this. people will squee, but its actually a higher form of actualization. Its only in putting your life on the line does one know their core stuff. an espace from mediocrety. In a 9-5 you never really get that. Not even pro-fascist or anything, but its true. People are against it mostly from constructed ideology.

>Gestalt

Canadian intelligentsia revolves around capitulating to indigenous sentiments, usually only when those sentiments are held by a minority of indigenous cultural elite and not the majority of Canada's indigenous population.

The fact that this literal book burning, an event that holds extremely negative connotations normally within western society, does not faze these people is not surprising. It is cloaked in the noble savage aesthetics of indigenous ritual, thus it is actually honourable and noble to do. All of your average well to do liberal Canadian's secular sensibilities will take a convenient backseat whenever native woo-woo is of concern.

Frankly Canadians, and the West, will deserve the future it gets. Slow decline and eventual collapse, reactionary fascism of any flavour, chinese annexation, etc etc. All of these outcomes will be thoroughly deserved, and I only hope I can see these privileged well to do liberals Canadians suffer as their neat little worlds implode.

I should have taken 12 hours/semester of Rocks for Jocks, excelled in my sport, banged countless cuties, and landed a coaching job. I should have a wife and kids and be making six figures for fun playtime all day.

Watch out for that literature senpai, it can fuck you up.

God you people just don't stop. The last thread was full of this whinging and the OP patiently explaining their (solid) reasoning to you.

Here is a novel idea, instead of shitting up this thread once again, if you hate this format so much make your own competing list! It's not hard to do so, but granted it is more difficult than just whining at OP that their rules are not up to your standards.

Oh no now we are really scared, this one bold anon is holding an ENTIRE THREAD on /lit/ hostage!

Be careful anons, this person is clearly capable of anything.

On the one hand I think that /lit/ is full of pseuds who shouldn't be taken seriously.
On the other hand, I want to be accepted by them by fulfilling their absurd list of requirements in order to be considered well read.
This dichotomy is fucking me up.

these can't be real

The music in my head is too loud and makes it hard or downright impossible for me to concentrate on what I'm reading at times. Does any other anon have to deal with this shit? How do you cope?

>write a fantasy story for my girlfriend with her as the main character as a birthday gift
>end up falling harder for the character than the actual girl
>keep comparing her to her fictional counterpart only to find disappointment
I fucked up.

I keep getting angry every time I sense that I'm not feeling what the book I'm reading wants me to.
Am I autistic or is this normal?

>tfw too incompetent to even write my own suicide note.

It just sounds preachy, insincere, prosaic and yet ostentatious at once. Maybe i am just too autistic to into genuine emotion.
