>Women start harassing the men that are left
>"Yea we know exactly how you feel it was awful when we experienced.
>"We also experienced these things that sucked and it was all because men were in power and we will do everything better"
>Anyway we won't bother helping men in anyway because they are a minority so who honestly gives a fuck

I don't enjoy reading all day. It's not my main hobby but sometimes i get encouraged to do a readathon.

I have episodes of being a real human until i degenerate into a being that does barely anything but take in social media. That is when I read the least. The real human in me can actually read or so I have experienced

Tried to expose myself to it and its all women or gay guys reading the same boring YA's generally.

The read alot and what I have seen is mostly the popular new books that are supposedly good. However, I got my Klara and the Sun recommendation from a friend who watched a video from him so I'm going to assume this man doesn't know what a good book is.

What I love about you is how you haven’t even read the book this idea comes from and you claim to be against it. You don’t even know what it is but somehow think you’re arguing against it.
I’m surprised you can also sort out how to post on the internet, for someone as functionally retarded as you that must have taken some time.

>Be History Major, English Minor
>Be transfer student
>Go into a tiny, southern Lib Arts college
>Getting excellent grades, am known around campus, plenty of at least acquaintances
>Have friends, but most I don't keep in contact with, most from before I entered in.
>Was getting established, but COVID basically tossed the progress I made first year into the shitter
>Partied with football players and cheerleaders.Got twerked upon, etc.
>Have made more progress than I ever thought I'd get, as a former wallflower
>Still, issues.
>Was too thick to pounce on at least two opportunities to get a GF. Too thick to pounce on a cheerleader
>Engaged, by my admission, in a rather degenerate dalliance with a hooker to lose by v-card. Because I was 22 and burdened by inexperience and fearful of inceldom. Still have mixed feelings about it and three other such encounters.
>Have engaged in a pair of hookups since then, but still am cowardly sober and off-line. Working on it, though.
>Feel as though I've missed out on romance.
Kinda soiled myself.
>Have a mixed reputation on campus, I think. I'm still in many ways a loner, but am half-respected, half-tolerated by many.
>Rejected by frats (I'm kinda old though..,)
>Was kicked out of a recent party. Prolly because either I creeped some people out, was too fucking drunk, or some lesbo got jelly her GF liked me. Maybe a mix.
>Have been a semi-recluse in off campus housing. Only get out for work-study and occasional solo trip to school events.
>Uncertain how to get past my lingering awkwardness an fully embrace school friendships, get a gf, and overcome my online and offline isolation.
>Uneasily looking to a future in law. Maybe the military. God knows.

At least I'm not in debt and not as fat as I used to be.

Marxism. Mostly because I really regret having actually wasted my time reading Manifesto and Capital.

He's trying to make an excuse for his laziness and lack of discipline. Those who truly have vision carry out their work whether it reaches 10 people or 10,000.

It’s a criticism of the exclusion of death in western culture you absolute fucking mong; it’s based off his work in Symbolic Exchange and Death, and these ideas are later found in The Spirit of Terrorism, a collection of articles written primarily about 9/11. But you’ve never read them, and lack an ability to discern positions within a polemic.
There’s an interview where Baudrillard makes a off-handed comment about how you can always tell who hasn’t read his work by their inability to discuss what he’s discussing. Great job proving his point, pure pottery.

Guarantee you that anon is some sort of modern “revolutionary” who thinks they occupy some amazing moral high ground based off their beliefs.
