I suppose this is a bit passe by now, but what did /lit/ thing of this girl's explosion in popularity. It's not hard to sell sex as an attractive, deliberately naive, 20-something, but I honestly though the writing had merit.

Also, whats the over under on this just being Tao Lin in a wig?

People literally described that cover as coquettish, when its just a neutral shot of her face. It's not an unreasonable assumption that sex appeal plays a role in the exposure she gets. (*cough* and 90% of her work revolved around sex)

No one has difficulty pointing out the weaknesses of the communist model of government since the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of it's bankrupt Marxian economic planning, especially the right-wingers among us. But what can be said of fascism? It emerged in more than a few countries during the 20th century as a political movement, then as a form of government, but no lasting fascist state remains with us today? Why are we not so quick to proclaim that fascism stood the test of history, and it too has failed immensely? Did fascism not receive a fair shot? Were the circumstances facing these systems so dissimilar to make this comparison, and if so, why?

What are your thoughts on this? I'm being totally serious.

I would just dispute that we are at all reluctant to describe it as a failure. Perhaps the failings of Socialism gain more traction because those ideas have endured in some form to the modern day, but other than that I don't see any significant failure of fascism which now endures.
>>
>>8339597
Fascism economies were planned too, but to a lesser extent than communist or socialist economies. The government took control of the biggest corporations, but some degree of free enterprise and competition were allowed and encouraged. They were against the ideological aspects of Marxism, but also against many core ideas of liberalism (19th and 20th century English liberalism, not US Democratic party liberalism). They did not dislike competition and private property the way the Marxists do, but they were against what they thought senseless accumulation of capital and profit.

>Were the circumstances facing these systems so dissimilar to make this comparison, and if so, why?

Fascist economies existed solely during wartime, and for war, whereas the Soviet Union lasted around 80 years, and its focus was achieving the Marxist ideals of abolishing private property, profits, and wage labour, etc. Germany focused its production for war, and it halted projects that Hitler endorsed personally (the building of Berlin as capital of the world by Speer) to focus on armament. The fascists lost, their ideas were dismantled; West Germany was capitalistic and East Germany fell under the influence of the Soviets.

My personal take, and what I've read from people with more knowledge than me (I can't remember where, though) is that fascist economies could have survived post-war, but they would have done poorly compared with freer economies. Some say they would have collapsed after a few decades. Marxism failed because of economic reasons, fascism failed because of bad military decisions. In the end, though, fascist economies were more planned than liberal ones but less than communist ones.

Worth the read or is it a meme?

Hi guys. I'm a visitor from /pol/, /fit/ and /out/. I ride my bike around ~26mi each day on average, but it gets boring. I'm looking for recommendations on Audible.

I typically like shit that involves multiverses (Rick and Morty, although it's not a book), that breaks rules on what might consider "good" literature (Mister B Gone heavily uses the second person), and so on.

I'll also read any opinion that I find to be truly "alternative." If I've already heard this shit or seen this angle I don't want to read about it.

Any ideas?

Fresh off the boat, from /pol/, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on /lit/ by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking pol friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't redpill. You don't bluepill. This ain't /pol/, kid. This is /lit/. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to your board, you daily show mocking son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm an author.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

Imagine a life where you have never been great at anything, never felt the urge to be great at anything, never felt that magnetic admiration to someone who was great at something, wanted to imitate and ultimately defeat him. Just nothing. Literally all you do in life is exist. Occupy space. pass the time. You're a chick.

You're bored, as usual, tweeting about your fucking hair and not even feeling any kind of happiness from it, just soothing your constant need to be bitter and cunty and petty toward other women. Every single thing you've done in the past year was mundane, shallow, and boring. You spent the last six hours reading kinda-interesting Reddit stories about people who made interesting Halloween hats for their kids or some stupid bullshit that you think is interesting and you may say is interesting but you're not really sure if it's really interesting. You're just fucking sitting there, gestating, fermenting, with a moist hole between your legs that guarantees you'll at least never have to get up and move around and work to support yourself.

And then you see men, over in some corner, having fun. You've never seen this before. What are they even doing? Instead of their consciousnesses merely sitting in their thick skull and revolving around itself, they are imbuing their conscious energy and intentionality into external objects, crafts, goals, projects. All the bitterness and cuntiness you feel nonstop seems to be absent, as they congratulate each other for being victorious, and happily learn from someone who defeated them. These creatures are truly content to be alive. They have found purpose in a purposeless universe.

And your gaze turns back on itself, on your self, and you realise you've never had that. You can never have it. You're just a stupid cunt.

So you get up, you walk over there, and you fucking ruin everything. Just ruin the whole fucking thing. The five seconds of attention you get will be worth destroying it. Because you're a woman.
