where is feminine penis and chink HBD waifu

literally nothing on the planet is /lit/ approved. you faggots are too stuck-up and pretentious to agree about anything, let alone something non-literature related. the second I post this some cunt is going to complain about my improper use of the word 'literally' and tell me to off myself. have any of you noticed yet that every time there's a critique thread there's always that one fag who passes off some obscure quote from an obscure author as their own specifically to bait replies and tell people that they're such plebs for not knowing about the coolest writer on the planet? keep memin', folks.

>>8096157
Whoever made this is fucking great, so many unironic hacks that I can't help but think he's serious about buckley and bloom, triggering me for putting them in the same cohort as zoe quinn or that hot assadist

Hey I know what was /lit/ approved

>>8096187
>this is a serious post
Pseud spotted.

You've got a long way to go kid.

I've always been eager to expand myself beyond my profession (researching mathematics), so not all of these are /lit/ related. But since nobody is posting YT channels they enjoy, I figured I'd try and get the ball rolling.

>>8096278
Oh, I forgot to add Dan Gelbart's channel. He hasn't posted a video in over a year, but he made a really interesting series about creating prototypes.

>>8096283
Sir, there's no need to be hurtful.

Have any channels you enjoy?

Fair enough.

To add to this thread: I like the youtube poops videos

>>8096157
I don't understand why Putin is on there. He is a global leader, not a intellectual rhetorician.

>>8096327
Same reason why Ethan Klein, George Carlin and Sam Hyde are on there. It's a meme and a myth.

>>8096079

>>8096415
anon you're way too quiet and uncomfortable on camera

>>8096415
Hey man, I really hate to say this, but that video definitely could have been done better. I enjoy your speaking and approach, but please come with a plan of attack in what you're going to say so that I don't have to sit through a bunch of silences and "uhh" repeatedly.

>>8096443
I did have a plan of attack. I suppose you are used to videos with jumpcuts creating unnaturally short transitions. I am too ignorant for that, maybe too lazy. I accept the criticism.

>>8096428
i accept this too

Still, I rec some good books despite my flaws

>literally nothing on the planet is /lit/ approved. you faggots are too stuck-up and pretentious to agree about anything

The majority of /lit/ has pretty entry taste and you move past them in time. You'd already know this if you actually cared about reading and put serious work into it. But no, they are all stuck-up and pretentious gatekeepers and you are right about everything.

>>8096457
>But no, they are all stuck-up and pretentious gatekeepers and you are right about everything.
both of these statements are true

>>8096460

They only seem like gatekeepers to people who put little to no work into their own reading habits and choose ressentiment against the "pretentious" kids to cope with it; you can blaze past most of them with ease.

Be a self-assuring chump if you want. Or you can subjugate your ego and put real work in. Your call.

>>8096086
even if, does that change his literacy?
I dont respect Nazi-Germanys research ethics, but you know. It gave us rockets, jets, one wingers, and other really unnecessary things.

>>8096157

Dropping in to remind that this is a preposterous image. Bill Mahr, Harold Bloom, Vladimir Putin, Anita Sarkesian, Christopher Hitchens, and Anthony Fantano all have virtually nothing in common other than that they are white people who have been on film. To call Harold Bloom a 'pseudo-intellectual rhetorician' is ignorant; to call Bill Mahr one is an unhelpful platitude; to call Vladimir Putin one is simply nonsensical.

>>8096157
>Bloom
>Chomsky
>Buckley

Come on now.

>>8096466
please, keep responding Anon. your refutations make me so wet. mmm, how is he gonna destroy me in an argument this time? the sexual anticipation is too much. please roast my ass to hell, preferably with a reaction image.

>>8096480

All I have done here is simply suggest that you take an earnest interest in this instead of projecting ressentiment onto others and the barb of this truth has twisted you so badly it's nervously thrown you into complete memekid damage control.

Like I give a fuck if you stay clueless, lol.

Go get 'em, killer.

>>8096157
Hey, don't shit on Fantano. He has a smooth, silky voice.

>>8096491
you got me anon. thank you for the good roasting and thanks for the suggestions too. i'll be work hard and stay on the right path.

>>8096510

You're the one posting on a literature board finding snarky reasons as to why you don't want to improve your reading habits.

Not my fault you're an overcompensating cornball.

>>8096122
Not even /lit/ is /lit/-approved.

AHAHAHA

>>8096157
brian cox is literally an astro physicist, I'm pretty sure. I'm sure many of these other "pseudo intellectual" scientists you have on there are too. and that's pretty funny, that you clump richard dawkins and christopher hitchens, as if these people are the same as rush limbah, the owner of vice magazine, and paul joseph watson. the person who put this together probably believes in god or something, all religious people deserve to be sent to concentration camps, but that's just my opinion.

>>8096455
Surprisingly good. His channel expanded to become Wisecrack, which has some weird stuff on it but generally decent content.

>>8096157

Gavin isn't pseudo-intellectual at all; in an image filled with people unfairly considered pseudo-intellectual, he is probably the least pretentious person

>>8096086
>>8097729
Those are the plebbest possible choices for alt-right stuff

>>8096086
Sargon is a classical liberal though, and he denounces racism and other forms of collectivist statist totalitarianism.

>>8097807
Why do people keep using the "classical liberalism" meme as if it doesn't just mean "free market capitalism", which is decidedly right-wing at this point in history

>>8097837
Classical liberalism is not right wing.

All I know is that Milo is among the most toxic people in pop internet culture right now. Sargon just seems sort of dumb.

>>8097889
Everything here should be shifted to the right

>>8096888
>Lawrence Krauss
>"intellectual"

turns out you can get a PhD in physics and still be a moron

>>8097889
"classical liberalism" is a made-up term by hayek, who's ideologically far right. Adam Smith was basically the Karl Marx of his day.

He could be the only person on that image, and it would be just as good. Everyone older than 16 who likes him should be lined up and shot.

>>8097926
I wonder how recent Nobel Prize in Physics winners feel about philosophy

>>8096157
I think PewdiePie should be added to this picture LOL

>>8097938
AFAIK most are respectful, it's mostly the popularizer attention whores who dismiss it.

>>8097955
I'll bet most of them just don't care about philosophy, actually.

>>8097965
Pretty much, but they aren't dismissive fuckwads about it either. In general you'll find a correlation between respect of philosophy and success as a scientist (Dawkins is most respectful and is the only successful scientist of the bunch)

>>8097984
Who are you to decide how "successful" they are? Are you a physicist? I'm sure Lawrence Krauss has at least made tangible contributions to his field.

>>8097996
Considering Einstein and Heisenberg literally changed paradigms and revolutionized science, I'd say they're more important than Krauss who has made minimal contributions. And pulling "le it's all relative!" is a copout, we don't need Socratism to determine who's contributions are more significant. Pedantry won't allow you to dismiss fact ;-)

>>8096933
Putin is a dank hyperreal entity, with based patrician svengalis handling the strings. He's at once a gangsta rapper, a left-antimperialist, the last defender of Christian tradition and the rightful tsar of Russia. One day he drops redpills on 'white genocide' and the next he calls out America's theft of Mexican Land. Trump and Kevin Trudeau's PR teams definitely took some lessons from post-soviet Russia .

I'm just tired of the entire social justice conversation in general. All the clickbait SJW trigger-baiting faggots like Milo need to be rounded up and sent to Venus. /pol/ is killing this fucking board because of Milo and Ben Shapiro telling all these permavirgins what they want to hear about how terrible women are.

this what the NEETS on lit actually think work is.

>>8098225

>>8098225

>not work
This is what plebs who read books for 13 year-olds actually think literature is

>>8098225
>the social justice conversation is caused by people who voice disagreement, not the people who start the conversation in the first place
This is your brain on progressivism

>>8098225
American Politics are pure spectacle/mass therapy, only goal is catharsis. This goes for alt-righters as well as College activists and BLM types

>>8098245
His cystic acne scars balanced it all out, though.

>>8098254
Or maybe the Twitter celebrities are doing nothing more for their "cause" than making YouTube shekels off of the idiots who view their content just to be told what they already believe? Ever consider that, faggot?

>>8098246
Absolutely, he's probably one of the worst offenders, I would argue.
>SJWs are annoying, DAE feel like they're kind dumb?
Great channel, huh?

>>8098258
Agreed completely. The current social justice trend is beyond repair and doing nothing more than making things worse for either side. I'm moreso annoyed with alt-rightists because they're completely running rampant and are prone cross posting across any given board here, it's ridiculous . SJWs can easily be ignored, at least under my circumstances.

>>8098254
work has an outcome, it has a definite product, at least useful work does.

Work contributes to society, in some meager way or another. Accountants do work, doctors do work. what the fuck does jacking off to your favourite Julius Evola novel contribute to besides killing time waiting for chicken tendies to cool?

>>8098263
Read my post again; you clearly did not understand it.

>>8098272
Milo really triggered you, huh? We're the future, boy. We're here to stay.

>>8098272
>SJWs can easily be ignored
>But not the ppl i'm complaining about

>>8098225
>>8098237
>>8098246
>>8098251
Further proof that people who bitch about /pol/ are worse than /pol/ itself

>>8098254
Yeah I hate it when the FUCKING normies think they can get away with reading for "fun". My mom buys me tendies for din din every night and makes sure to also get me a cool book from the library, she used to read them to me but then I told her that I'm a literary scholar and I can read on my own, thank you very much. It's such a hard job reading five pages of my favorite meme books every day, much harder than all these bullshit normie jobs like carpentry and waste disposal. But I get paid in literary experience and smartness, which is a lot more valuable than money. I'm a virgin by choice because sex is dangerous and Tolstoy told me once that it's bad for you. Anyone who disagrees with me has never read a book in their entire life and isn't as much as a patrician as me. I bet they don't even pray to the meme god before bed. I do. It's work, just like reading.

>>8096079
Sargon is insufferable, and anyone that describes themselves on their channel description as "rational" and "objective" I would assume is a massive twat.

>>8098289
not reading this

>>8098294
Good, because reading is hard work and should only be reserved for the most patrician books.

>>8098293
This.

>>8098282
Maybe you should reread mine. I'm insinuating that your alt-right icons are doing nothing more than capitalizing on the stupidity of teenagers on the internet, and not actually doing anything in the favor of whatever political end they aspire for. Milo "BTFOing libcucks" on twitter does the same amount of fucking nothing that SJWs making petitions for video game characters to be transgendered does. You're watching idiots argue over the Internet.

I never go to /pol/ or watch any of the "alt-right" people videos and I probalby make the most racist/sexist posts on this board

>>8098278
>work contributes to society
You really don't know what the definition of work is? Why are you posting here? No you brainwashed child, work is any expense of effort toward a higher goal, and reading as done by intelligent people involves an expense of effort toward analysis. Whether or not somebody makes money off it is irrelevant.

Also
>Julius Evola novels
At least read the writer's Wikipedia page before putting your illiteracy on full display like that.

Caring about hte quality of /lit/ is substantially more sad and pathetic than taking Sargon or whoever seriously

>>8098286
>>8098283
>DAE hate how easily offended SJWs are? xD
>WOOOOOW this anon is making fun of le based Milo!!!!!!! Let's get him!!!!!

>>8098285
Pretty fucking hard to ignore /pol/acks since they crosspost off-topic threads on pretty much every single fucking board nowadays.

>>8096157
all correct except chomsky and bloom

>>8097729
I hate the rebel but Brian Lilly isn't bad at all

>>8098300
I don't watch "alt-right icons," you mongoloid. I'm simply commenting on your moronic reasoning skills which blame the popularity of social justice conversations on people who disagree with their conclusions rather than those who openly take every opportunity to begin discussions about their perceived persecutions.

Nowhere have I voiced any disagreement with your claims about pandering to teenagers for money. Again, please reread my post because you clearly did not understand it.

>>8098327
hes saying that the alt-right e-celebs are giving the sjws the attention they're looking for dude. not all that fucking hard to understand

>>8098316
Says the guy who gets really uptight over someone posting a single Donald Trump thread

>>8098316
Then your just being bias with your sample. I'm talking in general, not just 4chan.
pretty obvious that 4chan will have more /pol/lacks than sjws.

>>8098336
Most of them already get attention, or else nobody would be criticizing them.

>>8098336
Nope, he never said that outside of your imagination. How do I know? Because you're unable to provide a single direct quote of his which mentions attention in any way.

Who's next?

>>8098307
>no you brainwashed child
did you actually say this?

wow u are embarrassing to even the most aspie kids on here.

>work is any expense of effort toward a higher goal
>higher goal
wow ur pree deluded if you think reading meme lit, then running to your mexican hentai forum to shitpost about it is a "higher goal".

What have you accomplished? in the past year? in your life? You know neitszche's thoughts on repression seem to apply to you.

also work on your grammar, for an aspie you sure are dumb.

>>8096453
If you did have a plan of attack it either wasn't very good or wasn't executed on very well. I do not watch videos with jump cuts, your video was still poorly delivered. Don't hide from that criticism by humblebragging about being too "ignorant" to use jump cuts. Just work on your speaking my nigga.

>>8098340
They're pretty fucking easy to ignore, faggot. Don't follow them on Twitter, don't follow them on tumblr, dont subscribe to their YT channels, don't watch videos about them. SJWs are just as easy to ignore as they are to find.

/pol/acks, on the other hand, can't keep their fucking mouths shut no matter what board theyre on. It's nonstop. 4chan used to be fun before GamerGate and all that nonsense, but now it's almost nothing but incessant Trumpposting and SJW paranoia.

You should try 4chan's literature board, AKA >>, Anonymous.

>>

If you care about the politics of 4chan then you're definitely autistic

I'm happy that /pol/ has not really embraced Crowder. I don't think he knows what is happening on the internet and why the alt-right movement exploded. He's just a younger and more energetic conservative talk show host.

>>8098406
Well the answer will depend on where you draw the line for left. I think as far as the people posting goes /mu/ is generally left, but if you want left wing memeing I don't think you'll find it on this site.

>>8098406
Depends what you mean by 'left" you probably mean "extremely left", as far as I know those types of forums tend to be the extremely moderated ones.

Rebel Absurdity is the quintessential c/lit/

I know you're reading this, fucker

>>8098385
So you have to ignore movies, media and your friends because they have "agendas" but books are perfectly pure and apolitical?

Yeah, I think you should head back to /pol/. You're not fooling anyone.

>>8096157
Dismissing all of these people as trash in an image with no explanation at all says so much about you. The irony being that you're no better than the worst person in the image.

>>8098517
Your confusing personal agenda with modern agenda
Movies, media, and friends area all about things in the current era.
Books tend to be more dated. Unless your the type to read more contemporary things I don't think books apply.
