>Nietzsche
Reddits think they like him because 'god is dead' and they think he's a nihilist but they don't actually read him.
Nietzsche is antidote to the bug-man.

Nice meme but Reddit and 4chan have the same taste in literature/arts/media

your diary desu by the looks of things.

>>15928186
how is it you are so obsessed with a website whose bailiwick you claim not to inhabit?
are you so incapable of forming your own opinions?

>>15928198
You have to go back.

Pynchon: 4chan

DFW: reddit

prove me wrong

>>15928211
You have to go back, this is a Nietzsche board

>>15928186
Is obsession with reddit a newfag trait? I've never really been to reddit so I don't think about it independently. Why do those who hate the website so much always insert it into unrelated conversations on 4chan?

That's literally you in the image. You post a soijack and it makes you jump for joy.

>>15928226
yeah its a newfag thing, ironically a reflection of reddit dichotomies. upvote = "based", downvote = "reddit"

Literally the same books that are often memed into eternity on 4chan

>>15928218
This. DFW even ripped off Pynchon, which is like when Redditors screencap 4chan posts and put it on r/4chan. Pic related.

>>15928186
Why does Jordan Peterson trigger so many people? Reddit doubtlessly considers him transphobic.

The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

It has to be The God Delusion no question. That brand of 00’s evangelical atheism was always the most influential subculture or whatever on reddit when the site first became popular and was the foundation for some pretty legendary cringe.
Unless somebody makes a bestseller out of collecting all Neil Degrasse Tyson’s tweets this is always gonna be it.

>>15928349
In this case you’re basically letting reddit appropriate a few literary classics. In other words: rent-free

How about you read fucking books instead of complaining about the out group using them as a fashion accessory before you could.

Most of them, desu. Certain genres like sci-fi and horror have always been disfigured by the redditor before there was even a reddit.

>>15928226
I used to browse reddit and 4chan, and I was very good at recognizing reddit content on 4chan as a result. I used to call out reddit cringe and care far too much about it because I felt it reflected poorly on me, the teenage redditor, and the site I liked using. Now I'm an adult I don't give a fat shit about reddit, I just like talking about books.

Speaking of books, I'm reading Les Misérables and I'm enjoying it so far. It's very dramatic and it's a perfect subject for a play. It's rare that a book makes me want to see an adaptation of it. What are you guys reading?

No you are the only newfag

Every book is reddit to you people
None of you have actually listed books that redditors obsesse on.
Redditcore is Brandon Sandersand, Stephen King, 1984, and whatever Anti-Trump book that comes out to gift leftist into thinking that an establishment guy is on their side (John Bolton, Lara Trump, etc.)

>>15928186
Imagine not wanting to read books because other people that you don't like read them too. How very Reddit of you to be so easily swayed.

>>15929122
You're better off not reading any of those, though.

>>15928207
This, OP. Among the elite circles of both sites, they push the same books

Zizek
Plato.
Kant
Rand
Stirner
Dawkins
Spinoza

>>15928527
fuck you nigger. The Assgoblins of Auschwitz is a profound piece if the western literary canon.

>>15929134
There's nothing wrong with Nietzche. His take on most people being incapable of nuance when it comes to morality is as true today as it ever was. Human, All Too Human is like an edgy teen blog in book form but to throw him in with Kermit B Froggerson and The Fedora Bible is a bit much.

I can't leave. The "you're here forever" thing isn't a meme, you really are here forever.
I spent my entire teenage life here, and it has shaped how I view the world, I literally can not go to any other place online and feel at home. It just doesn't feel right.

You never think about the absence of something you have not encountered yet, like a primordial womb of pre-butterfly bliss. Alas, nothing is forever.
