Just pretend to believe in whatever the person(s) you'd like to befriend does

>>9398830
that seems sociopathic

>>9398838
you realise that's what like every normal person does right, if you hate abortion and a friend of yours is very pro choice are you gonna confront them about it? You shouldn't.

Basically this.

>>9398284
Alienation. consumerism, mass media and manipulation.

I suggest you acquaint yourself with easier situationist texts instead of jumping right into SotS. Namely, On the Poverty of Student Life and the first number of the Internationale Situtionniste newspaper.

What are some books that you have to read twice in order to understand it? I've found a lot of Pynchon novels to be like that.

Hello, /lit/.
I recently discovered Conrad and he's seemed to be an interesting writer to me. Yet I've seen some really negative opinions on him here.
Could you explain why?
Especially this book.

Reading it feels like trudging through molasses.
>>
>>9396297
Could you elaborate?
>>
An intriguing build up to a disappointing ending the novel.

This somehow was shocking to people at the time and I have no idea why.

So are there any fantasy authors that are worth reading besides Borges, Calvino, Le Guin, Tolkien and Wolfe?

K. Even then the magic should be able to explain it. Why it happens, or why it was made to happen. There will still be some kind of conversation to it

Anticapitalism is dumb as shit. Capitalism has to be followed to its end to give birth to the next thing.

Real niggers are accelerationist like Marx.

Might as well read Revolt Against The Modern World.
