How come /pol/ calls /lit/ communist left-wingers when the most popular writers here are people like DFW, Nick Land, Max Stirner, Jordan Peterson, Houellebecq, and the Greeks? To me it seems like this is the most right-wing board on this website.

Politics are fun and the world appears to be closer to ending every time I look at the news. If I call enough people cucks maybe I can trigger a revolution and fix everything.

Sometimes I think Nick Land just posts about himself on here but he's also probably the only remotely interesting and subversive living philosopher so I don't really mind in spite of the fact that he's clearly mentally ill.

He absolutely was not a leftist you absolute retard.

that being said he is absolutely not a right winger either.

Read Nietzche first

also don't read stirner unless you're 100% sure you can read him without taking his lessons to heart. Trying to be an egoist will just fuck your life up.

Stirner was an autist. Literally anon.

If you read stirner you will misunderstand everything he wrote like 100% of /pol/ , /lit/ and /leftypol/. If you study Stirner you will become an italian criminal who makes poetry about nietzsche.

None of those writers are /lit/. DFW is a meme. Nick Land bait posts here. Max Stirner gets mixed reviews and is honestly just a way for kiddos to get out of arguments they are losing. Jordan Peterson gets maid fun of because /lit/ loves the postmodern. Houellebecq is considered an okay writer. The Greeks are pre left/right.

Was outside just now, in my European country. Did some shopping, wasn't experiencing a big shitstorm or dystopia.

Sure there are some issues regarding immigration, however, this is not close to the American view that the whole continent is being set ablaze by raping sandniggers.

Stirner isn't a real philosopher. There's a reason nobody knows what he looks like--he wasn't even important enough to shit on, the only relevant thing he ever did was piss off Marx once.

>huu huu muh spooks
You don't believe in that bullshit and neither did Stirner. It was a flat, unambiguous lie to justify ignoring truths that you don't like.

Insofar as /lit/ has right-wingers, they seem to be much more genuine than /pol/'s right-wingers. That is to say, when /lit/ has a right-wing thread we generally talk about actual thinkers of the right, about Catholicism (which is the ultimate right-wing religion), about contemporary movements in politics and society (which is where Land comes in). Basically, /lit/ takes politics much more seriously than /pol/ does, so of course when /lit/ does right-wing stuff it comes across much more clearly and directly, as opposed to /pol/, whose idea of right-wing intellectual activity seems to be watching Fox News and posting on Twitter.

He's probably not lying but he also probably doesn't live near a huge metropolitan area or is in one of the countries that has taken less refugees. I personally live in the "hellhole" Belgium but i don't live anywhere near the capital and its slum known as Molenbeek. Only highly populated areas mostly suburbs in the capitals like Brussels,Paris, Berlin are as bad as you think.

Because we're fucking memeing when we talk about that. Just because it's popular to talk about doesn't mean we like it. There's always at least two John Greene threads just to rip on him. 80% of the shitheads make fun of /pol/ here. It's called a containment board for a reason.
>>
>>9622534
I usually can't stand right wing writing, especially contemporary stuff, but strangely enough I've found that my all my study of the Marxist/post-modern canon has led to me to holding right wing views. I find it hard to believe anybody can truly understand what social constructionism means and then continue to hold left wing views.

Why is Catholicism the ultimate right-wing religion?
>>
>>9626965
Because it's the oldest religion in the West that still exists. You can bring up Germanic or Greco-Roman Paganism, but they were stomped out, rightly or wrongly, and at this point trying to take them back up again is merely a revival rather than a continuation. By contrast, being a Catholic is a continuation of a tradition that is at least 1500 years old, and is often argued to be almost 2000 years old.

And, of course, to participate in what is old, and to believe it may contain more truth than what is new, is the key to being a right-winger.

That means nothing, Plato was an ardent enemy of traditional greek culture (ie the poets) was he a progressive?
Or Epicurus who encouarage to live in communes like hippies?
Or Democritus for which "equality everywere is noble"?

Applying a contingent political division to societies with vastly different problems and necessities than our own, mean making something like a label and essential characteristic of the human being, which is historically provably wrong.
It's the opening of the public space of politics in which programs and governance have to compete with different ideas that right-left dichotomy. The Ancien-Regime (with feudality, hierarchies and whatnot) wasnt right-wing, The Termidorian Reaction was. It is a modern phenomeno through and through

The endgame of your line of thinking its not even that subtle, by positing an eternal dichotomy natural to human, you can easily go and show that since most societies in history had hierachies and divisions that is the natural state of man, and the call for equality an error, somehting that shouldvve not been.
Truth is that left-and right emerg after an event or a series of events (westphalian sovereignity, capitalism, revolutions) and the different ways people reacted to it (grossly divided in two camps, those who want to go back and who don't)
