/lit/ - Literature

>>20000417
He's a faggot.

>>20000417
/lit/ loves vidal tho. i think you're mistaking /tv/ fans who like buckley in one interview for /lit/.

>>20000427
this. pay no mind to /pol/ and your /lit/ experience will be ten times better

>>20000424
So are you but I wouldn't give you shit for it.

>>20000417
>He's /lit/ personified
He's a progressive reddit pseud, please kys.

>>20000468
He's more Conservative than you think.

>>20000468
you need to go back

>>20000468
>progressive reddit pseud

See, this is how I know /lit/ doesn't read.

>>20000474
>>20000477
All I know is that Lisa Simpson likes him and that's enough for me to know what he's worth.

>>20000468
Where's your treatise on the Axial Age?

>>20000482
>forming your opinion off a fucking Simpsons Episode

>>20000468
He's America's biographer, you fucking illiterate.

Woah look at the leftypol invaders freak out their hero is criticised.

>>20000494
>lefty pol
Do you know how triggered those trannies get by his opinions on trannies and gay sex?

>>20000500
Wasn't he a homosexual himself?

>>20000461
No, I mean an actual faggot. He's un/lit/. Also he voted Democrat which is reddit.

>>20000500
What do you mean? The faggot sucked off hundreds of dicks in his life.

>>20000494
>getting called lefty by someone who hasn't read a book
Being stupid doesn't make you right wing

>>20000504
He claimed they didn't exist, as an identity, and anyone who thought they were born this way and couldn't change were lying to themselves. You're a collection of your choices, just like you make the absolute failure move of thinking repeating shit you saw on the internet as fact was going to be informed conversation on a book. You're always going to have that moment in your life, but saying it's definitve of you and you're not choosing to act like an idiot every time you do it is letting you off easy. Just like pretending sucking cock isn't a case by case issue.

>>20000507
>I haven't read him
We know.

>>20000524
So? How the fuck is that profound? Jesus christ, am I supposed to be impressed?

>>20000524
Reddit pseudo-logic.

>>20000417
You're sharing a board with unironic Buckley fans, ignore them. Those who read understand Vidal's talent, he isn't among the greatest for sure but he's a good writer.

>>20000537
>How the fuck is that profound?
Were you under the impression that voicing your ignorant opinion was going to result in anon being profound rather than just pointing out you haven't read him?
>>20000539
I'll take your word for it that you read Reddit, but not that you've read Vidal.

>>20000417
I dislike Vidal because he had the audacity to make fun of Fitzgerald.

Is he really as good as he thinks?

>>20000542
>unironic Buckley fans,
They're not even good fans. I've read more of Buckley's kid's work than they're going to read of Buckley, though I can almost guarantee you their exposure to both is through a film streaming subscription.

>>20000555
>audacity to make fun of Fitzgerald.
Everyone makes fun of Fitzgerald. Even Zelda makes fun of Fitzgerald.

>It's a Vidal thread

>>20000424
OP did say /lit/ personified

>>20000417
>tfw Conservative
>ended up liking Vidal more than Buckley

That's how bad William Faggot Buckley is.

>>20000505
touch grass or seek help. your mind is a meme

>>20000417
Why do I see these threads and know immediately they're cross posters who home on a completely different board culture?

>>20000544
>he's trying to banter like Vidal

>>20000417
Epicureanism/Hedonism/Libertinism is just sophisticated existential nihilism.
Most on this board are just sophisticated nihilists who read books looking to prolong their metaphysical illness like heroin addicts looking for another fix of abyssal certainty.

>>20000622
And it’s working

>>20000678
>High on life: bad
Dumb take, nihilist

>>20000753
>Dumb take, nihilist
What's the telos then on getting "high on life"?
Where the transcendence out of nihilism?

>>20000843
Sounds to me like you're stuck in a false propositional duality.

>>20000843
Finding your own meaning is enough. Always has been. Thinking yourself into depression and suicide isn’t profound or intellectual. Not to defend this other extremist philosophy of hedonism. Epicureanism is a reasonable place to start.

>>20000424
fpbp

Vidal was a complete pseud and only a vapid brainless place like America could consider him an 'intellectual' for the sheer novelty of the fact he takes cocks in his ass, not unlike say OP.

>>20000621
tourists and shills have no notion of how hard they stick out or why

>>20000621
