Holy shit why did no one tell me Camus was so based? Smarter and more handsome than every reactionary loser, and he endlessly shits on the bourgeoisie too. What should I read next from him? I'm looking towards The Plague...

>“On Aphrodite’s happy island, I have admiration and affection for this Greek population. Barbarian Europe needs them, to create a new civilization again”.

>In 1956, Camus wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth appealing for mercy for Greek Cypriot Michalakis Karaolis, aged 22, an EOKA freedom fighter, struggling for Cyprus’ independence.

>His letter, for “L’enfant Grec”, questions the supposed moral superiority of the British that doesn’t prevent them from hanging resistance fighters.

>His appeal wasn’t heard. Karaolis was hanged on May 10th, 1956. He is buried in the memorial graveyard, at Nicosia’s Central Prisons.

Exactly, a quick drop of the guillotine is far nobler than being a commodified prisoner for decades in the US corporate prison complex.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EOKA

>The Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston (EOKA; /eJˈoʊkə/; Greek: Εθνική Οργάνωσις Κυπρίων Αγωνιστών, lit.'National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters') was a Greek Cypriot nationalist paramilitary organisation that fought a campaign for the end of British rule in Cyprus, and for eventual union with Greece.[1][a]

why do people like you pretend to believe in concepts like losers and ugliness?
why did you pretend they didnt exist before?

do you believe anything sincerely or are your whole personalities just vehicles for petty revenge?
