no, they just aren't part of the actual lumpenproletariat, like you are.

you really hear a lot of people in positions of wealth and power proferring off terms like "faggot" left and right, huh?

i know you think that you have some conspiratorial window into the real mechanisms of things, that your prejudices are somehow truer to reality, that i am blind, or politically naive, etc. in reality you most likely are poorly educated and suffer from the dunning-kreuger effect, or some other form of cognitive dissonance.

defending the basic civility of an arbitrary demographic doesn't make me a "faggot," it just makes me a fundamentally decent human being concerned with the well-being of my society. the fact that you have to sublimate that into something else speaks volumes to the poison of your soul.

let me make it clear: attitudes like yours are hopelessly exploitable, despite what you might think. i'm paid to exploit people like you--and i do it well, do you know why? because you make it terrifyingly, shockingly easy.

it depends on what you're interested in, man. there is no "set course," unless you want to do specific trajectories--e.g. greek philosophy, western cannon, etc--and there are plenty of lists online for those purposes. what more specific subjects crop up in your own curiosity/life in this world? i can recommend some pretty deep syllabi--sanctioned by authoritative sources--in a number of categories, it just depends on where you personally and uniquely want to begin.

i have much to say, but it has been a long day and i'm rather tired; for now, i would only ask: what is your opinion of the phenomenon of "fake news" today?

Esprit
pour le jeter
dans la tempête
en reployer la division et passer fier
hésite
cadavre par le bras écarté du secret qu'il détient
plutôt
que de jouer
en maniaque chenu
la partie
au nom des flots
un envahit le chef
coule en barbe soumise
naufrage cela direct de l'homme
sans nef
n'importe
où vaine
