since then.

'analytics' like to scoff at 'continentals' but continentals are just people who have closed the platonic loop as per nietzsche and have chosen to write beautiful, socially effective sophistry rather than play autistic language games.

As a fellow overambitious dreamer
1) Don't listen to the nay-sayers, they're really more dissatisfied with their own lives than with some random dude's
2) Don't let it get to you, this whole thing is just a game of culture, it isn't really your problem unless you submit to it--but then the point is that a genius-type are those who don't submit, innit?
3) Now tell me you plans

I think the most irritating thing on this board at the moment are people from /pol/ wandering here and making the same "recommend me some right wing books to make me look smart" thread that happens almost daily. The same 5 fascist book guide pictures are posted and then the thread boils down into a left vs right shitflinging match. Then the thread 404s.

for eg:
http://salvage.zone/in-print/from-choice-to-polarity-politics-of-in-and-and-art/

every semester i read this shit i want kill professors. i feel insincerity and torture bleeding up through the writing. language and terminology of identity politics so hideously assertive, self assured. i feel that art is being strangled.

how can i stop giving a shit. i don't want to hate oppressed minorities.
