I'm not informed enough on the text or its authorship to comment but I will say that if Bloom said it, you can generally assume it's not for affirmative action purposes.

>>9850239
women are simply inferior to us as white men. Bloom confirmed trying to breed out whiteness and destroying Western civilization

>Tolstoy on par with Shakespeare

Yes and no. The deal with fantasy is that most people read it purely to self insert or for dragons and shit. Politics usually has to be simplified to work in those settings. If you get too far into it then the readers lose interest fast. A better way to approach it would be an exploration of alternative political systems in a fantastic world and the implications of such. Even then, fantasy politics have been so played out by now that the market has already been saturated with books about ancap dwarves and socialist elves.

Dear lord, how I gonna sell my writtings?
I have been messing with the idea over a fanfic site, under the tag originals, and I was planning to expand the universe and try selling it. Tho isen't a major topic of the novel, the policies and stuff related have a bigger space in the expanded universe.
Tho I didn't put taxes...Yet...

yes. hugely

fuck, just set it in some kind of tottering neoliberal world (the world of today) *or* as one of complex dynastic/monarchical politics (arguably also the world of today).

sooner or later somebody is going to write a great NRx-inspired fantasy world and it is going to be dope as fuck to read. can you put snobby aristocratic ultra-rich elves in it? they're still elves, they still think they're good - and they are - but off the top of my head here, if you wrote a story about Elf Politics or whatever and had Upstart Humans - or the reverse, i guess...for sure, i'd check that out.

NRx has all kinds of neat stuff to write about. what happens when Elves fall in love with money? backstabbing? intrigue? what happens when Elves and Humans don't get along and they're both supposed to be good guys?

don't have to make it as decadent and weird as elric or anything. but yeah, i mean, abuse of power stuff is always interesting. very human.

power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely...could be wicked fun. no need to copy game of thrones, how about a French Revolution-inspired fantasy? decadent nobles, trying to hold on to power...redpilled elves, redpilled humans, bluepilled elves, bluepilled humans...politics, love and money...

would read OP. or, if you prefer, take all of that and flush it. i don't know. but yeah. cool stuff.

i send them off to my agent for that shit

I have mine peer-reviewed by a team of imageboard scholars.

When Sancho gets his island, many references to Solomon-- he in fact basically BECOMES Solomon. First bit to come to mind. Samuel, Kings important perhaps.

>diving deeper into the intricacies of meaninglessness

really joggin my noggin

nothing means anything and everywhere eventually goes no where. nothing has any value, point or purpose. the ultimate gold standard for anything you see or interact with is nothing. that is as far and as intricate as nihilism goes

It's babby's first philosophy and is idiotic once you get into actual rigorous philosophy

Just skip it and save yourself from "that phase"

I remember seeing an interesting post a few months ago about how her publisher was associated with MI5, and that publishing company published a book that was extremely similar to Harry Potter. If anyone can confirm/disprove this then I'd appreciate it.

there's one main reason to believe that she did write it: her online personality matches the warped understanding of the world presented in the books. The Harry Potter series is exactly the kind of books a person like JK Rowling would write.

>>9849917
how do you even know that its her thats tweeting?

A priest told me to start with the New Testament and then read the Old through the lens of the new and through Jesus Christ's teachings. For instance there's all kinds of shit in Leviticus Chapter 20 about putting such-and-such a person to death or stoning such-and-such a person as a community for such-and-such a thing, but Jesus directly when against this when he said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" so as a proper Christian (or even just a scholar of religion) there are parts of the Old Testament that you actually have to ignore or at least not accept in the way you live your day-to-day life. I think there's also a bit in Deuteronomy that says if a woman is not a virgin upon marriage then she should be whipped or killed or something like that, but again, Old Testament. Christians obviously do not follow this.

So yeah, first read the New Testament, because the Priest blatantly said that the Old Testament can be pretty hard to read at times. I first tried to read the Old Testament first and just couldn't stick with it. I hope this helps, OP. Good luck on your journey, whether or not you convert. Personally I also intend to read the Quran too. There's a whole lot of fucked up shit in that, and you can see it in how Middle Eastern culture and Sharia Law is doing. Western/Christian culture is clearly far superior in most if not all ways, particularly in terms of gender equality, even if modern feminists would have us believe that the world hates women and that women are unimaginably oppressed by the fictional invisible 'patriarchy' boogieman. I'd LOVE to see some women take a trip to the Middle East to see what real oppression is. One woman tried to hitchhike across the Middle East... she was raped and murdered. Surely Allah is all-knowing and merciful, as well as his Prophet Muhammad who enjoys fucking 9 year old girls...
