It's just a pseud trying to sound like an intellectual to impress the mediocre crowd by the big words he uses.
> We live in the society! Society of Spectacle!
>Woah, dude, did you know about propaganda and shit?! And... advertisement!? Like, you are being controlled and shit. Consumerism, dude!

No surprise he is being recommended by many. Majority of general populace are simpletons who think they are smart by reading convoluted text that you have to untangle.

From the book:
>In a world that is really turned upside down, the true is a moment of false.

General crowd reads and recommends such books, since they can post phrases like these on their social media pages and think highly of themselves knowing that they will be praised for such a "profound" statement.

What is capitalism?

sweetie, hegel MADE the society.

If you take idealism to its logical conclusion, then everything that you see, you only see it because it has value to you. This value is expressed in discrete units aka, numbers. Face it, the capital is sentient and only money matters in the end.

To be fair, every poetry critique thread i see on this board is full of pretentious shits who insist meter, subject matter, etc are all vastly more important than rhyming, which they call "rap-tier."

I don't agree with those folks, but to much of the people on /lit/ the lack of rhyme is not the reason they hate Rupi

I don't think she's a very good poet, but I don't resent her. I get what she's doing. She's using social media to be THE 21st century poet.

Of course I'm only slightly exaggerating, but this is a big problem with modern day publishing. What are we to do?

I hate the fact that its "unruly" to use words that may be uncommon but have really specefic meanings. It's annoying when I can use a word but it'd be seen as purple of me.

What are some books that ignore this little unspoken rule?

I live alone in the middle of the woods in a small shack.

I've been a firm believer in magic my whole life, and while living here, I've read and practiced through the Black Pullet, Agrippa, and the Vatic Grimoires but I'm seeking for more
