Why are fascists so good at romance?

I feel like Hitler should be on this list. He was a political philosopher and much more important than morons like Kant

did this guy really commit sepuka? what a fucking madman.

Sun and Steel :(

Who are some /fit/ authors?

so here's the thing,

I've read Hidden Colors, Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and the Sea of Fertility

I liked all of them, especially Sea of Fertility, but to be blunt there are other writers I want to read

What do /lit/?

also general Mishima thread because he's awesome

Hey /lit/, I'm planning to learn Japanese in order to be able to read Japanese literature in it's native language. Do you guys have any tips on how to approach this and have any of you tried to learn a fourth language just for the sake of reading?

Yukio Mishima = total WILF

>Economics, history, mathematics, politics, poetry, philosophy are really the interests of a mature male intellect more than literature though.

AHEM anon I think you'll find them all in accordance with the massaging of the masculine mind
Literature being a necessary retreat and relaxation for it

Where do I start with Mishima?

Pewds is totally based. Guess who his favorite author is!

Thoughts on his body of work?

Why do people larp?

What on earth would posses someone to pick some narrow idealised segment of history that only existed as a survival mechanism in its day and try to clumsily jam it into a condition of existence of which it did not arise on its own accord?

>I'm putting together a team /lit/

Who's in?

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. To find a kindred soul in literature one must read exclusively the works of authors he is physically attracted to.

No, I don't like Atlas Shrugged because I find Ayn Rand physically unattractive.

Unironically this. Impressive male physique relies a lot more on hard work and strength of character and less on genetics compared to the female body and is therefore more worthy of admiration. You will have a much greater intellectual exchange with another man if need be, and penis in the butt feels extremely good, possibly even better than doing the penetration yourself, and if you're topping it's the same anyway. You don't have to be gay to see that.
