>want to read a funny novel
>everything I find as a "comedic novel" that is critically acclaimed is essentially "bitchy memoir written by gay person whining about their religious upbringing"

Who reads this shit?

Read older, more classic humorous books -- The History of Tom Jones, the Wodehouse novels, Mark Twain.

Gay people should pay more taxes and not be able to vote because essentially they work against the wellbeing of a nation

No you retard, it’s literally the opposite. Gay people contribute to the nation without weighing the country down by shitting out more mouths to feed. See: Gay uncle hypothesis

Not to mention, the contributions gays make are disproportionately large when compared to their prevalence in society.

Probably other gay people who didn't like their religious upbringing would be my guess. Why were you reading the book in the first place?

grab the russians. the more serious a topic the drier and sharper the jokes and irony.

catch 22 is literal middle school jokes repeated ad infinitum + mediocre slapstick.
i dropped it immediately. (it was also in comic sans, which was the funniest part of it all.)

The country and the people are the same thing. Increasing the number of people is literally increasing the country. The more people there are in a society, the more things can be done. Yes, having more people increases complexity and scale, but in a healthy society it increases production more than consumption. But gays don't reproduce. They are the ultimate consumerits--the exact opposite of monastics. Gay people warp society, because their interests are so totally different from the interests of everyone else. They have no skin in the game when it comes to schools, and therefore crime. In most cities, they are the leading cause of hostile gentrification. Property values go up, cost of living goes up, but education declines and crime is not addressed. The simple fact is that few, if any people, are meaningfully altruistic. But in a healthy and natural society, parents consider children to be an extension of themselves. It is therefore parents who are naturally led to consider the consequences current actions might have on future generations. For gays, it is all speculative, and their their theories serve little purpose beyond satisfying their own ego. If the point of society is to have as few mouths to feed as possible, go live in the woods and die alone.

I hate that the modern publishing industry seems to cater exclusively to these people. They never have anything actually interesting to say

What is that, the idea of gays reproducing by getting molested by their gay uncles?

This isn't a comedy but it's a funny book about a European lady going to work in a Japanese firm and being weirded out by the cultural differences in Japanese society and especially Japanese corporate culture.

It's by a woman but it's good, i swear

The continued existence of a Nation is directly tied to its ability to propagate itself into the future. How would this be possible without children

>inb4 immigrants
That's just outsourcing reproduction

A woman at my job worked in Japan for a while. She talked about her coworkers getting groped and even fingered on the train all the time. It's such a common occurrence they have female only train cars at rush hour. It's culturally a third world shithole, but with a high IQ population and billions of dollars of aid from the USA.

Because gay people increase the ability of a nation to continue into the future, not decrease. Not having children allows you to be much more productive, because you don’t have to take care of children. That extra manpower means the nation as a whole can acquire more resources, leading to a more prosperous population. Would it be easier to raise
>two children on your own
>three children but you have a richfag brother that sends you money and babysits every once in a while
It’s pretty obvious.

The idea that everyone MUST breed or else they are a detriment to society is absolutely retarded anyways. Unless you think we should all be farmers, because we need to produce food to live?
