Reminds me of George Bernard Shaw shitting on Shakespeare.

Shaw and Martin took themselves seriously. Everyone else just wonders how they managed to do so.

Worth it.

>/lit/ having a meaningful LOTR thread

Doesn't happen often enough desu. I've been playing around with the idea of re-reading it through a Nietzschean lens.

Yeah, maybe a proper coffee shop on some bourgeois Parisian street. How the fuck did a coffee chain like Starbucks create that impression for itself?

It's the opposite, actually.

Religious views: Atheist. Was convinced, for a while, that 'cultural Christianity' wasn't so bad (and actually pretty good) due to the writing of Roger Scruton/etc. Nietzsche since talked me out of that, however. Cultural Christianity is pretty much nothing more than a futile and ironic religious rennaissance in the growing face of sincere Islam, coupled with LARP'ing. Disgusting and insincere desu.

Political views: Anti-political. If pressed, I'd profess an admiration for enlightened monarchy/despotism/Machiavellianism à la Napoleon/Caesar/Friedrich der Große. Politics as we generally know it now is a small matter for small people. If someone tells me they're "passionate" about politics, for example, I make justified assumptions about the extent of their intellectual poverty.
