I miss him bros

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:15:08 2020 No.15441068 Reading his K-Punk book (big one) right now. A lot of nice essays in there, although I didn't realise just how much of his writing was focused on TV shows and movies.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:28:48 2020 No.15441184 why? he really didn't provide anything useful

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:31:25 2020 No.15441208 >>15441184 Shut up retard

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:34:19 2020 No.15441235 >>15441025 This charlatan killed himself BECAUSE of imposter syndrome. You know this to be true and I hope the rest of you wannabe "culture critics" do the same!

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:37:35 2020 No.15441261 >>15441068 I've seen that for sale in a lot of bookstores. Would someone who is not a Marxist get anything out of it?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 14:42:26 2020 No.15441297 >>15441208 funny how you don't deny it. very telling

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 15:55:41 2020 No.15441765 >>15441261 Yes.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 15:59:28 2020 No.15441796 >>15441025 he was a continental pseud, even worse, a marxist one. good riddance. I hope he suffered a lot.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 16:32:59 2020 No.15442042 >>15441261 Yes, although a lot of the references are UK-specific and relate to pre-90s Britain so I don't really understand them. I prefer his political essays and his essays about his own experience.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 16:34:32 2020 No.15442052 >>15441177 same. it's like he aspires to be an overlooked writer / critic or something due to his unwillingness to shill himself or toe the line. exiting vampire's castle was brutal.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 17:52:55 2020 No.15442726 >>15442052 considering reading that, is it worth it?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 19:21:37 2020 No.15443434 >>15441796 >stembug is incapable of sympathy take it easy

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 19:24:33 2020 No.15443461 didn't seem like a bad guy and some of his essays are okay but his perspective was incredibly limited, ultimately not much more than Benjamin fanfic.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 19:24:40 2020 No.15443464 his writing on the fall and mark e smith is great (and honestly makes the groop seem far more interesting than they really are)

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 19:26:48 2020 No.15443484 >>15443464 do you have a link to these writings?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 19:29:54 2020 No.15443510 >>15443464 What are you talking about, mark was a national treasure

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 20:22:28 2020 No.15443879 >>15441796 the majority of members in the vienna circle were communists/marxists. had they been alive, they'd probably tell you to stfu too >>15441025 I miss him too. gone too early to witness the full vindication of his ideas he deserved :(

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 20:24:35 2020 No.15443895 I really don't think one should read the writings of a man who killed himself, especially since I was once suicidal and I don't want to go explore the mindset of someone who is suicidal in a different way.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 24 20:34:54 2020 No.15443970 >>15443895 but then, anyone you read has a chance of killing themselves, so why risk reading anything at all?
