/lit/ - Literature

made sense until
>supports black lives matter

>>15703502
that's when the image became based

>>15703487
I’ve browsed /lit/ for years and have literally never once been to /his/, but I can tell you that based on that picture we’re closer to what /his/ is supposed to be than what it says we are

>>15703487
Why would any reader of the canon support black lives matter. They encourage and worship illiteracy

both are a little true, obviously. stop thinking about the world as black and white, anon. a little nuance would go a long way.

>caring about things
pee pee poo poo

>>15703546
Stirner was an adult 12 year old who inspired nietzsche, that other grown-ass 12 year old.

>>15703572
Many misunderstand him

>>15703530
The ideal /lit/ user is closer to the attributes on the left, the ideal /his/ user is closer to the attributes on the right

>>15703662
Ok but what’s /lit/ about BLM?

>>15703531
y'all ain't fit to mow the interracial breeding grounds topiaries, fuggin Dr. Yakub hit the dimmer switch on some light bulbs ITT

>>15703605
You haven't even read him and as a woman your interest in philosophy only goes as far as "why can't it be simple?"

>supports black lives matter

>>15703605
poopoo peepee fard

>>15703605
Including yourself?

>>15703536
This
>>15703530
Also this

>>15703487
>supports black lives matter
I don't, I don't live in a black country therefore I don't care.

>>>8936170
/his/ is making fun of us again

>>15703662
>The ideal /lit/ user is closer to the attributes on the left, the ideal /his/ user is closer to the attributes on the right
Stop this fucking retarded dichotomy.
The right is the status quo, the left is against it. It's as simple as that.

Fascists are left wing
Communists are left wing
Liberals are right wing
Conservatives are right wing

Any questions?

>>15703701
He was pretty straight forward. Feminister and other anons recommended him and Nietzsche and I read them. Loved them.

>>15703727
I seem to get him better than a lot of people. He’s not advocating sociopathic tendencies. He doesn’t want people to start stealing things from everyone else. He tried to start a business with a guy. People described him as a friendly and courteous person.
The evil grin Stirner caricature does the man a disservice

>>15704012
>The right is the status quo, the left is against it. It's as simple as that.

That's because you read cringe Kaufmann's The Portable Nietzsche.

Any leftists and especially feminist types who like Nietzsche are nothing but LARPers, at least one can proceed rather coherently from Nietzsche to something like Fascism even if he doesn't fit into any ideology.

What's your favourite work of his, other than antichrist.

>>15703502
yep. BLM is midwit tier

>>15704073
>cringe Kaufmann
Should I not read his translations?

>>15703487
Why is everything on the /lit/ side so massively retarded?

>>15704083
He's great

>>15703662
If you mean the left side of the OP's chart, that's ridiculous.

>>15703487
It's gay and so are you

>>15703487
fucking based

>sincerely believes in the dark ages
Because they did happen, technology reversed so badly that the archaeological remains of royal courts would leave a lesser archaeological footprint than agricultural settlements of twenty people in the same region from Roman times. Saying that the cause of the dark age is Christianity is wrong though
>Reformation improved literacy and education
It literally did, regardless of religious affiliation it's really hard to deny that literacy rose greatly and the sciences began to be studied more critically though this wasn't entirely, or even mostly, the result of the reformation
On both the USA/USSR and MENA boxes, both views expressed are very wrong and if somebody expresses either on /his/, they get shit flung at them

>>15704012
>fascism is against the status quo

no because fuck catholicism

>/his/
>atheist
Confirmed never visiting that board, good job OP, you fucking cocksucking faggot.

>black life matter

What the fuck

>>15703502

>>15704183
If you can explain to me how it is i'll cut off my penis and crosspost it on /b/

>>15703487
Based af. Every point there is provably correct minus the metaphysical implications of Catholicism (which are correct but we obviously can't have a complete understanding of them, and they aren't provable in the sense the others are)

>>15704394
*and assuming supporting BLM means the mattering of black lives, not the organization

>>15704376
It isn't. I was making fun of the retard who said it is.

>>15704416
No dumbass, learn to read.
How is fascism the status quo?

>>15704420
>fascism is against the status quo
>haha you said fascism is against the status quo, what a retarded thing to say
>tell me how it is then
>I don't think it is, you're retarded for saying it
>actually learn to read I refered to how is fascism the status quo
kek

Anyways the burden of proof is on you buddy, you're not getting off this one so easily. You made your claim: fascism is against the status quo, now defend it, prove it.

>>15703487
this is degeneracy.

>>15704444
You're not worth the effort
But I guess that means you won, good job!

>>15703487
This is literally something Ignatius Reilly would make if he were a zoomer.

/his/ is unreadable. It's reddit. The opinions expressed and topics discussed are indistinguishable from reddit.

>>15703502
>real time filtering

>catholicism
Stopped reading there.

>>15703487
is what accurate?
i aint reading that shit FUCK YOU

>>15704882
well then you are on the wrong board

>>15704860
BLM is a soviet psyop

>>15705404
No he isn't

>>15703487
Absolutely based.

THIS IS A DISCORD SERVER MENTAL GAMES BRAINWASHING PROPOGANDA

There is an active effort going on to transform /lit/ into a tranny board by coordinating propaganda posts. That is why there are so many pro-nigger cringe posts trying to fit in by saying shit like "haha catholics are so cool haha, black lives matter also" ever since ameriturd blm shit.

>>15703502
Play more chess

>>15704444
>en read him and as a woman your interest in philosophy only goes as far as "why can't it be simple?"
Not him, but it is likely a misunderstanding regarding what the status quo even means. If you look at it in terms of power and economics, fascism becomes the last ditch effort of the status quo to save itself, by concentrating its power into an autocratic government. This does require a scapegoat as to seem like they actually are against the status quo. He probably does not recognize this and believes that if all major corporations would stop supporting progressive ideals, it would be the same as the status quo changing, even though the power is still in the hand of business owners and the government that supports said business owners.

>/his/
>atheist

>>15703487
me on the right

>>15703487
>Catholicism is founded on reason and objectivity
Can you even get any more intellectually dishonest?
Don't have to base your beliefs off of "reason and objectivity" alone and that is not and has never been Christianity's appeal, Dostoevsky understood this, nothing wrong with rejecting reason for the sake of faith

>muh intelligence number is 178, validating my views

the state of lit, I thought the influence of Taleb had got us passed this

>>15703662
maybe for the first half of the picture AT THE MOST

>>15705502
You're still wrong, read a fucling book.

>>15703487
/His/ sounds more based and they are more correct about history since they are the history board after all. /Lit/ is too busy studying irrelevant philosophers and incels like Aquina. Reminder Europe started to become a powerhouse during the Renaissance period which only started with the influx of Greeks fleeing from Constantinople. It was the knowledge held by the Greeks that gave birth to the Muslim golden age as well. In another words, yes. We, Europeans, do have more in common with Greeks/Romans aka Europeans than with a bunch of Jews aka inbred goat herders

>>15706493
holy cringe
you have to go back

cucktholicism stands for literally 2 things: fucking kids and washing nigger feet. these are the only 2 traditions of western society that have survived the test of time.

>>15706493
>>15706517
reddit fedorafags got mad go back /his/ and talk about muh greeks muh freedemz muh sexual liberation

>>15706550
muh freedemz and muh sexual liberation are a consequence of xtianity. islam is the only thing that can save the west but frankly the west isn't worth saving at this point

>>15706517
Sound like secular atheism.

>>15706517
Holy FUCK butterfly you CAN be based when you want to.

>>15706575
it's a fake trip.

>>15703487
mostly agree. use to browse his, but the amount and depth of egregious pseudentry far exceeds the still admitted psuedentry of /lit/. here people at least pretend to read primary sources. in /his/ it is mostly people quoting neat “factorinos” they heard from a youtubed.

i’m not saying lit is super high brow, but it is still leagues better than the intellectual mire of most of /his/

>>15705492
Lol, this

>>15703487
desu /lit/ is a better history board than /his/.

this doesn’t make it amazing, but it’s miles better than /his/.

>>15706378
Silly boy, you know communists don’t read.

I am an atheist but I will agree that most of the religious people here (not the ones just larping because they think it supports their political ideas) are well educated and can give you a great discussion. I don't see why theres such animosity to religious people on boards like /his/

>>15706378
>>15706620
Read Lenin you fascist retards, alternatively please kys, you're worse than cancer

>>15703487
other than the tradcath and political nonsense that's been wedged in there for no reason, maybe.

>>15706504
>>15706550
Uh nonono incels getting mad because they can't handle facts.

>>15706637

/lit/ stepping up its game with those fresh character archetypes

>>15704360
Lol Dick Pierce.

to show that being black is an inferior thing to be? thats not how we make progress.

>>15708492
That would be if his name was Richard

>>15703530
Uh I checked on /his/ a few months ago and I know people like to meme about it being "/pol/ with dates" but it really is just /pol/ with dates now

shame because it was a great board when it first started

>>15703487
/his/ is my home board. I know this is a troll post but fuck it I've got some time on my hands, I'll respond honestly whether or not these are true for /his/ posters.
>atheism
/his/ seems to be split pretty evenly three ways between Orthodox/Catholic LARPs, legitimate religious people and quiet irreligious people.
>Hitchens and friends
You'd be laughed out of a thread if you mention any of them.
>dark ages
Absolute lie, /his/ hates that myth too.
>French Revolution
That's pretty evenly divided too, but that board doesn't think about the French Revolution much considering how much of an impact it had on history.
>Mother Teresa
Almost never discussed
>Soviets vs Nazis
This just devolves into a /pol/ vs /leftypol/ argument on there. There is a lot more /pol/ presence than /leftypol/, but there are a lot of neutral observers (myself included) who argue against the /pol/tards
>Islam
Most people think ISIS and Al-Qaeda were caused by US intervention, but /his/ hates Islam regardless.
>BLM
I mass report threads about current events so I wouldn't know.
>IQ
Your average /lit/ post is more intelligent than the average /his/ post.

Yes, atheists, you are really the enlightened ones in this world.

>>15709068
I'm an atheist and I couldn't care less about religion. I have religious friends. I've gone with them into spiritual retirements at the beach with qt Christian girls, church services, I've prayed with them, etc. What is this strawman you've created in your head?

>>15709129
Yeah sorry I kinda went into a tirade a bit. But I'm basing this off of literally a guy I work with.

>>15703487
/his/ is generally more on-topic than /lit/ is, most of the threads in the catalog are actually about history. However, most of the users are utter retards whose knowledge of history is entirely dependent on pop culture, Wikipedia articles, and other posts on /his/. Barely anyone talks about history books unless they're memes like Guns, Germs, and Steel.
/lit/, on the other hand, hardly ever talks about literature. The vast majority of threads at any given time are either thinly disguised off-topic threads, or incredibly lame philosophy threads populated by the same kind of people as on /his/. However, there are still a lot of well-read people that lurk, and occasionally you can still have interesting discussions.
/his/ and /lit/ are two sides of the same coin, and unless mods and jannies actually start doing their jobs, they're both going to stay shit forever. Personally, I think deleting /his/ and replacing it with a "Humanities - General" board would be for the best. We need to draw a line between book discussion and non-book discussion.
