I thought it was great. It really does highlight the absurdity of life, and how if you don't play the game, you're eventually condemned. I loved it.

I felt the same way you felt OP desu, good to know I wasnt the only one

>>8933485
OP here. I was just kidding. You are alone.

Read the book retard he literally argues against the "School of Resentment" and the politicization of art. Besides, it already has Austen and Woolf

Stop having dyslexia before you start demanding changes in the canon

a lot of people here hate it, but High castle is a cool little spin on his common themes and i definitely recommend it.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Martian Time-Slip
A Maze of Death

T-thanks.

Why not just think for yourself? If that's what you become after years of thinking, then so be it? Why willingly wall yourself in to one mode of thinking and philosophy?

green text everyone else

>>8932699
If you care for that stuff just for "muh intelect" then you're just not cut out for this.

Also

>Übermensch

I don't really know if that's valid, but that made me kek.

try Breivik and Elliot Rodger if you want the real redpill on leftism, women, and minorities.

Your mind will explode with redpills

His short stories were better anyways.

There's no relation. Kaczynski says his revolution is non-political. He cares about the technological apparatuses, not who is in power.

I simply don't think he was as smart as he thought he was. He should have stayed innawoods practicing permaculture.

all I know is that the movie was shitty.

what a bunch of fucking shit

Also, I'm amused that autists kept complaining that this book didn't exactly represent their experience, so the author had to change his mind and say the main character didn't actually have Aspergers.

I only want white friends. And no women

>>8932498
Well, some women are more fun than guys, I like fun. As Epicurus says, there should be no intimate relationship between friends who would live all together.

All races are the same.

>In order to join his group you had to give up all your property and possessions to him
>Drank out of cups with his face on them
>Had daily confession
>Public shaming took place against those who confessed something contrary to what Epicurus likes
Ignoring the fact he was a cult leader, if we only look at his philosophy it can be seen that he is a meme philosopher that all of his contemporaries and all those who followed for centuries knew for a meme. His philosophy has had no impact on anyone asides from those who called themselves Epicurus and he made no contributions to the philosophic dialectic. The only good things he ever taught have to be removed from the totality of his philosophy and then you find that are very similar to the good things from other, much better philosophies.

He only has any popularity today because his ethics is far easier to understand and are already in a great deal of agreement with teenage, nihilist, atheist non-students of philosophy, than other classical ethical systems. Virtue ethics has the problem that you have to make a conceptual leap that can be difficult for many, especially those with no real exposure to philosophy, to do, where deontological systems tend to require a reasonable philosophical background in order to understand the many arguments in favour of it since it seems intuitively suspect.

pic unrelated amirite? :^)

This might not be relevant to the discussion, but:

You should've chosen a pic of some commie like Stalin or Mao to illustrate your point better.

>Not even five sentences in
>Rusted bronze microphone
Bronze doesn't rust.

I added a chapter

it's a dream sequence (or is it??)

>>8934205
I saw that too. Replaced rusted with aged. Felt that worked better than oxidized.

You probably should have suspected something when she asked you what the collective noun for big black cocks was.

It's a nice metaphor

Catcher in the Rye is literally on the same level as The Hunger Games in terms of it's """"symbolism"""".

>>8932285
Can someone please explain this metaphor....
I'm not a native speaker and that part of the book is the only one I couldn't really grasp back when I read it.

>'I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT ISLAM, MULTICULTURALISM, AND IMMIGRATION ON THE LITERATURE BOARD!"

Fuck off

>>>/pol/

>>8931993
In short he writes about the absence of any meaningful principles to live by in modern life. Relationships being reduced to a pure transactional economy leading to the question of the possibility of love. Europe going into a death spiral where the opposing forces of a naive and imbecilic Far Right and Islam are the only political forces with a sense of energy and mission undermining the nihilistic and beurocratized liberal left.

He's accused of being a misogynist and an islamophobe because of the themes he deals with and having a very bitter attitude towards them but I've seen no evidence of the sort. He's practically a Marxist who has simply given up hope on life.

>>8931997
Houellebecq isn't /pol/ at all. If you're going to accuse OP of such motives at least educate him
