I read quite a lot of Japanese literature. If you're implying I should read books by modern women or blacks, I'd ask you to point to a few with any substance beyond ham-fistedly complaining about how hard it is to be a woman/black and I'd be happy to check them out.

Well, that's technically true. For me, you are not well read if you haven't read Jorge Luis Borges (which even though is white would be catalogued as "hispanic").

The obvious answer is that a lot of these woke POC college females feel basically powerless to change black culture, especially because most of them found success by more or less explicitly emulating white people. It's much easier to complain about how people are reading too little by black authors than actually addressing the things which limit the average quality of life of blacks in America in a direct way (note: direct means something that can be tangibly quantified and addressed rather than shouting about 'systemic racism' as if they have a solid grasp of what they are really talking about).

This is relevant to /lit/ because politics (especially leftist political thought) has effectively completely taken over the literature departments at most universities to the point where it is very rare to find an English professor that isn't primarily a political advocate. The few that exist are basically constantly living in fear of the majority that do use their job in explicitly political ways and more or less just let those with louder voices shout over them. There is no non-political literature analysis in 2019 unfortunately (or ever really to be honest).

It does not even matter whether he is or not. What matters is the clashing perspectives. IDpol is a maelstrom about to reach fever pitch.

[Anonymous No.14104146]

Taleb thinks most of this idpol stuff comes from "nordicists", so he's about as clueless as the rest of the idiots.
