/lit/ - Literature

edgy drug use and alcoholism isn’t “cool”. pic related is what cool looks like.

he wasnt cool. he was cringe

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 is an essential book to understanding modern American politics.

>being a subversive communist jew who sanctions the murder of children is "cool"
Is /lit/ just 4chan's version of /leftypol/?

>>15206587

>>15206587
yes, and unironically

>>15206577
>>15206573
Both guys are cool, if you had read Thompson you would know that he knows better than anyone how lame it is to think drugs are cool

>>15206577
You're the real fucking moron for wanting politics to be 'cool'

>>15206614
Politics can be cool. Don’t be a debbie downer

>>15206621
yeah no they can't

those who are especially uncool are fat russian schmucks whose incompetence highlighted the practical difficulties of implementing marxism and forever cucked engels and marx

We are all cooler than Hunter S. Thompson.

Guy was basically a mega loser. Most journalists are, really.

It's just certain hours when the board is slow. The trannys inject enough test to man up and publicly worship groups that would have thrown them into camps.

>>15207125
Reee he was an author and intellectual not just a journalist. Is joe bernstein just a journalist? Is bari weiss just a journalist?

>>15207147
go back to /v/, obsessed degenerate

>>15207118
first man in space, bucko. nice cope

>>15206573
The books of his collected correspondence were very fun to read. The guy was unique if nothing else.

>>15207147
Bitch I will forcefully feminize you if I ever meet you IRL

>>15206573
I already was, boy

>>15206577
This. Lenin was a great man and one day he will be back.

Fear and starving in St Petersburg

>books of his collected correspondence
Any specific recs? Don't hurt me, but I literally didn't even know he was a journalist.

>>15207395
>but I literally didn't even know he was a journalist.

-_-

>>15207395
Not sure if its the same as the other anon was talking about but I have a copy of The Great Shark Hunt, as far as I can tell its all his collected works, definitely a fun read

>>15206587
Yes. And it's based. Liberals pls go.

>>15207395
You must be a fucking Zoomer supreme, I bet you're not even 21 yet.

>>15207395
That's because he wasn't. He was a """journalist""".

>>15206614
Then OP is also a fucking moron, because politics were the only thing other than drugs that Hunter Thompson wrote about

>>15206605
This point is lost on so many people that read HST for some reason. He was drowning himself in drugs to cope with the fact that while his cultural revolution made waves it ultimately failed and as a final insult its cadaver was propped up with garish makeup to further feed the machine that is "the american dream".

>>15207528
So how long have you actually been here?

>>15207813
>not knowing that /leftypol/ originated from 4chan
also chapo faggots are social democrats

I don't like Hunter S Thompson's work at all, and I'm generally someone who finds drug use entertaining.

>>15206573
nobody ever will

>>15206577
Both men are literally cool, they are sociopaths without warmth or emotions.

>>15207651
and sport, of course. but the three were often combined.
his correspondence really is worth reading. it's collected as "the proud highway"

>>15208613
>working for Rolling Stone

>>15208989
Rolling Stone used to be a decent rag.

Holy Jesus, the man is blessed.
