So I stumbled across this video yesterday, https://www.google.com/search?q=on+the+alt+right&oq=on+the+alt+right&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61j69i65j0j69i59j69i64.2726j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Which lead me down a rabbit hole of National Review Online articles, and others from elsewhere, learning about the alt-right. Normally being a patrish I live above such populist spectator sport as national elections. But since memes like cuck have apparently broken mainstream, and fucking /pol/ is a shade away from being mentioned directly in the National Review I thought we should talk cuck here on /lit/.

I mean if there is one thing that pervades the western literary tradition it is cuckolding.

If you wanna be pleb about it and start with the Odyssey then you have Odysseus adrift getting a hard cucking at the hands of the gods via the suitors advancing on his estate.

If you wanna be patrish about it and start with the New Testament then you have Joseph getting a cucking from God Himself---not even God, a dove sent by God to do his cuckolding for him cause he couldn't even be bothered to do it himself.

Then of course, there's Hamlet with his Freudian mind-cuck

There's Jay Gatsby who literally got cucked to death.

That guy from The Sun Also Rises who got cucked by WWI when it shot his penis off or whatever.

And of course the all-star, dearheart cuckold Bloom.


So /lit let's talk cucking in literature. Tell me about the most harrowing cucks you've read, the most redeeming. Authors who got cucked, like Dante getting cucked by Beatrice, and so forth.

I posted a picture of The Edge from U2 here the other day. He's wearing a cowboy hat and a smirk and a shirt that says something like 'Mr. The Edge." It was in a thread about The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead if I remember correctly. Tht image would be pretty much my response to this here, and then the text box would say 'low number/10 I responded.'

How did a containment board generate enough momentum to propel an outsider like Trump to within spitting distance of the Presidency?

Moot has much to answer for.

oh pol's a pretty minor player I think, at least on the surface level

but they basically provided reddit's trump board with their vocabulary and memetic sensibilities

also the SPLC has said that pol's rhetorical style has pretty much been fully emulated by all the lesser white nationalist websites---shit is pretty crazy but also very funny as well I think

My god! Is ''cuck'' not the perfect buzzword that has been thrown into circulation, where in the subjects manipulate each other by exploiting the base sexual fears of being submissive or perceived as such? Perhaps some other groups take advantage of this memetic virus?

Only an actual cuck would get so defensive at hearing the word.

And the weird thing is cuckolding or being a cuckold is often the precursor to the revelation of a heroic dimension to the offendee's personality

at least in a lot of literature---it's hard to dispute that Bloom is the ultimate hero and victor in Ulysses; the book ends with Molly saying "yes yes yes" not to Boylan but to Leopold

Who exactly is this "they" you're referring to. I'm way out of the political loop but from what I've been reading any "they" who matter within the conservative establishment are in deep deep panic.

Example: Hey, I like Pepsi---''You're a Pepsicuck! Take the Coke pill.'' And so on.

When you connect sexual submission and loss of property with anything, you can use it to manipulate the insecurities of another person. Connect their ideology or whatever, to said insecurity and you make them more likely to agree with you. Whether they're aware of it or not. It is no longer an innocent insult, but a manipulative buzzword. The novelty of it is what truly makes it work. Consider the word ''fag'', if the Cokefag called the guy a Pepsifag, it trigger nothing, it is too common of a phrase, and has become a harmless form of categorization. One could say that ''cuck'' is the antithesis of ''fag''.

I understand where you are coming from but please, don't try and make a happening here on /lit/

Anons always want some hype but it is almost always shit. Cuck is not a happening, /pol/ is not important. 4chan has its place in meme culture but it isn't that special

We aren't that special. It is not happening.
