Kinda felt like doctor stone in hindsight,you think he ripped of the koreans?

Well they'll just have to suck my fat chode then :^)

Sometimes I feel like Cormac was vulgar for the sake of it, but then I drive through America and as I deal with people I realize they truly are one catastrophic event away from total barbarism. They literally toe the line of being as obscene and vile as they can as long at they ensure not to step over and cross into the realm of outside.

>>18314461
Cormac is a Barbarian like all Americans, but he is a most self-aware Barbarian.

>>18314392
Do you realize how many quality scenes you had to read past in order for your coombrain to observe and hyperfocus on the one part involving pizzles? Of course you do. You were keeping a mental tally the whole time about how there wasn't enough gay sex in it for you. Faggot OP

Anon.. I just. In all seriousness thought the internet has shown us that humanity is universal. We have rednecks and England has chavs. If you can find me a society that is filled with beautiful kind people I'll eat my hat.

You are a projecting American. What you see as being "universal" is actually the dominance of American culture at play.

>>18314523
Nobody gives a shit, true crime fag.

>>18314546
>true crime fag
that's a new one

>>18314553
It's not, we've been shitting on bored housewives who consoom this vulgar lowbrow garbage before you even found this bored.

>>18314508
This is controversial, but I don't consider Japans societal structure to be nice, but rather a hyperautistic love of authority that enforces respect. The problem with Japan is when one little thing goes wrong their robotic facade crumbles and they show themselves as the kamikaze pilots they are.

Shut the fuck up.

>>18314637
I didn't watch any documentaries about it though, I literally just read about it online. Am I a "true crime fag" for knowing who this cutie is?

>>18314661
I don't know who that is so I'm going to assume yes.

>I have like 10 pounds to lose which I can do in three weeks
Then do it instead of reading about serial killers fat cunt.

>>18314748
We care that 16 year olds like you post here.

>>18314777
You WOULD want a 16 year old to notice you, huh?

>>18314777
You're getting old and sour like spoiled milk, butterfly

>>18314776
Oh my bad I just realized you quoted the tripfag. I would die before unironically namefagging with some gay butterfly shit.

>>18314392
He's symbolically connecting war with the excrement of man.

>>18314534
He clearly does not mean the universality of culture, but the personalities of people. That everyone has his idiots and intelligents.

>>18314392
>So this is american "literature" at its finest
You already posted this except with some excerpt about tortilla. You cherry pick passages out of context to make them sound retarded, never do you pick any of the actual beautiful or thought provoking prose

What would be a good Blood Meridian slash ship. The Kid x ???. Sproule maybe?

You just KNOW that if this incident occurred anywhere else, even in America no one here would ever mention it.

why does 4chan meme about this death so much? it's not even bad as that guy who had his daughter locked up until she was 40 and raped her in a basement every day.

>>18315358
Uhhh
At least in comparison, Fritz had a certain degree of compassion for his daughter, despite what he did, seeing as his weakness to her pleas to get childcare for one of the sick incestbabies is what caused him to be discovered in the first place. Furthermore, half of the kids they had together he did induct into the "family" with his wife. Yeah, he was very well the furthest thing from a saint, but it seems like there was still a glimmer of filial compassion that existed so far beneath the otherwise storeyed the depravity, whereas that moon girl was just manifest depravity all the way down. Without any extracurricular investigation into either case, at least, that's a general surmise I could draw according to each case's notoriety.

>>18314400
This isn't postmodern. Get your definitions right.

>>18314513
Bullshit.

>>18314766
Are you saying that isn't fucked up?

>>18314513
This is true

>>18315510

Naa. He has a very ambivalent attitude to Mexico. Yes, in general the average peasant is kindly, but some of his nastiest people are there. Think about Eduardo in Cities of the Plain, or the men who are going to rape the girl in The Crossing as a matter of course. Also there's an undercurrent of casual cruelty (especially towards animals) which is alien to the North American mindset.

>>18314400
Lol at postmodern. Humiliating in how wrong you are.

>>18315088
The kid x that one hermit guy who tried to rape him.

>>18314669

Oof. Newfags.

>>18314392
I wish he used capitals and exclamation points, this scene would be so much better if it was PISS MAN, PISS FOR YOUR VERY SOULS
I also feel like the lack of quotation marks make the dialogue more lifeless because quotation marks are like the symbol to my brain to stop reading in my normal bland prose voice and switch to a character’s voice

>>18315882
I've sometimes considered getting a pdf of Blood Meridian and punctuating it properly with inverted commas and plenty of semicolons, and translating the Spanish into proper English and printing it out and posting it to CM at Santa Fe.

>>18315882
I've never read dialogue with a characters voice in my head.

>>18316037
Then every character sounds like a robot

>>18316059
Ok let me clarify, I’m not saying a character’s specific voice, but you at least have to add accentuation and expression

>>18315882
>>18316031

>>18316031
he might get a kick out of that

>>18315680
>america in blood meridian
everyone is shit it ranges from like petty criminal to literally violence personified
>mexico in the border trilogy
lots of people and probably the average person are really generous and kind but some people are shit

>>18315680
>>18316126
ATPH has a more black and white depiction of Mexicans but The Crossing nails them imo. Remember that scene where the Indians give Billy and Boyd food but don't speak a word to them and seem apprehensive, it was a statement about their biblical duty to provide food to the needy moreso than any real sympathy.

>>18316088
I love cormac as much as the bect guy and I’m fine with the lack of commas and semicolons but it’s just way too hard not to read the dialogue without expression

>>18316088
you guys are niggers

>>18315561
>What? People getting bombed in the Middle East? Don't care.
The only rational reaction.

>>18315882
Cormac take notes

>>18314766
>Unattached loving kindness for all sentient beings
>Impassioned love for all men
>Pity for the vulnerable (men who cry over Junko)
>Love for those you personally know
>Affection for those who benefit you
>Psychopathic disregard for all life (you)

How does it feel to be the lowest form of man?

>>18314513
Swedes are about as loathsome and hateful as Indian people, they just hide it better.
