/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.11407219]

Alright /lit/erati,

old /lit/ has died— to those of us who have browsed the board for years, it has become apparent that the quality of the board has decreased. One can blame this on a number of factors— the introduction of /pol/ to 4xhan in 2011, an increase in the number of younger and less experienced readers into the folds of /lit/ (and 4chan, generally) over the years, the introduction of general threads, the exodus from /lit/ due to the creation of /his/, the influx of genre-fiction related posts, etc…

/litpat/ does not have captcha, you can upload pdfs, its mods actually care about the board, it is old /lit/"

I'm not triggered by right-wing opinions, I just think a board focused on literature (along w philosophy and other forms of art) should not include politics as a large part of its cultural weltanschaung

If this has to be integral, I'd rather the politics be leftypol, so that it is irreverent while maintaining a respect for literature as a discipline

[Anonymous No.11407317]

>>11407263
It’s reddit’s fault for sure. The status of /r/books is now appealing. /r/Literature is run by exceedingly far left SJWs and selectively posts the least interesting articles imaginable. There’s nowhere to go on reddit to have an actual discussion about literature. And the users who have noticed this have been making threads wherein /lit/ comes highly recommended.

What's the difference? The majority of nu-/pol/ came directly from reddit back in '16. Used to be that /pol/ mostly minded it's own business. Now it's all 18 year old ex-plebbiters who didn't go through newfag training on the shittier boards and are killing all the other boards with their /pol/-inspired /b/tier shitposts.

I used to be a member of a literal Marxist political party but then I realized its all anti-life bullshit for retards
I talked about it IRL with people, I worked to get people elected, I read the entire first volume of Capital. I was familiar with tons of Leftwing thinkers from Tariq Ali to Christ Hedges

Suddenly this morning the idea is being pushed in multiple threads that /lit/ is all of a sudden worse off than before. I want to remind you that every time a board lets this attitude fester it rots the board. Identifying the truth of the matter only strengthens the presence of the idea. Of course OP profits, because he's advertising his site. Check rules 8, 10, 11 before you continue to shill here.

[Anonymous No.11407405]

Reddit killed this board. nu/pol/ is merely a symptom of reddit. I'm surprised no one else brought up the fact that /lit/ has been rapidly declining since the inclusion of /sffg/. SFF is literarlly reddit incarnate and apart from a few notable others is almost completely shit. Ban /sffg/ and watch the quality of the board rise once again.

The creation of /his/ also didn't help.

Socialism is anti life. Capitalism on the other hand affirms life, making people spend half their day devoted to working for other people affirms life like nothing else.
Also, the fact that you list two literal who journalists as thinkers of merit makes me think you're not as well versed in leftist theory as you want us to believe you are.

They were the first two that came to the top of my head who weren't obvious memes. I can list whoever you want. Adorno, Althusser, Gramsci. I got the whole block covered.

It negates the origin of all desire and experience which is the self. Its considerations take no origin from authentic experience but instead from abstract technologizing of human life. Its a despicable and insane tradition when properly viewed

[Anonymous No.11407467]

Once again, you only list a bunch of people who are memes in themselves.
Also, to think communism is purely technologizing of human life is to consider literally no marxist at all has ever read and answered to Heidegger. A lot of leftist theory past the second half of the twentieth century is trying to answer exactly that. I suggest Raoul Vaneigem, since Debord doesn't quite touch upoon it.
