Is Cioran big in Romania? Or France

>>17194808
Cioran hated Romania (same as Brancusi) and Romania hates Cioran. (myself included)
We would at least respect him if he killed himself at any point.

Understandable, I read his excepts of his writing and it reads like a Emo teenager that never got a hug growing up

One of my closest friends is a Romanian

I will summarize his personality for you

>Fuck gypsies bro I wish we fucking genocided them
>Bro I'm not an alcoholic I just day trade better when drunk
>I hope some more raccoons get caught in my traps I need something to shoot
>*kicks his 120lb pitbull with steel toe boots as hard as he can*
>I love robbing my place of work
>Vlad the impaler is a national hero
>Fuck communism bro but to be honest, they deal with faggots better than America does all of our problems could be solved with a leader that had bigger balls bro fuckin kill em all bro
>Fuck no I don't do cardio bro are you crazy

>post-1939 cioran
>"a bloo bloo bloo life is suffering ;_;"
>pre-1939 hitler-worshipping nationalist cioran
>"When I see marching Hitler youths on the streets of Berlin, dressed in uniform, with their bayonets and flags, with an aspect at once solemn and aggressive, as though the war might start tomorrow, when I see these youths regimented since the age of five and completely integrated in a political party - I cannot stop a shiver of revulsion and disgust, as I think of the gap between this and the Romanian youth, abandoned to sterile spasms, broken and despised"

the romanian mentality is an overarching bitterness at being the forgotten romance language, resentment of the west for being grouped with the slavic nations, and a simultaneous obsession with proving themselves as contemporary in the eyes of western europeans without realizing that this neurosis makes you seem overwhelmingly provincial and eastern in the west

>>17194554
this is my first time posting anything related to Romanian literature, I was just curious about the possible existence of a bigger school of thought that could've brought up these philosophers.

one of the best romanians from the last century

>>17195114
>Cioran hated Romania
Source? I thought he even had an episode of being a nationalist, iron guard and shit

>>17195205
You've just summarized all of the easterners. We are based.

>>17198009
Yeah this is a bit trippy, literally half the people I know are exactly like this and the other half are very similar.

>Is there a definable Romanian mentality
The Philosophy of Failure.

They like sacrificing pigs in the street in rural areas.

Nice take, sure peaked my interest into Romanian culture
Kinda seems like they share a lot with us
t. Alberto Barbosa

>>17197997
He had a love-and-hate relationship. And he gave up fascism after Hitler and Mussolini ended up as they did. He became disillusioned with politics in general and just wrote books about pessimism and antinatalism. He was a poet disguised as a philosopher.

Heard a couple of nurses speaking in Portuguese language once - truly the most sublime sounds I've ever heard. Be proud anon. Portugal is a beautiful country.

>>17195114
>Romania hates Cioran
Does it?

>>17194548
Sper ca nu ati invadat si aici conationalilor ca va bag muie

>>17195184
But Borat was only Romanian in real life, not in movie!

>>17198082
Maybe you missed all the shitposts about that Romanian university professor, or whatever he was, who was paranoid that everyone who ever existed plagiarized his work. Or that other Romanian faggot with his meme /pol/ book. Cioran threads are classic /lit/ by comparison.

He's so dreamy! Oh Mr. Cartarescu, please tell us more inane stories from your days living under Communism!

>>17194548
It probably involves a vague sense of omnidirectional seething, but im not sure apart from that.

>>17197188
The romanians were the shepherds of the Romans

Where to start with Cioran? Do you need to know anything before him or is he more standalone guy, for people who are not familiar with philosophy

>>17199434
You can probably read him on his own. Being familiar with the history of philosophy, especially aphoristic writers like Schopenhauer and Nietzsche helps, but Cioran was mostly the "secretary of his own feelings" as he described it, rather than some commentator. You can probably start with "On the Heights of Despair" I think.

Just a word of warning, if you plan on reading a lot of him be prepared for a lot of repetition. He was witty and often funny, but there's only so much one can write about being depressed.

>>17199552
Thank you.

holy fuck, muh dick

>>17198083
Who could be knowing of this "Borat"? This sounds of the name for Kazakhstani boy prostitutes. Ionut is proud name not to be associated.
