/lit/ - Literature

Is anyone in this thread actually successful? Like non-trivially?

But there’s a difference between a bit of debate as sport and getting triggered. Furthermore, it’s not healthy to always be debating. I just get so frustrated.


>>23294205
Too right about channeling energy. Constant discourse is not healthy or normal.

>>23294289
I’m guilty of wanting to be right more than I want to learn fairly often, but I really never feel like there is anything to learn. I really can’t remember the last time I felt like someone could teach me something and I feel like I’m just constantly detecting logical fallacies or sophistry or just some kind of bullshit even from otherwise smart people.

Certain people are only worth autistic replies, like feminists

God I love prostitutes. I'm an ugly sack of shit, but when I'm having a bad day at work I get through it by texting an appointment with a whore. For the rest of the day I can face my boss and my coworkers, knowing that thirty minutes after five I'm going to be laying my balls on some pretty girls chin.

Would I like my wife to be stretched naked on a bed? Uhh yes please

It's quite ironic that the classes who might make use of literature the most and be capable of creating the best literature read and write the least and those who are to the arts and the mind as a desert is to agriculture are those who read and write the most by quantity. Unlike sports, sex, or the sciences, the humanities are the only field where those who are the least naturally suited for the field are the ones engaging with it the deepest and those most suited for it barely have any interest in engaging with it at all. An entire field full of out of shape midgets trying to play basketball.

No, intelligent people are not concerned that somebody who was already President for a term - and who did nothing dictatorial whatsoever, even when the country was being burned down by mobs of his political enemies or when an election was being rigged right under his nose - will suddenly become Adolf Hitler in his second term. It's a retarded concern aired by retarded people who can't think critically.

Closest I have. It will look like bread mold and generally is the common black bread mold. Unlike bread books are generally far too dry to go moldy, just like croutons or crackers which can last a good long while without going moldy despite being much better at absorbing moisture.

Thoughts on Twain?

You need to kick that habit. Comma splices are horrendous and obvious marks of an amateur. They're (almost) never acceptable besides in dialogue and thought.

Start with the Vedas and with animistic cave painting. If you can discover such cave paintings you'll have unique insights that literally no one else has.

>being caused harm by something that isn't evil
A tiger killing and eating to sustain itself. Nature is not, and cannot, be evil.

>>23294370
they arent talking about killing people, they are pointing out the pervasiveness of jewish power and overrepresentation, distinguishing it from whiteness, and criticizing the detrimental ways they use that power. They should be able to do this without being penalized or debanked. people need to be able to challenge power to keep it in check its the foundation of america

I'm so glad that I don't know what this means

>>23294372
Start one, they're the best thing about /lit/ and they actually are a net positive for the community.

>>23294355
I don't like the sound of periods when I read things aloud. So I tend to put in far too many commas.

Maybe it's time for another read along, fellers

>>23294306
Having your main hero surrender to his fate by embracing coomer fantasies is not evil. It's nothing.
I guess the "evil" part is that you want to convince other people that they also need to surrender and get in ze pleasure pods, but honestly they are going to do it anyway, blackpilled or not, so...

>a few nazis got debanked
>vs millions of people displaced, debanked, maybe even killed if their ideas got to power
Sounds like an easy moral calculation to me

>The Federal Reserve's failure to serve as lender of last resort, principally from 1931 to 1933, is the main reason for deposit insurance.
That's taking a lot of blame off other branches of government. No country got out of the Great Depression because of monetary policy in reality. Countries that totally avoided it like Japan all used fiscal policy smartly. And deposit insurance didn't get America out of the depression WWII did

>Deposit insurance seemed a great success until the banking failures of the 1980s once again highlighted the problems of moral hazard and adverse selection that were recognized at the time of passage.
How was any of that caused by deposit insurance? No one making those type of decisions is thinking about if their clients will be taken care of after their ass is cooked. Savings and loan crisis started with the financial liberalization agenda:

Anyways the federal government doesn't insure users of most private businesses like they do with banks but those other corporations and CEOs end up doing even more risky stuff. You could ask why doesn't the federal government insure stablecoins or giftcards in case of failures? If walmart goes bankrupt you're giftcards are useless in the same way as if a bank fails your funds would be gone without insurance... if you want to be "fair" there's an argument there


>the FDIC absorbed part of the losses and encouraged mergers of failing banks into stronger banks
It's more the opposite, without deposits being insured by the government doing business with smaller institutions becomes a lot more risky. Financial institutions would naturally consolidate more since thousands of mom and pop boutique financial institutions would run into runs with the first wobble and people would learn not to trust them
