Opinions on The Decline of the West and Man and Technics?
I agree with Spengler on all accounts. Is it even possible to refute the idea that the West is on its death bed?
lebensphilosophie is fascist!

Did you read the abridged or unabridged version of the Decline?

Embarrassing review of the book. It's not because your Marxist friends don't read books they criticize that he shouldn't.
So who is the Mike Stoklasa of booktubers?
I don't know, but I'm also interested. He's definitely not the like Stoklasa, but I enjoy the bookchemist
>>9086549
Go forth and become the Stoklasa of Booktubers, Anon.

You mean unironically and unapologetically enjoys genre fiction as his main genre but understands when a real piece of art is good but probably won't like it anyways because it bored him? Also a side hobby would be reading fucking terrible books cause it's "so bad it's good".
I don't think /lit/ would like him since they mostly shun genre fiction.
What to read after Debord? Any worthy successors or contemporary writers? Closest I can think of is Agamben or Baudrillard, maybe Virilio.
Tried Vaneigem?

A little bit, but was unimpressed. Seems like a worse Deleuze/Guattari.
I am creating a new hard-right nationalist literary magazine as part of my studies at Columbia University. It is my ambition to turn this into (at least) a quarterly journal, and I am reaching out far and wide to find quality pieces and invite anyone interested to submit.
The overall aesthetic is Romantic realism, anti-post modernism, and not without a sense of humor. You can sum up our motto with a line from President Trump’s first inaugural address: “Through loyalty to country, we will rediscover loyalty to each other.”
We accept writing from all over the world that pertains or is relevant to nationalist movements everywhere – we are named for the Japanese nationalist martyr Oyota Yamaguchi.
What I’m interested is:
- Creative nonfiction
- Fiction
- Poetry
- Reviews of books/film/etc.
- Interviews
- Visual art (photography, painting, etc.) that can be reproduced on a printed page.
We accept unsolicited submissions and we pay for everything we accept. It’s not much, but many markets don’t pay anything and, for now, it’s all coming out of my pocket.
One thing I’d like to make a regular feature, tongue-in-cheek, is to have a gallery each month of “Rare Pepes” that will only ever appear in the pages of our print edition, making them genuinely rare.
The website is otoya dot org and you can send submissions to submissions at otoya dot org.
I’ll be around at later to answer any questions that may arise.
Okay, do you take writings on anti-transhumanism and the impact of it? Do you have issues with the citation of post-modern writers often associated with what we know as modern progressivism?

Sounds like a fascinating topic. Send it in, would love to see it.

Seriously though how old is she?
This was a goddam good book.Too bad i read most of it anticipating a horrible rape that fortunately never happened. (What's up with this meme anyway?)
So what are your' are thoughts on it? Anything else i should check from Salinger?
So, did he rape Phoebe or not? What do you think, anon?
How did you not catch that?

Read it last summer. Very comfy. I love Holden's worldview.

What is Philip K Dick's best book, and why is it UBIK?It's also his comfiest.
A Scanner Darkly.
It's so well-written. I like the movie and even that isn't half as good as the book.
Flow My Tears is a close second.
A Scanner Darkly is great, and second the movie is actually alright.
I read Ubik recently and I think it was my least favourite PKD I've read. It was still great though.
Definitely all about The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch though. The book is a cosmic mind-fuck, really dark, and the perky-pat can-d chew-z are a testament to PKD's fantastic imagination. Creepy book. My personal favourite.
>>9086402
I agree. Of Dick's books that I've read, Palmer Eldritch is my favorite though Scanner Darkly and UBIK are not far behind.

What does /lit/ think of Emily Dickinson?
I hated her in high school and I haven't read her since so I don't know if she sucks or if I was an idiot.
I'd put my dick in her son if you catch my drift.
An incestual pedophile
Anyone have a philosophical issue that theyve ever had an obsession with? You know what i mean, that ONE problem that you spent weeks or even months wrestling with, and if it wasn't a crisis it was something that never really left your thoughts for weeks on end.
I know mine was Solipsism. As a teenager, it destroyed me, knowing that nothing can be known for sure. Even after i decided to swear off philosophy, whenever it popped up id immediately equate it with this one idea instead of its totality. Shit still scares me sometimes.
Oh and also if youve ever gotten out of it, how did you? Usually, i just tired myself out so badly that i stopped caring, and went back to a normal life.
The only way solipsism can bother you is if you believe in dualism.

A compilation of Hölderlin's poetry and a collection of German poetry, both bilingual.
I can understand German relatively well, but my vocabulary is still small.
