IT'S HAPPENING
Two memes collide. Two worlds. Will it still be the samw from now on? XDD
>>8645041
Will it create a new "meta" meme? XD
>>8645038
>[Infinite Jest] is the white male's capacity for speaking over minorities and women encapsulated in one droning, yawning work the serves to function as a sort of mansplain of the human condition. Though in one section, Wallace attempts to filter masculine emotion (or lack there of) through the mask of a "feminine entity" (Kate Gompert) at a desperate, grabbing, clawing and gnashing attempt at inclusion.
Do you agree?

How many fascists has Mr Green killed?

he didn't kill them himself, he sent his macbook to kill them like a hunting hawk or something, hence why "this machine kills fascists" instead of "i kill fascists" or "this body kills fascists" or something like that being printed on his t-shirt
btw this thread is full of crappy understanding of biology and, i guess, some blatant lies
>>8645038
i hate the way people perceive fascists and communists. if he were to write "this machine kills communists" it would be against their "politically correct" made up morality but killing fascists are okay for them some reason.

>If race, gender, sexuality, and even intelligence are social constructs well then what's stopping me from socially constructing the definition of homo sapiens?
you cannot "socially construct" shit, were you even thinking when you wrote that? the difference between something you make up and these actual social constructs is their performative efficiency. not to mention that everything you posted itt is just a subset of the social construct of race anyway. "blacks are subhuman" and "asians don't have souls" are pretty much the cornerstones of the ideology of race.
>>8645242
your prosecution complex is showing
>>8645113
You're a retarded troll so I don't know why I'm doing this but those same scientists classify us all as homo sapien and will tell you the idea of race doesn't really have a basis in science. Learn to philology ya fucking cunt.
>>8645242
Because communist includes a huge range of political beliefs including many great and peaceful ideas. If it said 'this machine kills Stalinists' or 'this machine kills members of Khmer Rouge' no one would care.

John Green is a typical liberal with recycled and boring ideas. He adds nothing of worth to any intellectual discussion. He's a basic bitch leftist with opinions accepted by the status quo. I hope he dies.
Someone please explain to me what's going on.
I used to read John Green books as a kid (Looking for Alaska, specifically) but now I find him insufferable.
I also liked Infinite Jest. How are the two related?
This thread is a special kind of experience.

Or
Children who don't see OTHER PEOPLE using mirrors to inspect themselves won't get the idea until they're smart enough to figure it out themselves.
Children who live in houses with mirrors see other people do it.
Maybe there's nothing magical about mirrors and they're just one more thing you either know how to use or don't.

White but Kurdish-speaking/activist anon here. I have taught western volunteers Kurdish and generally work in Kurdish activist circles. Kurds tend to be very appreciative of anyone who knows even something of their language or political predicament, but don't rely on volunteering to get qt Kurdish waifus. That said some volunteers have ended up married to other comrades in Kurdistan, so you never know.

No they are many groups but fascism is inherently anti humanist. It is fundamentally based on devaluing human life and valorizing violence. Many branches of communism do the same but not inherently so.
Communism is at its worst when it approaches fascism.
Kind of like how monotheism is at its worst when it approaches Islam.

Meh, that's an acceptable take, I guess. Wallace's handling of the PGOAT's perspective was pretty graceless and rude.
>>8652386
The best
Sooo mind fuck
>>8645052
I mean, it's a fair assessment. Wallace was an extremely naive Midwesterner in a very real sense that tried, embarrassingly, to emulate experiences of demographics that he probably never even encountered. He's good at capturing two demos: mid-upper class, educated white people and degen white trash drug addicts. Those two demos, he's got laser-pointed insight into how they function.
His views on women are a bit iffy, Kate Gompert and the Moms are good characters but the Subjects Orin seduces are kind of cartoonish and the PGOAT is pretty flat for a crack addict. Then he embarrasses himself with the infamous Wardine Be Cry chapter. That shit was fucking jokes, mate.
>>8645052
john be cry
I love how every post that links an actual source and real proof that John Green loved DFW is ignored in this thread, but the speculation that he finds it "le politically incorrect :P" gets tons of replies.
John Green is the same writer but with more honesty and less stupid gimmicks. Probably even comparable prose, if not better. Also, if you compare chapters like "Wardine be cry", even the worst of John Green speaks of more life experience. None of this is to say that any of these qualities are done well with John Green, but that DFW is a lowest-caliber writer, or close.
So yes, John Meme read Infinite Jest and reviewed it twice, with the same platitudes I read on /lit/ that it made him "not feel so lonely". They were extremely positive, not bringing white males into it at all.
This board is so crap and dumb. OP posted a photo shopped picture and every body start taking shot on both the writers. Sometimes this board is even worse than r/books. Pivoting and discourse is at best.

He did live in a halfway house for awhile. The real Don Gately was pissed when he heard about the book. Wardine was shit but as someone who's been in jail and worked construction and shit, I thought Gately was great.

Calling yourself a communist in public will generally get you weird looks and derision the same as fascism will.
Can someone explain what this is all about?

Protection from what? Ze germans?

It's not even close. Communist iconography will get you eyerolls, fascist iconography will get you lynched.
>>8646185
nasty shit, dude
>>8656621
probably because the end goal of fascism is total war and the domination of one race over all, whilst communism's end goal is co-operation and egaltarianism between all of mankind
