FUCK. Why is everyone in uni an uncultured swine? The highest culture people consume is Kendrick Lamar, Fortnite, and Harry Potter holy shit I cannot meet one person that has an ounce of culture. I fucking wish unis were as Marxist as cuckservatives make them out to be literally no one here reads Marx unis have been hard core infiltrated by neo-liberal capitalist ideology. I just want to be able to talk to someone about Shakespeare, Montaigne, Proust, Pessoa, Musil, Beckett, Bernhard, Perec. Borges, Artaud, Melville, Gaddis, Gass, Calvino, Kawabata, Mishima, Soseki, Whitehead, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Spinoza, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Schuuman, Scriabin, Dvorak, Yudina, Sofronitsky, Feinberg, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Ming-Liang, Ozu, Lopushanskiy, Yang, Kat-Wai, Mizoguchi, Teshigahara. Where do I meet people like this /lit/? This whole world has been overrun by talentless cultureless garbage I cant find one person I can connect with i just want to make one fren.

You already made this thread before faggot. You sound like the typical cunt complaining why nobody wants to talk to you, when clearly the reason no one wants to talk to you because you just listed 30+ some writers that I bet my soul you haven't read. You ever think its not that everyones an uncultured swine; that maybe you push away people because your too pretentious and better than them? There are plenty of well cultured people in uni but cultured people attract cultured people and you just wanna boast about "reading" highly acclaimed writers so you don't really attract the cultured people you attract the uncultured swine infestation that has been dooming this capitalist ever since it was wrung up and began to grow. You. Make. Me. Sick. I've never seen a more pathetic post.

Being less judgemental is important so you will meet people through which you will meet who actually share your hobbies. Try to understand the perspective of other people too, human relationships are largely about making compromises.

dude seriously?

I'm not gonna be as rough as the other guys but plenty of people read good literature and i'm in a shitty community college, they just hide the fact they do because it makes them seem pretentious and usually makes them to be an ass hat. If you are displaying your whole social identity as "I rED BOOKS LUK I M SMART" no one will like you, no one likes that guy. If you were to change your perspective people would talk to you and open up...literature is not a common hobby. And even if you can't find people who enjoy literature how about make a friend and show him the ropes you wouldn't believe how quickly people eat up books when they first discover them.

This. I go to college in the middle of fucking nowhere at a school where ag is big. There's still places to meet people who are into literature for example here we have poetry nights and shit. You can't judge people by a surface level impression.

You have to seek out people with similar interests. If you seriously can't find them then you're at a terrible university and should've tried harder in high school.

I felt the same way in uni and to be honest I still had a long way to go myself in terms of literature. But not a single person enjoyed cool movies or music except one girl that was so awkwardly shy and autistic it took me a year and a half to realIe she liked some cool stuff. Wish there was more time to get get to open up to me more. She might of been a raging sjw though which is the pertinent thing about anyone that watches anything that isn’t marvel or reads anything that isn’t Harry Potter. Any person male or female scraping the surface of anything more interesting is almost always also super progressive and believes in astrology or some other nonsense.

If you want to find marxists just talk to the kids with nose piercings smoking cigarettes. You'll quickly find out they're just as conformist as the normies except they're more pretentious and way worse people.

Nobody reads anymore and of the people that actually do read, the only ones that constantly brag about how much they read are insufferable douchbags. I feel like i only discuss my reading habits with close friends who view it as a quirky hobby.

College, since the end of WWII, has largely been a place to prepare a skilled workforce for specialized labor and/or professions. This has only led to the decline of what could only be typified as 'classical liberal education'-as technology, mass literacy, declining religiosity and increased globalization has essential led to the effective death of the archetypal scholar. Absurd schools of thought have been propped up to keep the illusion and 'viability' of the scholar caste afloat. This is why 'gender and racial studies' are actual things and why formerly respected institutions offer classes on Game of Thrones to undergrads. The University system exists solely to rake in money. It's racket, no matter how many Marxist professors it employs it exists primarily to print shiny pieces of paper for gullible undergrads to pay exorbitant amounts of money so that society can give them attaboy points.
