/lit/ - Literature

Why do people so often take identity from their personal likes? It's like a brand of personal jingoism. Is this what it means to be a hipster?

Barthelme
Beckett
PKD, Neal Stephenson


Wittgenstein
Kierkegaard, Kant

Plato
Alphonse Mucha


Art Nouveau

Satie, Schubert

You're right. When you explain it that way, God, you're right. I'm sorry for having interests.

Dude other boards have surveys all the time. Go to /pol/ and you'll find a metric shitton of posts about people's political philosophies / beliefs on contemporary issues. /x/ regularly has "do you believe in" surveys. /r9k/ is all about their beta NEET stats and I shouldn't even have to mention /mu/. This is the board for all people interested in the arts and culture. Why the fuck can't we have something similar without some asshole screaming "hipster faggot" at us?

>>3191227

I've never laughed, you sick fuck.

Check your joy privilege, jolly scum. Not all of us were born with the capacity TO FEEL ANYTHING

>>3191234
Get your epeen out of here, faggot. This is a public forum.

>>3191232
Because this is /lit/, and we're all angry drunk judgmental assholes who hate each other. If we weren't having bitter arguments over the smallest possible things, this wouldn't be /lit/. Just imagine it as one extremely long-running, extremely intense drunken argument at a bar.

It's interesting because there's definitely times when I'm posting other places and I kind of think when I'm writing a message, "/lit/ would really tear me a new asshole over this." But it's good, because that usually signifies that I've not thought through my opinion sufficiently.

>>3191239
Or your opponent is an obstinate contrarian bent on winning a fucking argument on the internet.

>>3191239
>we're all angry drunk judgmental assholes
Speak for yourself bro. I find people here to be quite friendly and helpful most of the time.

>>3191235

All kinds of privilege going on itt.

You do realize, of course, that you're damaging subcultural narratives of identity via subjugation of the femme through a patriarchal lens?

Seriously:

you middle class, white trash, cisgendered, heteronormative joy-enabling ableists need to check your shit or have your shit checked for you. Capiche, fucko?

>>3191250

I know you're trolling, but I hate you anyway for reminding me that there are people who are actually like this.

>>3191221
We can be friends if you like.

>>3191256

I know, I'm a feminist and I find the 'privilege' tumblr-feminazi culture hilarious/depressing

>>3191250
What the fuck did you just say to me, you filthy casual? Not fucking capisce, troglodyte.Your epistemological imperatives lack any form of intersubjecto-socialistic import. Perhaps next time apply the truth standard modalization complex to your portcullis analogy and interstring fatalistic arbitration set modifications with your deontic subfinite calculus.

Try injecting the particle derivation as a subjunction next time during your parse and then we'll talk.

It's sad that I can tell, even through your 'satire', how little you read.

>not judging the quality of others' posts on the internet

I'm a sick, lonely fuck and all my friends are anonymous. What do you expect from such a person?

self-censoring on the internet.... that's cute
