>> No.13040586

It's obviously implied.

>> No.13040677

>>13040671
maybe if youre reading through the lens of the current epoch it seems like im implying that...

>> No.13040693

>>13040677
Actually my diary will be considered the central text of the society coming the epoch after the next. So it is indeed implied and you are way behind. Or as they will say; no u.

>>13040693
well it seems like a pretty unimpressive epoch based on that statement t b h

Well after a society based on your diary and the ensuing rampant faggotry and brainletism there's a necessary period reconstruction.

Certainly there are worse books than these, but these are the most unfairly praised. If you enjoyed these, you were fooled by cheap artifice.

It's funny, in one of his books Jameson outlines a political program for the US that basically amounts to fascism/militarism.

the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid are all individually more midwit than Jameson and Hofstadter combined

I just realized the cover is shoes and not just a bunch of screaming faces.
Are Jameson's books on pomo actually any good?

I think he’s interesting, always lump him together with Mark Fisher because they’re both more accessible than Deleuze and Guattari (though they all desire similar ends).
