1.5 years since his death and woke liberals and leftists have successfully cancelled Shakespeare, Aristotle, Hume, Kipling and even fucking JK Rowling. When will /lit/ repent their sins, acknowledge that he's been vindicated and was absolutely correct about everything?

Oh nooooo! They’re canceled? Now we can’t buy, download, read and discuss them. I guess we better all just continue not reading before but now we have new names for props in our bullshit culture war. Better keep talking about stuff like this instead of just fucking reading good books. Because they’re canceled so we can’t. Fuck!

Left has total hegemony. There is no war,What you are seeing is a genocide.

Give it a generation of two. Doesn't take much to put something in obscurity forever. Out of school, out of media, out of mind.

You're flippant, but you aren't wrong. For too long people have been listlessly watching our culture's destruction. It's time to actively preserve and protect it. Whether that means memorizing the classics or spreading them via the internet, or fostering positive discussion about them or even going full prepper and burying USBs with the Western canon on them around the country, action is needed now.

>So read them and produce your own alternate culture of good shit,

Culture is top down, how do you think it disseminates if not through power? You don't actually buy into propaganda about cream rising to the top or a "marketplace of ideas do you?" Anything remotely unpalatable, let alone threatening, is easily shut down. The right is going to need a very very long march if they hope to be anything more than dogs lusting for breadcrumbs their masters benevolent afford them. The neoliberal world order is remarkably stable and all encompassing, the only achilles heel I can find is dependence on technological society, so when that ship sinks they sink with it. Unfortunately the last man lives the longest so if such a collapse happens naturally their won't be any successors.

Be thankful this regime runs on an algorithm and not competent administrators or things would be getting much faker and gayer at an exponential rate.

/pol/ hysteria is pathological, both has been dead for like half a decade, bringing it up unsolicited is neurotic. Typically the motive is oversocialized pseudery. It is taken for granted that /pol/ caricatures are dumb, going on a tirade against them, especially after espousing something that deviates at all from establishment mantra, shows a lack of confidence that you would not be able to stand out from them otherwise, and a concern with how online peers view you. You shit up countless threads with this insipid posturing.

Neoliberalism is the logical conclusion of the left. It was fake and gay at its very foundations, an entirely incoherent worldview based on unprincipled exemptions and atomization as he thinks in a shared language.

There is no grand conspiracy of leftists infiltrating institutions and destroying the West. It’s all just fucking liberalism. Liberalism has hegemony and it now wants to liberate humanity from the chains of white men or past historical sins that neglected diversity and international utopia. “The Left” is a part of this project, they’re not a separate thing, it’s all connected and has been since at least the 1960s

Right. Which is why he brought it up. The amount of energy spent trying to differentiate The Left from Liberalism or Neoliberalism could’ve built three space elevators.

He was already cancelled by people, Aristotle was extremely racist (and therefore too based for people for decades now)

>Kipling
Yeah, it’s a shame
