>Is it all a big.. meme?
it's a small meme, no one in the real world knows what the fuck that book is and if they did they'd be like 'oh, that's written really badly', before giving a shit about it's faux-edginess

>>18524836
>>18524845
It's good.

Nice thread.

>>18524857
You're so handsome bro!

>>18524836
Makes trannies seethe because it was written by a person who is guilty via association.

That's it, that's the entire situation.

>>18524871
not true, I read Harassment Architecture without knowing who he was or being biased about extreme politics. still thought it was terrible

>>18524875
That's not the point I was making. It's popular because of it's aesthetic appeal of being part of an anti establishment dissident subculture that makes trannies seethe who end up promoting the book through their seething.

Take threads on this book as an example, most of the posts are people seething and then people replying telling them to dilate. If there was no seething it wouldn't be nearly as note worthy.

Gothic Violence is a dark comedy fiction novella, in reality.

>>18524857
Wow what the fuck is wrong with you

>>18524867
>bro
No, this creep saved my picture from another thread and modified it, this is the original.

>>18524871
In the circles I'm in everyone liked the author to be honest, and they're not right wing

>>18524908

Am I overthinking things or op pic is a joke?: gothic violence in contrast with domestic violence

>>18524836
Harassment Architecture read like a discount American Psycho, so I was able to enjoy it. This, however, was incredibly dull, and so infantile too. No, Mike Ma, repeating Jordan Peterson talking points is not counter culture and anti-establishment, it just makes you sound like a dork. Overall, Gothic Violence is just your standard YA schlock, teen angst included.

Do some wrist curls anon

>>18525089
Jordan Peterson is, by definition, counter-culture and to a unintentionally anti-establishment in current year.

>>18524836
why did you punch a wall and scrape your knuckle anon? you really need to stop drinking so much, it makes you angry.

>>18524836
loved it. favourite book ive read so far this year

>>18525089
>peterson isnt counter culture
lol get a load of this absolute dimwit

Fuck off back to whatever hugbox you came from you dumb bitch

>>18525260
>>18525762
Ok Mike

>>18525787
I admit it's a very sad state of affairs that JP is counter-culture, I don't feel good about it either.

OP is a retard. That's all.

>>18524836
Why did you spend money on it if you knew next-to-nothing about it?

>>18525762
ahha right lmao you should totally explain to that midwit loser how Peterson is totally counter culture lol
just as a joke lol

>>18524836
Look at that soft and lymphatic hand. Maybe you should go lift some weights. What a disgusting little hand and shrimp-wrist.

>>18524836
My question is why did this become a meme

>>18526667
>one off.
Also because of "guerrilla marketing" tactics.

>>18526674
Like an F Gardner shill campaign?

>>18526682
I still do not really know, nor do I care to know, anything about this Gardner dude.
But I suppose so. I only heard of the first book because of some fed I know who heard of it on /pol/

>>18525773
Holy fucking shit gigabased

>>18524908
It was made in that thread. I saved it because it looks like guenon

>>18524908
do want to be mai waifu???0w0

>>18526694
He’s the anon who made Call of the Crocodile.

that onions hand cant be real

>>18524908
First it was the retard in the red beanie and now mr. gay black metal ova here...

>>18524850
Go to bed Mike

>>18526638
Establishment media hates JP. JP is literally countering establishment culture despite him representing establishment culture circa 1990. That's just how things are.

>>18524836
im trying to imagine to imagine what you look like based off your hand and its not looking good bro... but thats ok, you're probably a nice guy

>>18527738
That would be depressing if I hadn't already been disillusioned 10+ years ago.

>>18524836
I will never read this book and certainly won't spend money on it either, but I must admit that the cover art looks kick-ass. I'd be willing to bet the cover contributes more to its minor infamy than the actual content does.

>reading right-wing neckbeard fantasies when you could read about a literal Japanese samurai proto-fascist fighting in the trenches of the first world war
Of all the books you could have shilled you could have shilled a good one.

epic freaking bacon

This was the most based thing someone ever posted on this shithole of a forum. Is there any live link?

>>18524875
>without being biased about extreme politics
was it even a book about politics?
it's like the book version of "loud = funny" and I feel like forming an opinion of it is meant to make you feel stupid

I actually did find it funny though
definitely didn't learn anything about politics

>>18524875
Similar as you but I thought HA was alright. Reminded me of something Chuck Palahniuk would write if he was a young man in our times.

>>18524836
I enjoyed it, but as a disclaimer I carry many of the same tastes and characteristics of Mike. It is spoken in a semi-autobiographical tone, like HA, but with an added back story setting the goth tone. Some of the darker prose sections were meaningless, but I might go back through and re-read it to see if I missed something.

I liked it because it's different, and I can pick apart meaningful things in the message. Kind of like this place. It reads like Less than Zero meets Uncle Ted, but not as edgy as you might expect.

>>18528285
>meaningful things in the message

Actually responding to myself, I fucking hate Bret Ellis so I take that back. It might be considered insulting.

>>18528302
It would be different for everyone. But just the general trajectory of the future of America. The religious undertones and darker symbolism and how they tie in to that future. It's obviously fictional, but worth thinking about.

>>18528325
No e-book format? I don't buy anything online.

>>18528325
>>18528351
I mean to say, I don't buy anything on line which would expose my shipping address. The only time I use my shipping address is when it's inevitable (government shit). Otherwise I prefer to avoid using it.

>>18528351
>>18528359
Not yet. You can read parts of it online in the archive. Just look up "Shimoi"

>>18524836
Dead white male.

>>18528359
>>18528596
That said, Lulu.com is a secure site and not really connected to 4chan in any way. You buy directly from them and there aren't any intermediaries. I've sold several books through them and I can see the country somebody bought it from but thats it.

I decided to stop buying meme books after Call of the Crocodile

>>18524908
Did daddy diddle you

>>18526694
Eh I'd consider it a compliment. Gardner's well known here. If you're being compared to him then it means your books must be good.

>>18524836
>Is it all a big.. meme?
yes

>>18528625
why the hell did it take you so long?

>>18528625
That's your own fault. There are daily threads about those books and everyone knows Cal of the Arcade is the best one. You picked the meme book.

What the fuck is wrong with your arm

>>18528658
Is Call of the Arcade actually better?

>>18525260
>new York times best seller
>one of youtubes favourite intellectuals(lol)
>is given a platform on mainstream media
>counter culture and anti establishment
lmfao
he is counter-initiation

another thread with no sample pics. One of them did but it was just tjhe first pages and the prose and material was bad. But I'm still biased towards wanting to enjoy it so post some pics from different chapters OP
Maybe I wont sage on my second reply if there is one

>>18524836
Odd looking hand

>>18524908
I want to fuck you.

>>18528718
Much better.

Based Pine Tree Flag patch. I have a flag. I dont know what to do with it

>>18524836
It's one of the best contemporary fiction releases in recent memory. The absolute majority of contemporary literature is bluepilled politically charged "fuck donald plumf and white people" pandering trash. You shills won't make an objectively fresh and entertaining novel "bad" just by trying to discredit it on social media lol. Try harder it just makes people want to read it more.

>>18526638
Absolute cope. Are you really this brainwashed? Coca Cola and Nike shill trannies, race mixing and defunding police. You think you are anti-establishment by posting shitlib takes on twatter? hahaha

>>18524908
>>18529997
Do Americans really think this is hot? Looks like the meth head who works the graveyard shift at my local 7/11

>>18529997
yuck. another femcel dumbass with piercing who fetishizes military gear. you look 40 you ugly cunt

>>18524875
harassment architecture was good until 50 pages in where the author constantly repeated himself about "muh ancient civilisation"

>>18530209
Just like my mom

Lmao I bet this is the average physique of people who buy imageboard extremist meme books. Go to the gym faggot.

amazon crushing any chances of their workers unionizing is super far left. straight up communism shit.

Reminder that Amazon said promoting diversity was an anti-union tactic.
