Atheism is Christianity taken to its logical conclusion. Only a Christian can be an Atheist. Atheism is a Christian heresy, but still Christian.

Shoutting nigger faggots at people is part of 4chan culture, I'm not policing or censoring you. What /leftypol/ posters are complaining about is the fact that we can't talk about fucking literature on the literature board because /pol/ posters come in and shit up the place. I wouldn't be posting in bait threads arguing with fascists if they weren't there. Before 16' elections, threads like that were rare. /pol/ is not an effective containment board because zoomers come in and shit post and ask for
>incel books for this feel but facism how do i own the libtards oh wait let me make a marx thread and pretend to like him to bait peopled!
You'd have a rare marx thread and that would die out. /leftypol/ doesn't come to /lit/ to talk about /leftypol/. It is reactionary to the reactionary.

I finished watching Korra today, and even though I had lots of problems with its ideological takes but it still made me feel something, or maybe it made me stop feeling. That hole you feel after finish a long book or show, the gap. The visceral slap back into reality as escapism fades away and the only reality left is ones of billboards and gas station McDonald’s. The repetition of “is this all there is” reverberates in my mind, as if there is no escape from the monotony of regular life, and there is no validity to the great man theory. Floating in an ocean of false nostalgia for an unreal place at an unreal time with unreal people. Anything to hold on to some bit of meaning or belonging or satisfaction, like trying to hold onto sand passing through my fist. I’m in a daze, disassociated from the disassociation, left only to rot in the mud of my material surroundings.

I don't think that Korra was actually very good thematically, but my being upset at the show made me become very engaged with the series. The continuation of AtlA, a fleshed out world, a variety of characters that have more than paper thin depth, the animation and style. There were some nice things. But I also hated it. I just feel empty. I think it was escapism at its absolute purest. It was so unlike the material world. I think that's what's getting at me.

I'm looking through my book shelves and trying to think of something to read that would fill this void again, and I don't think any of these books will get me off the same way. All the meme books I've bought based on /lit/ charts seem to all be grounded in the real world, and I really just don't like the real world right now.

This is how it feels to lose an argument before it even began
