Ummmm muh sophisticated circles! Hope this is a joke. Neck yourself faggot

no art is political no matter the authors beliefs

>>14515961

Doesn't IJ have an entire chapter poking fun at the way black people speak? I'm not sure if Wallace had coherent enough politics to be considered either left or right.

>>14516042
No he wasn't. He was a genius.
Verhoeven also accidentally made the most attractive fascist propaganda piece ever made, when Heinlein was actually writing about a hyper liberal society, not fascism.

Paul Verhoeven falls into that usual category of dumb Leftist who never actually read anything about Fascism that wasn't scooped onto a plate for him by a Jew. He doesn't know what Fascism is so he just makes a movie about handsome white people killing evil bug monsters and screams "LOOK AT HOW EVIL THOSE WHITE PEOPLE ARE, AHHHH THEY HAVE WHITE TEETH AND THEY'RE KILLING INSECTS, THEY'RE NAZIS!"

Like if you think about this for five seconds you realize that the Nazis were just killing leftists and thus were totally justified--but that wasn't what Heinlein wrote about at all. Heinlein wrote about how the problem was that the bugs and humans couldn't communicate, and THAT was their primary contention.

>>14516333
Not really. Both are just anti-white retards fooled by Jews, or Jews.

>>14516042
Heinlein is great. Read Tunnel in the Sky or Methuselah's Children. He's one of the grandmasters of Science Fiction.

>>14516042
Ironically Verhoeven showed just how ridiculous anti-war activists are. The bugs are literally killing and eating humans as well as destroying cities with weapons of mass destruction and yet the movie seems to think we should sympathize with the bugs. He might as well be saying we should be sympathetic to Nazis and African Warlords.

>>14515866

just because they dont share the stereotypical traits of a commie doesnt mean they are. Orwell was a socialist. James Joyce frequently went to socialist meetings. Ernst Junger befriended a socialist during the war

>implying the bugs did Buenos Aires

>Trying to use art as vague points for your retarded imaginary identitarian team

>>14516667
There's absolutely nothing to imply that the bugs didn't do Buenos Aries and they obviously have no problem with slaughtering humans. They are about as sympathetic as Xenomorphs.

>>14516694
>There's absolutely nothing to imply that the bugs didn't do Buenos Aries
Based retard. Watch the film again. Never read the book, might be different there. I read Stranger In A Strange Land and it was so clumsy and awful I've never bother further with Heinlein

>>14516704
Stranger in a Strange Land won the 1962 Hugo Award for Best Novel and became the first science fiction novel to enter The New York Times Book Review's best-seller list. In 2012, it was included in a Library of Congress exhibition of "Books That Shaped America".

If you didn't like it you probably weren't smart enough to understand it.

You are retarded

>>14516797
Hundreds of thousands of people say a book is great, but I hate it because the prose is too confusing...they must be retards!

>>14516797
I'd like to point out you agreed with Verhoeven's assessment that Heinlein was a fascist despite the fact that, by your own admission, you haven't read a single book Heinlein has written.

>>14516836
Banal doesn't mean confusing

>>14516889
By your own admission you didn't finish the book, ostensibly because it wasn't "original" but it's pretty clear it was too confusing for you. Maybe you should start with one of his juveniles and work your way up to his full-length novels.

>>14516884
>you haven't read a single book Heinlein has written.
I've read Stranger in A Strange Land as I state in the very post you are replying to my perhaps drunk post-deleting friend. I don't really know if Heinlein is a fascist, I'm talking about the movie

>>14516954
Sorry, I messaged the wrong anon. If you didn't like Stranger in a Strange land at least try Tunnel in the Sky. It's a lot of fun and is less preachy.

>>14515171

>>14515171
The left and right are fake ideologies engaged in a fake battle against each other to distract people from the real war which is and has always been the very wealthy against the people.
It doesn't really matter which politicians ends up leading your country because they will take roughly the same decisions, all their promises are lies.

>>14515171
Infinite Jest is not left wing literature. DFW was actually a right-leaning Christian and these views are expressed in the detachment and neglect his characters experience in infinite Jest. The entire book is a testament to how the notion of "privelege" does not exist, because equilibrium makes equal all man in all walks, regardless of wealth and the motivation of their parents.

Also, you chose bad books for the right wing category. The Camp of the Saints and beautiful literature, and so is everything by Gene Wolfe (The Book of the New Sun), each of which reflect Christian values and male dominance as the only realistic portrayal of worlds, even in fantastic worlds tethered to our own.

Also, everything by Ray Bradbury, who was a more acclaimed author even than DFW. This thread is all garbage. Nice try. Sage

>Verhoeven actually lived under a facsist government

No he did not. Paul Verhoeven was an infant in Holland during WWII. The Netherlands was never fascist and he did not have any cognitive experience of it at all.

What he did live under was Europe during Denazification, also known as "Liberal Capitalism and Communism systematically deracinating and annihilating every European culture to make them easier to propagandize," and he definitely shows for that.

His cultureless, low-IQ take on American crime in Robocop, combined with his incredibly pathetic and counterproductive take on Fascism in Starship Troopers contrasts well with his much more honest, much more realistic, and, ultimately, much more true to his heart work Flesh+Blood, in which he depicts a rapist as a sympathetic character because, ultimately, his left-leaning politics are born of a nostalgia for the numerous rapes he no doubt witnessed committed by Allied troops against his own people, and his own pathological need to justify them because the alternative to opposing the rape of "every girl from 8 to 80" after the war was Nazism.

I quote from page 283 of the book "Look Who's Back":

"No. The truth could only be understood by a man who knows the Jews, the man who knows that with them there is no left and no right, and that both sides work hand in hand in perpetuity. And only the perspicacious spirit who sees through all the disguises could recognize that in their aim to eliminate the Aryan race, nothing had changed. The final struggle for the earth's scarce resources would come - far later than I had prophesied-but it would come nonetheless. And the aim was so clear that only a fool could deny it: the Jewish hordes were planning once more to flood the Reich with their repulsive masses. But they had learned from the last war. Because they realized their inferiority, they resolved to undermine, reduce and annihilate the valor of our Volk. So that when the day came, the Asiatic millions would be met only be effeminate Hartz-men, helplessly waving their mouse devices and television control boxes."

Pretty based.

People should read the book "Look Who's Back." It was much better and much more redpilled than the movie.

Jordan Peterson? Nothing he has ever written can be accurately described as right-wing literature.

The sci-fi short story compilation, Forbidden Thoughts, was a good right-wing short story compilation. Although some of the stories were weak, the entry entitled "Amazon Gambit" was worth the price of the book alone!

>>14515171
Posting Ben Shapiro's book is strawmanning things. We are discussing right-wing literature. Not neo-con nonsense.

Ah there it is, the regularly scheduled “The right has no literature” post that deliberately ignores Kurt Eggers, Leon Degrelle, Ernst Jünger, Wyndham Lewis, TS Eliot, Ezra Pound, WB Yeats, Fernando Pessoa, HP Lovecraft, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Yukio Mishima, George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Jean Raspail, JRR Tolkien, arguably Michel Houllebecq, and dozens if not hundreds or thousands more and not including any of the actual right wing political theorists and philosophers.

Since some Anons were discussing movies ITT, I would be remiss had I not mentioned Greg Johnson's book, "White Nationalist Guide to the Movies."

>>14515545
Hamsun wasn't actually right wing other than as a senile and scared old man. The first few chapters of Hunger were first published in a Danish anarchist magazine and he held strong anarchist sympathies up until the late 1920s, when he was in his 60s. He also wasn't really a proper nazi, he just hated anglos (on account of their moralism and imperialist disposition) and had a tendency for romanticising rural, agrarian culture in his aged years, likely due to nostalgia.

>>14518753
anarchism is right-wing

>>14518730
The book doesn't go for cheap laughs and doesn't make Hitler as much of a buffoon as the movie. It was high-brow satire (although parts seemed incredibly redpilled).

>>14518753
Right wing means antiathoritarianism not le puritanical and evangelical values or racist ones no matter how much liberal propaganda espouses otherwise.

>>14518780
it's certainly not rightwing but since it leads you to dislike basically all left wing movements and institutions along with right wing ones the confusion is understandable

>>14518798

Is hating collectivism really right-wing? Right-wingers might not be globalists, but they're certainly nationalists. Fascism in general is essentially collectivism plus some window dressing and economic reform.

Looking at something like The Castle and The Trial as right wing literature, especially as written by a Jew in central Europe after WWI is kind of a hot take, but I can't actually say it's inaccurate.

>>14516132
not sure how ISAIF is right wing. Sure, it's explicitly not left wing but that doesn't make it right wing literature.

>>14516132
How is Kafka right wing?

>>14518911
True right wing is understanding that human progress is futile (since Man has fallen), conservative traditionalism which kaczynski somewhat promotes must therefore be right-wing.

The antagonists in his book were basically authoritarian commies

>>14518753
Why do you people consistently do this? This is the same tired shit we hear about Martin Heidegger. You take people who are clearly right wing and insist they’re not actually “X” political affiliation because they didn’t agree with every single aspect of “X” political affiliation. Since when do you have to be 100% in line with Nazi ideology to be a right winger? You all want so desperately to just think anything associated with something like Nazism is 100% incorrect that you’ll do mental gymnastics when you find people you want to take seriously and just present the case that the person in question wasn’t even associated with it when they clearly were.

Knut Hamsun turned Blut und Boden into a Nordic literary aesthetic. He was a germanophile who admired German volkisch culture sympathized with the Nazi emphasis on mythology and believed they had the right idea with a return to agrarianism. He openly supported the Germans in WW1, openly supported Nazism in the 30s, and he personally met with both Hitler and Goebbels, whom he awarded a literary medal. After Hitler’s suicide, he wrote an obituary for him calling him a “warrior of mankind”, a “prophet”, and a “reformer”. He never backpedaled on any of it until the day he died. He may have been an anarchist before it all and he may have been a senile old man way after it, but he was very lucid for that whole span of time and was decidedly a right winger sympathetic with the Nazis.

What the fuck does left/right even mean. If liberals are left wing does that make the soviet union right wing because of how traditional they were? There never seems to be a proper definition

You should. I was shocked at how good it was. Book Hitler was also much more likeable than movie Hitler. He was so relateable I couldn't believe that the book was published.

There were only a few parts that were kind of lame (ex. Hitler declares the Dachshund to be the Jew of dogs).

Left-wing politics seeks to reduce the overall power of hierarchies, right-wing politics seek to increase it instead. Communists were at least in theory striving for a classless society, so they are left-wing. Liberals can be either right or left wing, depending on the particular movement and the state of the world at the moment

>Because here’s something else that’s true. In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshiping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of God… is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you…. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on….

>Look, the insidious thing about these forms of worship is… that they are unconscious. They are default-settings. They’re the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that’s what you’re doing. And the world will not discourage you from operating on your default-settings, because the world of men and money and power hums along quite nicely on the fuel of fear and contempt and frustration and craving and the worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom to be lords of our own tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation.

To be of the right is to support hierarchy. Historically, the left and right divide has nothing to do with economics, but was a division between supporters of the French monarchy and its opposition. Over time and in other contexts the terms were used more colloquially to signify conservative support for the aristocracies of Europe and their liberal opposition. By WW2, any support or recognition of hierarchy is enough to be considered right wing, while the various egalitarians are considered of the left. This is why the Soviets under Stalin referred to themselves as "right wing socialists."

>>14515545
JLB a right winger? Very thin, what you claim. There can be made a point, that there’s a lot of good lit by right wing authors, but you managed to pick all the wrong ones

What kind of chart is this, have your (you) and stop putting up strawmen

lmao

Borges and Mishima alone had more influence on the world of literature than Harry Potter ever will

Non of these you named were communists. Tolstoy was the only one with socialist ideas in the boradest sense

Marquez was perhaps one of the most left-leaning authors of Latin America, with the possible exception of Pablo Neruda.

The market, through fair competition, has decided the worth of Harry Potter to be infinitely higher than that of the rightoid shit.

You seem upset with it, and instead of admitting defeat gracefully, spit venom at people expressing their freedom to choose, while vegemently defending and posting pictures of actual losers. People who have competed, and then lost.

My questions to you would be then:
1) Why do you hate competition?
2) Why do you stan losers?
3) Why can't you admit defeat?

Borges may be somewhat comparable, but only among intellectuals. Mishima? Gook shit LMAO.
Also, missed opportunity to bring up Junger.
