[Anonymous No.7021891]

It's written for (and resonates with) exactly the demographic I just lined out. In many ways it tries to show the general unhappiness that's been affecting a traditionally successful and dominating (in terms of social hierarchy) group of people. It's difficult to really spell out in terms that don't make me sound like a raving identitarian, but I'll try my best.

Traditionally in the American university system the WASPs stood as the most privileged, and most successful, for obvious reasons when looked historically (WASPs founding the country). After the university system gradually became more meritocratic (this happened in the 70's and 80's) the WASP children had to compete with a larger pool of candidates using a more specialized pool of credentials. With GPAs and test scores now becoming as relevant as letters of recommendation and alumni interviews, the WASP class find itself in a position where to compete–and even conquer–in the system children are incredibly dehumanized. Think about that stereotype of high-performance students backed by high expectations from parents. This is something that should be gone in depth, but for sake of brevity just take my word that this entails that (all) kids are pushed into a high-stakes-anxiety-filled showdown where the winner gets the best seat at the Universities and a better chance at a future.

So suddenly you have a traditionally dominating demographic that's cracking under the pressure. It's still easier to get in as a WASP, as most WASP kids are higher preforming due to another variety of reasons (personal tutors, etc.). But there's still an incredibly high percentage of Ivy Leaguers with depression, along with a slew of other mental instabilities.

Infinite Jest (or at least the ETA parts) are an investigation into that demand of high performance that's become necessary in the current meritocratic system. It's easily translated into athletic terms, but besides the added anxieties of getting into the Show threats of collegiate failure always loom. Throughout the novel Hal is seen preparing for the SAT, and in the end (beginning) his largest concern after becoming incomprehensible is still getting into college.

There's more to the book than the commentary on this system, but it's the most apparent and is what really grabs a lot of ex-gifted children who end up completely chewed up by the aforementioned system

Zinn doesn't write from the point of view of the disenfranchised, he writes from the point of view of liberals in the American 1980s. The disenfranchised are completely irrelevant to his narrative, because he ignores what they actually thought and tells the reader what they should have thought if they were as clever and compassionate as Howard Zinn.

Since you clearly can't read I am the one saying people can post whatever they want and they don't have to accept all opinions as valid. if you are so desperate to make a thread about your shitty genre book go ahead but don't have an autistic attack when someone calls you a faggot.

whining and passive aggressively posting about someone disagreeing with your opinion is the most autistic thing you can do besides typing up lists of 4chan rules, but you're free to do it. Just like real life you have to accept when people are dismissive of you. You'd know that if you ever went outside.

I said exactly none of that you absolute sperg. I just complained that /lit/ spends most of its time shaming plebs instead of actually discussing valuable lit. Calling someone out for getting off on feeling superior isn't the same as saying superiority doesn't exist. How thick are you?

Reading Divinities. Thinks gay marriage is 'far enough' and opposes abortion past the first trimester. Has "You don't HAVE a soul - you ARE a soul. You HAVE a body" as his signature on numerous BBS boards. Probably donates to an animal welfare charity. Sorry this isn't terribly funny, but I swear to Christ it's on the fucking money.

I'd do Aquinas but the only thing you can say for sure about his devotees is that they've either never read him or have ONLY read him. No saying which is worse.

The thing I can't stand about Rand, or at least her followers who identify themselves as "libertarians" is that Rand herself despised libertarians. (The original and free market ones)
You can find enough interviews where she doesn't want anything to do with libertarians.

Her writing is about as good as Nietzsche, the style at least.
If Friedrich wrote fiction, it would probably be on par with Atlas Shrugged. Nietzsche wouldn't be a good fiction writer.

Evola. Fastidiously clean, but LOOKS like he smells. Outwardly normal, initially, but hearing too many hard 'c's, or words rhyming with 'fuck' will quickly set him off: "Cuck! Cuck! Cuck! Cuckcuckcuckcuck!"

You will think, at first, that it's a coughing fit. As it continues, you'll assume it's Tourette's or similar. But if you remain there for several hours, with nothing from him but "Cuck! Cuck! Cuckcuckcuck! Cuck!" interspersed with the occasional "Niggerfaggot KIKE!", you'll soon see it's genuine insanity. Get close enough, and the metallic scent of fresh blood can be detected on his breath - he is literally destroying his throat in the throes of this passion. Look in his eyes and you can plainly see: There is nobody home. Nobody at all.
