Lol

>when you're so far left even /lit/ seems right wing
lmao

>>13493686
??? this board hates peterson

The only way an online space can remain left in nature is to be over moderated.

>>13493726
>implying /lit/ is moderate

>>13493751
I don't think this is universal, I think it has to do with the fact that the "establishment" right now, big business, media, etc, are all left wing. Censored and oppressed opinions will be the ones that end up in places like this because they get pushed out of the mainstream.

>>13493686
and none of them read books, outside of their plot summaries
wew

original poster in the image here, the image is missing the context that /lit/ was being referred to as left leaning as opposed to a board like /g/ which has 'both sides'
>>/g/71951228
>some boards are obviously left leaning like /fa/ or /lit/, some are obviously right leaning like /o/ or /fit/, /g/ is at constant war though I see both sides arguing a lot here
wasn't trying to suggest that /lit/ has a political stance to it but that despite any perceived left bias there's no shortage of non-left wing viewpoints, I used the extremes to further that point which I thought was obvious with the mention of /x/

clean your room

>>13493738
a few months ago there were weekly 'peterson has never been proven wrong' threads which had discussions going on to the bump limit, not everything is black and white

Do you remember the rhizome days, old /lit/?

>christcucks

nope

occasionally
>ayn rand libertarians
haven't seen one here in literally years
>nick land/accelerationaists
basically live in their own containment threads
>/x/ poster
never seen one

Half of /lit/ acceleration posting is ironic. Peterson worshipers have either left or learned what postmodernism actually is and feel embarrassed about their former below midwit understanding. Libertarians are cringe but they’re also only 17-19 years old. The amount of fashy threads get annoying but it’s not like there are many places online to talk about it. Christcucks are cucks but have okay taste.
The biggest problem is r9k posting and unironic chapo incels coming here, the others can at least learn from their wrongs. Once you go chapo you never seem to go backo, it’s permanent brain damage.

>>13493802
There are definitely people from /x/ here who write those giant, tl;dr blocks of text and are extremely paranoid.

>>13493804
>r9k posting
every board complains about this and refuses to believe it's actually just general 4channel posting

>a few months ago there were weekly 'peterson has never been proven wrong' threads which had discussions going on to the bump limit, not everything is black and white

That's like, the lowest level of bait possible

>>13493686
So these are the guys who defend Harry Potter in those genre threads.

he's pretty much right and i wish they'd all fuck off and leave the five or six of us who just want to discuss books to do so

>>13493813
The jannies here are terrible though, they remove and ban autistic philosophy or experimental writing posting and keep shitty, “I am 24 years old blablabla” threads up

>>13493802
>>/x/ poster
>never seen one
there was a small one earlier (>>13489326) but it felt a little like bait, still had it on my mind though

Try this on for size kids.

You have to go back.

Peterson. Light of my mind, girder of my loins. My grin, my troll. Pete. Ter. Son. The tip of the finger making a flip through Dosto, Jung and Nietzsche to land at twelve, on the rules, for life. Pete. Ter. Sonnnnnnnn.

He was Pete, sad Pete in the morning, perching precariously on the ledge above the block. He was Peter on Prozac. He was Bucko on the booktube. He was Professor at school. He was Jordan Peterson, PhD on the dotted line. But in my intellect he will always be 'Peterson'.

Did he have a precursor? No, indeed, he did not. In point of fact, there may have been no intellectual enlightenment at all, had I not discovered a certain post on /pol/ long ago. Oh when? About as many years as many room has been cleaned up for good. You can always count on a man to do the right thing. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. This is what the brainlet, the simple blissful brainlet, envies. Behold, this tangle of brain.

>THE POSTMODERNISTS AND NEO MARXISTS.
Boomer shut up.
It’s called the Jews and white capitalists.

You mean Jews and a bunch of left leaning white capitalists. But go on and post your shitty wojak edits. And I’ll post Baki.

>Chapo's whining that this isnt an echo chamber like all their precious subreddits
I despise /pol/, especially after 2016, but if it takes the presence of that shithole to keep chapocels out, then so be it.
I recall some tranny on /r/badphilosophy whining that we were a reactionary sub because we occasionally have spengler threads. These arent the type of people you want to appease; they have to be removed and kept out.

>>13494137
The extreme far left is basically never satisfied. It's like the extreme far right, which would be Stormfront or something. They look at "moderate" right wing people like Trump with disdain.
The real problem is that these people are so incredibly political that it ruins all levels of discourse, and they're basically turning everything into a culture war where nobody wins.

>>13494137
>Chapo's whining that this isnt an echo chamber
the irony is that I was arguing that it isn't a left leaning echo chamber, brainlet

>>13494189
yeah i know

>>13494122
No, that’s not what I said. I said Jews and whites. Because we’re talking about America and Canada here.

People who take any attempt to relate is with ought seriously are so ubiquitous it's not even "worrying", just a sad fact about humanity.

>>13494199
I-I can fit in, I swear! look guys, I read Mein Kampf! he's as good of a writer as he is a painter

>>13493862
This is basically true of any non-math based persuit.

>>13494224
Very weak response, chapocel. Off to reddit with you.

the problem with /lit/ is that people treat it like some sort of sfw /pol/
inb4 the stock response of "muh /pol/ boogeyman"

>>13493686
Literally did not describe one thing about me

>>13494240
all of the internet is either /pol/ or sjw post 2016, that's piss earth theory

Beats being a shitposting fagbot

I've said it before and I'll said it again:

"Accelerationists" are just right-wingers trying to trick the gullible back into capitalism. If you feel that this doesn't apply to you, then you're just a fool who fell for said trick.

>>13493686
i wish /lit/ was this based desu

>>13493686
my kind of people

>implying /lit/ is homogenous enough to pin down as being any political affiliation

Golly he totally told all of us.
Guess I better stop reading.
