Thank you. Any other suggestions?

Bump?

Who are the essential political theologists?

>>9978986
Schmitt is the man.
Also
> provides an exhaustive argument that presents nationalist totalitarian governments are the only viable option to maintain the political

Pretty ironic how Rousseau is mostly taught/thought of as a super liberal naive optimist when Schmitt demonstrates that he's basically a proto-fascist.

"You know what they the Bible in France?"
"They don't call it the Bible?"
"They do, but in French it's “La” Bible."

I read a play by Ibsen a while back. It was about Catiline, which was interesting.

I'm thinking of reading the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda soon.

Has anyone read The Kalevala (Finnish epic) or Knausgård's work?

>>9978281
Knausgård is /ourguy/, get to it.

>>9978515

>>9978281
As hard I can try I really can't get into Ibsen.

i once saw a girl giving 1/5 to plato's republic because plato "is a fucking misogynist"

my man plato lived in a time before the invention of women how could he even be misogynist

Why are numales so obsessed with femininity?

>>9977629
Plato actually was remarkable feminist in the sense that he believed women were capable of belonging to the class of gold and capable of becoming philosopher queens.

>>9977662
Because they can't compete with Chad on the basis of sports and social skills and therefore resort to other endeavors in which they believe they can get pussy, in this case becoming an 'ally' of feminists.

this is a review from goodreads on V for Vendetta by a sjw and it pissed me off

Ugh.

So I read this book because people seem to think it is this great political tome and V is this great revolutionary character. I couldn't disagree more:

1. This graphic novel is deeply sexist. The main female character is weak, spineless and insipid, drawn in this awful vaguely tarty style, and used as less an actual character, and more as a plot point. V saves her from being raped and murdered - and I could get into a diatribe here about how much I dislike sexual violence being used for entertainment, but I'll save it for a later point - only to be tortured into seeing things his way and working with him, which brings me to...

2. V is for Vendetta people, not anarchist revolution. The character is driven by rage and a desire for personal revenge, not a free society. Also, the political rantings are vague, shallow, boring, and, um, sort of senseless ranting. Also, getting back to the sexism, the character breaks up with justice because SHE is a WHORE, he seriously says this, and decides to get it on with anarchy. First of all, revolution without justice, hello different totalitarian state. Second, fuck you Alan Moore, really, we're sexualizing the rev now? Never forget ladies, who you fuck is more important than who you are or what you think.

3. Poorly drawn. A lot of the art was hard to follow, which sort of defeats the purpose of the pictures telling a story in a graphic novel.

4. Rape is not entertainment. It's not funny, it's not sexy. There are other ways to establish bad characters and fucked up social structures.

5. Mostly though, I stopped reading it because I got bored. I didn't find any of the characters to be that interesting or well developed and I wasn't terribly interested in the storyline, so I quit.

HOLDEN RAPED PHEOBE

>>9977270
probably..ive always felt that Holden was blocking info

>>9977270
this cover kinda sealed the deal for me regarding that issue

This novel was melodramatic tripe and anyone who thinks otherwise is a maudlin sap

Yea it sucked. Last time I listen to /lit/

>>9976766
holy fuck i am triggered

>>9976259
I like through more. It's more visual.

>>9976263
It is more visual, isn't it?

But at the same time using 'in' has a bounce to it which adds it's own rhythmic aid to the visual.

I'm torn.

Does anyone have a chart on reactionary /lit/?
