nice b8 m8

>>12006300
How does Bourdieu compare to Althusser?

>>12006303
left wing thots read, have you never been in a university library?

>>12006322
Don't even need to go to a library to find proof of this, just go to your average hipster cafe.

>>12006300
This seems more accurate

>>12006322
I went to an academy- where there were almost no left wingers, and the library was for sleeping

>>12006289
I have dated a few and they don't read any of these they at most watch Vice; but generally they are reading selections from Intersectional feminists today, a lot of Butler, Hooks and etc.

Camus

>>12006312
i havent read Althusser but ive read Distinction by Bourdieu. i enjoyed it and made me think a little harder about why i do the things i do

>>12006351
The left has slowly decided it does not like Camus or Sartre. Absurdism/existentialism are usually understood to be interesting or worthwhile study topics, but Camus and Sartre specifically are heavily criticized for being racists, douchebags, womanizers, or wannabe fascists as the case applies. I don't know anyone who actually read Camus or Sartre, except to look up the quotes that make them look like bad people.

>>12006289
Nietzsche, Marx, Spinoza.

ZING!!!

>>12006289
/lit/, obviously.

>>12006289

Hegel, Kant and Nick Land

At what point does a book become art, and not just a vehicle for thoughts, or a simple story?

>>12006428
>Nick Land
Why?

Habermas. Had an ex who wrote her master thesis on Habermas and Deleuze.
She had probably the prettiest face of all the girls I ever fucked, but she didn't shave her pussy. I thought I'd like that, because virtually all girls I fuck otherwise do, but when I experienced sex with her, it was a turnoff.
She's also getting more and more lefty by the day. Of course she likes much of Marx, but I'm in Austria and "the right" is taking power and it pushes all the academics back to le left like no tomorrow.

>>12006429
redpill: treasure island is the only good book in that image

>>12006429
All books are art. Even terrible ones.

Walter Benjamin

Georges Bataille

>>12006447
implying that the communist manifesto is art

>>12006337
Either you don't live in a western country, or your definition of "left wing" is a very radical one.

>>12006340
>I have dated a few
Why?

>>12006468
left-wing: hardline democrat, socialist, or worse

>>12006289
>>12006300
Both wrong. They just watch Philosophy Tube / Hbomberguy / Contrapoints. And they just might read Chomsky.

>>12006473
>democrat, socialist
As opposed to?

>>12006429
>le stupid cringe snowflake nazis amiright!?

>>12006431

Bitches love accelerationism and technological singularities

>>12006447
You're art, despite being terrible.

>>12006471
You know I just kind of let my dick lead me around for a decade of my life

>>12006463
Barthes as well.

>>12006479
This seems more accurate

>>12006479
So what do PhilosophyTube/Hbomberguy/Contra read?

>>12006591
>>12006591
Nothing, they are pseudo-intellectuals and also charlatans.

>>12006615
Jason Unruhe makes all three of those guys look like Oxford scholars.

>>12006591

I don't know who that is but I sure am stupid enough to look him up later.

>>12006289
For what possible reason would you want to know, OP?

>>12006705
What if I'm deeply attracted to these kinds of women and want to be on their intellectual level?

Zizek

>>12006289
they skim Nietzsche’s wikipedia article and then brag about how into philosophy they are

>>12006738
>hat if I'm deeply attracted to these kinds of women
Then I would call you a man doomed to self-destruction, and wouldn't want to encourage you.

>>12006289
They don't read any of that, they read Atwood and bell hooks.

>>12006905
So just like the average /lit/ poster?

>>12006920
i actually skim the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy

>>12006920

>>12006911
What's wrong with theory thots?

>>12006438
My ex wrote her masters on Spinoza and Joyce.

Other than that, your picture reminded me that I can't wait for winter and to snowboard

>>12006429
Out of all the textbooks that could have been chosen for the 'art' section, why a math textbook not even aimed at math majors?

>>12007050
What did she conclude?

>>12007050
what did her anus taste like?

Is this pertaining to American "left" or actual leftists who aren't capitalist supporting cuckolds. I ask because if this thread was started by an American I'm going to filter it.

>>12006379
But Sartre said Black people shooting white people was justified because colonialism though.

>>12006465
There are good works of art and bad works of art.

>>12006379
It must be so unbearable being one of those people

>>12007507
Yeah, being made of straw is a very shitty thing, as we all know from The Wizard of Oz.

>>12007429
By leftists I mean legit anti-capitalists who can see through bourgeois ideology.

>>12007429
There needs to be a giant fucking banner on the top of this board that elucidates that Marxists and everybody else use the term 'Leftist' in different ways

christ how many times are we going to have this conversation

>>12006300
From my experience, this is totally accurate.

>>12007445
B-A-S-E-D

>>12007429
This thread only pertains to the political norms and tendencies of the Kingdom of Swaziland. I hope I could help.

>>12007605
Marxists have a whole different set of jargon that makes it near impossible to have an unbiased conversation with them. I'm not even anti-Marxist but this is objectively true.

>>12007643
Whenever a Marxist redefines terms like "Leftist" or "Reactionary" it always reminds me of when American lolbergs use that stupid "The Nazis were really Left wing" argument. It's so transparent that they're trying to bend the meanings of words to win points in some rhetoric game rather than have a productive discussion.

>>12007675
Except liberals are objectively not left wing though.

>>12007675
Marxists genuinely have tunnel vision about Capitalism
They have an enormously hard time thinking about socio-historical processes that arent reducible to Marxist capital analysis

I dont think theyre being dishonest really, their minds are just memed as fuck

>>12007675

You're either left (not a capitalist supporting cuckold) or right (capitalist supporting cuckold). There's no jargon to be used. It's not my fault Americans don't know what left and right are since they're so stupid. The majority of Americans support the right. Democrats are right. Republicans are even further right. Both are pretty far right.

>>12007597

Good.

>>12007688
The term left wing comes from the French Revolutiion and referred to people you would absolutely consider liberals

>>12007694
So, National Socialism is left-wing?
>inb4 National Socialism isn't real socialism.

>>12007701

>privatise everything
>socialists

Do Americans even use their collective fast food bingeing brains?

>>12007707
Good job doing exactly what I just said you were going to do.

>>12007697
Yes and now the leftists then would have the same ideology of rightists now. Do people even forget that Left and Right are relative terms?

>>12007711

>says something completely wrong
>memes
>HURDUR MY MEME IS CORRECT U DID WHAT I MEMED

When will America collapse even more? Rid of us the stupidity.

>>12007725
You're brainwashed.

>>12007771
quads says you're wrong

>>12007507
Don’t worry, those people don’t actually exist. Existentialism went out of favour because people realized it didn’t provide sufficient basis for mass politics, and because it was just pretty navel-gazy. Not because racism or sexism or whatever.

>>12006289

wikipedia

Beauvoir, Butler, Balibar, Rancière, Mouffe, Zizek, Nancy

Maybe this is just my autistic classification-minded brain, but there's an elision of two different categories: art hoes and campus feminists.

Campus feminists are overwhelmingly white and affluent. They geninuely have their eyes on a career; they're conscientious - these are the people that run for activist position in student unions and right for Everyday Feminism or shitty blogs in the hope of being picked up for a one-off piece by a bigger, mainstream media outlet looking to appear hip and down with the kids. If these people are interested in culture, it's fucking Harry Potter or Rupi Kaur or some shit. They're not socialists, although they might pay lip service to the label if it proves expedient (but they will accuse anyone who mentions class of reductionism and marginalising discourse about race and gender). The closest these people get to actual theory is hooks or whoever is memed by a popular blog (they lack the intelligence to read most theory, and, in any case, second-wave theory is rejected by them - without meaningfully engaging with it, of course - as transphobic, racist etc.).

Art hoes differ in interest, temperament and outlook. Because they are or have been students, most of the time they are affluent too, but on average they are less affluent than the aforementioned blog/career-oriented feminists. While their interest in culture varies from sincere and depthy to vapid and appearance-driven, you will certainly find that some are acquainted with culture in a more interesting way than the other category. I mean, yeah - Mac DeMarco, Pulp Fiction posters, chokers, bad female free verse confessional poetry, perhaps, but also other, more interesting film and literature. They might claim to be socialists and intersectional feminists but they're probably not as bothered about actual political engagement as blog/campus feminists. A lot of the art and culture they're interested in pathologises sex and desire in a submissive direction, normally with a pseudo-father figure - Lolita, the music of Lana del Rey, and so on - but this is at least more interesting than someone who only reads blogs about how cafeteria food is structurally violent.

Which do you prefer, /lit/?

>>12006300
left wing thots read foucalt, althusser, and deleuze but also sometimes zizek
