Keep yourself safe from life by not living.
What I get from it is that don't ever get too close to anybody, don't tell them how you feel etc, otherwise you will miss them when they are not there.
If you understand Neon Genesis Evangelion \ EoE then you can understand this.
When you share parts of yourself with people, you create moments of connect that, later on, in times of loneliness, you remember and it fills you with longing.
If you think of the book as a whole, his entire odyssey in NYC is him meeting up with various people and divulging (or, interestingly, lying and thereby refusing to divulge) parts of himself to others. Everything is told in the past-tense, so he's remembering all the events with some longing as though he misses those encounters. He chalks this longing up to the fact that he had a connect with all these people, even those to whom he lied.

He meant, "I, J. D. Salinger, am a Jew by blood , through my father, and I will see white men's tales of honor and adventure replaced by angsty-yet-appealing trash. My fellow Jews will do the same for the movies, television, consumer products, and the culture at large."

Jews are not white people, and before 1950 it would have been difficult to find a white non-Jew anywhere who would have disagreed with this statement. Although Jews will assume the white identity when it suits their goals, most Jews would throw every last white Gentile down a well if they thought it would mean more prosperity for *their* people, the Jewish people.

Shut the fuck up you retard. You don't even have the mental capacity to understand Catcher in the Rye for fuck's sake, you're just the other side of the coin of the underage morons who idolize Holden and think like him despite the ending of the book which is the whole point that the book was setting up. As expected of /pol/.

>the separation of Jews from other races by blood rather than religion and social darwinism were only introduced around WW2 era and were contained in nazi Germany
What did /pol/ mean by this?
