When did you realize that the Islamic State is the living realization of the radical Traditionalist revolt against modernity that men like Julius Evola dreamed of?

ISIS is pretty cool once you get down to it. Cyberpunk hackers, neo-situationist rebels taking denouement to extreme new heights, 21st century Rockstars badass tribal warriors and defenders of eternal tradition against modern degeneracy

I feel the same way honestly. At the very least I can't condemn them for resisting globalized modernity in the way that they are

Is there a correlation between homosexuality and creativity/intelligence?

I don't know, but they seem to be a lot more creative than straight people such as myself.

As a gay guy im not really creative in an artsy way, although I read a lot and love philosophy. Most gay men grow up more attached to women than men, and it's possible they pick up women's more creative instincts

Science has already proven that creativity and IQ are both elements of the male sperm: it's a well known fact that the number of dicks sucked has a direct linear relationship with the quality of your work and the success of your life.

Strictly book readers need to quit their bitching and fuck off. It is still the number one show on television. Just be grateful your book series gets a TV deal in the first place, ungrateful faggots.

Freud was a literal sexist, Marx was a literal bourgeoisie. I wonder why American academia say their names like a broke record when their core ideology is neoliberalism.

Practice rhetoric for a few years and then make a career out of publicly defending whatever religion you think will receive you the best. People give guys like that shitloads of money because they're a key part of helping them feel like their beliefs are on even intellectual footing with stuff that's actually taken serious by philosophy departments.

So, I'm an unknown writer (obviously, I'm here) and I was thinking about entering a fiction/poetry contest in a pretty big name journal.

I was about to do it until I started second guessing the entry fee.

I'm not saying I lack confidence in my work, it's just a pretty steep fee for something that's, ultimately, subjective.

Are writing contests a scam?

Traditional publishing is all a scam.

>>8050549

Maybe. I don't have enough of background knowledge to argue otherwise.

>>8050573
It's true. The whole setup they have, whether it's a magazine, publishing house, or what have you benefits editors and critics far more than authors.
