/lit/ - Literature

>>8927661
Go back to r eddit

Don't be an idiot and don't even reply.

Don't even sagepost.

Also ignore trolls.

nigga if you're not going to make a thread about books, go read a fucking book instead of killing threads about books. how stupid are you?

people spamming how awful /pol/ is are just as bad as /pol/ shitposters. If you don't want to be part of a /pol/ thread, don't post in it. Simple

>>8927678
But that's what OP is already doing, he's just encouraging/reminding others to do the same.

>>8927661
/pol/ isn't a NEET board, it's a normie board. Since /r/the_donald was created, /pol/ has been over half redditors.

To get back on to the board's topic--how do you feel about Lovecraft? I love his work. Pic related is my favorite book of all time.

Daily reminder that /lit/ is not your soft mushy liberal safe space

fuck off to /r/socialism if you get triggered by other people's opinions

>>8927684
Being bitter 24/7 is a sure sign of people having too much time on their hands. If you have a job, no way in hell you will spend your free time posting on /pol/, I don't believe that.

2/10, >>>/soc/ you lonely anonkun

>>8927661
what threads are you talking about famalam?

>>8927690
How about we don't talk about any part of the political spectrum here, neither liberalism or conservatism. You can't keep one and get mad at the other for posting.

>>8927693
>he thinks /pol/ is more bitter than /lit/
did we accidentally ERP into liking us after reading kierkegaard again?

They're easily discernable, usually about politics, or trying to incite hate in a non-civilized way, "redpill" etc.

>>8927696
Yeah, I can't see any nazi threads? Examples OP?

>>8927706
I've been on 4chan far longer than you, thank you. Take your teenager "I have rights too!" edginess elsewhere.

>>8927698
m8 that's a lot of books to ban. the problem is the people who want to get rid of those books have read as many books on the topic as the trolls, and are just as smug.

>>8927719
The problem is the edgy /pol/ people who are looking to reinforce their shitty "red pilled" ideas by reading books that reinforce their current ideas. So they can "intellectually" debate with other people, it's the most pathetic place in life one can be.

>>8927661
I think you need to take the red pill my friend. You'll feel a lot better

OP is right, but sadly there is no remedy for ignorance.

>>8927737
Red pill is a spook, you'll understand when you grow up.

>believing the jews control everything
>believing the white race is being methodically genocided
Honestly it seems like a really depressing, paranoid worldview. Why would it make anyone feel better? Or do you just want company for your misery?

>>8927719
You don't have to ban discussion about the books, but you also don't have to make so many threads asking what (partisan) literature should I read or spamming the board with Marx or Rand threads. One or two will suffice.

Lastly, make the discussion about the books themselves and the philosophical ideologies of the books not the people who vote for a certain system as lesser.

We can all do without nearly so much "Hurr durr ur a libcuck sjw" or "fuck off Drumpfster" because it's shitposting without argumentative merit and nothing gets accomplished, which is really the end goal of politics, to accomplish the successful implementation and transition of power by a set of held and true ideals.

>>8927751
That pic is exactly it, lol'd hard

XD

/lit/ was a right-wing board before it was redditised

>>8927764
You can be right-wing and still hate /pol/.

>>8927764
>>8927769 nailed it. /lit/ may have been libertarian, but it was never natsoc, and national socialists should return to their safe space at >>>/pol/

>>8927764
I'm a registered republican and I can't stand /pol/ or Trump.

>>8927753
sweetie, i don't know who you're lecturing but you might want to watch your (yes, you) second person pronouns. rec threads without a specific rec you're unable to find from googling or the sticky charts is supposed to be frowned upon; don't do it for other books either you numpty (yes, you). of course we can always do without less shitposting but that is not equivalent to discussing neither side of the political spectrum, which if you read anything or knew what a roman a clef was, you would be able to see the problem with the proposition i'm argued against. instead you're recommending that we limit the shit that's against the rules but only for the posters who read a genre you don't like. take a holiday in chernobyl for the sake of everybody, you're as much the problem as what you hate.

>buzzwords
/lit/ is a board of intellectuals, be they leftwing or rightwing. It's full of intelligent people skilled at rational debate.

/pol/, by contrast, is a board of uneducated redditors and stormkiddies who think "cuck", "SJW", and "shill" are arguments.

>>8927802
REEEEEE

REPORT DEM DEY ARE TALKIGN ABOUT BOOKS I DONT LIKE

>>8927792
I think you entirely misread my post.

>>8927806
oh good if you were where i am now you should be able to discuss carlyle's use of the first person and its pros and cons for historiography. do you feel bad because you went all "thucycides could do it because he was there"?

>>8927737
Daily reminder

>>8927814
When immigrants enter your country, why do you cry about your "safe space"? :-)

Let me guess, it's because it poisons the very essence of that country. If you don't want immigrants in your country, then we don't want /pol/igrants in /lit. Simple as that. See how much of a hypocrite you are, manchild?

>>8927792
take your meds

>>8927814
>>8927829
this is a literature board
you faggots discuss garbage

might aswell discuss harry potter

>>8927833
Not the person you are replying to, but I feel bad because you actually believe that your pseudo-intellectualism makes you superior to anyone when your words are so hollow.

>>8927831
you have low standards. it's not that i misread it, it's that you over appreciated its worth and submitted it. complaining about rec threads where you can't give an informed answer when rec threads are supposed to be a last resort when you have exhausted all other resources is baffling stupidity.

>>8927863
You've been on 4chan for far too long today, you reflect it with your cringy usage of language. I hope you don't talk like that IRL, I would stomp your face.

>>8927847
>he didn't get the joke
>he assumed it was insult time
so do you get this mad every time someone mentions books you haven't read? i'm scared to see what happens when i mention lucian and herodotus controversies

>>8927871
Did my use of language get in the way of you understand how you need to read the sticky w/r/t[1] recs of all kinds?

>we are intellectuals. All posts must be of the utmost quality. Shitposts, or "jokes" as you plebians call them, shall not be tolerated
I think reddit is more appropriate

>>8927698

Plenty of insightful books written about politics. How about everybody stops crying and starts discussing? We all love literature that's why we are here.

>>8927779

I dunno, I kind of like it here. See that's the thing, we don't need a safe space. Much more fun to trample yours.

/leftypol/ has some of the most garbage memes. It's sad really, they're like /pol/'s retarded younger brother

>>8927661
>Those NEETs are leaking into this board, please keep an eye out and recognize a thread before responding in it.
>/lit/ isn't NEET
>recognize a thread
jfc you even made a png mspaint image. are you genuinely in high school and on a student council OP? wtf is this shit thread for?

How long will the pol invasion last? I'll just take a break from /lit/ till it's over.

No their memes are just dumb. They're basically shitty imitations of /pol/ except they arent funny

>>8928017
>can't criticise their ideology

>>8927993
As long as it takes to establish /pol/ supremacy on /lit/ again.

Pic related: daily reminder to /pol/'s position.
Don't waste our time, we got grown-up things to do.

We aren't leaving until we've retaken /lit/

>Literally top tier genius as their average IQ
Wow seems legit

Such areas include: Wealth distribution
uh huh

>>8928035
So what if i frequent /lit/, /sci/, and /mlp/?

>>8928027
>>8928037
So basically you just want us to frogpost instead of talking about philosophy and literature

>>8928052
Wealth redistribution is used by both the right and left and not everyone left leaning believes in socialism, and not everyone who believes in socialism believes in communism.

>>8927661

/lit/ has always been far right and traditionalist

zizek, sam harris and other lefties are only mentioned here so we can all laugh at them.

not really desu

pic related is inside a real, far-left wing safe space.

these """people""" believe there are over 31 genders.

Excuse me, not all NEETs are poltards. Please do not slander our kind unfairly

>>8928106
>Wealth redistribution is used by both the right and left
Neither conservatives, nor national socialists, nor libertarians believe in wealth redistribution. Perhaps you refer to Strasserists, but they are rare. The left and right would be almost the same if they both preferred equal wealth for everyone.

>>8928286
smug centrists were my favourite meme of 2016

>>8927965
This acts like stormfront fags didnt do the exact same shit with /pol/
These boards ultimately aren't about a website cult identity, theyre about discussion
I'd argue with almost anyone on here if they had good points and wasnt just bait, edgy and annoying

>>8928279
This would make more sense if the left opinion wasn't held to the same strawman as the center opinion
If you're really gonna make fun of the center, which is a fair thing to make fun off, it can't be this biased

>>8927932
>>105610586
He's right you know

Hiro should just delete /pol/ already, pretty much the rest of the sight hates them.

There was a big pol happening, so I think all the degenerates returned to the containment area to masturbate to it.

>>8929393
I can multitask, nigger.

>>8929405
Read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing", "Black Boy", and "To Kill a Mockingbird". They are related to the happening.

>>8929409
I can't.. I'm black

>>8927661

I'm a NEET but /lit/ is one of the only boards I go on besides /tv/, /k/, and /out/. Sometimes I go to /his/ for the extremely rare decent historical thread.

>>8927965
why was our board chosen for some shitty culture war that nobody in the real world cares about? We used to talk about books here. Now literally half the threads are "anti-minority literature. if you don't like it, back to rebbit libcuck!" and "expel the nazis". Why the fuck us?
