The Bible was the first printed book in the world. It's had the most impact since that publication and many subsequent revisions than all the other books put together.

Most political, social, judicial, and most importantly most LITERARY influence on western society.

This is not even slightly ironic. Intellectuals need to flock to Christianity now, as it is the last bastion against complete societal breakdown and erosion of any sense of realism.

Hey lets pump 8 yr old boys or girls full or hormones because they want to change their gender, oh their parents are 2 lesbians or 2 gay men, what a weird coincidence.

Hey lets allow for rampant immigration to go unchecked through our southern border, but actually physically penetrate people flying in who paid for a ticket and have their passports.

Hey lets force interracial couples in every media stream, because remember segregation and slavery? We're so progressive now it doesn't ever happen. What's that? You're an asian male, you must be brainy, what's that you're a hispanic woman? crazy single mother right! what's that you're old? imagenotfound.jpg

Meanwhile everything you say or do is strictly monitored by your friendly federal organisations with zero congressional oversight and no transparent fund allocation, completely illegal and unconstitutional but trust us ;) we're the good guys.

You are living in a giant fucking social experiment, plastic people being melted down and stuffed into cookie cutter molds. Bland, uninteresting. No wonder so many consume escapism, reality has become a nightmare they can barely spend a day in.

I don't understand why you all sperg out , about reddits or imgurs lists.

I remember a thread on pynchon last year and nobody had anyting of value to say concerning his work, don't get me wrong Gravitys Rainbow is great work, but it seems to me most people read it for intellectual posturing rather than get something meaningful out of it. And lets not even get into Joyce, because I have almost never seen a Ullyses thread in here, and in other thread an anon was dismissing TS Elliot as "cranky elitist old man". So I don't see how /lit/'s elitism is in anyway well founded, just because they picked most books from Blooms western canon.

Also these posts:

>>7489117
>>7489146
>>7489269
>>7489289


Just proves that /lit/ is inhabited more and more with /pol/ tier christcuck contrarians, that really do believe in the right/left paradigm so passionately that this lends their disingenuous commitments to Christianity and conservationism some credit.

Both cases are just culturally empty posturing, with nothing to really back their cases or ideas. One is just mainstream mediocrity, while the other is popular on a Vietnamese basket weaving forum.

The fundamental problem with Reddit, as with any other community that isn't inherently elitist, is that it allows women to participate.

For women to participate, the entire community has to be dumbed down to their level. The bar has to be lowered for their zero-effort approach. Then they systemically infect the whole thing with effeminacy: feelings become more important than facts, disagreements are inherently bad and everything has to end in friendly equivocating, merit is bad and being an ambitionless sponge becomes the community ideal.

4chan's anonymous posting ejects and excludes women because it's fundamentally meritocratic, at base. They can't leverage their social capital, and they sure as fuck aren't competent enough to compete normally for attention, so they either leave or slink into the background. As a result the discourse remains competitive, meritocratic, incisive, etc. People are willing to take risks and tear down what they think is bad.

As the weak inferior gender is banished, feelings are destroyed, and everything becomes great.

Fellow Redditor and part-time imgurian chiming in! Hiya folks!
Oh, I know, I know, it looks like I found myself…deep inside enemy territory, but worry not, friends, for I have nothing but benign intentions. Despite my occasional lurk every now and then on this subchannel, I'd like to declare myself as a complete newbee, which would make me perfect for the role as an ambassador for my home sites. The fruits of time are more than ripe for such a person, as I believe in the greater good both of our communities can achieve. Even if it's just us bookworms on both forums. Especially we are inteligent kind of people, and our passion (gotta LOVE the smell of bookstores) should serve as the base to overcome all prejudices we have against each other. So, /lit/, are we beyond the point of pure hate? Can we work it out together? Could this be a new dawn for e-relations between Reddit and 4chan?
'tis my hearts biggest wish.

Thank you for your attention, fellow 4channers.

If the need for an ambassador ever did arise it would be fulfilled by someone who is not only familiar with both sites but also divides their time equally between them.
Furthermore he/she shouldn't be a fag, which you are.

This is all besides the point though since:
a) There is no need for an ambassador

I doubt more than 50 posters. Think of it. You're browsing reddit and scrolling past thousands of pictures a day, are you going to look up the website or reference every post is based on and stay there for more than a minute or two? No way. Then factor in that the page views of 4chan are way larger than the post count, indicating that there are plenty who just lurk and never post. Then remember that redditors have no incentive to post things on the internet without karma. I doubt there will be more than 20 posters from reddit.

It seems to be a pretty common thought that 'people don't really like the classics', I guess it's due to plebs feeling insecure that they don't read dostoevsky, proust etc.

I remember reading some article about a common facebook thing where you posted your top ten favourite books, and the writer was annoyed that nobody said harry potter or stephen king and shit. literally said something along the lines of 'no, your favourite book is not heart of darkness, and your favourite writer is not hemingway', as if it is impossible to enjoy those things.

I was linked this thread on imgur (I promise, I'm not a redditor), and wanted to give my two cents.

1. You guys seem to be very unhappy
2. It would help your case if you weren't so mean
3. Would it KILL you to not be so racist and sexist in formulating your opinion on the best literature? A lot of people look at your list, you're influencing the next generation!

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion, but it's irrelevant. It's irrelevant in an anonymous board, and it's irrelevant in real life.
How you feel other people should behave will never have an effect on anyone other than yourself - as you grow aware of how petty and irrelevant your opinion of others is, you too will begin to ignore it as we all do. Once you acknowledge your own insignificance and understand how wrong you are about everything, despite believing otherwise, you will start on your path to being a functional human being.
Until then, carry on practicing step one and refrain from sharing your unnecessary opinion. Women and "minorities" will continue to be part of your little precious online and offline world, act accordingly.

this is almost correct. what it (and >>7494602) does not take into account is that the women of reddit are groomed by society into being these dumbed-down, overly emotional plebs—in other words, when we are talking reddit, we are talking normies, those who embody the feminine status quo, and the same applies to the majority of males, who are also are dumb and emotionally driven.

but the majority of men and women do not use 4chan. the women who frequent 4chan are not like the women who frequent reddit, and can shitpost and have intelligent discussions as well as any of the men can.

Reddit isn't liberal at all though. At least its karma system isn't liberal. Between 4chan and Reddit, 4chan is much more liberal when you look at the way each site operates.

Why do you americans always have to drag politics into things?
There is no liberal/conservative binary switch, and american "liberals" are just contrarian conservatives, please stop or proceed to /pol/.

None publicly degenerate homo sex is fine. But gay culture has a lot of demons that need to be addressed.

Race mixing is personal, but it's fucking retarded when people try to push it as "the future ". I'm a race mixer myself, but people don't realize of you try and make " race mixing " a movement you delegitamize mixed relationships. Every race will continue.

Trans shit should be 18+ with a psychological exam before any treatment. Fuck this kids on hormones shit. These poor kids are failing experiments and its such society is allowing it out of pc culture..

>Women participate in /lit/ and on the other boards too. We just don't broadcast it
>we just don't broadcast it

it's amazing that anyone can contradict themselves so quickly and completely. Truly, a magnificent example of female reasoning.

You're an idiot. She's obviously referring to posting in general (and she's right there, I don't see a lot of posts here broadcasting gender), and the broadcasting that she is a woman is needed to lend credence to the point.

I'm not going to diminish myself by saying your post is male reasoning, because it's not, it's idiot reasoning. And incidentally, it proves the second part of her post.

But 10/10 sophistry anyway.
