/lit/ - Literature

this seems like a very accurate characterization to me also

sorry, i should qualify that: i mean in my own very narrow bracket of being alive in and having some degree of self-awareness. not in a world-historical sense. and i'm being mildly hyberbolic too, it was just the year in which i kinda-sorta realized that politics was about to get massively more complicated than the philosophy i had read to that point was going to be capable of dealing with, and i did a huge deep-dive into the NRx and conservative/far right stuff.
>and began posting on /lit/ also to cope with the feels

it's still quite fascinating to me also, in many ways, although Land is crustier than ever and i'm saddened that Xenosystems is now a derelict space inhabited by demented werewolves. even social matter hasn't updated itself in a couple of months, i don't know what's going on there. but they did publish one really, really good article recently on Bataille, for anons who are interested in learning more about him:

reading the conservative stuff - Arktos, Manticore Press, w/ev else - really was awesome. Land was just the gateway into a lot of that for me, even if i'm not quite as enthusiastic about it all as i used to be: after all, Trump won, but The World Has Not Yet Been Saved. and also Bannon disappeared from the national conversation also, sad. look at this photo! it's like Tom Clancy IRL.
