/lit/ - Literature

Literally whom?

because he's based in religion and Lit can't live without religion, they gave autonomy a long time ago

Because he was a genuine genius.

Sadly the /pol/eddit christcucks have been attempting to co-opt recently.

>>17790710

I can relate to the underground man.

>>17790735
based on what

>>17790750
This.

>>17790710
He was based without even trying. He hastily wrote book after book for money but they came out better than the hacks who took years to write a single book.

>>17790710
cause he's a teenagers favourite

try reading his books and then you'll know why we like him

He writes in a way that is easy to read and about topics that interest most to 4chan people getting into literature: nihilism, the meaning of life and such trite. Allows them to feel they are appreciating one of the greats, too, as if they had taste.

>>17790973
I take it you don't think Dostoevsky is that good?

>>17790710
because of this

>>17790973
this post reeks of insecurity

>>17790735
>because he's based
I agree

>>17791289
he probably thinks he’s the next great author while all he does is copy nabokov’s opinions without having his own
many such cases

Every main character is emotional and autistic, just like /lit/.

>>17790710
the same reason why lit loves Jordan Peterson. the same demographic of young, sexually frustrated sadboys on lookout for meaning in a meaningless world

>>17790973
>such trite

>>17790710
Based slav meme, he appeals to right wingers and Christian larpers, died centuries ago so he is for "intellectuals", Jordan Peterson quotes him constantly, etc.

>>17790710
I don't love him, but I do love The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, An Honest Thief, and White Nights.

>>17791332
>/lit/
>loves jordan cuckerson
how fucking new are you

>>17790710
Notes From Underground is literally a series of schizoposts and spaghetti pastas

Because through his characters he deeply explored human psyche as few authors did (before or after).

He taps into a lot of demographics
>NEETs
>nostalgiafags
>incels
>tradcaths
He’s kind of like 19th century Jordan Peterson writing whacky soap opera novels

>>17791387
The gambler was way better.

>>17791436
>He’s kind of like 19th century Jordan Peterson writing whacky soap opera novels
He is precisely nothing like that

anyone comparing doesto to Peterson is either baiting or is non sentient and should stick to Peterson and leave doesto alone

>>17791387
and hence, why it is my all time favorite.

>>17791483
I didn't compare Dosto to Peterson. I said he appeals to the same demographic

>>17791498
idk who it was but someone said that doesto was like if Peterson wrote wacky soaps which is what I. was responding to

>>17791483
This, at least Peterson has actual science backing up his ideas.

>>17790735
>Lit can't live without religion, they gave autonomy a long time ago
Amen.

>>17791520
Jordan Peterson has a kermit voice and will probably never say anything eloquently or with good poetics in his whole life, while doesto did every page while not even caring about what he was writing

>>17791378
>>jordan cuckerson
That's really clever anon,Aall that time spent browsing this board is really paying off.

>>17791572
*ahem*

JORDAN PETERSOY

>>17791436
post tits and feet

>>17791436
>>17791332
>>17790973
You have never read him

>>17791332
>lit loves Jordan Peterson
The lefties on /lit/ hate Jordan Peterson
The fascists on /lit/ hate Jordan Peterson
The conservatives on /lit/ hate Jordan Peterson
The socdems on /lit/ hate Jordan Peterson
Literally no one likes him here. They may be thankful that he introduced them to Nietzsche/Dostoevsky/Jung/Solzhenitsyn or whatever but they aren’t interested in his thought now. Those 4 are much more profound that JP. Also he’s really losing it (I do feel bad for him desu). https://youtu.be/VbVwV8_TEkM

>>17792604
I like him here.

>>17792604
>Nietzsche/Dostoevsky/Jung
the only difference between them and Peterson is that those schizos are dead Europeans so they are cool

>>17790710
because he gave us Notes from Underground
nah just kidding, he gave us everything he had

>>17791520
Psychology isn't science.

>>17792604
This. Jordan Peterson is essentially the edgiest person on the intellectual dork web which everyone with a brain hates.

>>17792604
Mannnn that was sad

>>17790710
his novels are excellent and they express deep truths

>>17790973
FUCK YOU. How could you say he doesn't have taste??? Why??? What world do you live in

>>17792682
Is notes actually that bad? It’s next on my stack.

>>17791648
yes

>>17790973
Post bookshelf

>>17792701
define "science"

he makes nihilists and other degenerates seethe

>>17791572
do you think everyone is a pseud who browses this board to "become more clever" like you do?

>>17790973
but hes not a nihilist (hint read demons)

My guess is that certain people pretend to to like him just to troll the elitists this place is filled with
>>17790735
I am radical atheist and I love him.

Well written dialogue & believable characters that age like wine. Without a doubt he was as cynical & paranoid as a modern incel.

>>17792604

>Everyone in /lit/ hates Jordan Peterson

You don't speak for us, motherfucker. Go stick it up your ass.

>>17790710
OP Anon, I gladly enjoy anything Peterson publishes and says in his lectures. He's literally one of the most based and important intellectuals of the last five years and will be one of our century's most important thinkers. JP is a huge fan of Dostoyevsky because of his incredible understanding and contributions to Psychology. Don't let lefty brainlets tell you otherwise.

>>17793647
He didn't say he was.

>>17794257
get help

>>17791350
>muh ooga booga right tribe left tribe
he was a genius and one of the greatest authors who has graced the world
you, on the other hand, will amount to nothing

>>17795056
Imagine simping so hard for some dead writer, reevaluate your life lol

>>17790750
Dilate

Bump

>he thinks trite is a noun

>>17790869

>>17796500
Is that image meant to disprove the guy you're responding to? Cos it really doesnt

>>17792604
I don't get why anyone would HATE jordan peterson. He's done nothing to make himself worthy of hatred besides bring philosophy to the mainstream. If anything he's done a service to manchildren (which the modern world is great for creating) by introducing them to meaning and maturity.

>>17791648
Onions

It is not what you think it is.

>>17792604
I'm conservative he is(was) literally me. So I don't need to be interested in his thought - I already have them.
and he has indeed lost it.

>>17796554
That poster is saying Dostoyevski wrote faster, while in fact he had years between novels.

This thread is way too corrosive and deriding. It is so unnecessary to be this rude about Dostoyevsky or any author. Why are you anon's so bitter about a so wonderful hobby as reading?

>>17795253
Holy based

>>17796999
That doesn't mean that he spent all the time between novels trying to write the novel.
There's an anecdote out there about how Dostoevsky was commissioned to write a book in 2 years and if he didn't all the rights to his books (past and future) would go to the person who hired him.
Dostoevsky spent 23 months writing nothing and then in the last month he wrote The Gambler.

>>17790710
great writer with themes that fit the board

>>17794854

This though i disagree with trite
