/lit/ - Literature

>>15310612
Meh, Rupi Kaur could do it way better and even with a hand drawn picture

>>15310622
No, she couldn't.

>>15310612
honestly it isn't even provocative and sounds like a 12 year old

>>15310650
>>15310622
>so much SEETHING
It's ok, /lit/. If you stop reading only leftist garbage written by brown women with their own menstrual blood on recycled paper, maybe you'll manage to grow up.

I actually wrote my first verse in English today >>15309958 Not that proud of it, but it's a start.

>>15310693
Bro relax. Check out her poems and maybe, just maybe, some of her style will rub off on you.

>>15310693
/lit/ is a leftist board.

>>15310735
Christ, I hope not.

>>15310742
Not if I decide to take over.
I own you now.

>>15310742
>believes this
oh sweetie

>>15310742
No, it isn't. It isn't a right wing board neither. /lit/ is not a hivemind, retard.

>>15310612
>>15310612
>Kaur could do it way better
Not judging by your standard critque thread here

>>15310769
>implying you don't all read the same shit, worship and hate the same guys

>>15310612
Wait a minute, are you telling me that people who lurk on /pol/ are posting on /lit/?

>>15310787
Most of us are also /pol/acks.

>>15310798
How are you quantifying this?

>>15310783
We may have a canon, if you will, but we do not all "worship" the same philosophers and writers.

>>15310832
I have 17 laptops, 38 phones and an unlimited number of proxies. I spend most of my days talking to myself on here. I am 50% of /pol/ and 99% of /lit/.

>>15310841
>if you will
Do you lift your pinky while you're sucking dick?

>>15310612
Not as good as Nael, age 6 but is better than most modern poets

>>15310769
It isn't a right-wing board either*

Fixed it for you.

Consider it a warm welcome to /lit/, the leftist board.

Now go read Theory.

>>15310872
>Do you lift your pinky while you're sucking dick?
Asking for a friend eh? ;^)

>>15310896
No, asking for me. I have to know if you're worth a bullet.

>>15310783
Name one fucking author /lit/ can agree on

>>15310890
>there are mongoloids here who still drink the commie koolaid after they turn 16

>>15310910
David Foster Wallace. Don DeLillo. Ayn Rand.

That was easy.

>>15310872
I'm not a native english speaker, so i taught myself your language by reading classic literature. I come to this board to learn how to speak it as badly as the average American.

>>15310912
see >>15310742

I hope this clears up the misunderstanding.

>>15310921
I spend plenty of time here shitting on the likes of DFW and James Joyce.

>>15310742
/lit/ is a monastic board.

>>15310923
I'm also not a native speaker, faget. Also self-taught. Difference is that I'm straight.

>>15310931
commies are the retarded incontinent cousins of philosophical family gatherings.

why can't tankies and stormfags stay in their boards and have their gay wars there?

>>15310923
>i taught myself your language by reading classic literature.
Bullshit lie to appear cool, pretentious little faggot. You can't read the classics if you don't already master the language. You don't learn a language by reading the classics.

>>15310971
That's interesting you bring that up, because I was just thinking the same about you and your ilk.

>>15310923
Unbelievably based

>>15310612
if this guy had studied he could have become a professor at harvard.

>>15310622

>>15311177
Incredibly based honestly. Post more.

>>15310978
I honestly feel like my knowledge of English (2nd language) has slightly degraded after years spent on 4chan. I'm reading some XIX century classics right now and God damn it can get hard even though I've thought that my English is impeckable. Maybe I was always mediocre, though.

>>15311201
>impeckable

>>15310910
Melville, James, Faulkner, Milton, Shakespeare, Goethe, all of the Greeks

>>15310742
Hahahaha, oh no no sweaty!!

>>15311341
All trash that has been taken out by DFW. Try again.

>>15311201
>I've thought that my English is impeckable.

This sentence has many problems. First:
>impeckable
It's "impeccable".
Also, the structure is wrong. You can say it in a lot of ways. Either:
>"I've always thought that my english was impeccable",
or
>"I thought my english impeccable",
or
>"I thought my english was impeccable",
or
>"I had always thought my english was impeccable".
Lots of ways, and you managed to dodge all of them and choose an incorrect one.

>Maybe I was always mediocre
Yep.

t. fellow ESL, self-taught for 10 years or so.

>>15310994
>n-no u
Woah... so this is a commie's brain power.

>>15310994
You don't even know what his "ilk" is, twat. Lots of categories think communists are retarded, ignorant, arrogant mongoloids.
In fact, every category thinks so except for commies.

>>15310742
If I knew /pol/ wouldn't raid it I'd love to see just where this board stands politically, but no, your statement is certainly false.

>>15311572
>pol isn’t 4chan

>>15310923
wow, that's gotta hurt

>>15311572
people having taboo opinions doesn't mean it's a /pol/ raid

>>15311659
/pol/ is /pol/

that's why they stand out like a sore thumb in any other board. they're the least 4chan-like of 4chan's boards

>>15311696
I think it just makes you uncomfortable to know all these people you interact with have different views than you. Newfag maybe? Pol drives a lot of culture here

>>15311696
yes being edgy is surely foreign to 4chan's nature

>>15310742
/lit/ is an homofascist board

>>15310612
Pretty shit, honestly. Mixing true rhymes with semi-rhymes is disconcerting, plus it inconsistently switches between 7 and 8 syllables per line.

>>15311729
Case in point: this is a /pol/ poster who writes in /pol/ style. He cannot assimilate and thinks his edgy political views should be the centre of attention on every board.

>>15310787
i use /pol/, /lit/, /out/, /k/, and /a/ depending on what kind of mood im in

>>15311810
Meanwhile you think everyone who disagrees with you is /pol/. The absolute absurdity of expecting an anonymous barely moderated image board to only have your political perspectives on it.

>>15311750
There's different kinds of edgy yes

>>15311729
>Pol drives a lot of culture here
Awfully inaccurate statement. Most if not all 4chan memes are born in /fit/, /sp/, /tv/, /a/. /pol/ has never created a meme since 'it's happening' -born in the first few weeks of /new/ anyways, not even their own meme.

>>15311729
>Pol drives a lot of culture here
Yeah, there's tons of low IQ mongols on 4chan. Doesn't make them right, or any less annoying.

>>15311838
If it looks and quacks like a duck, then guess what mr. NOT /pol/

>>15310742
No.
>>15311572
Framing it as a raid is deceptive, any man who holds politically incorrect views can still enjoy a variety of hobbies and be "natives" of other boards.

Of course /lit/ would be leftist if you were to exclude everyone who isn't, but you can't, many people who post on /lit/ with an interest in literature are evidently not leftist. Deal with it.

>>15311930
By all means continue complaining forever that people disagree with you until you just finally go to reddit or whatever

>>15311952
/pol/ literally is reddit though

>>15311898
Uh not compared to literally every other platform, no. As the other guy said, you just can't deal with differing views, you are narrowminded and chauvinistic. Which is normal for people today as they hide in their media bubbles and become deeply oversocialised. The mysterious 'pol' boogeyman, whose views and habits you cannot define (because they don't exist in uniform), is dumb but also smart, did you know there's individuals?

>>15311984
Holy shit you need to desensitise yourself to memes. You've reduced your worldview to a handful of them.

>>15311984
By reddit I mean a place in which you don't have to see opinions you disagree with, ie. heavily moderated

>>15310787
Yes people go to multiple boards for various topics on a single website, retard.

>>15311994
subreddits like jordan peterson's, maga, thedonald and so on, are a carbon copy of /pol/

you'll hardly see any 1=1 likeness between any other 4chan board and subreddit

>>15311941
The reason for division isn't psychological handups alone, it's intentional exploitation and manipulation of them to divide the populace into fixed groups which may not even have anything or common and certainly don't understand other groups. It's fabricated.

>>15310890
>all of the contemporary books are neoliberal trash

>>15312015
>subreddits like jordan peterson's, maga, thedonald and so on, are a carbon copy of /pol/
No they're not. For one thing they don't have the extreme shit that /pol/ does, for another they're Reddit, so the mods ban any dissent. Meanwhile /pol/ is constantly full of people antagonizing what you consider the normal userbase there

>>15311952
I don't disagree with some of /pol/'s suggestions regarding multiculturalism, but most of them are downright false, and lack any analysis or reasoning. If you question, even slightly, their narrative of "JOOOOZ", you get a ban and of course, endless accusations of being Jewish. They are literally the most retarded board on this site, and the board itself has to exist for the purpose of keeping the retards in one area, for the sake of all the other boards. Do you think they hold their opinions because they have thoroughly read literature which they disagree and agree with? If one were to remain /pol/, after some amount of reading, then they're a cultist with confirmation bias. It's not a political disagreement, it's that their board is full of hiveminded trogs who can't entertain that they could be wrong about some things, and then come here to spam Kaczysnki threads.

Oh, and they never admit they're /pol/ because they would be dismissed immediately and outright.

>>15312033
>you get a ban
What? This isn't reddit you stupid faggot what the fuck are you talking about.

I wonder why there's so many anons who 'aren't /pol/' trying to defend their board's honor

>>15312033
What do you disagree about wrt eg. race differences, jews, feminism, lgbt, etc.

>>15311696
/pol/ attitude has been a constant on 4chan that's why boards have been created for it. Moot didn't just create a board there was no interest in for the fuck of it to attract an audience that apparently is terrible for the site. He created the board (even though the fag whined about it and didn't want to) because the audience was already here. That's why every time he deleted it he ended up bringing it back.

>>15311729
Ironically, it is /pol/ that is the newfag. It changed after it was revived. It's not like the old days anymore. It has become a victim of the digitilisation of politics. It is no longer a board for discussion but a propaganda channel for everyone out there with an agenda. No genuine discussion takes place there any more. It was very sad when I had to leave it.

>>15311856
No there's not newfag

>>15312033
wait
hol' up
so u be sayin
u was banned for suggesting that perhaps it was not after all the jewish diaspora which has been forever the cause of all of Western civilizations ills?

>>15312067
It's not about /pol/ being full of newfriends, an obvious fact, it's the ridiculous assertion that if you say something a blue checkmark on twitter would be offended by then you're a 'raid from /pol/'

>>15312067
Where do you think all of the people from pre-election /pol/ went, anon? They're not on /pol/ anymore but I can tell you right now they didn't all leave the website.

>>15312097
>They're not on /pol/ anymore

>>15312116
I mean I used to use /pol/ before the election. Now I haven't been on there in years because it's shit and /lit/ is probably my main board.

>>15310742
We all know there are a bunch of trads here too, it's a fucking lit board.

>>15310776
>Not judging by your standard critque thread
The poems there are better. Even the immature ones at least demonstrate more talent.

>>15310742
/lit/ is currently, has always been, and will always be a reactionary board. There is nothing you can do to change this.

>>15312182
Leftism is currently reactionary

>>15312182
/lit/ is in fact a board about literature and your political opinions are completely irrelevant

>>15310612
I just want to say the black response to this incident is proof they can't live alongside whites.

>>15312193
You have that backwards

>>15312210
I'm not a reactionary, I simply speak of the world as it is. You may not like reality, but it doesn't care about your likes and dislikes just as it doesn't care about mine.

>>15312226
>You may not like reality, but it doesn't care about your likes and dislikes

1. i am part of reality
2. i care about my likes and dislikes
3. therefore reality care about my likes and dislikes
you will literally not recover dont even reply

>>15312193
I feel like conservatism is the current reactionary. It's a reaction to the 2012-2016 boom of SJWs.

>>15312237
>i am part of reality
Prove it.
