How does /lit/ keep up with the times? Do you subscribe to major publications like the NYT, WSJ and WaPo? Or literary magazines like the New Yorker and Paris Review?

I don't. I figure if it's truly important enough, I'll hear about it in passing, and if I don't, then I'll deal with the consequences of my voluntary ignorance.

I would really like to know what people do. Most sources I see have the same modern trightness and smarminess of attitude to them. I just want a serious unsentimental source om things that outline the facts and give what the major opinions of those facts are. If they are partisan I would like both. If it is not necessary I would like none and form my own.

Idk I type fast.

One thing though, this explicitly is about partisan stuff. I was kinda thinking of that only as necessary. So for bills and stuff. If they are talking about certain events that don’t need partisan coverage I’d rather not have it in the first place since things are rarely yay or nay outside of again politics and bills.

I like The Economist.
I also read Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Financial Times only because I have to for work.
I get these all paid for by my employer. The Economist is based af and has the coolest covers. Besides that, the other 3 are just full of shit and political garbage that I barely read unless it involves monetary/fiscal policy of some sort.

You're welcome.
As far as newsletters, I read The Water Coolest, Robinhood Snacks and The Morning Brew every morning.
hey lean a bit liberal and it's more of a collection of links to other news articles with a few sentences of facts. Also they are finance/business concentrating with a bit of politics.

Each is about a 3-minute read sent out at around 5 am EST, but helps you be kept in the loop as far as capitalism goes.

Good to know. I personally lean slightly right politically, but I guess I might be described as a classical liberal, although I fancy myself a relativist. Though I can enjoy anything from Marx to Guenon as long as it isn’t an ideologue shoving it down my throat. With a defined difference between is and ought.

I’ll definitely look into it, thanks.

I go on KiwiFarms and look at the Articles & Happenings subforum. It's exactly the smae thing but it includes a method to discuss it right then and there, which is the whole reason why the press is and always has been and will be propaganda for their financiers: reading is great but having a place to discuss what you read is even better. I sometimes bring it up in conversations with friends who I talk to regularly.

i don't use social media to be social so i just use facebook and twitter to follow virtually everyone, from cnn, buzzfeed and genuine communists, to fox news, breitbart, RT and genuine fascists. then you get every side of the story and draw your own conclusions.

it's actually insane how much shit i would never have heard of it it wasn't for fuckin buzzfeed, for example. i'm thoroughly convinced this is how they all play the game - only giving each market/subculture etc. the info they want to give them, see: 'microtargeting'

I almost never read Jew2Goy propaganda websites like NYT, El País, WELT, Tagesthemen, 日テレ and so on. Typically, I'll read a Jew2Jew website like JTA, Forward.com or Haaretz, pick one headline that interests me, read the article and always do additional research on it, e.g. checking if there's anything on wikileaks on the topic, looking up the people involved, or simply reading up on history.
I may also check Goy2Goy publications like Democracie Participative, Counter-Currents.com, 三橋TV or Occidental Observer for additional commentary.

Whenever we discuss anything that's on the news at work or whatever, people are always amazed by all the details I know about the story that they had no idea about, because most of them are monolingual NPC's who just watch TV news or will read a newspaper article and take it all at face value.

I'm a fluent speaker of Japanese and German.

In addition to that, I understand enough Spanish, French, and Dutch to read things like newspaper articles in these languages, and can somewhat make sense of related languages like Portuguese, Italian, Yiddish and Taiwanese-style (traditional) written Chinese.

>genuine fascists
I'm curious, who do you mean by that, specifically? Ben Shapiro, Sargon and Jordan Peterson aren't fascists.

The only genuine Fascist I can think of who still has a notable social media presence on mainstream sites is Mark Collett, everyone else has been kicked off of basically everything other than Bitchute and Gab quite a while ago. If you do want to hear some hot takes from a fascist with a brain, check out Eric Striker's work.
