2.2m views in a week. It got boosted by the algo which is very surprising, or more accurately surprising that it slipped by the human far left censors.

I'm sure the whiny envious failures of /lit would find a thousand faults with it. Meanwhile he single-handedly has done more for the profile of a Bad White Man Book than every single humanities PhD in the entire country combined.

What's your favorite quote from BM?

BM is a book loved by many redditors. why wouldn't it get boosted?

what's funny is that you think it's a Bad White Man Book. you are not older than 18.

"War is God." I also enjoy the entire first 3 pages. I can recite them from memory.

Who even thinks Blood Meridian even "the most evil things put to paper"? Even the most faggy critics I've heard talk about the book, like Harold Bloom, seem to think it's not entirely evil since it's about choosing goodness against the Judge.
I guess these kinds of videos need to have hyperbole to keep the dumb masses interested. I might even start making these types of "videos" just explaining the fucking plot to retards. Like a sort of easier-to-digest Sparknotes.

You are either disingenuous or a complete retard if you think BM would be promoted or picked up by ANY publisher in 2023. Cormac is a Bad White Man because he (accurately) depicts the savagery and stone-age IQ's of Indians and Mexicans. "b-b-b-but he blasts the violence of whites just as much!" Yeah, you won't get called a Nazi on social media if you say all races can be stupid and evil and violent.

"Hey fellow kids, 30 years ago a Jew praised this book therefore it will be treated even-handedly today." How can you be on 4chan and not realize that simply saying a book should be read when said book contains the word "nigger" would get you banned from any leftist space?? When it describes races other than whites also committing atrocities?

They're a bunch of leftists and liberals. You said that the video "slipped by the human far left censors." Why does that matter? Leftists also like the book.
>You are either disingenuous or a complete retard if you think BM would be promoted or picked up by ANY publisher in 2023.
Why are you even entertaining that hypothetical? Just to be a victim by proxy?
>Yeah, you won't get called a Nazi on social media if you say all races can be stupid and evil and violent.
He (accurately) depicts the bloodthirstiness of whites as well. He has a black character kill a white character because some silly thing about their names. Lots of other shit. What's really your issue here? Because you sound like a complete schizo /pol/tard.

I got to study Ezra Pound in my thesis, and no one really gave a shit. Half the faculty were feminist lesbians, and the other were either liberals or self-avowed Marxists. No one gives a shit, as long as you actually put in the work and argue for something. Blood Meridian has never been banned in my country.
Who cares if it says "nigger"? We had to read McCarthy for second year American Literature class and no one even brought up the fact he was white.

Why are you trying to paint McCarthy as if he’s a based racist right winger? The guy has racist characters because he writes about the old South but in Blood Meridian itself there is a scene where a black guy cuts a white guys head off in dramatic fashion for being racist. If you saw that in a film you’d cry “oh they’re attacking whites and trying to propagandise how blacks are more manly dominant and superior” but when you read it in a book you don’t care or don’t notice.
