If you hate him you should hate him because of the (((people))) who seem to be gaining the most financially from his image. I'm not a DFW hater myself but jews are everpresent in DFW-related publicity, from his pic related literary trust to the jew who made the movie about the Rolling Stone jew who interviewed him where he was cast as a jew to his horrible jewish biographer DT Max, etc.

That image has often been negative, which is interesting, and has definitely layed a role in his polarization.

If he was depressed, he would have been too despondent to even write.
He killed himself because he was a petite-bourgeois drama queen with liberal parents that made him think sadness, a common human emotion, was a disease. He had munchausen by proxy, and he just thought he was "depressed" because he had a diagnosis at one time. That's it. He also may have killed himself because he realized he lacked the authenticity he so desperately preached and knew he was nothing more than the product of his parents.

Have you read his short story "The Depressed Person"? Seems like a pretty accurate portrayal of the mental state of a person who has depression. Seems like a pretty hefty coincidence that a person who killed themself and knew the mental gymnastics that depressed people put themselves through wouldn't also be depressed.

I can smell the lower-middle-class all over you.

>> No.12123978

Only educated people or people with money get depression and anxiety disorders. It’s why there’s an entire industry of meds for them to choose from, you don’t see black People ornother poor people with shit lives across the world taking themselves out or whining the same way most people do, especially whites. It’s the same reason we’re serial killers.

If you guys hate dfw for feeling this way yet you feel this way recognize you more than likely are at least from the middle class and if you aren’t you’re smart enough to be. Get off your high horse faggots.

Maybe some more food for thought, literally wage slaves and Hispanics in the border work for less than minimum wage supporting huge catholic families and blacks suffer half their families and kids being killed because of muh rap culture they don’t mind it too much, yet white trannies kill themselves in hordes, maybe they know how fucked they are.

This was me, and as crazy as it might have seemed I was only referring to a specific chapter featuring "fat marcus the money lender" in which a college prank goes terribly wrong (a repeating narrative in the story, and revealing a truth about his early career and its link to the consequence of his criminal collegiate behaviors), but really this instance is more of a joke (he mentions that he thinks his being jewish "had nothing to do with it") representing a specific sect of the society beyond just jews, a certain quality of behavior and a corruption that can influence, draw in, and bring consequence to the people around you.
Again, there is also a big "Jesus" thing that looms over the meta-narrative of the book's story, so of course the jews are always relevant there. Jesus, was the name of the psychadelic-loving catholic guy who got smothered by Marcus' ass, before choosing to bite into it instead (he is also responsible for dosing the iced-t at the picnic in the end)

and yeah this is what i meant. i dont doubt that he was severely depressed, i dont think people really kill themselves without being very troubled or just incredibly manic and impulsive and he was more in line with the former. but the point is he was a snob and had a very undeveloped, and considering his background and family, just lazy philosophical outlook that seemingly amounted to "irony bad" but was so grim and humorless. i actually like DFW but he was definitely a cunt. a depressed cunt.
