Politics is a game played by small minded men who lust after power for personal gain, and lie to the world about their motives.

Thankfully, most good books have little or nothing to do with politics.

On the other hand, you can Politicize anything, just as you might roll it in shit.

>and philosophy

this isn't the philosophy board though. literature you might have tangential discussions of politics at best. ie:

>what did communism look like during tolstoy's time? what was his exposure to the ideas and how does he react in his fiction?

not

>people still believe in marxism? lel

you can't sustain the argument anyway, even if this WAS the "literature and philosophy board." lots of things are "inseperable" from literature and philosophy, like for example that human beings write them. but you can't argue "biology is inseparable from literature and philosophy" and then create a purely biological thread here. there's a reason /sci/ exists, and also why /pol/ exists.

>> No.6710964

For me, I'm glad this board is being redpilled.

We need to stand together against the onslaught of feminism, cultural marxism, degeneracy, and liberalism.

We are witnessing the end times; the West is falling under the pressure of Jewish ideology and Islamic fundamentalism.

It's time we purge those elements both from the board and from the social body.

/lit/ became a pioneer in frog theory and quality pepeposting though, which is way more that it seemed capable of considering /lit/ has always been a conservative, anti fun board. Now we have some of the most renowed experts on pepe and people are coming from all over 4chan, even the most remote parts, just to consult us on memelogy. I consider this a net improvement over the stale pseudliterary and pseudophilosophic (when not also /pol/ invaded) discussions we have over here.

It really is a thing. There are some exceptions to it, of course. But, in general, this board tends to sneer at anything that's "entry level," which is a buzz word for something that's well-liked. Just look at how often "pleb" and "patrician" are thrown around, even if some of it is in jest.
