All she did was LARP more than 99% of other writers. You're twisting her non-accomplishments into sounding more impressive than they were: her participation in all of those wars amounted to jack shit of any importance. The only good thing you listed is her killing herself and she should have done it sooner.
By the way, even if she was a communist feminist schizo jew war hero, she's still a communist feminist schizo jew.

>In 1936, despite her professed pacifism, she travelled to the Spanish Civil War to join the Republican faction. She identified as an anarchist,[37] and sought out the anti-fascist commander Julián Gorkin, asking to be sent on a mission as a covert agent, to rescue the prisoner Joaquín Maurín. Gorkin refused, saying she would almost certainly be sacrificing herself for nothing, as it would be most unlikely she could pass as a Spaniard. Weil replied that she had "every right"[38] to sacrifice herself if she chose, but after arguing for more than an hour, she was unable to convince Gorkin to give her the assignment. Instead she joined the anarchist Durruti Column of the French-speaking Sébastien Faure Century, which specialised in high-risk "commando"-style engagements.[39] As she was extremely short-sighted, Weil was a very poor shot, and her comrades tried to avoid taking her on missions, though she did sometimes insist. Her only direct participation in combat was to shoot with her rifle at a bomber during an air raid; in a second raid, she tried to man the group's heavy machine gun, but her comrades prevented her, as they thought it would be best for someone less clumsy and near-sighted to use the weapon. After being with the group for a few weeks, she burnt herself over a cooking fire. She was forced to leave the unit, and was met by her parents who had followed her to Spain. They helped her leave the country, to recuperate in Assisi. About a month after her departure, Weil's unit was nearly wiped out at an engagement in Perdiguera in October 1936, with every woman in the group being killed.[40]

I'm not any of the people in this little spat, but she was absolutely a rich cossetted larping bitch.

When someone from wealth undergoes harsh conditions for a while, it's always LARPing, because they know it's not permanent. The presence of that fall-back safety net makes all the difference.

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all

They can (and should) sympathise, but pretending to "join the ranks" by taking a factory job is just plain LARPing.

[Anonymouṡ No.19907618]

>>19907576
Sympathizing != pretending to be

If you read the account of Weil's time larping as a brave soldier, it's just a Laurel and Hardy sketch. She dropped high explosive and pointed the gun the wrong way and gave away their position and so on. She was not just useless, she was worse than useless — she was a liability to herself and all around her.

Someone who really cared about the struggle would have looked at the situation objectively and said "how can I help these people?" and done that. Florence Nightingale was such a person.

Weil didn't give a damn about the practical effect of her actions. It was all about how following some intellectual code that made her feel good. Her head never came out of the clouds for one instant.

It might be right that no one likes her could ever understand the suffering of the lower classes or people affected by war and strife but to call her a larper is obviously stupid if she really did everything that the post says she did.
Middle class twitter "socialists" who have never worked a day in their lives are larpers.
Zoomer tradcaths who still masterbate to hentai everyday and never go to church are larpers.
Hemmingway may not have needed to serve in ww1 and steinbeck didn't have his life destroyed and family ripped apart by the dustbowl but I would not call them larpers because I think these people genuinely cared and did what they could to help people in their own way.

[Anonymous No.19909085]

>>19902221
gonna be honest, not really a fan of her work outside the illiad and force essay. she takes concepts that have pretty intuitive natural explanations, and distracts from those explanations by roping in theology.

she also suffers from the obsession with "paradox" that chesterton and a lot of the other post-1900 apologists suffer from. instead of just biting the bullet like kierkegaard and leaning into the binary choice between faith and reason, she tries and fails to resolve the internal contradictions of a christian rationalist worldview. which can't be done, since god is supra-rational.

if she were either a philosopher or a theologian, she might have been a good one. but her work sits on the fence, and suffers for it.
