Is the whale in Moby Dick, characterised as the White Whale, an allegory for white people oppressing others?

Yes, quite obviously
The heroic Queequeg is meant to stand in stark contrast to the pansy, self-serving, arrogant narrator.
Colored people are, quite simply, superior

Well, if so, it is an instance not unlike that of ww2's European Theatre in which, discounting perhaps radically Stalin and his boys for a moment, we may easily hypothesize, or see, that German Americans defeated German Germans in what was actually a pan-Germanic conflict. Ahab, then, may be viewed as a kind of failed Eisenhower-- but only because he somehow managed, or rather mis-managed, to get swallowed up by his entire people.

>Queerqueg
What did the author of the Great American Novel mean by this?
>>9275178
obviously that Queequeg was a pagan genderfluid immigrant of color- the ultimate form of human being

I (and now you) have suddenly become acutely aware that there exists tumblr porn of Queequeg and Ishmael. Probably moe-ified Queequeg and Ishmael.
Internet was a mistake.

The whale acts not as a specific metaphor for any perceived enemy. Rather the whale acts as an abyss, a void and it is in this void that all amalgamations can be created.
The very empty nature of the whale renders it the caricature of all enemies.
>>9276110
a force of nature like a hurricane yet more akin to a metaphysical constant than a physical phenomenon
>>9276100
This honestly, couldn't finish the novel because of it

>in this void all amalgamations can be created
>amalgamations
I don't think you know what that word means.
>inb4 you twist it around to have a meaning that was "intended"
Bullshit. It was a stupid word choice. Fuck off.

He used it correctly, brainlet.
I used to masturbate onto birds at a local park. Not a thing that I'm particularly proud of but I became quite good at it. I was taking zinc supplements so I was shooting massive loads and it became something of a sport to me. For anyone interested here is your best strategy. first, you need to find an isolated spot so you don't become a sex offender. I found a short kind of channel area where I saw the pigeons would congregate. Next, you arouse yourself. I was usually content with envisioning the occasional jogging lady coming over and taking a shit on my chest and that was enough to fuel the fire but if you're not as sexually charged as me just take some porn on the go. After you're good an horny, you get some bread. My pigeons preferred white bread but healthier birds might have a taste for honey wheat or maybe even multigrain. Fat, unhealthy birds are slower and easier to hit so remember that. Once you are seated on the bench and ready to do the deed, whip your roosevelt out and scatter bread out within a few feet of you. use your judgement based on how far you know you can cum. I was a lonely and depraved soul who could hit targets the size of a thimble at distances up to 4 feet. You wait for the pigeons to begin eating and to get comfortable with your presence. At this point, you want to coo gently and talk sensually to them to gain their trust. Now you're finally ready to cum on your bird. This is a tough part because the rapid motion of masturbation is very frightening to the birds, so you have to be subtle. Once you master a technique, you simply wind it up and let it go, aiming depending on your past cumming experiences. I always came high so I would aim for the neck of the bird and catch it right in the face. It's an extremely satisfying and erotic feeling, seeing those birds reel around covered in cum and maybe even transporting it to other places in the city. Either way I haven't done it in years but every now and then I catch myself gazing wistfully at a flock of birds, cock throbbing and waiting for them to land close to me.
