/lit/ 2023 state of the union

[Anonymous No.22513234]

Holy fuck this board is nothing but garbage!

They took over everything:
>reddit
>instagram
>twitter
>facebook
>higher education
>politics
>institutions
>art
Ever notice there is not one single "cool" person /lit/ can rally around? The closest thing is BAP and everyone knows in 2023 he's a jewish subverter.

WHERE ARE ALL THE DISSENTING WRITERS AND ARTISTS?

I'm such a radical dissenter that I'm dissenting to this post

/lit/ is great. never has been better. but only if you actually read things (the harder and more obscure, the better, as it filters out newfags and trolls who don't know how to pollute it with enticing bait)

Nothing /lit/ produces affects the mainstream at all, this entire place is so neutered, it is ridiculous

Yeah, /lit/ is trash now. It may have never been great but it was at least usable in the past. It seems like no one reads and everything is literature because anons can just throw books about/books for onto OP.

I scrolled through every post here and nobody is talking about anyone who posts here, there are a couple of Gardner threads up, but nobody is talking about the substance of his books. The entire catalog is full of junk. I refuse to believe nobody here has produced interesting chapters. I come here to see the cutting-edge of writing, not the same old noise. This entire place is flooded with bots.

the secret here is that no one reads here anymore, if they ever did read, but they read a lot about books, and so they can larp out the details and pseud it up, and they do this because it's the only kind of writing that doesn't cause them trauma, because when they try to write they keep thinking about cute girl they thought would like them if they pretended to be a writer but she didn't she fucked chad and it's so over

Maybe the best memes are videos now that tech has advanced as far as it has, /lit/ IS dying, but because it is more efficient to transmit ideas through video and sound over the written word?

/lit/ hasn't been that bad the past month. Throughout this year it was usually shit. However you are correct about
>WHERE ARE ALL THE DISSENTING WRITERS AND ARTISTS?

It's been 30 years since the liberal world order declared that history was over, it's been decades since the Internet became the most important aspect of daily life. Almost all information and media from all periods of history can be accessed at our fingertips. So where is all the great art? Where are the intellectuals? I can find a myriad of historical figures from the pre-WW2 era who shaped history with their art and writing. Why have we not produced anything equivalent? We cannot allow art to be reduced to Content, we cannot surrender to the liberal consensus of perpetual consumerist slavery. I understand how hard it is to be genuinely transformative in a fragmented world that already deems itself to be solved, but the clock is ticking. Generations have already been raised on the Internet. The time has come for action.

Capitalism destroyed art. One must remain employed. One must make money. One must defer to the public. One must realize the public is a mass of asses. Literature, specifically, was dealt its fatal wound with the popularization of the screen. The common man read before he could watch something as entertainment. The would be writer today has moved into other fields. There is no money in writing. There is little interest in it. There is no dissident writing today because there is a clear line drawn in the sand between 2 sides. One side will support. The true dissident writer of today would be frowned upon by all; and not because of sensationalist edgelord reasons; he would be so unique that he would stand alone

I have a pet theory about this, anyone who could've had a chance at being a writer like Borges or Kafka is currently being groomed by a furry on Discord who calls himself Yiffypaws. Or wasted his youth lurking/posting in a forum. Or something similar.

Start writing and publishing, follow other writers you like, and comment/message about their work. Maybe you will make writer friends over time. Engage in the discourse. What else do you expect?

Yeah, the board has always been centered around the western canon. Things are a tad different now but this was never a community of solely writers. Anons were here because they liked reading. I’m sure there are havens for writers elsewhere on the internet

it just makes you realize that we live in the most thoroughly indoctrinated society in history. contrary to what doomers say, liberal society is so robust that any dissent towards it is either immediately silenced or reified as an example of liberal freedoms itself thus making it useless. our critiques are just noise, lost in the ocean of billions of people sharing their shitty opinions every day online. democracy annihilates all ambition, greatness, defiance. our paucity of imagination in the 21st century is by design. most people have nothing interesting to say, and most people don't want to listen even if they did.
