capitalism stops people from being fruitful since it involves artificial scarcity

the multiplication wouldn't be a problem if not for that

>>9845459
The third world doesn't seem to have a problem multiplying despite extreme scarcity

>>9847022
it makes sense to do that when "fritfully multipying" is about the only thing you can do.
The first world creates fake bureaucratic walls that prevent people from degenerating into beasts

Stop caring about what others think of you. Everyone is there for the exact same thing as you, so they're not going to look down on you for sharing your thoughts like a normal human.

Simply what do you expect from a women writer? They are so bad at writing compared to the white man

>>9845165
I expect them to be able to tell singular from plural

Explain. Someone on the Right Wing Death Squat recommended it to me, I haven't read it.

>>9845153
That's because you're not reading it for what it is, and instead rate it besides other books which are better. It's a nifty little book and the most succinct summary of postmodern themes I've ever come across (even if it's shallow as a result), besides maybe CoL49

Other Men's Daughters by Richard Stern.

Or, if you want more Nabokov, the Collected Stories.

>>9845175
I think his stories are really hit or miss. Ten of those stories in that big collection are must-reads. Others are good. A lot of them are bad.

Op, grab Pnin. Or if you want to complete the his pedo trilogy, read Laughter in the Dark. It's pretty good for a translation. After one or two more f his books, read Pale Fire. I think it helps to have a grasp of his style before read it, not that it's a difficult book.

Read The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. It's one of his best books (his first in English) short, and for some reason rarely mentioned here.

are you a women?

Most poetry loses substance when translated.
For example, there's like none of the Persian poets who can be understood in any language but Persian.

it's against white culture, women should take care of children instead of destroying virtue through degeneracy

Literary knowledge is knowledge about the world, so yes, obviously.

Pretentious shitty book.

is this the most insecure board?

I literally just did the same thing. I normally would have read the footnotes, but it was an ebook without any hyperlinks and I was too lazy to manually jump back and forth.

I still enjoyed the novel, long and rambling and incoherent as it was. I just wish it had a more satisfying conclusion.

>>9844839
Write it about that one Japanese girl who got kidnapped and tortured for a couple months. There's a website that details everything they did to her. I have a relatively high tolerance for that sort of thing but I didn't even make it through the first paragraph.

Just start another /lit/ google docs project and put your name on it.

>>9844805
You will not post her trash. This place is for rationality and logic, not emotionally charged arguments stemming from a sense of inferiority. She is a subverter of whiteness, a subverter of hiarachy, and a subverter of traditional gender roles.

GET THIS WHORE OUT OF HERE

>>9844805
I don't know much about Butler or her ideas. I've seen her in a documentary though.

>>9844805
I wanna get gender trouble, I looked for it once but I fear I'm toooooooooo psued to dare look upon its pages.
