Thoughts on this guy and his works?

>> No.18775450

Sadly he became a libcuck in his later works.

The Spy Who Came In From the Cold was one of those books I couldn't put down but had to finish. Tinker Tailor was good too.

Can't stand his politics, but he can definitely write. Good at dialogue, good at little incidental details which really nail a character or a mood. He can make a book interesting even when nothing's going on. Just the *possibility* of something going on (or having gone on) is enough to generate tension.

what an absolute brainlet take. Le Carre didn't deal in absolutes, but went behind the curtain and showed the downright grey nature of the world (neoliberalism) and showed the follies of nationalism and "logical" thinking of bureaucracy. Just because he criticized Trump and Brexit as the charades they were doesn't mean he was a"libcuck"

I don't know much about his late politics but a lot of people who would be described like you just described le Carre failed to perceive the evils and dangers of the neoliberal system and how advanced its rot has become at the heart of the West, so their dislike of Trump and Brexit did implicitly demonstrate their naivete

Chomsky for example disgraced himself by telling people to vote blue no matter who. Pathetic old fucks who think things will permanently stay in the post WW2 liberal consensus, while the soul of the western world is breathing its last. Only a retard could think forestalling the collapse by just one more decade with Clinton/Biden types and Brussels running the show would be better than Trump. At least Trump shook things up.

Only he failed to criticize the 'progressive' poltics that made multi cultural islamic and crime ridden shitholes out of the western world.

He stated he wasn't a fan of Biden, but the lesser evil was the ideal due to the Trump's environmental record, which would as you laid out would speed up collapse. Surprise dude, a lot of people don't want collapse and want at least some effort put in. He still criticized the Dems, so he's still "on brand".

Top lol. Why would you trust liberal institutions to tell you the truth about this, it's just a meme so they can funnel money and pass laws

Stating you're not a fan of a serially corrupt criminal family at the head of the country as a runner up prize for the other serially corrupt criminal family not getting in the WH, but still advocating voting for them because think of the environment, is not exactly radical. There is a major metapolitical shift taking place and these old complacent fags can't see anything that would disturb their 1960s overton window. And that's coming after not doing anything to fix it during the steady decline for 50 years.

Most major American cities are becoming Detroit or pre-Giuliani New York, the country is becoming post-Apartheid South Africa, Chomsky and other well situated rich liberals (Chomsky has offshore trust funds for his kids) have presided over the utter dissolution of the middle class step by step by step, there is nothing left to defend, and then from their sinecures they tell us to vote for the worst most farcical establishment candidate yet, because of some 50% made-up bullshit about climate change. I say 50% because even if you think the climate is changing, and I do, you should also be aware of the leaked internal memos from the newsmedia talking about how their next big mind control push to keep people dialed in and distracted, the next Trump/vaccine/anti-white racism, will be the climate change meme.

Typical Revolt of the Elites shit. Clueless coastal assholes telling people to keep voting for Bernie as he betrays his own party, ignores incipient labor activism and ratifies Neera Tanden's nomination.
