I'm fucking done with all this cynical posturing and blasé cancer.

What are the essential works to embrace New Sincerity?

New Sincerity is posturing too.

the problem with asking for NC suggestions is that it's not really a clearly defined genre, at all. IJ and tao lin have both been classified as NC at some point, but they're entirely different.

what do you want, son

>> No.6606054

>>6606018
New Sincerity doesn't exist yet. (IJ is not, i repeat not new sincerity)

there's plenty of Old Sincerity if you're interested - whatever you can find in a list of 'classic literature' pretty much

i really think you just long to get a free pass to indulgine in immature stupid shit. not all striving for intellectual fulfillment or for rigor is posturing.

you're done with cynical posturing? whose? ours? are you taking on the fight against us? is it really sincere to ask for what you're asking for if you're assuming that this isn't the place to ask for it?

All the same shit with different phrasing. At least you're finally being fucking true to yourself and admitting you like dumb shit anyway.

>implying Nietzsche didn't just hate Christianity because he hated socialism
>implying Milbank wasn't right

Nietzsche was a genius who developed profound ideas, but also an edgy shit who wanted to shit on leftism and so involved a bunch of romantic imagery and invoked Jews as engineering Christianity to bring down Rome because he knew that Germans hated Jews and it would popularize his viewpoint. Then he whined when actual Jews became the target

My favorite Old Sincerity author is Jonathan Swift.
