is Georges Perec a bloomer or doomer

>> No.12649398

>>12649382
I doubt anyone alive is 100% bloomer or doomer. People have their moments when they can act more doomer or bloomer, or have traits of both. Likewise, I’m certain Perec is similar.

It's trite and boring. "Happy" and "sad" dichotomy is the most basic shit ever, it's what most normalfag media is based around. Clearly dull newfags have overtaken the community who came up with the great esoteric memes of old.

if you only see a dichotomy between happy and sad in that image then i'm afraid the dull one here is you
use that noggin. is the vision of life put forward by rabelais, shakespeare, zhuangzi, and montaigne a naive positivity? happiness simpliciter? or is it more complex than that? ditto for the 'doomers'. is the only commonality between them 'sadness'?
