Living like a King in Western Australia because we acted early. Have only ever worn a mask for like 3 days. Have had businesses open for a year. Have been living like COVID never happened. Meanwhile, Americans seethe and cry and screech and scream. You WISH you had quarantined early like us. You could be living good. Instead, you're crying and coping. YOU did this to yourselves. You have yourselves to blame.

Sade, Bataille, Mishima, Catullus

Nothing.

Let's get a few things straight
>literature will not get you laid
>literature will not help you with mental illness or any of your personal problems
>you will never become fluent in another language so just read the translation
>there is no literature about the random off-topic topic you want to make a thread about
>starting with the Greeks is a bad idea for brainlets who have only experienced vidya and anime for the last ten or so years of their lives, it is better for these people to start with the 20th century and work their way backwards in time
>women and people of color have made valuable contributions to literature throughout the ages

You're not using it correctly. You don't seem to understand what has actually happened and you're fighting against a strawman which you have created yourself.

By your logic, everyone's sperm/eggs should be fertilized and grown in test tubes to ensure that everyone gets equal DNA distribution,which also means humanity will eventually merge into a single racial phenotype. If "a womb is literally a biological factory," then there is no need to guarantee sexual pleasure to anyone be they male, female, or tranny.

The Notebooks of Samuel Butler

I heard about that one on Encyclopedia Dramatica. They deleted the article, though. Seemed right up their alley, too.
