Oh, yes. Here we go...

>hay anime no degenerado
All film is degenerate; all video games are degenerate; all animation is degenerate. All things viewed and experienced virtually are poison to the mind; you will never recover from the bullshit you have watched on a screen.

>fantasizing about being your father
Don't know where you pulled that one from, but I'm sure I don't want to know

>at all influenced by imageboard culture
I despise this so-called "imageboard culture". I am here for research purposes since this place has come front and center since Trump. This place is a fascinating cesspool where one can observe some of the worst of humankind in its natural habitat.
But, having said that, I have noticed there are actually some decent intellectual gems shining here and there in this shitstorm, and I have thus realized that this place is a watering hole for the severely disenfranchised. I do care about humans and their future, so if I can do my part by encouraging the mentally strong and battling the mentally weak, I will do my part
So fuck every one of your fat rolls and your jizz-stained plastic toys

You didn't. You're not even arguing. You merely make unfounded proclamations and leave the reader guessing as to your reasoning, hence the earlier confusion about definitions.

The Stars My Destination. haven't read that many books though

>>11112430
No its not exactly, precisely because fiction is a propagation, fructifying of latent imaginative elements within the mind and television is not, television is a transferrence of affects and makes of the face a screen, makes of the body a circuit which can be turned on and off, quickened or dampened. televisual media is a becoming machinic and a turning outwards of inward dreamscape consciousness, the sleeping mind, unconscious is painted and identified outside the person as person and becomes a parody of the inner world itself. The person says I was reading, implying the reading is as personal and natural as running, as seeing, as fucking or dreaming. Its a subordinate techne, an aperture of consciousness, an extension of alchemical operations into a plane or zone of generation which follows a series of invocations, summonings, spells, bindings which open up paths within the soul and bring together disparate, unattainable states or locations with inchoate, nascent motions of the soul. Television does not do this, but becomes person, I was glued to the screen, I was hooked on “x”, i was watching the television, the television screen which implies something else, the screen is a mirror which reveals the subconscious and its libidinal suites, its agonizing inconsistencies and repressions and embodies them for you, you do nor discover them, they possess you and innervate you, the innervation, the colonizing of the nervous system by the electronic is why people quip, why they dress up like cartoon characters, why television is so effective for transmitting memes and cultural mores, whole styles of people can be sold on television, a movement of tit morphology, a movement of hair morphology, a movement of incestual sexuality (milfs come from television), of homosexuality, of pedophilia (becoming the deceased childhood, which anime resurrects and divorces from suffering or from materiality which allows ethereal, fetishized conception to emerge).

The internet is its own demon, you are Online, no longer are you ‘ing, the adjective cannibalizes the active verb, i was On Twitter, I was on 4chan today, my whole being has been displaced in time and space, not only do online events innervate and colonize my nervous system but they don’t even make of me a temple or vessel, i become a node or a vector for the firld of activity, i am a switch, a gear, a drive shaft within a larger assemblage, my activities affect the medium which affects me as part of the medium. No longer is it a peculiar psychospiritual mimesis or subconscious dramaturgic escape from Self’d consciousness, there is demarcation between environment and person, on 4chan, especially on faster boards, no line of distinction between me and ten thousand, i become legion, i am deterritorialized. They are not at all the same, the opportunity for colonization in the televisual medium and becoming legion, being made instrumental from internet medium are distinct

Take a literature class at a college. Take note of those who read the assigned books on their phones and tablets. There's my citation

And no, I'm not arguing; I try not to. I believe there are inherent truths to life upon which there is no point arguing, so I don't go too for down that pseudointellectual rabbithole; I only hold on steadfast to my beliefs and fight against those who come looking for a fight by way of obduracy and obfuscation; those who come at me in a manner of acceptance, then to them I shall slowly unfold my intrinsic beliefs over time, for they are a friend

This doesn't give me any information about why you believe what you do. I might even call it obfuscation.

You don't seem to be using the word in the same way that I am. To me arguing is just showing why you believe what you do. Without it there can be only fighting.

It is obfuscation. Everything I share must be cryptic, because as the great minds before me taught, sacred knowledge is not to be shared with the uninitiated, and can be earned only by those who can decipher it from a riddle
Also without arguing there can be brotherly love and acceptance, together in which we shall fight against the perverts and degenerates! Love or fight, but cease to argue with fools!
You are on the right side, though, that is plain to see, brother

There is probably something genuine to be divulged from this post, but as I slowly attempt to make sense of it, it feels unnecessarily pedantic.

I'm sure you could state these things more clearly, no? Or would the spell be broken.

>Fiction is a propagation

That seems to be an unnecessary thing to say

>fructifying of latent imaginative elements within the mind

Yeah fiction is a work of imagination..

>Television is not

? It is though? You mean it is a lesser form? Or you mean that fiction lets the reader use his/her own imagination?

>Television is a transferrence of affects and makes of the face a screen

...What? I hope you realize this is not a clearly stated idea you are putting forth. It could mean anything and nothing.

>makes of the body a circuit which can be turned on and off, quickened or dampened.

What again? If you mean TV turns people into robotic-like people, then sure. There's plenty of people who would agree. "Society of the spectacle" and what not.

>Televisual media is becoming machinic and turning outwards of inward dreamscape consciousness, the sleeping mind, unconscious is painted and identified outside the person as person and becomes a parody of the inner world itself

This point may be hitting on something. You must realize though, that the television screen is just as much the external reality as anything else. Anything perceived through the eyes while awake could be considered as some kind of parody of the unconscious mind, according to what you're saying..

1. English just has inconsistent verbs and verb phrases for doing different things, there really is not a meaning to it because there's no system or authority behind it
2. you seem to be implying that the more engaging and immersive a medium is, the worse it is, for what I can only hope are not shallow reasons that revolve around showing off how hard you had to work to acquire information
3. the fact that you are no one on 4chan is what makes it so breathtakingly unique, and it's all the more unique because that un-identity is enforced by people who are also no one, equally lacking in credibility and relevance
in some ways it's a monument to equality greater than any ethnic representation or cultural examination you might find in other media
on 4chan everyone is a nigger and a faggot and they are expected to embrace that, not because it's a good thing per se, but because it's not any worse than the next poster, and because fighting it only proves it all the more and makes you a sperglord on top of being a niggerfaggot

that's what's so entertaining about it
your post however has absolutely nothing going for it, it's a patronizing jab, meant only to bolster your own ego while striking somebody else. Worst part about it is that you probably delude yourself that it was an honest attempt at helping somebody else, while it was born from nothing but hatred for the other person. Do you feel smart and content now? Don't bother writing another insincere reply to me, which will be another spiteful attempt to discredit another person completely, all for the sole purpose of feeling better about yourself.
