/lit/ - Literature

>>11213373
Nah.

>>11213373
>tfw rich piano will never be able to read Pynchon while cooking cioppino, right babe?

/fitlit/ isn't a material circumstance, /fitlit/ lurks within the soul of every well-rounded citizen.

how was it? i was on /mlpol/ at the time

>>11213405
well it's about the best board combo, as opposed to your worst-2-boards-fused scenario

>>11213373
Omg /fit/ you need to let it go, it was just a one time thing. Stop making it weird for the both of us OTP was /can/

>>11213410
it was probably even more homosexual tho

>>11213420
Imagine /pol/ ... before 2016

Exercise and reading go hand and hand. You shouldn't be reading before getting your daily exercise

>>11213405
It was pretty dope, although /fit/ seemed more enthusiastic. When I ended a bunch of /fit/ers came here and expressed their adoration and greeted us to their board with open buff, sweaty veiny arms, and /lit/ basically told them to fuck themselves. I went over there and told them how much I missed them and how badly I needed them to hold me close to their well-defined chests, while I read them Ulysses. I found 20 bucks and everybody clapped.

Don't pretend you don't know ... You did this!

>Nobody on lit even tries to lift or exercise.

Really makes me think.

Remember when /lit/ was a complete commie board few years ago?

>>11213508
>try to read
Please stay over there brainlet/manlet

>>11213511
No? When was /lit/ ever a communist board, neither /lit/ or /his/ was ever commie contrary to whatever /pol/ might think

>>11213373
I visit their self improvement thread on /fit/ because I miss it too :(

>>11213373
Make America /fitlit/ again

>>11213405
Why were you spending your time on the worst cancer in the history of this site instead of the best party ever?

It was enjoyable watching a few pseuds become incredibly angry when /fit/ came over.

>>11213532
it was full commie 4-5 years ago before /leftypol/ or /his/ existed

>>11213405

I still dream of it

>>11213615
Duh! /fit/ is nothing but a bunch of buff, boring, smelly faggots who watch too much DBZ and get no pussy cause they're so fucking uninteresting.

>>11213695
>Duh!

/lit/ filled with pseud dyels

>he doesn't read hegel on his phone in between sets

pathetic

>>11213508
Why would I post my shit about calisthenics on lit? It doesn't belong here.

>>11213532
/lit/ was always generally regarded as leftist prior to the election cycle, of course everything has changed since then but we were probably the most* leftist board on the site for a long time

>>11213733
>h-hey, do you want to read my dissertation on th-
>get swole, faggot

>>11213733
This post shows what /fit/'s interest in literature really is, overcompensation out of insecurity. Probably the same reason most started lifting.

>>11213772
Damn, this is true.

Anyone who doesn't /fitlit/ is a pseud anyway.

it was good but lit has got worse since. i'm not sure fit would want us back. great opportunity to dump your best posting and reading lists though
>>11213396
well said.

>>11213532
newfag, 2012 /lit/ was full blown Marxist

>>11213511
Thank god it grew out of it, Stirnerposters are the worst thing to come out of that /lit/

>>11213405
Fucking horsenazis still whining for its return because they stopped getting trolled on /pol/ for a day while simultaneously being able to shit things up with their incel political opinions.

>>11213508
Maybe because when we go on /fit/ we don't go :
>hey you guys have a good workout about litterature ??
>hey guys, I read btw

now that's just being reductionist.
exercise increases your serationin and dopamine levels so it makes sense to do it to feel good. you also become more attractive to mates and actually physically capable of doing more things. dunno nuffin about books tho cuz those r for nerds

>/fit/ at least has the occasional self-improvement thread
>the ethnonationalist movement on /pol/ encourages martial arts, powerlifting, reading
Get with the program faggots, calling muscular people dumb meatheads is also just compensation for your envy and insecurity.

/klit/ would be pretty cool

>>11215130
>/pol/ encourages reading
if you've ever seen /pol/ try to discuss Nietzsche or even the Greeks you would know this is patently untrue

>>11213511
Yeah, we had better discussions back then. Ironically we didn't make everything about politics.

>>11213508
>Nobody on lit even tries to lift or exercise.
Nobody tries to read either.

>>11213405
I liked /fitlit/, mostly because the enthusiasm of /fit/ was refreshing. They weren't so mean and cynical like /lit/.

>>11214616

Nice cope.

In reality highly intelligent competent people are also likely to work on their health and fitness.

It may be comforting to tell yourself that health and vigour are a sign of low intelligence, but in the real world the opposite is true

all working out has given me is body dysmorphia, vanity, insecurities with how weak i am (which is very) and an annoyance that i'm wasting 2 hours of my day with something i don't particularly enjoy.

>>11213405
It was fun, /fit/ were genuinely interested in what we read.

It's ressentiment from guys who were nerds in high school and got picked on by jocks. In real life the smartest people I know are also very active but notably mostly in endurance sports such as marathon running or swimming. The gym seems to attract people of all intelligences equally, and I'd venture to say most people in martial arts are not the smartest bunch save for a few exceptions.

>>11216063
I mean I get that, but you'd think reading about literature and philosophy would wise you up to the importance of physical health and virility. But who am I kidding, its just kids reading Pynchon and Aurelius lmao

who else here /qstrv/ master race

>>11215898
To be fair intelligent people usually run or play tennis or something. Lifting is shameful in bourgeois circles and you must do it secretly to save face.

>>11215130

Then why are all these redpilled school shooters so scrawny

There's also this little known gem about Plato himself:
>his wrestling coach, Ariston of Argos, dubbed him "Platon", meaning "broad" on account of his robust figure.
>He excelled so much in physical exercises that Dicaearchus went so far as to say, in the first volume of his Lives, that Plato wrestled at the Isthmian games and did extremely well and was well known

Why do people blame /pol/ for literally everything , I mean does it just assblast people that they no longer exist in a echo chamber so much that they need to blame things on an external boogeyman.

Hey wait a minute, that's kind of what hardcore racists on /pol/ do, but the people who do this also hate /pol/... Hmmmmmmmmmm...

>>11213508
I've started hitting the gym two weeks ago because I was tired of being on my ass reading for long periods of time. I'm also trying to run a 5k in under 25 minutes by October. The fitlit lifestyle seems to be ideal.

>>11216186
Dumbass read the comic again. Adding &humanities to /his/ killed the board from any serious discussion to talking about whatever you want under the sun.

Fuck off retard

>>11216113
Imagine being such a pseud you would care what the bougeoisie thinks.

>>11216254
>Argument is & humanities let /pol/ in
Yeah so uhhh I missed nothing and you're a moron?

>>11216327
I never mentioned about /pol/ at all. The final panel merely mentioned /pol/ to demonstrate the extension of how much &humanities ruined the board. I blame hiro , not /pol/, for ruining /his/ and lobotomizing /lit/ with his &humanities shit. Learn. To. Read.

I swear the biggest asset you people have is your weaponized ignorance

Personally, I'm a fitclit man. I love a lady with a 6 inch clit. Gotta go full on Nietzchean bloat lord sizzurping gallons of heavy whipping cream and whole milk, "what doesn't kill me makes me stornger, right babe?"

>>11216407
Yes moron, I don't even understand how can someone be so retarded to think that screencaped post is a slight to any other board except for /his/. &humanitites led to an explosion of off-topic threads that almost made /his/ /b/ tier in quality and scope.

People go too far with being fit, spending all day with various sports. You should do no more than some weightlifting or running because those activities allow you to get it done as soon as possible because exercising is completely secondary to philosophy. When your body is worn out your mind is all that remains so it should be your priority.

I used to work a blue-collar job and the most I've ever enjoyed philosophy was when I'd read metaphysics absolutely fucking exhausted at the end of a long day putting in fences AND hitting the gym

>>11216089
I think physical health and virility are very important.
I don't think lifting and engaging in an vapid, unhealthy subculture is a worthy pursuit. Especially the /fit/ kind, which seethes with mental problems. Either for competition or culture, many in it do things completely counter to physical health and virility. Often comes across as a snapshot of a humanity-wide collective display of male insecurity. There are much better options than being some gym rat or one who has 'made it' yet is more fragile than ever in their body image and health. Let's not get into the fact that just lifting in pretty static motions actually does markedly little for your physical ability and health, too. So, it's like a pretense of physical health & fitness.

Bodybuilding and /fit/-styled gym-ratism is NOT physical health or fitness. Half the time they're against these. This chain of posts didn't start with them as topics. So don't pretend the derision of the other anon was about them or sports in general. He specifically said lifting. That's just being disingenuous so you can get a hasty smug-post in.

>>11216511
It's not that studying is hard or exhausting, you just have a soft head.

It's exhausting if you lead an interesting life. Only cucks actually enjoy philosophy

>>11216437
>I don't even understand how can someone be so retarded to think that screencaped post is a slight to any other board except for /his/
Probably because you're a projecting and autistic retard?

>>11216512
except if you're actually internalizing all this dank philosophy you're reading it would preclude becoming a health neurotic.

your post just sounds like cope my dude. there's something to be said for "strength" acquired at the gym and natural strength but that's about it, the rest just sounds like you trying to rationalize not going hard at the gym

Hahahah yeah okay dude I'd read Hegel on my lunch break what have you been reading lately? Pynchon, lemme guess right lmao

>>11216539
Insults unfortunately don't make arguments. &humanities is a big problem in /his/ and it is definitely one of hiro's biggest failure but instead you just had to make it about /pol/. Sad!

>>11216571
>Insults
More of an observation. You can't just name-drop /pol/ in the last panel and then shift focus away from that to the fact that &humanities was added.

According to the meme, why is it bad that &Humanities where you can post anything you want is bad? Because /pol/ seeps in as the last pannel suggests. I know the autistic have a hard time with context but ffs

>>11216603
>According to the meme,

shut the fuck up already goddamn

>>11216603
>You can't just name-drop /pol/ in the last panel
Bitch I didn't create that picture but I empathize with its sentiment. And the name-drop was not done in an negative light, you just sperged out coz it was mentioned.

>why is it bad that &Humanities where you can post anything you want is bad? Because /pol/ seeps in as the last pannel suggests.
Wow do you only consume Ben Garrison shit? Hiro chose both history and humanities that cause endless shitposting and bait. So much so that it even forced a /pol/fag to declared /his/ a lost cause. The original format of the meme itself always have the last panel showing the effect of the poor choice, not the cause.

Like I said earlier, weaponized ignorance.

>>11216639

>>11213373
Why don't we make a regular thread about exercising and self improvement?

>>11216113
It is true that if you care about brain function you're going to focus on cardio.

Still some amount of lifting is still good if you don't want to end up with your body all fucked up in old age from shit posture, to balance out your hormones, and because people who are completely sedentary look physically revolting. I'm not saying you have to look like one of the homosexuals on fit, but some pushups and pullups do you some good.

>>11213581
please...

>>11218894
Mods will get rid of it because it's offtopic and they're autistic like that.

I'm the only one here who runs, other than the physical benefits, in order to reduce the sense of existential dread, sadness, delusion etc.?

"The means by which Julius Caesar defended himself against sickliness and headaches: tremendous marches, the most frugal way of life, uninterrupted sojourn in the open air, continuous exertion--these are, in general, the universal rules of preservation and protection against the extreme vulnerability of that subtle machine, working under the highest pressure, which we call genius."
- Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

/fit/ is basically /r9k/ + weightlifting
I browsed the hell out of /fit/ until recently and after 2 years of staying in that shithole I came here. The ONLY good thing are the humor threads and the memorable threads. Everything else is >tfw not chad >FACE FRAME HEIGHT >first sip of the day >shhh...no talkie until coffee >mire' threads (mostly larping) and FEELS threads.

why trade one shithole, echo-chamber for another?

>>11221605
because the disillusionment comes at a later point in time

I'm a 27 year old literal autist virgin and I refuse to go on /r9k/ because I know there is no better way to ensure I remain a virgin. I'm paying a therapist to try and solve the issues with the crushing self-esteem issues years of browsing /r9k/ absolutely contributed to. I would just ban /r9k/ from the internet if I ever had the power to because all it does is perpetuate mental illness. The only redeeming value of it is containment but I still don't think that's enough to justify it.

/fit/ and /lit/ at least got me into two hobbies which I enjoy and I think make me a more interesting, mentally healthy, and attractive person.

You're actually right, the reason is that /pol/ posters are often aggressively ignorant and like to post off topic as much as they can.

Yes you did, in Communist State of Order everything is politicized because everything is centrally planned and you need to take into account economics and politics in every decision; it was just strucutral, institutionalized that you didn't recognize it.
