>Further, Disney obviously isn't trying to instil a particular political ideal into its viewers. It's simply a business reacting to market demands. They want to make money. There's nothing propaganda about it.

Mein gott...

He still doesn't realize there is no conflict between indoctrination (instilling particular political ideals/etc) and capitalism.

Tell me, friend, where do these "market demands" come from?

The idea that you don't have any ideology is itself an ideology - the purest form of ideology.

That's true for any serious piece of literature though. To really understand a text you need to read it multiple times

What are you even doing here when you don't know how to read a book?

God and Man at Yale is more relevant than ever in today's PC university/college/campus environment. Buckley saw what was coming decades ago.

Also, Vidal was hardly more honest nor necessarily a better writer. He spent his whole life LARP'ing as Oscar Wilde, only Wilde did it better.

This is coming from someone who thought Buckley was far too verbose and grandiose.

>We are all basically evil, egotistical, disgusting. Take torture, for instance. I am a realist. If I had a daughter and someone kidnapped her, and I found a friend of the kidnapper, I cannot say I wouldn’t torture that guy.

>I’m not a good father. There is something ridiculous in asserting my dignity which I resist automatically. My teenage son identifies with this undermining of my own authority. When he was 14, I was mad at him and used a vulgar expression in Slovenian: “Let the dog fuck your mother.” He replied: “That already happened 15 years ago. That’s how I was born.”

>Writing saved my life. Years ago, because of some private love troubles, I was in a suicidal mood for a couple of weeks. I told myself: “I could kill myself, but I have a text to finish. First I will finish it, then I will kill myself.” Then there was another text, and so on and so on, and here I still am.

OP asks us to write whatever is on our mind, but is this not a revealing insight as to the modern /lit/ poster? *tugs t-shirt* He does not tell us what he himself thinks, but wants to know what everyone else thinks. I claim there is an interesting duality at play here *touches nose*, and it is firstly that OP feels sort of Lacanian insecurity. He is too afraid to tell us what he thinks, yet wants to be validated by the thoughts of everybody else. In short, he wants to take comfort and even satisfaction from the Absolute without giving anythink back. Is this not a sort of rape? See how he frames his thread, it is not a request. My gott, no manners are at play here. He is like Pavlov and we are all his dogs. *shniff* He rings his bell and makes his thread, but there is no food in the bowl, do you see? Here we are all drooling, expecting a sort of intellectual dog food, when in reality we are only giving our saliva. OP's thread is a trashcan, and right now we are all indulging in this ideology that creates nothink and in itself consumes our productive energies we might have put to better use.

>I will tell you wonderful story, simple one.It happened to me a year ago, around the corner
>In the bookstore I was signing a book of mine. Two black guys came ( I don't like the term African Americans, it can be even more racist for obvious reasons) but the point is... so they asked me to sign the book, and I couldn't resist the most racist remark. When I was returning the books for them, I told them, I don't which one is for whom, I told them, you blacks like yellow guys, you all look all the same. They embraced me and they told me "you can call me nigger"
