/lit/ - Literature

Why did he delete the wendigoon video? I also don't like that he autistically replies to comments like Sadler. He ends up looking like a retard.

For me it's Matthew, he would 100% be an anon if he knew about this place.

He's a teacher who straight up calls his students retards and implies most of them are non-white. He always talks about "living in the desert" so I'm guessing they're Hispanic, not black.

He's super enthusiastic about /lit at least on camera and I can't help but respect him the way I'd respect a kamikaze pilot. There's NO chance he's maintain enthusiasm as he gets even a little older and accepts he'll never be a successful writer (as will 99.999%, he might be very good for all I know). There's almost no way to reconcile wanting success and wanting to be a writer. He's ain't no Ligotti recluse who despises attention.

>For me it's Matthew, he would 100% be an anon if he knew about this place.
Don't know him but I'll check him out. If you're prediction is correct, all it would take is a dozen of us spamming his comments.

>>23292663
>He's a teacher
lmao he sounds like a retarded dudebro. Is he really a teacher? Poor children

>>23292661
What's his channel?

>>23292680
>lmao he sounds like a retarded dudebro. Is he really a teacher? Poor children
Somwhat. His two obsessions are Cormac and DFW. I know little about DFW but from his interviews I would absolutely peg him as a midwit narcissist. I haven't read him so no opinion on his work. But like all non-faggots I love McCarthy.

>>23292563
Brah I just watched his how to make $ with poetry and this guy is a retard

>>23292666
Don't be like that.

Listen at 1.5 speed.

>>23292691
Just the way he talks is enough for me to write him off. He sounds low IQ. The fact he gets routinely BTFO in the YT comments section is just the icing on the cake. He was definitely a /lit/ lurker, I can sense it.

Hey, I'm grading on a curve. You have literally 1000x more options for men discussing video games vs /lit.

>>23292703
Thank you
>>23292769
Fair enough. The most /lit/ channel I've found has been Book Club From Hell. You might like them.

I think he said he's had multiple concussions had to learn how to read again

What do you guys think of Steve Donoghue? It’s funny how one of the most well-read people in America is a massive libtard who literally thinks that Trump is going to take over the country with force and brutally murder dissidents like Pinochet in the 70s.

>>23292812
His real forte is Greco-Roman literature. That's where he sounds intelligent. When he talks about anything beyond that he sounds like a pleb. His Dickens video is pathetic and makes him look more like a redditor than a professional critic..

He looks like the kind of guy who would be extremely offended if called him a pseudo intellectual mongoloid faggot Wendicoon wannabe.

>>23292817
Yes, disregarding his views on philosophy.
>Even a 5 year old knows what’s right and wrong, ergo all works of philosophy are just pointless navel-gazing
Also he once disparaged Aristotle’s writings because he supported slavery.

100 Nonfiction recommendations. When I see an ultra-voracious reader who's also a NEET living in squalor, it seriously makes me sad. How's this different than a fat welfare housewife you sits on TikTok and IG all day? So what if his consooming is far more highbrow? What's the point when his lived experience outside reading is identical to the woman's?

For me, it’s grantlovesbooks

>>23292563
He's kinda based, I don't care that much about American authors but I like listening to that guy rambling

If I had my way every single video on Youtube would be deleted.
I am not reading anything in this thread.
Feel free to reply to me, I may or may not read your response.

Stop watching all this shit. Do something better.

>>23293828
They’re well read and give good recommendations that’s way more diverse than the same 20-30 books that have been discussed here over and over again for the past 10 years. A better use of my time than browsing this board imo

>>23292812
most intelligent, well-informed people who aren't mainly concerned with being BASED on xitter and /pol/ think that that is a concern...

Is this really confusing to you? He doesn't force inclusion of books written by black trannies, but he does preface his choices with 5 minutes of "here's why I'm not a racist."

>>23293843
I'll vouch for the pipe smoker as far as being a very niche kind of entertainment, the rest smoke cock.

>>23293037
you are a pajeet. most likely you came to /lit/ recently because you found out about it from BASED xitter

>>23293817
It's well over.

>>23293864
No, intelligent people are not concerned that somebody who was already President for a term - and who did nothing dictatorial whatsoever, even when the country was being burned down by mobs of his political enemies or when an election was being rigged right under his nose - will suddenly become Adolf Hitler in his second term. It's a retarded concern aired by retarded people who can't think critically.

>>23293875
lads

>>23294383
>intelligent people believe the election was rigged
lmao

>>23292627
Certain people are only worth autistic replies, like feminists

>>23294387
it was pretty clearly rigged. both indirectly by the suppression of information by the media and directly by the ballot harvesting, and also the printing of fraudulent ballots snuck into the system through dropoff voting

>>23294387
No you're right, it wasn't rigged. They just changed all the rules in key states in a way which destroyed the auditability of the vote, sometimes illegally, and then it was just a coincidence that turnout hit a record high for modern US history despite record low enthusiasm for both candidates and 19 of the 20 most reliable bellwether counties voted for the losing candidate for the first time ever.

The most normal election ever held, truly.

>>23292563
Fuck off with your e-celeb bullshit. Not literature.

>>23294547
Nobody actually talks about literature here anymore, the subject has long wandered off the plantation

>>23292691
>I know little about DFW but from his interviews I would absolutely peg him as a midwit narcissist.
Not a midwit but perhaps a narcissist. He did, however, have important things to say. He did a good job documenting just how inane TV was, especially when it went full postmodernist in the ‘90s.

ah that's a better explanation. Sorry, I'm a little slow.

>The most normal election ever held, truly.
When I was younger I naively would see some outrageously obvious corrupt gvnt bullshit and think "this can't be right, they can't think they'll get away with it."

Of course I now know they not only don't care it's obvious, they get off on it being obvious. In a "fair" society they know they only need to slightly tilt 51% of the low-info idiots into believing them, and then it doesn't matter if the other 49% are willing to bet their lives on identifying the fraud. And even then, if we had a 50/50 power split the two sides might obey a kind of MAD and avoid the worst excesses. But the Dems control the media, every big city judiciary, and 25% of GOP are still legacy neocon cucks. That means only the Dems have been pulling their Nazi shit the past 8 years.

Do any of these white men have the balls to discuss white men being entirely shut out of modern publishing? It's not like any of them are ever going to "make it" so why not tell the truth?

Seriously what stimulants is he on? Heavy adderall? Does quite sound like meth even though he lives in meth central.

>>23292563
why are you watching videos about other people reading books

>>23295672
>why are you watching videos about other people reading books
why are you posting on a Negro tranny book forum instead of reading books?

>>23292812
I generally like him enough to look pass his personality faults. he can be a little based; back in 2018 twitter had a whole ordeal with him over something. don't know what it was but I'm sure it was based. im glad he stopped showing his face real close to the camera, close enough to see his dried old man skin, with his dog. that was real nice of him

>>23295765

hmm, his Twitter is suspended, without a doubt pre-Elon. I guess he is indeed based and I'll forgive his minimal groveling to the sjw's.

politically, he's kinda weird. I've seen his name and face on a conservative magazine and he does make make of sjw books on his channel. but my god, does trump Make him rant. he might be a Lincoln log republican that when more and more left since 2016.

He's just reddit.

>>23292563
He's part of Blooms ridicules school of thought where all literature is secretly gnostic and if a work can not be read in a gnostic way then its not real literature.

>>23292812
can't stand that guy

For me it's Leonie.

>>23292563
buy an ad faggot

Guys... he's not a conservative. Why have none of you pointed this out? Surely you're not posted your opinions in this thread about a minor e-celeb you've never even heard about before.

>>23292919
You do realize that nobody has been able to view dislikes on YouTube for like 5 years now, right?
