/lit/ - Literature

I don't care that Zimmerman won the Nobel. I'm just tired of the threads here asking about "/lit/" lyrics and thinking this is the all clear for musicposting

I'm ignant. Why doesn't the Nobel committee just make a music award?

>>10999923
It's Bob Dylan, pleb.

>>10999913

Most people were fine with it so I'm not sure what you mean. He's being rewarded for carrying on the Woody Guthrie-style traveling minstrel tradition

>Robert Allen Zimmerman

>>10999913
I like Dylan. I'm really not butthurt. I understand why some people would be upset, but the nobel committee is very political, especially since they refused to give it to guys like Borges or Celine.

>>11000063
It's Bob Dylan, nerd.

>>10999913
Most people on /lit/ don't really care about the nobels and I'll bet moste are fans of him as well. I know I am and I know I think he deserved it, americans don't realize how great the folk tradition is and take it too much for granted, from what I see.

>>11000141
That's what he said.
>Robert Allen Zimmerman
Learn to fuckin read.

>>11000129
I'm a leftist and a fan of his but Bob is very low-key right wing.

The nose knows

>implying the literature Nobel isn't a joke

>>11000169
It's Bob Dylan, cretin.

>>11000129
Céline didn't get passed over because of politics la

I said I'm a fan, he's probably my favourite musician, but anyone acquainted with his work knows he was never comfortable with being associated with the term "left wing", and has withdrawn from giving any political opinion since the 60s. From whatever we have glanced from his opinions, he seems to be a liberal (in the real, not american sense).

60's liberals and non commie hippies were useful in constructing the world we live in today to facilitate the triumph of leftism though

Odd way to spell "Robert Allen Zimmerman".

>>11000311
It's a nom de plume, pleb.

Odd way to spell "Jewish crypsis".

I'm butthurt that people actually talk about the nobel prize, I don't care who wins

As of 2017, Nobel Prizes[note 1] have been awarded to 892 individuals,[1] of whom 201 or 22.5% were Jews,[note 2] although the total Jewish population comprises less than 0.2% of the world's population.[2] This means the percentage of Jewish Nobel laureates is at least 112.5 times or 11,250% above average.

We should also question the number of Irishmen who have won. This isn't natural

I love how "scientifically" minded people always drop it the minute something socially uncomfortable is demonstrated by it

New York is basically the media capital of the world, which has a population of up to something like 15% Jewish people. So your 0.2% of the world's population is extremely misleading.

>The figure of 201 includes laureates with at least one Jewish parent as well as those who converted to Judaism at any stage of life. (See Who is a Jew? and Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates) More conservative measures say at least 170 of all Nobel laureates were Jews. This figure only includes laureates whose parents were both Jews. (See JEWISH NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS) Neither figure necessarily regards the laureates' religious affiliation (Judaism, Atheism or other) – they're instead more focused on Jewish ethnicity and community.
Did you think they were using NSDAP racial classifications for wikipedia?
