OP here, I will cite "Moscow: to the End of the Line"

"When did you first notice that you're a fool, Venichka?

Here's when. When I was reproached at once and the same time for two things in polar opposition--for being both boring and frivolous...

And should I tell why? Because I am sick in the soul.. Because, since that time, as I remember my condition, I do nothing but simulate mental health, expending everything, without a scrap left over, all powers, mental, physical, whatever. This is what makes me boring. Everything that you speak of, whatever occupies your time, is forever alien to me. While that which occupies me, I'll not say a word about. Maybe from fear I'll be taken for crazy, maybe from something else, but--all the same--not a word.

'There was a ship...'

>wd recite Coleridge at moderate pace from this point of the AM while making a slight gesture with my hand toward the nearest door that i was slowly moving toward. I would then publicly keep my mouth shut for the rest of the semester. A kind of negative reputation wd quickly blossom that would finally reach the ears of some Keats-loving qt early April. She would become curious and begin to semi-stalk me. Finally she'd approach me at one of the dining halls and ask me if she could sit at the table i was sitting at alone and join me for either lunch or breakfast. i wd smile and say 'of course.' Our horrifying relationship wd commence two weeks later and wd be over before the end of the semester. Easy.

Literray me:

>I said, “I’m guarding these barracks tonight and you boys are supposed to keep quiet as much as you can”—or some such silly remark. They slammed the door in my face. I stood looking at the wood of it against my nose. It was like a Western movie; the time had come for me to assert myself. I knocked again. They opened up wide this time. “Listen,” I said, “I don’t want to come around bothering you fellows, but I’ll lose my job if you make too much noise.”
“Who are you?”
“I’m a guard here.”
“Never seen you before.”
“Well, here’s my badge.”
“What are you doing with that pistolçracker on your ass?”
“It isn’t mine,” I apologized. “I borrowed it.”
“Have a drink, fer krissakes.” I didn’t mind if I did. I took two.
I said, “Okay, boys? You’ll keep quiet, boys? I’ll get hell, you know.”
“It’s all right, kid,” they said. “Go make your rounds. Come back for another drink if you want one.”
And I went to all the doors in this manner, and pretty soon I was as drunk as anybody else. Come dawn, it was my duty to put up the American flag on a sixty-foot pole, and this morning I put it up upside down and went home to bed. When I came back in the evening the regular cops were sitting around grimly in the office.

When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial. I've always been an ironic dreamer.

Because, you fucking worthless succubi, in the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence. A kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life. You feel it already in the vegetable kingdom: from the great catalpa to the humblest herb, how many plants die and how many are killed; but, from the moment you enter the animal kingdom, this law is suddenly in the most dreadful evidence. A Power, a violence, at once hidden and palpable. . . has in each species appointed a certain number of animals to devour the others. . . And who [in this general carnage] exterminates him who will exterminate all others? Himself. It is man who is charged with the slaughter of man. . . The whole earth, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but a vast altar upon which all that is living must be sacrificed without end, without measure, without pause, until the consummation of things, until evil is extinct, until the death of death."

Not that anon but small talk (the majority of normie interaction) is not really speaking and barely conversing. It may as well just be a series of grunting with how vapid and insincere it is. "How's the weather?" "[Observation on the weather]" "How are you?" The last asked with such uncare that the person is already walking by. It's just a ritual normies do. Like smiling all the time or saying, "Have a nice day." Hollow grunts that appear genuine.

I could be wrong though .

You subhuman baboon. You literal nigger.
How dare you speak, you swarthy jungle monkey. How dare you open your big lipped, rim encrusted, menthol cigarette smelling mouth?
You are human trash, Diego Tyrone LeShawn de Maradona. Universally despised, derided and mocked. Your nationality and skin tone offers no hope to the world that South America can ever prosper. Crawl back in to the Brazilian jungle you came out of, you literal orangutan.
I hope you decide to sail your grandfathers skip to the Falklands and rape some sheep, as is in the negroes nature. It would still be the whitest pussy you ever had. Give Nigel and Robert a chance for some target practice, your sole use to the world. Argentinians obsession with a few windswept islands in the Atlantic is hilarious but sad. Coincidentally its the only worthwhile contribution Argentina has made to the medical field. The MUH LAS MALVINAS sentiment in the average negro Argentinian is both an early warning sign of autism in children, and early on set Alzheimer's in adults.
Take your black hairy fingers off your keyboard, and never talk about the human species again, you mockery of our supposed shared ancestor.. No amount of olive oil and wheat flour slabbed on your face every morning will make you white. It's about as delusional of an idea as your daydreams of European heritage.
You nigger.
You make Bolivia look like a beacon of civilisation.
You are the Baltimore of South America.
Go fertilise the pampas with you and your families corpses, its the best you can hope for in life. For the first time in your life, nigger, you have a job making food for beings vastly superior to yourself. Uruguayan cattle. Coincidentally, it would be the first time an Argentinian "man" provided for a family.
Die, Diego. No one would miss you. Except for Australian Aboriginals, who now would have no one to make them look good.
