I just finished my first Houellebecq. Now that the dust has settled, what did I think of it?

Take this /tv/ meme way of starting a thread away with you.

I see where people get "comfy" from Houellebecq and I like his humor but I'm not really impressed otherwise. The political stuff is jarringly far-fetched. For example: don't women vote in France? People proclaim Houellebecq as one of the best living writers, but what am I supposed to get from this book?

You're sadly mistaken if you think that isn't one of the most used and most effective methods of making people reply to your threads on /lit/. Lurk more, it's used often.

How does Wellbeck think this scenario is even close to possible? A Muslim party that runs on reinstating the patriarchy and throwing women widely out of education and school in general? And the socialists are on board?

Its a book, not a prophecy. Also by now we know that its most likely social-liberalism will take root in muslims and we yet again will not have our "barbarian at the gates" scenario that could have woken the european spirit.

What makes you think Muslims are going to warm up to liberalism as it's practiced in the West?

They are already doing that. If anything their woman are going full libs the moment they have a small window of freedom from their parents. Ofc this cannot happen to all the ones there at once, but creeping-liberalism is already there.

I actually don't like them going woke, because them we would never be able to remove them from the continent unlike if they go further into radicalization.

I am from Dearborn and there is little visible Muslim fundamentalism even now with them having colonized to the point of being like 50% of the population. The dude who delivered Amazon to me this morning was blasting the call to prayer from his car at 4 in the morning though. It might be more likely that the coming pro-white movement will radicalize them to be more "Muslim identity" though - and no one knows what is said in the mosques. Most Arabs I knew growing up seemed normal considering them being foreign. Many were separated from the other students in ESL classes though, which would be where most Yemenis were. I was even shamed profusely by one non-hooded Arab girl for making fun of 9/11 one time of that tells you anything about assimilation.

>> No.21487277

>>21487144
we are basically seeing the first few decades of integration. remember italians and jews in the 1900s until 1960. They are all assimilated slowly because western liberalism and democracy is just too enticing - that is why after all the whining - we are also still here and living life

Also another thing about Muslims in Dearborn is that the white people call them Arabs (and A-rabs, and boaters), not Muslim. It seems like Christians invested in "jihad watch" type stuff overestimate the degree to which white people think in religious, rather than racial terms. I am a pagan, but the current U.S culture seems more Satanic than "Yahwehan" from a Christian point of view, so I think this makes people not want to put their Christian identities at the forefront of how they see the world since bearing that in mind would be depressing and make it feel like society is against you as a Christian, which is broadly true but still unpleasant for a normal Christian who isn't going to so anything about it and doesn't understand it to think about. But I also think racial identity is just objectively more important and this becomes more obvious in practice with such stark "diversity". After all, there is no biological difference as to how destructive to white genetic interests Arab immigration is based on if they are Muslim or not, except for in the ways in which Islam relates to things like sex and marriage. Conversion to Christianity would not make an Arab genetically non-foreign or change the invasive significance of his presence or his potential decision to take a white wife (or wives if he wants to break our law, which he really has no reason to overly respect - look at tge border - the U.S is a wide open faggot's asshole.)

Haven't you noticed the relaxation of certain laws in the Muslim world in the past 10 years? Saudis allow women to drive and the Emiratis decriminalized premarital sex and are allowing unmarried couples to live together.

It's more like middle-class urbanite libs warming up to islam as they are being demographically replaced faster than any other class of society.

They can and have built a culture fort but there’s really no problem with that. Fundamentalists in America have been a problem for decades and the evangelicals are just as fucking bad. Even the Christians have to work hard to get their agenda on the table but Republicucks actually pander to them.

That's a far cry from liberalization. Saudis are led by a king that murdered a journalist.

that unironically sounds not entirely unlikely, at least not here in sweden. leftist and liberals are embracing islamism just to "own the conservitards" and the conclusion of that should be obvious to anyone.

Even if they liberalize a little bit they are quite a far shot from being socially liberal in the European/American sense.
