How would DFW react to us using his mug as reaction photos? Would

>>9237157
he was very embittered against irony, he would have written something lame imho

>>9237236

Because it's shit. As you assholes continue to make fun of every honest attempt at betterment, people suffer and the capitalist dogs reap the reward of wealth.

Everyone is getting more miserable and you are part of the problem. Big Dave was a good, honest man trying to help people and you shit on him because you're insecure and you want company in your misery. If you'd just stop and let everyone else be, we'd all rise out of the shitter and be better.

>>9237256
So true

>>9237443

I wasn't pretending. I was expressing my actual retardation.

Also, not a communist. Americanism is an inadequate religion and irony/capitalism reinforce it. This is what DFW says exactly this in the interview that these stills come from, but most of you have listened to it because you're too too because ironically memeing.

I bet you're westerner from a country that never had socialism / communism and has never been poor.
Stay memed, son.

>>9237515

There's nothing wrong with being poor as long as you have a roof over your head, wood on the hearth and hot food in your stomach.

Damn, you suck

>>9237698

DFW, "pretends that being sincere is hard and that it is some sort of struggle."

i.e. - Being sincere isn't actually hard, there is no resistance to sincerity.

_________________

I come here, attempt to be sincere and am met with "Damn, you suck"

i.e. - In my attempt at sincerity I'm met with resistance and such harsh words as "human wastes" and "this guy."

Weird

>In my attempt at sincerity I'm met with resistance and such harsh words as "human wastes" and "this guy."

Are you implying that I'm not being sincere? Because I am, I truly am disgusted by mindless drones like you.

>>9237791

No

You said that being sincere isn't a struggle and then you responded to my sincere post by calling me human waste. I'm saying that being sincere is a struggle against assholes like you.

>>9237827
>I'm saying that being sincere is a struggle against assholes like you.
So... what should I do? Should I be insincere?
And what could you do? I mean, could you, for example, stop parroting marketing slogans? Just be sincere and don't make a fuss about it. Sincerity is not struggling, bragging about sincerity is.

>>9237837

No, you shouldn't be a such dickhead and rather than insulting people who don't know anything you should tell them why they're wrong and then redirect them to what's right.

>>9237157
He probably would have made a few jokes about the internet, maybe something about internet dating, but he probably would have seen it as topical trash as nabokov would say

>>9237862
Or maybe I can be as harsh as possible and either force people to challenge the marketing propaganda they've been subjected to, or force them to stay away from me.

In this way I'm being both sincere and helpful. You, for example, have been now subjected to the presence of marketing in DFW's speeches. Does it matter if I have not been nice?

>>9237515
>I bet you're "INSERT EXACTLY WHAT I AM HERE"

Stay memed, son.

>>9237837

Fuck you

>>9237256
desu i'm not someone who abuses eyerony, maybe because i'm a little older than the average channer, but yea i reapet: his stance against irony was lame because he was an extremely frustrated man embittered by young/lighter people having fun while he was trapped in his own fears.

i definitely prefer other critiques of irony but i give a little kudos to dfw for making the irony critical meme mainstream

>>9237946

>In this way I'm being both sincere and helpful

You would have been helpful in your first post had you more effectively pointed out that DFW was full of shit. Instead you obscured your message with hurtful rhetoric and did nothing other than lower self-esteems. That is a textbook case of being an asshole who is making the world worse.

>Does it matter if I have not been nice?

In some cases being a dick is a more effective way of making your point and revealing the truth, but if you're just being a dick and not making your point clear then you're an asshole.

>>9237837
back to the gulag with you

>>9237777
>people say mean words to me on the Internet, this is so hard!!!
you're such a pussy, it's incredible

>>9238467

It isn't necessarily hard, but sincerity is met with resistance. That was my point.

Also, telling someone that they are human garbage is bit beyond "mean words." With the right words I think anyone can be disheartened to the point that they question everything they're doing. The result might be redirecting that person off the course of becoming a better person and onto a path of becoming an unfulfilled loser.

I don't know, maybe you should just go ahead and shit on people. At least you get something positive out of it.

So does /lit/ not like DFW or is this just some weird hyper-irony going on ITT?

>>9239252
he sucks dick

>>9237777
Don't throw punches if you can't take them.

>>9238710

God forbid somebody pre-emptively attempts to tackle one of the many toxic narratives floating around the world before somebody explicitly takes ownership of it. We couldn't have an organic discussion on /lit/ now, can we?

what are you doing on 4chin little timmy

time to go to bed

>>9237157
I don't think he would really care, since the practice of using his face as reaction photos would garner him more popularity.

yeah sure dfw was a self-conscious, weak man whose goal was to be the kurt cobain of literature.

infinite jest is also fun and satisfying af, and as an author he was great at communicating to a mass audience. dfw is at the pinnacle of poplit, suck it up you dickless contrarian losers

>>9237777
Ur not being sincere tho, even if u think u are

>>9239915
i don't ackhsually care of logically sound threads

i was referring about him attacking an anon for things never said and insulting, then proceeding to lament about being insulted himself to on 4chan dot org

>Big Dave was a good, honest man
Yes yes, saint david indeed

Using DFW's face to so very momentarily push away the garbage on page 1
