There's not going to be anything readable for a long time. Why is this generation so shit that we only have the works of leftovers from previous ones to look forward to?

Don't worry, eventually things will get violent and scary again and wake up all us sleepyheads and then there'll be art and passion and all that again. We're just sort of in a lull right now. It happens. A good war will fix things up.

lol this generation is so fucked. It's 80% brainlets who majored in humanities because they couldn't do stem but still want to say they went to college, 15% oversensitive saps who read for "the social message," 5% neurotics who consider literature as some all important sacred cow and want to be among the "prophets" tennyson and melville etc

The dominant mode of thought is conducive to the creation of bland "art" that is mediocre at best, and those that oppose it lack the skills to create art of any kind.

>In an oral biography titled Salinger, authors David Shields and Shane Salerno assert that the author had left specific instructions authorizing a timetable, to start between 2015 and 2020, for the release of several unpublished works. According to the authors and their sources, these include five new Glass-family stories; a novel based on Salinger's relationship with his first wife, Sylvia; a novella in the form of a World War II counterintelligence officer’s diary; a "manual" of stories about Vedanta; and other new or retooled stories that illuminate the life of Holden Caulfield.

a large number of what would now be called reactionaries are Jews who protected, as best they could, the Western canon and traditions with all their might and powers. This is why the RW needs to take inventory and figure out what it actually knows about the global techno-financial system instead of meme'ing nazism in 2018 like parrots. Jews play a large role in the degradation of the West and yet many of them, and many of their best specimens go out of their way to be as faithful to the values of the west as possible and promote them to whoever will listen. I think you should consider whether or not you have holes in your epistemology anon. Agreed that its extremely depressing Semites and Asians (and racist Spics) will have to protect the Western corpus from the hordes of unremarkables

Speak for yourself. I happen to be writing what will quite possible be the greatest movie (as opposed to 'film') of all time.
