>you were born too late to experience Belle Époque Europe

>>1655303
Bro, you should read some shit from that time. Sounds boring as fuck. Walking in the park was a fucking social activity subject to the judgments of the townspeople.

Seriously fuck that pretentious shit.

boy...

>it's a "if I can't shitpost and watch anime life isnt worth living" episode

Zweig makes it sound qt, as do most contemporaries if only for the exuberant sense that things were literally always getting better.

>>1655320
So no, you haven't actually read anything from that era? Are you aware just how much the intellectuals of that time hated their era?

The pretentious falseness of it. Start with Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

>you were born too late to be the son of a southern plantation owner who (you the son) spends his time deflowering and soiling his father's property.

>>1655333
Well to be an intellectual you pretty much always have to be a contrarian.

>>1655353
You ask any modern intellectual what age they want to be born into, they would say this one. It wasn't like today where millennials are the ones to say the wrong generation shit.

Everyone walked around in a time where people shat in the streets and acted like their shit didn't stink. It was THE most fake era of our history, and the brains of the times knew it for what it was.

Nice generalizations

>>1655383
Pick up a book.

>>1655359
Hating your time and not wanting to be born in the past are not mutually exclusive.

>I hate the present
>I'm thankful I wasn't born in the past
These two statements don't contradict each other.

You literally think every person from that era hated it? How retarded are you? An entire generation of people like Stefan Zweig mourned the death of pre war Europe.

>>1655411
And? Where did I say they did?

Kek.

>>1655414
Yes, anon, literally every single person. That's what I said.

>>1655418
>You ask any modern intellectual what age they want to be born into, they would say this one.
This doesn't mean they don't hate their time.

Kek.

>>1655422
Kek, where did I say it did?

>>1655426
Well to be an intellectual you pretty much always have to be a contrarian, prove me wrong.

You can't.

>>1655438
Kek. I love how you're shifting the goalposts.

You aware you can stop posting, right?

>>1655312
I agree

Shallow and pedantic

>>1655450
Kek, where did I shift the goalpost?

>>1655454
Well, first you said my two statements didn't contradict each other, now you are asking me to prove intellectuals are contrarian by nature.

Where DIDN'T you shift the goalposts?

Seriously, you can actually stop posting whenever you want.

>>1655303
>Europe
France

>>1655461
I'm asking you to DISPROVE how intellectuals aren't contrarian.

Which you didn't in >>1655359

You should read a book about reading comprehension. And also stop posting.
