when dialogue is clearly futile ,yes

welcome to lit, where we're all pseuds and none of us read much
there was once a survey done on fit not too long ago. surprise surprise, we're all DYELs
>i think i see a an ongoing trend in re 4chan boards

>>15481920
The thing is: They already have a board for this kind of shit. Why do they have to come here and do this same stuff with the excuse of literature? Why do they love talking about what they hate? Is there a kind of joy in being mad all the time?

>>15482532
It’s easier to blame others for your own misfortune and shortcomings. “Why should I even bother trying when (insert:chad,racial group,religious belief) has got (insert:wealth,power,jobs,women)anyway?” It’s one big circle jerk. The 4chan we knew is gone too, internet censorship, pornography, US politics, and all sorts of meaningless internet distractions has caused all intellectual discussion to go down the drain and created a giant echo chamber that encompasses the entire internet. 1984 George Orwell’s interpretation of the 2 minute hate has come to life, users turning all their passion into hate to a sort of climax. Countries like Russia are also guilty of hiring trolls to spread division, so there’s that too. The early 2010s forums we once knew are long gone anon. Get off the internet and join a book club.

>>15481920
The neo-nazis at least pretend to read books. The evo-psych biological reductionist pseuds who preach about how Chad is fucking somebody and winning football games while you read books are a bigger scourge.

Hard to have real discussion when
>book for tfw I’m trans btw
threads are nothing but shallow bait. /lit/ used to be a very slow board. But 2016 election ruined 4chan for everyone except for incels who don’t know what they believe or care about what they think as long as it triggers the libs. And everyone who was on /lit/ is a lib because they read. That’s the intelligentsia. Those college going faggots that read books.

>>15482849
>The neo-nazis at least pretend to read books.
What difference does that make?

>>15481920
>I'm a misogynist and I still read works by female authors.
tell us more about why you do this. does it entertain you? do you learn anything?

>>15481920
>and I come to a surge in neo-nazi incel users

Why then have every generation of people from the Romans to the Medieval era to the enlightenment thinkers to the modern era have all notices the same negative traits in Jews?

I’m gonna complain

“Neo-Nazism” aka right wing reactionary politics, IS intellectual. The anti-intellectuals are the academic establishment who refuse to challenge their thinking

>>15482939
If you were to talk to them, they at least come off as intelligent because they took the time to read or atleast held a reasonably intelligent argument with little shit throwing (although it was mainly just books that agreed with their views) but now its just all shitposts and meme replies

>>15481920
THERES TOO MANY ZOOMER NIGGERS ANON WE NEED TO DESTROY THEM ALL

>>15482977
No it's not, I know there has been attempts at rebranding Neo-Nazism as intellectually deep, but it's still at the root a barbaric vile ideology that only appeals to white niggers, no amount of mysticism and basic bitch word salad can change the facts

>>15483217
It's on the same level of depth as most other political ideologies.

>>15483262
>>15483217
It's materialistic insofar as yung Adam says his skin better than yor skin. A better "nazi" take imo would try harder to reimagine what cultural diversity is before condemning it so readily, otherwise you're just going to attract depressed losers that want an Other to bully

>>15481920
They'll all be gone soon enough. If they don't actually read, there won't be much point for them sticking around, especially if they only started using 4chan and getting interested in literature because of the social isolation. All the retards from /pol/ and /r9k/ etc. will head back once they're bored of this board.

>>15482977
This is the most retarded take I've ever heard. Right wing reactionary politics do not want the masses to be educated and they blame, just like you are doing right now, the people who read books and try to push the depths of knowledge and teach the masses. You are an absolute buffoon. A troglodyte. You are god's goof upon the world.

>>15483299
>try to push the depths of knowledge and teach the masses.
Mutually exclusive. Academia now serves to indoctrinate masses into the state religion and train new priests. It has nothing to do with knowledge anymore

>>15483311
You are literally posting anti-intellectual dogma right now in a thread abut anti-intellectualism and neo-nazis, as you quote fucking faggotbug. You are arguing against OPs proposition while somehow having the gall to reshape the argument for your own benefit. It's absolutely absurd. Are you larping?

>>15483331
Anti-intellectualism is not the same thing as pointing out the state of your holy institutions.

>>15481924
>>15481929
>>15481933
Pottery. Zoomers can't read

I hate nazis

>>15483338
Okay, how so?

>>15483352
Intellectual inquiry as a social practice requires freedom and meritocracy

>>15483376
freedom for me, but not for thee

>>15483331
>Intellectualism doesn't exist without the institution
Isn't this the real anti-intellectualism though? You're trying to curtail actual intellectualism by controlling it through academia. Anyway your whole ranting point is just complaining about short attention span people. At least they're here, hopefully reading post. So post something interesting instead of whining.

>>15483217
Literally everyone who challenges leftist dogma is a “nazi”
That’s the point. Those are the people doing the thinking. Not the pudding brained automatons who want to make it illegal to call a man in a dress “he”

>>15483391
You can read a fuckin' book any time you like. Thinking that the education system is the true threat to the world is the biggest of copes. Tell me more about wooden doors, faggot.

>>15483398
>MUH FREEDUMS
>I think corporate america is going to support LGBTQ radical legislation
>blame (((them)))
>doesn't understand how the law works
>If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT A NAZI YOU LIBTARD

Are you fucking kidding me?

>>15483299
The masses still seem fucking retarded so it doesnt seem like it works that well

>>15481920
Do you really think so? /Lit/ has definitely declined, but I think putting it all on /pol/ is a bit over simplistic and frankly a bit idealogical. In my opinion, the quality of /lit/ went down the same time as its elitism went down, which (surprise, surprise) started happening after some litcharts were posted to reddit. This led to an increase in incels, nazis, chapocels, genrefags, tripfags, namefags, blogposters, identitarians, and reddit atheists. Threads like "Why are women inferior to men?" are indicators that old /lit/ is dead, but threads like "Aren't you guys a bit too hard on Harry Potter" were the first cough of the disease.

>>15483490
just goes to show how effective corporate conservative anti-intellectualism is. Ready for the red scare part deux?

>>15483513
more like the brown scare part ongoing

>>15481920
This is the kind of bait we like to see! Still, sage in every field shall go... ;-)

>>15483513
Dont most corporations require some kind of degree for most positions? How does that work?

>>15483511
>genrefags
I knew letting these fags here was going to bring cancer

>>15483539
There are conservative schools, conservative programs, etc. People's obsession with schools being filled with postmodern neo-marxists is over rated. Most professors just want to teach a textbook and go home to their family and work their night job. Though the response to this now is "LOOK HOW INEFFICIENT AND BAD THE SCHOOLS ARE" instead of "LOOK HOW EVIL AND INDOCTRINATING THE SCHOOLS ARE." Coporate america just wants to see a piece of paper to know you can follow the rules for 4 years. The true search for knowledge isn't based on what job you can get or what degree you have. It's the individual that does that. The school system gives those individuals an opportunity to meet with alive experts, not just books, and a place to grow their craft or knowledge. "OH LOOK THE SCHOOL ISNT EVEN ABOUT LEARNING HUHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHH" holy shit shut the fuck up.
>>15483527
No kidding, split the poor up by color and they'll fight forever.

>>15483568
the brown scare refers to the hysterical paranoia over fascism

>>15483548
I really think that was the start. Learning how bad Harry Potter sucked and getting familiar with Bloom criticism was a really great filter that either made people leave or got them thinking about literature past plot and character moments. When enough people refused to listen to that, everybody's opinion suddenly became valuable and now we have 800 Reply threads about Abigail Shapiro's tits or whatever.

>>15483568
Why do you type like a fag? You don't even know paragraphs.

>>15483573
lmao what cope
>>15483589
I love the direct attack without refuting anything I said. Also luring me into the trap of if I use paragraphs I'll be accused of reddit spacing. Fuck you faggot.

>>15483609
Do you want to do the whole song and dance about race and IQ

>>15483613
Not really. Thank u for understanding, anon.

>>15483618
I do understand it's hard to have a worldview predicated on laughable bullshit you can't question for fear of being ostracized. I sympathize really.

>>15481920
like petulant children, those who have nothing going on in their lives try to tear down everything else around them
I'm slowly recovering from my /lit/ addiction thanks to faggots who give me brain cancer with their insipid posts

>>15483630
You understand because your current worldview is also predicated on laughable bullshit you can't question for fear of being ostracized? I feel like whether this is an insult or sincere it's normalizing by equating a radical ideology with one that think's schools aren't evil.

>>15483666
I was raised like you and I remember being literally incapable of addressing 'what is the evidence for and against racial differences' as an empirical question in my mind. It was literally unthinkable heresy. The sheer amount of fear progressives live under, fear of even letting certain thoughts stray into their minds, thoughts that correspond perfectly with the reality they are forced to observe, is really quite something.

>>15481920
/lit/ has certainly declined over the years but your fantasies about some "nazi" uprising are absurd. Go ahead, look through the catalogue right now, the majority of political threads are posted by delusional leftists like yourself. Of course you prefer to make threads about your boogeyman instead of contributing anything worthwhile to this board. Read a book and fuck off nigger.

>>15481920
The zealotry of the recent convert. It's pretty obvious. Lot of new kids over the quar.

Reminder: /leftypol/ are conducting raids atm and are as much of a scourge as /pol/. Do not engage and remember to sage.

>some tourist faggot wants to complain about a decline in the quality of /lit/
>it's a "MISOGYNY AND RACISM ARE BAD :o( THEY HURT MY GAY FEELINGS" redditor

every time. i don't like /pol/ either but they are a drop in the bucket of the garbage posts here overall. you are a tourist n**ger and probably a w*man too.

>>15483684
I'm not incapable of addressing evidence of racial differences, I just don't care about it because I don't see it as a problem. Jews are smarter, blacks are stronger, why should I care?

>>15483816
Really you're fine with admitting that most sub-saharan populations are 1-2 standard deviations lower in average IQ than Europeans?

care to explain why you're a misogynist? I don't usually care but you sound like you have a more nuanced view of the situation than most since you're willing to read women

>>15483822
Yeah, there are retards everywhere. Who cares? I could go into IQ being a questionable metric for intelegence within specific cultural contexts and the whole sociological and economic inequality thing, but again, why do we care? YOU won't care. You'll just want to argue about it for fun. WHY should I care?

>>15483840
There are significantly more retards per capita in some populations. You don't have to care at all. I'm just musing on how dumb your worldview is.

By all means let's hear your arguments about IQ not being predictive or socio-economic factors managing to account for disparities.

>>15483685
Honestly this. Politifags endlessly warring with each other have killed this board's (already small) pedigree. Ditto with religiousfags and reddit atheists. The book board is shit because people refuse to discuss books on it.

>>15482008
Idk I noticed it too, it started about a couple weeks ago and then this political crap in the news emboldened them.

>>15483883
Religiousfags are fine, provided they actually read. Then again, I'm a religiousfag, but I'm sick of every Christian thread being either
>People arguing about homosexuality
>People arguing about women
>Catholics fighting with revisionist Protestants
or
>LARPing Catholics or Orthodox saying shit like "BEGOM, IT IS THE WHITE MAN'S RELIGION"
There's good religious literature and great discussions could be had, but that's not what's gonna happen on /lit/

>>15483852
If there’s no reason to care, then let’s not and stick to you telling me how dumb I am.

>>15483927
There's definitely a reason to care. The reason is that academia not only pretends this isn't true but excoriates anyone who suggests it is. It undermines the credibility of the entire institution, which institution has massive influence on other spheres of society including the press, public education, legislation, and mass culture. You specifically don't have to care, do what you like.

>>15483946
Cool beans.

>>15481920
Name one theme from your favorite book. Not a motif. A theme.

>>15484414
>Not a motif. A theme.
Not him. What's the difference between motif and theme?

>>15481920
Nigger! I have a bad headache!

>>15484431
A motif is something that reoccurs often. It can be a single word like war, religion, apathy, or violence.

A theme can include a motif, but it takes a specific stance. For example, "the exploitive nature of war on the lower class," or "religion was a necessity to keep order in medieval cities."
