Did William Burroughs believe in the things he said, for example in the Boy Scout manual, or was it an exercise in literature?

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 6 16:53:53 2017 No.10236662 what about when he murdered his wife for a gag at a party to impress his friends and then let them rape his teenage son

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 7 00:00:47 2017 No.10237903 Burroughs was a drug peddling CIAnigger cultural saboteur of the Ginsberg, Kerouac, Leary variety Nothing of worth to be seen in anything he touched, move along

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 7 00:15:11 2017 No.10237943 >>10236885 Probably because post modernists were mostly just rampant degenerates trying to intellectualize their deviancy ad hoc. Him included

It goes deeper than that. The moral relativism was not just a deflection in defense of their own hedonism, the beat generation writers were marketing fronts for CIA production and sale of narcotics as well as the psyop cultural degradation brought along with their rampant use.

Still, “Naked Lunch” serves a very valuable and reliable purpose. Get to it early enough, somewhere between the Hardy Boys and Holden Caulfield, and the fatigue and tedium will inoculate you against all sorts of intellectual malfeasance. You’ll never swallow the line that obscenity is a hallmark of genius, or that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom (usually it leads to the palace of excess, except when it leads to the hovel of incomprehensibility). Dismiss Burroughs as a pull-my-finger bore and you're ready to dismiss all other sorts of absurd postmodern drivel
