this blog is making fun of white liberals by playing on the fact that they hate themselves for being white
it's an ironical insult that only the target group finds insulting. If you're not a selfloathing cuckold you won't find this objectionable.

Why does the New York Times have so many bestsellers?

>>12650592
The Jews

>>12650587
So finding something obnoxious and distasteful thats sole purpose is meantto be obnoxious and distasteful issone form of moral failing? I really do try to find more substance In items like this but for the life of me I simply can’t.

>>12650592
One of the few Vox articles that isn’t absolute trash: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/culture/2017/9/13/16257084/bestseller-lists-explained

>>12650605
okay, gram, maybe sit down for a minute.
do you want some water?
i'm gonna go get you a glass, hold on.

>>12650605
it's only meant to be obnoxious and distasteful to people with a moral failing, so while not a failing itself it is a sign of one
also check your pretentious grammar at the door whitenigger, you're not smart enough to write complex sentences and you tripped over yourself twice in that one post.

thanks for the (((you))) tho

lmao you little faggots really are all from reddit now aren't you

>>12650627
So let me get this straight, you think this is a worthwhile pursuit worth defending or that people shouldn’t say anything about these cheeky books/articles/other cultural milieu? I understand the caricature you’re hinting at which is obnoxious in itself as well. Someone who’s out of touch and scared of a changing world and one that almost exclusively talks about such topics ( quite inarticulatly ) but most older people don’t even see these clickbait type of media items and if they do it’s much less than younger people. The fact that I don’t like this isn’t reason enough for you to be so hostile. If something like this is so great sell me on it, I’ll ask you, what’s so special about this? I want to know your thoughts in earnest because it seems like people generally support this out of a childish need to hurt other people under the guise of something important IE: social justice when it really isn’t that intellectual. So really, explain to me why this should be put on the best seller list or even talked about? I’m listening.

>>12650633
Eat my fuckhole.

4chan is just a reddit satellite, friend

>>12650709
look at all those five-dollar words you're tossing around. you must be flush!

>>12650709
this isn't a social justice book you lobotomite it's attacking a subsection of the social justice movement can you even read

>>12650732
>nu-/pol/ MIGAniggers are proud plebbitors
can we just start shooting

>>12650709
but to the point, because you won't get it:
it is just a book they made out of blog posts
meaning they are selling to people what they already get for free
and people *do* buy it
yes, that probably indicates something shallow, unreflective, and basically stupid flowing within a certain cultural stratum but
what are you actually going to do about it? whinge in histrionics to nobodies, in your awkward syntax and with words you can barely hold upright?
what is that accomplishing?

>>12650732
I’m sorry about your relationship with your father.

>>12650737
I can read the title of the book obviously. We’re talking about the best seller list here why can’t you just answer a simple question without being a jackass?

>>12650749
what you can't seem to see is that i am just a mirror

SWPL is so devastatingly accurate my SWPL friends get consistently butthurt about it. I think it's all in good fun, and I'm guilty of plenty of the stuff described in there too.

>>12650633

>hurrdurr I understand everyone’s psychology and its relationship with their behaviour

You’re textbook dunning Kruger you fuckwad cracker.

>>12650759
We’re all nobodies here on this Scandinavian anal bead forum. Considering that I’m not sure why you’d think anyone could actually be really histrionic but I’m just engaging in a conversation that’s interesting to me as it’s essentially at the heart of the biggest questions of our time. I realize people buy this smut but I just don’t understand it. If anything I thought my explanation of that was pretty neutral as I do try to find the silver lining in much of this stuff. Not really sure what your problem is lol.

>>12650770
sure thing reddit

>>12650797
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings big guy

>>12650585
Guilty

>>12650829
what are the biggest questions of our time?

>>12650850
When those big black bamboos force those little white lips, trying to fit inside an inch at a time, you know there's a chance they'll never get to enter but than, something wonderfull happens and the screaming white little lips start to open up and welcoming the big black bamboo, throbbing of desire and ready to mate press those little cunts, pausing every now and then just to ensure the little pussy is ok and wet for the big black bamboo

>>12650854
Basically the cultural shifting of demographics, how we publicly conceptualize eachother and monolithic thinking like “white people” when what we’re really living in is a hugely diverse population full of immigrants with vastly different backgrounds. Social media and the various estates interacting with our group subconscious and pathologies. The Overton window, where things seem to be heading and what the the various implications of that are. I’m sure there are other subtle factors but conversations about this book could head in any of those directions and I assumed posting in a thread about it would be interesting. Duh.

>>12650893
neither signing off on nor dismissing anything in your post, i want to ask you: how many black people do you personally interact with on an average day?

>>12650928
I live in a hugely diverse city on the east coast. The last job I had was In a kitchen run by and for black people where I was the only white. These things don’t interest me for many of the reasons a /pol/ poster would find them interesting. I can actually understand you asking me the question. But I do think these are paramount for our time and if you really want to get into it I think much of this type of thing ( meaning this book $ is quite mean considering the white working class is suffering from wage stagnation and the opium crisis. Not that they should be coddled but it feels very unhelpful if the goal is some sort of social analysis.

>>12650840

I’m not hurt in the fee fees. I’m angry at your hubristic stupidity.

>>12650962
alright, my reactive hostility is dispelled. i'll come back to you in a minute.

>>12650978
You know Emerson once said that every minute you remain angry is 60 seconds of peace of mind you lose. If hubris is what you’re worried about make a more cogent statement because I’m not even sure what you’re upset about.

>>12650996
Fair enough.

>>12650997

That’s nice sweaty.

See the green text, which is what your statement indubitably implies.

>>12651048
I see, so there’s some deeper psychology behind “stuff white people like” that I just can’t seem to understand. I’m on the edge of my seat at what that might be honey bun why don’t you tell me and the rest of the class what exactly that is?

>>12650890
Based stroke poster

This book is like 10 years old

>>12651080

The point is I don’t know all the possible reasons someone might like or dislike this book and neither do you, which is why your statement is ridiculous.

>>12651229
You don’t? If that’s a genuine truth I’d have to feel genuinely bad for you. There’s a specific built in audience for this which is based on the premise that the subjects of ridicule will in fact be upset. On the face of it I assume most people that bought this did it in jest but the fundamental point i’m making is that not all of them did and that it’s very conception by definition has all of this tied into it. I can only assume you being so defensive is precisely because I’m declaring this and not because you noticed one of thousands of posters syntax. No reason to muddy the waters.

>>12651274

Thanks for proving my point for me :)

>>12651369
Unhand me thou foulest fiend! Circular argument with no cogent points to be seen. Simple obfuscation for the sake of it. A true brainlet.

>all this faggy redditesque bitchslapping and shitflinging
What about the book, niggers? Give me a quick rundown.

>>12651403
The equivalent of giving a lollipop to a child. A lot of fun for people that like to get their jollies saying “fuck whitey” with their hipster friends, if you spoil their fun by making them think they get sad and subsequently, mad :’(

>>12651390

You don’t even know what morality is. It’s more about behaviour than about thoughts or their expression. How is “I don’t like this book because it’s click bait” indicative of any moral failing? And your false generalization makes the assumption you know people’s psyche better than you ever really could in any possible scenario.

>>12651403
As a white person of the urban educated set, it's great. Open it to any page and you've got like a 80% chance of hitting something I love. Mos Def, microbreweries and camping? Spot on. I even used the website, way back in the day to find new things I'd be into. It's a little dated these days or I've aged a bit, but craft coffee is no longer exotic like it once was.

>>12651442
Lets all gather around the fire and listen to the preacher talk about morality. I don’t belive not liking this garbage book is a moral failing which is my point. Go back and read the posts. This makes a lot more sense now that I know you simply misread ( literally ) what I wrote. Thank god it’s there in time memorium for all to see.

>>12651492
I’ve never met someone that wasn’t a TOTAL DOUCHEBAG that started conversations with “as an “X” person I think/believe/will now say”. It’s the equivalent to “I have black friends”

Also if you’re simple enough to build your identity of avocado toast and craft coffee you should unironically kys.

>>12651562
As a white cis-man with black friends I want to tell you on behalf of all white people to fuck off and take your bigoted incel attitude back to /pol/.

>>12651562
I'm just saying it was directed as a mild parody of people like myself, and I embraced and imitated the parody. You seem rather hot and bothered over me enjoying a fairly chill coffee table book for hipster-lites.

I would seriously respect anyone who could live by the book, even if the book was SWPL. I know I am not that dedicated to art.

>>12651594
You really just won the big one. When you’re laying alone with no children or friends in a state funded hospice because you never retired, just know you were woke on 4channel once and you made a big difference.

>>12651621
>poledditor genuinely takes the most obvious bait
Get AIDS and go back to 9gag, faggot.

>>12651610
I have no doubt of your intentions. It’s just another indication of your junk food lifestyle. Junk food, junk books, junk thoughts. It’s all in fun so like anyone pointing that out must be the problem for not wanting something like a “coffee table book” to chuckle about before me and my friends go and get vegan burritos and more mustache wax.

>>12651628
Who exactly is taking the bait here? Why so angry my peach?

>>12651637
Indeed. I fail to see the problem of having some lighthearted interests. Are we not arguing in our spare time on a nordic rectal thermometer kiosk?

>>12650576
The self hating white person is already on its way out, don't sperg out every time you see evidence of it. You already know it exists, you already have an opinion of it, you know it does shit like this sometimes. This isn't new. We're all already making fun of these people and their dumb little antics.
Most white people are over the white guilt thing. It takes like 12 purchases to put a book on the bestseller list. Just breathe and let it go. See this post for what it is- some attempt at getting (you)s and potentially some desperate hail mary to drum up some outrage so they can publish a listicle about "books the alt right/4chan/manosphere/etc hates" and try to convince ten or eleven more self hating whites to order it on amazon.

Kill yourself dude.

>I have black friends
This rebuttal only stops making sense as the meaning of "racism" expands to denote smaller and smaller biases or inequalities.

>>12651657
True enough my fellow shitposter, let us transcend together in the decadence of this Chinese hairweaving and anal bleaching forum.

This entire thread is immensely reddity.

>>12651734
I posted that and I agree

>>12650587
>by playing on the fact that they hate themselves for being white
SECRET INFO, DON'T TELL /POL/: The large bulk of white liberals don't actually hate themselves at all, least of all for being white.

>it's an ironical [sic] insult that only the target group finds insulting.
kind of like calling people incel on 4chan :^)

>>12651741
What’s so reddit about it faggot?

>>12650576

>>12651697
i would prefer not to

>>12650587
im not white and i think this shit is corny either way. if its a white man, he's weak. if its a white woman, ugh. if its a black man its lame. if its a black woman i get a headache just thinking about it. same goes for latinos. in fact i think i would only be coo with it if like a 60+ year old asian man did it or something. at least then it would actually be interesting.

>>12651808
Wownits almost as if Americans had nothing to do with Africa and Liberia was a fluke where the people there miss America.

REALLY MAKES YA THINK

>>12650587
The target group are also the target audience.

>>12650576
Yawn.

>>12651760
>The large bulk of white liberals don't actually hate themselves at all, least of all for being white.
Yeah, when you really look at their behavior you can tell that they like themselves far too much to ever be considered self-hating.

>>12650576
A pushing of the endorphin receptors of these mass media created human feed-back loops. It’s fascinating to watch. People on 4chan do it all the time, just with different triggering stimuli. It seems to be a particularly big problem in America.

The actual subject of the laughter is entirely the result of focused media/political campaigns towards no larger plan whatsoever, but getting people riled up with various emotional triggers, attaching them to certain abstract cultural signs (white people in this case), and using that to garner votes/publicity/money.

The humor comes from essentially attaching signifies A to reassuring situation B, in a way that is aligned to an already culturally established neural network-- the brain loves regularity, and given the social context of [joking, laughter, in-group, comedy book], it interprets the small endorphin rush received from this cultural affirmation as a signal to laugh.

The funniest thing about American racial attitudes and demographics however, is that these low IQ mongoloid inbreeds actually perceive the various and diverse races and civilizations of the world as a gradient from white to black, and make serious value judgements based on this.
